This was a surprising find on 29/6/2024. I can understand why it's not really on the radar because of the portioning of food and the low price to cater to the budgets of the students of the 2 schools nearby. Plus it's not really located in an obvious area in Austin.
I had the bulgogi rice bowl for lunch. The meat was marinated well. On a whim, I went back to the shop to pack for my kid for dinner and I decided to add an extra portion of meat.

For the rest reading this, just remember to custom order the double portion pork bowl the next time you come here if it's still not on the menu and pick 2 different flavours for the pork. Apologies the dinner photo was taken after half of it was eaten.
In short, I...

My friends on the other hand, ordered soup with noodles. Apparently the noodles were cooked too long and were soggy ... But there are quite a number of people having dinner here. Probably it's not a good day for the chef. I'll come back again to see if the food is better in...
Read moreThis dish is absolutely delicious! The rich and flavorful broth is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of spice to keep you coming back for more. The ingredients are fresh and well-cooked, especially the broccoli and the sausage, which add a nice crunch and savory taste. The cheese melting in the center adds a creamy richness that ties everything together beautifully. A must-try for anyone looking for comfort food...
