    Tofu bibimbap
    Meghan M.

    Solid bibimbap; enjoyed the pickled radish! I wish that they used a different shaped bowl for serving the food because my food was spilling out and it was hard to stir up the rice in it. But otherwise delicious meal. You order via a kiosk, so I didn't interact with the staff. There is a small eating area inside but if you're at Boxyard, would recommend sitting outside and enjoying the live music and vibes outdoors!

    Spicy pork fried rice
    Talesha C.

    We came here on Monday afternoon. The box yard is definitely a summer/spring/fall spot but I'm so glad this restaurant was open. The spicy pork fried rice was delicious. The flavors punch you in the face and it's amazing. The spicy pork was cooked perfectly. A lot comes with it so you can definitely split this meal maybe into three separate meals. I split it into two. The service was quick and we were the only people there during that hour.

    Spicy Beef Bulkogi

    Had lunch with coworkers on a Monday, and this was the only lunch option open. The spicy beef bulkogi was solid, and enough for two lunches.

    Bulgogi beef tacos
    Adam D.

    Fusion food is hard to get right, but Bulkogi gets it right and then some. There was so much to choose from and o my one day left in the area, but I could have lunch here everyday and never get bored. I finally landed on the bulgogi beef tacos. Not only was the beef tender and so flavorful, but it was served in my favorite food vessel - a warm folded corn tortilla (a taco). The fixins, including crunchy slightly spicy and sour kimchi and a delicious creamy aioli, completed my meal. The food was cooked in sight and served quickly and the space was clean and inviting. It was a warm hearty meal that made a rainy cold day turn bright (with flavor).

    Bulgogi fries

    Get the bulkogi fries, you won't regret it!!!! Portions are huge, flavors are on point, I even love their kimchi and I'm not a huge kimchi fan. The interior of the restaurant is not great I mean the ceilings are low and it feels kinda stuffy but you can just take your food outside to eat and enjoy the forest-y feel amongst trees and some live music depending on the hour. I added a fried egg to my bowl and that was nice. Sauces are great, this place always hits.

    I really enjoyed the food here, although it is definitely not a super traditional Korean restaurant. The ambience is great due to the RTP boxyard. Unfortunately, it took a really long time to actually get our food. The portions were excellent, and the food was good with a nice selection of sauces as well.

    Korean BBQ Burrito Bowl with Spicy Beef and Fried Rice
    Andrea A.

    I've been wanting to try Bulkogi forever & am so glad to finally have had the chance! I got the Korean BBQ Burrito Bowl with Spicy Beef and Fried Rice. It was delicious and the portion size (& variety of toppings- corn, beans, onions, tomato) was great. I also really enjoyed the kimchi slaw that was on the bowl. The only negative was that it was not at all spicy- even with the added sauce that was supposed to be spicy. But I did appreciate all the sauce flavors; I tried Joe's Special, Spicy Aioli, and the Sweet & Sour & they were all tasty. Ambiance is great with some inside & lots of outdoor seating. Service is relatively fast. Lots of free parking available. 8.5/10 would recommend!

    Create your own bowl with beef
    J G.

    Highly recommend this place! The food is consistently amazing! It's really delicious and flavorful. I ordered the create your own bowl with beef and my boyfriend ordered the with chicken. We both really enjoyed our food and it was quite filling. It was my boyfriend's first time trying Bulkogi and he was literally blown away! Service was nice and sweet. Ambiance is airy and modern. Surely a nice place to try for lunch!

    The portion sizes compelled me to write this review. Bulgogi is GENEROUS with their entrees!! Everyone in my party had leftovers to take home for at least one more meal. And in both settings, the food is real tasty. There are also self serve sauces next to where you pick up your food. The ordering system is through an iPad kiosk and they call your name out when the order is ready. One thing to note is that we could not find any trash cans in the restaurant but since they are in RTP, there are plenty of trash cans around. The inside of the restaurant is very casual and you can see the kitchen in action!

    Chicken bulkgogi with fried egg and kimchi fried rice
    Isabelle Z.

    The flavors and quantity of the food was amazing at this location! Price was a little high but for the quantity it definitely was justified. Beautiful location and being able to hear live music and hang out was awesome. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

    One of my favorite lunch spots at Boxyard RTP! I ordered my go-to Bibimbap with beef and a fried hard egg. So good! I topped it with the spicy aioli and bibimbap sauces. Both are very tasty. You order through a kiosk and there is very little human interaction, but the food is fast and tasty! There are tables inside, but I typically opt for eating outside at Boxyard. It is nice to have the option though. Overall great experience and excellent food! Will be back!

    Summer F.

    Absolutely delicious! The bulgogi beef bowl was flavorful, filling, and a big portion... which I loved! Every bite was pure yum. Highly recommend! Good price, friendly staff and quick service too! Also I love being able to add my own sauces on it as well. Great variety.

    Bulkgogi Fries
    Jaime S.

    So we were headed to get Indian food on 9th street, but there was an accident or something on 147 and I was at the exit for RTP, so I decided to go to Boxyard and have my favorite Bulkogi!!! Just like I told them, they have the best Bulgogi in the triangle. They have kiosks for you to place your order. Be careful when ordering the tacos, somehow one time I order 9 tacos instead of 3, lol but wasn't sad at all when I was able to have leftovers for days. My daughter always gets the Bulkogi fries and I always get the tacos. The order was ready in perfect time. We had just enough time to order drinks from the nearby bar and get some good seating outside and our food was ready. Every bite was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and amazing. There are several options on the menu, but I love what I love! Bulkogi has seating inside, but it was finally a beautiful sunny day, so we sat outside where there's tons of seating. The service is always great, and everyone is friendly.

    My wife and I are local to the RTP area and wanted to try a new place in Durham. Given the reviews…read moreon this place, we were looking forward to try it. However, we were utterly disappointed with our food there. The bao buns had a tender pork in it but the only sauce it included was hoisin which made it too salty. The Korean fried chicken in the 'Spicy' flavor was flavorless. The sauce was extremely bland alongside the chicken meat inside. Don't let the red bright color deceive you, we kept wondering when the 'spice' would kick it (it never did!). We each got a curry udon and added chicken to it. As frequent curry eaters, we wanted the Asian flavors we enjoy however, this udon was bland as well. The chicken we asked to be added felt like it was just chopped and put over the udon with no actual flavor integration into the dish. We left this place feeling like it was a waste of our money. Given their higher prices, I would've expected something A LOT better with some real Asian flavors.

My friend is from that area of the world and on her recommendation we tried this new place in downtown Durham. It was terrific, what a find! The restaurant's unique handmade paintings on walls and other Philippino decor was very eclectic and cool. They had a hand painted mural of the famous Chef Anthony Bourdain Which was cool but he's from New York so I'll have to ask the owner about that next time I come back. Lol The place was packed and we were walk ins but the owner was at the reception desk and told us to wait and she might be able to find us a table. We were in luck and she directed us to the back room. The server was extremely knowledgeable about all the dishes. Since I had my Philippino friend along she told us what she liked as well as the helpful server. The food was delicious and had a beautiful presentation. What I ate I can't pronounce so look at my pics of the menu ;) I had a bowl w beef filet, onions, tomatoes, cucumber lining the bowl w Jasmine rice and a fried egg on top. My friend had oxtail and the other had an appetizer of Lumplang Shanghai and entre of Pancit Behon, all food was extraordinary and large portions. No doubt that was why the place was packed! It's a great place in downtown Durham to check out next time you want to have some adventurous dining. Kain Po Tayo! (Enjoy your meal!)
