Such a nice little spot! The restaurant was spotless and had a really welcoming atmosphere. The cutest part? They have a little robot that helps deliver your food! You can order at the counter with an employee or use the self-service kiosk, which makes everything quick and easy. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the music was the perfect volume great vibe without having to shout across the table. Now for the food... SO good! The kimchi and pickled cucumbers were unbelievably fresh and full of flavor. The pho was rich, comforting, and exactly what I was craving, and the dumplings were absolutely delicious. Great food, great service, fun experience, and a robot? Say less. We'll definitely be back! read more

This is the definition of hidden gem. Outside gives ordinary store front but the inside is so cute and modern. The service it's pretty much ALL automated down to the robot that brings your food. There are a couple works that are standing near to greet you and assist if needed. The food OMGGG! Delicious!! My husband and I ordered two entrees. Beef bulgogi and orange chicken. He also ordered kimchi and we were served a cucumber dish by mistake, but it will definitely be something we order along with our entrees! It added Greek flavor and texture. The food is fresh and very flavorful, sometimes when dining at like establishments the food has a tendency to taste the same, not the case here everything had its own unique flavor. I especially enjoyed the Bulgogi because of the sauce. The orange chicken was not your typical orange chicken. I did actually taste orange zest and had a pleasant kick to it! MUST TRY!!!! read more

Ordered the beef bulgogi stir fry with a side of kimchi. The restaurant staff were very nice when I called. The flavor of the bulgogi was a good balance of sweet and savory. It was great. The only thing I would suggest to make it better is larger pieces of meat. The meat pieces were small and hard to find in the dish. Plenty of veggies! The rice was good and the kimchi was ok. read more

My daughter and her friends were in Columbia the weekend of the 4th for a soccer tournament and want to eat somewhere different. We found this place online and decided to give it a try. From the outside it looked small, but when you walk in , it had lots of tables and chairs and it was clean and spacious. The menu was good; a lot of choices. Our party got different dishes. I ended up getting the beef bulgogi bibimbap. It was really good. I wish the ingredients were hot. But then again I guess it was supposed to be like that. It was very flavorful. My daughter had the shrimp and pork simmer roll with peanut sauce appetizer. It was good as well. I wish they had more servers. We waited a little bit to order. But our server was very nice. They did have a robot that delivered the food to the tables, which was really cool. I would definitely go back to this place. Prices and the amount of food you got was reasonable. One other neat thing they had was a wall of labubu dolls. Too cute! read more

I love this place. The menu has such a variety and the kimchi is great. They also have a robot that goes to the table to deliver your food. The food comes out pretty fast. From the outside you can't tell how good it is. My husband and I lived in South Korea for a year and the beef bulgolgi bimbimbap is spot on! read more

26 PHO BOBA Korean - Beef bulgogi bimbimbap in stone bowl - Korean Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

Food: 4 Customer Service: 5 Location/ Parking: 5 Cleanliness: 5 This restaurant is situated in the heart of Lexington, SC and conveniently located on Sunset Blvd. We visited this Korean restaurant twice over the past 2 weeks, before completing a customer review. The food was good and kinda of average. We tried their chicken fried rice, and placed to go order. We felt like their prices were higher than normal, and we were surprised that they added an upcharge for takeout orders. Nov 29, 2024 In response to Jilll V message back to me. No Im not talking about DoorDash. I ordered over the phone and came in and picked up my order, they charged us a extra $1 for my own pick up order. Which is tacky business in our opinion. I have the receipt, and I dont need to compare with other restaurants. The food is OK, and we are positive we wont be back due to the owners rude reply back. Have a awesome day. read more

Tried it for the first time on Monday with my former because she wanted to try Pho. We went at 12:30pm it wasn't busy. Their menu is extensive with Korean dishes and Vietnamese dishes. I got the beef bugolgi lunch special which was $17.99. It came with banchan. I also ordered the fried pork dumplings and a brown sugar milk tea. My friend got the beef shank Pho with shrimp and an egg. She also ordered the strawberry drink. Overall the food was good. She really enjoyed the Pho. My bugolgi was good but half way through I did find a price of metal residue from their wok. They did take 10% off the check to accommodate. I will say as far as Korean eateries go it's not the best but it's okay if you want to try it. I would recommend doing the Pho here instead of the Korean dishes. read more

My husband and sons took me here for Mothers Day today. I have been eager to try this place out since it opened many months ago. Most of the food was good and the passion fruit green tea was very refreshing. My youngest son really liked his chicken teriyaki plate, but wasn't a big fan of the tofu soup that came with it. My oldest son liked his hot stone beef bulgogi bibimbap a lot and my husband liked his spicy pork bibimbap, but wanted it more spicy, so he asked for a side of chili oil and that did the trick. My tom yum seafood soup was good too. It was spicy but with just the right amount of spice thanks to the chili oil. The crystal shrimp dumplings (har gow) tasted yummy, but the mini pork soup dumplings (xiao long bao) lacked soup. They came out steaming hot, which was perfect, but once we all took a nibble out of each dumpling to taste the soup before eating the whole dumpling, there was no soup. That was the only disappointing part of our whole dining experience. Our server was a nice young lady who was attentive. The ambiance here is great for what they offer. Immediately upon entering, you can smell the delicious food. I plan to come back here and try more food! read more

We visited for the grand opening this weekend. This appears to be a Chinese run restaurant serving Korean and Vietnamese dishes. The decor and interior are very nice with comfortable booths and tables. Service was particularly slow, very few tables being served and we had to retrieve our own menus from the counter due to the long wait. With my wife being Korean born, we were definitely excited to have a new restaurant on the westside, although the food was very disappointing. The pork belly was overcooked and tough, along with the squid being improperly cooked and very chewy. While listed as typical Korean dishes, they were not served anything like normal Korean cooking. In addition, the jasmine rice was undercooked. We may give them another try in the future, although will stick to the genuine Korean food of the eastside for now. read more

I've been there three times now. First time I thought it was really good and everything was fine. The two other times I went with a friend of mine and they got our orders wrong both times, and what they consider spicy is not very spicy. It's not quite truly Korean. It's kind of a Chinese Korean mix. I am not sure what to call it. The other mitigating factor is that their prices are kind of high for the amount of food that you get. Oh, and another strange fact was that the tea tasted like perfume or cologne, I don't know what the deal was, I had my friend try it and he said the same thing. The people were very nice. The ambiance is okay and the service was pretty good except they got our stuff wrong twice. They also do not give you a whole lot of Korean Banchan to accompany your meal like most Korean restaurants. It's kind of hard to recommend this place unless you're really desperate for Korea and food on this side of town. read more

Had an absolute blast with the robot bringing out food, the food was amazing, the boba was delicious. The fried pork rice was so good, so balanced and yummy! Service is wonderful, seated immediately and was brought water right away. Highly recommend! Can't wait for the next time we get to come visit this amazing spot! read more

This restaurant does not know how any of their dishes should taste. Korean? Absolutely NOT. They used Sichuan peppers to spice the dish. Vietnamese? NO WAY. They didn't use vermicelli noodles in the dish that they claimed was vermicelli. The seasoning? OMG. The food was so bad and wrong, I returned the food and refused the take out orders. Never mind the SUPER SLOW service. Wow. I hope they figure what they want to be and what dishes they're really good at, and just stick to those. I wish them the best, but I won't return there for sure. read more

I love having pho on Lexington. We had the rare beef pho, and the soupy dumplings. All were fantastic! Anyone else complaining this isn't "authentic" needs to relax, and appreciate the good quality of food this place is serving across a spectrum. So glad they are in Lexington! read more

Second time we've been here. The first time I got pho- pretty good. My daughter got bibimbap- the beef was very ground up-almost like hamburger meat. This time we tried different dishes. Everything is cooked nicely but there is no flavor. My dish was labled spicy and I had to add siracha and ask for more spice. Serving size is good. Menu has lots of options. Good if you don't like spice. read more

We stumbled across this hole in the wall Korean Vietnamese restaurant. The servers were extremely helpful with food decisions and answered all questions. We started with the pork soupie dumplings and oh my goodness they were amazing. We also got Vietnamese spring rolls and the mango shrimp rolls. They were so fresh a delectable. The freshness was super surprising but overall satisfying. Then to our main course. I got rare steak pho double meat and let me tell you way more meat than I anticipated but it was so good!! My husband got one of the hot pots. Keep in mind we have never been to Korean or Vietnamese that he actually liked what he got. He loved it! He got the one with the fried shrimp and was silent the whole meal he loved it. He wouldn't even give me a bite. We ended the meal with a mango and peach boba tea. It was extremely fresh and delicious. All the food was very flavorful and paired perfectly with each sauce. One down side was the peanut sauce for dipping the spring rolls. It's liked flavor especially peanuts and had wayyyy too much spice. I'm use to peanut sauce being sweet not spicy. That was my only issue. We will definitely be back. I believe we're going next week and I cannot wait!!!!! read more

I had a fabulous time and experience. My first time here today and I struggled with all the things I wanted to order. I decided to try something that was neutral to tell me if it is good or great. I ordered the lunch beef bulgulu. I am sure I spelled that wrong. The salad was yummy as was the beef and the entire plate. The service was good and respectable. I will be back!!!! read more

Wasn't impressed at all. The beef bulgogi was just ok. Had vegetables in it. Which I have never had it with tons of vegetables and wish I would have read that it had vegetables. The flavor was good but the portion was too big. And very pricey. The dumplings were just ok nothing special. My husband did like the chicken yellow curry but said it wasn't spicy at all. And the boba tea had no ice so it was warm. Definitely not the best Korean place I been to. But not the worse. read more

Over all it was ok. I got the beef Hotpot. Pot was not hot enough to cook the rice or vegetables, little disappointed. The beef looked and taste like ground hamburger. Got the Toki as an appetizer that was very good. Best thing of our meal. Husband got the kimchi soup. Sweeter than spicy kind of taste like vinegar wasn't real happy. We had some shrimp rind as they sit on the table. No other sides were given. Spent $50 with tip for two meals and an appetizer. read more
