Love the food at this place. Very delicious & lots of good options. Music is too loud for my taste. Great place to hangout with friends to grab bites & drinks.

The service was friendly but the food was inedible. Cold fries (tasted refried) and over-salted everything

Came back here again last night! Just as good as the last time. We got Shumai, which is like the fried shrimp dumplings!! SOOO good perfectly crispy and warm! We had to get the pork belly cream pasta again. By far my favorite dish here! We tried the shrimp friend rice this time! Super delicious and lots of shrimp!! The server here is the absolute sweetest and is always on top of it. One of our new go to spots now!

Pork cutlet and bulgogi sliders are awesome

Pork belly cream pasta ~ 10/10 Decided to get something different for late dinner yesterday and most definitely didn't regret it. Husband said it was quick to place the online order and easy pickup, would order again!

I've been here too many times than I'd like to admit-- it's just so convenient because I live right next to it! Food is mediocre, service is quick, they sell alcohol, what else do ya want? If you're looking for food, definitely recommend cafe gunul over knucks!

This is a good place to go if you want to drink and chat with your friends after school or work. It had a lively atmosphere even at 10:30 pm on a Thursday. As for for the food, it was okay. I ordered a cheese ddukbokki and I was pretty disappointed because it mostly sauce and maybe 10 actual ddukbokki. Considering it was $16, it was not really worth it. My friends and I had to order extra fries just to dip it into the leftover sauce because all that was left was giant clumps of cheese and sauce. The seafood cream pasta was my favorite though! Very creamy and savory. Almost like Alfredo sauce. I would definitely recommend to order that the next time I come here. Service was great even though it was a bit understaffed. I would come back here again for the vibes.

This place holds solid memories for me lol.I've been visiting Knucks since discovering this place last year with my friends. My most recent time was to celebrate my graduation with friends after dinner several months ago. I can't remember the owner's name, but it was really neat to find out that we went to the same school, same major, and shared the same experiences with our program. He was very nice to come around to have drinks with my friends and I and even give us a bottle (or two?) on the house. Haven't had the chance to try the food yet outside of the truffle fries, but that will be a goal for next time :)The staff working have always been very nice, the vibes are fun, and if you enjoy drinking soju, this is your place!

One of my favorite asian pubs to hang out at due to their large selection of draft beers and amazing food. A new addition to their menu is the bulgogi pizza and it tastes so good especially whenever you're drinking. The bulgogi pizza is so light yet flaky and crispy while having so much depth of flavor from the bulgogi, corn, and special sauce.

The food was super yummy! The drinks were great and the staff friendly. Definitely coming back
I've always passed by Knucks and always have seen a number of people inside. We finally decided to go in and have dinner. We were really impressed with the pasta (kimchi pasta and seafood pasta) and added some truffle fries. Couldn't forget to get some soju to wash it all down.

Delicious bar food and great beer selection. Heavy food though, be prepared. The cheese dukbukki was very heavy and ended up taking most of it home.

I ordered the brussel sprouts, wings sampler, and kimchi fried rice. The brussel sprouts come in a small round cast iron plan and are seasoned with parmesan and a lot of garlic which contributes to a pretty intense raw garlic flavor. The wings sampler comes with fries and 3 pcs of soy, original, sweet and spicy. The batter for the wings is different from other Korean fried chicken chains as it tends to be more dense and almost grainy in texture. Additionally, the wings themselves are quite small. The soy wings are lightly sweet, less so than bbq or bon Chon. The original flavor wings are lightly salted. I could imagine some people wanting more either thru other spices or a dip. The sweet and spicy wings aren't particularly spicy and if I had to choose, edge out the soy as the best flavor. I don't usually order kimchi fried rice so I can't comment on how it compares to other places but the person I was eating with mentioned she preferred her own home cooked kimchi fried rice due to the strong sesame oil flavor in this one. I will note that those who aren't good with spicy food might find this dish quite spicy. Overall, this is a restaurant that does a lot of different foods but none particularly as well as restaurants that focus on those items.

I never knew Knucks existed until I found out of that place's existence because my club wanted to go there for dinner. So I drove up there, met my buddies, and it was the best decision I've ever made. Got to meet a lot of my friends, ordered the kimchi pasta, and it was the best thing I've ever had there!! The kimchi taste was subtle, but it more than makes up for it in its great mouthfeel/creaminess and a good amount of portion sizes for just one dish!! Originally knocked off a star cuz it's pricey, but since it's with friends, I put back up a star because I realize that great food like the kimchi pasta goes great with awesome booze and even better company/friends. Will be coming back here with my buddies the next time I'm craving midnight food or just want an escapade home away from home!
