The food was good and on par with standard Korean restaurants. The steamed veggies were comforting and clean and I liked the pairing with the smokiness of the duck.

I do wish they had more than one soon tofu (beef) option. I also wasn't sure about the steaming hot tea in a plastic pitcher, hmmm. That being said, I definitely want to return & try their grilled fish (they have mackerel, atka mackerel, rockfish & croaker). I'm a sucker for grilled fish. I also noticed they have steamed duck??! Which I think my hubby might try next. Stay tuned... :)

The good: My 106 year old grandma wanted some Korean food so…read moreI ordered from here. I got kim chi fried rice, beef bulgogi, and chicken katsu all for delivery. The panko crumbs on the chicken was nice and light. It was perfectly fried and not too hard/over crispy. The meat was also juicy. My toddler ate 3 large pieces of it and kept complimenting how tasty it was. The kim chi fried rice had a great fried egg in it and had great flavor. Even the side of rice was delicious! It was moist and sticky without being overcooked. The bad: I didn't get to experience the food court dining in the grocery store. The interesting: The dishes came with a side salad with orange dressing, pickled yellow radish, and some citrus wedges. The dishes came with 3 pickled side dishes (including kim chi). and a soup.

So we scoured its food court for a quick meal and found this stall with a large selection of Korean dishes. After browsing through their wall mount menu, we ordered the following dishes: A1 Galbi Tang: Do you like juicy pork ribs in clear broth? Then this dish is for you. It came with 2 huge pieces of super tender short rib simmered in a light but flavorful broth with some soft texture glass noodles. It also came with a small set of traditional Korean Banchan side dishes (with kimchi, preserved turnip and seaweed salad) and a bowl of steamed rice. A16 Hot Stone Bibimbap: This dish is for those who like veggies. Inside the hot stone bowl, there were lettuce, bean sprouts, carrots, turnips, mushrooms, and zucchini. Nicely arranged and topped with seaweed, fried egg, and slices of soft beef. On the bottom of the bowl, it had slightly burnt steam rice dabbed with sesame oil. Mixing them all together, it created a kaleidoscope of colors, and delicious blending of flavors and textures. This dish also came with one set of Banchan. For those who like spiciness, it provided Korean chili sauce in a sealed condiment cup. The portions were great and the prices were reasonable. Another great spot for casual Korean food in South Bay.

This is our #1 go to Korean place! All the dishes are super delicious and authentic. All the…read moreportions are pretty big. Banchan is also refillable. We've come here 3-4 times already. Compared to other Korean places in Torrance, they are priced very reasonably. The decor is all very modern and super clean, lots of seating. It does get busy on the weekends so service might be a little slower- Would reccomend the seafoood tofu soup and pork bulgogi combo, japchae (not too oily or soggy) and bibimbap!

We got the kalbi combo. Soup was sooo bland. Got spicey and no flavor. On top of the that they said…read morethe sides aren't refillable since we're sharing ..

This was my third visit and I went out of my way to come back, but unfortunately I tried something…read morenew that I did not end up liking. I ordered the pork vermicelli and found the pork to be overly sweet. It had a saucy texture and I am used to Vietnamese food where the pork is marinated, flame broiled, chopped, and served on top of the vermicelli. This seemed different, almost like it might have been stir fried or just reheated rather than grilled, and I did not enjoy the flavor at all. The dish came with a generous portion of vermicelli noodles, lettuce, a small amount of bean sprouts, and a small amount of chopped peanuts. I wish I had not mixed the peanuts in because I did not like the flavor and it affected the dish overall. I also missed having cucumber, and it could have used a bit more carrot for balance. I would not order this dish again. Service was good as before and the atmosphere is lively, and I do like the place overall, but I would only return for the soup.

I went here with close friends and got 2 orders of a combo meal to split amongst the four of us. It came out to a pretty good amount of food and we were all pretty stuffed by the end of it! (I eat a lot too) The service was very sweet too, and our server gave us room to eat, and didn't come by too too often. I appreciated that. Great place, great lighting, will come again!

What a delightful surprise! While hunting for Crumbl, I stumbled upon this hidden gem called "Over…read morethe Rice" tucked away inside Fat Tomato's space. This creative pop-up kitchen is serving up some seriously interesting Korean fusion dishes. I decided to shake things up and try their bulgogi over pasta instead of the usual rice - and wow! Flavorful bulgogi paired wonderfully with perfectly al dente, garlic-infused noodles. It's not a combination I would have dreamed up, but it works! Though the prices run a bit high, the quality justifies the cost. Interestingly, the talented chef behind the counter bore a striking resemblance to the owner of Yellow Fever (Closed) on Crenshaw - though I can't say for certain if it's the same person.

Overall this place is okay for the price. If you're hungry and craving Korean inspired flavors over…read morerice and noodles, it is perfect. I ordered online and they had it ready for pick up when I arrived 5 mins later. Be aware that the restaurant is doubled up with Fat Tomato Pizza. I took photos to help future customers. I ordered spicy pork over rice, beef over noodles, and a little side of curry to try their curry. Cons: Location. There is very little signage. You don't know you're there until you're at the door. The food is a little on the sweet side. I was hoping for a spicy garlic pork that was leaning more toward salty than sweet. But it was somehow sweeter than the beef bulgolgi. The beef is a little dry but not jerky level as previous reviews have stated. It is clear though that the dishes are put in the pizza oven. There is no restroom and very very limited seating inside. This is a pick up only kind of place. Pros: The noodles are good. No lying there. They feel kinda like fresh ramen noodles so they have some chew to them which give a great texture. The meat is well marinated. Even if it's not to my flavor liking, there isn't any moment where the meat has no flavor. There is also the speed with which the order was filled. The price is also a pro in the current state of the world. So yeah. Def recommend if your at the top of the hill and looking for someplace the find and pick up.

This place did not disappoint! We ordered an 8pc original wing with sauces on the side (yang neom & garlic habanero). The original crispy wings were so delicious; the breading was crunchy, savory, and most of all, not salty. I hate getting wings at kfc or jolibee because I feel super thirsty after eating. I didn't feel that way after my meal here. I would come back maybe in the evening for soju/beer and chicken!

Seems a little messy to me, but we still ordered from here because well we drove over here specifically because we wanted Korean food today and because we want to give them a try. 3 Stars for the level of cleanliness inside their restaurant. I hope they've hired more help and gotten better at this. - 4 stars for their fried chicken. The only thing we didn't like is that every time we ate here and ordered their fried chicken we felt great eating it but then had a weird tummy ache afterwards and lots of burping. But the chicken tasted so good! I don't think I'd go back again just on the two points alone, but my husband said he'd give it another try. So try it at your own risk. You may have a different experience than we did. This place used to be a Korean bbq spot - I miss that place!
