Was Chris Brown at Kitok a mag?
This was a tough rating, but I'll say first everyone I encountered was friendly. I got the spicy pork, chicken bulgogi, and the oriental fries. The fries to me, missed the mark. You get a lot for the price, but they lacked seasoning. The main dishes come with a small salad, soup, and fried rice. I will say all the sides were generous and it wasn't just basic miso soup, which was nice. However for $15 per dish, you do... View all feedback.

This restaurant is a hidden gem, a local favorite. The kimchi here is outstanding. The beef and pork bulgogi is incredibly delicious. I'm happy I ordered the full size portion. While I didn't find the Oriental fries to be as amazing as others claimed, they were tasty when dipped in the provided soy sauce. The meal also includes a salad with a mayo-based dressing and a chicken soup appetizer. If we ever come back to Waco, we will definitely be returning to this restaurant.

My husband and daughter have been raving about this restaurant for 30 years, and I finally had the chance to experience it myself. This charming Korean restaurant also offers hamburgers and other sandwiches. The parking lot is rough with dirt and gravel, and the exterior of the building could use some attention. There is a small garden in front of the restaurant that could use some care. When you enter, you can see directly into the kitchen and feel the heat as you watch the chefs at work. The restaurant has only around 15 or twenty small tables, all of which are kept clean. The menu is concise, with just three delightful pages of real food options. This hidden gem is well-known to locals, and I hope it remains that way. I love everything about it just the way it is, maintaining its charm and tradition for decades.

Great burger and Oriental fries are out of this world! A favorite for many many years. My daughter loves the stir fried veggies and mandu.

Service was wondering, very friendly! I had the sweet and spicy pork and it was very tasty. Soup was like a chicken and potato reminded me of something your grandma would have made. Salad was fresh.
