“ I stopped by after grabbing a lotto ticket at Mikes and seeing this place. I dont have much experience with these foods so I tried to find Items I thought would be similar to other foods I like. The fried chicken and sauce is awesome, its a little on the spicy side for some so ask for a bowl of rice to cut it down if you like it more mild. It was like sweet and sour chicken with a kick. We also tried the spicy pork kimbap, sort of like a classic Lees sandwich insides wrapped in rice and seaweed, also very good. The last item we tried wasnt labeled as they were just coming out of the kitchen. It was like mashed potatoes, eggs, and veggies mashed in balls, breaded, and fried. We had them with some yum yum sauce, good stuff. The items are mostly in the 612 range so I would plan to get maybe 1 item per person, some rice, and eat family style. They also have raw meats and veggies packs to cook at home. Looking forward to trying more of their menu! ”
