    The classic with Sriracha aoli
    Benjamin H.

    I've been here multiple times, because my office used to be right nearby. But even after moving to a different office, I still go back from time to time. The portions are very generous, and the flavor is really good. The only downside is that it takes a while to get your order. But this food is delicious. Boxyard also has many other things to do, so it's a nice location to visit. It's not just the restaurant. You can do trivia or karaoke or open mic night.

    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
    Courtnay B.

    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
    Karen L.

    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.

    Bulgogi bowl
    Mara K.

    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!

    Sauce Menu
    Jessie C.

    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.

    Phillip N.

    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.

I absolutely made the right choice. Parking was a little tricky when I arrived because there was an ambulance in the lot, but there were still plenty of nearby options, so it really wasn't a problem. When you walk inside, you're greeted by a line, but don't let that scare you off because it moved surprisingly fast. The staff was friendly from the start, and I really liked being able to watch the food being prepared as I moved down the line. The atmosphere was exactly what I want from a barbecue restaurant. Everything was clean, the staff was welcoming, and the inside had that classic local barbecue-joint feel. I even ended up sitting underneath the moose head, which only added to the experience. I ordered the pork barbecue plate with a baked potato and a Sun Drop. And if you're eating barbecue in North Carolina, you pretty much have to get a Sun Drop with it. The barbecue was excellent. It was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. They had several sauce choices, and the one I tried paired really well with the pork. Normally, I like to take some of my barbecue and stuff it inside my baked potato, but the pork was so good that I didn't even want to slow myself down. I demolished the hush puppies first and then showed absolutely no mercy to the barbecue. The baked potato was also excellent--fresh, soft, moist, and loaded with all of my favorite toppings. This was one of those places where everything just came together: great food, friendly service, a fun atmosphere, and exactly the kind of barbecue experience I was hoping for. I honestly wish I lived closer because I could see myself eating here all the time. One thing is for sure: anytime I'm back in Durham, The Original Q will be on my list.

They also sell merchandise, and keep in mind that they can sell out online pretty quickly. Orders open in the morning for same-day pickup, and once they're sold out, that's it for the day!

I'm leaving 2 stars in case this may have been an off night, and for this review not to be dismissed as one of those "I only left one star because I couldn't leave zero" posts that even I usually ignore. But with the amount of issues, this could easily be justified as a one-star review. When I arrived around 6:45-7:00 p.m. on a weeknight, the restaurant was completely empty. I didn't think much of it at the time, but afterward this seemed unusual for a barbecue restaurant in a state known for its BBQ. The first real issue was that one of our two-meat dinners was missing one of the meats. Next was that the brisket was extremely dry, even when soaked in barbecue sauce by them, and even more sauce added by me. The ribs had an acrid smoke flavor and a smell that resembled the odor more of cigarette smoke than even liquid smoke. I'm not accusing the cooks of smoking in the kitchen. In fact, research tells me, "An unpleasant, ashtray-like smell can come from dirty smoke (a poorly managed fire), excessive creosote, or meat that sat too long." With how empty the restaurant was, it could very well have been the latter. Sides: My son's fries were also missing. The sweet potato fries were significantly undercooked. The hush puppies' outer layer was a bit more solid than I'm used to, and several of us could not take more than one bite. However, this could have been due to personal taste. The potato salad and mac and cheese were just okay, but that could also be personal taste. We're the type of people that try to convince ourselves something is better than it actually is, which is why I sat on writing this until the day after. This is also why I'm not even going to attempt to ask for a refund. I don't see us ever going back to that area, nor that restaurant. I'm generally not a picky eater, but this was one of the few times where I could not take more than a few bites of anything. We were really looking forward to trying NC BBQ in NC, so this was a disappointing experience.
