The space is very open and has plenty of seating. There is a kiosk at the front where you can browse the menu and enter in your order. When your order is ready, your order number will be called and you can get it at the counter. FOOD: ~Mul Nengmyun (3.5/5): flavor was just okay. Had a good amount of veggies and a hefty portion of noodles. ~Yukgaejang Kalguksu (4/5): Flavorful broth (nice and spicy) and the noodles had a great texture ~Spicy pork dolsot bibimbap (5/5): This dish hit the spot for me. It was piping hot and made the nice layer of crispy rice at the bottom. The pork was flavorful. ~Sides: loved all the sides from the veggies, fish cake, kimchi, and soup Thoroughly enjoyed majority of the food here and will likely return if I'm craving basic Korean food.

The food is delicious at Taste of Korea, with presentation of dishes excellent. But prices are too…read morehigh for portion sizes. The restaurant space is rather small and plain but comfortable. I do really like the online menu, where you can see big clear pictures of each dish. Inside the restaurant they do have small paper copies of the menu (without pictures) that you can use to choose your order before entering it on the kiosk. Taste of Korea is strictly self-service. You place your order on the electronic kiosk inside the front door. You also pick up your order from the counter and bus your table as well. Water is self-service too, which is good. I ordered the B5. Sizzling Stone Pot Bibimap. It was pretty good and I especially liked the banchan that came with it. But as I mentioned, the portion size was small (and the amount of beef skimpy), though you do have the option of adding extra ingredients for a price. Some pieces of the meat did have an off-flavor. There was a cup of broth (not miso) that came with the bibimap but it had no flavor. It was like drinking warm water. JP ordered the C6. Korean Style Pork Belly. The pork belly was very good and this dish also came with banchan and broth. We also ordered the Spicy Baby Octopus. It wasn't super spicy but it had a very delicious sauce. But probably more onion than octopus. We also ordered the Chicken Bulgogi, which was excellent. However, these two dishes only came with rice, and not banchan. I doubt we will come back because of the price vs. quantity ratio.

It was…read moresuper quiet as we were the only patrons that were in there at the time, but it definitely got busier as the night progress. I believe this place is open till 2 AM which is probably why as a night progressed it got way more crowded. The service: The waiter, I forgot his name I'm sorry, was super sweet and very insensitive. The food: We ordered so many things on the food menu, but the absolute star of the show was the Ramen. The broth was the best I've ever had and I still think about it two weeks later lol it is beef flavored based and it had the perfect amount of ingredients. If you want to add beef to it, it is extra. Everything honestly was pretty good so I have no bad reviews, but the Ramen was definitely the queen of a show

We ordered gamjatang, somori (beef cheeks) gukbap, & sul guk (assorted pig parts). The meat cuts were on point. They don't taste like MSG to me. The place was packed for a weekday lunch. Service was good. Nothing to complain about. It was a plain decor but not outdated. The only regret I had was I didn't have time to take photos.

Along with these dishes, you can choose a side so we opted for both the yellow radish which is crisp and delicious and the kimchi.  We also ordered spring rolls.  Although it took a little longer to have our order called than I would have expected, everything arrived hot and soon trays covered our little table.  Each dish was different and each was tasty and a very generous serving.  For the bibimbap, make sure to add the sauce to give it that flavor punch.  The bibim Guksu also has a great sauce.  There are a lot of yummy noodles.  Our favorite was the ddukbokki which not only had a great sauce but such a wonderful texture.  There was no way we could finish everything but, not to worry, because Sirok has easily available to go containers.  We appreciated not only this convenience but also the fact that they had a cold water dispenser so you didn't have to buy bottled water if you didn't want to.  The parking lot is large and right outside.  We will be sure to be pulling in to a space sometime soon to try some of the other dishes on offer.

Food came out fairly quickly and the kimbap tasted really good! I know I didn't do a great job taking a photo, but as you can kind of see, Sirok kimbap came with lots of ingredients inside. And I can say this as I have made kimbap many times myself, it's really an effort when you have multiple ingredients, so I thought it was worth it, overall, quick and easy yet delicious Korean street food option!

It's clearly a local favorite--many Korean patrons were enjoying their meals, which is always a good sign. I went with two of the more popular dishes: the black bean noodles (jajangmyeon) and the spicy seafood noodle soup (jjamppong). Both were flavorful and satisfying. The broth in the seafood noodles was rich and bold, and the black bean sauce had that deep, savory kick I was hoping for. Service is minimal but efficient, and the vibe is casual and welcoming. Great spot for a quick, tasty meal that feels authentically Korean (American).

The menu was extensive, filled with lots of homey options that I don't usually see in other restaurants. After ordering, we were served six different banchans, all of which were incredibly homey -- light and not too savory. My favorites were the acorn jelly (which was mixed with salted seaweed and sesame seeds) and the white kimchi. Honestly, all six were really solid. AL TANG - 19.99 Super savory with lots of "sea sweetness" and umami, this stew was rich and piping hot upon arrival. I've never had al tang before, but have heard great things about it. Unfortunately, I didn't love the texture of fish roe (kind of reminded me of the texture of cooked chicken lungs). By the end of the stew, I thought it was too salty, so I didn't end up finishing it. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but I probably won't get it again. My friend got the mackerel which he loved. I'll look forward to other items on the menu next time.

This is regarding my Uber Eats order. I ordered bibimbap, galbi deopbap and Korean fried chicken…read morewings. Bibimbap was very average, but I had major issues with the other two. Galbi deopbap- it was mostly onion with slivers of meat that had a lot of fat. Meat weren't the usual La Galbi cut either- it looked like they were just leftover trimmings of short rib! Very mediocre taste also. I mean compare my photo to what's displayed on Uber Eats menu. KFC- biggest issue. Wings came naked WITH KETCHUP packets... they were bland and not even really that crispy! So I called the restaurant and then asked to please fix this, at least refund for the wings. They go on to say "well you should have chosen the sauce because some people want them naked." Well guess what, there's no option to "choose" sauce on Uber Eats. The lady confirms it and says they still can't refund but I can come to the restaurant to pick up a new order. I mean I'm not going to leave dinner table to pick up this order that THEY messed up and waste an hour. I asked if I can talk to her boss and she says she's not here. The lady agrees they messed up but still refused to fix it. Not sure what to say. I understand sometimes people have bad days and food quality may vary but it's pretty upsetting they straight up refuse to fix their issue. First time ordering here but very disappointed, not only because of the food but the because the way they handled the issue- clearly they don't care. Will not be ordering again.

The Jajangmyeon wasn't speaking to me as much, but I still ate it! As someone who frequently dines solo, I really appreciated the combo menu options. It can be tricky to order Chinese or Korean food when a lot of places do family style portions for sharing. I often wind up with more food (and a bigger check) than I need for just me! The combo option was still a huge serving but not overwhelming and it was a great price!
