Back when I had the chance to study in the U.S., Korean grocery stores--outside of places like Los Angeles--were pretty limited and small. So the kind of Korean food we had access to was often a bit "Americanized": doenjang stew made with ingredients like button mushrooms, bean sprouts, American-style tofu, zucchini, and sometimes even mixed with miso to soften the smell and make it more familiar to locals. This place reminds me exactly of that era. It's a simple, cafeteria-style spot where you can sit down, eat comfortably, and not worry about tipping or anything complicated. I studied in the Pacific Northwest, but now that I find myself coming to New York frequently for business, this is definitely one of those places I feel like stopping by every now and then. If I remember correctly, it's still run by the same owner (an older Korean lady), which makes it even more special. Personally, I tend to prefer squid stir-fry or bulgogi over pork dishes--maybe not the most typical Korean guy preference--but the spicy pork here is honestly outstanding. If you're visiting or on a business trip, instead of paying premium prices for Korean food that isn't even fine dining, I'd recommend places like this--similar to how Korean students used to go to Gam Mee Ok or the Chinese restaurants in Flushing. For just a couple of dollars more than a Taco Bell combo, you can have a comforting Korean meal that really helps you recover from travel fatigue. Think of this place as New York's version of "Kimbap Heaven"--simple, satisfying, and worth coming back to.

It will cost you starting from $16 before tax. I ordered chicken japchae, and total was $19.57, getting only 1 small kimchi side dish. You want more side dish, gochujang? That'll be extra charge. I think the korean food is a bit too expensive for this setting. Taste? Other food was pretty good, but im not a big fan of my japchae.

I asked for extra white sauce bc im a fat b!tch and omg. portions are amazing and prices are affordable. Im sure there are more places, but here in LA the only thing i have tried that is similar is halal guys and this place literally blows them out the water and into outer space, far far far far away bc halal guys sucks compared to this next time I come to New York, I will definitely be coming here again, i would sell my organs to eat here. love yall

Meal came out nice and hot. Bulgogi was very well marinated and flavorful. Didn't taste much garlic for the shrimp.

I got a Custom Bowl bc I wanted to try their Bulgogi Beef protein while also adding Tofu, since we can choose up to 2 proteins. I enjoyed my bowl a lot for the most part! I liked the crunchy kimchi texture with the softer beef bite. One thing I didn't love was that my bowl got quite soggy from all the sauce and toppings mixed together. While it was still tasty, it was a bit meh, so my rec would be to be mindful of the sauce and toppings additions. Minimal seating with a full counter of utensils and a water dispenser. No restroom. Would return for a fast casual Korean bowl!

The chicken sandwich is shatteringly crispy as the name implies. It kind of reminds me of an elevated KFC sandwich (specifically the KFCs in Asia). The buns are nice and soft, veggies are included and there's a delicious "secret" mayonnaise. If you get the combo, you have an abundant choice of sides, including 6-piece nuggets! When I saw they had an entire fried chicken on the menu as well, I knew I had to come back to try it. I brought it to a small Thanksgiving gathering and it was a hit! The bird was picked clean. The prices here are also really good and the staff are very nice. The chicken sandwich is $7 (or $12 for a combo) and the friend whole chicken was only $15! As a bonus, there's a game you can play to win a random prize.

We also got chicken thighs and leg combo which were decent, including mash potato, house sauce, and a drink. We enjoyed dining in at the few bar seating. Also, this is the only place with pumpkin cakes! Very chinese. Crispy but not much pumpkin flavor.

It takes maybe 20 mins from when you place your order, but the staff is really nice despite it getting pretty packed. I'd come back for sure, because it also seems like a chill place to watch sports other than a bar.

This was the second time we visited a Rokstar location; the first visit was to the Bushwick location inside a supermarket. We opted for an order of 10 half drumettes and flats with honey butter seasoning, which evenly coated each piece. The crunch on these chicken pieces are almost unreal, much crunchier than their American counterparts but at the same time also less greasy. We didn't want to only eat fried food, so we also ordered Korean BBQ over rice, which turned out to the another highlight of this meal. The bowl was topped with thicker slices of beef that were juicy and flavorful but not too heavy on the BBQ sauce. It was a well-balanced and well-executed rice bowl. The space was on the small side but was well kept and clean. The service was nice but can be a bit uneven as the customers at the next table were offered gloves to eat their fried chicken while we were not.
