Very well priced for the amount of food you get. Seating is very limited, however, especially during peak meal times…even with the additional seating they recently added. Also if it gets busy the food takes a while to come out…anywhere between 15-30 minutes, depending on how busy it is. The food court in the HMart on Union street has the same menu but is rarely ever as busy and crowded as this one. If you can, head there.
Before you go food shopping or if you're already shopping at H-Mart, a savvy shopper always nourishes their body properly. Now pushing and maneuvering those food carts take energy. A perfect way to feed those muscles is to visit the K-town food court which is conveniently located inside H-mart.
Now the word K-town food court is a little bit of a misnomer. They call themselves a food court and there is only one restaurant inside that serves any real food. K-town provides seating inside and outside.
Ordering food here is easy: Place your order- pay and they assign you a number – When they call your number walk up and pick up your food. They cook your food to order which is a plus!
A cafeteria like setup -The menu is displayed on LCD screens. They only have a total of 24 items since the dishes are sequentially numbered from 1 to 24, order #25 and you're out of luck! 🙂
We ordered #3 and #16 the kimchi jjagae and pork dosilock. The kimchi jjagae was hot and the tofu was silky smooth. I could be wrong but I detected a hint of lemongrass in the jjagae which really enhanced the flavor. The pork dosilock was flavored in pepper paste with its saltiness and sweetness it really balanced nicely, it is a little on the greasier side, but its a guilty pleasure I don't mind enjoying in moderation
Let me tell you something, they don't skimp on the portions here. The single serving entrees can easily feed 2 or more people. If you want to save a buck or two on drinks, there is a water cooler in the rear of the restaurant with cups. The water cooler dispense cold/hot water.
K-town food court truly is a great spot for some good old fashioned Korean comfort food and it does so without breaking your bank!
holy shit, this place is the BOMB!
great choices, delicious, slightly pricey but BIG portions, so no complaints there. even the bahn chan was on point.
soooo glad i came here.
One should only come here if they like cheap, fast, authentic Korean food.
…and if they can even find it.
K-Town food court is a veritable hole-in-the wall, well-hidden from those not in the know. Nestled within a corner of H-Mart, a Korean supermarket, one must actually come into the market and walk past the cash registers and the Paris Baguette mini-bakery to find it. You know you're there when you've reached a tiny alcove of seats and tables, where a ton of Koreans are nomming happily from trays laden with food. The menu, mounted on the ceiling above your head, is surprisingly extensive – noodles, stews, and rice plates – but I have yet to be disappointed by anything this small kitchen turns out. Pick what you'd like and then place your order with the first cash register (or, if you feel nervous about mispronunciation, order by number). Most items here are less than $10, so take a moment to feel really good about your upcoming bargain meal. They'll give you a receipt with a number, and your only job now is to try not to salivate too much as you wait for them to call your number. Your order will come with a few side dishes, such as small plates of kimchee or picked vegetables. If you ask nicely (and it's not too busy), the servers are happy to supply you with refills.
My past orders have ranged from from the bibimbap (mixed rice with vegetables and hot pepper sauce), soondubu (soft tofu) stews, and fried rices, but my personal favorite is the cholmyun. By sight, it looks indistinguishable from the bibimnaengmyun (spicy cold buckwheat noodles), but first bites will immediately reveal differences. The noodles, made from wheat flour and starch, are uniquely chewy and cooking them right is, in itself, almost an art form because I've had too many cholmyun dishes that are rubbery and overcooked, or tough and undercooked. Here, they are prepared with a deft sense of timing and post-pot cooling, and for $8, I have ready access to a bowl that rivals my mother's.
My fiancé and I love coming here for the cheap plates and laidback, casual atmosphere. Drop your fork by accident? Want more water? Need some Sriracha sauce for your bowl? Go to the counter and get it yourself. And since we're bussing these and our own trays back and forth from the counter, there's no need to leave tip.
P.S. We've also been wondering about the BYOB status of this joint, since it's right next to the market, where you could easily purchase beers and beverages and bring it with you.
Delicious Korean Food prepared and all ready in lightening speed! Note: Orders are usually done instantly but it can get crowded on the weekends. It is such a brilliant idea to have a food court inside the same complex that holds both the outstanding H-Mart and Paris Baguette. The menu is presented on TVs with food order #s, food order names, food order descriptions, and food order pictures! The menu has a variety of dishes to choose from. I'll go back every week just to try a different dish! Eat fully, and then go shop shop shop to digest! Eat indoor or out at your own leisure. Eat happily! Best yet, have dinner in the food court and then walk over to Paris Baguette for a delicious slice of fresh cake OR go over to H-Mart's freezer for a box of Mochi (Green Tea Yum)!!!
