    Went by the other day to see what was up... it did not disappoint. Very trendy/quirky interior and it was so colorful! The rainbow led lights under the bar was a nice touch. My food was great and fast! I recommend the shrimp bao (I still can't believe it was only $8!) My server was very friendly and made good suggestions for boba Will definitely go again and bring a friend next time!

    I'll definitely go back! The menu is on a scam a QR code system. They have several menu options. (I saw a few reviews that stated there was a limited menu. That's not the case now). I ordered the Bulgolgi Beef Bibimbap. It was seasoned very well and hit all the flavor notes for me. I came with a party of 12. We're all "foodies" and everyone was satisfied with their meal in terms of flavor and portion size. I ordered the pear pandemonium to drink. It was a little sweet for me but the bartender fixed it, no problem. They have a full bar with many options and the bartender was pretty creative in making off menu cocktails. The restaurant is on the smaller side but big enough. The staff was helpful with positive attitudes!

    We stopped in during the soft opening and it was not overly crowded. The vibe is somewhat trendy and casual. It is about half self serve-meaning you order and pay on your phone and grab your own drink, they do have servers who will bring your food out and help with any concerns. Great place for kiddos to keep entertained. A small patio is off to the side so your group can also spread out. They have some small growing pains to work out with the ordering, food timing etc. but they asked for honest feedback which shows willingness to grow and improve!! Pricing is very reasonable.

    This place just opened and it fills the void in the area for Asian food option. It self-describes itself as a "Asian Street Food". To me the dishes are less street food and more fusion style. There are some interesting options and are mostly Japanese and Korean influences. You can order and pay directly from your phone so personal service is minimal. The ambiance is modern and clean. I tried the Kimcheese burger. It was good combination of two patties, lettuce, tomato, and pimento cheese. The Asian influence was minimal, but it was good nonetheless. My wife had the Pork Tonkotsu ramen. It was good, but the cardboard bowl and plastic spoon didn't work well. Eating it was awkward because the bowl was too deep and spoon too small. Little things like that make a difference. The worker told us that they Just opened and will tweak the menu as they determine what works best.

    The food was good. The service was great. I believe Angie was our server Spoke with the owner for a few minutes. He is a friendly guy. Nice ambiance. My wife loved the KFC. She said Colonel Sanders is in trouble. I loved the Asian Chicken Sandwich. The chips are average. They made need to go with french fries or bagged chips for a better experience. My youngest daughter liked the Kimcheese burger. The K-Dog was a very good appetizer we shared it as a family. We got it Hot Cheeto Style. The milk teas and fruit teas we tried were good!

    This burger had a lot of flavor. We also had the Korean fried chicken it was also delicious. Very kool ordering system here. Service was great. My beer was loop warm. I recommend this place it's tucked away in a great area with tons of other food options.

    The ramen noodles were the best I've ever had. The chef came out explained how he made the broth. The whole experience was a chef's kiss.

    We loved all the food we had. The waiter free restaurant is new to me but very easy to navigate. The boba alcoholic drinks were tasty! We had the gyoza, the k dog, the kimcheese Mac, and the nuggies. I love the street food focus. The owner came by and talked with us and he's very friendly! I can't wait to go back and try more of the options!

    I have been looking forward to Glass Panda for a long time since Birmingham is lacking Korean style food options. Glass panda did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and the restaurant seemed like it would also be a fun place to eat and hang at night. The food was reasonably priced and tasted really great. Everything we ordered came out quick and we couldn't decide what our favorite was. If you're with a group the food is easy to share! I will definitely be going back

    We got the K-dog, gyoza, Asian chicken sandwich, & the Bao buns. The food was alright, but the service was very slow. However, the atmosphere was cozy and the staff very kind and apologetic about the whole thing. Hopefully, since they're so new, when they get the kinks worked out, that will be better.

    Bland Chicken Nuggies
    Tenise H.

    I have never had food to taste so bland. Although it was hot and fresh it lacked flavor to be Asian food. I order the chicken nuggies and the breading had zero flavor, all I tasted was the sweet garlic soy sauce. The meat was a little chewy but that could be because they use breast meat. 0/10. I also ordered a small fried rice. It looked so good but it was another let down with flavor. All I smelled was garlic, no salt, zero spice and flavor. I had looked forward to this place but I was totally let down and wasted my money. I will be calling to speak to a manager today.

    This was my first time to come here and I absolutely loved it. I had gone to another Korean BBQ…read morerestaurant before but Stone Age III completely changed my entire perspective of Korean BBQ itself. The staff were all so so nice and constantly checked on us. And answered all of our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with our friends and the food tasted amazing. What made me happy was after enjoying all of that delicious food I never once felt bloated or felt it was too much. I can definitely tell We will be coming back here again soon! The atmosphere was clean, fun, and entertaining.

    I was really curious to try the only Korean Hot Pot restaurant here in the Hoover/Birmingham area…read more It was alright; I think because I've had so many really good hot pot experiences growing up, I held my expectations here a bit steady. But I think it's great that they have a place like this here. So, the menu is limited, but it is great for a novice hot pot customer because they won't be overwhelmed. There is only one type of noodles you can get (glass noodles), and only a few selections of red meat and vegetables. But hey, I won't complain, because you can't get it elsewhere. The meat I received were super fatty. There were some when the fat was around 80% of the meat itself. Veggies were good! They have a bar of sauces and other foods you can get and add to your hot pot. Broth was fine, it wasn't anything particular to rave about. The service was great - people were so friendly and nice. They tended to us pretty well. The ambience was really cool! They have screens around the restaurant that play K-pop music videos, which was a super cool touch. 5/5 for the ambience.

    We went to lunch today to Nori and it was great. All the food we had was very tasty. My sons 9 and…read more11 loved their shrimp and the potstickers. My wife had chicken and scallops also very good and I had steak and lobster which was excellent. The service was great and the ambience is very nice. I think we were in and out in about an hour. Our cook was funny and talented in his skills. My kids even had a Rama made Strawberry Boba Tea and loved them. We will be back!

    Unfortunately this was not one of my favorite hibachi experiences and I do plan on revisiting to…read moresee if my next experience would be different. I'm wondering if it was my fault for not ordering hibachi from the demonstration grill, but I was thinking since the restaurant was empty I was going it a service ordering from a table, but my soup and salad came out after my hibachi meal. I think the waiter forgot about it because I had to so if it was still coming. When it did come, the soup looked like mostly water (see photos) and the salad was over drenched in dressing. I've never seen that much dressing in a salad my entire life. The meat wasn't hot but the fried rice really saved the day. It was salty, but I prefer mine that way. I like the location of this place so I'm hoping that next visit will be different.
