I wasn't expecting much when I walked in, so you can imagine my disappointment when it was worse than I expecting... I wanted it to be good and it looked so trendy and fun, but the food is overwhelmingly disappointing. My wife and I ordered 5 tacos and their "famous" fries. The 5 tacos we ordered were the Asian Rib-Eye, Spicy Pulled Pork, Korean BBQ Style Chicken, the regular fried chicken, and the Nashville Style Fried Chicken... I'll break 'em down for you...
First two I wanna address...
I am getting frustrated and fed up with trendy taco places calling things Asian or Korean style by all they do is take one traditionally Asian ingredient and randomly throw it in there. The Asian Rib-Eye tasted like beef soaked in soy sauce... Is that all Asian food is? Simply adding soy sauce? Cause that's offensive... Also, what about the Korean style chicken was Korean? The sauce was the same sauce in the pulled pork, so why wasn't the pulled pork called Korean? The Korean Style Chicken was bland and definitely not Korean styled at all...
Spicy Pulled Pork
I read other reviews that complained about how spicy their food is... I do not know what other people consider spicy, but nothing was spicy to me. If you think black pepper is spicy, you probably shouldn't order spicy foods! If you think Sriracha Sauce is Spicy, you should probably stay away from spicy food! PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT SPICY FOOD IF YOU CAN'T EAT SPICY FOOD! (I'm up on my soapbox) That being said, the pulled pork meat was soft and juicy, but the flavor wasn't there and it wasn't spicy. They simply threw a red pepper paste on it and it was definitely lacking.
Fried Chicken Tacos
The regular Fried Chicken Taco wasn't anything impressive or outstanding. It was what you would expect so not disappointing but not impressive. Now the Nashville Hot Fried Chicken was interesting! Sweet and tasty, but still NOT hot! Interestingly enough, the Nashville Fried Chicken tasted more like Korean style Kkanpunggi (Korea style fried chicken). This was one my favorite, but at this point, that isn't saying much.
"Famous" Fries
I put quotes around famous cause I'm sure at one point it was nationally ranked, but that's because it's either fried or doused in sesame seed oil. Sesame seed oil is SO rich and has a brilliant and amazing flavor! BUT there is too much of a good thing! The fries are covered in sugar and some red pepper flakes (KEY WORD: SOME). There's a review on here that's angry about how spicy their fries were... please read what I said about complaining about spicy foods... Their fries aren't spicy at all! But that were delicious for the first few bites. After about 6 fries, I got nauseous and felt like I needed to eat salads for the rest of my life.
The Ketchup?
The ketchup was probably the best part of the meal. They mix in some red pepper flakes and some red pepper paste that made it yummy.
My wife told me to give them 0 stars because nothing was appetizing for her.
I think 2 stars pretty much sums it up, because we paid $34.78 for very mediocre, bland, and overexaggerated flavors. Nothing that we ate was worth the cost. It could have been better...
Also, don't call a taco Asian or Korean if it's not... It's offensive...
