Wow, what couldn't be better. I had the Bibimbap, and it had lettuce in it and all the vegetables were precooked. No kochujang sauce tor the dish, which is why you get this dish. Pretty flavorless. My son got the "Korean fried chicken". They just used all Purpose flour as a breading rather than Potato or corn starch. All in all it is NOT Korean. Secondly the food was not good. read more

The fried chicken was delicious! We loved getting the large mix (group of 4) and getting to choose 3 different flavors (we got the garlic soy, kbbq and yangnyeom). The yangnyeom was sweet and spicy and the garlic soy was savory sweet. We loved having that variety. The mixture of sizes was a nice surprise as well, with some of the drumsticks being the length of my face. We recommend getting a side as well (if you're a group of 4) since we were still a bit hungry (chicken was pretty filling for the most part). We appreciated the gloves available to eat since it could be messy! It is kinda small so most that could be seated comfortably would be maybe about 10 ish people. It's easy access from the mall parking lot so it was a nice, short walk. read more

OH MY GOSH. THE FRIED CHICKEN. My husband got the drumstick combo and I regretted that I didn't. (He did share though!). You could hear the crunch of that fried chicken from across the room. My Bibimbap was good, loved all the veggies but it needed a sauce. I got it with the garlic soy chicken and while it was good, I'd get the spicy chicken next time for more flavor. But bypass all of that and get the fried chicken drumstick meal. Amazing fries. AND THE DONUT. to die for!! I wanna go back tomorrow! read more

My friend recommended that we share the Seoul Sampler - and it was a great choice. There was plenty of food for the both of us to share. I lovveddd the Bulgogi fries. It was my first time there so I would definitely go back and try some of the other menu options. We went at 9pm on a weekend so it was empty beside us which was totally fine - the space itself is a little small but super clean. The guy that helped us was super nice and helpful. And our food came out fast! It felt a little pricey - but I knew the pricing before going in. read more

Deliciously crispy fried chicken! The Korean BBQ sauce was a little sweet, a tiny bit spicy, and very flavorful. I wished the chicken had more sauce. The drumsticks were ginormous and so the ratio of sauce to meat was not sufficient. The wings were perfect. The pickled radish were a great side. The restaurant is small and it only sits 10 comfortably, so for large groups so take it to go. We'll be back to try other sauces! read more

Friendly staff, helpful in recommendations. The fried chicken is super crispy, with good flavor. Soy garlic is a bit thick then some other variations of islander sauce and yangyeom has great flavor, spicy too. The slaw is sweet and good balance of umami. The best part tho, the best part is the Kimchi. Just as good, if not better than the Korean markets in Las Vegas! All in all, tasty food and great place! read more

I got the boneless fried chicken and honestly it wasn't the greatest. Whatever batter was on it kinda fell apart and was a little soggy. The flavor of the sauce I got was also a little bland. The fries were pretty good though. I also tried their japchae which was not my favorite and had more bell peppers than noodles. The service wasn't the best either as the woman at the counter was eating and on her phone while packing our food. All in all it wasn't the worst but definitely not worth the 28 bucks. If you're looking for a good Korean fried chicken spot in the area, Chicken in the Kitchen in Provo is a much better alternative. read more

The two works at the cash register seemed to care more about talking to each other than the customers. Especially because we shared it was our first visit and asked for recommendations. They were vague and not super helpful but that's okay. The unlimited salad bar was a little underwhelming. Some of the toppings seemed not very fresh and like they had been sitting out for a few hours. I also wish they had spinach as a lettuce option. I also wish they had hard boiled eggs, ham/chicken, bacon, etc. it would be more worth the price. I don't I would get this again unless they added some better items. The small plate is not worth $10. The garlic knots were nice and cheesy. They were very fresh and a nice starter. We both wished they had more seasoning/garlic. It tasted more like just the butter and cheese. If I order garlic knots, I want and expect, a lot of garlic. The chicken bacon pizza we ordered was nice and fresh. It didn't have a lot of cheese though and the ranch (which was the sauce) needed some more flavor. It had decent flavor overall, but with more cheese and seasonings, it would be better. The crust/pizza bread itself was delicious! I would definitely come back and the pepperoni pizza to give them a second chance!

Those issues have merit. So much of a diner's experience comes down to the impact of management. Lucy's would be better off if it were take-out only. The 30 mins I was there I didn't see one employee tend to a table or clean, anything. They had time to yak and come out to get re-fills at the fountain. The last few times I've ordered, the girl at the register is minimally capable and it affects the experience. Why don't I just get it to go? Because real pizza eaters understand the experience is not the same once the pizza hits the box. The pizza consistency is linear. Good, not great. Thin, floppy the larger the size. The small salad was $4+. Not worth the value. The cleanliness is bothersome. It's happening to most businesses. Employees don't know how to clean and they don't want to. Managers don't want to manage...that. It could change in a day if the manager wanted, or cared.

GET THIS, one of the best things of the night! When you do get it, make sure you get bites of the chopped veggie mixture that's buried under all the fried goodness, thank me later. Main course, we got the Parillada de Buenos Aires, this is where the issues start, our waiter said we were able to sub out a couple of the items on platter as tripe and sweetbreads (the glands of a veal if you weren't aware) are not things we enjoy. So we swapped them out for a chicken milenesa and a grilled chicken breast. It also came with 1 each of the sides that were pretty basic, and honestly lacked flavor in comparison (rice, potato salad, house salad, mashed potatoes and roasted veggies). Then the meats it comes with, a half chicken, a 12 oz skirt steak, 4 short ribs, some other grilled cut of meat (menu doesn't specify what kind) and a variety of sausages. The waiter, through super nice, totally messed up the substitutions. He brought them out but from the time ordered to the time we ate was about an hour, and for the correct food to come out took even longer. The food itself was pretty good, meats had great flavor and the milenesa when it came out was hot and juicy. The meats didn't need any dipping sauce because they were that well seasoned. Dessert we had the lemon "cheesecake" which was just a lemon cake with a cream cheese type frosting, not at all what you think of with a cheesecake.

The Kim Chee fried rice is my favorite side. And the sesame balls are another favorite that we must always order.

Our whole family love the foods so much that we need to order from them Everytime we stop for a night at Provo . It's a family owned restaurant. At the Walmart plaza . Doesn't look fancy from outside . But clean and smell good inside . Looks like they been in local for a long time ! The owner is super nice . Great service Everytime . Foods usually ready in 10 mins . I only order rice bowl because we can sit down to eat ( traveling with a puppy) I am sure their BBQ and kimchi soup will be as delicious ! If you like Korean food. That's the place to go !

For very sour old kimchi, adding a little bit of sugar is practiced but not to this level. I appreciated the owner who listened to my complaints. She told me it is tailored to locals who prefer the sweeter flavor. But for me, it lost the good authentic flavor.

Update: visited a second time and the atmosphere is exactly the same. The ambience is "we shoved a…read morefood truck into a building"...they even still have you ordering on an IPad and no one greets you and there's no condiments or napkins anywhere. After paying $60 for some chicken strips and fries we were handed our food in to go containers and I actually found myself asking the girl "is it okay if we eat in here?" Because it is NOT a welcoming environment. I feel bad for the man who has put his heart and soul in these recipes because the restaurant experience itself highly takes away from them. I would have preferred to be eating out of a food truck honestly. For $10 I can go to Oliver's in Pleasant Grove and get beef tallow fried chicken and fries plus a decent sized drink. At Chicken Boy three chicken tenders by themselves cost $13 then it's extra for fries and a small drink. It's crazy pricey. Initial review: This place has the potential to be very good, it just feels like it was opened by people who don't have a lot of restaurant experience. Not a bad thing! Just temper your expectations when you first go in. The owner says they are still moving in decor and such so I'm sure the place will have a more welcoming vibe soon. As of right now it's a little odd inside. It doesn't feel inviting or like a place that wants you to stay and eat. There are no condiments on the tables or napkins and there's only one trash can that I could see. They even gave us the food in a to-go container with no other option. You place your order on a screen even though there is a young man just standing at the front counter when you get there. For a place with only one thing on the menu (that you can order in a couple different ways) you'd think a human could be trusted to take the order. It was off putting. Then you have to trek all the way to the back of the restaurant where the very nice owner will pour your drink from the fountain and give it to you. But then you have to go all the way back to the front to wait for your food. Like I said: clunky. Now the food: the owner says it's his recipe and I commend him because it is well done. It could use a little seasoning in the batter but it's very crispy and the pieces of chicken are large and juicy. It works as a perfect vessel for sauce. The sauces we ordered were fairly standard. Honey mustard was heavy on the mayo, bbq sauce was typical, but the spicy maple sauce had my husband wanting to go back for more. He loved that. The cole slaw was...eh...not good. The meal cost us $17.00 but it was enough chicken for the two of us to enjoy. All in all, I am happy to see a gluten free chicken place and I hope it does well! I will say that my husband and I will only come back again when I am in the mood to make GF waffles at home because this chicken would be AMAZING as chicken and waffles. But that may be the southerners in us. It would also be great served with a side of GF macaroni and cheese or potato salad. Maybe if the owner reads this he can take it into consideration for future menu iterations.
