I’m saddened to write this review. The owner of this restaurant is legit and I know he makes great food. I’ve loved his Orem restaurant and was super excited when they opened this Saratoga location. I’m born and raised in Oahu and have missed true local grinds since moving to utah.
The first time I came to the Saratoga location, I ordered kalbi and meat Jun. it was HEAVENLY. My mouth was watering. If you’re looking for legit Hawaiian style kalbi, this is the place. Reminded me of being back home. The meat Jun? Yumm. This is the only place I know of in utah that sells this! Also the sides were to die for, they had Kim chee and potato. I usually do not like potato but dang it was good. The Mac salad was also great. The noodles were a good texture and sauce tasted like it was straight out of Oahu.
Unfortunately the second time we went the experience was not as good :(. I really want to love this restaurant because it reminds me so much of legit food back home. This time we ordered chicken katsu and meat Jun. they were out of the garlic chicken which is what I really wanted to try. meat Jun was great again but the chicken katsu was just ok. There was no katsu sauce. They only have the Kluck’s sauce. Wish we got 2 meat Jun plates instead. And the Mac salad this time was very….different. the noodles were much smaller and super hard. They seemed like the box noodles you get in Mac and cheese. I write this review in hopes that I can keep coming back to enjoy this amazing yummy food and that their Mac salad recipe the second time we went was just because they ran out of ingredients for yummys and was just using the klucks Mac salad. I love this restaurant and hope there’s more consistency when we come back! I know opening a new restaurant is tough but hopefully the owner...
Read moreI went here with my K-Drama group (6 ladies that watch Korean dramas together once a week). We were so confused at first because it was inside Kluck’s Chicken (since of the best chicken I’ve ever had) and didn’t have the menu up yet, but eventually we found it! We all tried something different. They were out of many options- I hope they’re figuring that out- but what we did have was fabulous and well worth the price! I got the more expensive Meat Jun, but WOW- it was delicious and amazing! Everything we tried was tasty....
Read moreI'm so happy we can finally get authentic Korean food here in Saratoga! Beef bulgogi is always a safe and tasty option—sweet and comforting. But if you're into spicy food, definitely try the spicy pork bulgogi. It's super flavorful and has just the right amount of heat.
The side dishes are awesome—gamja jorim (soy-braised potatoes) is always a crowd favorite. My personal favorite is the cucumber kimchi. It has a little kick and is...
