My husband and I went to Kwik Chek today and I was very disappointed. I got the falafel plate which consisted of three pieces of falafel, peta wedges, hummus and taziki. The hummus was ok. The taziki had a small amount of cucumber in it .... it was pretty basic to say the least. The peta wedges were much too salty but edible as I had not eaten all day and was hungry. The falafel was so dry and hard that it was completely inedible. I told the employee about the falafel and she brings me one more of the same dry, hard falafel. Dry, hard, and cold to be exact. Actually, I find it hard to believe that a restaurant would serve something so awful. Again, I went to the counter and spoke with an employee who told me they fry the falafel the night before then warm it in an oven for serving the next day. Nope, not a good practice. I was given my money back for the falafel. My husband got the Ninja sandwich which he said was good. Will I go back? Going by the disappointment of the falafel plate I would have to say NO! but because of the redeeming quality of my husband's sandwich I might consider returning ... but no time soon. read more

Love this find! It's a convenience store fast casual type of place with a good variety of hot, delicious, and fresh food. We loved the dumplings (were making them from scratch!), kimchi fried rice, and bimbimbop - all SO good! And friendly service and yummy desserts, too. read more

Kwik Chek - Kimchi Fried Rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

And I thought Chinese sub shop was skimpy on the meat. This place takes it to a new level. Total waste of money.. unfortunately I had it delivered. All I tasted on the Ninja was bread, lettuce, and whatever sauce they put on it. This place was recommended by several people and had great reviews but fell wayyyy short. So many other places that serve better food for the price. read more

Kwik Chek - A single piece of deli roast beef - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

What's great about Kwik Chek: - this is a true small operation: you can see the ajummas (older women) behind the counter making dumplings right in front of you, and everything (for the take-out counter at Kwik Chek and for the noodle restaurant next door) is made in front of you. - the food is good and vegetarian (probably vegan, though I tend to "don't ask don't tell" in situations like this) friendly. they have an eclectic menu: American and Greek style sandwiches (both meat and veg), and some traditional Korean dishes. We tried fried veggie dumplings (good!), pajeon (green onion pancake - which was great) and an order of tofu bibimbop (delicious). What's no so great: - the parking lot is a disaster: it was small and totally full, with some cars just waiting in spots that weren't actual parking spots. As a tourist, I wasn't sure if there was street parking nearby. - it took *forever* to get my order: I should have called ahead. When I ordered at the counter, I asked for an estimate, and was told maybe 15 minutes. It was more like 40 minutes! - there's a market that sells a few snack items and beer. I bought a couple of beers; no prices were marked, and they were a lot more expensive than I expected! 3.5 stars rounded up cause it's a clearly a family-owned business read more

Tasty sandwiches. Not quite as tasty as they once were at half the price I'm not a regular here because the service is wayyy toooo slow. Over 30 minute wait for a sandwich is completely absurd read more

This was a very unassuming and peculiar place. It looks like a gas station stop, but happens to serve Mediterranean and Korean food! The mandu(dumplings) were delicious. My friend and I tried the chicken, and tofu dumplings. The tofu were my personal favorite- they were incredibly moist and well-seasoned. I also got the kimchi fried rice. The seasoning on it was little light, but a touch of soy sauce from the dumplings complimented it well. To give the Mediterranean food a chance, we also tried the hummus and pita platter, which was also a solid choice. Overall, I'd say it was a good bang for your buck meal. I was pleasantly surprised. The Korean food tasted very authentic. I didn't have enough of the Mediterranean options to say the same about those options, but I would be willing to come back again. read more

Kwik Chek - Dining room - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Went back to Kwik Chek after a several year hiatus and was glad to see the food is still the same! Subs are everything here, but I've also heard good things about their Korean food. I'm pretty particular about my Asian food so I probably will stick to subs. Ordered the Ninja on wheat with everything. Still delicious with that sweet sauce! Service can be a bit slow. The night I went there weren't many customers there but plenty of staff but the sandwich still took over 10 mins to make. I guess you can't rush greatness *shrugs* read more

When your Uber Eats driver tells you that this is his favorite restaurant, you know you hit a bullseye. Greek, Korean, Deli? Kwik Chek has it all. My wife and I were not to hungry, so we ordered, greek salad, pita with hummus and yes the Kimchi Fried Rice. The highlight was the Kimchi Fried Rice, well cooked, well seasoned and a with just the right amount of heat. If I am ever in Memphis, I would definitely order from here. read more

Delicious sandwiches and Korean dishes. Beers galore! I love the Bi bim bop Hey Zeus, actually anything up on the menu board. The baclava is homemade and the ambience is mid-century night-owl linoleum. What's not to like? 5 stars! read more

Never thought I'd say this but - Bi Bim Bop at the Kwik Check is fantastic. Came here a few months ago when in town with my adult kids, upon their raving recommendation, and haven't stopped thinking about how good this comfort food dish was. Organized the whole family to come back over Christmas holidays after Zoo Lights. Everyone got different things - muffuletta, Bi Bim Bop Burger, Bi Bim Bop, several sandwiches; everything was tasty, fresh and cheap. They sell all manner of canned and bottled drinks and snacks to go with your meal. Growing up in Memphis I am well acquainted with the hole-in-the-wall culinary find, so I shouldn't have been surprised at the strong showing of Kwik Check. Go here! read more

Pretty much a dive (building is a former convenience store) but diverse menu with great sandwiches, sides. & home made desserts. Is my go to sandwich shop in Mid town. Tried many of them-it's hard to decide some times what to get. Turkey Rueben is probably my favorite. Spouse goes for the Memphis. Options for vegans/vegetarians. Korean food also very good. Lots of bottled drink choices & beer. Service friendly. Limited parking in front. read more

5, 5 'n' 5 Took us five years - yes, five - before finally giving in to Midtown peer-pressure and going to the little gem on Madison and Morrison. The only mystery here - why the hell did we wait so long? No reason. However, five consecutive Saturdays and five Gyros later we're hooked! Only on the streets of Manhattan have I had a lamb Gyro as good as Kwik Chek's. The 2021 boxscore so far, for two: 5 Saturdays, 5 Gyros, 4 Hoagies (The Memphis, The Turk (2x), The Greek), 1 Philly Steak sandwich, 10 bags of chips, 2 banana puddings, 1 slice of carrot cake, 3 issues of The Memphis Flyer Always friendly, always great, always efficient, and perfect for pandemic pickups to-go. Thank you, Kwik Chek, for being a Midtown staple. read more

Don't let the exterior of the shop keep you from walking inside! Driving by it looks like a gas station spot, but the food you get inside is top notch. The menu contains Mediterranean and Korean items with a variety of sandwiches as well. I've been by twice this past month and tried a different Korean dish each time, the kimchi fried rice that I added beef to and the bi bim bop. Both were incredible and came to the table in a sizzling cast iron pan or stone bowl. I'm a huge fan of kimchi and these dishes did not disappoint. I'll be going back very soon to try their kebabs or gyros! If you go for lunch, get there close to open at 11 or you may have to wait a bit as the place fills up. read more

I brought my boyfriend here for his first time and after years of faithfully patronizing this establishment I can say it hasn't changed a bit. Scored major points for showing him this restaurant! I usually get the beef bi bim bop or the ninja, but we also tried the veggie mandu this time and they were incredible! read more

Is it a restaurant? Is it a convenience store? Who knows. Who cares. What Kwik Check is though is really good. The food totally makes up for the strange convenience store vibe, but I think most people get their meals to go. I just wish it were open 24- hours and sold gas. read more

Excellent spot! Really a gem to have in Memphis. Menu has a bit for everyone, and some great vegan options! Also excellent prices and friendly staff. read more

Delicious food, decent service. They have a variety if menu items that you don't usually see on the same menu. But i have never gotten anything I didn't like. My favorite is the Hey Zeus wrap read more

Kwik Chek is located on the outskirts of Overton Square. Put in your order, grab a Memphis Flyer newspaper, sit at the counter and people watch Madison Avenue passers by, as you munch on a tasty sandwich. I've been going to Kwik Chek for a decade. It's one of my go-to sandwich shops. They don't just have sandwiches, they have grab-and-go items, and hot noodle/rice/veggie dishes. I hear their hot meals are incredible. However, I'm a sandwich girl so that's my main focus for this review. Aside from the menu of specialty sandwiches, you can make your own. Dine in or get your food to-go. They have subs, rolls and sliced bread. You can keep your sandwich cold or have it toasted in what I think is a pizza oven. I order two sandwiches on the regular: The Veggie Delight or The Turk. The Veggie Delight is out of this world. Vegetables mixed in a Greek yogurt-type sauce with hummus wrapped in a pita. YUM!!!!! The Turk is a turkey sandwich on a roll that's crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. A sandwich is but a lonely slab of layered fodder without tasty chips and a drink. Kwik Chek has a wall of chips with all kinds of varieties. They also have a wide variety of drinks and sweets, from candy to baked cookies and cakes. The cakes are so good. I also love the grab-and-go deviled eggs and salad, if I'm in a rush. FYI...Orders usually take 15-20 minutes. Parking is slim pickings. If you're happy with your order, consider leaving a buck or two in the tip jar for the sandwich team. A sandwich, chips and drink usually cost $10-$11. Kwik Chek is worth a try! read more

Best muffuletta ever. Will feed 4. Total hidden gem! You gotta try this for delivery or takeout!

It's ok... Just I know real price of Korean food..... It was really expensive and small portion... I'm little disappointed.. read more

I got a veggie pita here. It was very good, except It was saturated in sauce. There was so much sauce, I couldn't eat it all. If I get one again, I'll ask for the sauce in the side, otherwise it was very good! read more

This is our go to place for ordering in on days we don't want to cook! My husband and I love it. I get the half muffuletta and my husband gets the bibimbop. It's always !! Their pita & hummus plate is also so so good! And we love their fried Mandus!! We order at least once a week! read more

The Bi Bim Bop was delicious I highly recommend it specially if you like a little spicy in your food!

I get roped into ordering food from here at least once a month because my boss perpetually chooses it as our "in-office lunch treat" option. It's generally meh. I've usually order the ninja sandwich which does it's job. The bi bim bop is good! read more

Came here on our way through Memphis and I am so glad we did! The Bi Bim Bop was absolutely incredible. Super authentic, flavorful, fresh and hot! Affordable too! Great little gem serving up Korean dishes, Mediterranean food and sandwiches. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I've been coming to Kwik Check for over 40 years. These people are absolutely Wonderful. I sampled the majority of the menu over the years and all the food has been fabulous. Keep up the Great Work! read more

This place has become more consistent since my first time visiting. To dine in feels like Korean food gas station (in the best way) meets grab a beer! I appreciate the simplicity of fresh, unique food being served. read more

Kwik Chek - Bi Bim Bop w/tofu - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I was looking for somewhere new to eat so I told my friend to map a place without telling me so it'd be a surprise. We ended up here and it was a pleasant surprise. I got the Bi Bim Pop and it was delicious to say the least. The light but filling meal gave a variety of flavors unlike anything I've had before. The person who took my order was very nice and helpful with explaining the choices available and suggested the Bi Bim Pop. The seating environment was very comfortable and welcoming. I'm definitely coming back soon. read more

Kwik Chek - Bi Bim Bop - Mediterranean Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

The food was really good here. I got the half muffuletta and the veggie dumplings. I was surprised by how delicious the dumplings were and the muffuletta was a lot of food but really good also. It's pretty limited seating but the table turnarounds are quick. The service is pretty fast also. I like that you have a lot of options for drinks and sides. Will definitely be back soon read more

First of all the food is good. It's popular for lunch and to go orders. It gets one star less because of the cleanliness and gnat & fly population read more

I just love kwik check. I have so far tried the muffaletta (sp?), bi bim bop, and gyro...all were delicious, and I know it's hard to imagine that one place could nail all three of these dishes but THEY DO. can't wait to eat my way through the rest of this menu, it's heaven. (EDIT: okay I found one thing they can't do...don't order the wraps. I got the california dreamin wrap on my most recent visit and it was a MESS: hot lettuce, super greasy, fell apart in my hands. yuck. skip that entire section of the menu.) tip: if you don't love spicy, just ask for the bi bim bop sauce on the side (it's a REALLY good sauce...almost like a hoisin sriracha...but I find the given amount to be too much for me). tip 2: the muffalettas are huge, like we're talking a 10" circular sandwich. usually enough for 2 servings. they sell em in halves for a reason! read more

Walked in, waited about 5-10 min before someone finally came out and said "everyone waiting on an order?" And I said "I'm waiting TO order." She walks away. Another woman walks out and starts greeting her friends (who were behind us in line) and taking their order, so we left. Won't be back. I don't care how good or cheap your sandwiches are if this is how you treat customers. read more

Some yummy ass food. Service is nonexistent though. Nobody to clean the tables or take your order

I was looking to eat something a little different than the usual, and Kwik Chek did not disappoint!!! The California Dreaming Wrap was amazing, very flavorful! Everything I tried was good! Staff was friendly helping us narrow down what to try, not to mention it's very affordable! I will be back! read more

Seriously if you see any bad reviews for this place, don't listen to them. Have never been disappointed here. They cook everything to order so it might take some time to get your food but it will be hot and fresh and will never disappoint. Prices are not much higher than any other restaurant in the area. Try the kimchi fried rice :-) read more

It's definitely worth it. The food is good. Don't expect much as far as the atmosphere because it's old, a few tables, and it's a Kwik Chek but it's worth the visit. It would be nice if the staff were a little more personable. A little bit more customer service to make you feel welcome. Maybe a Little more pleasant when you've never been before and you have questions. Again, definitely worth it otherwise. read more

So glad my son took me here for lunch. It was cold outside and the wonderful Korean food hit the spot. It's a little hole in the wall, looking like a gas station convenience store than a restaurant. It lacks atmosphere but the food more than compensates. Order at the counter and everything is freshly prepared. I chose the Korean Soup with a side order of Vegetable Mandu to share. My son went with the Bi-Bim-Bop Burger a local favorite. Lots of canned and bottled drinks/beers to choose from. Portions huge, prices not. If you want great cheap food, ask a local student. read more

Amazing midtown staple and despite how great the Greek and Korean fare are, they also craft the best and most underrated muffuletta in Memphis. I've lived and eaten in midtown for 20+ years and if your beef with Kwik Check is service-related then I have one piece of news for you: you're an idiot. Shut up. Order the muffuletta, the bi bim bap burger, the Kimchee burrito, the gyro, the falafel, the pulled pork or literally anything else and then sit down and wait as long as you have to to receive one of the best and most affordable gourmet meals in the city. And if you get yelled at? It's your fault, pretty boy. Go to chipotle next time. read more
