Kogi is a cute Korean dive bar, and I've been meaning to come here for their happy hour! I came…read morewith your friends, and we were able to sample a lot of their appetizers, which were all very reasonably priced, as well as some of their cocktails. The food was pretty standard: nothing particularly unique or special, but solid and delicious. I thought the shrimp tempura was very well done. The calamari were a little bit underwhelming - it felt like they used the wrong batter over the rings? My friend also ordered one of the tofu kebab, which was kind of underwhelming in my opinion, but I'm hopeful that I might enjoy one of their beef based ones more. Unfortunately, I did seem like there was only one server/bartender in the restaurant, so it did take quite a while for the drinks to come out. Luckily, we weren't in a rush, so it was all right to wait. The drinks were very delicious, and I really liked the one that came in the Cat mug! I want to come back and try more of the items on their menu!

We went in on a Friday evening and the restaurant was busy. We were starving and ordered 2 entrees…read moreand 1 appetizer. The wings were advertised as double fried so I expected it to be more like a Bon Chon friend chicken wing, but it did not taste battered enough in my opinion. The flavor was still great and they were fresh. I was excited to try the Angry Squid, but the portion was a bit disappointing. The dish was full of flavor; however, it came with two pieces of shrimp and a handful of squid rings. Bulgogi ribeye bibimbap 4/5 - a bit on the saltier side but still had great flavor. I was happy with how fresh everything came out and the ambiance inside was nice. The server was attentive and the food came out quick. Would love to come back for their happy hour that includes 1.50 soju shots and $1 per dumplings (offered M-F 4-7p)

The place seemed very authentic and there were a lot of great options on the menu. My husband and I got the fruit wine and it was very sweet and delicious. I got the bulgogi stew and my husband got the bulgogi dish. The food came out very hot and smelt delicious. There was also a bunch of sides for the table that come out with them. Bean sprouts, kimchi, broccoli, and cucumber salad. All were very good. The stew was amazing. Super filling so I couldn't finish it but I wish I could. I definitely want to go back and try more food!

They even have vegan kimchi and were so nice to bring out vegan gochujang because the one they have on the table is not vegan. We got the dolsat bibimbap and I always say the stone bowl is absolutely worth the extra money. The best part is always the crispy rice. Tteokbokki Having a vegan option without seafood was a great find. Most of the time the sauces have shellfish in them and I don't have the patience to make it from scratch. The noodles were cooked perfectly and they give you two vegetable dumplings on top. The sauce was nice and spicy without being too overwhelming. Kimchi pancakes: wish they had a bit more kimchi in them than the batter, but still good. Japchae with tofu, nice and almost beefy tasting. The black pepper was a nice punch. Korean fried tofu so nice and crispy with a really good sauce. I have been missing KFC since I turned vegan and good to know they have a good substitute for it. Service A good sized family run place where you can sit down or get take out. You order at the counter and they have a screen or you can be like us and take their paper menu to a table. A few four sized tables and some smaller two seaters. There was plenty of take out and delivery while we were seated. The person at the front was super helpful and patient as we tried to figure out what to order. They seemed busy and did not stop for too long the entire time. They came to bring us things and check in on us. Please use reusable cups for dining in and not styrofoam cups though! They have reusable utensils which is nice. Ambiance It's a fast casual place, but in a little strip mall in the county. They have K-pop playing and a stream of music videos so I didn't mind.

I just moved to Richmond and I'm about a mile away from Kobop and I almost regret trying them today…read morebecause I don't know how I'll resist coming all of the time! I was drawn in by a social media post advertising their Tuesday special, the Bulgogi Crunchwrap. I thought it would be a delightful ode to the OG but that the resemblance would be in appearance only. Boy was I wrong. My first bite flooded me with memories of begging my mom to stop at Taco Bell on my way home from high school just so I could have a crunchwrap. In the almost 30 years (damn) since then I've tried to eat it a couple of times but beyond the ick the quality of ingredients gives me, the flavor disappointed more each time. The Kobop version is an elevated take that produces the same meaty, crunchy, crispy, and creamy mouth feel while exponentially enhancing the flavor with Bulgogi beef and a zippy sauce. My only concern is that it's so big that I'm taking half home and with shredded lettuce inside it won't reheat well. Looks like there's a second dinner instore for me. Beyond this delightful experience, I also couldn't resist trying the Snack Pack, a happy hour treat including a taco, 3 dumplings, and Nashville fries for $9. It was an easy way to sample several menu items without an overwhelming bill. The Väsen bartenders were lovely, the kitchen staff was warm, and if I were a drinker, the beers look fantastic. Can't wait to come back with friends!

We stopped by for drinks and dinner and were immediately impressed by the setup. Located inside Väsen, the food operation has a cool food truck-style pickup window at the back of the brewery when your pager goes off (order at the bar). It's casual, efficient, and adds to the fun atmosphere. Most importantly, the food was absolutely exceptional. Every dish we tried delivered huge flavor and was packed with personality. This is the kind of food that makes you stop mid-conversation and comment on how good it is. The bar service was equally impressive. We placed our order through the bartender, and despite it being a Tuesday evening, there was plenty of staff on hand. Multiple team members checked on us throughout our visit, and every interaction was friendly, welcoming, and genuine. What really stood out was the sense of community. Although it's a relatively new addition to the Forest Hill area, it's already clear that locals have embraced it. They even have branded merchandise and cycling gloves for sale, and during our visit we watched several cyclists roll up, hop off their road bikes, and come inside still wearing their cycling gear. It felt like a true neighborhood gathering spot. Places like this give a neighborhood character, and Kobop Korean feels like something special. Outstanding food, great service, a fun atmosphere, and strong local roots. We'll absolutely be back.

Vibes - our waitress was kind and quick but this restaurant isn't the place to come if you value aesthetics. Food - we were a bit disappointed but I think we were just under the wrong impression about what the food would be like. The sign outside says bbq, wings and beer so we were expecting a very different menu. This place seems to serve more Asian fusion. That said the wings had a really great texture that we enjoyed! There are A LOT of sauces to choose from and it's difficult to know what they'll taste like. We spent 30+ on 12 wings so definitely pricey. In the end, we left underwhelmed BUT it might have been our expectations that were off.

Bb.q chicken Cary street…read more6pm Saturday Not busy at all for a dine in option. Only 3 tables had customers. I ordered the soy garlic wings, bone in. I really wanted to try the kimchi fried rice, but that comes in a pretty big serving and they didn't have that as a side option. So I ordered white rice. The waiter said he's gonna ask if I can get a side of kimchi because that's also not an option as a side order. It's a no go for a side of kimchi. They said it's a different kind of kimchi they use for the rice dishes. Oh well, maybe I can suggest that be an option in the future. Someone told me that this place was better than Bonchon so I'm gonna compare the two. It's definitely a friendly, family atmosphere. Plenty of options on the menu. Outside dining as well as inside. Appears to be very clean. Rice - mushy not how I like it. it has a hint of something it's not regular white rice. But it's also not Jasmine because I like Jasmine rice. Interesting. I definitely expected better rice. Not rice pudding. I didn't know the wings came with French fries but they were bland. Not even any salt. Chicken- they only gave me 2 flats and 6 little drumsticks. Ok, it's a little spicy which was also unexpected. I really don't care for them at all. The waiter was nice and checked on me a few times. I wasn't offered any ranch or blue cheese or any other kind of dip for that matter. I asked if they had buttermilk ranch, they did not, just regular ranch. No offering of wetnaps either. I had to pour some water on a napkin to wipe my hands. Since I said I'm comparing, I'm gonna have to give it to Bonchon for the better wings, the better taste of the soy garlic, and the rice. Sorry bb.q I'm disappointed.
