    CASH only. Make sure to grab some cash before you go, or you can use the ATM inside the restaurant or one in the parking lot. I walked in, said party of 1, was pointed to the corner table (behind the ATM). I got the menu and ordered my drinks. I only came here to try their Rotisserie Chicken, as it was only available during dinner time. I tried to order, waitress had to go and ask, came back and was told they are not doing that item. Not sure if it wasn't available on this day or if it's not offered. Sadden, looked at the menu again and went with - Kalbi Tang (Short rib soup) - Kangpunngi (sweet and tangy fried chicken) (note, you need to order by the item numbers and not by the name of the dish) Got my drinks, then the banchans (side items) came out. You get 2 pieces of potatoes that were cooked in soy sauce, small amount of chopped up napa kimchi, small amount of shredded radish kimchi and three slices of cucumber kimchi. I would have done BBQ, but was told it wasn't good by my nephew, thus opted to order the regular dinner menu items. The Kangpunngi came out first, it was actually good - 4/5 stars. However, it wasn't tangy, but on the sweet side. This dish really reminded me of Orange Chicken from Panda Express. I would recommend it, it's not spicy at all. Kalbi Tang - LA Kalbi (thin sliced short ribs), topped with glass noodles and some sliced green onions. Typically kalbi tang broth is clear, but their version was on the darker side. The taste was bit bland for me, but they have salt on the table for that :) I gave two stars because of 1) no ability to pay with credit or debit card. I hope this is temporary thing, however they should consider getting square or something so they can take credit cards. Second reason for two stars - their service. The only time I saw my waitress was when I got the food and 5 minutes before I was done, that's when the waitress came by to ask if I needed anything. The cup was full of ice and the side items were all empty - a sign that those needed to be refilled. I also noticed this at other tables as well; there were three waitresses working, but they were all huddled around the fountain drink machine busy chatting. Overall, what I had was decent. The service could improve and the side items could improve as well.

    Yet again. First time in Missouri and afraid I wouldn't find the usual food spots that I have back in vegas. Fortunately, there was a Korean spot right by the military base. The inside of the restaurant was vibrant and decent looking. The hostess? Or maybe owner of the restaurant was kind and greeted my friend with kindness. He talked to us about my friends career (diver) and basically told us we should be proud. He then proceeded to show us kindness when we left. The food was good and enjoyable.

    The food was great service was awesome and they were quick.   Try thr Bulgogi, Yakimando  and Kim Bap

    Decent sized parking lot for the establishments. Not your typical Korean BBQ place as it did not have the hot plate grill in the middle but the food was still pretty good. I ordered the combination Koba Dinner Stone BBQ Plate and my boyfriend ordered the Beef Shot Stone Rib. Both were very well marinated and really good. Great portion sizes as well. We also ordered the Korean pancake to start and a some Kimchi soup. The kimchi soup was delicious. The Korean pancake wasn't as crispy as I'd like it and lacked some flavor. Otherwise good food and friendly staff. It was cash only when we went.

    I don't even know where to begin. Since the name of the restaurant includes Korean BBQ- I was expecting to be able to cook my own meat at the table but that's not the case at all. I had lunch with my friends and decided to try this place out for the first time. We had a new server (and I totally understand being new). But she got to-go orders ALL mixed up and only I had a to-go order. I told her what I wanted to order and she asked me which one that was on the menu when she's the one that works there (and I wouldn't mind looking for the item on the menu if I wasn't busy holding my baby trying to settle her down). Prior to actually ordering, I was waiting for my husband's text on what he wanted me to order to go for him and let the server know that I'll let her know when he texted me back. However, she continued to come to the table every 5 minutes asking if he texted me back. She continued to do this for about 8 more times after I had already let her know that I'd let her know. It took forever to get our yaki mandu which wasn't even yaki mandu. They were basically frozen dumplings you can get at the store. The side dishes were in very small portions. The soup I ordered was nothing more than mediocre. And it didn't help that we were the second group to come in for lunch and was one of the last to get our food. There were about 6 other groups that got sat, ate, and left before we even got our soup orders. The whole experience was not a good one. And I was really looking forward to this new restaurant. Lastly- They only take cash. ATM is inside. $2 fee. They have alcohol on their menu but are not serving alcohol currently.

    Sriracha???

    We came this restaurant 3 days after grand opening, a little after 5:00 pm. We waited about 15 minutes for somebody to assist us. When they got to us we were told that they are not getting any more customers. 1 weeks later we came back because we still wanted to try it out. We still waited about 15 minutes for somebody to help us. They look very busy because there's only 2 servers working and those 2 servers are also the cashiers. They are only accepting cash, the servers/cashiers didn't wash their hands going back and forth. The food was ok, nothing too special. We asked for sriracha sauce but we don't think it was the real sauce, it tasted like ketchup.

    Yuk-Gae Jang. Owner also provided authentic kimchi which was wonderful. Thank you for the wonderful food and service.

    If you're anything like me, you research the restaurants at your travel destination before much…read moreelse. This place came so highly recommended, I had no choice but to pay them a visit. Pro tip: please check their facebook page for updated hours, contact information, and menu of the day. I stopped by to place a carry out order. The team was so welcoming and friendly. That perfect sincere hospitality you don't see too much anymore. The space is absolutely adorable and comfortable. When my order was ready, I was handed a bag that easily weighed five pounds! I went with the blackberry fried chicken. This is like nothing I've ever had. The chicken was super crispy like Korean fried chicken and just covered in a sweet sticky blackberry sauce. The chicken was well seasoned and juicy. Every single bite was perfect. I went with the macaroni and cheese and greens for my sides. Both came served in generous portions of deliciousness. The greens might be a little spicy if you don't like heat. My order came with two cornbread muffins. The meal was a very generous and a filling one. I also picked a slice of peach cobbler cheesecake from the dessert case. While tasty, I would have preferred one or the other. Both cheesecake and cobbler in one dessert was just a little too much for me. But delicious nonetheless. I can see why this spot comes with such great accolades for food service and hospitality.

    This truly is a hidden gem in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri!! We went to visit my daughter for family…read moreday and graduation from basic training and all of the drill sergeants raved about how this was the best soul food restaurant in town. They didn't lie. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was also impeccable. The waitress was so nice, and she gave us history on the restaurant and her family. There were pictures of her family on the walls, and they even had a tree branch with wooden portraits of family members (family tree). It was so cool!! The food was so good!! We had the chicken wings, greens, mac and cheese, yams, and catfish. The portion sizes were huge, so we had food to go. A person in our party had the red beans and rice and fried corn and she said the red beans and rice was some of the best she has ever had, and the sauce on the fried corn was good. The cook's husband came out and talked to us at the end of our meal and gave us some background on how he was also in the military, retired and is now working at the restaurant with his wife along with his government job. Everybody was just so nice and welcoming, and it definitely was a great experience. The prices for the food was very affordable considering the portion sizes. We have to go back in January for her next graduation. We will definitely be going back to eat there. I can taste it already!!
