    Bulgogi Bowl

    Great bowls and sushi! Their bulgogi bowl is insanely delish; the meat is super tender and everything in the bowl works wonderfully together. Their mini spring rolls are perfectly crispy and you get a bunch. I typically stick to California rolls (I'm a newbie to sushi) but I ventured out and tried the Lisa Lisa roll and I'm so glad I did; my only complaint is I wish the sauces they put on the roll were served on the side for takeout because it soaked into the panko and made less crispy. But still delish! Will continue to come back for their bowls!

    Please, please, please go to Kawa Express! This is a quality establishment with excellent up front service! The apace is clean and fresh, very modern and comfortable. The selection of food is astounding; poke bowls (what a range!), sushi, k-dogs, fries, and more. Their sushi rolls, of which I got the Hot N Spicy Kawa and Pink Slip Roll, are maxed out in quality and quantity. You will get more than you think, which is so excellent for sushi. JUST. GO.

    Everything was amazing! Food was delicious. Quickly made and tasted great. The owner was very polite and considerate. I went when they first opened so it was still slow, he gave us some free samples and made good conversation while we waited for our order. Great customer service and care for his staff, also speaks Spanish (and probably Korean/Japanese). It's a small local restaurant that I would recommend! I got my food takeout for lunch.

    SO good! The owner was extremely friendly, went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. They have so many options and everything was really fresh. Very flavorful! We can't wait to come back and try some more items. Pictured is: create your own bowls, and loaded kimchi fries with bulgogi. Definitely recommend!

    OMG!!!!!!!!!

    Delicious Delicious Delicious! Everything about this restaurant is worthy of TEN STARS. I walked in 20 minutes before closing and received a warm welcome from the owner and the team. The restaurant is super clean and cute! He even gave me a drink while I waited for my food. It's refreshing to receive good service, but Most of all THE FOOD IS AMAZING!

    Build your own beef bulgogi bowl

    Generally places don't do a good job of cooking bulgogi beef to my liking or it's usually pretty fatty, but this place does an AMAZING job. We recently spent 2 weeks in Hawaii and had some of the best food of our lives and this is the first place since being back that has reminded us of Maui. The food was very fresh and flavorful. The gyozas are unlike and I've ever had. No stone bowls for the bibimbop but still delish. Not the biggest fan of the noodles that were an option for the byob but the rice was great. I do wish fried rice was an option- maybe someday. We got ours to go but the dining room was really cute also.

The sheer mix of flavors was nothing short of a wild disco on my taste buds.

The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a charming cat statue at the entrance, which instantly sets a fun and welcoming tone. We ordered the korean style Short Ribs and Pad Thai Noodles. Let me just say the short ribs were absolutely delicious. Perfectly tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Honestly, I kept repeating how good they were no notes, just a flawless, traditional short ribs experience. The Pad Thai was okay at first, with a smaller portion than expected. We asked for a remake, and the second portion was much better. It was still on the lighter side, but the flavors were spot on authentic and satisfying. A squeeze of lemon elevated the dish beautifully! The space was clean and nicely maintained. There were a few flies, but the staff explained it was due to a recent wedding event that had kept the doors open. And honestly, I could see why someone would choose this venue for an intimate wedding the surroundings are beautiful, with lovely outdoor seats that add to the experience. It's casual, but the atmosphere has something special while surrounded by nature. I'd say this place is perfect for a daytime visit, especially to enjoy the sunshine and soak in the peaceful ambiance of the Texas Corners area. The staff were excellent, going above and beyond to explain the menu and give us thoughtful recommendations. There's even a cute corner fridge where you can grab drinks, ice cream and desserts , a nod to the restaurant's origin as part of an Asian grocery store. Now, it's blossomed into its own standalone restaurant branch, and it really shows in the care they put into everything. I'll definitely be coming back. I loved the vibes, the natural light, and of course the amazing food. Next time, I'm definitely trying their bubble tea. It looked so good, and almost every table around us had one!

The owner or manager lady has a great sense of humor and is very happy to guide you in your selections. I tried soju for the first time. (Mostly neutral spirit that is often flavored) I ordered pineapple and it is served in 375 ml bottles! Fortunately they can tape the bottle up if you can't drink it all there so you can enjoy the rest at home. My husband got the mango sake colada and loved it. Main entrees were Thai basil stir fry with shrimp and chicken combo and the duck breast served over noodles (pho). Both dishes were very good. Basil stir fry was a bit salty. Duck was tender and broth was delicious! They had a lot of yummy desserts but we didn't have any room. I would not hesitate to return if I lived in the area.

Whenever I'm out of town, I ALWAYS look for a Korean restaurant, and as luck would have it, there are a few in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Yay!! Only thing wrong with my search, two of the three were closing in ten minutes and the third was advertised as Fried Chicken. I was 15 minutes away, so I gave in for the chicken, with fingers crossed that they'd have other popular dish options. Beautiful little restaurant when you arrive, very clean too. Immediately greeted and asked if to-go or dine-in, as they have a good counter for food delivery services. I of course opted to dine-in since I had about an hour til closing. Really nice looking menu, with plenty of selections beyond Fried Chicken. I didn't hesitate too long as to expedite my meal before closing. I ordered Pork Pot Stickers (Yakimandu), JapChae, and some Bulgogi. PanChan was extra, and the Kimchi along with Pickled Radish were my selection. The Yakimandu arrived first, nicely plated with half So Garlic Sauce and half Spicy Sauce. The mandi were delicious with these brushed sauces. That Spicy was no joke either, had a really good burning kick. The remainder of the meal was brought out together. The plates looked great and I couldn't wait to dig in, but if course pictures first. Both were super delicious and really hitting the spot after a long day. Very tasty meals. The staff brought me out a dessert after seeing me take all the photos, something I've never had, Deep Fried Cheesecake. Check out the photos. Definitely a different take on the dessert. Everything outside was crispy, of course, with the inside still the same. It was a texture experience. The staff were super friendly, very well knowledged on the menu items. Place was very clean, not just clean, but very clean! I think they said they've been there just over a year. I was served by Freda, and Caroline was there to assist when needed. The hostess was a real sweetheart, I'll call hers "Zaps" (because she had the TV remote at closing and I missed her real name). Young masked gentleman, again missed name, and one of the owners Kenny and his wife Lin. So good, I will be eating lunch and/or dinner there again tomorrow or Monday depending on time. I definitely want to try the Fried Chicken, probably not with the Spicy Sauce this time. LOL I do highly recommend you try this place if you haven't.
