| - So had heard great things about the place but I was skeptical. I've been to a few places like this before in other cities with varying success. Finally got to try it out today and was pleasantly surprised. It's a chain, so I'll knock it down a little but it's a solid 4 overall.
The positive: friendly staff and large portions. Got purple rice with bean sprouts, potatoes, spicy chicken, and all the cold toppings except egg and cheese, and sesame ginger dressing. Everything tasted pretty good, no complaints, and the portions probably rival Chipotle, maybe more. Seems to be a tad healthier feeling than Chipotle too. The space is pretty trendy and definitely arranged with wait longer queueing in mind.
The iffy: would have liked more spice in the chicken and kimchi, but I know that's very subjective. I'd also maybe ask for only half portion of the dressing, although not sure if that would severely cut down on the overall flavor. I'd like to try the steak next time. I'm assuming it's more like galbi than just plain steak?
definitely recommend to everyone to try and definitely recommend as a great alternate to Chipotle when looking for a big, reasonably priced meal! Will definitely be back.
