I am in the area for the 2023 TMN annual meeting. On the day that I arrived, there wasn't anything…read morehappening, yet. I decided to drive over and eat some Korean food. I'll just cut to the chase and say this: this was the best Korean food I've ever had! I had Ja Jjang Myeong and bim- bab. They also served me several side dishes. I liked most of them. Some of them were a "why bother" type of thing. When I first walked in, a lady waved me to a table for eight. The furniture looked like they got their tables from a church fellowship hall. The chairs were folding chairs, also. the walls were decorated with K-pop posters. It was one of those places that had their piles of rice in the dining room. But, it felt really comfortable. They had two TVs showing Korean news. The lady who had waved me to the table, came and brought my kim-bab. I was shocked to see two rolls on the plate. They were huge. I expected one like I had had in San Antonio. She came back a little later with the Ja Jjang Myeong. It was in a huge silver bowl. It looked like a serving for four. As I stirred the noodles into the sauce, I saw that there were lots of chunks of pork and cubed potatoes, hiding in the sauce. The sauce was really tasty. It wasn't salty like the ones I've had in San Antonio. All in all, I have to say that bowl of Ja Jjang Myeong was a highlight of my culinary life! I liked that place so much, that I am probably going to go There for dinner this evening. The conference ends at 10 AM, so I have the rest of the day to myself. I'll do some exploring and head over there to try some other dishes. Everybody I saw from my chapter at the conference got to hear about my experience at the restaurant. I know that one member went there last night for dinner. She raved about it!

The prices are kind of high, but i think it because of the quality and preparation and extra sides included and such!!! But i recommend :)

The Korean fried chicken was dry, flavorless and seemed like frozen chicken. Also asked for wings and they brought out tenders. The bulgogi was dry, flavor was ok. There's really nothing more to say after that. Th sides were fine, the kimchi flavor didn't really stand out. The spicy tofu was dry and absent any noticeable flavor. Service was ok, took drink order and food order and didn't really stop by after that. If you stop by and don't notice this place wouldn't blame you one bit. It's a pass. About the only notable thing was they play k pop music videos on the wall.

Lots of Google reviews about a foul smell coming from the restaurant, that's completely gone now just in case you're wondering. Smells normal and AC works. The food is pretty good. Legit broth for the Miha special and the spicy beef hot pot. Really liked the fried tofu skins, sliced beef and fish cakes. Didn't try any boba. I make hot pot at home all the time and enjoy that more but it's really nice that this place is here now cause I don't always want to go through the effort of doing it at home. I'll be back to try the other dishes.

So glad this food truck came around. They're 1 of only 2 food trucks offering something no one else…read moreis. When the food truck park first opened, it was hard to be enthused. It was only tacos and burgers. Don't get me wrong, I love tacos, but you can get good tacos and burgers anywhere here. To me, food trucks are an opportunity to offer something unique and innovative. Nuri finally came around and did just that. The food is amazing! My husband and I have been waiting for food like this since we moved to McAllen from Miami almost 4 years ago. They ran out of the steak but we had the "karnitas" and the fried chicken. Delicious blend of Mexican and Korean. I highly recommend going to Nuri over the other food trucks.

We went around 8:45 PM and the Ambiance was nice and quiet. There was a strange odor. My main reason for the three stars is because it's so overly priced. It was a more one and done type of thing. Because to go again and pay those prices was just not it for me.

My favorite spot in town for Korean fried chicken!…read more Kiri Kiri never disappoints. The chicken is always made to order, so I usually order ahead on Toast to save time. I always get half garlic soy and half sweet & spicy--both perfectly crispy, flavorful, and super fresh. Their fried gizzards are amazing, and the pickled radish is the perfect refresh to go with everything. If you love Korean fried chicken, this place is a must. Consistently delicious, great portions, and worth every bite!

We were so excited to try a new Korean chicken place and this was such a let down…read more The chicken is very plain and unseasoned. There is nothing Korean about it. It is chicken you can get from any other chicken place. It is freshly made, but that is the only positive I have for the chicken. We tried the strips which were dry and the wings. 2/5 We tried the soy garlic and red hot spicy sauces. The soy garlic was an okay processed sauce. The red hot smelled and tasted like it is ketchup based, so for me, gross! It was supposed to be really spicy and it was not. 1/5 The curly fries were hot, fresh, and seasoned well. 4/5 The mandu was store bought gyoza and it did not come with a dipping sauce as mandu usually does. 2/5 The lunch special was a good price but otherwise this is definitely overpriced. If you are ever in the San Antonio area, try Pelicana, it's AMAZING Korean chicken.
