I think there's a truck there with them most Wednesday nights... I've been waiting for a chance to try these guys. It was one of the trucks high on my want list. Tonight I swept the middle row of their menu. Spicy pork (comes with rice and kimchi), a chicken bulgogi sandwich, and three egg rolls. $24 total before tip. I LOVED the spicy pork... I threw the pork, the rice, and the kimchi altogether almost immediately. This should be the new holy trinity. The egg rolls were very good. The wrap had a nice crunch and the filling tasted great. Cooked perfectly. The chicken bulgogi sandwich... It was okay. It was really overshadowed by the other two items. The chicken was tender and well cooked. The flavors popped. The roll reminded me of a lot of banh mi rolls I've had in the past. I really enjoyed the roll... Kind of like the exterior of the egg rolls it brought a change of texture to the party after the spicy pork. The staff of this truck was amazing to deal with. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood. The flow went well from ordering to picking up. The food was well packaged. The wait wasn't long at all. I'm glad I was finally able to catch up with this crew. I'll be watching the Sook's Korean Kitchen and Ashworth Snow's Facebook pages. Maybe sweep another row of menu items. And if want a spectacular cold treat hit up Ashworth Snow for a Dreamsicle stuffed with vanilla ice cream... You can thank me later. https://www.facebook.com/Sooks-Korean-Kitchen-229258970936968/ https://m.facebook.com/ashworthsnow/

I was annoyed just waiting for the grill and the second round took forever to come and in the entire meal I was just over it. This place fails to meet the all you can eat standards. The single waitress struggles to keep up and is kind and patient but patrons pay the ultimate price for this model. The meat menu is limited. The place does not have sugar for tea, and the experience itself was just frustrating because we were a table of 4 and hungry.

We tried every side today because my in laws were visiting who havent had much Korean food and were not sure what they would like. And a little of each sauce. The black garlic was my fav but its very thick so not a great texture for everyone; not overwhelmingly garlic. The lava egg was delicious, very spicy especially with the little red pepper slices. I eat a lot of spicy food and it still gave me hiccups, but not so spicy I was sweating or tearing up. A healthy pang of spice but not a complex flavor and it disappears pretty quick from the mouth. The double dunk everyone liked very good texture good mix of sweet and spicy. The sweet butter one we got the kids was good not spicy at all but extra sticky. I liked it but preferred the double dunk. The asian bbq I really disliked but everyone else liked it; it was very strong saltiness and sweet. MiL ordered the pork ribs which were fine, a little tough but good flavor. The kids wanted fries so we added some on but they tasted a little stale and the spice mix on them wasnt popular they were barely eaten. The cucumber kimchi is just the cabbage with cucumber added! We got both and I was like oop. It was a little dry and not very strong to me. The sweet potato was disgusting nobody liked it. VERY strong salty muso flavor overpowering, very soft mushy sweet potato. We threw it out. The egg salad the kids loved and it was a good flavor, pretty crowded pleasing. LOVED the daikon perfect flavor texture etc. A nice snap just a bit sour. The mac was popular with the kids, I did not like the extra thick cheesy sauce personally. LOVED the spinach side dish what a surprise! Very refreshing and well cooked, a bit of sourness but not too much.

Very friendly. - Seaweed salad was pretty good too. The not great: - Outside of the seaweed salad, the food was not great. - The edamame was overcooked and shriveled up. - The rainbow roll came without shrimp or salmon (kind of a bummer since i was sharing with my daughter and those are the two types of fish I know she eats). - California roll was on par with what I would expect to buy at the grocery store. Overall a "meh" experience, not one I'll be repeating anytime soon.

If you're looking for authentic, flavorful ramen, Hokkaido is absolutely worth the visit. This was…read moreonly our second ramen spot, but it has officially become the standard we'll compare every other ramen restaurant against. We started with the dumplings, and they were outstanding--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. They were the perfect way to start the meal. I ordered the Spicy Beef Ramen, and all I can say is... wow. The broth was rich, bold, and full of depth without overpowering the dish. The beef was incredibly tender, practically falling apart with every bite, and every ingredient came together perfectly. My wife ordered the Miso Ramen and couldn't stop talking about how flavorful and comforting it was. Every spoonful tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere was another highlight. The restaurant has a beautiful, open layout with warm lighting, Japanese-inspired décor, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. It feels modern while still being cozy. To top it all off, the service was phenomenal. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling intrusive. Hokkaido delivered on every level--food, atmosphere, and service. We'll definitely be back, and if you're in the Ankeny area and craving ramen, this is a place you need to experience. Highly recommended.

Quality of meat is what you would expect for and all you can eat type of place. That being said there's a huge variety, including things like beef, tongue, short rib, and also a lot of different seafood options. I was very impressed by the size of the menu, also ordering food is very easy as it's done via tablet, so no waiting for your waiter to take another order. Overall, I thought it was a great deal, the food is very solid, and would highly recommend it!

At first bite I was disappointed thinking it was a little greasy not that special but... when mixed with steamed rice some kind of magic happens!

But the vegetable soup was clean and healthy and light. My son had some chicken coconut noodle soup and liked it. It was a big portion enough for 2 bowls at least maybe 3. My husband got pork belly and potato curry. He seemed very filled and satisfied. It was rich and hearty.
