Bulgogi Bliss: A Korean BBQ Fusion You Won't Want to Miss!
This isn't your typical KBBQ experience. While they definitely showcase the deliciousness of marinated bulgogi, they've cleverly incorporated it into some familiar favorites, creating something truly unique. The bulgogi burger had flavorful bulgogi nestled in a soft bun with onion, chives, and carrots. The bulgogi tacos were tender, with marinated beef paired with fresh onion, carrots, peppers, and chives was a revelation. Beyond the burger and tacos, Assa also offers a range of other dishes all looking delightful and fairly priced. While I didn't get to try everything (sadly!), I heard rave reviews about the bulgogi burger and that was the first pick. The menu is creative and exciting, offering something for everyone, whether you're a KBBQ aficionado or just looking for a delicious and unique meal. The atmosphere of the pop-up was also fantastic. Ken and Savannah are incredibly friendly and helpful. This is Korean BBQ fusion done right....

We came for the bulgogi beef and were absolutely blown away. Every bite was a flavor explosion—sweet, savory, tender, and perfectly marinated with love and intention. You can taste that it’s made from scratch. It’s not just a dish—it’s a masterpiece.
I’ve eaten a lot of bulgogi in my life, but this? This was hands down the best I’ve ever had. It’s the kind of meal that makes you pause mid-bite, close your eyes, and wonder if you’re dreaming.
Do yourself a favor and run, don’t walk. Assa K-Food is a hidden gem that deserves a line around the block. Thank you for the flavor, the care, and the unforgettable experience. We’ll be back—again and again and again.
10/10. Michelin stars...
