    Tiny grill
    Tim N.

    Came here for a friend's birthday diner. The place is really nice, clean and very well decorated. Staff made us feel very welcome as soon we open the door. No complaint there. We order like 6 different type meat and some noodle and pancake. None of the dish we ordered disappointed us. Everything is on point. It didn't take very long either. One small disappoint thing I have is that I wish the have built in grill at the table like the other location. That would be great. And our ticket was about 170$ for 7 people... it's not bad for 7 people at all. Will return for sure :)

    Loved this place!!!! We got the three meat combo to cook ourselves with the hot plate, and it was AWESOME! Our service was great, and the food was great too. We were a little skeptical because it seemed a little....crummy inside (you won't be taking your cute Instagram selfies here), but the food was what we were there for, and it didn't disappoint! We're definitely coming back

    Ordered the sizzling buttered corn. No carrots, no green onions - just corn and cheese. Meh. Update: I called the restaurant and was given my money back for this dish. So that's good business!

    This place is quaint and quite with one server; she might have also been the owner, very friendly. Food was delicious and quick to arrive to the table- I was satisfied!

    Korean BBQ

    It is a neat place close to UoM. The Korean BBQ does not seem to be a lot of food at first but it is definitely enough for a table for two. 3 kinds of meat, 3 small side dishes, cheese corns, 3 bowls of rice and egg. I definitely am going back.

    Decent Korean BBQ joint on the Highland strip, relatively new. We went for a date night dinner on a Friday night. The first thing that struck us when we walked in, it was empty in their front room and no greeter at the door. But as you walk around to their larger room further back, we found a hip looking area with tables lining the walls, some bench type seating and some regular chairs, as well as a bar. The interior was simple, not much on the walls other than soju or sake ads. For food and drink, we opted to stick with waters, but did notice they had a decent beer and drink list, and they also advertise $13 craft pitchers. We got the bibimbap with beef, and the spicy pork bulgogi. The bibimbap was underwhelming, quite bland, and extremely little meat. The bulgogi had a decent portion size and great flavor so we actually mixed it into the bibimbap and that made it pretty darn good. We never got refills or topped off on our drinks. Overall, a mediocre experience, and definitely overpriced for what you get. It's not bad, but I probably won't return.

The interior design is super cool, with a modern, tech-inspired theme. The QR code ordering system is very convenient, and I really love the cat robot that delivers the food. Very cute and fun experience! Most of the side dishes at the side dish bar are consistently tasty. Their hot pot is also nice, and the tomato broth is definitely my favorite. It's flavorful without being too heavy. (Personally, I prefer the Cordova location over the East Memphis one.) Small tip: any sauces or dishes with "901" in the name are definitely worth trying!

It's just sooooo cute. They also have a sauce bar with seaweed salad (MY FAV!) and lots of sauces. Oh yeah soup bases, I feel like whatever hodge podge I made up myself was better than the bases I've tried so far. I just didn't like teh Szechuan spicy or the Healthy Herb bases so I will definitely stick to Original next time and just add a bunch of stuff I like. I think they charge like $14 per lb that you leave on the table but will only charge the $14 if you take it home? They let me just pay that and just gave me containers to take my stuff home with. I managed to fit it all in. All I know is I will DEFINITELY be back! A sheet with suggested cooking times would be fantastic bc I really had no idea when anything was done.

We went for lunch, let him guide the way, and ate everything family style (they serve individual platters, but he wanted us to have the full Korean experience and be able to sample many things too!) Everything was delicious. The portions were big, food was seasoned well, and our server was very attentive - keeping us informed of the slight kitchen delay due to a large party ahead of us. After lunch, we popped over to the Asiana market for Korean ice cream bars, which were also delicious! (Apologies in advance for the low quality photos - I had to snap fast before everyone dug in!)

We also really liked the decor inside the restaurant, but this time we actually dined on the patio, which made for a nice change of pace So we ordered the wings, and they absolutely delicious --we liked them so much we ordered a second round. The crawfish dumplings were also solid, but the wings were the standout of the meal. We also tried the Bake MF Margarita, which I expected to taste like tea, but it's actually a refreshing peach-flavored margarita. At about $22, it's generously sized for two people and definitely worth trying. Our server, Mason, was very nice and made great selections for us. Overall, I'm giving Good Fortune Company (4/5). The only reason it wasn't a perfect score was the missing Slap Noodles. Even so, I'd happily return and hope to try them next time. Next time im ordering Ramen!

I didn't like one of my dishes and i specifically told them what I didn't like about it and they still charged me because the chef said "I made it correctly" and I was very disappointed because a kimchi soup should NEVER taste tomatoe-y EVER. I looked back in the kitchen and saw white folks in the kitchen and knew yeah, no. this establishment has no soul or care. There are better Korean options here in Memphis, after some time this place has lost all its care and soul. Like who serves appetizers on plate that says "oh shucks" and it's a picture of oysters...it gives CHEAP & careless.

Thank goodness for social media food reviewer Big Tae, because after seeing his video review and how he raved about this place, I just had to try them! I went basic and got a Korean beef and cheese corn dog. I will say, I was disappointed with this one. It was delicious, however, I thought at first they forgot the beef. The first half of my corn dog was just cheese, then I found the beef, but the cheese was not with the beef. So it was a half and half. I would have liked for the beef to be longer and the cheese to be in with the beef. Nonetheless, the taste was great. Crunchy and great flavor. The sugar on top was interestingly good with it. The other item I got was the vegetable egg roll. I would have rather got the chicken, but they were out. It was a decent egg roll. It was extremely hot when I got it so I let it cool down and by that point it was starting to get soggy. They were big. I'll have to try the Bulgogi next time and a different Korean corn dog also.
