This is a local, family-owned business that I would gladly recommend to try! There aren't many decent Asian food options in the Springville/Spanish Fork area, I was so happy to find Goong! Every time I've come through, they've been quite busy, I'm so happy that others are also taking a liking to Korean food. The menu is quite extensive and ranges from sushi to Korean BBQ. I bookmarked Goong specifically for KBBQ. And they do not disappoint! In fact I love how accommodating and helpful they are! The gentleman assists in the KBBQ cooking and offers suggestions on how to season it. I'm no KBBQ virgin, but I appreciate it when he comes by to help me out. The banchan are also fantastic. Service is awesome! They come by regularly to fill water and check on everyone. I would definitely come here when I'm in the area!

Nice little Korean spot in Springville. They have kbbq and sushi. I went there for the oxtail soup. It came out bubbling hot! The meat was melt off the bone tender. It was really sweet though, too sweet for my taste in a savory dish, especially a broth. I also got the bulgogi bibimbap. I loved it because it came with so many vegetables and banchan.

Gangdam roll

Stopped here on the way out of town and it was the best decision ever. Fairly small restaurant but the food and service was top notch and completely unexpected. Appears to be family run. We were seated right away on a Friday evening for early dinner, but it quickly filled up. Seating area consists of multiple private booths which was nice. You have the option to grill your own meat at your seat or order from the various Japanese and Korean dishes. The variety was great and quality for the price was spectacular. We ordered a beef bento box, a Kim chi soup and a the gangdam roll which was wrapped in cucumber and so refreshing. The food came with three ban chan which consisted of Kim chi, pickled cucumbers and bean sprouts. They were all delicious and the perfect crunchy accompaniment. The bento box was a big helping of beef and sauteed onions over warm rice, a California roll, fried gyoza, cabbage salad, miso soup and an egg roll. My husband's Kim chi soup wasn't the most authentic tasting he said but his nonetheless. Service was quick and friendly and we left satiated and happy. They also offer amazing lunch and dinner specials throughout the week.

Lunch special - menu

Lunch here is a no brainer. AMAZING value, quick service, and top tier quality. We did the BBQ lunch for two and it was great. Got to pick ANY sushi roll to share - wasn't constrained to the cheap options, which was awesome. The meat turned out great and it was a memorable experience for my buddy and I.

Lucky Roll

Came in for a quick lunch and Goong has a great lunch specials. Select roll served with 2 potstickers and a drink for $10! I chose the lucky roll today, it was fresh and delicious. Our table was very clean as was all utensils and plates. Our waitress was very friendly and informative. We will definitely be back.

This was restaurant was amazing. We went for my wife's birthday and were treated like family. The food was amazing and the service was the best I have gotten at any restaurant I've been to in years. It was a smaller restaurant so the atmosphere was quiet and friendly. We will definitely make the drive from Salt Lake City many more times to enjoy the food and conversation with the owners.

chicken bento box
Jason ..

Wow. I rarely ever make yelp reviews, but I just had to for Goong. On the way to Yellowstone with my friends on a long 8 hour drive we were looking for a place to grab dinner. Goong was nearby but we saw it was closing in 30 minutes, so we called in to check if it was okay to come in and possibly stay after closing. A nice korean lady, (I think the owner), answered and she ushered us to come in regardless. When we came and sat down, she showed so much hospitality and was so nice. I ordered the chicken bento box and I have to say food is even better, better than the korean barbecues in California. Highly highly recommend. Side note: We also liked the music that was playing.

Menu- sushi rolls
Rachel G.

Best sushi in Utah county FOR SURE!! 25% off most rolls Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We love Goong and the friendly staff and delicious rolls!

Option C of the family style dinner... so much goodness!

LongHorn Steakhouse

(21 reviews)

This review is regarding Longhorn Steakhouse in Spanish Fork Utah…read more This was absolutely one of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant. My stepmom called in and ask if we needed to make reservations for our group of ten. We were told they don't do that it was a 20-30 minute wait. So we all went there, put our names on, they told us 20-30 minutes and we started waiting. Mind you we got there at 6:30 because my wife and I have a 19 month old and we were hoping to be able to hang out with our family, get our toddler fed, and then over to bed at a timely hour. 30 minutes turned into 45 minutes. But it's a restaurant, things happen so we weren't too upset at this point. Although we were confused because we did watch a huge group (bigger than ours) walk in after us and get seated. So my sister went in and asked where we were at in line and we were told we were priority and next to be seated. We then got to the hour mark and asked how much longer and we were told that the table we were going to be given had a party there that had already finished their meals fifteen minutes prior and were just talking . The hostess said they didn't want to be rude and ask them to get a move on. Which is weird considering there are people waiting to be sat. It is not rude to kindly ask a group to wrap it up because there are other people waiting. But again, we were told we were next and priority. So then an hour and thirty minutes comes up and we hear the manager call out for a party of nine. My step mom asked him what was going on because we were told we were next to which he responded "just give me a sec," which is quite comical considering we had, at that point, already given him about an extra 3,600 seconds on top of the 1,800 seconds we were told they needed to get our party seated. Totaling 5,200 seconds for those interested. So then an hour and 45 minutes comes up and the manager comes out and says he is only going to be able to get us seated in separate groups. We said okay, we were just wanting it to be over with. Our toddler was tired and we just needed to get him fed and home. Well, we ended up having to wait. And it got to be another 15 minutes. At which point we decided just leave. Unfortunately, my dad was pissed and went and told the Manager off. The Manager replied with "this is nothing new to me, it happens all the time." Which is actually revealing to this restaurant's management competency level. If you have people in your face a lot, then you are clearly doing something wrong. Whether it being the processes, systems, or communication problems. There is clearly something wrong that isn't being addressed. If you read through the reviews here, there is a common denominator: managers, and wait times, (I will leave the food out of it because we didn't get any. Although I did hear a woman leave who said "well that wasn't anything special, I'm probably never coming back." So I will give her a one star by proxy for the food element). But this being the common denominator on reviews doesn't just reveal how poor Zack and Brenden are as managers but actually how bad Chad is at managing his leaders of the restaurant. And that incompetency really just extends all the way up to the owners of the restaurant, who obviously cannot get a grip on how their restaurant is ran. Why go into business if you are just going to be incompetent, like aren't you embarrassed? The issue here is that simple communication would have been appreciated. Even a "hey guys, I'm sorry but we are an hour in and I don't think we are going to be able to get you seated," would have been understood, things happen. To be told we are only going to wait 20-30 minutes and then get strung along for an extra hour and a half is just crappy. Especially when we have a toddler. We tried to audible to Chilis but at that point it was 8:40 at night, they told us about 30 minutes so we just had to get our kid home and fed. So we got him home, fed him and just now putting him down at 9:15 at night. All-in-all a really crappy experience that strung us along, and then left us high and dry to a decent audible with the family.

My first time at a Longhorn. The waitress taking cate of us was fantastic, she kept up with our…read moredrinks before even asking. The "porterhouse", was a mere 22oz, not really a substantial portion. In my opinion, a porterhouse should be at minimum, a 32oz serving size. I always ask for rare or medium rare because when you normally ask for rare it normally comes medium rare. Unfortunately my small porterhouse came more medium, the dead cow is already dead so it was no need to overcook it. The meat was okay, not the best I've had. The ceasar salad had no discernible anchovy flavour at all, the brussel sprouts tasted like it was a little overcooked also.

Backdoor BRGR delivers on both atmosphere and food. The ambiance is fun and relaxed, with old…read morewestern movie posters and vintage travel posters lining the walls. The lighting and seating feel eclectic without being uncomfortable--casual, inviting, and easy to settle into. Our waitress, Avery, was excellent. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through the menu, which made ordering easy. We shared a large order of fries between the three of us, and they were more than enough. The fry sauce stood out immediately--definitely not the standard Utah variety--and genuinely excellent. On Avery's recommendation, I ordered the Cowboy in LA, and I'm very glad I did. The flavors were well-balanced and bold, and it was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. My son and his friend both ordered the Stoneman burger and agreed it was really good as well. Overall, this was a standout experience. I'd recommend Backdoor BRGR without hesitation--easily the best burger I've had in years.

It felt a little odd walking through the back @ first, as we got a little peek into the kitchen. It didn't seem like we should have been back there, but once we got to the host area, we were assured that entering through the back is completely fine. As we sat there, we noticed many people doing the same thing. The place is western theme. Lots of fun pictures on the walls, random lighting and chairs, I personally loved the vibe. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions on the menu. We felt right at home, great hospitality here. I wanted to try a burger that sounded really out of the ordinary, so I got the Grumpy Claire. It has apples on it, a savory caramel sauce, it just sounded insane, and I had to try it out. I also got an order of onion rings. The burger was cooked to perfection, had great flavor and was more delicious than I imagined. My husband got the Poco Bueno. I tried a bite, I did not like it. The reason I did not order it was because that sounded like a burger I'd find at any regular burger joint. The problem I had with the burger was the seasonings used. It tasted like a very strong taco seasoning was added to the patty. I do not like taco seasoning at all, so this was a No from me. My husband got an order of fries with his burger, which were very good! &Their fry sauce is amazing! The staff makes you feel like part of the family & check in on you consistently throughout your visit. The part that stood out the most was that not only was our waitress checking in on us, the other waitstaff would come by and ask how we were doing as well. The owner came over to chat with us too. She came up, introduced herself, asked how our meal was, and we talked with her for several minutes to follow. I appreciated that experience. I highly recommend trying Backdoor BRGR if you haven't yet! The pricing was fair, the staff is amazing, the owner is a sweetheart, and the food is incredible.
