I just recently tried this place for the first time, after my uncle told me he goes here like at least once a week for breakfast but usually a couple times a week.. so I tried their Korean Tacos, and the first time I got them, they were probably one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! The Bun Bao was warm and soft, the meat was hot and the flavor was amazing, their sprouts and vegeatable were crunchy and flavorful.. and then their sauce they give you for it is so freaking good! I told my dad it was one of the best meals ever..
So I JUST went there again and just finished my meal, I got the Korean tacos again, but this time is was really disappointed.. I’m somebody who gets butthurt even paying like $3 for a Mexican tacos again, but these are different.. however the total comes to like $17, maybe $18-$20 with tip. so it’s not cheap but if it was like the first time, it’d be worth it.. but this time, the bun bao was cold and not as soft and was stuck to the paper they put it on top of.. the meat was like warm.. the sprouts were kind of slimy or wet.. the sauce was still good.. but then I also got two chunks of the burnt like scrapings off the grill.. so I took a bite and felt a crunch and then my mouth was filled with that nasty the burn to a crisp taste that I couldn’t wash out.. and when I finally got the taste out, it happened again!
It’s a cool looking place, I’m sure maybe other food is good.. I just tend to not go back to restaurants that are that inconsistent.. maybe it was just a bad day.. it was like 6:00pm on a Saturday and they were packed, so it’s weird to me they’d have cold food unless that’s how they made it.. I placed my order as I was in the car 7 minutes from the restaurant, they told me it’d take 15 minutes, I showed up as they were bringing the food up to the counter so it would’ve been just prepared. I might one day try them for breakfast or something.. but it’ll be a while before I ever do a dinner, that burnt charcoal bits of grill scraping really was disgusting. I also tried to find an email where I could let them know before I wrote a review, but there is none.. maybe if I try it again I’d update it and reflect that. I just don’t know if I’ll be able to talk myself I to spending $20 for a meal when there’s so many others where I haven’t had this experience and I’d pay like $10.
So idk, maybe you’ll have the best meal you’ve ever had, maybe you’ll get the scrapings from the grill instead of meat. You pick if it’s worth it to you lol. It’s a bummer because I really wanted to find a place to get good Asian food right by my house, so this looked like The One.. but maybe I’ll find another place nearby
It’s pretty hard to tell the difference, the first picture is from the first time I ate there, even in pictures it looks more colorful lol.. and the second picture is from my order I just ate like 30 minutes ago.
