Top Bop - Muldoon (AK) — Restaurant in Alaska

Bad experience both times I tried the food. First tried it when I got here in 2016, and was craving a little korean since its always available near military bases. Got the bibimbap, was extremely disappointed. They use microwaves and you can taste and smell it. When you walk into a restaraunt and you hear that telltale BEEP BEEP BEEP that is a huuuuuge red flag. Decided to try it on a whim again and was equally disappointed.

I think alot of people who've never been out of Alaska, or haven't lived outside of Alaska much or at all are used to the quality of food in Anchorage. There are some great restaraunts, to include good korean. Korea Garden is one(HINT: they dont use microwaves) being originally from "tHe LoWeR FoUrTy EiGhT" this place like many others(Kavas being one example) is really not great but when you lack quality and have no other option you learn to adjust I guess. I won't ever be eating here again. I know this is typical of asian restaraunts, but the lack of a kids menu is a poor choice as well. If I could leave zero stars I would.

Edit: I appreciate the feeback from the owner. I really want to like this place. The idea of fast korean appeals to me greatly but currently I cant recommend this place to anyone who is expecting fast casual korean. I also didnt try the poke as that is not my cup of tea that might be their specialty. I neglected to mention in my review that the kimchi was tasty, and that was the only highlight sadly.

Edit2: Owner replied, canned response, wow amazing, ill be back for sure since its obvious my feedback is being taken...

I've never been to a Top Bop location before but my brother and I decided to try it out yesterday.

The staff was friendly and helpful and fast. Nothing bad to say there.

The location was clean and pleasant. Nothing to say about that.

The food however, my bowl was cold on one side and warm on the other. I said to my brother, "Did they cook this in the microwave?". I wasn't impressed. Especially with Ding How and other Sushi places not far up the road, I was hoping for something better or at least worth the $10.

Interesting that it's in the same location the Quiznos used to be, I feel like it's basically Quiznos but with rice.

Other people were there and seemed to love it, so maybe it's...

I'm very disappointed with the order received today. We usually order from Minnesota and 90% of the time the top bop bowls look like the photos. I don't know what Muldoon does but there was rice at the bottom, a little cabbage in the middle and meat on top. Looks nothing like the photos. I saw 3 carrot slivers, no purple cabbage and my level 2 sauce just tasted like mayo. I think we'll stick to Minnesota location. And I paid $34 and they said it would be about 10 min...went to pick up and they hadn't made anything until it was paid for. We could have came in and ordered if that was going to be the case. What's the point of ordering by phone?...
