I love you Korean Bowl. Like the type of love where I might cry a little if you ever went away from the Twin Cities dining scene.
I ordered a ton of food Xmas Eve via food delivery app - kimbap, sweet & sour chicken, stir fried pork, and stir fried squid.
Each entree came with its own separate container of rice (generous!) and its own side of banchans. Definitely a good size portion. Korean Bowl takes care of the little details that make a difference - I notice their takeout containers have 2 small cutouts on the side to allow for venting - super clever! The main dishes sit in tin foil to keep sauce/oil from potentially spilling into the banchans. I especially appreciate that the sweet & sour chicken was kept dry/crispy and sauce came separately. The little touches do matter and go a long way.
But let’s talk about their piece de resistance - the stir fried pork is OUTSTANDING. I don’t know the last time I’ve had Korean stir fried pork this good. I literally took one bite and decided “I’m a customer for life” based on this dish alone. And at a price point of $11 for a set meal, it’s outrageous.
The sweet sour chicken is its own deliciousness as well. None of the mediocre red sweet sour sauce - oh no - this takes sweet sour to the next level for the better. You actually get chunks of pineapple, onions, red peppers, black fungus in the sauce. Real quality!
My only lament is the squid....too rubbery and bland for my liking. It fails to shine when compared to the pork and chicken.
I enjoyed the pork so much I couldn’t even touch kimbap - which is my #1 fav Korean food item. So that says a lot right there.
In summary, order the pork. You won’t regret it!!
