Hippo Grill Korean BBQ — Restaurant in Nevada

Like what everyone says, it’s basically a Yummys in Vegas with smaller portions. Tried their meat jun and Korean chicken. Korean chicken was dried and meat jun wasn’t anything special, more on the dry side also. Their sides is the best thing in my opinion. All sides are delicious but they only give a small scoop of each. I’ll be going back mainly just for their sides. Service is not great. No acknowledgement of your presence. Wait time is long so I suggest making a phone order.

Update: Tried their “just fried chicken”, spicy pork belly, fried mandoo, pork egg rolls today. Chicken was not great, more on the dry side for chicken bites. The spicy pork belly was the best entree I had so far. Not spicy at all, juicy and savory in a sweet soy sauce stir fried with mixed vegetables. Spicy pork belly was so good but these portions are small as always, even though I tipped 20%!!! Fried mandoo is not flavorful, pretty bland and dry. Pork egg rolls reminded me of a unseasoned Jack in the Box eggroll. Portions of side dishes becoming smaller also. Will return for spicy pork belly. I’ll try another new dish so I have a “go-to” set mix plate. Spent $42 for a mix plate and 2 appetizers....

Tried this place twice. Pretty good good, very hearty servings. I’ve only tried a few things:

-Meat Jun: first time ever having something like it. -KFC: love it! It’s actually chicken cubes not wings and drums like bonchon but delicious nonetheless. (Pictured) -spicy pork belly: it wasn’t overly spicy so I was able to enjoy it. Good contender as well. (Pictured)

This time around, I didn’t get the meat jun. Only complaint is the japchae wasn’t soft. It was almost as if the cold temp hardened it a bit.

I’ve ordered in store and through Door Dash. If I remember correctly, there’s nowhere to sit inside to eat. There is plenty of parking...

The price that YOU have set for my order reflects the cost of product, labor, utilities, etc. You are NOT providing a service that justifies a tip! I don't have to tip, but I did with my order using my card because I don't carry cash. When I picked up my order, I asked the big guy that literally just took my order 10 minutes prior for two extra sauces. He says 25 cents each and then laughed and said due to inflation. I am NOT running my card again for 50 cents! At my work, I always take care of my customers because repeat customers secure my job and pay! Due to INFLATION, I'll be taking my hard earned...
