We came here and ordered the Bulgogi Kimbap. While the food tasted great, the wait time was unacceptable. This restaurant is essentially part of a big food court (You expect your food to come out waiting at most 5 minutes), but we waited well over 15. Kimbap is essentially Korean sushi, and we ordered two rolls. If we are around the area again, I will try another shop if we have to wait this long.
This place is sub par at best, and next time I'm in Ktown this place won't even be on my radar when Woorijip is across the street. Had the bulgogi kimbap and ddokbukki to share. Kimbap was dry and bland and lettuce is such a weird addition. Not a fan. Dokkbukki was good! Nice texture to the rice cake and big pieces of fish cake but didn't make up for the meal being meh. Go across the street for the good stuff!
Worst service ever. Ordered the dukbokki (which usually comes with fish cakes and and one egg).
Got upstairs and realized she only gave me ONE SINGLE FISHCAKE (WTF?!).
Went back downstairs to (very) kindly ask her to possibly add 2/3 more so it'd be a BIT more proportional/fair, and she absolutely REFUSED to be understanding and spoke in broken English that it "come with" and "portion."
Pretty ridiculous – you're now on my blacklist and I hope every person who checks yelp sees how crappy service you provide.
I'll be going across the street from now on.
Whatever you do, don't order the goddamn soondae aka blood sausage. It was the worst thing I've ever had. I had a bite and it was just weird. It had no flavor and the texture was funky. I hated it so much I got a take out box and gave it away to a homeless person. True story.
Avoid this place at all cost.
I love the korean food court, I really do because it's so affordable and quick! And I always pay a visit to the food court every time I come to NYC.
Granted, I think I'm not nearly as picky with Korean food because I live in the Midwest and just getting ANY korean food is like the heavens opened and the light is beaming down on me in the cartoon world.
Anyway, Gochujang is in the Korean food court. It's on the left hand side first floor and I love getting the kimbap and ddukboki. It always tastes good to me. I like that it comes with a little side of soup with each dish.
Word of caution – be very specific when you order combo vs. "Can I get the kimbap and ddukboki" because they will make it two orders and you won't get the special combo pricing!!!
Other than that, I love this little shop. Other Korean sit downs around the food court would be pricier but you'll have more choices.
Don't forget about the dessert shops upstairs on the third floor!!!
Came here for the first time last week and I'm a fan! I only had ten minutes before my train so I needed something seriously quick to go. Paid $7 for a bulgogi kimbap and I was very satisfied with the portion and soup that came along with it.
The Gochujang served me some kimbap and fish cake soup but there are other options such as tteokbokki, tempura, and blood sausages (soondae). It claims to be Korean school food, but I'd say more like street food / snacks. While there are set lunches/dinners to order from, you can also buy items separately. The service is extremely spotty and the two staff members that man the counter seem overwhelmed by the amount of orders placed. They give you a buzzer to inform you the meal is ready. My bulgogi kimbap was great but the tuna kimbap was not as flavorful or spicy as I would've liked. The fish cake soup was delicious and soul warming.
I would probably give this place another try but if the kimbap spot across the street looks more appealing, I might be over there instead.
Came here for lunch this week. I had the Ramen soup with fishcakes –it was very spicy which I love. Awesome flavor and lots of eggs it was very tasty.
The place itself is kind of like a food court in the mall. There's lots of little tables and tons of Korean and Japanese food options.
The food comes out pretty fast –within five minutes. Great for takeout, or to grab a quick lunch.
