| - Highly disappointing. Would've given them one star, except the food is cheaper than similar restaurants and decently fresh. It's pretty much korean style Chipotle (build your own bowl). You can get white rice, purple rice, noodles, or lettuce (salad). Protein options are chicken, spicy chicken, steak and tofu. There are a few hot toppings- potatoes, bean sprouts and black beans. And a bunch of cold topping options- daikon, kimchi, cucumber, carrot, kale, lettuce, corn, egg and cheese. Also free miso soup and sauces bar, there are 6 different sauces- cucumber wasabi, teriyaki, yum yum, Korean red, sriracha, and sesame ginger.
I got a bowl with white rice, chicken (non spicy), all the hot toppings and cold toppings, sauces on the side. Honestly none of the components of the bowl were flavorful and I was highly dissatisfied. I tried all the sauces, they all have some room for improvement. The bowl was warm, likely related to having mostly cold ingredients, but it would've been a lot better if it was served hot (I realize they can't make it in a hot stone pot like Korean bibimbap but still, I did not enjoy it warm with cold toppings). It also wasn't salty enough, especially to be served on a plain rice and multiple raw unseasoned vegetable toppings. I tried adding some soy sauce but it didn't help much, and I didn't want to drown it in soy sauce. None of the 6 sauce options are salty either, most were more sweet or spicy or sweet and spicy. The miso soup was alright, pretty much just a standard miso soup.
I have never eaten somewhere that has been so disappointing and I did not have any amount of enjoyment in this food. I would rather eat chipotle or chapati or subway or mcdonalds or Taco Bell.
Would not go here again ever.
