The wings here are billion stars if I could give it to them. They are the best you'll ever have. Crispy, juicy, flavorful. My only knock is that every time I come here the service is a bit lacking. Due to the way they make the wings, they do take a bit longer than normal to come out, but it is worth it.

Food, service and ambience is still the same as always. Four (4) 's because management changed and last I was there I was charged $4 for ranch sauce for my wings. I was really taken atback by this when I saw the bill and the waiter did not notify me. Please take a look into this as this is not fared.

I'm a bit disappointed with this place honestly, especially with service. Food was at best 4 stars. It wasn't the worst Korean fusion food I've been had. But at the same time, they could improve. When you walk in, it's a very interesting place. It wants to be a Korean pocha, but it feels Mexican at the same time with the artwork on the wall. The best thing it had was the 90s K-pop playlist they had playing. Menu is super simple. But anything more complicated I don't think they could have handled. I was hoping for more to be completely honest. The soy garlic wings were extremely salty and very garlicky. So be prepared to have garlic breath for the rest of the night. And need to guzzle water too. The BULGOGI quesadilla was ok. Definitely on the sweeter side but could have been worse. The fries were pretty good. Service was at most a two star for me. I heard this place is under new management. So you'll have to be patient and give them time. Don't come here if you're pressed for time before the Red Bulls game. The manager herself literally has to watch over everything otherwise it falls apart. The table next to us stood up and left because no one came over to take their order. The manager had to do a lot of service recovery. They can't keep track of their orders and what table they belonged to. The guy receiving and delivering the food went to all the wrong tables with food and even came to us with more food meant for another table AFTER we had already paid. As someone who has worked in restaurants, I cringed at the disaster going down the drain. The waiter who was training was lost in the sauce and didn't know what to do with himself. The host also could have been way more helpful to the staff. The manager had to make all the drinks as the bartender too. Their systems did not work. So many things fell apart. The weirdest part was we were all served in takeout containers. They forgot to give us silverware and then proceeded to give us plastic ware. Forgot to give us plates for sharing our appetizers. Needed to ask for that too. We saw other customers going up to their stash of plastic ware to grab it themselves. Idk if they didn't have a dishwasher or something. But when we walked by on our way home after the game, all the tables were set up nicely with really silverware and plates.

I was craving tacos and I love Korean food. I was curious if the concept of mixing Korean food and putting it into tacos. We decided to get take out. We got the fish taco, spicy pork, and bulgogi taco. My favorite is definitely the bulgogi taco. I'm not a huge fan of getting bulgogi on its own, but having it in a taco with other things in it as well was delicious. We also got the double crispy wings and they were so delicious. I loved how there's sauce left over and it's actually completely covered and not partial. Definitely will be coming back here whenever I'm craving Korean!

1.3.23 I absolutely love & adore this place. The food has always been absolutely DROOL worthy delicious. The tacos are so succulent with flavor bursting from every direction. There was so much going on with the tacos and their flavor profiles i was in a food coma. The service and hospitality was amazing from the first day i started going here a few years ago. The owner actually has family here in Connecticut and comes here to Connecticut often. The food is always fresh. Cool vibe going on in the restaurant with a handful of this up on the wall. The best Korean tacos in the area by far. I've often stuck to similar orders with some of my favorites being the Bulgogi tacos, the spicy pork tacos and the kimchee tacos. I'm torn for my favorite between the bulgogi & kimchee tacos with the latter probably being the all time favorite. They definitely have a relationship with flavortown & their food. That's for sure. They usually have a taco special going on. On Tako Tuesdays they have any 3 takos for $10.00. A great deal. Their tacos are well worth the cost even without the Tuesday special they run. They are amazing. They are located very close walking distance to the Harrison train station. There's always people walking by to go catch the train or just coming off of it. Great location with phenomenal food, great prices and fabulous hospitality. I fully recommend this place to anyone. If you haven't been here you're missing out.
