    Musubi

    First time there and just loved the place! Friendly people, I've been curious and wanting to try the Musubi. I love it, didn't realized how fast I ate it all. Really good food

    THE JUNCTION (2022) ... Sadly at the beginning of this year we had some very special folks retire after 28+ years of running the Junction. Moses & Mama (to me) hung up their chopsticks and are taking a very well deserved retirement. They've always treated me like family and I will definitely miss their presence at the restaurant. If you're on Moses Facebook, you know he's enjoying it. I couldn't be more happy for them. Knowing my dear friends were no longer there, and during this ridiculous era we're going through, I couldn't get myself to return yet and meet the new owners. Well, last weekend I finally got up there. After being there about 5-minutes I saw one of the best sights come out of the kitchen to make this fat bellied old man happy. My old friend David Gracia is the new owner. He and his beautiful wife Dina Gracia were the ones to purchase this landmark restaurant. David used to be the cook at El Fogon, and I definitely loved his work there. I knew I was in good hands again. The menu is fantastic. Many things to come from our conversation that night. Not only will they have their legacy items, but they are expanding the menu to include some international cuisine. I'm always excited to try new foods and definitely look forward to what David & Dina are bringing to the plate. I had ordered a sampling of items, with the plan to bring home leftovers. I was not disappointed and my tastebuds (and belly) were extremely satisfied. If you haven't been by The Junction in a while, I highly recommend you do drop in. They have kept the late night hours for the weekend. I believe it's until 3am Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Pictured is the Beef Bulgogi, Chicken Dakgogi, Jap Chae, Vegetable Beef Bulgogi, Yakimandu, Radish Kimchi, and Cabbage Kimchi. Huge thanks and love to my Korican family for all the years of good food and awesome company!! Moses & Mama, Sonya, Violet, Jazmine, Lina, Kaitlyn, Jessica, and all the former employees slipping my memory this second. I do look forward to many more years with David & Dina Gracia. To end this review ... I WANT TO KNOW WHEN LAWTON IS GOING TO CELEBRATE AND PROCLAIM MOSES COLON DAY??!! ‍

    Meh... .. but it's kind of hidden so gps should take you here. If I had to guess I would say this used to be either a pool hall or a pizza parlor. When you first walk in you do a double-take because you will walk into two pool tables and a jukebox machine making you think you are at a bar and then you see two pool tables and realize okay it might be a restaurant as well but don't let that discourage you if you are daring if you can try the food here. I should have read the recent reviews and they were not very convincing that I should have tried but I took the leap of faith and fell flat on my face. I ordered the Korean beef and the fried tofu was not a very good presentation everything comes in a to-go box not like the others pictures so they changed something. The tofu was okay if you are very hungry but the Korean barbecue beef I had two bites and it was like beef jerky like someone else reviewed. Only ate half of it and left. The ice tea is very good here at least and the owner/manager or wherever he is his kind of nice I guess. You can look at the pictures that I posted and you can pretty much see the experience you can expect here so yes, like other people said this isn't the best place to go but if you're hungry give it a try

    Nice that they stay open late but the food isn't screaming authentic. Only thing worth the trip was the beef soup. The Bulgogi was ok, it was tender with a nice flavor but not something that says buy me next time. The garlic chicken was extremely bland and the Yaki Mandu had little to no filling. I would go back definitely for the soup and if I needed food that wasn't late night fast food.

    Visiting a friend for the weekend in Lawton, OK with not many breakfast options, my friend recommended Junction City and boy are we happy about it! It's a made from scratch kitchen where everything you order tastes like grandma made it! There was not a long wait when we arrived, though we went on a Monday. There was plenty of seating- booth or table seating. The manager Phillip made and brought us our mimosas, as well as made sure we had everything we needed (as we can be a needy bunch) but he never made us feel like we were inconveniencing him. The fresh fruit mimosas were SO REFRESHING!! They were in a 6 oz flute so we did our best to sip slowly to make them last. The pancakes were THE STAR . They were so perfectly made like grandma used to make them where they get stuck to the roof of your mouth. The sausage was amazing. Eggs were fresh eggs- not made from powder. SOOOOOO happy we stopped in and will definitely go back when we visit Lawton again!

    Yummy!! Yaki and Kimbap

    We've been coming here for years and now there are new owners and if it's possible it's more delicious than its ever been!!

    Spam fried rice

    AVOID "THE JUNCTION". Ordered the spam fried rice (which you can see is not fried rice) and it was gritty and not good. BARELY ate it but according to them, the manager(s) were not in and the rule is: if you basically tasted your food, it's considered as eaten, so they won't refund your meal.. how else would I know it's not good if I did not taste it? Save your money because I've never had such an experience. They claim the manager will give me a call, which I highly doubt will occur. I was not asking for my whole bill to be refunded by any means so the fact that I barely ate my meal and they would not refund something that was undercooked and not good, was unacceptable. Photo of both meals ordered so you can see how much was still on the plates.

    Only reason they are still in business is because they stay open till 4 on weekends. Foods disgusting.

    First of all, I am not from Lawton. I lived here from '98 to '05 and come back from time to time to…read moresee relatives and old friends. I was here recently and low and behold, I found this gem. The Side Bar is a true diamond in the rough of what is Lawton, Oklahoma. The owner(s) is definitely not a local and why he would live here is beyond me. BUT the ambiance, decor, and cosmopolitan look is very well done and stands up with any great bar in Deep Ellum or Lower Greenville. It's only when the clientele open their mouths do you realize, "yup, I'm still in Lawton, Oklahoma." The bartenders are not just cute but actually were attentive (more so than many places in Dallas) and, considering it is Lawton, Oklahoma, know what a Manhattan is as well as an Old Fashioned. Unfortunately they served without rye but I don't hold it against them (looking at you management/owner) because I was immediately told about it. I'm looking forward to asking for a sazerac or a cosmopolitan on my next visit so hopefully they have the goods. The only issue I had with the staff (IF he is on the payroll) was some idiot who treated the music as his own personal playlist; diverse clientele be damned. Even the bartenders were annoyed at him but he straightened up once the owner was on site. Also, there is a lot of smoke/vaping but I give that a pass since, well, it is Lawton, Oklahoma. PROS: Atmosphere; diverse crowd; attentive bartenders who knew how to make a drink without googling it; owner seems cool CONS: CASH ONLY (but there is an ATM just outside); may be out of liquor for classic cocktails; smoking/vaping; idiot wannabe DJ In closing: I would have given a 5 star if the liquor was stocked (in spite of the idiot dj). BUT I will be back again and have already recommended to the locals I know there
