I visited this restaurant today located at 5161 Beach Blvd Unit 5B, Jacksonville, FL 32207, and…read moreordered the beef tripe soup. The side dishes were very flavorful, and I also purchased two drinks that were absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided good customer service throughout my visit. The only thing is that they told me that they do not clean tripe in Korea which was hard to believe. I do want to share a concern regarding the preparation of the tripe soup. After beginning the meal, I noticed that the tripe did not appear to have been cleaned. At first, I wondered if this was simply the restaurant's style of preparation, but after researching further, I learned that improperly cleaned tripe can be both unpleasant and potentially unsafe to consume because tripe comes from the stomach lining of the animal. Uncleaned tripe may still contain food residue, digestive material, parasites, worms, bacteria, and strong bile or waste odors. This can potentially lead to issues such as foul smell, unpleasant taste, food poisoning, bacterial contamination including E. coli or Salmonella, and symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting, or diarrhea. Proper cleaning is generally considered an essential part of preparing tripe, especially in professional restaurants where customers would quickly notice if the cleaning process was incomplete. Overall, I appreciated the kindness of the staff, the quality of the drinks, and the excellent side dishes. I am only sharing my personal experience and concern specifically regarding the preparation of the tripe soup.

My favorite side dishes are the soft tofu, fish katsu & cheese corn!

If you haven't visited this spot you are absolutely missing out! I've lived in Jax for 10+ years…read moreand today was my first visit and I was blown away. The ambience when you go in is warm, cosy and welcoming with lots of dark wood, nicely spaced out tables and thoughtful decor. Equally suitable for a romantic date, celebration meal, night out or family dinner. The menu is thorough, the food comes out quick but hot and fresh, and I swear you could close your eyes and pick something random and have a great meal. There's no dedicated kids menu, but there's no need as the staff are quick to make recommendations from the appetizer and small size options based on what your little one likes. They offer both all you can eat BBQ as well as an à la carte menu, with great banchan. I ordered out of my comfort zone and the server put down the scissors and various sauces with a short, clear explanation for each, allowing me to easily navigate how to tackle a new dish. We devoured Tteokboki (which I'm now addicted to), Japchae (great for my kid), Daeji Bulgogi with banchan, and the Beef short rib combo with cold Buckwheat Noodle with spicy sauce, plus a lovely pineapple Soju. This is now a must eat location for me, and I'm absolutely coming back for the AYCE BBQ.

This was 2nd visit and it was delicious…read more First visit I got the Raymun but asked for beef instead of seafood and they accommodated. It was fantastic. My friend got the LA galbi short ribs combo and absolutely craved it since then. We did have the seafood pancake. I wasn't a fan. I felt it lacked that seafood taste and I didn't care for the jalapeño that was substituted for the Korean chili's. My friend really enjoyed it. I prefer Kimchi Koreans seafood pancake out of all the versions I've tried. 2nd visit - I got the LA galbi short rib combo which comes with rice, soup (soft tofu beef was devine) and the side dishes - which are also excellent! It's $24 for the combo and you will NOT leave hungry! My friend got the spicy pork bulgogi combo. Loved it all. It is simply one of the best Korean food we've had. Decor is extremely nice. This is a hidden gem. Local Korean families are eating here. Service is quick and attentive. There's bbq service with all you can eat also available. Chalk boards to draw on and have fun, perfect for family's. This would make a great date destination or just any occasion is fine as you can enjoy your meal with the comfort foods from Korea. Highly recommend trying this place out!

The tables have the both the BBQ grill and the hot pots. Food - try it all! They have all your meats and stuff in a buffet area. everything we tried was fresh and delicious. We had both the grill and the hot pots. Each of us tried a different base and all of them were good. I would go traditional if I was you. Food conveyor - just like you see in Japan! Alls sorts of items come by your table. If I could say anything bad it would be that I wish some of the portions were smaller - there are so many things to try and I no longer each like a college student. Service - our server never left us wanting for anything. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I look forward to bringing more friends here in the future. The place is large and can accommodate larger groups - I think I saw one group of about 15. It may seem a little pricey for some but you have lots of options and it's worth it.

Grab some noodles, mushrooms, or whatever off the line going by the table and enjoy. A guy at the end of my row ordered prawns that were not on the line. They were huge. The dining enjoyment last for a maximum of 2 hours but you shouldn't need that long. At $150.00 for the four of us, the food was good and the family dining experience is what made it worthwhile.

I usually stick to only hot pot because grilling and hot pot at the same time is too much for me. My go-to broths are herbal or pork bone. The broth is always flavorful and tasty and comforting. With the sauce station, I can customize my dipping sauce as well as adding it to the soup to bring it to the spice level I like. My friend got spicy sichuan, which she can handle the spicy. It is also good but I would go with Korean seafood if I wanted medium spicy. I like the many food options they offer which even includes shrimp with or without the head and snow crab legs. The revolving veggies and noodles are so convenient and fun. I like to get in my leafy greens - they have bok choy, lettuce, napa cabbage, snow pea tips, and water cress (when they have it). It is also nice that they offer different flavors of ice cream in a cup or waffle cone for dessert. Perfect ending to a meal. The service was good and they recently upgraded to electric payment at the table which makes it even more efficient when you're ready to go. Until next time!

I was thrilled to see this truck incidentally as we were looking for another truck. I decided to…read morechange my plans and get something from Taste of Korea instead and I'm glad that I was able to try it. I got the regular doshirak, which was essentially a large bento box. I opted for beef bulgogi and it came with rice, a fried dumpling, japchae, kimchi, pickled veggies, Korean rolled egg, bean sprouts, and a couple of other sides. The food was ready faster than the 15 minutes quoted, which was great. I enjoyed the bulgogi. It was tender and had good flavor. The pickled veggies and kimchi were the most flavorful sides. I also liked the japchae. The dumpling was too greasy, as evidenced by the grease in the wrapper and the egg and rice didn't have much flavor. The egg needed salt. I really wanted - and should've ordered - the Korean hot dog...next time. This place has great customer service and packaging. It's a bit pricey at $20 for what you get or for comparable options, which are within the $15-17 range.

Whether they were small versions of actual vehicles in production, or crazy dragsters or monster themed or anything else the wizards at Mattel could come up with, I wanted them all. You know what I didn't really want or collect as a kid? Trucks. Sorry Tonka. But I just didn't care about dump trucks or bulldozers or big rigs. And you know what, I kind of felt that way as an adult about food trucks. I mean, to me they were fine, but like my penchant for hot wheels in the past, I'd rather go to a sit down restaurant. Yeah, well Taste of Korea has me rethinking my food truck aversion! Located in a pretty ordinary parking lot on Beach Blvd, this is definitely a little food truck that can deliver some fantastic food! The guy taking orders is super friendly and patient as a noob like me tried to figure out what to order. Ultimately went with the Premium Doshirak, the bibimbap and the kimbap. For both the doshirak and the bibimbap I got the bulgogi beef for the protein. On the kimbap I tried the ham. All were excellent. The Doshirak is a cool box filled with banchan - small side dishes, and cooked rice. The banchan include Kimche, Japchae, fried dumplings and some cool desserts. The blogs is excellent and all of the banchan tasted great. I thought the eggplant was a little mushy but the flavor was still really good. Bibimbap flavor was excellent as well. The only downside is that the rice at the bottom doesn't get all crunchy from being cooked at the bottom of the hot bowl. But it was a minor issue to me. And the kimbap was super fresh. The ham wasn't overpowering and it was a nice change from getting role bulgogi in the kimbap as well. The only wish I have is more variation on the proteins for the dishes we got. But the food is super tasty and I look forward to going back to try the fried chicken and well, anything else on the menu. Maybe I'll bring a matchbox car or two to help pass the time while waiting for the food!
