Funny Plus is the best restaurant in CO. I've eaten at the acclaimed top restaurants, but this is it people. They have a large selection of Korean alcohol: lots of soju and makgeolli! tons of flavors of each. If you only get a pitcher of beer, they give you a basket of popcorn. The serving sizes are huge. Don't make the mistake of ordering one entree per person on your first visit or you'll have leftovers for the next week.
But it's not for everyone. Do not expect to me waited on hand and foot. Acknowledge that you are asking them for a favor. To deal with your dumb white ass and your dumb white questions. To deal with you when you complain about the wait. This isn't a place where you finish in 40 minutes. The employees and creators of this establishment will not make concessions for you, so don't ask for them. Do them a solid and look up Korean BBQ before you come. Bring with you the friends you know can handle this environment. Dae Gee and many others are there for those who are willing to sacrifice food quality for better customer service. For best results, have 4 people in your party and maybe no more than 4 to be honest. Their BBQ tables sit 4, and if its not busy, you may be able to push some tables together but don't count on it.
When you arrive, you'll be asked if you are doing BBQ or not. On your first couple of visits here, you should do both. When you sit at a regular table, there are a lot of options like army stew, tteokbokki, etc. I see a lot of poeple get them so I assume they must be great. Unfortunately my s/o can't have shellfish so we can't get those. But! the half and half fried chicken is sublime. It's even good the morning after, a fried food miracle. The fries are also amazing. How? We think they use the same fryer for everything which is genius.
Here is our usual line up: – Bottle of Soju – Corn Cheese – Basket of Fries – Bulgogi or Galbi if we do BBQ – Half and Half Fried Chicken if we don't do BBQ
Honestly I have so much else to say about this wonderful establishment but just go. Be nice and go. It's next to H-Mart and K-Town Video and P&Y Cuisine. It used to say "HOF & RESTAURANT" outside but now its just the Hangul. I guess thank you to the employees of Funny Plus. We really really love you....
Read moreI am always open to trying new things, especially food. I've eaten some weird weird weird stuff in my day, from horse to wild dog to raw rooster livers to gazelle, and a lot in between. Random tangent there, my bad.
The girlfriend and I had been to the mainstream chain places (see Dae Gee), and we wanted to try something more authentic. My sister had raved about the fried chicken here, and the fat kid in me knew it was only a matter of time before I was to taste it. I cannot deprive myself of fried poultry for too long, or else bad things happen.
Came in STARVING. Hangry as hell, and needing some food in my life. Got it.
Dude, that fried chicken. I was wondering why it took 20 damn minutes, but holy hell, it was burning hot, still glistening in the shimmering oil of some unknown fat, and too hot to touch. The sweet sauce to dip was amazing. The other sauce to dip was a'ight, but nowhere near as good as the sweet sauce.
Also, corn cheese? What the heck is that? Awesome is what it is, try it. DO IT. A burning hot cast iron pan with cheese and corn and cheese and more cheese. Not saying it won't back you up like a cork in a wine bottle, but worth it at least once.
Here's the thing: I have no idea how to pronounce 90% of their menu. I sound like an ass trying to, so I won't even try. But the knife-cut noodle soup was awesome. The tofu rice was awesome. The "insert random white dude trying to pronounce Asian words with no linguistic background" was awesome.
Seriously, the food is dope, bomb, cowabunga, whatever 90s term you want to use, it rocks. Have yet to try the BBQ, but I bet it is killer too.
They're open late. Like midnight or 1am late. On weekdays. YEP.
Staff is polite and fast, but not overly friendly. I don't care, they get the job done, and bring me mountains of crazy food I would never have considered in the past.
WIll be back.
PS - Bathrooms are shared throughout the strip mall, smell awful, look awful, and may be from the 7th level of bathroom...
Read moreDiscriminatory staff. The staff took in people that came in after us of the same party size, and more, as we stood at the door waiting. Finally a hostess waved at us from across the store signaling for us to follow her. She placed our waters on the table and walks away as we were about to all sit down.
Less than a minute later before we could even get fully settled at our table she tells us we have to get us and switch to another table. We didn't mind until we saw the table, it was a fold-up table sitting adjecent to the refreshment cooler. Which made it really cramped. I informed her we came to grill the BBQ at the table like everyone else, as it appeared we were the only ones who had a fold up table.
She could not give us a reason why we had to remove ourselves from our original table. When I informed her that the main reason we came was to grill at our table and that we would like to wait for another to become available, she gave us a long pause and said more people just came in and she doesn't know how long it will take for one to open up..
There were only four of us and we have been waiting there, even witnessing the hostess take other people before us that showed up after us. She told us to take the fold up table and we could not wait for a real table to open up because they had no estimate of how much time it'd take. It seemed to be a clear indication that they did not want us there, which seemed extremely discriminatory. I would have been understanding had they given us a reason they took the first table from us initially, but we were given many blank stares and talking in circles that came to no solid reasoning.
We ended up leaving, there were plenty of other more hospitable areas around there I would much...
