    Combo
    Cheryl E.

    Ordered the 9pc soy garlic wings and the galbi combo, and it was roughly around $45. That was little steep in my opinion. The flavor of the wings were great. Slightly sweet, and savory. But when I think of Korean fried chicken I think of crispy/crunchy wings. These were just soft. And not even because the sauce made them soggy, they were just not crisp at all. So that was a miss for me. The gable combo was just ok. Came with a decent amount of meat but the sides weren't my favorite. The kimchi had an off taste, and the japchae definitely wasn't fresh. Almost as if it was previously refrigerated and they tried to heat it up to make it palatable to serve but the noodles were still stuck together. The rice had a hard patch on it so you can tell it was just over exposed to heat just sitting in the rice cooker that it dried out. The bean sprouts were tasty though and the broccoli still had a good crunch. I'm glad it wasn't over cooked. The restaurant space is quaint. And we had came in on a Saturday afternoon and there was only one other table there prior to us. So we were able to sit anywhere and our food came out at a reasonable time. So service is good but unfortunately the food fell a little short to me.

    Boneless soy garlic fried chicken combo

    Came here on a Wednesday for lunch and it wasn't really busy. Came mainly for the lunch combos and kimbap. I got the boneless garlic soy chicken lunch combo with a tuna kimbap on the side. I love how it came with different banchans, kimchi, bean sprouts, broccoli, japchae, gyoza, and rice. The chicken was nice and juicy and still crunchy. The kimbap came a few mins later as they made it and it was so good too! It came with some broth on the side. I saved half of the meal for later because it was so much. Would come back to try other things on the menu and the same things as well. My coworker got the tofu soup and she liked the banchans as well.

    F2. CRISPY CHICKEN

    Me and my girls love to try new Korean spots around the city and my oldest went here on her own one day and brought some back. I tried it and immediately knew I'd be trying them myself. They were out of something and I can't recall what it was but they were nice enough to give some sauces and radish on the side. They're a smaller spot with some pretty cool wall decor, it was nice and clean inside and staff is friendly and helpful. Each time I've gone I've tried a new flavor of chicken and can say they're all pretty tasty. My littlest ones really liked the fried seaweed roll which can be a little snack or just a side either way they're a nice crunchy extra.

    S4. BULGOGI
    Krystal W.

    Yang nyum chicken 9/10, soy garlic chicken -9/10, Tteok-bokki - 10/10, soon du bu - 7/10, bulgogi -4/10. The fried chicken was good and I recommend trying. The highlight was the Tteok-bokki. It had just the right amount of fish cake and rice cakes. The bulgogi was VERY dry. I hope they fix it. The soon du bu was a little blander than expected. The restaurant itself was interesting. I walked in thinking it was a fast casual restaurant because the waitress took our orders at the cash register but then served us water and our dishes. I thunk

    Came here for lunch and it was pretty quick to get my food. I saw they have popular Korean street food here so gave it a try. Sodukk sodukk: B Two skewers of crispy rice cake and mini sausages, covered with a sweet and slightly spicy sauce. I've seen this in Korea food videos, and while nothing mind blowing I did enjoy this a lot. Extra crispy boneless chicken: B- Super crispy exterior as promised, and chicken was very juicy and tender. By itself it was a bit bland to be honest. After I tried it with the hot sauce packet I would say it was enjoyable.

    As soon as I walked in, I wasn't greeted at all, then was finally acknowledged after I was looking at the menu. The cashier/server gave her recommendations on which chicken wings order & made sure I had everything I needed at my table. You order & pay at the front first, then sit anywhere. 6/10 - S2 Yang Nyum Chicken with sides: the chicken was 10/10, it was delicious! The sauce was a nice balance of sweet, sticky, & slightly spicy; other than that the sides dish (broccoli, bean sprout, & potstickers), kimchi, & japchae were not good; kimchi was bitter, japchae lacked flavor, & the potstickers were meh. 9/10 - Fried Seaweed Rolls: these were cute tasty nuggets of goodness; the shape of them made them fun to eat. 8/10 - Sodduk Sodduk: the sauce is very similar to the sauce of the Yang Nyum Chicken; rice cakes were crispy, but slightly hard; sausages were yummy.

    Galbi plate
    Charlene G.

    Wanted a quick, not too fancy, local spot for dinner. Found Ttobongee on Yelp and thought we'd support a local spot. Spot looked busy- good sign. BBQ smell was evident and inviting. Prices were on the high end for a "fast food Korean" spot. They were short staffed because some of the tables needed to be cleaned and there was only one person who served as the cashier/busser/etc. She said she was new - sweet girl, was working hard. Ordered 2 short rib plates and a spicy pork plate. Came out to about $60. Spicy Pork: Good flavor, not too sweet, would get again. Galbi (short rib): Have had better but was still good and satisfying. I enjoyed all the side dishes that accompanied the plates: daikon, jap chae (although noodles were noticeably over cooked), broccoli, and kim chee. I would say a smidget overpriced for the quantity but would still come back because of location to my home. Left satisfied!

    Food was okay and good until I got finished with everything and ate the japchae. There's a thick rubber black glove piece that looks like it's been soaking in something wet for ages. Serious health concern at this restaurant.

    YANG NYUM CHICKEN
    Dalena H.

    This place hit the spot for korean fried chicken. Wasn't too busy on a late Friday night. Food came out very quickly especially since we ordered fried chicken. I got the yang nyum meal which comes with 4 wings, 4 sides, 2 gyozas, and rice. The sweet and chili sauce was delicious. Was not spicy at all. Pretty good sized wings. Don't think it's double fried though. I sadly did not like the kimchi that came with my combo. It was sour and bitter.

    Whole chicken
    Linh N.

    Their individual chicken pieces are worth it. The whole chicken is very small more like a hen but it's still very moist and delicious. Their beef short ribs were flavorful. F Overall flavor is great but price point is high for the amount of food you're getting.

    S8. SEAFOOD TOFU SOUP
    Laura T.

    I got the seafood tofu soup to eat there and some chicken to take home. The tofu soup was great! They didn't have beef so I had the seafood and it had a lot of protein in it. A good variety of seafood too. The soup was very filling and the side dishes were nice too. I got Maip Dak half chicken to go and boy am I crying! It is so spicy! The burn lasts for a few minutes too. The chicken is nice and tender & was cooked really well. The interior is small but there is plenty of seating.

    Galbi plate
    Anthony W.

    Three flavors of chicken I tried was pretty good. I had the original crispy, yang nyum, and extra crispy. I'd like to try some of the other flavors next time I'm there. The size of the chicken varies quite a bit, and you will find a few big drumsticks and a mix of wings and drumettes. We asked for the bulgogi plate and was disappointed they were out of it. Instead we tried the Galbi plate and it was decent with plenty of sides included. The joint is no-nonsense fast food with sit down available. The staff brings you the food and there's self service water available. Price are pretty high, seems a bit too much based on what you get, but I guess that's the current state of the Korean chicken market!

    This is a wing size. No bone and looks like it has been cut from an actual wing

One tip: make a reservation in advance. We were able to skip the long line, which made getting in quick and easy. My party of four was seated on the patio, but honestly, there's really no bad seat in the house. Tom's has TVs everywhere, so you'll have a great view of the game no matter where you're sitting. For food, we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, fries, fried pickles, and I grabbed a beer. Everything was tasty, but the standouts were definitely the fries and fried pickles. The fries came out piping hot, crispy, and fresh, making them surprisingly one of my favorite items of the meal. I will say the prices are on the higher side, but for a big sporting event, I think it's well worth it. The atmosphere was amazing, the crowd made the experience even more fun, and the service was exceptional. Even though the restaurant was absolutely packed, our food came out quickly, and our server checked on us frequently throughout the game. Overall, I'd highly recommend Tom's for your next watch party. Between the atmosphere, plenty of TVs, solid food, and attentive service, it's a great place to catch a big game.

Problems with ordering: need a bigger menu or bigger writing. Person taking orders needs to speak louder or use a microphone. Couldn't hear anything over the music.
