Kang San — Restaurant in Box Elder

This is the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant in my life. I ordered the sweet potato noodles. Once I got it, I realized it was not what I was expecting. I thought sweet potatoes would be orange, but there were clear slimy noodles. There was that boy about 1oz of beef in here. I brought it up and explained to the woman that the wasn’t what I was expecting. I very nicely apologized and asked if I could please have something by else instead.She very rudely snapped at me and said “THESE ARE SWEET POTATO NOODLES”. I again apologized and said it just wasn’t what I was expecting and was hoping to try something different. All she said then was “ what do you want “. I said can I please have the beef bowl, add veggies. She walked away in the middle of me talking. I just stood there confused because I wasn’t sure if she heard me or not. Her back was towards me for about a minute when I realized she wasn’t coming back so I just awkwardly went back to my table. The new food was awful. I love salt but all I tasted was salt in this and she didn’t put any veggies in it so I didn’t even get what I ordered. I was too uncomfortable to even ask about the missing veggies. When we went to pay she charged me for the more money expensive meal that I returned! We kindly and hesitantly brought up the mistake to her but she said it was not a mistake. She said she hates customers like us and it was my fault I didn’t like it. My husband was so patient and told her he likes his food but mine honestly just was not good. She threw the money at us and told us to never come back. Wow. What a...

This is a very late post but I feel there's value added to taking the time to rate/comment this business because of the memorable experiences that I've experienced here. Not to mention, I'm trying to play catch-up to some of my reviews that I've missed in the past.

I had the privilege of watching the start-up of this restaurant several years ago, and I can clearly see why it's been so successful. From the moment they first opened their doors, the food quality has been exceptional. My family, friends, co-workers, and I used to eat here approximately 2-3 times per week. Now that I reside in Las Vegas, I don't get the opportunity to visit this restaurant and the family that owns/operates it...which is unfortunate - the family was always so friendly and welcoming to their restaurant!

There's not many restaurants in this world to which I can claim that I've tried over 94% of the items on the menu. Although one of my favorite dish on this menu is the Bi Bim Bap, all the food options are phenomenal.

After leaving South Dakota back in 2014 to move to Las Vegas, I did have the opportunity to visit Kang San a few years later and see if anything had dramatically changed. To my knowledge, nothing turned for the worse and I did manage to talk to the owner again to catch up which was awesome. I also got to see my picture still on their famous, "Great Wall of Kang San," which was very nostalgic. Thanks for all the good food and great memories - I highly recommend this place...

I decided to give the place a second try (my original review was a 1 star simply because I was let down), and it’s pretty yummy :)

I would just suggest putting more meat! The bibimbap and beef bulgogi are really good. I don’t like kimchi with large chunks, but the bulgogi was so flavorful and had good portions :) ! Delicious!

(MY OLD REVIEW) Very low review because I had high hopes for this place, but the following happened: ordered two bibimbap (each are shown to be 12.00 on the menu) but when she charged me, it somehow came out to be 30.08 !! I know taxes weren’t 6.00 extra, so I’m sure she added on some bucks because it was my first time there found a hair in my food, the woman who was there and cooked it wasn’t wearing a hair net. only a few pieces of meat, I definitely expect more meat for the amount of rice put in (it was literally five pieces of meat) 15.00 for some very mediocre “i made this at home” kind of cooking. My Korean friend’s mother made bibimbap better than this and she never would have charged 15.00 for it.

Very disappointed since this place is super close to me and I was hoping I stumbled upon a diamond in the rough. The food was good, but it’s definitely overpriced...
