    Chicken Bibimbap
    Tiffany L.

    This is my favorite place to get bibimbap, the chicken one is my favorite out of all the korean spots i go to! Idk why but its super flavorful here compared to other spots...maybe because i get the stone pot option. Small restaurant on the palmetto strip on the way to the beach. Comfortable seating and lighting and they offer outdoor kbbq! Usually one server is taking care of the whole restaurant but friendly service nonetheless! Love coming here.

    Wow has this place gone downhill. I've been going here for years. I've gotten the same thing, bulgogi tacos. The quality was horrible. I couldn't eat it. The meat was completely some sort of hard cartilage, that first bite was a thick string that came right out of my mouth from the taco. That was all the meat. I was saddened that I had no taco left. I could have looked past a small piece, but my entire taco was gone. The staff wasn't very friendly even from when we first walked in. I just ate my other taco and took some of my husband's food. I wish this place was getting better not worse. I'm going to go back again and hopefully it will be better. But these last few times the staff has been very bad.

    This is one of our favorite Korean food restaurants. The food is delicious, service is fast, and never disappoints. We have our favorites, beef bulgogi bibimbap - a popular Korean dish meaning "mixed rice." We opt for the stone bowl where the rice crisps at the bottom. The bowl has white rice topped with various seasoned, sautéed vegetables, a fried egg, and marinated meat or tofu, all mixed together in a harmony with a spicy chili paste called gochujang. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. We also love the Kimchi fries. I consider myself a French fry connoisseur, and these are tops! Other dishes are really good, too. We've had scallion pancakes, dumplings, tofu with kimchi. All delicious. There are outside tables with table side BBQ. One of these days we'll try that. Korean beer is available along with sugary Korean soda options. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Reasonable prices. Nice size menu with vegan options, too. Parking available at the lot behind the restaurant. They also do a brisk takeout business.

    Spicy Pork (not spicy)
    Trevor M.

    Have been here twice recently and we were extremely happy! The spicy pork (not spicy) was excellent and the bulgogi was very good as well. The spicy pork hands down is definitely the favorite. Service the first time was excellent, the second time we were there the waitress a seemed like she really didn't want to work, even though we were the only customers eating at that time. Food was excellent so we will be back!

    Spicy Pork Red Bowl
    Jason P.

    Tacowa (Boca Raton, Palmetto Park Road near Mizner), Opened 2018. Time to cross this one off the list. Cute little Korean spot -- no lunch specials, but some all-day options that work for mid-day eats, like Korean tacos (an LA import) and rice/greens bowls. Rachel tried two tacos: *Spicy Pork - solid flavor. *Yangyum Chicken - fried chunks in a sweet/"spicy" gochujang glaze. Not really spicy, more sweet-leaning. I went for the Spicy Pork Red Bowl (pork bulgogi over greens + rice). It's described on the menu with a sriracha "yum yum" mayo on top -- I wasn't paying attention, so that's on me. I really don't like that sauce, so I asked them to remake it without, which they did without hesitation. Just a heads-up for others who might feel the same way. Banchan spread was a nice surprise: fish cakes, cucumber kimchi, napa kimchi, spicy horseradish noodle salad, bean sprouts, and marinated onions. Verdict: good first run. Will be back to explore more of the menu.

    A fun korean restaurant! Felt more commercial than a mom and pop place but it was nice and trendy! Good amount of inside and outside seating. They played kpop music at a decent volume. I don't like that genre of music so i was quite content. Service was quick! Fries came out first and were super delish. Crisp fries. Not so much bulgogi but i always want a lot of meat. i really enjoyed this take on kimchi fries ! The fresh tasting mango sauce was super awesome ! Good amount of kimchi for sure. We cleared the bowl. You do have to ask for bonchan (side dishes) but we were brought out several dishes! Fish cake, bean sprouts, kimchi, kimchi zucchini, and pickled onions. I got some soup! Bubbling ! Such a nice smoky flavor and the textures of the tofu and vegetables were quite nice! Served with a bowl of rice of course. Definitely a nice pit stop on the way home.

    Enjoyed the kimchi pancake. Will definitely try the scallion next time bulgogi and chicken barbecue we're both very good. It was challenging to keep the pilot light lit on a windy night. Good option for Korean barbecue in Boca

    First experience with Korean food, and I will definitely choose this place more often. Absolutely delicious food, good prices, and pretty cozy.

    Kimchi Fries
    John L.

    Came here on July 4th and the food was amazing! My favorite was the seafood pancake. Such crispy texture complemented by the moist pieces of scallion, shrimp, and squid. There was only 1 server this day, but he was awesome and would preemptively see to our needs before we even knew we needed it (extra utensils, frequent water fill ups, extra napkins, etc.) This place is small and quaint, but the flavors of the food are BIG! Will come again.

    Galbi Bibimbap
    Menghai T.

    I got the Galbi bimimbap on a stone bowl. It came out extremely hot, the stone bowl allowed the rice to get extremely crispy. The beef was flavorful but two of the three short rib were very chewy. The vegetables and eggs were seasoned well. Together the entire dish was very balanced and flavorful. Staff was friendly. The dish costed $20 plus $2 for the stone pot. Overall a good experience here and not super expensive considering the area. Food: 7.7 Staff/service: 7.5 Value: 7 Overall: 7.5/10
