I ordered a burger with regular fries and got curly. Burger was pretty good, but the fries were not good. Also got the kalbi short ribs with macaroni salad. The meat and salad were super salty. Couldn't even taste the sweetness of the kalbi marinade or the relish in the Mac salad. The ride was way too hard too.

I don't know why this place would have bad reviews. We almost skipped over them on door dash. I'm glad we decided to try it. Garlic chicken was so yummy. Loved Thats they had a potato salad or kimchi option. My husband loved his ham cho sandwich. They even called me when they didn't have the drink we wanted. Most restaurants would have just sent whatever.

We are in town for the holiday weekend and we're running errands in Santa Maria. I told the husband since it is National Burger Day, we should get "real" burgers for dinner. This place was in the top 5 Yelp recommendations. When husband saw the Korean food on the menu, he became disinterested but I was more intrigued, so I insisted. We both ordered a cult classic burger. It did not disappoint. It was yummy and messy and absolutely fabulous and tasty. Husband says he is coming back to try the ham-cho-chee (ham, chorizo, cheese) sandwich and I want to come back and see if the Korean BBQ beef and Kalbi short ribs are as good as my mom makes. Servers were polite. The place was easy to find, but I sure hate those darn roundabouts.

I just had the Kalbi BBQ ribs, and they were delicious, best I've had on the CA central coast. I'll be back.

I had their grilled garlic chicken and it was super good! I recommend to pair it with the macaroni salad.

The fried chicken is awsome

Slow customer service, don't have a sense of urgency. Spend 30min for 1 plate of food. Tastes great but I shouldn't have to wait sit down restaurant times to get a to go plate.

First time going. Looked clean when we walked in. Bathroom was clean. Counter person was courteous and patient as we ordered. We ordered the kalbi ribs, Korean beef, Ham Cho Chee sandwich w/ curly fries, gyoza (not pictured), kim chi, mochi, and mac salad. Everything was DELICIOUS! We tore it up! Great experience! Will definitely be back!

The place is always busy because it's next to Blenders. I ordered the grilled teriyaki chicken, but what I got did not appear to be grilled, and not much flavor. It was more like a sauteed teriyaki chicken, but no flavor at all.

REFRESHINGLY CLEAN CAFE! Professional friendly service! I had the teriyaki chicken, which was served with perfectly prepared sticky rice and oddly macaroni salad (or choice of potato salad). The macaroni salad tasted store bought (a flavor of "meh") from a giant box store. The chicken was prepared to tender, moist, bite size morsels, yet the seasoning on the teriyaki chicken was quite BORING! ((( The most mild "understated" teriyaki sauce I've ever had as though a traditional teriyaki sauce had been diluted.))) It definitely could use some pizzazz in the flavor ... maybe offer chopped dried Thai peppers. A clean cafe / restaurant tops everything yet I could use elevated seasoning / enriched flavors! Tough Love Challenge: Offer a more flavorful or spicy version of the teriyaki sauce. If you like a clean, no fuss meal, this place is GREAT! I may return if I want a clean, uneventful meal. Then too, this would make a great base meal to spruce up yourself with added enrichment to the sauce. Teriyaki Chicken - 3 Stars (A better Teriyaki Sauce would give it 4 Stars) Sticky Rice - 4 Stars Macaroni Salad - 1 Star (best to remove from menu) Cleanliness - 4 Stars
Great customer service. Super helpful when trying to find a gluten free option for my husband. Will be back.

Not good. Mediocre ingredients. The value you get for the price is underwhelming. I'm all for supporting local businesses but unfortunately, this ain't it. Ordered the short ribs but got mostly fat. I should have know when the only customer was me on a Friday evening.

The food was so delicious! So much flavor! We got the cult burger, mozzarella sticks, garlic fried chicken, macaroni salad and potato salad. We sampled a little bit o everything lol. Every single item was good...even the marinara sauce for the mozzarella sticks? We used doordash and even with delivery the mozzarella sticks still weren't rubbery. Very impressed! Glad we finally tried it out! Thanks for the great food!!! I could sit here and talk about each item. I just loved it all.

We decided to try this place out, and we were surprised at how good it was, and the place was so clean! The food was fresh and had loads of flavor. We had the teriyaki chicken and the garlic fried chicken. The chicken in both meals were juicy, and flavorful! The garlic fried chicken had the perfect crunch. The serving size was good too! Give it a try you won't be disappointed!

Was pretty disappointing the food didn't have much of any flavor or anything that kind of made the food stand out. It was kind of bland even with the sauce and toppings. Mozzarella sticks for pretty recruit still Frozen in the center. The kimchi was all right
