The lady in the front is an old white lady. She is absolutely rude and impatient. I called and she told me I don't know how to speak clear instead of asking me or telling me they don't understand. I ordered chicken teriyaki bowl I got beef. I still ate it to avoid complaints. My wife went to ask for sauce cus there was none and the lady looked at her and made her feel dumb for not knowing the sauces they had. Instead of asking her which on or explaining the ones they have. There was an Asian that use to work the front that was so kind and sweet. I don't know why this worker was impatient. I work hard for my money and was driving through and specifically stopped here on the way to the coast.

I ordered their combo dinner of KALBI & DOLSOT BIBIMBOP with chicken. It came with all the the accoutrement. This was so fresh, stayed hot my entire meal and even ended with some fresh and sweet watermelon. Top tier! I would not dare pass this place up if looking for a spot to eat in Salem.

First time here, some friends & I came in for an early dinner and it was not busy. We were really…read moreexcited to see they had Korean BBQ and all ordered meats we could grill. Turns out we could NOT grill them, but this was not explained to us when we ordered, and then had an extremely weird & uncomfortable meal. A man working at the restaurant came over with the raw meats, stood there the whole time, grilled it, wouldn't let us do it ourselves, which was weird enough, but then proceeded to tell us what to dip things in, how much salad to serve ourselves, what to eat the meats with, what not to eat meats with, and was generally bossy. Supposedly this is due to customers coming in not having done Korean BBQ before and not knowing how long to grill meats, however we had all been to Korean BBQ joints before, and knew how it worked, but were not asked. We just awkwardly sat there in silence as none of us felt like continuing our conversation until the guy was done and left us alone. (3 different meats we ordered, one cooked after another, no say from us on how or when) Staff were friendly enough and food was good but this was weird and I won't be back.

First time, with friends who had been before. 5 adults and 1 picky teenager. Didn't really…read moreunderstand how the menu worked, but positive I did not want to spend over $30 a plate for all you can eat. Decided to get a chicken grill plate, pork belly grill plate, soup for the teenager and an appetizer. One of our friends wanted all you can eat, but was told they couldn't order that unless everyone did. So they ordered some kind of egg souffle, extra rice and we shared. They brought the meat and five of the tiniest servings of sides. About 10 pieces of sliced radish, à few bean sprouts, 6 to eight small pieces of potato.... And left us totally alone. I had to get up from the table to go ask for a fork. (They didn't give us eating utensils other than before the food came they asked us chop sticks or spoon or fork. Since we had not had the food before, we guessed.) The teenager, who lives on Ramen noodles, did not like the soup. The corn and cheese appetizer was tasty. The meats were ok. But we had these tiny, maybe 5 inch plates, where there was not even room to make a lettuce wrap. And the servers walked by time and again without ever asking how we were doing. They came and turned off the fire before we were done cooking the meat. We finally got someone's attention and got it turned back on and did ask for another serving of sides. With the 18% gratuity that was noted on every page of the menu, the bill was over $100. I was shocked! At the prices in general, the lack of service and explanation, the meager amount of food and the total price. Do not waste your time. You would be better off going to a Mongolian Grill.

Unfortunately I did not think to snap a photo of the current/updated lunch menu. We ordered fried calamari, slow cooked beef short ribs, and the slightly spicy, shrimp ceviche, marinated in coconut milk base with various other spices, with fried wonton chips. The food was above average, but I felt like the ceviche could have had more fresh herbs to complete the dish. The beef short rib had nice flavor, but was slightly tough to cut, especially when all I had was a butter knife to attempt the task at hand. All in all, it was a positive experience, and we enjoyed our visit to Corvallis and trying Magenta for the first time.

I just ate at Tiger Mama in the Whit for the first time, and it was amazing…read more Tiger Mama has that Korean pocha feel, where the food, drinks, and atmosphere all belong together. I stopped in for a drink while my to go order was being made and had a Tiger Bomb, a beer with a shot of soju mixed in. The drink was great, and the service was incredibly hospitable. Even though I was just waiting on a to go order, they offered me complimentary banchan, little bites of cabbage, carrots, and cucumber, to snack on while I drank and waited. That was much more hospitality than I expected from simply picking up food. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. The portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and the food felt genuinely high quality. The Korean fried chicken is really, really good. I got the Volcano sauce, and it is legitimately hot. Not restaurant spicy. Actually spicy. I eat the spiciest of the spicy food, and this was a good 8 out of 10 for me, which is probably a 15 out of 10 for most people. It has serious heat, but plenty of flavor underneath it. The dry rub chicken balanced it perfectly, with a tangy, acidic, savory flavor that cut through the richness and paired really well with the Volcano sauce. Crispy chicken, acid, spice, and a cold beer is a pretty hard combination to beat. I also got the kimbap with spicy pork, and that was amazing too. The rice and fillings tasted really fresh, the pork had a great savory sweetness and heat, and the vegetables added freshness and texture. Every bite had a little bit of everything. Between the food, Tiger Bomb, complimentary banchan, and service, I was already thinking I had found a new place I really liked. Then I got home. The only real downside was unfortunately the tteokbokki, which is ironic because that was the entire reason I found Tiger Mama. It was literally the term I typed into Yelp that led me there. And this is where the review gets complicated. Flavor wise, it was amazing. The sauce was sweet, tangy, savory, and a little spicy, with that deep gochujang flavor you want from tteokbokki. The fish cakes were tender, plentiful, and full of flavor. There were glass noodles, mandu, and half a hard boiled egg, giving it a lot of different textures. It felt like a more elaborate, modern take on the classic Korean dish. The rice cakes themselves were fantastic. Great size, wonderfully tender and chewy, and soaked in that delicious sauce. Honestly, the tteok I did receive might be the best I have had while dining out. My problem was that I received three of them. Three individual rice cakes. In an $18 order of tteokbokki. That was genuinely disappointing. Tteokbokki was why I came here. It was what I searched for and what drew me in. The menu picture showed plentiful, delicious little rice pillows sitting in sauce, which was exactly what I had been craving. Instead, I got a large serving of glass noodles, fish cakes, mandu, sauce, egg, and three rice cakes in a dish named after the rice cakes. If this had been the only thing I ordered, I could easily see myself leaving a sour one star review and never going back. But that would not represent the experience I had. Everything else was too good. As someone who loves Korean cuisine, both cooking it at home and eating it out, I can tell there is a lot of care put into this food. Even the tteokbokki was excellent in every respect except the rice cake quantity. The sauce was perfect, the fish cakes were great, the mandu was a nice surprise, and the sweet, spicy, tangy, savory flavors worked ridiculously well together. It also pairs really well with a beer. Or six. Unfortunately, I live too far away to have noticed until I got home, and they were already closed. I'll call tomorrow, and based on the service I received, I'm confident they'll make it right. Three rice cakes for $18 was genuinely disappointing, but I'm not going to let what seems like one portioning mistake outweigh an otherwise excellent experience. The food, atmosphere, hospitality, and care put into everything were too good. Tiger Mama is a great addition to the Whit, and I'll absolutely be back. Especially for more tteokbokki. Hopefully next time, more than three.

But we had a meal here where multiple dishes were not well prepared and it seems like something is going amiss with this otherwise great place... It doesn't make sense to serve pajeon (crispy pancake) on a sizzling metal platter. Yes, it's always exciting when a sizzling thing is dropped onto the table, but it char-burned the bottom of the pancake! It was fully black on one side and not edible. I had to ask them to bring a normal plate to pull it off the sizzle platter and save as much of the pancake as we could... but it was too late. To the server's credit, he comped the pancake. The servers are always very nice and fast here. This is the kind of choice that's style over substance, going for presentation that looks flashy but lacks common sense...

If you have never had a Korean Corn Dog (KCD), this is the place to change that. The last few years…read morehave seen an influx of food trucks doing Korean Friend Chicken. Few of those trucks do the dogs but at Clucking Dog you get the best of both these worlds. At first blush, the KCD is a corn dog who has been working out. Bigger than the traditional American State Fair fried food favorite, KCDs are distinct with the core potentially being cheese versus a beef dog. The differences do not stop there. Batters are commonly potato and, a first for me, Ramen!!!. Then there's the outside. My favorite is the brightly hued, orange dusted exterior, perfect for an Oregon State Beaver-lover to wave. This cheeto-dust helps add another snack favorite to the mix. We went with the all cheese, Ramen, and cheetos dusted treat. Our KCD was perfectly done. The crunch of the outside gives way to the warm ooze of the cheese. The temperature was just right allowing the elasticity of the cheese to stretch and give, expanding to a near two foot long tightrope from mouth to bitten dog. This was a tasty dog and was better than the KCDs I have had in Los Angeles. Do not forgot to add KFC to the mix. The chicken (I had the 5 piece) was a perfect balance to the dog. Once more, it was some of the best KFC I have eaten. Crunch or the outside, tender meat on the inside coming easily of the bone, the juices trapped in the crust waiting to be released on your bite. As a savory lover, the garlic breath was the right sauce, soy, sweet, garlic, brushed on to not drown but highlight the crunch and flavor of chicken.
