I can’t give a review of the food because I never got to taste the food as I walked out. I went in to order the kimbab. Well, they’re not very welcoming for starters but then when I placed my order the guy in the place responded to me so nasty that I’m supposed to order my sauce first and just pointed me in a direction where I had no idea what to do
To me that is not a good thing and when I approach the manager, she couldn’t even say sorry oh oh oh Well, the guy who was just so rude to me and condescending stood there, smirking at me!
Fortunately, this is New York, and if you try hard enough, you can find Korean food in a multitude of different places. I really would not recommend this place, purely by the attitude of the staff.
And the mere fact that the guy just smirked at me and that the manager just didn’t seem to care, is indicative that the owners don’t care either and will certainly not take this review seriously not care about it. Also read the other negative reviews. The owners don’t respond.
As a business owner and as a consumer, I know that that...
Read moreThis place is like a Korean version of chipotle. Coworkers and I decided to check it out and ordered online for pickup (the estimated time wasn’t accurate and our food was ready earlier than stated). Even after telling the staff our names for pickup, they insisted for a receipt so make sure you have that handy which is a bit cumbersome. I built my own plate and selected wild squid, purple rice, soy dipped egg, kale namul, and cucumber kimchi with a side of samjang aioli. Also added a side of beef bulgogi and got the Korean iced corn tea. High quality food, but the portion size can be worked on. Was a bit disappointed with the wild squid but the beef bulgogi was tasty. My favorite out of it all was actually the samjang aioli. My coworker also got a bulgogi kimbap which was about $14 (similar price for a plate) which is expensive. We expected to be stuffed with filling but was average, which was a bit disappointing. Not sure if it’s worth...
Read moreDiscovered a new Korean spot @eatsopo in Manhattan! You can choose one protein, three sides, one carb, and one sauce to build a colorful platter!
Among the sides, my favorite is the Korean marinated egg! It’s rich in flavor and slightly sweet. The smoked chicken even has cartilage you can bite into, not dry like chicken breast. The steak is perfectly mixed with fatty bits, adding a rich taste with every bite! The kale is well-seasoned with a hint of garlic and a slight sweetness. I picked purple rice, which is chewy, and it’s topped with bits of seaweed and sesame.
The kimbap is freshly rolled! It’s delicious on its own, and even better with sauce!
This place was started by 3 Michelin chefs. Just 10isn bucks you get a filling, balanced, and nutritious meal. Such a great value!
They also have a fun “K-Culture Passport” where you can check off the...
