    12. TONKATSU KIMBAP
    Kiley G.

    Phenomenal food. Could not express this more! My favorite things here: -(Spicy) Chicken Bulgogi -Tonskatsu Kimbap -Udon -Curry Chicken Katsu (the curry is CRAVE-ABLE) They also have the options of different spice levels. They make add ins SUPER easy. It was a littttle expensive, but the quality makes up for it. The young ladies working in the front are always so kind. Very knowledgeable about the food as well & helped us pick some greaaat options. Mukja is beautifully decorated & has a cute little bar area on the side.

    We always come here for the tteokbokki and tuna mayo kimbap. There is always a bit of a wait, but you can't really expect anything less for great food. The best kimbap we've found so far and we drive from Mooresville just to have it. Food is always on point here.

    I ordered the beef soft tofu from Mukja, and it was really good! I enjoyed the spice level, but next time, I'll definitely make it spicier. My order was to-go, and while the customer service felt a bit dry, the quality of the food made up for it. That's why I'm giving it a 4--great food, just wish the service had been more welcoming.

    Authentic Korean meal. The Alley 51 food hall is such an awesome setting to experience Mukja with their flavorful ramen and the drinks that make it a full experience. The staff was happy to help and the food came out quick!

    Guess I'll be first! I've tried them twice...and here's my take. First of all, the booth is quite cute and catchy. Even the name is fun. "Mukja" is a korean word that means "Let's Eat". Anyway, I love their menu...great variety of Korean foods, and some Asian fusion foods...with some tantalizing combinations! First time I was here, I tried their Kimbap, with this Korean drink (Apple flavored?). Sadly, I was disappointed. Guess I was expecting Bulgogi Kimbap...but I think it was just spam for meats? My bad for not reading the menu more closely. The drink wasn't a favorite either...a bit too tarty? Oh Well. Thought I'd try again...and this time I tried their Chicken Katsu with Curry. Well, it was a very generous portion of Chicken Katsu, and it tasted good enough. However, not good enough to merit this 19 buck pricing. For that, it should be restaurant-quality...and served on a nice plate (not paper plates and plastic utensils)! Unfortunately, I didn't think this was. While crispy enough, the Katsu was just very sloppily made and cut. Curry sauce was OK...I wished it was a tad richer in flavor, and spicier. Also, the cole slaw was a really bad, tasteless version...while I loved that they threw in some Japanese radish (Takuan), it was just the most minimal sliver of radish. Lastly, I hated the "To-Go" paper carton presentation. Why not at least a large, sturdy paper plate for those dining in? The last version of Chicken Katsu with Curry I had was in Duluth...the whole platter (including Udon Soup!) costed 15 bucks, yet several times better...in taste and presentation. Not even close in comparision! (see my review for "Kisoya" in Suwanee, GA). Never again will I pay 19 bucks for something from a food court. Still, I haven't yet given up on this vendor just yet...only because I'm itching to try their Tteokbokki? Guess I'm willing to try them at least 1 more time. As a Korean, I really WANTED to love this place. However, I only halfway liked it. Again, I thought the foods were good enough, but I just thought the pricing was a bit off. If priced more fairly, I might have liked the place much more?

    I can't say enough good things about our experience here! I was in town with two friends for the…read moreSouthern Christmas Show and was desperately craving Korean BBQ. Neither of my friends had ever had it, so I knew we needed an AYCE so they could try a little bit of everything. We found 704 on Yelp and headed there! It's in a big shopping center, towards the back, with tons of parking. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated. I told our waitress, Kim, that we had two newbies, and the rest of the meal, she was as excited as I was for them to try things! We ordered a huge variety of items, including the soups, the cheesy corn, bulgolgi, pork belly, chicken, squid... everything that looked interesting :) It was so very very tasty! Since my friends were newbies, I cooked all our meats which they loved watching happen. The team working that evening were so quick that they replaced our grill several times throughout the meal without any impact to our enjoyment. We had so much fun that my friends are super excited to come back the next time we're in town! Another super fun thing that I didn't notice until we were leaving- the walls are decorated with really interesting artwork made of crushed cans! The front walls behind the hostess stand are entirely made of crushed bottles, and we were told that the restaurant team made it all happen! It's really unique to see.

    We came to Bibim on a Saturday night and, even though it was busy, we were seated pretty quickly…read more It did take a bit of time to get our drinks and order in, but once that happened, everything came out fast. We started with the fried tteok fries, which were surprisingly light and delicious. I've only ever had tteok in stews before, so I was worried they might be hard or chewy, but they were the complete opposite--crispy, light, and really enjoyable. We also ordered the dolsot bibimbap with beef, the Japchea with beef , and a side of the daily soup, which was beef with radish. Everything was very savory without being heavy, and overall just really comforting food. On top of that, the servers were very kind and polite. We loved our experience and would definitely come back.

I called this restaurant to confirm they don't use fruit juice in their bulgogi marinade, as I'm allergic. They assured me twice that they don't. I placed a $40 order with doordash for two dishes (already ridiculous), and they called me back 10 minutes later saying they DO USE PEAR JUICE. I ask them if they use pear juice in their chicken or pork and they said yes. At no point do they offer me a refund despite it clearly being a massive shortcoming on their end, one that could've made me gravely ill. Instead I have to sub for tofu, resulting with me ending up with a $40 meal I would've never ordered in the first place! To replace the gimbap, they GRIPE ME ABOUT A $10 PRICE DIFFERENCE between the gimbap and the kimchi pancakes as if it's not their fault! If they are this flippant and careless with making people sick, I genuinely cannot imagine how they run the rest of their restaurant. I cannot advise people to stay away from here enough. This interaction went beyond breaching normal restaurant hospitality and veered into lacking human decency territory. I can't imagine lying to someone about food allergies and not immediately offering a refund. Absolutely obscene. Could've gotten gravely ill and instead of saying sorry the lady on the phone is griping me about a $10 difference as if kimchi pancakes even costs $6 to make in the first place.

It was clean and there was plenty of room for families. There were about a dozen food stalls here with food choices thatbspan the Asian world. You want Lao food? You got it! Filipino food? Of course! Sushi? Chinese noodles? Chinese BBQ? KOREAN? Yup you can have it all! My wife and I tried food from three stalls and I'm not going to lie, there was not one disappointing bite. A lot of thr stalls have self-service kiosks too, so ordering is easy if you need pictures. The only small gripe is that everything is a tad on the expensive side for asian food. Is it worth it? For the selection and convenience... yes, totally.

The service is always quick and all operate similarly with giving you a device that will ring and vibrate when your food is ready for pick up- rather that is to go or to eat in. The ambience is very cool surrounded by art in the walls and decor that feels like you are outside in a food fair. My daughter and I live coming here ordering 3 different things and having that be our weekend meals. Also it's great that is adjacent to an international supermarket that you can do some shopping.

This experience completely changed my perception of Itaewon Bar & Food. After eating 5-6 popcorn chickens, I felt like this was really chewy! I didn't want to look down but I had to. I wondered "did they really serve raw chicken... No way!" Guess what? They did! They served me raw chicken for my order: honey garlic K-popcorn chicken. They gave me a refund but the damage was already done. I'll never eat here again and I won't be afraid to tell a friend to tell a friend.

    I finally found a food vendor at Alley 51 that truly deserves 5 stars…read more.. I've tried several vendors by now, and so far, they've been more or less disappointing in taste, presentation and pricing (way overpriced). This place, however, hit all the right spots. We ordered the OG Smash Burger with Fries, and K-Street Egg Toast (w/ Ham), and Ginger Ale. Well, first of all, the pricing seemed fair ( food-court appropriate!)...something I can't say for some of the vendors I've tried so far. The burgers were more expensive than McDonalds, but less than that of a restaurant (as it should be!). Then their K-Street Toast was a STEAL. I say that because their Egg Toast was less than 7 bucks, yet Huge...so buttery, soft and fluffy too! Most importantly, these quality-packed burgers, egg toast AND fries were all absolutely delicious! Surprising...because you don't think Korean when you think of good burgers...but these burgers (and the fries!) were rich, savory and juicy...SO good! In fact, I'd put it right up there with Bang Bang Burgers and Ace #3 (my fave burger joints in town). Again, their K-Street Toast was quite the treat...it was luscious!! I'm already thinking about running back to try more items on their menu...like their Korean Chicken Sandwich and Bulgogi Cheese Fries. I'm not even a big fan of hand-helds, but this was the best meal I've had at this food court...and I didn't feel ripped off at the end of it!

I ordered the sesame chicken dinner, wonton soup and an egg roll. The egg roll was soooooo small...super lint and little. I co my s from a place where one egg roll can be shared by two people. Thick and super stuffed. Forget that. It doesn't exist here. The mini egg roll was dry and you couldn't even tell what was in it. The wonton soup broth had a great flavor but the wontons were not fresh. They were gummy in a creepy kinda way. Frozen with freezer burn was my best guess. The sesame chicken was super super super OVERFRIED. Dry as a bone inside. This had clearly been pre fried and then fried again and dipped in a sticky sauce with weird texture. Kind of tasted like sesame chicken but the texture of the sauce and the dry chicken were disgusting. I spit it out. This place is a nicer version of Panda Express. If you like Panda Express .....bless your hearts than you might love this place. Those of us who have been exposed to amazing Chinese food at super cheap prices are not loving the Chinese food offerrings here in the Carolina's. Yuck

We got there early and the place was already packed with folks ordering take out, as well as starting to sit for dinner. The service was not impacted whatsoever. We ordered appetizers of edamame, miso soup, and crab Rangoon which all came out quickly and was delicious. The kids easily split the sweet and sour chicken and chicken lo mein which is their absolute favorite. My husband ordered the super boost roll and said it was incredible. I ordered the rainbow roll and it was also perfectly done. We were all stuffed, and my kids are already begging us to come back again soon. We will certainly be back again soon to try something else since the menu has so many options.
