Korean Restaurant & Market — Restaurant in Lancaster

Been craving some GOOD Korean food for a while— I still am!

I expected a ‘basic’ environment, but with all the good reviews, I was expecting good food.

First off, the place is a dumpy, run down store, in a dumpy, run down strip mall— next to a massage parlor.

Got there before noon, left just before 1 and there were a total of 3 customer groups—5 meals total, for the lunch ‘rush’

Couldn’t really read the cut up menu pasted on wall, but I asked for Lunch specials,,, she said no,,,, I ordered a bol- kogi which came with rice, a slaw like salad and some stale, tasteless kimchi.

The beef ( bol kogi ) was way below mediocre, the kimchi bland and wilted and the slaw like salad, tasted like it was made a month ago.

Also, the beef, not only was not very flavorful, each piece had chunks of fat and gristle.

Ohhhhhhh and the sodas we got, were not cold and they had no cups or ice.

What a disappointment— especially foe $45...

The quality is bad. But, the owner is very picky about the taste of the food so she cooks it herself. Looking for great Korean BBQ, drop in! Looking for a boxed military food served in a trough, look elsewhere. Eat with a shovel instead of hashi or a fork, look elsewhere. She doesn't cater to gluttony, she caters...

The lady who owns this place and does the cooking is very sweet and hard-working. There is a little bit of a language barrier so you must exercise patience when ordering. The food we ordered was very good, including the small serving of kimchi you will receive. Really the only reason I didn't rate this a full five stars is because the prices I saw online were fairly high, and when I went in to pick up my order I noticed the ACTUAL prices were even higher... the prices listed were out of date. So keep in mind the meals are priced very high. I know these are tough times though and we try to help out local people like this with...
