This is a must if you're in Manhattan. The line is narrow going in and out, and you're literally rubbing shoulders with the opposite line -- that's how tight the space is. You make your way to the front, order, and within moments your food is ready. Pro move -- cross the street, grab a bench at the park, and dig in. The char siu is a standout -- ask for slightly fatty pieces for the best flavor and tenderness. Portions are piled high over white rice with steamed cabbage. The roast pork is just as good -- crispy crackling skin with juicy, succulent meat. Great value overall, but be aware it's cash only. Overall, an iconic, no-frills spot delivering big flavor and even bigger portions -- absolutely worth it. Saluti.

The same day I went here I ate tacos at two other places and had a taco showdown. This place won hands down! Who needs seats, eat, enjoy, use the big trash can and come again tomorrow. Enjoy!

I was looking for a somewhat healthier meal with veggies and protein, and KOBA checked those marks…read moreand more! They have a big menu to choose from spanning from fried rice, kimbap, bibimbap, to stews and more. Their signature "make your own bowl" had so many options, came generously portioned, and was so colorful and tasty :D The customization starts with a base: white rice, multigrain rice, japchae (noodles), or salad bases and moves onto a loooong list of toppings. A few of the more interesting ones like bellflower and fern brake roots were sold out when I ordered for dinner. And who else offers a fried egg for no additional charge as a topping? The toppings are yummy by themselves because they are already cooked or marinated. Definitely a great way to get one's vegetables! Proteins include bulgogi, pork belly, garlic chicken, spicy chicken, tofu, and even spicy squid. For kalbi, there's an additional cheese. The bulgogi was well seasoned and hit the spot! A little on the sweeter side but I didn't mind. The texture of the meat is mushier than the usual bulgogi, more of a Philly cheesesteak texture, but tasty nonetheless~ Don't count on this being authentically Korean. The bowls come with sauce options, but everything was so flavorful that I didn't use any! I agree on the hefty portion size; it's enough for a big meal if you're hungry and otherwise two lighter portions. Since the flavors, color, tastes, and flavors were so delightful, I finished it all so don't count on it lasting for multiple meals :) Patrons can order at the kiosks up front or schedule online to pickup. There's plenty of seating that looks fairly comfortable. Service was friendly enough. For more than $20 with tip, it's kind of expensive for a meal, but for the variety, taste, and relative healthiness, this meal was on point!

The FiDi location for KOBA is excellent, definitely a top choice for fast casual Korean food. I've…read moregotten lunch delivered from here multiple times, and it's a consistent winner in terms of quality, spice, and massive portion size. The kimchi fried rice is so good, it's a big bowl with spicy rice, kimchi, little cubes of beef, and a fried egg to top it all off. Even after surviving the bike delivery transit, the bowl looks great and tastes even better. It's got a nice heat to it that makes the otherwise heavy ingredients taste even more interesting. And I'm not kidding about portions...I've never been able to make it through more than half a bowl, and usually have to stop after a third!

They cook it right in front of you and it can get a bit hectic standing at the front telling them what you want on your taco, but I think it's worth trying at least once. I think it is on the pricey side but I haven't had the chance to try tacos anywhere else in New York, and this spot is pretty conveniently near the main tourist spot. If you're really craving a good taco and don't want to go taking a risk elsewhere, then this is the right choice.

They have such a wide variety of interesting flavours and combinations, so I had a hard time deciding what to get. I ended up getting the honey garlic chicken burger combo and sweet chili chick n pop. The burger was one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had - the bun was light and fluffy, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned with the sweet honey sauce. The fries were pretty solid, but didn't stand out. I really enjoyed the truffle aioli sauce that I chose to come with it! I also loved the sweet chili chick n pop. I got the sauces on the side, but both were super good on their own or combined together. They're perfect little bites of crispy chicken and sauce! I'm super interested in trying the other flavours of fried chicken that they have. Food came delivered super quick - they did forget my drink in my combo, but I assume they might've just not had it.
