The Best Restaurants in the Eastside of King County | Eater Seattle

"Located next to a cash register in a Shell gas station, O’Bop serves Korean barbecue bowls and mandu that entice diners up the busy 148th Avenue even during rush hour. The bulgogi here is smoky-sweet and tender, placed atop rice and silky, bouncy japchae, all nestled between crunchy shredded lettuce and assorted sauces. Vegetarian options stand their ground; the medium-firm tofu and zingy kimchi are a lighter counterpoint to the richer meats. Ellie Oh, the owner and operator of both O’Bop and the gas station, has been quietly nourishing Lake Hills commuters since 2016 with her no-nonsense cuisine. O’Bop is open for takeout dining." - Brett Bankson

There is something to be said about gas station food. I was waiting for a massage to be over so, I was looking for food near me…saw photos and I knew I had to check this place out before they close for the day! I was not disappointed! The cabbage in the meal is perfectly cooked! HUGE serving! Pleasant staff! Clean! There will definitely be leftovers! The noodle bowl was swimming in sweet sauce! There’s a layer of rice thankfully, to soak it up! Otherwise, it’s good! Try it out!

Very tasty, quick and great value! Even the kids loved it. Would absolutely go again, plus they have a good variety on their menu! We had potsticker, chicken, beef and pork bop.

Well here's to another food truck review, this one will definitely be a short one unfortunately just because the options were very limited. So this is inside the gas station if you are looking for a foodtruck its just the painting 😆. What it would've been cool is to actually have the kitchen setup so that you can walk up to the window and order but thats not the case. You have to go in and pretty much order from the monitor and the gas station clerk takes your order. Obviously it was too go and I got the beef marinaded bowl pretty much bulgolgi and at a low temperature since i always share with my dog 😆 did not want to give him any spices. The bowl was actually good and very fulfilling for sure with the size of the bowl. Very easy to eat and head back on the road or back to work. I think i would recommend this for a here and there meal but i wouldn't come too often , i just didn't like the atmosphere to be fair to be a foodtruck quickie. For the price and serving i think its pretty fair

Hole in the Wall? May be! who cares when they serve amazing food! This is inside the Shell Gas station and you have friendly folks taking your order and serving you a delicious meal! They offer meals that are take out and you can eat while anywhere you want to. B Bop is for Beef, Po Bop is for Pork and Chi Bop is for Chicken. We ordered Chi Bop and with Spicy rating of 7/10. They ask for a Spice Level when you order and please be cautious of the spice rating. We love Spicy food and spice rating for 7 was the perfect spice level, anything more would have been difficult! The Chi Bop is stir fried chicken which is doused with min of 4-5 sauces on a bed of rice, thin noodles and salad. This was amazing ! we also ordered Mandoo (chicken) which are chicken pot stickers served with their special sauce. Plenty of parking, you get your dish within 5 minutes! will come to try other Bops!

Interesting location in the gas stop. The food tastes delicious, it's somewhat sweet though because of Mayo. But if you are a mayo lover then definitely try it. The size is not large, so it's good for a quick and light lunch.

I was surprised to get such tasty and healthy Korean food in a gas station. The bowl comes with protein of your choice, glass noodles, lettuce, and rice. The mandu (dumplings) are golden and crispy. Most importantly, the lady was very friendly and personable. Great place to get a quick fix for your Korean food craving!!

I love o bop! I always get the chi bop! It’s my favorite Korean place and I come here once a week. Never disappoints! Portions are big too.

Update (02/19/2019): I ordered Po Bop again through DoorDash this time, as I could not visit the store in-person to get the food. I asked for extra lettuce in the instructions for delivery, and sure enough they gave me extra lettuce in another pouch on the side, plus extra sauces as well that I didn't ask for! Thanks again, another lunch deliciously handled. ________________________________________________________________________ I visited for the first time on Friday after one of my colleague told me about it - interesting place, it is within the gas station, there is a decor outside that indicates that they are selling these in the station so you can see it from outside, but it may not look so obvious for first timers. Only take-outs, there are no tables to sit down to eat. The food came out very fast. I had Po Bop, it was delicious. The portion was good, I just felt a bit heavy in the end given the amount of meat and noodles in comparison to the lettuce. Good place, I will visit again.

5 star for food and value! Food was good- bowl has it all :) potato noodle, iceberg lettuce dividing the rice and protein of choice on top. Drizzled with the spicy sauce with choice of 1-5 level of spiciness. High carb level, so yum if needing something quick and easy. Location- inside the 76 gas station convenience store. parking available. Service- nice, straight forward. Ambiance- no sit down area. Order where you would get any of the convenience store items. Value- great! Recommend- if you're looking for "fast food" casual Korean food, totally perfect!

Located in a Shell in Bellevue, this place serves up Korean food in a very fast casual setting, takeout only. I got the combo bop with chicken and beef, as well as a small mandoo, both level 3 spicy (scale from 1-10, so just a little spicy). For about $20, it is okay price and unfortunately with inflation, this place is not it in terms of value anymore. It used to be an amazing deal, from what I saw. The mandoo at $5.99+tax is only 3 small pieces, and the combo bop, at $12.99+tax, is mostly japchae, salad, and rice, barely any meat. The japchae is clumped together and a bit on the overcooked side. The sauce is good and does make it easy to consume everything even though it is almost all carbs, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way here.

Came across this place accidentally. I stopped by to pump gas & had to try it. I was delighted. I got the noddle bop 8 stars & my goodness! WOW, it was spicy. Typically in my experience people will say its spicy but not to my liking. This one was over board. Totally not their fault. It was delicious. Presentation could be better to make it look more appetizing but just dig in & enjoy. The portion size is perfect to fill you up just right. I also found it to be fairly affordable.

Sometimes you a tiktok video and you're like oooh I should go try this place. I was intrigued by Korean food in a gas station. Honestly, I'm always intrigued by any food in a gas station because honestly- these places are honestly slept on. The Mandu - the flavor itself was great! I was not disappointed with that at all. I was actually surprised with how much I enjoyed it because I wasn't expecting much. My feedback is that the sauce needs to served on the side. Considering the fact that this is a to go joint only, the reheat factor is high. I could easily reheat mandu in the air fryer if the sauce was not on these. In fact, the sauce makes these less crispy immediately and takes away from the experience. My son and I both got a combo O'BOP with bulgogi and pork and the meat was SKIMPY and so was the jap chae. The bowl was filled with rice. And the rice was hard. Like it needed to be cooked more. So because of this, we couldn't eat our bowls. And when I spend almost $30 on food that I can't even eat, I get pretty disappointed. We did eat the little bit of meat on top but I tell you, it was 1oz if that. So little. I read through other reviews to see if this was a factor for others but it just seems their food is inconsistent because someone else complained of soggy rice. Maybe I came on an off day but I wouldn't risk my chances again. There are much better offerings in Bellevue for Korean food.

I've heard of this place through social media and drive by O'BOP once and a while, so I finally took the chance to try them out today for lunch. It's located inside a gas station convenient store and you order through the gas station cashier. There's no seating, so it's strictly takeout. I ordered the B-Bop which is a BBQ beef marinated in bulgogi sauce. All the ingredients are stacked on top of each other, from the sauce-covered meat on top to the glass noodles and vegetables below, and in the final layer the rice. The meat itself is just okay, but I found it a little bit dry. The sauce does help though and add more flavour to the meat. My favourite part of the dish was the glass noodles, it was really delicious. And for the bottom part where the rice is, it was also a little dry and there was so much of it. I think the ratio of the bowl could be changed, there wasn't much bbq beef inside but there was so much rice. Big imbalance I would say. You should probably mix the bowl when eating this too. I like the concept of kbbq in a bowl, but in my opinion the bowl is a work in progress. Not bad coming from the gas station though, and the bowl was pretty big too.

I randomly stumbled upon this place while looking for a gas station. I love Korean rice bowls so I had to try it! I got the combo bop with the chicken and beef with 6 stars spicy level. So good! So yummy! I love the sauce and all the textures. There was japchae with it too. There was only one guy working but he prepared it pretty fast and he was friendly. The location was convenient since it was on a main road and next to my work! There's no seating or anything but that's because it's inside a shell food mart.

I would definitely recommend OBop, if you like Korean food but lack the time to sit down to get the full experience...this is where it's at. They have a variety of bowls to suit your palate. My favorite would be the Galbi Bowl (not the exact name) it's just super yummy. They are also very quick to get you your order so you have time to eat and back to the office. I've never been inside the shop so I cannot comment on that part. But definitely, check this place out, I promise you won't be disappointed!

An unassuming spot inside the shell gas station. I think this is more common in overseas countries where you can sometimes get decent food at the gas station. Got the combo. Reminds me of yoshinoya's in LA when I was going to college. Decent food for cheap. I can see college kids going here or if you stopped here if you were on a road trip. The Asian lady serving up the food was very nice as was the cashier who watches over the gas station part.

I enjoyed my lunch, and considered it good for "gas station" food. I got the chicken. The flavors were very satisfying, though I would have liked spicier (I ordered 7 out of 10 stars). It came in one bowl, rice on the bottom, then a little salad (very little), some noodles which were good, and the chicken and sauces on top. For $10, I think I'd like more chicken. Otherwise, I was pretty satisfied.

Fast, hearty, and yummy Korean takeout. What more can you ask for? I ordered the B bop, and it legitimately only took 4 minutes from time of ordering to get my meal. I agree with some of the reviewers that the food could look better, but that's just because there is such a thick layer of meat served on top :) I also saw another review saying that they skimped out on meat and the portion was majority rice, but my experience was the opposite. I got lots of beef compared to my rice. The food was tasty, and very convenient if you are in a time crunch. Will go again if I'm in the area!

I have been coming to this place multiple times and all their yummy Bops varieties are delicious. A very simple but delicious Korean BBQ meal, all in a cute small/medium size bowl. A bowl of rich and delicious flavors where you can choose from beef, pork or chicken... You should definitely try their place at least once. The Korean woman who gave me my order also gave me a high compliment of my Northface jacket... Super sweet of her. ~^^ Anyhow try this place out, plus the prices here are very reasonable.

The food is great. Not what you would expect from a gas station. It's layered with rice, glass noodles, salad and meat on top. The sauce they use on the top of the meats is awesome! You can choose a spicy level of 1-10 and I love spicy in all of my foods so I typically get a 9 or 10. It can get busy at times. The food is only available during the week. Saves me time when I need to get lunch and gas!!

*FOOD POISONING!* I will be reporting them to the department of health in the morning. Came about 1 pm for lunch after seeing a glowing review on Evening Magazine. Simple menu. Meat plus rice plus salad. Or just noodles with salad and sweet soy. Or dumplings. I took pictures and was going to post the menu but I don't recommend you go here so you don't even need to look at that. First and foremost, they made the two bowls mine was the spicy pork and my coworker was just noodles and put in mayonnaise sauce on top without it being on the menu. Neither one of us can eat that. I had to ask for her to redo the bowls, which she did very quickly obviously the meat was already cooked noodles were already cooked the rice was already cooked and the salad was shredded iceberg lettuce. The noodles which were stated to be sweet potato noodles tasted like rice thread noodles with absolutely no flavoring. My spicy pork was tasting pretty good, I moved the noodles to the side and finish the meat with the rice and the iceberg. Around 6 PM as I was driving home on the 520 bridge things started to go very very wrong. My stomach had swollen as if I eaten a personal watermelon whole, my bowels were grumbling and I generally had a cold sweat going knowing that I had been poisoned. Thank goodness I made it home before the onslaught... TBH I've eaten some sketchy stuff in my life, and had some indigestion, green feeling, nausea, whatnot. Chalk it up to adventurous eating. This was a violent episode that I will probably never be able to eat this particular dish ever again. Darn. (Think your college Jäegermeister/Fireball blackout disaster). No. Don't. I should have known, because it wasn't hot. Tepid. :( PS: coworker is fine so it was the pork.

Such a unique little operation. This little restaurant is located inside of a convenience store at a gas station. So weird! But cool and different which I always like. The korean woman who served us was very nice and joyful. She prepared our food quickly and clearly efficiently. There is a cute screen by the order counter that says how great their bowls are and how healthy... super cute. We sat outside and ate at the little bistro tables provided. Our view was the gas pumps. Haha. All 3 of us really enjoyed our bowls. Having japchae noodles with rice was a bit odd to me at first, but it really worked! The bowl doesn't look that huge but trust me, there is a lot of food in that thing. Well worth the price. I would and probably will happily return.

This place is a Hidden Gem. If you haven't had it before, you're missing out. O'BOP is a Korean-Style meal in a bowl, served with: Korean Bulgogi Marinated Meat ( chicken , pork , beef ), veggies, steamed rice, clear noodles. Light, Savory, and yummy to-go lunch. *they also have a vegetarian option* O'BOP has always been my friends and I's favorite place to go to for lunch. I usually get 1) B-Bop (marinated pork) or 2) Chi Bop (chicken) and it is SOOO DELICIOUS. the meat is seasoned so well, the noodles & rice cooked to perfection, and lastly the mystery sauces create this master piece! You can also adjust the level of spiciness so it's very convenient for those who love spicy & those who don't. I always crave O' BOP, give it a try & you'll fall in love. AND Price is very cheap for the generous portion & amazing taste! I 100% recommend this place.

O'Bop is definitely a hidden gem. My family and I have tried the Po Bop, Chi Bop, and B Bop, all at different spice levels, and each one was so delicious!! It's pretty affordable (around $10 +tax for one bowl), the portions are just right, and the owners and workers are super nice. Each bowl usually comes with white rice, sweet potato noodles, lettuce, your choice of meat or tofu/veggies, and their sauces. The sauces are savory, sweet, and spicy depending on the spice level you choose. The noodles are so soft and chewy, and when you mix everything altogether it's super creamy and tasty. You can also pay extra for extra meat too which is very tempting lol. Just so so good!! Best place for a quick lunch or takeout dinner nights. I think about going to get some every week lol. Go try it!!

Nothing beats good Korean food at a gas station. The bowls are on the pricier side but it's worth every penny. I always get the beef bowl with extra meat and request loads of sauce! Their sauces are the best! I swear, I could drink them straight up. As long as I am in Bellevue, I will continue coming here weekly.

Sort of weird it's in a gas station but the service was good and quick. The food was fresh and spicy! You can pick spice level from 1 to 10, I picked a 4. My girlfriend got an 8! Felt a little pricey for what you get but my first bite was really good...I just didn't feel super amazing afterwards and that's my own fault, so if I could give 3.5 I would.

Located in a mini mart at a Shell gas station, the front wall signage which resembles a red food truck always catches my eye. Today I got a chance to give this a try and I am glad I did! I ordered the combo beef & pork. Came with some japchae, fresh veggies/salad on a bed of hot steamed white rice. You can choose spiciness level from 1 to 10, and me being a spicy food lover, ordered a 10. It was legit spicy! Yummy! The combo of meat, japchae, lettuce and rice, all mixed together with the delicious spicy sauces, satisfied my taste buds and filled my hungry tummy. Size was just right, small/medium compared to a typical meal, but plenty enough for me. Possibly could feed me 1.5-2 times (note: I am small and short) but I was super hungry & was sitting outside in the cold so I finished it. It is also very reasonably priced for this portion. To top it off, the lady serving the food was so very nice and sweet! She started off the conversation while packing the food, saying how cold it is today (around 45F right now). When she asked if I wanted a bag, I said no because I was going to sit outside and eat right away (they offered a couple of small tables and chairs outside the Shell mini mart). She repeated "outside?!" a couple of times in disbelief and "I'm so sorry" a few times as well. Later on she also offered me hot water. The delicious bowl of steamy food, the hot water, and her very friendly service definitely warmed me up. Give this place a try!

This is a super weird location (since its in a gas station), but it was actually quite good for a take out korean bop place! I would have the say, the balance of sweet and spicy was quite good. The noodles were delicious and the blend of sauces were on point. I got an 8 on the spicy out of 10 and it was not spicy whatsoever. Its a decent place to checkout if you're in the area and want something quick. You also get a $1 discount if you buy gas (but the gas here is quite expensive usually).

Surprisingly delicious! I don't really have anything against gas station food as I've had bomb food from them before like Carmelo's Tacos in Cap Hill or tacos in a Lynnwood gas station. First time having Korean food at a gas station though, and it was a good choice. I had the B Bop with a side of gyozas (comes with 3) and they were really good. The B Bop had a layer of sauce that was sweet and molded all the flavors of all the ingredients so well. It was a really great combination of flavors and hit me by surprise with how delicious it was. Only gripe was I should have gotten it spicy because I love a good kick, but I was sharing with my gf and she didn't want it. I inhaled this thing so quick though and wish I ordered one for myself!

Coming here was a complete accident today and I'm glad it happened. Was getting gas here and Didn't realize there was a Korean restaurant here so wanted to check it out. First you have to go inside the shell store to order (don't let the truck in the front of the store fool you). You also order at the same place you pay for gas (I know, it's confusing). Do you know what else is confusing? The people making dish aren't Korean! -based on all of that, I was already doubtful...But still decided to give a try any ways. I got the sweet potatoes noodle dish with spicy level #8 (10 is the spiciest). While waiting for my food, I caught a glimpse of the lady making my bowl (it was huge), she was putting a bunch of this sauces on top of noodle and then gave me it with a cap. When I saw it, I had to do a double take and make sure I ordered the right thing, where is the rice? Where is the salad? I thought there's just suppose to be sweet soy sauce, what's with the other sauces?? I was going to ask, but they seem busy, so I was like whatever and left. Once I was ready, I opened it, I started mixing it and realized that the rice and salad was at the bottom and the other sauces we're my level 8 spicy. So after mixing everything, I finally taste it and OMG, it was like what the hell! I did not expect that everything was so balanced. The spicy sauces did not overpower the soy sauce, and everything tasted so well together. The rice can be a hit or miss with people, some people might say it's dry, but with the sauce, it was fine. Overall good food, big portion and great price

This place is soooo good, I came here on my lunch one day and finished it in about 10 minutes, it was that good. I started to put my coworkers on and now they love it too! I get the Po Bop bowl level 7 spicy and it is absolutely PERFECT 10/10 recommend this place for a quick, easy, cheap and delicious lunch!

My friend and I stopped by for lunch. We aren't the kinds of guys to be sketched out by gas station Korean food. I had the combo bowl with beef and pork. 10/10 spicy was like a standard 4/5 spicy at an average Asian restaurant. The quality wasn't amazing but there was lots of sauce as well as a ton of both rice and sweet potato noodles. There was a sign that you could ask for extra rice and noodles for free! I like their spirit, but honestly the portion was already giant. The price point is good. There is some outdoor seating, but none indoor. If you're more interested in quantity and value but also don't want basement-level quality, then this is a good choice.

WORSE place ever !! My husband placed a order to go. He went in to pick it up and this girl have a horrible attitude and not only was she rude but she also spit in our food. So when my husband heard that she spit, he didn't even think about it and rush out. Think before you order from this awful place!!!!

REAL TALK. o-bop is my favorite food in bellevue. any time i'm in the area i stop by here, i love the meat, i love the clear noodles (i always want more) and i even enjoy the rice with the rest of the food even though i normally don't care about rice but everything else is so good it's a great combo. i always get the chicken and pork , extra meat, level 7 spicy. also the people who work there are very kind , always so polite and make me smile! being able to pick up delicious korean bbq AND fill up my car at the same time is awesome. i wish i lived closer, i would eat here every day and become the fattest person and die the happiest person. my only complaint is they aren't open on the weekend but i won't take a star off cuz they are too good for that. i love o bop

Absolute best takeout value around and so delicious! Noodles, rice, lettuce, meat, and sauce! So good. Choose your spice level 1-10. Have some potstickers. Don't let the gas station venue deter you!

the lady warned me. 10 in spice level is too much! habanero she said as she squeezed it top of my tofu bop. turned out, mayo had a purpose since dairy cuts spice, but i dont do dairy as its from mother cows who was raped over and over by a men with gloves with a sperm from mae cows that was also raped...with baby cows that she gave birth and stolen moment baby cow was born to steal their millk and eat the baby, aka: veal. going back to spice 10. its hella hot. i added extra veggies and rice to finish both bowls in 12 hours. its the best gas station grub in eastside. ***the level 10 spice did peel upper level of my mouth roof a day later, be warned and dare if you dare

I only would've known about this place from Yelp, fortunately. O'BOP is located in a Shell station at the intersection of 148th and Main in Bellevue. I was surprised to learn that it was in a gas station because, really, who would've known there was a Korean joint inside? Just like at a convenience store of a gas station, you order your O'BOP bowl at the counter. There is plenty of signage, indicating what O'BOP is, menu items, prices, etc... You can even ask for a free sample, which we did, and were surprised to find that the free sample is actually a small bowl with the rice, salad and noodles, in addition to the protein you're requesting of getting a sample of. I thought they would just give me a sample of the meat, but was pleasantly surprised to learn that they provide a mini version of the bowl. It's a great incentive to get people to try one of the bowls, and after doing so, we knew we one for ourselves. I got mine with the Pork, or the Po Bop. It comes with white rice, salad and sweet potato noodles, in addition to the three sauces they use. You also customize your spice preference, and it's from 1 to 10, 10 being the spiciest. I tried 8 and must say that it could've been spicier. If you're a spice fan then knock it up a notch or two! But the bowl itself was solid. The pork was juicy, tender and flavorful and loved the spicy sauce on it, even if it wasn't as spicy as I would've preferred. Of the sides - I really liked the sweet potato noodles, so would ask that they give me that instead of the rice. With that said, there was way too much rice in the bowl, which I didn't finish. And in comparison, there was not nearly enough salad in the bowl. But overall, this is a hidden gem in the Lake Hills neighborhood IN A GAS STATION! Who woulda known? Plus, if you fuel up of $10 or more for gas, all of the bowls are a dollar off. But it's cool if you don't need gas anyway because the bowls are all less than 10 bucks! I think the most expensive is the Beef Bulgogi for only $7.99! For casual, quick Korean BBQ on the go, O'BOP is worth trying.

We've had Beef O'BOP and Pork O'BOP here and they were both delicious. You don't see the combination of glass noodles, meat, rice, vegetables and some secret sauce in just any food place. The place is inside the gas station's convenience store, so don't look for it in the plaza across the street like what I was about to do until I called. Downsides - their customer service was not really pleasant to talk to, and the food takes a long time to make.

yoooooooO'BOP, this is something you must experience if you're into KBBQ: Ever wanted KBBQ but never wanted to cook it on your own, wait for it, or pay that $$$ price? OBOP can fix that and make your life a little easier: - OBOP is located inside a Shell's Gas Station; Red building merged with Shells - They offer KBBQ meats as well as vegetarian options which was really surprising. - For under $10, you're getting a crazy amount of food in your bowl - The bowl will consist of; rice, your choice of meat(s), a salad, and noodles. - They offer a spicy level from 1-10 for y'all that like heat on your meat (or veggies/tofu) - I ordered the combo which comes with two meats and I chose beef and pork - Beef was well done and the pork was super flavorful. I'm a sucker for the sauce they top the bowl with, really compliments the meat and dish as a whole. Overall the meat was well marinated. Definitely stop in and grab some, they even offer a discount if you're getting gas so might as well knock two birds with stone! Yours truly, Seb Eats.

I really, really suck for judging this place because it was at a gas station. Lesson learned --never judge a book by it's cover! I was so skeptical but decided to try it out one day and was pleasantly surprised! Delicious and affordable, fast and convenient. I ordered the bulgolgi bowl (b bop) and found that the portions are big and the meat and noodles are flavorful. It was both savory and sweet in the best way. Can def see myself being a regular here!

I literally ate this food so fast I didn't take photos. It was beyond delicious. I will try anything that is remotely Korean and this place did not disappoint. I had it delivered so had no clue it was in a petrol station. But that doesn't not dissuade me. I think all the best Korean I have had in the states is from a petrol station. Portion was large. Got the pork and beef bowl. Only got a spice level 2 and it had no spice. Next time I am being more adventurous. Can't wait to make it to their brick and mortar and try some different combinations!

this is it. this is what you've been waiting for. the hole-in-the-wallcheap authentic delicious place. literally part of a gas station, but people will flock here during dinner time just to get the food. the food is delicious, fast, and affordable. and one Bop is enough to feed two people. my boyfriend and i shared the beef bowl and a side of mandoo, and we were satisfyingly stuffed. for under $10!! it's meat, lettuce, japchae (glass noodles), and sauce. oh also, be mindful of the sauce-- there's a 1-10 spiciness scale, and i chose 7. i drank 1.5 glasses of water and had to blow my nose a couple times, and my boyfriend who loves spicy food said the spice was great. obvs, i love korean food (check out my last name). my bf gets koreaned-out pretty easily, and he was pretty vocal about how he liked this meal. he also really liked the mandoo, even though it was steamed instead of fried, how we usually like it honestly, it's sort of hard to find good korean food around this part of town, for some reason. a lot of it's mediocre or americanized and overpriced. this isn't that traditional, but it really does korean food justice. it kept the korean taste and personality and didn't sacrifice it for an american tongue. the owners are so friendly and efficient. they also recognize regulars, which also means there ARE regulars. and it also looks like the regulars even recognized each other lol. supporting a small korean restaurant made me feel so good. i'm so so happy we stopped here after going to walmart and then coincidentally needing gas lol. i'll definitely be back or order online!! i hope they get a food truck and visit bellevue square

The only strange thing about this place is that it's inside an existing Shell Gas Station. If you are looking for inexpensive, good Korean BBQ, this is the place. Menu is pretty straight forward. A bowl with rice, lettuce, noodles and meat. You choose the meat, you choose the spice level. Glad I went with just 2 stars out of 10. 10 would be crazy hot. I tried it for lunch, but would certainly stop in again for dinner. No place to eat inside, just a couple of tables outside with a terrific view of the gas pumps. So bring it home, or to the park. Or eat in your car. Your car, not my car.

So we are in the midst of a global realization... Our governor has just mandated that we all wear masks. With that said, I used to go to this place all the time, their food is so good. I went in yesterday afternoon and the lady that took my order kept pulling her mask down away from her nose thinking that she could hear me better? Then she told the lady in the back that was sitting at the break table that she had an order. She comes out with her mask around her neck, not OK. She then proceeds to try to make my food, and I tell her you need to wear your mask. She pulls the mask over her nose, she's wearing a neck mask. I then told her that I didn't want any rice in my bowl and she slides the mask down again to answer me. By this time I'm disgusted. She proceeds to make my bowl, mask on partly but not really... I take it, and outside it goes in the trash. I don't know how I can express how serious this is. I am the head chef at a memory care facility and I can promise you that this is real. I have lost so many of my resident/friends due to this illness... Please, please mask up and be safe! You may not like to wear your cute little cloth masks, then you would hate to be on a ventilator or in my kitchen with an N 95 mask complete with respirator, face shield and hazmat suit. Please mask up!
