My order came out immediately after I ordered, which explains the dryness of the chicken--probably had it pre-made, sitting out, and ready to assemble. The water and/or ice used in the fountain drinks also have a really bad taste--how I would imagine toilet water to taste like. However, the taste/flavors of the sauces and slaw were good, which is why I am writing this review for this specific location only. The girl at the cash register was also nice. Whoever is overseeing the franchisees needs to do some better QC.

Make sure to specify if you're ordering over phone! Overall, everything was good and a good portion for two people. This seems to be a busy location as the entire store was packed when I went to pickup at noon. It also has a large plaza with plenty of parking. American Express is accepted here.

The 도가니탕 (ox knee bone soup) was fantastic. You can immediately appreciate the time and care that…read morewent into preparing the broth. It was rich, deeply flavorful, and served unseasoned enough to let you adjust the salt and pepper to your own preference. If you're new to 도가니탕, the generous size of the meat and tendon pieces might be a bit surprising. For me, however, the larger cuts were perfect. The accompanying dipping sauce of radish, soy sauce, vinegar, and wasabi was an excellent complement, cutting through the richness of the meat and adding a refreshing contrast. The 반찬 are apparently made in-house, and you can taste the difference. Everything was fresh and well prepared, especially the quality of the 고춧가루 they use. My only gripe? No soju. It may just have to be my new breakfast spot.

I had the pork cutlet, and it was really good, especially since this isn't a restaurant that specializes in pork cutlet. My husband had the spicy octopus in a hot stone bowl.

This place is a charming aesthetic when you walk in. It's got some good lighting, not bright, just calm, at least to me. The decor is itself is beautiful, simple, yet beautiful. Service is good! Everyone is nice, they're always on the move, but always willing to help when needed. Food, I never had a bad thing here. And oh my goodness, a one page menu, decision fatigue has lessened! The simple go to for a lot of us has been the Katsu Curry. It's big, but never skimps on flavor. The texture is perfectly crispy, and the meat is juicy! The curry is full of flavor, and all of that with rice, is served in a big stone bowl. So it stays warm your whole meal. Garlic Su Yuk has been a comfort dish since say 1 for me. It's just comfy, with the toppings, I just need to add rice and that's my happy meal. Tofu Stew is that thing I get if I'm either craving soup, or I really need to open my chest because asthma is a pain in the booty. You get that bowl of rice, so I like to add the fried egg to that, let me say that yolk from the egg is an enhancement. The dish is perfect, but egg elevates it! So overall, this one of my comfy food spots. I know the Katsu is viral, but try the other delicious foods here too! You won't regret it!

I went to Dawa Kitchen a few years ago with my younger sister and dad, and I'm glad this place is…read morestill in business and that their portion sizes are still incredibly massive! We ordered the chicken katsu curry, beef soup (galbi tang with glass noodles), and dawa chicken. All three dishes were shared family style and we had a good amount of chicken katsu curry to take home as leftovers for my friend's partner to eat for his dinner. Can you believe that a group of seven women only had to pay $71.86 total (including tax and the automatic gratuity for our party size that was 5+ people) for that much food? We each paid $10.27 for our portion and that's highway robbery in this economy. In terms of customer service, I'll say that our server was incredibly friendly when he was present, but he admittedly came by literally only three times during our visit: when we had to dramatically flag him down to order, when he dropped off our food when it was ready, and when we had to flag him down to pay for our check. I'm so glad they had a handheld terminal for us to use for checkout because we might have passed out from heat stroke if we waited any longer, lol. There are always trade-offs in this life, I suppose. We'll be back soon!

Always have to visit Mr BBQ in Fullerton when I visit SoCal…read more Amazing service, the waiter was quick to bring our food and refilled our waters and banchan seamlessly. The lunch price is hard to beat, what a value for $30 per person. The quality of the meat is top notch for the price. That's why they emphasize its Premium AYCE. Kimchi stew was nice and spicy, and steamed egg was perfectly cooked. There were a lot of banchan dishes and there were free refills. Salad is on the side to balance out the meat. A lot of people celebrate their birthdays at the restaurant, they put a candle on then complimentary ice cream everyone gets and you can choose a song to play as they bring out the dessert. Very fun vibe. During lunch when it's not that busy, you don't feel pressured to finish eating in 90 min. But wait times can get over 3 hours for dinner time if you arrive later.

I went with their "Combo B", which came with three types of pork for $69. They grill the meats for you and the meat was nicely crusted with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. It's perfect. What brings the experience to another level is their pickled vegetables, kimchi, and scallion salad, which brings acidity to balance out the fatty pork. Then you also have some nice seasonings (soybean paste, wasabi, salt, and seasoned soy) to give some other flavor variations to the meat. We asked for a side of rice, which was perfectly steamed. This was a great meal that was worth the cost.

My favorites were the salt, garlic oil salt, and wasabi, but I truly loved them all. There many different options and so much variety that I never got sick of the meat. The kimchi tofu stew was also a great addition and had meat in it too, which made it so hearty and rich. I would definitely come here again!

The food was fresh and delicious I really enjoyed my torro and the miso base soup, I also like the variety of additional sauce they provide without having to ask for them.

I'm sure it was probably on the menu but they took those promptly after we ordered. So would have been nice to have been told but just a note
