It's summer and less crowded in Oakland which meant we had to go for a family style meal at K-Town Snack Bar where we ordered one of everything on the menu. It took a minute for everything to come out which was fair since we ordered a lot and there was only one person making enriching. The inside is on the smaller side with a couple of tables and a longish sort of bar table with high stools. We got the whole chicken with spicy sauce and it was absolutely incredible!! The tteokbokki and mandoo were solid as were the other sides. I thought the corn dogs needed a little something extra like a sauce but that being said, we ate all of them. It was an excellent meal overall and I will definitely be back! read more

We ordered from this location on Uber Eats and it's literally almost 11pm. The food came so fast and it was warm and delicious. The generous amount was worth the price. The sticky rice was on point and the beef was so flavorful, had a little char to it that I appreciate so much!! I will definitely come back and I do recommend this place. I can't comment on service as I said I had it delivered, but everything was delicious. And we got free Pepsi's with our meals! read more

I love the bulgogi although everything is way over priced it's shameful! the spicy ramen is nothing more than store bought noodles heated for you which was super disappointing. I literally had the same noodles at home in the pantry. $17 for rice, lettuce, and a few pieces of chopped up meat is just not acceptable and if you want extra there is a $7 extra charge and the protein isn't even doubled. Seems like there's a charge and no extra protein included. wanted to love the food and there's potential but the price gouging has to stop. Until then unfortunately I won't be eating here anymore. read more

They also offer a variety of Korean corn dogs and other Korean dishes.! read more

K-Towne used to be better when they first opened. Service is horrible when the owner isn't there to supervise. It's partially due to being early in the college season but, my order was lost in their tickets and had to wait almost 40 minutes for my food. Quality is hit or miss too, depending on who's working the bowl is delicious and balanced. Other times it's smothered in their salad sauce and just ok much or the meat is super chewy. The service was really poor this time and will have me second guessing coming back while these two are working and or if they are busy The desserts changed too changing from the delicious fish to the new chocolate pancake paddy type thing. read more

I guess it's my fault for ordering a corndog, I know that's weird, I'm an adult, but I was thinking it would be hot and delicious and flavorful like at the fair. It was just flavorless and wrapped in sawdust, what a disappointment. The workers were really nice though, but then the guy behind me told me not to bother tipping because they don't get any of it. That's pretty ridiculous and miserly. read more

Food is Korean street food style, pretty good quality, however it's expensive for basic stuff. Although, the great thing about this place is that it's open pretty late! Overall it's good for late night snacks if you're okay with spending a bit. read more

K-Town Snack Bar - Tteokbokki - Korean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The first time I was here, I believe the owner was around and he was very helpful since I never been there before. The Korean corn dogs with cheese tasted really good and were fresh. The place wasn't so busy and the service was lovely. This was a couple of months ago btw and this review would be receiving a 5 star. Now let's bring up my review for my most recent review which puts me on the edge to revisiting. As much as I love the Korean cheese dog, my service was basically boring. I didn't want to use the self kiosk and I wanted the Venmo discount since I was ordering more cheese dogs than my last visit. They weren't even busy besides a large party that had their food and were sitting there talking. There were 2 people working and I know for sure the guy could have taken 5 mins to ring me up but no he refused. I just wanted 3 Korean corn dogs and a seaweed roll thing to try. I had to package my order myself instead of them packaging it but seemed to be ready to pack a food delivery order. I didn't mind to pack but the stick from the corn dog was poking through the bag and it just didn't make sense in that cheap plastic bag. I just wish that if the place is near empty and there isn't a line, why couldn't the guy ring me up? Also my Korean corn dogs weren't nearly as tasty as the last time I was there. It tasted more oily than crispy and that is just a no go. Parking is a b* I need to add that the self kiosk is more than the Venmo percentage off btw which is misleading from their menu when you walk in to read. read more

Came here on a gorgeous day and was able to get one of their outdoor tables. The portion to price ratio was good. The tofu was a little too sweet for me but the rice, salad, sauce, and noodles were all delicious. I appreciate that the dumpling they gave was vegetarian (even my friend's meat dish had the same one) but it only has noodles in it so it was a lot of carbs on carbs. read more

K-Town Snack Bar - Tofu Rice - Korean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Nah. If you Korean, just stay home. Not worth in any way. Hard to mess up ramen but they did.

Stopped in here for a quick dinner and was impressed. The menu is small but offers lots of options. We tried the bulgogi, tteokbokki, and mandu. The bulgogi was amazing, meat was tender and very flavorful. I liked that it was served with both noodles and rice and my daughter said they were both delicious and cooked well. She also liked the sauces on the salad. I had been craving tteokbokki for awhile and this really hit the spot. I do wish the sauce was a bit thicker to coat the rice cakes more but it had the perfect level of spice and great flavor. I was a little shocked to see the mandu had noodles inside but it tasted okay, my daughter emphatically said "these are excellent". I do wish they had meat options for these but can appreciate the range of vegetarian-friendly options here which can sometimes be hard to find in Korean restaurants. Food came out quickly, service was friendly. Ambiance leans towards fast food type of place, you wouldn't necessarily linger here but can see it catering to a late night college crowd. read more

I just tried a few items from this place and thought the food was very average and a tad disappointing based on the reviews. I think maybe their entrees are better, but I just got 2 of the fish desserts. I got a gold fish with custard and a gold fish with chocolate. The chocolate was way tastier than the custard, and I am usually a custard fan. The portion was pretty decent. The breading tastes very similar to a waffle, so it's not too sweet. The sweetness really comes from the filling. The chocolate inside was delicious, and was similar to Nutella. Adequate amount of stuffing. This was quite good. However, the custard goldfish was a disappointment. First, the custard was almost dry. There was not too much stuffing as well. And, the custard itself was not that flavorful. So, I would not recommend this goldfish. Overall, a decent snack shop. Maybe the meat and entrees are better, but the goldfish were just okay. I'd definitely take the chocolate over the custard. read more

I'm personally a fan of sweet bulgogi so I really like the food here. I wish the bungeoppang had a skinnier crust and more filling. You order at the front and thr wait time is less than 5 min usually. They play Korean music! Very cute decor! If you pay with venmo you get 5% discount read more

I was excited to try this place but was very disappointed. The server was rude, service was bad, and the food was- in simple terms- bad. I don't think I'd ever come back here again. We had the fried chicken, tteokbokki, bulgogi and spicy pork bowl. The fried chicken was dark brown rather than a golden brown, and the inside was red and cold. I don't recommend! read more

New Korean Snack restaurant in the heart of Oakland Pittsburgh! I was excited to hear that the food truck owners of Mr. Bulgogi opened this storefront, and happy to see more Asian representation in the Pittsburgh food scene. I ordered the bulgogi cup-bap on their second day of their soft opening! The bowl was filled with white rice, an iceberg salad, japchae noodles and fresh bulgogi. I liked how the meat was tender and flavorful. The portion size was fair for the price of $9.50. Looking forward to trying more snack items on the menu, like Korean corndogs, ramen and custard filled fish-shaped pastries. Not my place for a Korean food craving, but glad to have supported this business on its early opening days. tldr; food 4/5 service 4/5 interior 4/5 read more

K-Town Snack Bar - bulgogi cup-bap - Korean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Excited to welcome this Korean snack bar to Oakland! I have not tried the owners Mr. Bulgogi food truck before so I was excited to see what this snack bar had to offer. They have a good variety of food options. If you are hungry, they have the cup bab or ramen. There are also snack foods like the gold fish, corndog, and tteokbokki. It is nice that they offer different add ins for the ramen and tteokbokki so you can customize your dish! They also have the ramen maker/ water boiler out so you can watch the machine work or do it yourself. So far I have only tried the gold fish. It was tasty but I wish there was more custard filling inside. I am interested in going back to try more soon! My friend tried the cup bab and said it was good but the portion was a little small, not filling enough to be a full meal. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. There is several tables for both indoor and outdoor seating. Overall a great spot for a bit of Korean food! read more

New Korean snack bar right by Pitt campus. We tried out rice bowl (pork and tofu, respectively) and were really happy with both. Good flavor, sauces and happy with portions too. I would say it is not a heaping bowl of food but definitely fits for a linsmaller dinner. Snacks are also pretty tasty! Only tried the goldfish so far but it is tasty, flaky and has plenty of filling. Definitely recommend read more

Quick, tasty, and vegetarian-friendly! This is going to be added to my list of go-to quick lunch takeout spots in Oakland. I ordered inside and my food was ready in about 5-10 minutes. The portions are filling for the price. The tofu in the rice bowl is chopped up aburaage (the fried, marinated tofu pockets used in inarizushi). If you're a fan of the strong sweet, vinegary flavour that comes along with that, you'll love this dish (I certainly do) but, if you're looking for typical grilled spongy tofu, this may not be your cup of tea. The restaurant also has vegetarian options for the Korean corn dog, making me finally feel included! The breading was very thick for the amount of cheese and the cheese had a very mild flavour, so I likely won't order this again, but I was happy to get to try it. I can't wait to go back and grab a bite on their small patio after work! read more

the manager gouges his employees tips, the food is bland, while the employees may be kind, you can see they would rather be working at a place that appreciates them for the work they do and pays their proper wage, additionally the manager threatens employess who are sick with a fine or deduction from their pay check. will be calling Pennsylvania LAI, the owner needs to be held responsible. read more

Small little place on campus that seems like a good place if you're looking for a quick bite on the go. The portions aren't very big at all. We dined in with a few friends and got the spicy pork bowl and tteokbokki. The pork was actually not bad, pretty tender and juicy but not spicy at all. There's some japchae in the bowel as well and it was pretty good as well. The tteokbokki however was so watery??? I don't believe there are fish cakes in it, just tteok and some vegetables. The sauce was way too sweet for me and I personally wouldn't get it again. I'd say this is a nice place to grab something small and you're not expecting much. read more

K-Town Snack Bar - Spicy pork bowl - Korean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great hidden spot for authentic Korean food! Located right off of Forbes in Oakland, I expected it to be very busy, but only a few people were inside so we ordered and got our food pretty quickly. They have a very small menu with only 5 or 6 options, but they all sounded delicious. I ordered the spicy pork bowl and loved it. The bowl included rice, lettuce, onions, noodles, and marinated pork all mixed together with yum yum sauce and a spicy pork sauce. It was a perfect balance of refreshing flavor and a bit of heat from the spices. The pork was thin but tender and rice was cooked just enough to be soft but not mushy. I would have liked more yum yum sauce to mix with ingredients, but the pork sauce also did a good job of making the bowl not as dry. Portions are large and filled me up, with prices also being reasonable. The staff was very friendly too. Recommend checking this place out for fast casual and delicious Korean food! read more

K-Town Snack Bar - Spicy Pork Bowl - Korean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Food was great, super crunchy corn dogs and service was amazing, and the ambiance was low.

Good flavor, fast service, friendly workers. First with the good. The service is fast even with the food being made to order. The menu is easy to follow. The options are affordable and a good amount of items. I really enjoyed the meat. The wagyu was quite good and seemed like an affordable way to get it--the thin slices were enough. The bulgogi marinade was delicious. The only cons I had were the portions were on the smaller end. There is no way you can order one thing and be full. At minimum two orders. The tteokbokki was in a runny sauce, although the sauce itself was not bad. I would have preferred the salad be omitted and subbed for more rice or a more substantial side. Although not pictured, after trying the ramen it may make more sense to make it at home (they are using instant ramyun) unless you want one of their meat options. Although the machine is very cool. read more

This restaurant just opened and it's exciting to see a new Korean place specializing on classic and simple dishes. I enjoyed their chicken cupbap and their tofu cupbap. The seasoning is spot on with a tasty sweet and salty flavor. Additionally the owner was incredibly nice, greeting us with a big smile and was just pleasant to be around. My only issue was that I felt the portions were too small. Perhaps I've been spoiled with portions around the area for the same or even cheaper prices. Also, when I went, the rice was very much on the staler side. As delicious as the freshly made meats was, the hard, non-fluffy rice really detracted from the dishes. Delicious nonetheless but disappointing in that case. Would definitely come again and I am very excited to see its potential. read more

One of the best things to happen to Oakland in the midst of terrible traffic and inconvenient construction. K-Town Snack Bar has quickly become one of my favorite places to grab food on the go without breaking the bank. It's by no means authentic Korean food and the menu is limited, but for the convenience and price, it's worth it. The bulgogi cup-bap is the perfect meal when you've had a long day, where the meat is tender and flavorful and is paired with white rice, japchae, and an iceberg salad. The tteokbokki is also pretty good and the portion size is plenty for 2 (or 1 if you had a bad day). This place is definitely worth a try and one of the better food options in Oakland! read more
