    Korean food options in the area are unfortunately quite limited, but we decided to give this place a try since we were craving some Korean food. It was fairly quiet on a weekday afternoon. You order at the counter, take a number, and find a seat. We had to wait a little bit before someone came up and took our order. Here's what we ordered: - Bulgogi quesa taco (beef, shrimp): I love korean fusion tacos and the quesa tacos didn't disappoint. They were nice and cheesy, although dripping in oil. - Korean seasoned chicken: I would definitely pass on this. The chicken was heavily breaded and drenched in sauce. - Pork soon tofu soup: I would also probably pass on this as well unless you're really craving soondabu. The soup was really thick and a little too salty. Overall, not bad for the area but next time I think I would drive a little further out for some better Korean food.

    So I'm not sure what happened here but I used to LOVE this spot. Somehow in the last few years the quality and quantity of food has gone down but the prices have gone up. Honestly I think I keep stopping by because of nostalgia.. I've gotta hang that up. The amount of meat you're given is laughable. This would but be enough protein to feed a reasonably grown adult. The service itself isn't even good. The woman at the counter couldn't seem to care less to be there and the individuals making the actual food have been MIA the last 2 times I've stopped in. K town was an amazing local restaurant that I really believed in when it opened. Im really disappointed to see where it's landed.

    Spicy Wing, Black Bean Noodle, Beef Bulgogi Fries, and cheese corn dog

    The beef bulgogi fries I think are the highlight of KTowne-88! The fries themselves are crisp yet fluffy and it is absolutely LOADED with cheese, sauce, and beef bulgogi. It can be easily shared between 2 people. I was also a big fan of their cheese corn dog, it's pretty small because it's offered as a side, but I think it was a pretty decent serving for the price and it tasted great too! The wings unfortunately weren't the best, the wings themselves didn't have a lot of meat to them and it could have been breaded better to have a better crunch. We got the spicy flavor, but it wasn't our favorite, it was actually pretty bland with an overbearing spiciness to it. The black bean noodles also wasn't my favorite, the flavor seemed a little off from other black bean noodles I've had. Overall, Ktowne-88 is a very spacious establishment with plenty of seating and OK food. I would definitely come back for the bulgogi fries if I'm in the area!

    Stopped by on a Sunday night and were unsure at first if they were opened. We walked in and asked if we could place an order and the young lady said She was going to check. She came back and allowed us to place our order but stated it would have to be to go. I got a beef bowl with rice, my fiancé got chicken bowl with salad (not pictured) we were unable to purchase a fountain drink because she stated they shut it off for the night because it wasn't working. After placing our order the lady asked us to wait outside and gave us a buzzer for when our food was ready. Not one to complain but it was 8 pm outside and a little windy but no big deal. Got back home and ate our food and it was kind of bland to me. I was disappointed I've wanted to try this place for a while and had high expectations. Maybe it was just an off day.

    We were so excited to try this spot, based on the reviews. We ordered bulgogi fries, tteokbokki, and korean seasoned chicken. The bulgogi fries were good. The fries were crispy and well seasoned and very flavorful. It did get pretty heavy the more we ate because of the mayo. Tteokbokki: Good amount of spice. There was rice cake and fish cake in the dish. The rice cakes were perfectly cooked, just the right amount of chewiness. However, the dish as a whole was just okay. Spicy Korean seasoned chicken: We all thought that it was really salty. I could not taste the spiciness because it was so salty. The chicken was crunchy and had a good texture, but I wouldn't reorder this dish. We came around noon on a weekend, and there was plenty of seating and parking in the lot. Food prices were fair. I may reorder the fries again, but not the tteokbokki or spicy korean seasoned chicken.

    Beef Tofu Soup
    Ellen Z.

    Really wanted to love this place but unfortunately it missed the mark. Maybe we got it wrong by ordering the less popular "street food" dishes. Bulgogi fries were ok but nothing to rave about. Katsu was a bit disappointing. Although I prefer my katsu to be crispy, the dish was dry and almost flavorless. I did ask the sauce to be on the side but it just didn't cut it, especially when there are so many places out there that do this dish right. The beef soon tofu soup was hot (temperature) but it's supposed to be piping hot so when you crack the egg it takes a few seconds to cook. I kept swirling the soup around waiting for the yolk to cook but it stayed runny/raw for longer than usual. Also the consistency of the soon tofu didn't taste like the traditional way it's prepared. It was thicker and almost creamy-like. Service was fast and the restaurant was clean. There were a few people who opted to dine outside. They looked like they were enjoying their food with a few beers. From the looks of it, we should have ordered the wings.

    Ever since the owners changed, the food has gone downhill. Staff is always changing and 90% of them are extremely rude, however there are a few that are very kind. Tacos were thrown in the box and the ramen had little to no broth and I've had change thrown at me because they didn't want to walk towards the counter. I've tried giving them several chances hoping it would get better. The new owners unfortunately do not care about the service. Found some great new spots because of this and a lot of people I know have stopped going to Ktown as well.

    This is the worst Korean food I've ever had. There were only 5 pieces of rice cake in our dduk bokki dish. The japchae was so bland, noodles were stuck together and hard. I do not recommend this place. I was shocked how bad their dishes were.

    Great place for "fast food" style korean food and snacks. I took friends here that have never tried korean food and they loved it. The plaza its in has a bunch of parking. The inside is spacious. The only thing thats a is the restroom. Overall, it's a good place. Definitely try the wings!

    Beef Bibimbob
    Cindy M.

    This is the first time I had Korean food dishes, they were sooo good. I can't wait to go back and try more. The server was friendly and helpful. It was quiet. When I went, there's 99's music playing in the background and two tvs . You order when you walk in and then sit where you want.

    Beef Rice Bowl
    Linda K.

    Great hangout place and to fulfill your crave on your simple Korean Food. In addition, this place also offers mixed hispanic cuisine touch to the food menu. Beef Bowl portion is just perfect while Tofu Soup, could have little bit more extra meat. The only downside is, the table outside not being cleaned. While I wet- sanitized wiped the chair and table with, it was literally 'black' dirty - and this bring you uncomfortable feeling. Since the outdoor dining was setup, means option for dining there is offered with the condition that support the cleanliness, I guess. But this was not I discovered. If there is rating option of 3.5, I'll go for it.

    Fish taco and chicken taco
    Caroline T.

    We enjoyed our tacos and beef bibimbap. They had great flavor. The fish taco was one of the best we've had. Be careful though, they are very small. See the photo to see how their diameter isn't that much bigger than the diameter of the water glass. And, while it is very fast to order when you walk in, it takes a long time for the food to come out. But, the food was worth the wait. We will definitely be back when we aren't looking for a fast bite to eat.

    Major catfishing going on. Appealing to the eye but the flavor was not there. Tacos were cold upon receipt. I ordered the beef & fish taco. Mostly toppings & breading on the fish taco, with like a french fry sized piece of fish. Same with the Bulgogi fries, meat was okay but fries were cold and not very flavorful. My friends didn't speak too highly of the ramen either. Maybe I came on an off day?

    Do they serve Kimbap?

    No we don’t I’m sorry

    What' happen to the Mexican food and is your bugogi back to the original seasoning?

    Hi Travis Thanks for reaching out The sole Mexican food is not part of the restaurant no more we do… 

    When are the kimchi rice balls coming back? We haven't been back since they are no longer on the menu

    Unfortunately, not right now. We are hoping that in the future we can bring them back. Stay updated by following in our Instagram @ktowne88

    Can you request tteokbokki without fishcake?

    Yes of course

    Do they serve vegan Jjajangmyeon?

    Their jajangmyeon contains pork. Most jajangmyeon at Korean restaurants contain pork with the pork premixed into the black bean sauce. Additionally, the sauce tends to have animal products aside from pork in it.

    Do the have kimbap?

    No they do not serve kimbap

    How is this 1 $ sign when almost everything is over 10+?

    The prices used to be a little lower a few years ago but they have made some improvements to the restaurant (drink bar, electronic menu) so the prices probably account for that.

    Do they offer military discount?

    I dont believe so. Havent seen anything about that

When we were getting ready to leave, we noticed grease coming from underneath the BBQ grill and all over the floor. It had gotten all over my son's shoes and my boyfriend's shoes. We told the manager, and he said he didn't see anything. The restaurant is really dark, and honestly, he didn't really inspect it. I had to pull out my phone and use the flashlight just so we could actually see the grease underneath the grill. He told us they recently changed management and that he had nothing to do with the previous management. When we asked what they could do, the only options were $40 off the bill or we could send them the bill for getting the shoes professionally cleaned. At that point, we just took the $40 off and left. We didn't want to have to keep going back and forth with them, especially when the manager wasn't even willing to properly look underneath the grill. I'm not looking for anything from the restaurant at this point. I just felt this was something that needed to be reported, so I submitted a complaint to Environmental Health. Hopefully they can inspect the equipment and make sure this isn't happening to other customers.

The portions here are VERY GENEROUS. It had plenty of tasty meat and lots of noodles (cooked a bit al-dente for my taste, but it's different for everyone). I think my boyfriend and I could've honestly shared one bowl and be satisfied. It was not a bad price either for a huge bowl. I might be biased since I love huge portions for an affordable price, but I thought it was a delicious bowl. The appetizers were solid, I would've liked a bit more portion as the egg rolls and shrimp rolls were a skinny.

I'm not sure if they forgot to season it before bringing it to us, esp because the staff knew fish sauce was gluten free. It was honestly very disappointing. There was also a staff member who seemed new at the job that kept saying incorrect things without asking someone that knew more. He first told us that there was no gluten free menu option, which was later corrected by another more knowledgeable server. Make sure to ask someone who looks like they know what they're doing!
