The black sauce is a garlic, mushroom, and meat in it. Mix well with the egg noodles. Very flavorful. Portion is good. The black sauce is actually a black bean paste base. Very rich in flavor. Price is not cheap. The protein only a small portion chop pork.

Gyodong Noodle is a Korean-Chinese fusion noodle franchise from South Korea. It's currently known…read moreas one of the top 5 Korean-Chinese fusion noodle places in Korea. They specialize in dishes like Jampong, a spicy seafood dish originally invented by a Chinese-Japanese chef in Nagasaki, Japan, who used leftover seafood from sushi in noodles. This dish made its way to Korea and became Koreanized, becoming spicier and evolving into the Jampong noodle we have today. Jajangmyun is also one of the most popular comfort foods among Koreans, just like its ancestor Zhajangmien, which is a popular comfort food in Beijing, China. Korean Jajangmyun differs from Chinese Zhajangmien as the sauce is thicker, sweeter, and has more vegetable, meat, and seafood toppings. Gyodong also makes some incredible Koream-Chinese fusion fried pork dishes known as Tangsooyook using chewy brown rice, and they are just as good as the great Korean-Chinese places I've tried in LA's Korea Town or Seoul, Korea. I recommend ordering half and half jajangmyuna and jampong and tangsooyook. You can have 2 most popular Korean-Chinese noodle dishes in Korea in one bowl.

I got the combo chicken katsu box, which was a lot of good food for only $13! They have a lot of…read morethe snacks, desserts and chips to pick from, including some viral things like the corn shaped/flavored icecream and spicy canned tuna. It's a small place but there's still a place to sit and eat inside. Everything I got in the pictures was less than $50. Will definitely come again to try some other stuff :)

I just got a quick take out kimbap for lunch and it was really good! It was a big size Kimbap with…read morelots of fillings inside. It was spicy, flavorful, and filling. The price can get a little expensive if you add a bunch of sides like I did, but the kimbap is definitely worth its price!

I ordered the jjangmien. My friend had the bibimpab. We split a kimchi pancake. Man, these were all bangers. We were surprised by a couple of little banchan offerings (pickled daikon and spicy cucumber). The jjangmien was quite large, so savory, and the sauce had meaty chunks in it. I tried my buddy's food, great sesame oil flavor and served with lots of gochujang. The kimchi pancake was so tangy. I was stuffed. Way exceeded expectations for such a low-key spot. I would come back in a flash if the opportunity were to arise.

Walking into the Asian market, I was excited to see the Dosi Rak Sign. There's a menu that shows…read morethe food and prices and when entering, you will see lots of pics of all of what they have to offer. There were two ladies in the kitchen and one lady somewhat by check out. I ordered beef bulgogi Dosirak(bento box), & bulgogi bibambap to go. She said 15 minutes so I walked around the market. After a while I came back, sat at a table and waited for my to go food. It was packed up in a bag and the same lady gave me my food. My food was very tasty and it included three sides, and my hubby's food he was quite happy with. Glad we finally tried Dosi Rak. They have this eatery and K-Deli nearby which I also like.

Along with my go to for boba shops of grapefruit green tea. I did no sugar and was surprised that it really was sugar free. Ava it was so good. The only slush that I've gotten that was actually slushy like I like. It was thicker so it didn't melt so fast. Food was out quick and freshly made. It was good but I would've like the sauce to have been thicker and less sweet.

This is my ABSOLUTE favorite KBBQ place in the Tampa Bay area! I would even argue the best one…read more I've been going to K-chicken for years now and I can honestly say they have the best sides and meat hands down! For a AYCE, they do not skip out on the quality. I would order the beef belly and prime brisket to start and cheese corn and steamed egg for sides. Their Garlic Pork belly is a game changer, the fat just melts in your mouth. I recently tried their spicy ramen and honey rice cakes, and it was heavenly. And to top it off, we get the fried oreos, that is if you have room left. Their service is great. They have the same servers since Ive been coming but they're all so nice. The restaurant feels like you're just at a family gathering at your grandmas house, very inviting! I've been to majority of Kbbq places in Tampa and honestly wouldn't go to any other ones besides K-chicken. the quality of the meat just does it for me! I don't even have pictures to prove since I go into town after getting the food. My only problem is that I don't have 3 stomachs to eat more.

I wish they had more meat but I usually get the lamb and sometimes beef tongue. The meat slices are definitely more limited than other places. They do keep the ingredients very stocked though and everything was fresh. I've come here many times and honestly I like the lunch time more than dinner because during dinner I always feel like I'm being rushed out. For example, the waiter took away my pot before I could eat everything inside it. And he gave me the check before I could even get some ice cream for dessert.

Service is also very friendly and helpful as well. The things that need improvement though. Since all of the ingredients for your malatang are by weight, you can to choose the ingredients yourself from the open buffet. When I went, unfortunately, several containers from the buffet had moldy ingredients and discolored meat. This is rather concerning since this is a health hazard, meaning that the ingredients aren't being kept at the right temperature. Thankfully, when I told the server, they quickly threw out the bad ingredients and cleaned the containers. But I really hope more attention is paid to the state of the ingredients and sauce bar. The guobaorou, while ok in flavor, was too heavy on the batter. The meat slices were so thin compared to the thick coating of batter, which made some pieces a little unpleasant to eat. Overall, a mixed bag experience for me. I truly hope they can succeed. If they bring consistency to their dishes and make sure ingredients are closely monitored and kept fresh, they will be good to go. I hope the next time I come, the experience is even better :)

Tampa Bay New Korean style mala 麻辣…read more Mala (Xiang Guo) 麻辣香鍋 dry pot stir-fry started trending in the US around 2009, starting at the New World Mall Food Court in Flushing, Queens. Since then this Chinese classic dish, has become popular in Korea, and adapted more to Korean tastes. I visit this chain restaurant's Atlanta Koreatown location often, but Tampa is quickly forming their own beloved Koreatown near the Lotte Plaza area. Love it! The pay by weight, customized, buffet style selections, have some great noodle, ttoek, protein, and vegetable options. I always put too much in my bowl! Each individual serving in placed on a personal flame burner to keep warm. I've written entire articles on Korean style mala, so feel free to ask me any questions in the comments. This chain hails from Korea. What makes Korean style mala different than the original chinese mala? Firstly, ma 麻 = numbing + la 辣 =spicy. Unfortunately, the term "mala" is used when food is often just spicy and not numbing. Here, the mala is sweeter, but still thankfully has both spicy and numbing flavor. The sauces are smooth here; not containing entire pieces of chili pepper, peppercorn, garlic, ginger that is typically in mala. This makes for an easier eating experience. There are also spice grades, and cream (rose) versions. Featured items: 1 麻辣香鍋 마라샹궈 Mala Xiang Guo - Mala dry pot, customized. 2 鍋包肉 돈등심 꿔바로우 Pork Guobarou - Thin sliced pork, deep fried crispy in rice flour batter. Covered in sweet sour sauce. Highly addictive and the crispy texture is perfect for dipping in the mala sauce. Can't wait to visit again and try the 麻辣燙 마라탕 mala soup & 짜장샹궈 jajang black bean sauce version.
