It looks closed, but it's open. I noticed I wasn't asked if I wanted my food to go, so I wasn't sure if they prefer for people to get it to go. The portion size is cool, but the flavor is lacking quite a bit. It's nice as a introductory taste for a person who hasn't had Korean food before.

As someone who lived in Korea for 2 years, I’m very happy I found this place. Great tasting food and simple to understand menu. If you never had Korean food before, this is an excellent place to start with a small bowl. Please give it a chance and ask the staff for their recommendations on what to order and try.Kid-friendliness: They have a kid friendly tiger mascot. The small bowl is perfect size for kids as wellParking: Small parking lot, but always able to find a spot.

Quick and decent food. Recommend for a quick and nice fast food Korean. They also have Vegan option which I really appreciated.

Yum!! I got the noodles with bulgulgi meat and the mild sauce. I got a side of Kimchi and it was amazing. The meal had a bit of a bite but was not too spicy. Will certainly be back.

First time I came here it was closed so they may be short staffed. Somehow I came in today it was open but it looked closed and I chose a kids size bowl just to try out. It was really good! I got the beef bulgogi with itaewon sauce it was yummy! The dumplings were great too.

I really can’t tell you what I had, I just went with a small and added everything that I had a taste for at the time!!! But this baby was packed with flavor and the meat was super tender. Guys if your in the area….JUST GO THERE &.THANK ME LATER ✌?

Yum! The only reason i rated food 4 out of 5 was because the chicken teriyaki was supposed to be sweet so she for my lil ones, but it had a slight kick some minutes after swallowing. My spouse tested the chicken, unsure why our child was complaining "spicy".I loved my bulgogi with kimchi over rice. My dude said should've ordered bulgogi for the kids, since it wasn't spicy. I thought the chicken would be easier to eat for them.Still, i personally found the chicken teriyaki yum! It's not just the teriyaki flavor you get from bottled marinade. There's a certain depth of flavor after.They didn't like the fried dumpling. Also there was no dipping sauce for it?I would defo go back of i was in the area and looking for a quick yet tasty meal.Kid-friendliness: Staff was friendly and didn't mind my noisy kids. They had kinda high chairs if needed.

Orders are always done on time, food is fresh and tastes great! Bulgoli beef is delicious! Would recommend.

I've been going here about six months and I think it's safe to say I crave the bulgogi beef at least twice a month. Easy parking, great food, amazing customer service. No complaints!

I love getting food from here! We get it Door Dashed so I can't speak to the ambience or service, but the food is consistently amazing
Food is fantastic! I ordered Kodak on fried rice with some veggies. Used Itawon sauce. Unbelieveable. Chicken tender,plentiful but the rice was OMG good.Also got beef short ribs on noodles. Delicious,tender, noodles thick with tad of spicy.They have various yummy sauces too.

I wish I had come here sooner. The food is fabulous! I got cupdak on fried rice with carrots,green onions,pickled something. I kept it simple but they have many more veggies. Itawon sauce goes great on this plus a little of sweet sesame sauce. I also ordered the beef short ribs on noodles. Great too! One bowl was more than enough but I was trying different items.Very clean, staff friendly and helpful for first time. Definitely will go back.Also fast!

FOOD: Excellent fast casual Korean barbecue. You can choose to make your own dish with a combination of various noodles and rice, flavor meats, toppings, and sauces. I had the spicy udon noodles with teriyaki chicken, spicy gochujang sauce, and all the toppings. Flavorful, spicy, Great umami flavor.SERVICE: Came when it opened. Fast service, efficient.EXPERIENCE: There is some table top and table seating area for all, it is tucked away in the small plaza. Clean with Sunny windowsVALUE: Great value with most meals being under $12 and a lot of food. You will definitely leave full and satisfiedSUMMARY: Excellent fast casual Korean barbecue option. Come for a quick lunch and leave with a full belly and your taste buds satisfied. Would come back

Great place for a quick and tasty meal. You start your order on the right-side and work your way left. You can choose from a variety of carbs, meats, sauces, and veggies. I had the noodles, which were mildy spicy, with my pick of veggies, bulgogi beef, and Itaewon sauce - also mildly spicy. It was very filling and tasted great! Locations is good, too, and walkable from campus.

I love the concept of Itaewon Grill. Building my own bowls is fun, and it's always a plus when I can load up on veggies, but still have a hearty meal. And still- each time you go you can try another variation! For my first visit I had the hongdae noodle bowl and beef Jjim for protein. The thickness and slurpiness of the hongdae noodles was great, and though they aren't really spicy for me, having a tiny kick is better than nothing. The beef Jjim was flavorful and fall apart tender. The side of mandu were crispy and juicy, highly recommend them to beef up your bowl! My only concern with the noodles and protein is that they were lukewarm. The flavor was there, but the temperature of the food took away from the enjoyment some. Perhaps a better warming element or stir frying things fresh would help. I would personally love to dine in and eat this out of a hot stone pot!
