This is such a unique restaurant to have here in Central Texas. You just don't see many Korean-style restaurants around this area, and we've really enjoyed having something different to go to. I originally went specifically to try the Korean fried chicken and, somehow, after several visits I still haven't actually ordered it. My kids love it, so I usually steal a bite or two of theirs, but there are so many other things on the menu that I keep getting distracted and trying something different. We've had the ramen, corn dogs, and several of the street food options, and everything has been good. Last time we tried the cream cheese puffs for dessert, and those were excellent too. I still haven't tried the boba because the portions are pretty generous and there are too many other things I want to eat. I can only justify so many calories in one trip! They also have Ramune and other Asian drinks, and K-pop playing on the TVs adds to the atmosphere. They use a bell at the table when you need service, which I'll admit feels a little awkward to me. I hate ringing a bell to call someone over, but that's how they do it, so I'll respect the system! Next on my list is the bulgogi...assuming I don't get distracted by something else on the menu again. Great little restaurant, and we'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Here's another place my famz wanted me to have. I'm glad to see that more varieties of restaurants are popping up. Speaking of... not only is there a K-Pop craze. There's also a fried food trend. While I try to avoid fried food, I was willing to taste some from this place to see what all the rave was about. The nice crisp of their chicken was appetizing. It's nose-dripping spicy and sweet which pairs well with beer. "Rationalizing" to eat a bit healthier, I ordered their fried tofu (ahahaa). Filler up with some rice and corn - tasty stuff! K1 The Bloom is a great spot for enjoyable grubs. They have fun drinks; non-alcoholic and buzz worthy. Ask about paraphernalia... There were some T-shirts hanging on the wall. They're open late and TV entertainment is provided. I'm bound to try them again. read more

Client of mine told me about this place today. And boy am i glad he did. Upon entering this place looked really cool inside. They had kpop culture everywhere and on the tv. Lot of drinks to choose from and looked well kept. We ordered several things off the menu and enjoyed it all. I'm not sure what was my favorite because I'd get it all again. Wings were perfect. Kimchi fries full of flavor. And the waiters were on point with everything! Well done for my first visit guys! Thank you much! And will see you again! read more

I did not expect such a trendy Korean restaurant to exist in Belton. It is such a vibe. I love how they have K-pop music videos playing. My first time visiting, my friend and I shared the mild sweet and spicy chicken wings. These were really good. She had the Korean ramen without spice, and it was very bland. I got the beef bulgogi, which was good, but not as flavourful as I expected. My second time, my friend and I shared kimchi fries. These were sooooo good and flavourful. I was such a big fan. She got the Korean corn dog, which she said was okay. I got the pork tonkotsu, and it was super bland. It was such a letdown. I had never previously had a bad tonkotsu before this one. There was so little flavour, and there wasn't really any sauce on it. I snagged a bottle of sauce from another table, but it didn't really compliment the pork well. The food is notably pricey here. Being able to press a button to call a server is an amazing feature, and they do come pretty quickly. However, during my second visit one of the servers forgot to bring the rice for my tonkotsu, and a different server forgot to bring my to-go box. read more

First of all this is not Korean food. It's a hipster college twist of Korean food! It was the worst place I have ever eaten. I hate to be so ugly about it but the food was terrible. If you want some good Korean food, look up Miso in Temple, sorry K1 I know you tried but you sold out to the young college students that have no idea what good food is yet! Just sayin...don't even want to post a photo. read more

i love that this place is open late and that service is quick and casual. best food to get here are the kimchi fries (with bulgogi of course)! read more

Strawberry yogurt smoothies!!! It's a fine delicacy. It's reminds me of a strawberry cheesecake. Price for a large is very reasonable.

I have been here several times and have never been disappointed! The service is prompt and I haven't had to wait for a table before. Once seated, you push a button on the table when you are ready to order. The food is delicious! I have tried several menu items but my favorite is the pork belly with kimchi (get it spicy!). The soju slush drinks with popping boba are tasty as well (my favorite flavor is strawberry). They do have loud music playing with music videos on the TV. read more

K1 The Bloom 11-30-24 Had lunch here with family! Nice dining room and friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was very friendly and explained a lot of the menu to us. We ordered lots of food! Appetizers and Main Courses. The service was great! They brought the food out at a steady pace! Very good food! We had: TTeokbokki with Ramyun Noodles, Boiled Egg and Mozzarella. Soy Garlic Chicken Rice Bowl. Chicken was tender and flavorful. Soy Pork Belly Rice Bowl. Had a great taste but Pork Belly was a little tough for me. Bone in Wings with Snow Cheese. (Oh my Gosh! Got to try the Snow Cheese!) never has anything like it! Sweet tasting!) Boneless Wings with Soy Garlic. Crispy wings with great garlic flavor! Fried Mandi. Flavorful and good. Kimchi Fries with Bulgogi. Good fries not much of a kimchi flavor. More jalapeño flavor. They were ok but not my favorite. Steamed Mandi. Great taste. Potato Corn Dog with Cheese and Sausage. WOW, I'll be going back for more of this! The cheese was soft and not rubbery, the potato outside had a wonderful crunch to it and the stuff they put on it just made it great. We were very pleased with the service and the food. Will definitely go back. read more

Outstanding selection , fresh and tasty dishes, and top notch service Staff could not have been more attentive. Quality is evident everywhere read more

Don't waste your time with this food if you want authenticity. We were highly disappointed with the bulgogi bowel. The dish tasted rushed & incomplete with authentic ingredients. Meal comes with no side of Kimchi etc. The side of Kimchi we purchased was not authentic either. The atmosphere is nice & clean but the food was terrible. If you are the type that really doesn't know what authentic Korean food is supposed to taste like this may be the place for you. My advice steer clear, it's not worth your time or money. read more

Good food. But if there's more than 4 tables of customers time stands still. Nothing is streamlined including the design of the parking lot and the seating process. Everyone is in everyone else's way. The previous place was 10 times worse and that's why it failed. Some minor adjustments to make it flow better. Food is excellent read more

I wish I would had remembered to take pictures! This place was poppin' with the music.

I've been meaning to try this place since it opened just never got around to it. Finally had that chance to stop by and get some chicken for take out, and as a Korean dude was pretty disappointed tbh. Guess I'll just have to go to Austin when I want some Korean chicken, it is what it is read more

super delisioso. I love the k-pop vibes so much makes me feel like I'm at a Korean spot forreal

Good food, horrible service. We had the sweet & spicy fried chicken, chicken katsu, and pork belly. How were the drinks? I wouldn't know, because they never came out even when the server was reminded. The place was being run by a bunch of teenagers huddled in the back on their phones. I had to ring the bell to get someone's attention for a family waiting at the front forever to be seated. I'd consider getting takeout or delivery, but avoid the dining area. read more

Had the bulgogi bowl and mild sweet and spicy wings and both were fantastic. The bulgogi was some of the best I've had and the wings were incredibly crispy. Definitely will return to try the rest of their menu. Service was great and the place was clean. Music was a little loud. read more

I did not enjoy the food and at the bottom of the menu it says "no refund or exchanges" on dishes. Everything lacked basic salt. Got overlooked multiple times (even after ringing bell) and customers that were seated after us got served and finished their meal before us. I also was double charged for my order at the end of the visit (that I found on my credit card statement both had posted)* Overall I did not enjoy my visit. *I was able to get in touch with the manager and she refunded one of the transactions read more

Very good, some of the best wings. Can't wait to try some new things...................................................

Such a fun find in Belton. Great Korean food, bulgogi was so good. We'll be back for sure.

They have some good KPop playing, if your into that :-) Service has been good every time we go. We've been here for lunch and dinner but dinner is my favorite because they have Cheese Buldak. I crave it! It's so large so I get that and ask for rice...split it in half and take the other half home. I do not share. lol. read more

Elevated dining! The food seasoned perfectly! Everything was so fresh. The flavors stood out and were so delicate on the palate. We tried the fried dumplings, the chicken skewers, and bulgogi. Every dish was such a delight! The star of the meal was a strawberry slush with popping boba! This was not merely a meal but an experience! It's a must try! read more

My wife and I stopped by here after driving by way too many times. Ambiance is true Korean with BTS and BlackPink playing on the TV and Korean beer ads all over the wall. We said we "weren't hungry" so we just went with simple items - Korean Fried Chicken and Kimchi Fries. Now, there is a chain in Austin that is known for their Kimchi Fries that we frequent often. And these hung in there with the originals we hadn't had a comparison - these would be mind blowing. Still excellent. But the star for us was the Korean Fried Chicken. We got the boneless and I believe it was the "spicy" sweet and spicy sauce. We just weren't expecting how good it was. The food isn't expensive - and it's not cheap. I think it's priced reasonably. Staff was courteous and timely. We want to try the Cheese Buldak and the Gui Gui (pork belly). But we'll probably always get an order of chicken also. For us, it's cool to have a place like this in Belton, where it's mostly mexican food and burgers. read more

We ordered soy garlic wings, regular bbq wings and fries. The wings were delicious, not greasy, tender and great seasoning. The fries were good but nothing special. The service was great and we will definitely be back. And in reference to previous review, all I saw on the tv were multiple K-pop videos ‍. read more

just left restaurant after waiting 40 minutes only to be told they couldn't find our order. not just poor service but BAD. I wish I could comment I food but we never got any to taste read more

I always get the same thing ever time I go. The chicken tenders and the mandoo. They always have given a pound of chicken tenders and it's 11.99, but there are so many. This time I got 4 chicken tenders for 11.99! My total bill was over 25.00 dollars! Never again! Last time you get my money or my business. Check your food and your receipts. read more
