Had a new menu which means price has changed. We got two items. The mandoo and seafood ganchajang. Our server brought out the banchan (cabbage kimchee, daikon, fresh chopped onions and choon jang). Boiled chicken mandoo was ok. Nothing great but wasn't bad. 2nd dish sauce was bit salty and less of noodles. Maybe we were hungry? Either case, service was prompt, food came out quickly. Thank you!

This place has been on my list for a while and finally got the opportunity to try it out. The…read moreinterior is very nicely decorated. We sat at a semi private table and we were immediately given a pitcher of ice cold water. I was very excited to try the tofu here! We ordered the tofu karaage which was deliciously crunchy and came with a really good sweet sauce. Next came out the banchan which were plentiful (see pic). I was starting to get pretty full at this point! I ordered the tofu kimchi stir fry with pork and it was really good and just the right level of spice. The portion was HUGE. I brought half home. It also came with the choice of white or purple rice. My husband got bibimbap and it came out piping out. He cleared the plate. Service was incredibly quick and friendly. Prices were very good for all the food we got. I can't wait to go back!

Been wanting to visit for years but always stalled by friends' "so so" comments. Glad I finally…read morecame to try Tofu Story for myself. I definitely enjoyed my tofu stew, the tofu was so silky I almost bought some to take home (but couldn't because it needed refrigeration and we weren't heading home right away on that hot day) I also absolutely adored the potato pancake, something I've never had and thought the flavor and texture is so much better than the seafood pancake usually eaten at K-bbq. Gotta love the starch!! Friends ordered grilled meats and I snuck a tiny bit to taste (since I can't handle their level of spiciness! ) they were delicious. The grilled meats and potato pancake go surprisingly well with the purple rice which might have ended up being my most favorite side dish! The grilled fish was ok. I've had better. But all the little appetizing dishes accustomed to Korean cuisine were fantastic! Will definitely come back!

I had such high hopes for this place so when the food didn't impress me, I had nothing but ruined…read moreexpectations. I believe I noticed this restaurant 6+months ago when they first put up the sign. It sure was a long wait before it had finally opened its doors a few+ weeks ago. Congratulations Ugly Rice! I had heard so much about you and now that it's open, before people start flocking I made my way to it just today to experience it myself. It's located in somewhat off the beaten path. The area where Ugly Rice is located is a bit of a pocket. Fortunately for me though it's less than 10 minutes drive from my house. I perused the menu ahead of time so I knew what I was going to get: Bibimbap!! $17 wasn't necessarily super reasonable but for a good Korean street food people are raving about, I was willing to pay the buck. I also got me a side kimchi to enhance my meal. As soon as I got back to my car I opened the container. Then I was like, "What?" To my surprise, the portion was simply okay-ish, Well it kind of looked a bit skimpy. When I got to the core of it (the taste of food), I got more puzzled. The assortment of seasoned vegetables tasted bland. The meat's portion was also small. The seasoning in it was good but it wasn't impressive in any way. The side kimchi too didn't impress me either. Again "okay-ish" but no more. The fried egg in the center was also small (LOL) and it looked like something that was premade hours ago it it didn't look fresh at all. After writing all of this however, I have one positive feedback I can give: the service!! The man upfront was so warm and kind. As I was getting ready to leave two ladies came in and greeted the man. I immediately knew at that point that they were part of the business. And the ladies said a very meaningful "Thank you" to me as I was leaving. At least I was warmly welcomed and received by the worker. The restaurant inside is quite simple but here and there I saw some cute Korean decors to indicate the kind of cuisine they serve. On the TV screen, they had some Korean pop girl group artists. It couldn't get more Korean than this. Cute and adorable! Now the question is, do I go back to utilize this restaurant again? Maybe. As I found some other menu items quite intriguing if I think of some quick Korean street food again, this new location of Ugly Rice has most of it.

This is only the second soondae restaurant I've visited in the U.S., but my Korean…read moresister-in-law--who lived in Korea for more than 25 years and has eaten at many soondae restaurants--was genuinely impressed. That's a pretty strong endorsement. Also the interior of the restaurant was fairly modern and clean. For anyone unfamiliar with it, soondae (순대) is a traditional Korean blood sausage made by stuffing pork or beef intestines with a mixture of blood, glass noodles, rice or starch, and seasonings. It's one of Korea's most popular street foods and is typically enjoyed with salt or a dipping sauce. One thing to know before you go: this restaurant specializes in soup-based dishes. Every entrée revolves around soup, including the bulgogi. I had never seen bulgogi served in a broth before, so it was a pleasant surprise for both my boyfriend and me. Most of the soups also included clear glass noodles and came in a wide variety of combinations, so there were plenty of options to choose from. One detail I really appreciated was their takeout packaging. If you have leftovers, they use a professional heat-sealing machine that applies a thin plastic seal over the container before the lid goes on. It's a thoughtful touch that keeps the soup leak-proof and makes transporting leftovers much easier. If you're craving authentic Korean comfort food--especially soondae soup--this place is definitely worth a visit.

this may have been the best short rib of my life,,,thank god you have another location,,,san diego…read morewill be seeing me when we ordered, i thought things were a bit expensive. however when the dish came out, i realized it had MASSSSSSSIVEEE chunks of meat on even larger bones. the sauce was sweet, not to an unbalanced profile, but it complemented the spice and savoriness of the meat. i floated after the first bite wow it was really tender as well. i appreciate the tongs, scissors, and glove that the gave us too! it helped with eating the whole thing. i kid you not this was some of the best banchan ive had too. the kimchi had a great slight fishiness, not too tart which is perfect for me. both the radish and kimchi had the freshest crunch that is sometimes hard to come by. usually i'm used to more variety but the flavors and textures of these two. the spicy brisket stew was delicious!! reminded me of mama instant noodle taste which i love. i wish there were more glass noodles but there was soooooo much brisket that substituted my craving well. the tteokbokki was probably the most underwhelming dish. i think for $10, the portion is tiny and the sauce is just mild and a big thinner than im used to. the tteok itself was a good texture, but the short rib dish had tteok too which was swimming in that heavenly sauce. we just ended up mixing the tteok and short rib dish to create the best of both worlds. i love how they package their to go containers too - airtight fast service and kind owners

I was looking for galbi tang and the closest location near Westminster was 30 minutes away (so not…read moreclose at all). I'm glad we came and discovered another restaurant we can add to our list. It's def a more modern Korean restaurant from the interior alone. But food was delicious. I was interested in a lot of items on the menu u so it was hard to choose from. The dakgalbi lunch special was an actual full on lunch with sides and soup. The galbi tang was pretty good. The meat is some of the best I've had in CO. It was very tender and fell off the bone very easily. The La galbi was so good and flavorful. When it's mixed with the onions and veggies and rice, everything tastes really good combined. I would skip on the pancakes because they were a little burnt. We saw a different one come out and it was also burnt. Otherwise, eat around because it's quite flavorful.

Located right next to Hmart, small space and not the most aesthetic place in the area, but the food…read moreand service is always amazing! This is always our to go spot to grab some classic chinese dishes. We always get their roast duck! Came in on July 4th and was a little busier than usual, however I was greeted fast by the friendly staff and got taken care of as soon as they can. Let me know that it was gonna be a while (we had placed an order of one whole roast duck and one chicken rice plate dish to go). I said no problem as I was gonna do groceries next door to HMart anyways along with the other customers as well. Came back and had to wait only a couple more minutes, I can tell they were pack but no problem at all as I was very happy to see some very fresh, crispy, and awesome looking ducks being brought out to hang so was super stoked right away. The roast duck is my familys favorite and this time came out even better than before maybe because it was so fresh. Ctispy skin and tender meat packing with awesome authentic flavors. I had the chicken with rice to try for the first time and that was so good as well! Will definetely order it more next time as well!

**Ambiance** This…read moreplace definitely gives off a hole-in-the-wall vibe, which honestly is one of my favorite kinds of places. It reminded me a lot of those tiny roast meat shops and restaurant stalls you'd find in NYC's Chinatown. The dining area is pretty small, so it can get a little warm inside, but they do have AC units and fans running to help keep things comfortable. There are only four tables indoors--two larger tables that can fit about four people each and two smaller tables for two. They also have a few tables outside if you'd rather sit outdoors. **Service** Service was great. The lady working there was super friendly and spoke English, Cantonese, and Mandarin fluently. She was welcoming, patient, and happy to answer questions. **Food** The star of the show is definitely the roasted meats. They make their own roast duck, roast pork, and BBQ pork in-house, and everything I tried was delicious. As someone who grew up eating a lot of Chinese BBQ in Las Vegas, I have to admit I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the meat here. The quality and flavor were honestly better than many places I've tried back home, and Vegas has no shortage of Chinese restaurants. The BBQ pork especially stood out. It was mostly lean meat with just the right amount of fat for flavor. A lot of places load it up with huge layers of fat, and you end up feeling like you're chewing more fat than meat. Here, every bite felt balanced and flavorful. **Overall** Now that I know they're right next to H Mart, I can definitely see myself making the drive whenever I'm craving roast duck, roast pork, or BBQ pork. The reality is there really isn't anywhere else in Colorado Springs that specializes in Cantonese-style roasted meats like this, so if that's what you're craving, this is the place to go.
