The restaurant actually has a separate bar area and then the main dining room with an open kitchen. There are lovely large windows and high ceilings in the main room, which was much bigger than I expected from the outside. We started off with cocktails and then switched to wine with dinner. Our server was very knowledgeable and gave great descriptions and recommendations. We knew we wanted dim sum to start, so we ordered it off the menu instead of waiting for the cart to come around. I was surprised at how big the portions were! You could absolutely share with 4 people or create a meal from just the dim sum. Again, everything was amazing. We tried the squid ink dumplings, long beans (green beans) and fatty tuna. yum yum. For dinner we ordered the Buldak Gnochi (gochujang braised chicken, scallions and mozzarella) and the Mapo Tofu with egg tofu. They were outstanding, and with the appetizers we ordered, we both took 1/2-1/3d portions of our dinner home to eat for lunch the next day. We appreciated that our leftovers were boxed for us in the kitchen and nicely labeled! For dessert we had the miso caramel torte. The price for the quality of food was great. I can't wait to go back here and try more items!

Pretty much everything was average and relatively pricey for the flavor, so the most I can give is…read more3 stars because of how they have both Korean and Japanese dishes in one place. I have had Korean BBQ here before as well and honestly I thought it was pretty decent. I ordered the bibimbap and it was very sloppily made with not enough ingredients. I used a good amount of gochujang for flavor which was normal but even the vegetables included in the original bowl were very plain. The japchae was pretty good as the vermicelli noodles were very flavorful. I would've preferred to see some more bell pepper pieces in it, though. My partner got the salmon roe nigiri, the agedashi tofu, and the soft tofu stew. They thought those dishes were pretty good. The agedashi tofu specifically, however, was a bit too soft in terms of its outer skin. I don't think this establishment would be one that I'd choose to visit if I am to bring friends to either Korean or Japanese food places in the Twin Cities, and it seems like others agree according to their reviews.

AYCE for Korean BBQ and sushi for $49 and definitely worth it in my opinion!…read more Walked in without a reservation on a Saturday evening. Plenty of tables available and lots of parking on the street. The place was pretty full by the time we left. The restaurant is huge with a good ambiance. Clean and not too loud. Bathrooms are a small journey to get to. They are shared bathrooms and on the lower level. Staff were attentive and kind. There was a call button on our table, but we never needed it. If you opt for AYCE, you mark your choices on a sheet of paper. You're given some marinated tofu, broccoli, tofu, kimchi, sprouts, greens to begin with. We ordered beef bulgogi, spicy pork, pork belly, and brisket. I probably could have done without the brisket or pork belly. Brisket dried out super fast and the pork belly was a little too fatty. Also ordered gyoza, fried rice, black bean noodles, seaweed salad, and a shrimp tempura roll. All were delicious, but we ended up with far too much food for just two people. At the end we were given ice cream. It was individually wrapped so we took it to go since we were so full. I'd definitely return again in the future!

We actually really liked our dinner at Hoban BBQ. Other than all the construction on Lake/Hennepin…read morestreets, which is not their fault (but definitely be aware of it when getting here), our meal was nearly flawless. All of the dishes we tried were great. For appetizers, we had mandu, a scallion pancake, tteokbokki, and tempura veggies. All of the portions were HUGE, and everything tasted great (especially the pancake, it's a MUST ORDER dish!). We also got spicy pork and beef bulgogi to BBQ. Both of those portions were also huge, and tasted amazing. Everything about the grill worked well, and the ventilation was great (we didn't smell like BBQ at all after). They have one type of Korean beer on tap (which is basically all you can get in Minnesota). The service was pretty quick and friendly. The restaurant was very clean (they spent a lot of time cleaning each place setting after guests left their tables), and the bathrooms were good too. Do keep in mind, many of the streets around here are torn up for construction over the summer, so allow lots of extra time, and plan to park in one of the two nearby garages as there is almost no street parking.

It sounded wonderful because you never see fried rice with Beef, Chicken and Shrimp in one dish. (I always have to ask if it's possible to mix the protein options.) It didn't disappoint! So much good protein with fried rice! I must admit it tasted a little bland, so I asked for gluten free soy sauce and they had it! That made the dish perfect! Our server was so fast, competent and organized to serve almost 30 of us and keep the checks straight. The place is modern and comfortable.

It was literally the top of the chili oil jar LITERALLY JUST the clear red oil like who does that??! AND an Asian person even served me that... what the HECK DUDE THAT IS MESSED UP! I have no idea why this place is still in the North Loop. The general Tsos is all fried exterior breading & very thin tough old chewy meat inside... very odd for a Chinese restaurant. Panda Express is better than here. They use real chow fun noodles, however, slimy greasy AF... so greasy... it slides off the chopsticks.. WHAT IN THE WORLD is going on here??! The small portions aren't even worth the price! Very disappointing. Who is even keeping this place open is there really an Asian mafia with all this money to lose cuz nobody I mean nobody eats here! I wish a better Asian restaurant would come in here. Nobody even eats here it's dead AF in here! Disgrace to Asian cuisine. Zero stars not even worth posting about.

I did ask for a spot upstairs but they were full (understandably so) the downstairs is dark and really doesn't have any type of personality. Didn't make for a fun eating environment. Our server was just ok. She did her job but at points it felt awkward or forced. For once we actually enjoyed when the waitress wasn't paying attention to our table. The drinks were good but due to the crappy environment and awkward service, we only did one round of drinks. The food all tasted the same... and it may have been from the dishes we ordered, but unlike lat14 and khaluna, this place just seemed to have the same deep fried pieces of fish and basil leafs for everything. If this had been my first experience, I wouldn't go back. If you are planning on eating here, ask to sit upstairs! It is so much prettier!!

We ended up going back the next day to pick up lunch for our group. They didnt pick up the phone so…read morewe weren't able to order ahead of time, but the food from their cafe/take out area came out quite quickly. The crab rangoo pastry was a slight disappointment as it lost some of that sinful simplicity of a typical deep fried crab rangoo. The passion fruit mango stuffed cube was the most popular among the group and we wished we had gotten two of them. The green salad was simple, but the dressing was tasty and the shrimp were plump and well cooked. We got the mild papaya salad which still has a bit of a kick if you're sensitive, but it was a generous portion and it was an enjoyable crunchy acidic and fresh dish. The pan fried noodles worked very well as a side dish, but would have been a less exciting main compared with the other dishes. The sweet and sour pork with the fatty and soft chunks of pork belly were delicious with the sticky rice. The greens weren't my favorite, but I generally don't enjoy collard greens of any variety. While you don't get the beautiful plating that Diane's place does when you get the dishes to-go, it's worth doing if you don't have time for a full meal.

Sauce was delicious and so were the pickles. Staff was friendly and if you haven't been to Malcom yard, inside is spacious and feels like a brewery. If I happen to be there again, i would debate trying the sandwich, but it's not a place I'd got out of my way to visit.

It was a little garlic heavy but I do know that for Korean food they do use a lot of garlic so that's fine. It was just a personal thing The thing that I had the most issue with was the service and the staff when I walked in and looked at the menu. The prices were a little deceiving because they hadn't changed it to what the normal price is outside of the the 11am-3pm time window. Then the cashier proceeded to explain why it was that much and different combos that are proof that it's a cheaper deal. I specifically asked for my food to come in a to-go container and, because he was on his phone the entire time that I was ordering, hear me say that so my food came out on a normal platter. Which is fine just a little inconvenient. Then this couple came into the restaurant, that didn't look like they worked there, went right back into the kitchen, which made me very uncomfortable because I'm really big on cleanliness especially around food so I ended up not eating all of my food for that reason. The couple bites of food I had was delicious. I just think that food safety and professionalism needs to be worked on for sure. Probably won't be back, which is a bummer. I hope they work through their problems!
