Pros: We typically get seated right away, good portions, good banchan (the cucumbers are my favorite), flavorful food (Galbi is 5/5), friendly staff, a water pitcher at your table so you don't have to frequently ask for refills, and the place stays consistently busy. No cons that I can think of. Have tried other dishes like the bugolgi and bibimbap during the weeks after their grand opening which were good but the Galbi by far is our favorite (so so flavorful!) along with their banchan. It's in a small shopping center which can be hard to miss but if you're in the area or want to try Korean, this is the place!

The TV is always on for background noise and I personally like that. Makes conversations less awkward. The food always comes out fresh and I don't mind the wait. There's always one cook and wow; they work fast for 2-3 people only working non-stop. I ordered the beef tofu soup and bibimbap. OMG, the soup is SOOO GOOD! a whole tofu and actually beef meat in it. No beef brisket (thin slices). 10/10 soup broth and spice level. And yes, they do charge for rice bowl :) the Bibimbap is awesome as well. The food hits you in the right spot of home cooked meals. You will not be disappointed please go support them!

Need a good Korean food fix? It's definetly this place!…read more Tucked quietly behind a row of buildings is this little Korean hidden gem that truly feels like home. The resturant is owned by two of the sweetest couples, and you can genuinely feel the warmth and care the moment you walk in. The pop is the chef and the ma is the waitress. The wait time could be a bit longer than other places. Even though the shop is small and not always crowded, the food speaks for itself! It's absolutely amazing! SIDE DISHES :: They serve a selected menu of authentic Korean dishes, and every single seasoning feels perfectly balanced. You can tell everything is made with care and experience. Even the side dishes stood out to me. The fermentation and seasoning are on point! Fresh, flavorful, and not overly vinegary or sour like store bought one. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and comforting. The side dishes comes with fermented kimchi, fermented bean sprout, fish cakes, and sweet fermented potatoes. All of their side dishes are really good! RATE : 5/5 SHRIMP FRIED RICE ($15.99) :: This plate is so simple yet so comforting too. It's not blasted full of flavors but it's perfectly and lightly seasoned. I can taste the light MSG seasoning on this dish. I love it how this plate is not supper oily like any other chinese fried rice. Besides that, there's nothing something special on this dish. If you have young kids and need a quick fix, this plate is not bad. It's not that fatty or oily. RATE : 5/5 SPICY RICE CAKE ($11.99) :: You have to ge this dish! I love their sauce! It's perfectly seasoned! Sweet, salty and spicy. The sauce is thick like they puree pears in it. I'm not sure what is made out of but the text feels like puree pears/apples/potato. The rice cake are perfect cooked! It's soft amd chewy. Very spongy. It goes so well with the sauce. On a note though, the spice level creeps up and could be a bit too spicy. RATE : 5/5 BLACK BEAN SAUCE NOODLE ($13.99) : I originally was looking for Paiks Black Bean Noodles but they closed it down. Im glad that this location have it. The sauce is amazing but i think the noodles are a bit too wet. They couldn't grip onto the noodle much. The whole experience on this dish is a bit disappointing because there not enough sauce and the noodle couldn't grip the sauce so the noodle taste like wet starchy sweet noodles. Besides that, i love the black bean sauce! RATE : 4/5 INTERIOR :: Is a bit out dated with plenty of seatings. Chairs are clean. Tables are well kept but still sticky and smells musty old towels. The bathroom location is located back in the hallway. It's a bit dark and creepy. They do have a few claw machine for activities. RATE : 2/5 SERVICE :: What a sweet couple but be aware that they might miss you. My group and i walked in and seated our self. There's no greeting. We have to flagged someone out from the kitchen. Samething when paying too. That's the difficult part. Their service is horrible but these two couples are really sweet. RATE : 2/5 OVERALL :: There's something really special about finding a quiet little spot like this. It may not be the busiest restaurant in town, but the quality, authenticity, and heart behind the food make it such a memorable place to visit. Definetly one of those hidden gems worth supporting!

You know, coming from years of LA Korean food and then Bay Area Korean food, the Korean food you…read moreget from Korea Mart just doesn't hit. What I mean is that there is something about the Korean food made here that just tastes a bit different than what you'd otherwise get or expect from a more traditional and authentic Korean restaurant. That said, Korea Mart seemed to start off as a Korean mini market, with a small focus on prepared meals. That may have gained some popularity and the owner decided to shift their focus more towards the prepared food and less on the mini mart. The problem is that the prepared food, while focuses on traditional dishes, just doesn't taste traditional. There is something off about the dishes. For example, the Jajamyun's vegetables were very off. It lacked zucchini and the cabbage wasn't enough. The kicker is that the onions weren't even diced. The onions were in big chunks-which actually works sometimes, but made the dish feel lazily and hastily put together. Then, the tubboki was too saucy. Flavor wasn't too bad, but was too saucy. Finally, they refuse to give you an itemized receipt until you finalize payment with a tip? They charge $2 for rice when they don't advertise it anywhere and they ask how many you want without telling you, and rice isn't an extra charge in most Korean restaurants. Just overall pretty disappointed. But then again, Korean restaurant in Fresno was probably a "my bad" decision. Oh well. As for ambiance. It felt like you were eating in the back of a mini mart. Super dark from the outside gave it a weird vibe.

I've been to plenty of KBBQs over the years, but honestly, this one was one of the worst I've been…read moreto. Right when you walk in, the atmosphere feels off. It's dark, almost like a ghost town. There was barely anyone there, and it made me question if I was in the right place. That should've been my first red flag, but I was still hopeful, so I decided to give it a try. The menu looked promising, but the experience quickly went downhill. The meats didn't taste fresh at all. Some cuts were tough, and others had a weird aftertaste, almost like they'd been sitting around too long. For a place that prides itself on BBQ, I expected way better quality. And don't even get me started on the service. It was basically non-existent. The staff didn't seem interested in being there, and we were ignored for long stretches of time. It felt like we were inconveniencing them just by being there. No refills, no asking if we needed anything, no checking in to see how our meal was. For a KBBQ, that's a huge miss. I really wanted to like this place, but it just didn't deliver on the basics, good food and decent service. I won't be coming back anytime soon.

Food ordered: Fire Chicken Combination Plate…read more Beef Yaki Udon Pickled Radish The fire chicken plate is always delicious. My siblings crave it at least once a month! I love the Yaki Udon and usually get it spicy. All their food is always made fresh to order and with lots of love. Service: The service is great! We are always immediately seated and offered drinks within the first few minutes upon entering. Throughout the meal, we weren't checked on. I wish they would put water pitchers on the table for the customers so we wouldn't have to always ask for a water refill. Unfortunately, there have been times where my family and I have gone but it's so busy and we never got refills for waters. Ambiance: Great, cozy, warm atmosphere. They have large flat screen tvs that usually play compilation videos on them. I wish they synced the tvs up to play kdramas or kpop on them instead. Every time I've gone, the tvs are usually turned off or playing funny/meme compilations from YouTube. I think many of their customers would enjoy a Korean show while eating Korean food! Maybe even play some mukbangs, as many young people nowadays enjoy watching those! My family and I are regulars, and we will always be back to support our favorite local Korean restaurant!

Everything came out so hot and I had to stop myself from burning my tastebuds by digging in immediately! The staff were very kind and helpful when I had questions about the menu. Our waitress was super attentive. Inside was nice and warm which was a great contrast to the cold, foggy weather outside. This place is definitely on my list of places to revisit next time I visit Fresno!

This place has been in my regular rotation since they opened and I have never had a bad meal here…read more The concept is a family style hot pot restaurant where you cook your own protein, vegetables or noodles in a flavored brother. You can pick between 1 and 4 different broths per pot. Each table has one cooking stove top, with the larger tables having two. The broths range from vegetarian to mild, to spicy to meat based. Everything is a la carte with the exception of some premade combinations bundling a variety of like items. There's various meat and veggie combos as well as a seafood combo. I always order the veggie combo which comes with a lot that's easily shareable between 4 people. It comes with various greens, mushrooms, cabbage, corn on the cob, cauliflower, and carrots. I don't eat red meat so I stick to their sliced chicken breast or the shrimp balls. My other favorite is the bean curd sticks which is a good meatless protein option. As for broths my two favorite are the Chinese Healthy Herb and the kimchi. I also like their salted crispy chicken appetizer (popcorn chicken). Steamed rice is also a must for me. They have a dipping sauce bar where you can make your own dipping sauce to accompany your hot pot. With the exception of the broth adding flavor, the meats and all the ingredients you add to your hot pot are unseasoned. It includes everything from soy sauce and fish sauce to garlic, fresh chilis, vinegar, and crushed peanuts. Whether you like to keep it simple, mild, or spicy there's a sauce you can create. The ambiance is pretty nice. It used to be a Chinese restaurant years ago and they did keep some of the things the same. They have 3 different TVs inside. The two larger ones on the walls each play a different Kdrama and the one above the register plays Kpop music videos. They do have one larger table that I think accommodates somewhere between 10-12 people (don't quote me on that) and another that can fit 6 or 7 people. Majority of the tables sit 4 and a couple sit 2. Depending what day and time you go, it can get pretty busy and you might have to wait a while. The staff is always friendly and helpful. At the end of the meal they give you orange slices and hard guava candy. Their orange slices are always so good too and a good palette cleanser at the end.

Huge shoutout to Joy for always remembering our orders and knowing we like to order right away and start eating right away too -- it's such a thoughtful touch that keeps us coming back. The portions are amazing and they definitely do not skimp on anything. Each pot comes with such a great variety, and I especially love the Fuzhou fish balls -- the meat filling inside is such a delicious surprise. We also love adding spam, fish cakes, and tempura to our pots. The unlimited sauce bar is another huge plus with so many options for every type of sauce lover. Outside of the hot pot, the popcorn chicken and spicy edamame are absolute favorites for our family too. We became elite members, which gives a free appetizer every time you dine in -- such a great deal! Overall: generous portions, quality food, reasonable prices, and consistently excellent service. Definitely one of our favorite spots!

Reminds me of boiling point in the PNW. Missus and I showed up after I logged onto their website…read moreusing Toast and joining the waitlist. When we arrived our table was ready but I heard that groups just joining the waitlist had to wait between 15-20 min. Given that this was the holiday weekend in May on a Saturday, make sure you use the online waitlist on their website! The restaurant itself is across from the entrance to Regal in the River Park mall - the missus wondered if this was the only mall in Fresno. It was certainly a bigger outdoor mall than what we usually had in Seattle. Anyway they have a complimentary sauce bar but it's somewhat sparse when you consider actual hotpot sauce bars. The vinegar / soy sauce are off on the side (hard to find). We ordered some appetizers, a classic Boba milk tea (50% off with hotpot purchase, a special until sometime later this year), and a hotpot for each of us. Given my peanut allergy we didn't risk anything from the deep fryer (only one, and they share it). That being said the hotspots themselves were fine. You pick the spiciness, your carb (vermicelli, white or brown rice), your meat/protein (beef, lamb, pork belly, chicken...), and your spice level. For the ones that the missus and I picked (jpot and the one next to it that says "founders favourite") the minimum spice is medium (which is way too high for me, happens to be very mild for the missus).. Service was great - the staff kept checking on us frequently. They don't give you chopsticks by default, so the wait staff asked if we wanted some (we did). The missus asked for an extra bowl and we received it promptly. The only "negative" was that we never got water refills... It was quite busy though, with a lot of folks waiting as we were leaving. That being said we were seated, ordered, served and paid fairly quickly. The parking sitch can be difficult - it's free but the mall parking in general near jpot is definitely sparse - we had to wait until someone left to take their spot.

I was unsure how to rate this place overall, so I decided on a middle of the road 3 stars…read more $35 per person, ayce, plus tax and tip. Discount for cash and 4% charge for credit (there is several signs at the entrance). Does not include alcohol or desert items. For 2 people, each with a soda (free refills), $83 cash or $86 credit (not sure if that included the 4% charge). We arrived little after 5 on a Sat. Was immediately seated with no reservation. There was multiple laminated menus on the table. Looked like each table seated 6, each with a grill and overhead exhaust vent. I could not hear any exhaust vent fans. Noise level was normal for a restaurant this size and a conversation could easily be had with other people at the table. With 2 people, able to order 3 meats at a time. Meats are brought out promptly and soda was refilled frequently. The grill tops were replaced frequently during the meal. The bad. It gets SMOKEY!!!! Not sure what's wrong with their exhaust, but it does not seem to work very well. The floor gets greasy slippery (I was wearing non stick shoes and was able to easily slide on the floor). The overhead exhaust fan... grease constantly dripped from the vent on the grill. They are obviously were not cleaned before that dinner service... we left smelling like we had sat in a bbq smoker. Because of that I would not recommend wearing nice clothes to this place unless you want them to smell like bbq for the next while. The bulguli was amazing!! I would skip on the ny steak. The chicken was surprisingly good. If you have never cooked seafood on a grill like that, you may want to skip the squid and octopus. The pork belly was basically thin sliced bacon. If I returned, I would stick with beef bulguli, spicy pork bulguli, and brisket or spicy bbq chicken. The spicy was not that spicy. Maybe a 2 out of 10. Like jalapeño spicy. The food and service was excellent. The smoke... this makes me rethinking on returning...
