    Fun spot! Korean corn dogs are so unique and this place makes quality dawgs They sometimes sell out (I ordered a ramen dog but they gave me a regular) it was still great! I like the one with potatoes on it as well If you've never had one definitely give this place a try

    I was casually strolling down the street in my neighborhood when I noticed a bright orange food truck so I made my way over and low and behold it was Mr.Bulgogi truck From Ktown Pitt(restaurant in Oakland) I've always wanted to try Korean bbq so I did and (THEY HAVE THE BEST KOREAN SHORT RIBS) 10/10 MUST TRY AGAIN the Ramen is great as well but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Bulgogi..service is always good they are polite and efficient.! They also offer a variety of Korean corn dogs and other Korean dishes.!

    The tteokbokki is delicious! Worth stopping by if you are near the Peterson event center.

    Tofu Rice

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    Tofu rice

    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

Unlike some other hot pot places I've been to, this place only charges for one pot and not for the food you get. I ordered everything that was available and it was all better then the last. I would especially recommend the pork, it was delicious! I had 3 orders of it. As I mentioned before, the food is delicious! While I couldn't get a photo, there was also a sauce bar. You had the option to get a premade one or get your own. I chose to make a teriyaki sauce and it was amazing! Definitely recommend checking it out while waiting for food to arrive. The waiter was so nice, I didn't catch his name but rest assured all of the staff is so nice and kind! They are very informative and know what dishes are good and bad. Now for the part that is hardest to nail down, the restaurant ambiance. I normally don't write about ambiance because to describe an amazing place to someone with just a few words is hard to do, but I felt I had to do it for this one. The restaurant looks very authentic and it is clear that they respect the culture that they represent.

The food comes out relatively quickly and the service is very good. I've come here a couple of times. My favorites are the steak short ribs (Galbi), bulgogi, and the Korean fried chicken (you can split the flavors half and half). My friends and I wanted to try something new and so we got the pork ribs (they were ehh); also, the chicken dinner dish was also very average. There was only one mishap once where the fried chicken we got was cold. However, once the waitress knew about this she got us a new dish which was very kind. This place can hold a lot of people and has a lot seating!

While visiting family in the area, I was…read moreasked to check out this holes-in-the-wall Korean restaurant to see whether it would appeal to non-Korean diners seeking authentic Korean cuisine. From the moment I looked at the menu, my instincts told me this place would outshine many of the nearby Korean restaurants and I was right! The first bite of the fresh and flavorful banchan (side dishes) immediately proved it. This small family-owned restaurant delivers genuine hospitality and warm service, if not efficient. We tried the seafood pancake, marinated kalbi(beef), tofu/seafood spicy stew, dolsot bibimbap w/chicken(mixed rice with vegetables in a clay pot), grilled mackerel, and pork bossam( lettuce wrap with braised pig's feet). Everything was absolutely delicious except for the bossam, which was a bit too fatty for our taste. Still, my family of five thoroughly enjoyed the experience of dining at this authentic Korean spot. It's a wonderful place for family gatherings, dinner with friends, or even dining solo. They do not have a liquor license, and while walk-ins are welcome, reservations are recommended for larger parties. Definitely worth a visit!

The server was really kind and checked up on us multiple times throughout the night. We ordered so many things from the menu and the portion sizes were generous to say the least. My favorite was the Japchae glass noodles. I've been to restaurants in the past where the noodles end up being too sticky but these had the perfect consistency and delicious sesame flavor. I will note that it was a little warm in the restaurant so in the summer combined spiciness would be an experience, but the food was worth it in my opinion.

They do seem to really care about the craft of providing Korean inspired fusion concepts. The Korean style poutine was a good example. Mostly classic poutine, but with crumbled tofu in place of cheese curds. Well played. Especially well played given the scare quotes in the menu to call attention to the fact that "this isn't traditional poutine." I checked the place out with a friend and we ordered a few different dishes. I got the bibimbap, and it was fine. The pickles were in the direction of a bread and butter pickle, which was a nice fusion-y touch. The carrots and pickled cabbage were fine but not notable. The fried egg was perfectly constructed. Good outcome overall, but also a pretty hefty dish. My friend ordered the barbecue combination, which is essentially a three different meats served with rice. She liked it. It's not something I would order, but it looked well presented. All told, I think this was a good destination. They have a very small list of beers available, but the list spans a reasonable number of styles. The staff were very friendly, but also spread pretty thin. There seemed to be some interesting cocktail options, but that's less my thing. I think I expected more, but that doesn't mean I was necessarily disappointed.

I wouldn't really call this a supper club to be honest but the place definitely carries a house music bar vibe and the back bar area and seating is very dimly lit, perfect for cozying up and enjoying a drink late night. The ladies' room was so dark, I mistook it for a storage area because I could only make out a white ladder in the corner that was being used as cute shelving. The place is seat yourself. Our waiter was not super friendly and didn't offer to give us napkins or anything when our wobbly table caused our drinks to splash all over the place. The cook served our chicken with a big smile and happy interaction and we really loved his personality. The bartender also stopped by to bus our table and he was very pleasant as well. We enjoyed the perfectly fried small plate cauliflower with the plum sauce and the fried cheese/garlic wonton bites with the sriracha mayo spicy dipping sauce. The fried chicken breast on the large plate was slightly overcooked with a maple gochuchang sauce that was very bland. We were so thankful that the large plate fried chicken came with a side salad to offer some respite from the heaviness of the fried dishes. It would have been great to have some side acidic or fresh vegetable options like Kimchi or something. Maybe we tried the wrong dishes and there are other not fried things that are delicious? The dirty martini cocktail was just so-so, not really much flavor at all, but the mojito was very good and refreshing. It's probably a good late-night place for a bite and drink.
