I have to update a previous review. I went here recently to try it out again. My previous review was after Big Bang Grill took over ownership of Korean House. The food at that time was no where near the flavor or quality of the previous owners. It was disappointing because it was the same menu options without the same taste. BUT... after going back years later I have to say they dramatically improved. I LOVED the food and it reminded me so much of Korean House recipes. The owners were extremely nice and I'm happy to support them. I hope to visit here in the near future again.
My first time there.. The owners were very friendly and welcoming The food was absolutely delicious Large portions for a reasonable price Their Thai tea no dairy was perfect I will definitely be back !
Good food! Really nice ppl from my multiple visits too. I always rate a place by asking myself if I'd return or not. And yes, I will and have been returning.
This place is a great neighborhood spot. The service was excellent and the server greeted regulars by name so it shows that they care about their customers. I really enjoyed the food. I asked for medium spice and they nailed it. This Asian fusion stands up to any other place I have tried. The atmosphere is relaxed and I would best describe it as a warm dive. I'm glad I walked in the door and if I am ever in the area again this will be the first place I look up.
Big Bang Grill is a true dive. It's like an old house, or part of one, which neither serves to make the place feel homely or off-putting. It's just a funky place. Which adds to the funky food offerings? The menu is fairly small, but very varied. The operation seems small, but the service was quick and attentive. I got the korean style spicy pork and very much enjoyed it. along with that I got a thai tea which was great. I asked about the house tea and was offered a sample, and wish I had gotten that from the start - very refreshing. I liked the pork so much, I'll be back for sure, and if not to try some of their other offerings.
This place is great Food is made fresh to order Authentic enough, just not very spicy at all. Even when you ask them to make it burn. Very modest with flavorings. Everything is fresh so you will wait longer than usual to get your food but it's made with love. They also have to be tied with lady's chicken and rice fodder the freshness and quality. They do sell out of them quickly tho so order in advanced. Also they actually take the time to answer the calls no matter how busy they are. Their portions are very generous. To sum it up it's good It's affordable It's a local business you should support. The area to done in is a bit smaller but it allows you to feel more intimate and engaged not only with yourself but your surroundings.
LOVED THIS PLACE!!!! little hidden gem. New favorite spot for Kasoy!!!!!!! Everything was so tasty and I will definitely be coming back. If you haven't tried it and you love Asian food I definitely recommend
This is a total hole in the wall type of restaurant. But the food is absolutely amazing. My husband got the fried chicken and was in love with it. Service leaves a little bit to be desired, and the restaurant doesn't feel incredibly clean. However, for takeout I think it's awesome.
Always nice to come over here! The food is always delicious and the service is always great! The ambiance is friendly and warming! Sometimes we get the Korean food or the Lao beef jerky which are all delicious! It's nice to have a fusion restaurant that caters to both!! This time we wanted hot soup! I brought my mom the other day and got some chicken pho and beef pho. The chicken pho was delicious the broth was hot and tasted great the chicken was fresh and tasty. My mom had the beef pho the broth was also delicious with a lot of beef pieces and meatballs! It's so nice to get something hot in your stomach during the cold months! And the place doesn't disappoint!!
BBG is a hidden gem. A small family owned eatery serving top notch food. The owners are very friendly For lunch I ordered the Galbi Ribs. Marinated to perfection and very tender. I'm very impressed with the marinate and the portions were plentiful. A nice complete meal with Rice and Green Salad. *** May is Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Support Asian owned businesses.
