The space is very open and has plenty of seating. There is a kiosk at the front where you can browse the menu and enter in your order. When your order is ready, your order number will be called and you can get it at the counter. FOOD: ~Mul Nengmyun (3.5/5): flavor was just okay. Had a good amount of veggies and a hefty portion of noodles. ~Yukgaejang Kalguksu (4/5): Flavorful broth (nice and spicy) and the noodles had a great texture ~Spicy pork dolsot bibimbap (5/5): This dish hit the spot for me. It was piping hot and made the nice layer of crispy rice at the bottom. The pork was flavorful. ~Sides: loved all the sides from the veggies, fish cake, kimchi, and soup Thoroughly enjoyed majority of the food here and will likely return if I'm craving basic Korean food.

I do really like the online menu, where you can see big clear pictures of each dish. Inside the restaurant they do have small paper copies of the menu (without pictures) that you can use to choose your order before entering it on the kiosk. Taste of Korea is strictly self-service. You place your order on the electronic kiosk inside the front door. You also pick up your order from the counter and bus your table as well. Water is self-service too, which is good. I ordered the B5. Sizzling Stone Pot Bibimap. It was pretty good and I especially liked the banchan that came with it. But as I mentioned, the portion size was small (and the amount of beef skimpy), though you do have the option of adding extra ingredients for a price. Some pieces of the meat did have an off-flavor. There was a cup of broth (not miso) that came with the bibimap but it had no flavor. It was like drinking warm water. JP ordered the C6. Korean Style Pork Belly. The pork belly was very good and this dish also came with banchan and broth. We also ordered the Spicy Baby Octopus. It wasn't super spicy but it had a very delicious sauce. But probably more onion than octopus. We also ordered the Chicken Bulgogi, which was excellent. However, these two dishes only came with rice, and not banchan. I doubt we will come back because of the price vs. quantity ratio.

I ordered a beer and the kim chi fried rice which was pretty good. Once I started talking to the other patrons at the bar they were pretty friendly and interesting people.

I wish they had the gimbap on the menu for me to order normally because I really liked the piece that one of the owners gave me to try. Ashley was awesome and I enjoyed talking to her and the other bar patrons. Will be back next time I'm in the state.

It's clearly a local favorite--many Korean patrons were enjoying their meals, which is always a good sign. I went with two of the more popular dishes: the black bean noodles (jajangmyeon) and the spicy seafood noodle soup (jjamppong). Both were flavorful and satisfying. The broth in the seafood noodles was rich and bold, and the black bean sauce had that deep, savory kick I was hoping for. Service is minimal but efficient, and the vibe is casual and welcoming. Great spot for a quick, tasty meal that feels authentically Korean (American).

What feels like a hidden gem serves some of the best Korean cooking I've tasted. The bossam was incredibly aromatic and came with a massive portion of fresh kimchi that was cut tableside, making for a fun dining experience. Together, it was more than enough to satisfy two hungry diners. The banchan selection was equally impressive and paired beautifully with the meal. The restaurant itself is cozy, clean, and welcoming, while the service felt warm, genuine, and comforting, almost like dining in someone's home. My only suggestion would be to offer a more fermented kimchi option as a side dish. All of the kimchi we tried was very fresh, and I personally would have loved a tangier, more developed flavor. Overall, this is an easy 10 out of 10. I would absolutely recommend it and will definitely be back.

The menu was extensive, filled with lots of homey options that I don't usually see in other restaurants. After ordering, we were served six different banchans, all of which were incredibly homey -- light and not too savory. My favorites were the acorn jelly (which was mixed with salted seaweed and sesame seeds) and the white kimchi. Honestly, all six were really solid. AL TANG - 19.99 Super savory with lots of "sea sweetness" and umami, this stew was rich and piping hot upon arrival. I've never had al tang before, but have heard great things about it. Unfortunately, I didn't love the texture of fish roe (kind of reminded me of the texture of cooked chicken lungs). By the end of the stew, I thought it was too salty, so I didn't end up finishing it. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but I probably won't get it again. My friend got the mackerel which he loved. I'll look forward to other items on the menu next time.

This is regarding my Uber Eats order. I ordered bibimbap, galbi deopbap and Korean fried chicken…read morewings. Bibimbap was very average, but I had major issues with the other two. Galbi deopbap- it was mostly onion with slivers of meat that had a lot of fat. Meat weren't the usual La Galbi cut either- it looked like they were just leftover trimmings of short rib! Very mediocre taste also. I mean compare my photo to what's displayed on Uber Eats menu. KFC- biggest issue. Wings came naked WITH KETCHUP packets... they were bland and not even really that crispy! So I called the restaurant and then asked to please fix this, at least refund for the wings. They go on to say "well you should have chosen the sauce because some people want them naked." Well guess what, there's no option to "choose" sauce on Uber Eats. The lady confirms it and says they still can't refund but I can come to the restaurant to pick up a new order. I mean I'm not going to leave dinner table to pick up this order that THEY messed up and waste an hour. I asked if I can talk to her boss and she says she's not here. The lady agrees they messed up but still refused to fix it. Not sure what to say. I understand sometimes people have bad days and food quality may vary but it's pretty upsetting they straight up refuse to fix their issue. First time ordering here but very disappointed, not only because of the food but the because the way they handled the issue- clearly they don't care. Will not be ordering again.
