I can't say the flavors are very authentic but I do appreciate that they give you big scoops of all the sides. Overall, its not bad for lunch although I would say its very comparable to other fast casual places in the city.

I ordered the A3 meal to try the four kinds of meats (eg kalbi, bulgogi, chicken, and spicy pork). All were tasty and went well with the aoili, purple rice, and sides of veggies (eg pickled radish and carrots, potatoes, broccoli). The rice soaked up the grease from the meats, which was complemented by the boiled veggies to help cleanse my palate. I barely had room for their banana pudding. I'll have to come back for their burgers and truffle or garlic fries too. Service was friendly, fast, and efficient. I ordered and the 15 minutes felt like 5 minutes for me to be in and out for a quick bite. The electronic payments made it easy too.

You don't need to download an app, just sign up for their Rewards on their website or at the register before making a payment. This is the healthiest Korean meal I can find in Murray Hill, Manhattan. Some items are gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Good service from the eatery staff. The place wasn't busy during dinner hours. Just note, there are restrooms available for customers only. I love the comfortable and cozy atmosphere. The Gim-Bap (Korean Rolls) are delicious and healthy! On top of that, meals come in compostable fiber takeout bowls along with disposable utensils made of plastic, except for chopsticks made of wood. If you care about cutting waste, the same as I do, it makes sense to carry reusable utensils made of stainless steel.

Back when I had the chance to study in the U.S., Korean grocery stores--outside of places like Los Angeles--were pretty limited and small. So the kind of Korean food we had access to was often a bit "Americanized": doenjang stew made with ingredients like button mushrooms, bean sprouts, American-style tofu, zucchini, and sometimes even mixed with miso to soften the smell and make it more familiar to locals. This place reminds me exactly of that era. It's a simple, cafeteria-style spot where you can sit down, eat comfortably, and not worry about tipping or anything complicated. I studied in the Pacific Northwest, but now that I find myself coming to New York frequently for business, this is definitely one of those places I feel like stopping by every now and then. If I remember correctly, it's still run by the same owner (an older Korean lady), which makes it even more special. Personally, I tend to prefer squid stir-fry or bulgogi over pork dishes--maybe not the most typical Korean guy preference--but the spicy pork here is honestly outstanding. If you're visiting or on a business trip, instead of paying premium prices for Korean food that isn't even fine dining, I'd recommend places like this--similar to how Korean students used to go to Gam Mee Ok or the Chinese restaurants in Flushing. For just a couple of dollars more than a Taco Bell combo, you can have a comforting Korean meal that really helps you recover from travel fatigue. Think of this place as New York's version of "Kimbap Heaven"--simple, satisfying, and worth coming back to.

I've gotten their poached chicken over rice, roasted chicken over rice, and mixed (poached/roasted) chicken over rice. All delicious and all reasonably sized and made. You cannot compare this place to Chinatown because let's be honest, the rent in Chinatown and here is vastly different. For what you get here, it's great.

You order at the kiosk and then they call your number when it's ready - usually within a minute since the menu isn't too extensive. I got the lemon fried chicken rice and it comes with a soup and three sauces - one of them is super spicy so caution to that. The chicken and rice was good, the soup was very flavorful, but I think it's very pricey for what it is, but I get it - it's midtown, but there's places nearby that will give you more food and variety for a lower cost.

Every time I'm near K-Town, this is my go-to spot for kimbap. It honestly feels like a comforting break from all the commercialization and big franchises around the area--like a small business that still feels homemade, and I'm more than happy to pay cash only for it. Food: 5/5 My usual order is either the beef kimbap or the eel roll, and both are consistently great. It's surprisingly hard to find good eel, but theirs always hits the spot. What I really appreciate is how light and clean the food feels afterward--I never feel bloated or heavy. You can literally watch them make everything fresh right in front of you, which makes it feel even more satisfying. The rolls are super fresh: the rice is well-seasoned, the seaweed has that perfect crispness, and the sesame oil ties everything together in such a simple but intentional way. It's just really good, straightforward food done right. Service: 4.5/5 The service is very simple and efficient--in the best way. You place your order, and it's ready within minutes. It's not a sit-down, lingering kind of place, which is exactly the point. The team is quick, friendly, and keeps things moving smoothly. Vibe: 5/5 This is a true grab-and-go spot, and it excels at that. There's something refreshing about how no-frills it is in a neighborhood that's otherwise very busy and commercial. It feels like a hidden gem that prioritizes food over anything else. All in all, I absolutely love this place. It's fresh, consistent, affordable, and intentional in the best way. It's my perfect K-Town stop when I want something quick but comforting, and I'll definitely keep coming back.
