    We've known about this place for a few months now but finally decided to give it a try today... and as much as I try not to give anyone or any restaurant a low score, I can't give this place anything higher than a 3. Service was great, they use a button system that lets staff know if we need assistance and the staff was very attentive. So there's no fault there. The food was okay; it wasn't bad but also not extraordinarily good either. This place could've been a decent KBBQ on the westbank, but the price to quantity drops the score. $32 for about 6-8 pieces of Galbi & Tofu Soup, really steep IMO.

    ROACHES ON/UNDER TABLE (see pic attached) - - after having lunch and paying our bill, we see roaches! One going up the table another underneath. Meat was decent, the sides tasted off & old just not fresh at all. The corn cheese had a weird metallic taste, maybe from container they give it to you in for cooking. The best thing we tasted was the steamed egg, but after seeing the roaches - I wish we had not eaten there! our servers were good however. It is definitely not worth the 230$ bill for a family of 5. They also add automatic gratuities and an insane service fee that we were unaware of (see pic of receipt) - AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!

    A Korean gem next to Hong Kong Market! We went for lunch on the weekend and got seated right away. The dining area is so nice! The service was very attentive and friendly. We ordered a variety of dishes. Tteokbokki, japchae, bulgogi, and a side of mandu. All hit the spot. I even grabbed some kimbap to take home for dinner. Sooooo good! Even the banchan stood out to me. The cucumbers were my favorite. Our server was so kind to bring me extra. The kimchi tasted homemade. You can even buy some to take home! Korean food is not common in New Orleans so it's always exciting to see a new place open up. Definitely give this place a chance! :)

    The service was great. The kid was super swamped and still did the thang. But the food was so mid. I had high hopes since there are so few Korean places in town. The galbitang meat wasn't tender and the soup didn't have a complex flavor profile. The wings were really good though. The bulgogi was fine but it wasn't solid.

    I am so excited that the Westbank has a Korean restaurant! Korean food is the one food that is lacking in the New Orleans area. I stopped in today for lunch and I'll be the first to admit I really know nothing about Korean food. However, everything on the menu sounded great and, thanks to good old Google, I was able to easily figure out what I wanted. To start, the waitress brought out a sampler of a few items just to get us started. For an appetizer, we got the Kimchijun, which is a Kimchi-flavored pancake dish. We also got Kimchi Jigjae, which is kimchi soup, and Bibimbap which is meat, egg, rice, and a few other things served in a hotpot. It was all fantastic! Like I said, I am very green when it comes to Korean food, but the food here was excellent and packed with flavor. The restaurant is still in "soft opening" mode, and plan to visit again to try a few more items.

    Ate at this restaurant a couple of times now in the last month. First time just a few of us trying it out since it had just opened, the second time with a large group because food really is good! So happy there is finally a decent Korean food place in town!! Dishes we tried so far: Kimchi hotpot - I love spicy food and the flavor is on point! They bring the pot out with all the food items already cooked (for the most part) and heat it on a gas stove on the table. Tofu, glass noodles, meat bites, rice cakes, veggies, soup... very delicious! Beef bone hotpot - flavor is also very good, if you don't like spicy, this is a great alternative! Comes with similar items in the pot, tofu, glass noodles, rice cakes, veggies and very generous portion of beed bones with meat on the bones and tendon pieces! Seafood pancake - also very legit with big and lots of green onions, crispy texture on the outside and soft once you bite into it! Banchan - the selection of small side dishes is just okay, the flavor of them is also just okay, I've had much better (not in NOLa area though). Japchae - simple and good flavor! Galbi and bulgogi - you don't cook them yourself on the table (so no worries about smelling like smoke after the meal!), they are brought out on sizzling pan, flavor is good! Wait staff is very friendly and the overall experience had been great the both times. I do think that their prices are high, especially compared to what I'm used to in SoCal, but I guess when there aren't many (if any) competitions, you can have a higher price point. I will definitely return to try other dishes like soon du bu, jigae and bibimbap. It is located inside the Hong Kong Supermarket entrance, there are no signs on the outside!

    My family and I dined here on the 2nd day of their grand opening. We ordered the Tteok-bokki (Korean spicy rice cake), Beef Rib & Bone Hot Pot, and Grilled Atka Mackerel. The service was nice, but the entire restaurant was very unprepared. For starters, they didn't even have bowls for us to eat our hot pot with. So they just told us we had to use the tiny plates from our side dishes, which is very unprofessional as the plates are not meant for a hot pot dish (broth and meat couldn't even fit on the small plate). Also, the mackerel was too salty to eat. Another thing is that they did not even serve us rice, a common side dish every Asian restaurant should at least have. The actual hot pot was decent, but overpriced for the quality. For the side dishes, they were not enough to feed 3 people (the amount of people for our table). The Tteok-bokki was okay, but we were already upset about the unavailability of bowls. They weren't even packed when we arrived. As a restaurant establishment, they should've been prepared with equipment (especially on the most important week for the business). They're literally next to a supermarket (Hong Kong Food Market), so they could've just instantly bought bowls over there if they didn't have them. The total came to be almost $100, but we felt like our meal should've been cheaper considering everything we had to deal with. I truly hope this restaurant changes for the better soon, but overall my family and I didn't have a great experience with K Town.

    Tofu soup, and La Galbi

    The restaurant is highly recommended, they have so many traditional Korean dishes and service is best here in all New Orleans! We love to go here, the environment is clean as well.

    This was my first time trying hot pot and my second time trying the Korean BBQ…read more The restaurant is super spacious and appeared to be nice and clean. When you walk in there are coolers of drinks, slush machines, and Boba tea. There's also a buffet of the seafood and other things to choose from for your hot pot or grill. The waiter was friendly and super patient as I asked a ton of questions. (I told you it was my first hot pot experience) Lol. I ultimately ended up trying the "less spicy" broth, which was extremely spicy. Next time, I'll get no spice. I was extremely excited but ultimately ended up having mixed feelings when I found out every drink in the cooler is open for you to have with the hot pot and Korean BBQ. I wanted to try so many things but they were full sized bottles or cans and I didn't want to waste them. Plus, you can take anything our of the restaurant. That's understandable because you don't want people just opening a bunch of drinks just to be able to take them out. However, not allowing them to be taken out, promotes waste. I would suggest getting mini versions of all of the drinks so there's less chance of waste but, you can also enjoy more than one thing. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd go back. The 4 stars is for the whole drink set up and the fact that I wasn't given instruction on how to turn the hot pot on. I sat there thinking my food was cooking for a good 15 minutes and it wasn't.

Now Sun Chong (recommended by our valet park guy and also the rental car people) combines a Korean/Soul/Creole fusion vibe. Right by Bourbon St behind the Customs House, the location isn't far from the craziness of Bourbon St. Reservations recommended, my coworker and I sat at the bar which was perfect (a table would have been a 20 min wait). Thanks and props to our waitresses, Tishara (typo?), the other lady with her (who left for Baton Rouge and came back home to NOLA), and the other young lady who's half Vietnamese, those 3 ladies really made the vibe at Sun Chong perfect. Always attentive, danced to the R&B, and A+ service to this west coast guy. I loved their two dumplings, the Étouffée Dumplings and the Gumbo Soup Dumplings. Those were awesome, those were the fusion dishes I recommend! The spicy pork was okay, good, the bulgogi beef was decent too. NOLA - Korean/Soul vibes 100%! Check it out. Did I mentioned the service and playlist were awesome? They were able to split the check for the 2 of us at the bar.

Yes…read more Nothing here set your staple Asian dishes apart from anywhere else and when the check came I was like ?? Not worth it. Wings could've had a crispier fry for the heavy sauce on top. It soaked in quick and made it a big soggy. Sauce was super sweet with low dimension in flavors. Crawfish fried rice - okayyy. Tasted like regular fried rice to me. Crab Rangoon was mostly just a cheese dip. The wonton chips and sweet chili on the side is the only thing that tied this dish together to remotely give it crab Rangoon inspired. Delete from your "must try" NOLA list - it's just not.

This particular Monday night we opted to eat a 5:30P dinner in a relatively quiet, open restaurant with Kaitlyn C. as our server. Sake and water for husband and soda for myself all delivered quickly. Also ordered apps at same time explaining husband was famished. Pork gyoza showed up in less than 5 min, and our spring rolls with yummy chili sauce arrived before the gyoza was gone. Husband's Beef Yaki Udon arrived in a reasonable size bowl - no overfilling with too many noodles. I thought the beef was good quality and the cabbage was just the right amount and not too strong. The Crunchy Dynamite Roll w/soy paper and Tsurai Roll (suggested by Kaitlyn when I was overwhelmed with choices) w/sriracha on the side were the last to make it to the table but worth the wait. I'm so glad we asked for a recommendation because otherwise the Tsurai would have been overlooked - and it was the bomb! Not a cheap meal ($71.30 w/tax w/o tip) but eating out generally isn't. With that said, only had a small amount of Udon leftover which means we didn't pay for any wasted food. Plan on eating in again rather than doing take out. Thanks, Kaitlyn C.!
