I can't say enough good things about our experience here! I was in town with two friends for the…read moreSouthern Christmas Show and was desperately craving Korean BBQ. Neither of my friends had ever had it, so I knew we needed an AYCE so they could try a little bit of everything. We found 704 on Yelp and headed there! It's in a big shopping center, towards the back, with tons of parking. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated. I told our waitress, Kim, that we had two newbies, and the rest of the meal, she was as excited as I was for them to try things! We ordered a huge variety of items, including the soups, the cheesy corn, bulgolgi, pork belly, chicken, squid... everything that looked interesting :) It was so very very tasty! Since my friends were newbies, I cooked all our meats which they loved watching happen. The team working that evening were so quick that they replaced our grill several times throughout the meal without any impact to our enjoyment. We had so much fun that my friends are super excited to come back the next time we're in town! Another super fun thing that I didn't notice until we were leaving- the walls are decorated with really interesting artwork made of crushed cans! The front walls behind the hostess stand are entirely made of crushed bottles, and we were told that the restaurant team made it all happen! It's really unique to see.

Revisited for a late lunch...and noticed some changes, but not necessarily for the better…read more For one, I noticed that their entranceway is now super-cluttered...and just kind of a big mess! I wonder why they had so much clutter up front?? Just did not make a good impression as you walked in. Then the music...it's no longer K-Pop, but Rap (or heavier Hip Hop?). I've never been to a KBBQ restaurant that didn't play K-Pop...so that was a bit offputting (for me). Not only did it betray the theme of the restaurant (K-Pot??), I just thought it made the vibe feel a bit too hard and intense...not as chill and relaxing as before. Then the menu. Seemed that they got rid of the desktop menu...which I kinda liked. With my verbal orders, there were some mistakes. They brought out 2 orders of Spicy Fish and 2 orders of Calamari...which just made the table busier than it needed to be. Still, my waitress was fairly attentive...so no issues after that. I ordered my fave items...Spicy Bulgogi, Beef Brisket, Spicy Fish and Calamari, along with Pineapple and Broccoli. Plus, there's the AYCE table with side dishes and sauces...which made the whole experience busier than it needed to be?? Still, one of the strengths of this place is its abundance of side veggies! I enjoyed the meal...but I missed a few options normally found in more authentic Korean BBQ restaurants. Unfortunately, I felt that the ambiance was way off this time (messy entrance, harsh overhead music)...plus I think the A/C was off (or on too low). Sorry, but must dock a star this time.

My husband and I are big fans of their Bento Boxes...so we returned for more. As always there was a…read moreline, but this is one of very few places in town that's worth the wait. We both had the Chicken Bento Boxes again...and we loved it. I've had Bento Boxes in dozens of Japanese restaurants, but this place offers such a perfect combination of items (everything we love!)...Tempura, Kaarage Chicken, Shumai, Seaweed Salad, Sushi Rolls, etc.etc. Plus, this bento box includes the salad and soup! Frankly, I wanna try other items on the menu, but I'm so addicted to this Bento Box, I just can't seem to tear away from it. My husband feels the same! Also tried their hot Sake...but think I prefer the cold version. BTW, I noticed some renovations. They now have darker Cherry Wood (?) flooring and cabinetry (behind the sushi station, that is). However, they still have some original light wood chairs and tables. Also, they separated some of the tables (Yay!)...so not as many "communal" tables like before. Anyway, think this is a good sign that this place plans to stay awhile longer!

You can find sushi, Vietnamese noodle bowls, Mongolian, beef, and even roast Peking duck. come on! How cool is that? I have tried a few of the restaurants. I especially enjoyed the Thai. I have had the drunken noodles which were delightful. I was able to add Thai chilies which helped the level considerably. The owner recommends the basil chicken fried rice. I have also enjoyed the Laoatian food. The Laab is really good. I plan to eat my way across the entire hall. I am looking forward to sampling it all.

This experience completely changed my perception of Itaewon Bar & Food. After eating 5-6 popcorn chickens, I felt like this was really chewy! I didn't want to look down but I had to.

They gave me a refund but the damage was already done. I'll never eat here again and I won't be afraid to tell a friend to tell a friend.

I finally found a food vendor at Alley 51 that truly deserves 5 stars…read more.. I've tried several vendors by now, and so far, they've been more or less disappointing in taste, presentation and pricing (way overpriced). This place, however, hit all the right spots. We ordered the OG Smash Burger with Fries, and K-Street Egg Toast (w/ Ham), and Ginger Ale. Well, first of all, the pricing seemed fair ( food-court appropriate!)...something I can't say for some of the vendors I've tried so far. The burgers were more expensive than McDonalds, but less than that of a restaurant (as it should be!). Then their K-Street Toast was a STEAL. I say that because their Egg Toast was less than 7 bucks, yet Huge...so buttery, soft and fluffy too! Most importantly, these quality-packed burgers, egg toast AND fries were all absolutely delicious! Surprising...because you don't think Korean when you think of good burgers...but these burgers (and the fries!) were rich, savory and juicy...SO good! In fact, I'd put it right up there with Bang Bang Burgers and Ace #3 (my fave burger joints in town). Again, their K-Street Toast was quite the treat...it was luscious!! I'm already thinking about running back to try more items on their menu...like their Korean Chicken Sandwich and Bulgogi Cheese Fries. I'm not even a big fan of hand-helds, but this was the best meal I've had at this food court...and I didn't feel ripped off at the end of it!

I also shared their Seaweed Salad appetizer with my husband...and we both agreed that it was really fresh. Few things that could have been better? The overhead music wasn't right...genre (whatever that was playing?!?) was way off for the restaurant. Also, I felt that they might have been understaffed. The place was quite busy (Saturday night), and I didn't see too many waiters-waitresses. Despite the service being a bit slow, our waitress was friendly, and remembered everything that was requested...so not a big issue. Still, we really enjoyed this ramen experience. Really can't think of a time I thought their foods were bad.

Our usual Chinese food restaurant was closed, so I looked around and find Lee Cafe on Yelp…read more It was almost 20 minutes away, but the reviews were good and it looked worth a shot. We ordered the sesame chicken, pork fried rice, and Kung Pao chicken. All were good, and we would go here again. I would definitely recommend calling in your take it order. They don't have the ability to take it on their website, and their online delivery and takeout is through doordash. The markup DoorDash is putting on the menu here is obscene. Calling in the order and picking it up the total was $50. DoorDash price for pickup was a little over $60, and DoorDash price for "free delivery" was over $70.

I ordered the sesame chicken dinner, wonton soup and an egg roll. The egg roll was soooooo small...super lint and little. I co my s from a place where one egg roll can be shared by two people. Thick and super stuffed. Forget that. It doesn't exist here. The mini egg roll was dry and you couldn't even tell what was in it. The wonton soup broth had a great flavor but the wontons were not fresh. They were gummy in a creepy kinda way. Frozen with freezer burn was my best guess. The sesame chicken was super super super OVERFRIED. Dry as a bone inside. This had clearly been pre fried and then fried again and dipped in a sticky sauce with weird texture. Kind of tasted like sesame chicken but the texture of the sauce and the dry chicken were disgusting. I spit it out. This place is a nicer version of Panda Express. If you like Panda Express .....bless your hearts than you might love this place. Those of us who have been exposed to amazing Chinese food at super cheap prices are not loving the Chinese food offerrings here in the Carolina's. Yuck

Well, I couldn't stop myself from reordering my fave dish in all of Charlotte...the Spicy Fish Filet in Flaming Pan! I probably said this before...but not only delish, this is possibly the biggest steal in Charlotte. This entree comes with generous chunks of fried fish, with at least 6-7 veggie varieties...including the exotic Lotus...and all for just $19.99!! In any American restaurant, this type of entree (plenty of fish and veggie varieties?!?) would easily be priced over $40. I need to try other items on their extensive menu, but I am so hopelessly hooked on this entree!
