    This shows when I placed my order. I got my food at 1:25.

    On a whim, I thought I'd check this place out since it was close by my work. I believe they occupy the same building as Dept of Developmental Services. The restaurant area is huggeeeee, and I believe, for now, they are the only restaurant in the food commons area. Since it was my first time there, I asked questions on what was good. They had vegetarian options and the food is made to order. Thinking I beat the lunch crowd, I thought it'd be quick. There was a line of people to order, as well as a line of ppl waiting for their food. I ordered the Veggie Bop, with the tofu crispy. My order was taken at 12:55 PM. I waited. I looked around me and a number of people were looking at their phone and their watches, which told me they were in the same boat - on lunchtime, on a timeframe to return to work. I continued to wait. And wait. And wait. I didn't get my food until 30 minutes after I placed my order. I was told "thank you for being patient" when picking up my order, so at least they acknowledged it. When I got back to the office, I have to say it was good! The tofu was fried with rice paper (although I would've preferred it fried even longer). The bowl also had rice, slaw, Jap Chae & mayo sauce. I scarfed that down so fast. I'll be back.

    Fries, Soy Garlic Chicken

    We stopped by this cafeteria because the cafe inside the capitol was busy. It was a simple cafeteria food and was really good and tasty! I got the french fries and the chicken bowl. We went at like 2-3 and got the food from there. It came out quickly and there was a little late because we went at kinda of an obscure time. The service was really fast and really efficient. The food came out piping hot and we were in a bit of a rush so it made it a bit difficult to eat quickly. The ambiance is really clean and everything is really nice! Overall, I recommend it and would go back again if I was doing work near the capitol building!

    K-Burrito
    Ss S.

    The K-Burrito was so filling. Had rice, kimchi, sour cream, American cheese, beef and a sauce that was mildly spicy. The orange sauce it came with was mild and a tasty. The service was quick. Staff was friendly. The only issue was the meat is more sweet than what I prefer, which makes sense bc it is. Korean spot. It was good but I don't prefer sweet meals.

    Lunch k burrito with bulgogi beef so good and reasonable for 12 bucks get the salsa too
    Alex T.

    It's one of my new favorite spots here. My work bff told me they have korean food. I'm like where? Saw the menu and was like ok they have salads , bowls, tacos, and burrito but korean inspired. Say no less. . Lunch time walked over to try it. I got the bulgogi burrito. I told them to cut in half for me. I enjoyed half while walking back to office. And the other half for later at My desk. I'm so glad I did that because it was hefty good size and put me in a food coma. Lol in a good way. The bulgogi burrito was so juicy and flavorful. It was simple and hits the spot. The price was affordable too like 12 bucks or so. . So it's located inside a cafeteria vendor style in the state building. I really love a close by good affordable and quick pick up lunch when I'm on a time crunch lunch break. . Overall can't wait to come back and try other items. My work bff says her tacos was amazing too. Hope this review helps you decide. Thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day.

    This is such a cute little spot! Definitely a great spot for a quick lunch. I would say a little on the pricy side for what you get but it definitely hit the spot. I got the Bulgogi Bowl thing and it was yummy! Drinks here are average just your normal coke, sprite etc. but definitely stop in (:

    One of those places you would love to frequent but must be patient! And that's no understatement. Even my wife loved their Korean beef taco. They gave us sauces which one of them were spicy HOT! Be careful! Need ice water nearby or ice cream! Lol My wife enjoyed her soy garlic chicken cupbop & was sad when it was totally gone. Like bummer...I totally enjoyed my burrito packed full & my bulgogi beef cupbop. Yes my wife was tempted to want to dig into my order!!! She backed off though which was a first! LOL Yes the M-F 1030-3 hours definitely are catered for the state workers all around. Right? The vibe here was also fresh, clean & contemporary. Even though we had to wait 30 minutes for our full order just bc the gal forgot to place our order in originally it was however worth our wait! Plus the employee did apologize for the long wait. Would we return? If we find street parking nearby sure! On our first try we were very fortunate.

    Fully loaded fries (bulgogi beef)
    Felicia P.

    Happy to see this business thriving...I have been trying a variety of things that they offer. So far the standouts are the breakfast burrito and their bbq beef cupbop. Their service is always outstanding. Compliments to the chef and the whole crew!

    Bulgogi beef bowl with japche, corn, kimchi, rice, and sauce.
    Steph T.

    Ordered the bulgogi beef bowl and the bowls are filled to the top and not with rice either, they give lots of meat, japchae, kimchi, and corn. The flavors are on point and is really good. The kimchi has good spice to it and the japche is not mushy. Will def come back again. My only complaint is parking was a bit of a hassle. The service was prompt. They are located inside a huge state building which does have a lot of seating for lunch but it's not a place for dinner or parties as they only open from 10am to 3pm. Parking is a bit of a hassle because you'd have to find street parking, the parking in front of the entrance are for state workers only. Despite that, I'd still come back to try other foods.

    Loaded Fries
    Allen C.

    I noticed this Korean fusion bistro was a 5 minute walking distance from the state capitol in downtown and so I decided to give this place a shot. Walking in, it had a cafeteria vibe being the only restaurant there. Plenty of seats with the opportunity to dine by yourself or with some friends. Water station to the right. The staff were very friendly and had a warm smile greeting the customers. I decided to order the K-Lunch burrito which consisted of beef bulgolgi, seasoned rice, melted cheese, kimchi slaw, grilled onions, cilantro, sour cream, house gochujang (red pepper paste) sauce, house chili Mayo sauce on flour tortilla. For $12, it's a fairly decent size. It was jam packed with lots of bulgogi that was bursting with flavors. The kimchi slaw wasn't super fermented (sour tasting) and was just right. The house chili mayo combined with the gochujang sauce gave the burrito a little mild kick to it. The tortilla was slightly crispy for a bit of crunch factor. Overall, it was pretty satisfying. The loaded fries consisted of fries, lots of melted cheese, bacon, grilled onion, and house chili mayo sauce. The official website says it's shoestring fries but it's not so take that in mind. The fries weren't crispy at all so I'd definitely recommend to ask for the melted cheese to be on the side for you to drizzle. I'd also ask to go light on the cheese since it's a puddle of it underneath. Besides that, they were pretty good! For $7, it's a bit lacking in the quantity aspect but the quality of the loaded fries makes up for it. The bacon combined with the house sauce made it delicious. Overall, I enjoyed my time here with the great food. I'd come back here again to try out other items.

    BBQ Beef CupBop
    Saran W.

    Kindred Seoul is a welcome addition to the downtown food scene. Through the modern glass doors of Allenby building (housing different State departments) is Kindred Seoul. It is conveniently located within walking distance from my workplace, and I always look forward to grabbing a bite here when I go into the office. The service here is fantastic. While a small operation, their food packs a punch in flavor. The interior of the building offers plenty of open seating if you want to enjoy your meal there, but I am also always offered a bag and utensils to go if I need them. I'd recommend checking Korean Seoul out if you want to change up your lunch options! The hours mostly cater to the State employee crowd, so be mindful of that when planning your visit. Arriving around 11:30am before the lunch rush seems to be the sweet spot for me.

    KBurrito
    Jacky P.

    I first went for the first time last year and can I just say that this is still one of my favorite lunch spots. It is a little hard to find since it is inside of a business building but once inside, it is so clean and spacious. One of the workers (or could be owner) gave us some popular recommendations and I was able to try both the k-burrito and bbq beef cup and both are SOOO GOOD. If you prefer noodles definitely get the bbq beef cup but if you're more of a sauce type of person, the k-burrito is bursting with flavor. If you want a spicy kick to it, ask for their spicy house sauce.. DELICIOUS! The service here is always so great, they are usually low staffed but they always have the food coming at a reasonably fast pace and everyone working is so nice and friendly. I can't wait to see how the business grows!

    Spicy Garlic Fried Chicken, add-on Gochujang Sauce
    Patricia C.

    Good spot for lunch while in the area. This place is located in a State Building. The dining space is pretty open. Lots of options to sit, whether you want to sit by the window and people watch, bring a group for a lunch outing--or simply sit down for a 1:1 lunch. We love the Cup Bops here. You can't go wrong with the Chicken/Beef. --I like to add the fried egg and gochujng to the Garlic Chicken Cup Bop. I'd give a 4 star since the menu is a bit off, the add-ons are a bit pricey; for example the Cupbop, you'd have to add on the fried egg and gochujang sauce... why not just make that standard? It's so much yummier that way!! ;) Regardless this spot is great k-food fix during the work day. Thankfully I hve to walk a few blocks to it, so I have no regrets indulging in the menu items. Lol.
