"Totally loved this place. It's much bigger inside than you'd expect it. There was plenty seating inside as many people come here and grab their lunch to go. I tried their bulgogi lunch set and kimbap to go for later. The food is good and seems fresh. The staff is super friendly. The pieces of fried chicken were amazing. Things I would have liked: more spice or options to add spice somehow. More kimchi in the set. Oh, and the sauce on the salad seemed ready made."

"Absolutely amazing Korean street food spot. Many healthy options. Kimbab is the Korean rice roll with various fillings. Korean fried chickens bowl was amazing. They cooked the chicken on spot as soon as I ordered. Grand finale was Bingsu, korean shaved Ice dessert. This is indescribably fantastic. I would like to bring everyone to let them taste it.

"I chose a Bulgogi-Dosirak menu. The composition of the menu is quite impressive. You can try authentic Korean marinated stir-fried beef (Bulgogi) with rice, bites of fried chicken, and healthy light salad with two fried dumplings. What a joy in one box!! I absolutely recommend you try one of the Dosirak menus. Won't be disappointed. And I was so happy with my drink choice. A Korean micro brewery beer!! Over all, it was a very satisfying experience at AkarakaToGo."
