While looking at the menu outside a passerby blurted out, “small portions and not good”. I am not deterred by drive by hecklers. I saw that Spoon Korean on Ashby was also listed as a business in their menu and I really like Spoon! So I have to go in. Smaller appetite and I was intrigued by their yangnyum chicken, I tried a half order of boneless. They offer different flavors with wings, boneless, or with bone. Nice variety to suit my appetite! The chicken arrived hot and had a nice glaze of yangnyum. The basket seemed to over flow and I counted 10 big pieces. The chicken had a really nice crispy seasoned crunch that I liked right away. The sauce seemed to be a gojujang, ketchup, and honey. Very sticky and spicy. I took some to friends just after and they ordered more and we feasted. Yes, I will go back for yangnyum and check out more of their Korean menu. Solid!

Great crispy bibimbap, only issue is that I asked for multi grain rice and I received white rice. Not a huge issue, though.

My first time eating here at bowl’d bbq. I will definitely be going back. Aside from the delicious fried chicken, the service was great. The waitress was very patient explaining the menu to us. They have beers on tap, and the coconut slushy was okay. We ordered 2 orders of fried chicken between 4 of us and ended up taking half of it home. We’re big guys but these chickens were bigger.

Takeout experience: ordered their japchae (6.99) with beef (+$2). Tasty taste! Not too sweet and the portion is perfect.

I have tried Garlic before and Yangnyum chicken this time. I can say it for sure that their chickens are a bit salty. The sauce itself was good but there was not enough sauce to be mixed with the chicken. I wouldn’t recommend chickens. The chicken serves 2-3 people. And it was easy to eat with bonless chicken.

Tteokbokki was more sweet than spicy. I liked that they had makgeolki cocktail carafes (ginger was good) but the only soju cocktail flavor that was good was yogurt

Ahhhhh, the food is so good, I really want to give it five stars, but the service was just too bad for that. Lots of staff were looking at their phones constantly. Super tasty and huge portions though!
