“Stopped in to try for a quick lunch. First time here so wasn't sure what to order but we opted to share an order of bulgogi tacos. The beef was so tender. The Kim chi was perfectly spicy. All toppings were diced small to make eating enjoyable. The staff was friendly in that we could sample any of the entrees. The desserts looked delicious but our order came with 4 tacos for 15.99 and was quite filling. I would love to return and try other dishes.”
