The menu was small so it was quick to order even with the kiosk. The wait for the food wasn't bad either, we ordered, ate and was out of there within an hour. Everything we ordered was delicious! The gahn-jang steak was charred to perfection and you can taste the savory and sweetness of the ganjang. The corn cheese was also amazing; first one I had that's seasoned the cheese itself. The bulgogi was good too but very basic. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu!

The onigiri is art. And the service is always polite and professional. Always. I was physically at the restaurant the night these one star people were there. From what I could tell sitting at the bar and observing the ID in question, it looked fliiiimssy even from where I was sitting. I kinda get both sides ya know , sure one person in the group wants a drink w dinner but dude just tough it out and have your dinner. Instead they popped off and all started fussing and being entitled and it was just gross. I was enjoying a fantastic dinner but that table was like trying to take the stage. I think they ended up storming out and one girl like stomped off and said she was keeping her cup !! lol I worked in food a long time ago. And I've worked in cannabis under the watchful eye of the olcc so I'm on the servers side. Don't take chances and don't listen to these kids scramble for a secondary ID. Sketch. Go to obon.

So of course I had to come back and get the full feast w/ a bit of everything. It is not cheap at $85 but it's a shit ton of food - there were 3 of us & we didn't even finish half, easily made another 5 meals out of it. It comes w/ fried fish & fried chicken, chicken wings, ribs, corn on the cob, green beans, baked beans, potato salad, collard greens & some dessert & 2 drinks. And everything was soo good. Fish was my fav and the ribs were so tender and glazed w/ a sweet type of honey mustard that was very tasty. All of the sides were so good too only wished there was a bit more of each as they were gone much quicker than the meat. The only thing that wasn't exceptional was the wings, & they were still pretty good.

You can absolutely smell the fish and vinegar as soon as you walk through the door, which I think gives the place a very homey pub feel. I ordered a spiked peach Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed (and it was pleasantly strong) and a glass of the house white, which was good for the price. Our server was very fast and attentive. To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

HOWEVER - This is very different than your box of Kraft. This is more like the kind of macaroni and cheese that you get at Thanksgiving. Ooey, gooey, and oh so good. The add-ins create endless options for an infinite number of creations. And truth be told, you could probably split one of these damn things four ways. Then you would all be in for like five or six bucks. But for me, I like to get a bowl all to myself, eat about a third of it at midnight when I'm craving it. Then, the next day, I'll have the next third for breakfast with a fried egg over it. And then I'll have the remainder for lunch. So I've basically sustained myself for 24 hours for 20 bucks and it's bloody delicious. By the way, I heartily recommend the chicken nugget add-on. I'm not even that huge of a chicken fan myself, but oh my god I love these chicken nuggets. They're tender and juicy and full of flavor and they're the perfect little protein bomb on top of that big fat bowl starch to make it feel like an actual balance meal. Of course the pulled pork is also a good choice for the same reason, but whereas I have had plenty of other pulled pork that was just as good or better I literally have never had a better chicken nugget than here at Mac'd

I have worked in customer service for over seven years and this is honestly one of the worst ways I've been treated while ordering. It was my first time there and I still knew what I wanted, but he was so rude and pushy we should've just left!
