    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.

    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

    Kanpai in Boca Raton was such a fun dinner, especially if you like the whole cook-your-own-food…read moreexperience. We did Japanese BBQ and ordered a mix of meats, shrimp, vegetables, and all the little sides that come along with it. Everything cooked up really well on the grill, but the steak was easily one of my favorites, tender, flavorful, and even better with the dipping sauces and wrapped in lettuce. We also ordered sushi to start, including a spicy tuna roll and a shrimp tempura roll. Both were fresh and a nice way to start before getting into the BBQ. And obviously, we had to finish with s'mores. They bring everything to the table and you roast the marshmallows right over the grill, which was such a cute way to end dinner. The one downside was the cleanliness when we were being seated. We actually had to change tables twice because there was still food and debris on the floor around the tables that had been missed during cleaning I suppose. It wasn't the best first impression and definitely something they could pay a little more attention to between guests. Aside from that, the food itself was really good and the Japanese BBQ made for a fun, interactive dinner.

    We had never been to this restaurant before, but a Groupon showed up and it looked interesting so…read morewe decided to give it a try. The restaurant is in a very, very busy area and the first thing we noticed walking in is how loud it was inside we asked to be seated in the rear where it was a little bit more quiet. After being seated, our server came quickly with a request for beverages and some menus. We didn't wait long at all. The service was good and friendly. We decided to try some things that we had not had before to see just what it would be like here at this particular restaurant and the results were a bit mixed but overall good. I had the Mongolian beef and I was happy with the dish. It was plentiful. The quality of the meat seemed good and the flavors were OK not amazing. My sweetheart had a fried rice and shrimp dish and while the tastes were OK, we were surprised at how few shrimp were in the dish. The food came hot and it came quickly and the presentation was very nice as you could see from the photos when we go back? the answer is probably. My suggestion is try this restaurant midweek when it's not so loud and see if you like it. It's open to the street and they have ample outdoor dining, which is nice but it was too muggy for us to sit outside that particular day. We didn't try their cocktails, but the people around us were enjoying them and they looked excellent. I hope you give it a try and comment or let me know what you think!

    We had a good lunch here. They were not busy when we first came…read more We had very pleasant service. The sushi bar was fast, but the kitchen was a bit slow; however we were not in a hurry. The restaurant is small and cozy. It's located on the west side of US1/Federal Highway. Sitting inside, you would not know you were on a busy street. After looking at their lunch specials menu, we decided to choose one of these items. So we really didn't even look at their regular menu to see what else they have, We each decided to get one of their bento box lunches. They also offer poke bowls and some sushi roll combos. I got their salmon teriyaki box. In addition to the salmon in one of the compartments, there was a California roll, 2 gyoza pieces, house salad, and edamame. In the middle of the box was wasabi and ginger slices. It was a lot of food. Everything was good, but I think I'd get the gyoza steamed instead of fried next time. My husband's box had all the same selections as mine, but instead of the salmon, he got sashimi. There were 6 lovely pieces of fresh raw fish -- tuna, salmon, and a white fish. He said it was very good. I'm glad we stopped here for lunch. It was a good choice.
