I love this place so much they have a hot bar with gyoza, onion rings, chicken and spring rolls…read moreplus a sauce bar with tons of ingredients to make your own unique sauces (that sauce makes a great marinade or addition to the bbq meats)! I made a few different ones with ponzu, green onions, garlic and ginger and chiles. Another had peanut sauce and can't miss out on the yum yum!! I also enjoyed the pickled radish and kimchi. On to the meats my table chose our items and shared the grill space our server was super helped and attentive once the grill got going it got a little dark cause we asked for it to be turned up higher but made the meat so tasty!! We got garlic shrimps salmon, mushrooms, onion, bulgogi beef, short rib, and pineapple!! Just have to watch out for any cross contamination since you'll have raw and cooked meat at the table the server brought us extra utensils to help with that problem. They do a great job!! We thoroughly enjoyed the meal!!

Amazing! First time I came here I didn't know they give the birthday person a free meal within 3…read moredays of your birthday and if you have a party of 4 or more. We just happened to be there within the 3 days so it was a nice surprise! First time we tried both hot pot and bbq. This time we just did bbq and it was plenty. The food is so fresh and marinated perfectly. Meats were tender but you do have to know what to order because some cuts were more chewy. My favorite were the short ribs and bulgogi. So fun to cook yourself, they changed out the grill multiple times and you can also request them to. Love the sauce station where you can make your own dipping sauce. Some fried foods, kimchi and fruit available buffet style too. Love all the options here. Love that you can order on the tablet but it is confusing if we had received all our food before we ordered more. They also have desserts available but you need to order with waiter. Restaurant is loud but it's a great time. They do sing happy birthday to you with a flashing neon sign.

Excellent ramen and dolsut bibimbap…read more Ramen broth is silky and flavorful. Full of noodles, veggies and meat. One of the best bibimbap I've had. In a new world of trendy overpriced ramen places- this one is rock solid and fairly priced. Great service as well.

It was a nice visit.

I recently visited Chi Maek, and it is one of the best places I have ever been to. It's very clean,…read moreno matter what time you visit, and the service is truly 5-star. If I could, I would give this restaurant a 10-star rating. I have never had a moment where I was disappointed with Chi Maek. The service is always on point--from the top (the owner) to everyone who works there. Everyone greets you with a smile, and both their food and service keep me coming back. I like to say they make you feel like you're part of their family. And if you didn't know any different, you would think you were visiting an upscale, very expensive restaurant, but their prices are just right, not too expensive, and the food still tastes amazing. I am part of a retired group of ladies, and not only does my family love going back again and again, but my group was so impressed that we visited more than once, and some of those ladies still go back on their own. As you walk through the door, they greet you not only with a smile, but they also call your name as if they have known you forever. As I stood waiting for my order, I noticed I wasn't the only one; they greeted every customer the same way, with a smile and by calling them by name as they walked through the door.

We ordered Bulgogi Fries, So-tteok-so-tteok, and Danmae Boneless Wings with a side of white rice. The food itself was very tasty and a great value due to the large portion sizes. The only note I have is that I might ask for extra sauce for our wings next time just because I prefer them saucier, but that's just my personal preference! Every employee we interacted with was very kind and thoughtful. The restaurant has a very low-key vibe so it was great to just sit and relax while enjoying our food.

King's Restaurant (Korean) in Fridley, MN is delicious! We ordered Naeng-Myeon buckwheat noodle…read moresoup, which is served cold and only available in the summer. The buckwheat noodles are very chewy and served with pickled white radish slices and julienned cucumbers, half of a hard boiled egg, and 2 thin slices of beef brisket. Note: the Korean buckwheat noodles in this soup are slight translucent and chewy, and not the same type as the Japanese buckwheat noodles, which are not as chewy. The noodle soup is accompanied by 2 bottles sauces: hot/spicy yellow mustard and vinegar to add per your desired spice and sour level. The soup was light, slightly seasoned with a hint of sour and savoriness. We also ordered the jap chae glass noodle stir-fry which was delicious, but it was lacking in beef and a bit too oily. It had a few slices of red bell pepper, yellow onions, and green onion /scallions. The glass noodles are made from sweet potatoes and are chewy in texture, but not as chewy as the buckwheat noodles. The galbitang short beef rib soup (#26) is a light soup served hot (not spicy) with a few pieces of beef short ribs, glass noodles, white radish, and egg drop. King's Restaurant has reduced their portion of glass noodles in recent years and it's lacking substance to fill the tummy, especially with an increased price of $21.95. They do give a small bowl of white rice and 4-5 types of banchan (side dishes, like Kimchi, blanched bean sprouts, fish cake, kimchi cucumbers, blanched broccoli). Service is on the most part friendly and semi-attentive, depending on the server and if they're busy. King's is recently (2026) charging for their buckwheat Korean tea, which was previous complimentary. Ambiance is casual with booths and tables. They can host larger parties, up to 8 or so people, but it's best to call ahead to check. Free parking is plentiful, but it can get filled on the side lot nearest to the restaurant when it's busy. There's another larger parking lot adjacent to the restaurant that is never completely filled so parking should not be an issue. Would I go again-maybe. Their increased prices and smaller portions (jap chae with almost no beef and noodle dishes with a small portion of glass noodles), it's starting to give me pause, especially when I have other choices of Korean restaurants in the Twin Cities. King's is by far the most expensive Korean restaurant in the Twin Cities and their portion sizes are shrinking to where the value is lacking, especially if you're really hungry.

Soke BBQ and hotpot is located inside Mochinut. My husband and I did AYCE hotpot and BBQ. We…read morearrived on Wednesday evening after the dinner rush. It is a casual dining experience. The staff were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Hot Pot: We were told that we could have 4 both options. We only did 2 and I thought it was pretty good. It took a while for the broth to boil. They have lots of options for proteins, soybean, vegetables, and noodles/rice. They also offer lobster tail! They did give us two sets of ladles. One had a strainer on the bottom, while the other is a regular ladle. BBQ: I like their protein options, which includes short ribs and an 8-oz ribeye. The food came with 3-4 side dishes, but we didn't eat those. I forgot what they were. Pricing: It is competitive with other local hot pot and BBQ. They do have a $15/lbs fee for wasting food. They have rules written on their menu. Parking: Free parking that is shared with other businesses on the strip.

Went here with my parents and siblings. Staff was friendly and quick to get us what we asked for…read more We did the bbq and hotpot. I like the hotpot better than the bbq. The broth was really good. Drinks were also very fairly priced. Parking was a little limited, since it shared with other stores in the strip mall. This place is smaller than other kbbq I've been to so might be busy during peak time. Tables hold about 6 people max.

My friend and I were craving ramen and wanted to try this place out. Upon walking in, I noticed…read morethat the dining room was very well kept with a good amount of patrons. I went with the pork tonkotsu ramen and although it's one of the most basic dishes, I was very impressed with how this particular bowl was prepared. The food came in a timely manner and I could tell it was prepared to order versus having a bowl premade waiting to be served. The staff were very friendly too and even got a chance to chat with a few of the chefs. Definitely planning to come back again in the future!

Definitely recommend the white garlic ramen!! We also got gyoza (which were served cold), popcorn chicken, pork belly bao bun, pork skewer. These were all good but the ramen was the star of the show. The service is great and fast. the little rooms are very nice!

Next visit I'd likely skip the turnip cake, it wasn't crispy at all. Instead mushy and very gluttonous.

My lil bro and his wife generally goes to Yangtze and has taken me there before but I was not impressed. The menu is pretty extensive considering you can order dim sum plus the regular menu on weekends. I came on Saturday because I've been waiting all week to try the dim sum during my visit. Everything came piping hot and was fresh and the servers were all extremely nice. I wish I had more stomach because there were so many things in the menu I didn't get to try. My lil bro first griped that this place was too far, but after he ate, he changed his tune and said "okay" when asked to come back

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in MN and that is saying a lot coming from a Vietnamese…read moregirly. Service is amazing! Not like the other viet mom and pop restaurants where they don't even want to take your order and ignore you the rest of the time. They are so sweet and cater to what you need. Our group of 5 ordered a bunch of dishes to share and they were amazing making sure we all had enough dishes and sauces to share. I love that they have items on the menu that you do not find anywhere else except for Vietnam. Not only are the items unique, they taste amazing!!! You really have to try everything here. Portions are pretty big so make sure you bring your appetite or someone to share with, especially for the platters. I recommend the banh khot if you've never seen or heard of it. It's a busy place but there was plenty of seating. Tables were spread out enough so it didn't feel too claustrophobic. The only ick was the bathroom seemed to be leaking and we did let them know but they must've been aware of it because nothing was done when we told them about it. Hopefully they get that fixed soon because it is hazardous to those who might not notice it right away like we did.
