Kimchi Pop 2 by Chef Son — among the best korean in Uptown. The kind of spot that earns loyalty, not hype. Flavors that haven't been adjusted for mass appeal.

“self-serve side dish bar, take out and dine in and limited dinner hours only (5-9 pm) but totally worth the wait for authentic tasty diverse Korean meals”
I want to like this place since it's right by my house. And I love Korean food. But it's gone downhill.
I was craving for Korean food and thought I give this place a try instead of my regular I got the seafood soup ( soon Du Bu ).

“Literally the best milk tea I’ve ever had.”
Literally the best milk tea I’ve ever had. The taro and basic black tea flavors were amazing. Each drink was $8. Service was so kind too! Can’t wait to go back!

“We ordered the stone bowl beef bibimbap which was absolutely delicious.”
We ordered the stone bowl beef bibimbap which was absolutely delicious! We got a matcha tea and blueberry yoghurt drink to accompany and I have to say their drinks are totally worth it! The staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive! Kudus to the person doing waiter/cashier/cook role all at the same time! Lovely experience!

“great for groups or solo.”
great for groups or solo. self-serve side dish bar, take out and dine in and limited dinner hours only (5-9 pm) but totally worth the wait for authentic tasty diverse Korean meals! Bathroom could be better. Tv with K-pop playlist is fun. Street parking only. Have come here twice already and is my go-to for Korean food in neighborhood. Prices so reasonable for portion sizes! Tried rib-eye beef platter, and hot bulgogi, japchae noodles with chicken, and spam rolled sushi (although last two dishes were not dry). My friend loved her fried rice and dumplings!

Ordered fresh bibimbap that tastes good. Tho not warm, but not cold, it still has good flavor. Must try place especially with free sides and choco pie dessert. Thanks!

Excellent recipes, just the right amount of options, speedy service. The overhead lighting could be nixed, though.
