Some may say what can you expect from a franchised small business. But a business is a business…read moreregardless of what type. I write today not because I expect five star customer service or food at Subway, but because I expect common behavior such as explaining a menu at a minimum at any food business. I didn't think it was out of the ordinary that with three staff (all assuming they were family members who run and operate the business) were there and no other customers, it took them at least five minutes to just acknowledge me. So, I just watched and listened as they continued chatting away with each other and standing at the register. When finally, a gentleman came to ask my order. I ordered and he was having a phone conversation so kept repeating the same question. That's all ok and I can get over it. However, it was when the second customer came in. He asked if I ordered and I said yes. Of course, they all took their leisurely time to ask his order. He orders the new item of the nachos on the menu. As he was trying to request toppings, one of the older ladies at the register appears so quick, I didn't realize her legs can move that fast - and starts yelling, "You can't add toppings, that's it! Just cheese and whatever it comes with!" So, the customer asks "I can't pay extra for it?" She yells again, "No! That's it! Doritos, cheese, and whatever it comes with!" And SHE asks him "Have you had this before?" And as the customer tries to ask something else, he says "No, I haven't had this before, it's my first time and last time I'll ever have it." Obviously, he was unhappy with her tone that he said this, but never once did he raise his voice or get upset. He was so calm. But, instead of just explaining how this new item "works," this lady just continues to repeat the above and by that time, I'm just checking out and was confused and very displeased by how she was treating him from the body language, voice tone and volume. And one can hypothesize why. Was it his skin color? The way he was dressed? Why would it even matter? But I can't help to think it might matter more than we would want it to. To add further context, he was just a worker nearby getting off work getting food. If it's a new item on a menu, it doesn't cost the business owner to just explain it without yelling. If it had been explained, I wonder if maybe he would've ordered another item and maybe it wouldn't have been his "first and last time." This was a witness-account experience that directly impacted my personal experience at this business. It doesn't matter how big of a franchise or small of a hole in the wall business, a paying and respectful customer should not be obligated to know new menu items without ever seeing or having tried it and be yelled at for asking questions about it. Pretty simple and completely unnecessary how it had to be played out. **I understand and can imagine all the types of rude and horrible customers and non-customers a business can get, not to mention, the difficulties of owning a business. However, that sentiment goes both ways- even the customers can be having their own challenges , everybody is going through something and when they walk into a Subway, it means they want something fast and fairly affordable to just fill their stomach. If someone doesn't know an item on the menu, just explain it. Don't yell and treat them like s***.

They don't honor their hours of operation. I've been outside for over 20 minutes trying to open the…read moredoor while somebody standing inside blatantly ignoring me while they're allegedly still open I've tried to utilize the phone number, but guess what it doesn't call that location zero stars, but I have to leave one.

One of my favorite lunch places when I go to the office. It's quick, tasty, and relatively well…read morepriced. I've tried most of the bowl items -- the spicy pork and tofu ones are my favorite. They're tender, hot, and I appreciate the spice level. It's spicy enough to keep every bite interesting. I usually get them with the purple rice. I also like the cucumber, corn, and radish sides that come with the bowls. They add variety and a crunch with every other spoonful. There's a kiosk that I use to order, but the folks behind the counter are quick to help too. They provide utensils and napkins at the end of the counter. Matko is a great fast-food Korean lunch spot. The seating in the food court area is spacious, and should be filed with more office workers enjoying a bowl of Jeyuk Bokkeum.

It's not the most authentic Korean food, but this is a great fast casual Korean option! I got the…read morebulgogi and the marinade was pretty authentic. However the cut of meat was not correct. It still worked though! I like how you can add some sides, like kimchi, bean sprouts, fish cakes, and cucumbers. Again, the banchan isn't as good as my mom's but all things considered it's pretty tasty! I'd come back here for a very nutritious and flavorful meal! Pro tip: order ahead so you can skip the line!

I ordered the Kids Carnitas Meal ($5.95), which comes with two soft tacos (carnitas/pork), brown…read morerice, corn, a mini bag of chips, and apple juice. The carnitas were shredded with a little fat, but not spicy. I liked that the flavors were simple and mild. Compared to the adult portions at Chipotle, the kids meal is much smaller and lighter, which I actually prefer sometimes. The regular bowls or burritos can be quite large, so the kids meal is a good option if you don't want a heavy meal. Overall, I like the kids meal portion size, especially when I just want to eat something light.

This Chipotle should be studied in business schools as an example of how to charge full price while…read moredelivering absolutely nothing of value. I ordered a protein bowl and received a rice monument with a ceremonial sprinkle of meat--so small I initially thought it was an accident. It was not. When I asked (politely, foolishly) if that was the correct portion, the employee responded with an attitude so hostile I briefly wondered if I'd personally wronged them in a past life. The look I got suggested I had committed a crime by expecting food from a restaurant. The bowl was 90% rice, 9% disappointment, and 1% protein hiding for its life. No apology. No correction. Just vibes. Bad ones. If you're looking to pay premium prices to be disrespected and malnourished at the same time, congratulations--you've found your spot. Everyone else should eat literally anywhere else, including their own kitchen floor.

This was my second visit to this Chipotle location, and unfortunately the experience was again…read moredisappointing. I understand that they stay busy with both dine-in and takeout orders, and I'm willing to give grace where it's due--but the overall operation here feels chaotic and poorly managed. Whoever is running this location clearly needs support and a better system in place. The cleanliness was the biggest issue. The floors were dirty, tables were messy, and trash was overflowing throughout the dining area. In a restaurant this busy, tables and trash should be checked and maintained every 30 minutes to an hour like clockwork. Paying customers should not have to wipe down their own tables or hunt for a clean place to sit. Basic supplies were also missing. There was no ice in the machine, no forks or spoons stocked, and lids for drinks were nearly gone. The counter area was dirty as well. These are fundamental details that should be monitored continuously, especially during peak hours. A simple restocking and cleaning system would make a huge difference. What made this more frustrating was seeing several employees standing around behind the counter, appearing overwhelmed and unsure of what to do--like deer in the headlights. Time wasn't being used efficiently, and no one seemed assigned to maintaining the dining area or addressing obvious issues. With clearer roles and leadership, this could be avoided. With the increased cost of eating at Chipotle these days, you'd expect that higher prices would come with a cleaner, more organized environment. Right now, that's not the case at this location. The food itself is fine, but the lack of cleanliness and organization makes it hard to enjoy the experience or want to return anytime soon.

Orders for pickup are never ever ready on time. And this location is unfortunately always dirty.read more
