“ Upon hearing the name of this establishment, I knew that they had to be serving up delicious Korean food. You cant name yourself a mukbang if the food isnt worth a mukbang. USC college students are definitely super lucky to have this within close proximity of their campus. They are reasonably priced and offer large portions. Everything I ordered was pretty flavorful too. Im not sure if theyre moving away from offering kimbap but it was not available when I went. I was also limited to some sushi rolls too. Its okay, what I really wanted was the kimchi fried rice and the rice cakes so as long as they had that available, it didnt matter to me. You can tell the cooks here really care about their presentation because each dish was plated so cleanly. I personally loved and appreciated that attention to detail. L O C A T I O N P A R K I N G Cross Streets are Vermont Ave. and W 36th Pl. Parking is shared with other popular establishments in the plaza. It got crowded as we were leaving and there were numerous cars trying to get our spot. F O O D Mukbang Plate 16.00 I selected the spicy pork as my protein with the garlic noodles and with soy garlic sauce. The spicy pork was one of the best that Ive had, and had a great spicy kick to it. I did feel like their garlic noodles were on the sweeter side, not sure if its bc I chose soy garlic but I would have thought that flavor would make the noodles more on the savory side. Still delicious though! Kimchi Pork Belly Fried Rice 18.00 You are missing out if you dont order this. Its probably one of the best kimchi fried rice that Ive ever had. Super flavorful! I couldnt stop digging into this. I wish my egg was sunny side up so I could do the egg yolk pop. Rose Ddukbokki 17.00 So creamy delicious. I love that the rose flavor gives the dish a slightly different flavor than the typical ddukbokki. It was a bit spicy for me but I couldnt stop drenching my rice cakes in that sauce. Shrimp Tempura Crunch Roll 9.00 This one was good ,but nothing special that would make it any different than if you ordered at a different spot. ”
“ The Service Ordering at the counter. Marco was taking my order. Great customer service and great recommendations. The Food Their kimchi pork belly fried rice is such a comfort food. Huge portion as well! The original spicy rice cake totally brought back my memories of street food in Korea. Not too spicy that overpowering. The Mukbang Plate is served in a cute bento box. I got to choose several varieties of food from different categories. Its nice to customize my own meal. The Parking Plaza parking lot free! When you walk in, you would hear kpop music right away. They even have projector playing music video on the wall. How fun! ”
“ This little tucked away gem was so good. Let me start with the aesthetic of how this place looked, it was super clean and looked very nice on the inside kinda like a high end restaurant vibe to it. The staff was so friendly and courteous that it made my first time ordering very easy. We bought the Bulgogi Beef Fries, Pork Belly Plate, Bulgogi Beef Gimbap, and Bulgogi Beef Plates. The Korean Sweet and Spicy Chojang sauce was super good you have to try it. Let me tell you that just by having me wait for my order made my mouth water, I mean it smelled so good I could smell the meat that I could not wait to try it, and it was definitely worth it. Everything tasted fresh and if you happen to stop by, you got to try the drinks the Sac Sac grape and orange are delicious . The only thing that my son didnt like was the sauce on the Bulgogi Fries so maybe just to be sure ask for sauces on the side depending on your taste buds. Otherwise the food was tasty, fresh, savory, and delicious. 1010 you have to try it. Will definitely come back . ”
“ Really enjoyed this spot. Huge shout out to whoevers playlist was on. The vibe definitely felt chill, like you were at you friends place. The food was fantastic. I would absolutely go for any of the loaded fries again. That was my favorite part. Definitely recommend. ”
“ A cool place to grab a bite great prices and cute atmosphere! Great for getting lunch with friends or solo ventures! Good spot to put some headphones on and get some work done! ”
“ Absolutely amazing food and service, I ordered the Chicken Rice Bowl, easily one of the best rice bowls I have had in awhile. The Chicken is tender, moist and delicious, and the rice is absolutely amazing as well. For the price too you get a good amount of food. The service is absolutely amazing and the place has a nice chill vibe with great music if you want to eat there. Definitely will be going back for more. ”
“ The food was delicious. I had the bulgogi beef with fried rice and sweet and spicy sauce. The aesthetics of the restaurant was great, and the people had a welcoming vibe. I will be coming back again. ”
