Great little hole in a wall restaurant. Food was amazing for the price and got it pretty fast as well. If I could give more stars I would

All the food is good, but the taste of the beef bullgogi is real Korean food. I strongly recommend bullgogi.

Cant go wrong w/ spicy pork! Bowl was satisfying and proved to be enough for two servings. I like that some fresh greens were included.

I ordered the pork and beef combo, which is my most favorite flavor. I really enjoy the atmosphere here, and this is the favorite restaurant for me in St. Louis.

The restaurant is clean and fragrant as you walk in, the atmosphere is on point with Korean music lightly in the background.

Unfortunately it lacks in the food department. While flavorful the dish lacks complexity. Where is the egg, carrot, and the green onion? Also there were no spices available at the table.

Not major but the little things add up here. So as a result this quaint Korean restaurant gets edged out by the Seoul Taco down the street that provides a much better meal for the same price.

Good food RARELY gets delivery orders right it’s honestly so irritating.if you can’t do it right don’t do it.

The place is small with only three tables to sit, definitely could fit one or two more. The menu is small but the beef bulgogi with a fried egg was delicious! My husband has been coming here for a while now and finally convinced me to try it, it was pretty good. The lack variety on food and drinks but like I said, the place is small and ran by two guys only. It has potential for more.

Just blah - not korean but not "not" korean by any means.

Identity crisis galore.

But really good if even, you, don't know what you're looking for or what asian food is.

The food was sooooooo good. The beef bulgogi was amazing and the flavor of it all was so perfect. The employees were incredibly nice and so was their cooking.

Very basic Korean BBQ. It is my favorite food so I’ve had almost every K BBQ restaurant in STL and stopped here while I was in the area and needed something quick. There were only 2 people working so service was a bit slow. Food was a little bland and not enough sauce which made it dry. The bowl you get is smaller than I thought I would be getting for $15. It was all just OK. Would not come here again as there are just better options in STL

Very tasty food. The only thing is how chewy the beef was. Will continue to order here in the future.

Me and my friend had garlic soya tofu and spicy chicken here and it was amazing.
Good service too. Thank you for the good time.

Staff were very kind, especially when we needed an egg cooked extra well due to pregnancy concerns. 5 stars because of caring service.

Great flavor food although I wish I would have known I could get the beef spicy. And I would've liked to have more sauce because everything seemed a little dry.
When I stopped by last night (in a slight rush) I discovered pretty quickly that it was a mistake. Apparently the two people running the place had come short of to go lids and instead of letting the customers know (who were sitting there waiting for their food), they were waiting to transfer everything into other containers for new lids. They just had us sitting there waiting for endless amounts of time.

I was literally sitting there watching my food go cold for about 10 minutes while they were making up their mind on what to do.

I was supposed to be in and out of there within 15 minutes and it took maybe 30 minutes before I got my food. Food was relatively good management and process seems poor and slow.

Oh also, they don't have a soda machine. So you have to pay $1.50 extra for water. And the bowl is not big so I kind of felt ripped off honestly. 13 bucks.

BOBQ is one of those restaurants you didn’t know you needed. My wife and I typically try to find that one specific restaurant that hits both our cravings, and BOBQ was definitely there for us in our time of need. It’s a perfect portioned meal that gives you a blend of fresh and saucy protein options. It’s a fast take on your classic Korean BBQ, and boy does it deliver! It was a quick and tasty experience that left us wishing they had a second location downtown.

The service was friendly, the food arrived quickly, and the sweet and spicy tofu was absolutely delicious.

Little hole in the wall, but the food's good. Price is Right too. The sauce that comes with those pot stickers were phenomenal. That's all I had. My guests had a bowl each though and they were both very complimentary of their food as well. I think one was chicken and one was beef.
