A lot of Korean restaurants in America will swap out ingredients for cheaper options, but this restaurant included the seasoned shiitake mushrooms, squash, and bean sprouts. Additionally, the fried egg was a perfect circle. You could tell that Baek really cares about the food it serves. It's no surprise that the lady working in the kitchen is very kind. The restaurant is also very clean. For anyone from NYC or Atlanta or Korea, Baek is a solid 5 stars for Hickory. If you're in the area craving Korean, it'll more than scratch the itch.

It was off hours, like 4pm, so we got the dinner portions. I must say, the portions are remarkably large and quite a value. I was able to eat a full meal, save the rest, and eat another full meal the next day. Same for each of the other dishes ordered. The egg drop soup was of the style i appreciate, I got the chicken chow mein, it was great. Good ratios of meat and noodles and veggies, cooked perfect and full of good flavor. My wife got the General Tso's, it was above average for that dish. I had some on the third leftovers. My oldest got a bento box, and it was larger than they expected as well. My youngest i forget her dish, but she enjoyed it. For a weird time the staff was great, very attentive either out of boredom or just that's how they do things there. Seating area was comfortable and clean. Very happy we decided to check it out.

This…read moreplace hits every note: amazing food, great service, and good vibes from start to finish . --- First Visit: Our first time here, both my husband and I tried the Pho Ga (chicken pho) -- and wow, pure comfort in a bowl! The broth was rich, soothing, and full of flavor . The chicken tasted fresh and tender -- no freezer-burn weirdness like at other spots ‍. We also got the spring rolls , which are always so crisp, fresh, and beautifully wrapped. But the real star? That peanut sauce -- creamy, flavorful, and totally addictive. You'll literally catch me scraping the bottom of the bowl, not even pretending to be polite . To finish it all off, we tried the coconut boba -- cold, creamy, and sweet in the best way possible. It instantly became our favorite treat. --- Second Visit -- October 10, 2025: This time, I decided to switch things up and tried the Bún Bò Xào -- and oh my goodness , thank you to our amazing waitress Maggie for recommending it! It was so flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and the textures were spot on. And yes... I had to get the spring rolls again because, let's be honest, they're irresistible . Of course, we got another round of that coconut boba because it's just too good to skip. My husband stuck with his pho and is now completely obsessed with the broth -- he even asked if they sell it by the container so he can sip it at work on cold days . --- The People & Atmosphere: Both times, we've had the pleasure of chatting with Cindy, the owner ‍, and she is amazing. You can feel how passionate she is about her food and her customers. She's warm, down-to-earth, and full of great energy . It's rare to find an owner who is so involved, but Cindy makes the experience truly personal and special. She even gave me suggestions for what to try next time -- and you bet I'll be back! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming . You don't feel rushed, and the servers are attentive without hovering . The background music sets the perfect mood, and the bathrooms are spotless -- which says a lot about how much they care about their space. --- Final Thoughts: This restaurant is a hidden gem -- the kind of place that feels like home from the moment you walk in. Delicious food, genuine people, clean environment, and that warm, family feel that's so hard to find these days . We're so grateful to have found this spot and plan to keep coming back again and again . Highly recommend -- 100% worth every mile of the drive!
