    Went there for lunch. It's a little tucked away because of the construction next to it.

    I had a bi bim bap and bubble tea. Both were fine. The owners are very friendly and the food came out quickly. Worth a spot in the lunch rotation if you are nearby.

    I had the bulgogi bibimbap which I really enjoyed. The people working there are very friendly and for the area, the prices are reasonable. I wish they had lunch specials though!

    WORST FOOD EVER!!!! I work right around the corner and the guys at work wanted to try something different for lunch. For some reason an employee must've picked up the menu out of the trash can where it belongs and put it on our break table. WORST MISTAKE OF OUR LIVES. Not a single one of my coworkers were able to finish our food. The spicy chicken wraps were inedible and my stomach is now in knots. I'll definitely have my plumber on speed dial later on. Another coworker got a Chipotle Chicken wrap and was literally quoted as saying "that s**t was so f***ing nasty!". The food wasn't the only thing that wasn't digestible. I tasted a smoothie that a coworker ordered and almost threw up. I asked him why he ordered a drywall dust smoothie and he informed me it was a Strawberry smoothie.

    In summary, this place should be shut down and the owners should be arrested for committing hate crimes.

    We apologize to Italian Gourmet Deli and Potbelly for wanting to try something new. But believe us, you have no competition at all with this place.

    Fuck you, Capitol Grounds Cafe.

    The BEST cut up perfectly ripe fruit in town...year-round! Hot food made to order. Very friendly and courteous.

    U-dong soup is wonderful, very flavorful

    The Bubble Tea is a great afternoon pick-me-up!

    Very small storefront ...you might miss it with all of the construction scaffolding in front of it. I ordered the bibimbap w/beef bulgolgi. It was very good. The people inside were very friendly. There isn't a lot of space to eat inside ...but my friend and I were very fortunate to score 2 of the 3 seats at the little sit in counter. The cook came out to make sure we had enough sauce and that the food was ok. It was ...my friend ordered just beef bulgolgi ...which is just the meat, rice and salad. We both ate every bit. The portions and price are good. The food was good. I wish I had taken pictures. I would recommend this place.
