We ordered take out after our evening hike and it was ready when we got there. A cozy little restaurant with a bunch of patrons. The food smelled so good in the car. Everyone enjoyed all the dishes. Mom thought it was the best meat Jun she has ever had on the island. We will be back for more.
Great hole in the wall mom and pop shop. My family was kraving traditional korean food and not the usual hawaiian plates and this place served it up properly. The bonchon was kimchi, bean sprouts, radish, and krab salad and was very good. We ordered several dishes all which hit the spot. Fish jeon: marinated fish and dipped in egg before being fried. Soft and slight crunchy edges served with a dipping sauce. First time having this and was not disappointed. 10/10 Kalbi: traditional marinated beef short ribs served over onions. Tender and tasty 10/10 Hot stone bibimbap: beef, veggies and rice served in a hot stone with gochujang sauce and the rice gets crispy. Very delicious 10/10. Seafood tofu soup. Full of shrimp and octopus and a egg dropped in the middle while still boiling, quite flavorful. 10/10 Being a Korean from Los Angeles this place held its own and I will 100% be back next time I am in oahu. As long as you are ok with a no frills super casual restaurant this place will hit.
Spoon is one of those shops where you bring Korean people and they actually approve of the Korean food options. It's yummy, it's authentic, sure there are others that give you more or is cheaper, but this food is true to its origin, and tasty. K pop blasting, tons of noodles and deep fried options, all done tastefully well and not overly salty or oily. Deep fried cheese balls were amazing. Cold noodles were devoured, bibimbap was great, ban chan were yummy and the couple sitting next to us having a bingsu looked like they approve. All one sized meals, fresh lemony water for patrons, I will visit again and try something new. Younger staff members were kind and informative about the food options.
My husband and I were out in Ewa Beach area and decided to try something new, and we were so happy we did! This restaurant is small and tucked in a little shopping center with other well-known restaurants around, but I promise you, you have to give this place a try! Upon walking in, the menu is on the wall. After you order, you can get a cup of water and find a seat (seating is very limited, with only a few tables). The girl who took our order was so sweet and explained that it might be about a 10-minute wait because the food is made to order. My husband and I ordered the mandu ramyun, the mixed cold noodles, the pork kimbap, and the mango bingsu, and everything was AMAZING! I've had a lot of Korean food growing up with many Korean friends, and my husband has been to Korea many times, so we've had our fair share. The minute my husband took a bite of his mixed cold noodles, his words were, " Oh fuck, that is so good. OMG." As we kept eating, the kimbap came out, and we took a bite, and our eyes grew so big because we knew it was freshly made, super fresh, and so crisp and delicious! Our order of favorites is the mixed noodles, the kimbap and the mandu ramyun. Our mango bingsu was made when we told them we were about finished with our meal. They brought it out, and it was a mountain of the lightest, creamiest shaved ice, piled with juicy mango. It was so good, and so refreshing after our meal. When you're done eating, there's a place to place your dirty dishes as well, and they come and wipe down the tables after. All in all, we are definitely coming back again, even if it's all the way in Ewa Beach! Before we left, my husband told me, "damn, that was so good, we need to bring people here when they visit us." LOL I've never heard him rave about a place as much as he did about this one, so I know it's a place we will revisit!
I don't frequent the Ewa beach area much but I happened to be stationed out there for the day. I was craving some Korean food and hopped onto yelp to find someplace. I came across this restaurant and I'm so glad I did! The food was fantastic. My partner ordered the kimchi fried rice and I had the meat jun plate. The fried rice had the perfect balance of savory and spicy. The meat jun was thick and had great flavor. So many places serve paper thin meat jun and it was so nice to have meat jun with some substance. The food took a little bit but it's totally worth the wait. The staff is very friendly and parking is plentiful. I highly recommend this spot. Aloha!
This restaurant is counter order and seat yourself style. A nice sized restaurant with tables spread out so it's not so much of a cluster. The cashier was super friendly and the food was great. Some of the things that we wanted to try wasn't available at the time so that was a bummer. But the food that we did get was great. I really like the kimchee soup. Tons of flavor. Meat jun was great too. You didn't even need the sauce. Can't wait to go back!
We didn't have a server, it's an order and seat yourself spot but our cashier was nice. Food was good, it was all of our first time there and we were all satisfied with the food we ordered. The meat jeon didn't need a sauce. They have a nice big table we sat at and they let us finish up some work there. We were a little sad the bingsu machine wasn't operating at the time we were there. I was excited to try. Overall it was a good experience and we would go there again!
Other than the slightly rude cashier/order taker, this was a pleasant experience. The food was great. The seating is only 6 tables but seems bigger. I would recommend the Spicy pork plate and the Tteokbokki with ramyeon.
I went to the original Spoon - maybe two years ago. Now, they're Spoon Bunsik with a new menu. I don't even recall what I had. I walked in just as they opened, at 1100a, and ordered Bi Bim Bap for takeaway. I was given a wait time of 10 minutes. Well, they received a few phone orders subsequently...so I was lucky...but it took almost twenty minutes to get my meal. Bi Bim Bap is a bellwether menu item for any Korean restaurant and it mostly delivered. The taste was fine , though more sesame oil would have made it even better, but the beef portion was small. Gochujang sauce was okay. Open from 11a till 8p Monday thru Saturday. A few storefront stalls for parking - but there is the adjacent strip mall and the Ewa Beach Shopping Cemter across the street.
Decided to try Spoon Bunsik, a Korean restaurant in Ewa Beach, recommended by friends. The restaurant is small and clean. Walk up to order and pay from the menu on the wall. There are also samples of small bites in the covered glass case by the cash register. I started with the stone pot rice/bulgogi vegetable entree. It comes with 3 sides of spicy takuan, Kim chee, and chop chae. We also tried the cheesy tteobokki (spelling?), which was delicious! We also tried the spicy Kim chee deep fried musubi. Ono! The dessert was bingsu, which is a variation of shaved ice, but finer, lighter, and not overly sweet. We tried strawberry and oreo cookie. The strawberry was more on the tart side, while the oreo cookie was a little sweeter. If you want a sweeter bingsu, you can request condensed milk to add to your dessert... Overall, a great dining experience, friendly and quick service, and delicious food! Try it!
The food here is soooo good! It is neatly packed and appealing to the eyes as well. One of the best meat juns I have ever had on island. The staff is friendly and the store is very clean.
Had a craving for some Korean food and decided to finally go to Spoon Bunsik after having only gotten takeout from them in the past. Came on a Saturday and it seemed to be a sleepy day after July 4th as the restaurant was empty. Our win! They are on a limited menu for some reason so that was a bummer. I really wanted to try their black bean noodles on site. With that said, we didn't go away unhappy. After getting the banchan and some fried goodies as appetizers our two mains came out. We got the Tteokbokki with Udon and Bulgogi plate which came with some Ono Japchae. We were not disappointed. This may be my new favorite bulgogi place and my wife loved her spicy rice cake and udon. Ono! We're going to be back and hopefully will get my black bean fix. Love this place!!
I was happy to find out that Spoon re-opened and reinvented their menu. Parking is limited in front of the store front, but I came for dinner twice and had no issues parking. There was no line for the two occasions I visited. The restaurant only has a few tables so it can get busy, but thankfully I never had any issues. You order at the counter and they let you pick where you want to sit. The service was fast and easy. The food was delicious and I think for the amount the prices are fair. I'd definitely go back again. Especially because its hard to find authentic Korean food like this on the west side.

Discovered this place while trying to find a new place to eat in between errands and omg..... I'm so happy we found Spoon. I got the meat jun and my husband wanted the spicy pork, combo. On the menu it doesn't say what the combo comes with but i will posted pictures of the sides that usually come with the combo. I got my son the Vons chicken original plain friend chicken plate, it only comes with 4 pieces of chicken and a side of chips, which is weird to have as a side but ok, lol. I had a bite of my son's chicken and it was so crispy and tasty, i'd def want to try their other flavor of chicken the next time i come here. My husband also got a kimchee fried rice, it was good if you like that strong kimchee taste. Our meatjun and spicy pork was so flavorful and delicious! The sides were PERFECTION, OMG. I especially love their kimchee side, cold noodles, crab salad and fish cake. sooooo yummy!!!! Everything was so good, we want to come back again. We came in when they were about to close in an hour, maybe that's why the girl who took our order wasn't all that welcoming and she assumed we knew the standard sides that come with the combos when it was actually our first time here. I asked what does the combo come with and she just said "the standard sides it come with!" sis.... lol. anyway, the food was delicious. if you haven't tried this place yet, check this place out. it's a must!!! we will be back! read more

Started craving some Tteokbokki and I heard from a friend that "Spoons" has some great tasting Tteokbokki it didn't disappoint, I suggest getting the Tteokbokki with Cheese it's very Ono! Cashier said it would be 20 minutes for our food and we waited in the car for our order, we didn't want to wait and crowd in the restaurant due to Covid so as we were waiting in our car, didn't expect for the girl to bring us the food I felt bad because she didn't have to do that. Service was awesome and food was delicious! We'll be back again for sure! read more

Today was my 2nd time here and decided to do yakiniku. My mom and I ordered the combo #2 which included brisket, pork belly, and 1 piece of big bone kalbi. Like any other Korean restaurant, they give banchan; Kim chee, Kim chee cucumbers, potato, fish cake, broccoli with 1000 island dressing, to name a few. The Kim chee has just enough hotness to it and was good. My favorite was the fish cake; they mixed jalepeno's in it which made it fast even better! I thought it was a different touch having 1000 island dressing on the broccoli. The broccoli was not over cooked neither. For $50, the amount of food that we got was worth it. It was actually a little too much for my mom and I. It also comes with lettuce and the guy will ask if you want seasoned or not. We went with seasoned and it came out with dressing! Which was good too because there was just enough dressing to mix with the greens because some restaurants they either don't have enough dressing or too much dressing. As for the meats, it was fresh. After we cooked the meats, we had 2 sauces to dip it in, somekind of ponzu and salt,oil, and pepper mixed together, although the Kalbi didn't need to be dipped in the sauces. Their grill is not infrared but very similar. The owner allows you to control the heat on your own! I will definitely be back because I haven't tried alot of stuff yet. read more

Spoon Korean Kitchen [SKK]. (3.5 stars). "At first, taste soup or kimchi juice, and then try rice or other dishes. Use spoon for rice and liquid foods, such as stews or soups; use chopsticks for other foods." - http://www.lifeinkorea.com/Food/f-manners.cfm Growing up with a Korean mother was entertaining at times. My mother was an awesome cook who would throw anything into a bowl and it would taste amazing!! Unfortunately, I was too dumb to appreciate my mother's cooking until I was in college!! The one thing my mother did teach me as a kid was that Koreans use spoons FOR EVERY MEAL!! As I traveled and ate my way through South Korea a decade ago, I started to understand what my mother was saying!! Rice is eaten with a spoon not chopsticks!! What a concept. Fast forward to 2017... I saw my friend check-in to Spoon on a few occasions so being the good stalker that I am I had to ask him for his opinion!! He highly recommended Spoon and that was all I needed to hear. As the BF and I reached Spoon and parked in the lot which is shared by a church and Spoon, we noticed a sign that said Yakiniku available at Spoon!! The BF has grown to love Korean food especially Yakiniku and Kimchee Jjigae. So we knew before we even walked in the door what we were going to order. As we walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by the artsy chalkboard menu which had both English and Korean which made it nice for me since I know more "names" in Korean than English. LOL. We were seated at one of the tables near the kitchen and decided to order the following: -Combo A -Kimchee Jjigae Combo A - $59.95. (3.5 stars). This combo comes with a healthy portion of meat!! Sliced Pork Belly, Boneless Short Ribs, Marinated Short Ribs, & Brisket. Banchan (side dishes) comes complimentary with the meal which was to be expected. The BF devoured most of the banchan and he seemed to like the mini seafood pancakes the best. I thought the only thing that was tasty was the cucumber kimchee but the rest of the banchan was OK. Spoon offers unlimited banchan refills with our combo meal order which was nice. The pork belly was tasty and the flat grill with grates to expose some of the flames gave a nice crispy texture which we both enjoyed. The boneless short rib was a nice marbled cut of meat. However it cooks fast and there is no seasoning whatsoever. I was OK with that but the BF needed to use his oil and salt sauce to dip it in. I wish Spoon would use sesame oil and salt vice the canola oil and salt mixture but I know quality sesame oil is wicked expensive but I can dream can't I!!?? Marinated short ribs were my favorite! The meat was tender and the marinade was delicious! A hint of sweetness from the sugars which were more pronounced after grilling but nonetheless a great dish!! Spoon uses "Wang Kalbi" or King's cut (named "King" to imply the best cut of meat)!! I will definitely come back for this dish!! Sadly, this brisket was the biggest disappointment of our meal. For those who are familiar with KBBQ, the brisket or "Chadolbaegi" is the quintessential meat to judge a Yakiniku restaurant by. The amount of brisket that was given to us was obscene!! I have never seen that much brisket ever!!?? But because it was at room temperature it was virtually impossible to grill. It reminded me of a limp beef blanket... Sadness. Sangchu (lettuce wraps) are included with any combo meal and you have a choice of "raw" which is served whole leaf or "seasoned" which is served as a salad with a Korean inspired dressing. Garlic (for grilling) is offered with any combo meal. Note #1: Our server started off cooking for us but because she was the only working in the front, she wasn't able to cook for us very long. I don't think they normally grill the meats for customers like Sura does. Tip #1: I am happy to report Spoon does give customers scissors to cut the meats after grilling!! Note #2: Be prepared to smell like KBBQ as there isn't much of a ventilation system. Kimchee Jjigae - $12.95. (3.5 stars). The BF loves this dish. Everywhere we go he has to order it. He seems to love the more traditional Jjigae which uses sour kimchee. Spoon's version verged on that sour edge. I liked the soup but the BF loved it. The pork to kimchee ratio was on point and I was happy to see only scallions were used vice white or yellow onions. Spoon's Jjigae is delivered in the famous stone pot while it's boiling hot!! We would order this again. --- All in all, we both enjoyed our meal at Spoon. The cashier/server was friendly enough and she was able to get me some fresh sliced jalapeños for our lettuce wraps!! Jalapeños are not included in the combo meal. We will definitely be back and I have to thank my friend for his recommendation. Spoon it up!! read more
Wow!! I would go here quite often if I still lived in Ewa Beach! Had the soondubu for lunch and it was yummy. So was the banchan and free refills of the banchan! Great portion size and the prices were reasonable. There weren't that many tables so I bet this place can get very busy at dinner. I already want to go back and try more dishes! read more
This place is a great place for some good Korea food! I live on the west side and I gotta say that I'll come back for sure. We tried their beef tongue and pork belly for yakiniku and their cuts were good. The meat were a good portion for what you get. Might be on the pricier side for $22-$26 a choice but worth it. Also got their tteokbokki! I gotta say that this might be my favorite place to get it. It's not too spicy and it has a lot of flavor. Their bonchan was tasty as well! I'd come back. Again and again. read more

A hidden jewel for Ewa. Well I have seen this place every time I've gone to the Ewa Beach Pizza Hut (read that review right?) They're not in a great location since it's slightly off the main road and not flush with the sidewalk so you can easily miss it. I wasn't impressed with the outside but once inside I was IMPRESSED. Seating is limited to about 10 tables but like Zippy's you can remove some separator boards to seat a large party together. Large meaning a company of 8 people. It's very very clean and the ventilation is excellent. You can't see the smoke when cooking and you won't leave the place smelling like food. Who would want to smell like kalbi? Well maybe your dog when you get home. Anyway the staff is waaaaay too friendly. Making sure you have everything you need and paying attention to your drinks getting too low or if you want more sides. The staff, I can't say enough about how pleasant they are. Really the food can be terrible but I wouldn't mind because the servers rock. Of course, you have an electric grill at the center of your table. This is a non stick gill so the meat blacken the rack and therefore doesn't have to get changed out as often. Gen Korea BBQ House comes to mind. I know you read that fantastic review. I do say so myself. Self that was a great review. Moving on. Great thing is if you're lazy to cook they'll do it for you if they're not busy. This gives you time to enjoy a conversation with your company and also the server. Also the kitchen has the classic Korean staples like seafood pancake (fantastic) and kimchi fried rich (little mushy) but good. Overall four stars. Small parking lot and location a slight downgrade. And the dessert is non existent. Of course, with the grill taking up a majority of the table, you'll have to hold your plate the whole time. Or be creative with where you place your drinks if you order from the kitchen along with the food you're cooking. Space will be limited. It would be great if they got some folding tables where they can place the side dishes (hint hint management). The food and service great. Like Tony the Tiger GREEAATT. You won't leave satisfied, you'll leave fully satisfied. Now excuse me, it's time for some green tea. Ice cream of course. M read more

Tried Spoons for the first time. Saw the rave reviews so decided to order a bunch a stuff. Spent about $100 and got the Meat Jun, Spicy Rice Cake with Ramen and cheese, Kalbi/ Chicken combo, and the Seafood stew. I was so excited but ended up a little disappointed. The taste of the food was just "alright". Nothing exciting, nothing really great. The sides were "ok" as well, even tho they give you a nice variety. It just didn't taste "korean". I'm korean, btw. Very vinegary and watery. The amount of food for the price wasn't nice, either. The combo was $27 and the meat jun was, I think was $18? The stew had lots of seafood but very watery soup base. My takeout took an hour and a half. Service was nice. Probably won't be back, unfortunately. read more

I really enjoy their food! I usually get 2 spicy Bi Bim Cold Noodle (Bibim Naeng Myeon) because my boyfriend always wants his own and we share the kimchee pancakes. The ban chan is always delicious and I'm so happy that they still give them to you when you do a take out order. I've had their tteok-boki, as well, and it's great, also. Must get with ramen and the cheese. Just do it! This place is on the pricier side, but they do make up for it in the quality of their food. Be prepared for a wait, whether dining in or doing a takeout. They do take a break between the ending of lunch and beginning of dinner hours and are not open on Sundays. I wish they were open on Sundays. Location is absolutely convenient, located near Taco Bell/Pizza Hut in Ewa Beach. A must try Korean delight! read more
I love this place! Too bad I didn't find it before, as I am getting ready to leave this island. If you want authentic Korean food I suggest coming here. The owner and waiter are very friendly. My husband and I got meal B and it was more than enough. We left feeling full and satisfied. We were both stationed in South Korea and this is just like the Korean BBQ we had there. read more

I was craving Korean food last night. It was a little late (around 8pm) and I didn't want to venture out to Kapolei for Korean BBQ. I was going to chance it and go across the street to Yummys but opted to trust my yelp app. Yelp directed me to this little spot. Located on Papipi Rd right across from Shiro's and CVS, this place truly is a hidden gem. I've been living in 'Ewa Gentry for two years now and have never ventured further into 'Ewa Beach. Man, was I missing out. I pulled up into the parking lot and walked into the restaurant with a rumbling and hungry belly. There were a handful of tables that were full of hungry customers cooking their own food. Trust me, I love cooking my own meats but I was starving and wanted to eat dinner in the comforts of my own home. When I walked in I was greeted by two employees from behind the counter. They were smiling and very friendly. They motioned to the menu located on the black boards behind them. The only thing that blackboard menu is missing are the prices. When I asked for the prices, the woman motioned to a smaller menu on the counter. The prices are reasonable for take out plates. I didn't get a chance to scan the prices for the Ala Carte. I was debating between the combo plate or a meat Jun plate. For me, when I try new Korean BBQ places I always go for the meat Jun. So, I decided to play it safe and ordered the meat Jun. With your plate you get 1 scoop of rice and 4 choices of veggies. I chose the Daikon, seaweed, dried squid, and pickled onions. My boyfriend ordered the same thing as me. Once we ordered, we waited. It took about 15 minutes for our order to be made. The guy behind the counter told us he would check on the order. To be honest, I didn't really notice the time. I was preoccupied watching the Korean Pop bands they show on their television screen. Lol When my plate was finished, we got up and went home to chow down. Food review: the food was good. The meat Jun tasted like meat Jun and the veggies were ok. I have to stop comparing places to Gina's in Market City because I compare all my Korean BBQ to that lovely and tasty joint. I would rate the food "ok". Nothing spectacular. I do want to come back and sit in and dine. The customer service was great and the atmosphere was hip and had a young vibe to it. I'll be back. read more

Finally!! A delicious Korean restaurant in Ewa Beach. Sure there's a few places in Waipahu, but the food here, at Spoon, is exponentially better. The prices might seem a bit high, but the portions are huge. You're sure to leave with leftovers, enough for a second meal. Went during lunch and it appears to be a 'mom and pop' operations. 'Pop' ran front of house and 'mom' ran the back. While a small operation, the food came out faster than Ohana Inn and hot - steaming hot. It's undoubtedly made fresh to order. Glad I tried this place. Looking forward to my leftover spicy squid and trying more of their delicious dishes. While I hope this place remains a hidden gem, I prefer they remain profitable and in business so I can continue feeding my Korean food craving without having to drive to town. I highly, highly recommend trying this place. You'll be glad you did. read more

When you enter the restaurant you are greeted by the cutest couple ever and Maangchi playing on tv. This is already a great sign of things to come, methinks! We were able to pick our own table which is a plus. So glad to finally have an authentic Korean restaurant here in Ewa Beach! Ordered the haemul pajeon(seafood pancake), tteokbokki with ramyun(rice cake with ramen), Mandoo, and stir fried squid. Everything came out in a timely manner and in order too. Just be careful when you take your first bite of the food since everything came out piping hot! While the food was being prepared we got the best looking banchan ever! Spoon's banchan is by the far the prettiest, intricate and tastiest I've ever had(we got seven). They had the most complicated and tastiest fish cake, potato salad, cucumber, sea weed etc... I love the fish cake which was slightly warm and not the cold sort and the Korean potato salad(great balance of the vegetables and mayonnaise). What sets Spoon apart from other Korean restaurants is that when we were low on the banchan, the kind ajushi refilled our favorites. We didn't even have to ask! Can't wait to be back here for the BBQ! The food portions matched the price. Ate so much but still had 3 take out boxes to go. Gonna go heat up my leftovers now! read more

First time trying this place and will definitely be back. The Yuk Gae Jang soup was so ono! Tasted so authentic, like the kind you'd get from a good Korean restaurant in town. The broth was so flavorful and the meat was super tender. It tasted like they cooked long and they put love into it. Their meat Jun is a little on the thin side, but was flavorful. Their kimchi is great and so was everything else. Will be back for more! read more

Really happy about the food and service. The best Korean restaurant in town. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Their new Teaspoon Bar is amazing!! This is their oreo bingsu and it was delicious. The texture was super soft and a well balanced level of sweetness in my opinion. They have many other refreshing flavors of bingsu. They also serve other stuff such as coffee and sparkling ades. Will definitely be coming back to try more of their menu read more
My and husband and I wanted to eat here so bad because their online menu of the Yakiniku looked so good. Unfortunately, they stopped that service 2 months ago due to not having a sprinkler system and hoods for the smoke. So tonight, after work, we took the kids and invited other family members to join us for dinner. There was a total of 9 people (3 adults, 1 teenager, and 5 kids). They were kind enough to let my sister sit at the table as they waited 15 mins for us. Their service and hospitality were on point. I love that they take a Polaroid picture of their customers and place them on their walls. We ordered the combo; you pick 2 meats from chicken, Kal-Bi, meat jun or bulgogi. We chose the Kal-Bi, chicken and meat jun. Soft tofu soup, the spicy rice cake with cheese and bibimbap. The meat was on a sizzling plate and the bibimbap was served in a hot stone bowl. The main entree and side dishes were so worth the 1.5 hr wait in traffic. They also have a restroom. The restaurant is pretty small but you don't feel cramped when sitting at your table. Would I recommend this place? H*LL to the ye read more

Let me say, one of the best Korean joints on Oahu I've had in a while. So we decided to try this place out because we wanted something close to home but something we don't usually get. Service was good and attentive. It wasn't busy so they were pretty on it with refilling our waters and banchan (side dishes). Banchan is usually free but not that great tasting but theirs has a lot of flavor that we actually got refill on them (which we usually don't) they have 6 different banchan. As for our dishes we were pretty satisfied. We got the combo plate (kalbi/BBQ chicken) and soft tofu stew with beef. My favorite was the tofu stew (just thinking about it has me craving it, lol). They also have yakiniku there if you want to cook your own food. We'll definitely be back, we already know what we're going to order next time. read more

One of the BEST Korean restaurants I've been to. I've came to this store about 4 times now, and I still think their food is awesome! Although the prices are a bit pricey, it's definitely worth it. Plus the service was also great and super friendly. I'd recommend getting the kalibi and spicy rice cake, these two are my favorite. The side dishes are also unlimited, which is a plus! Just a side note, when ordering take out, it is a couple dollars cheaper than dining in but I do believe that the food is much better if it was eaten dining in rather than take out. read more

Did they open up the grills again? Last time I went they didn't offer it, bec the fire dept required them to install fire sprinklers.
Sorry last time I went the grills were still not in use.
Do they have homemade mandoo ? Or frozen gyoza 😢
I'm pretty sure it was homemade- they were really good
Someone told me that Spoon closed down.... is this true?
No, there was a netflix move filming event at Spoon. They changed the sign board as a mini mart for shooting. Now everything back to normal.
Any happy hour?
