    Fantastic lunch spot. We stopped by for lunch on a random let's try something new and really enjoyed this place. The service was very good. If we ran out of ban chan they were there to get us a resupply. I ordered the kimchi stew, and it came out just like I like it - spicy and piping hot. The stew had plenty of kimchi and plenty of beef. It was super good. The container of rice that it comes with was plenty. Liz went with the bulgogi, and it came out fresh on a hot skillet, well seasoned, and generous serving size. It also ce with a container of rice. The ambiance is kinda dicey, but to be honest, I was focused on eating the delicious food. I would return, and invite as many friends as I can.

    Food potions were great. My husband and I shared a beef bulgogi which came with a side of rice. We ordered an extra side of rice and split bulgogi plate. We also got banchan which was free & had a great variety! They are affiliated with Korean restaurant from NE side of town which is also excellent: I wish this restaurant much success food was fresh and delicious.

    This is an authentic and great hole in the wall type of restaurant. You can taste iconic dishes like bibimbap, bulgogi, and Korean BBQ. These dishes all offer a great introduction to the bold flavors and unique spices of Korean cuisine and Cafe Korea offer delicious food. The service is rapid and efficient. Nothing too fancy but very pleasant. Will definitely be back this is a real gem for El Paso.

    Average quality of Korean food IMO. Tho it's close to the airport, it's still not too busy. Order quick and serves quick too. I'm just visiting here and not sure about how things usually go here.. but only providing bottle water and Charged tea is going a bit too far I feel like?

    This place gave me mixed feelings. I love Korean food, so it had been on my radar since it opened up on the East side of town. We previously tried landing some, but it was packed and had a wait time. That's a good sign right? We went back and finally landed it for lunch. The location was super hot, not to mention when we ordered 2 waters we were given 2 water bottles priced at 2.99, huge red flag. I asked our server for tap and she said they had none. Pretty upsetting considering the sweltering conditions inside. She took our order and proceeded to bring us some complimentary sides like kimchi, tofu, etc in small ketchup like containers, enough for one or two tastes per side. Asked for additional kimchi and it seemed like it was such a burden on them to refill the small containers. They brought out our food quite fast, really good flavor profiles. However our waitress didn't check up on us for the next 30 mins after. Horrible service, horrible climate, alright food. Each of our plates were valued at around 20-25 usd and the portions were so small. Quite disappointing. Safe to say it's a one and done spot

    I was genuinely so impressed with all the dishes we ordered. The quality of the ingredients, the flavor, the great service - it all makes me want to go back. They also have a nice vintage Korean vibe in the restaurant, they have tv playing Kpop music and nice decorations. My favorite was the Korean bbq beef with the unlimited amount of all the side vegetables.

    The place to go in El Paso for spicy beef soup. The service is always amazing and the three little doughnut hole treats at the end always make my day. The bulgogi is a must! And so is the seafood pancake. I think I've eaten here once a month for a year now, it's that amazing.

    Our first time eating at Cafe Korea and it did not disappoint! We were attended to almost immediately and the food came out so fast and steaming. The food was delicious!! Will definitely go again!

    If you're craving Korean food in El Paso, Cafe Korea is the place to go. First of all, the service here is excellent! Our group was greeted right as we walked in, and our waitress was very friendly and brought our food out quickly. We started with the banchan, which consisted of 7 dishes with an impressive variety of flavors. I don't know the names, but my favorites were the fish cakes, cucumbers, and cold noodles. We also shared the seafood pancake appetizer, which was a bit expensive but very tasty. For the main course we ordered the bulgogi (beef), and while I did enjoy it the meat was slightly dry, and the flavor was good but not as strong as we are used to. We also ordered the subdubu, or "spicy stew containing soft tofu" with beef, which I had never tried before. It was delicious! The tofu in the stew was the softest I've ever had, and the broth itself was filling without being too heavy. I highly recommend this spot for a dinner out with friends!

    Bulgogi Grilled Beef and Beef Ribs along with Bonchan dishes, eggrolls. Everything was delicious! The meat was flavorful and tender. The waiter and waitresses are very customer focused. Bo Chan dishes have free refills. We did not leave hungry! We'll be back.

    Having been to Korea quite a few times, I can honestly say this chicken is pretty close to the…read moreauthentic Korean flavors I've experienced there. This was my first time visiting, and I'm really glad I decided to give it a try. The chicken was really good. It was crispy, juicy, and well seasoned, and I went with the sweet and savory sauce, which paired really well with the chicken. I also ordered the ramen noodles, and they have a pretty cool setup where you can use a machine to add the hot water and cook your own noodles. It was something different and made the experience a little more fun. There was a pretty good crowd inside during my visit, with quite a few people dining in. After trying the food, I can definitely understand why. The restaurant was clean, had nice decor, and there was plenty of seating. They also have a bar area with seating and a selection of adult beverages. Overall, I had a really good first experience here. The food was flavorful, the atmosphere was nice, and the place had a good energy without feeling overcrowded. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other menu options.

    First time trying this restaurant AND Korean BBQ. The wings were delicious! Crispy on the outside…read morebut tender and juicy in the inside, and they were huge wings. I asked the server to recommend a spicy sauce, and my friends wanted non-spicy, and we were able to sample the sauces so we could make a good choice, which was very helpful. The fries were crispy, and both were good, the sweet potato fries were flavorful. They had TVs showing the World Cup games, staff was friendly, restaurant was clean and had a nice chill vibe. Highly recommended!

    A coworker and I came here for a late lunch/ early dinner and I would say it was okay. I wouldn't…read morego as far as saying it's the best or the worst but just alright. The rolls here are much bigger in size than most places and it felt like it was harder to eat without it just falling apart. It was my coworkers first time trying sushi and sadly it didn't really impress him much. I also picked this place due to the reviews but it seems like the name has been changed and maybe the business owner as well because it's now called Sushi Gang. I would say my favorite thing was the Eel nigiri. The dragon roll didn't meet my expectations from other Dragon rolls I had before. The Golden California roll was better than the Dragon roll. The staff was nice but they recommended something else to try and honestly it was very good. I don't even remember what it was but it was like a rice ball. I can't say I would go back here but give it a try and see if it meets your expectations. They seem to short staffed and that could be what went wrong that day but not sure.

    I went with my family to the East Side to do some shopping for my son's Birthday. After we…read morefinished, since he wanted sushi, we looked for a place nearby in Apple Maps. When we arrived, we did not know what to expect (we even looked into the place in order to decide if we were staying or living). WHAT A SURPRISE!!!! The food (all of it) was SPECTACULAR. VERY fresh and tasty. The prices? I still cannot believe we ate so much delicious food for that amount of money. My wife wanted a Salmon Steak. They did not have the right sauce and therefore the dish was not in the menu. I asked if they could do a grilled salmon instead without the sauce. They did. My wife thinks it is probably the best salmon she had since we moved to El Paso. We are definitely going back often.
