Great Korean [inspired] foods. The staff was amazing an had a good balance of checking in with you and giving you space. I went for happy hour and enjoyed some Mango and Lycee SoJo cocktails. I overate by diving face first into an order of spicy calamari (which was good but not that spicy), Burnt Rice Nacho were okay, the Oppa Gangham Fries with beef bulgogi was amazing. The downside is that the place was empty... inside and out on the patio. While they arent in downtown they are in a busy shopping plaza; nobody wants to eat in a place that looks vacant. If it wasnt for the staff that jumped to attention as we walked it we might have left thinking they were closed.

I visited this restaurant for the first and last time today. I came in unsure if it was even open because no one was around, after waiting 5-10 minutes someone finally came out to seat us. The service was horrible and the waitress was rude. I order what was the most DISGUSTING kimchi jjigae Ive ever had (not spicy, sweet!, 3 pieces of pork, pilled high with bland kimchi, and almost no broth). Horrible experience. Would not recommend.

Stumbled on this place and thought the name funny. Now I know, the signature dish that the name refers to is delicious! Service is quick and friendly. Food is interesting and tasty. Small place with a warm inviting decor. More of a casual place. Goods for lunch or dinner. Food came quickly and was piping hot. Try your fries "Gangnam Style"! That is a meal all in itself. #ReviewLocal Couldnt really ask for more!

Burnt Rice Korean Restaurant is a very good BBQ roadhouse restaurant. The food is always good and the service is usually pretty good too; though at times may leave a bit to be desired. There is no better place in the area for ribs and their side baked potatoes are as good as it gets Throw in a good selection of brews on tap.Theres nothing left to do, but smile smile smile!!

I love going here its my favorite korean fusion restaurant. I always order the kalbi lunch plate or their chicken katsu sandwich and I also enjoy their ramen stir fry and their philly sandwich. Its a very welcoming place with friendly service and the place is always clean. My mom likes the tofu stew and the hot mussels. We will always go back here to enjoy our meal.

I like the idea of this restaurant. However, the food was underwhelming, everything lacked the flavor punch I was looking for. I was surprised that the kimchee wasnt spicy, even the "hot sauce" they served was more of a ketchup, overly sweet and only mildly spicy. This place is probably a good place to watch the game as there are several TVs in the small space.

Food was a bit salty for our liking, but everything else was good. I had the ramen bulgogi and my friend had the bulgogi lunch plate. Cant complain about the 2 for $22 lunch deal, but again the food just was a bit too salty for our liking. 4 stars since they had Firestone DBA on tap ;)

Small little gem of a restaurant. Excellent plating and good portion sizes for what you pay. I recommend their chicken: great flavor and with just enough kick to satisfy. Small restaurant but the vibe is warm and welcoming with excellent staff!

A small korean place with a modern air to it. I liked the dishes and found quality and price to be fairly good. The place has a view giant TV screens and tries to offer cool cocktails. Not a misstep to stop by here.

The Jumblia is Awesome if you like spicy, I like with noodles. Love the food and they change the tap local craft beers regularly! Good music, sports are played on 3 tvs and the service is all smiles and personable.

I always online and this freakin restaurant never make anything on time, I dont know the reason. May be because they dont have cooks or may be they dont care. They do it all the time .....

Tasteful Korean fusion cuisines, the Gangnam fries taste really good, topped with Korean chili powder, cheddar stewed jalapeno sauce and chopped kimchi, a bit spicy though

This is a great Korea fusion restaurant! I love the Gangnam Fries, Ramen Stir Fry and Burnt Rice BBB - my favorite meat choice is the spicy pork.

waste of money for me... $9 for an entree the size of an appetizer, and they forgot the peanut sauce on a to-go item. Not very polite either.

Great little place! We had the gangham style Philly and the Kung Pow chicken, and both were excellent. Try the Gangham fries!

This place is true Korean with real fusion variety. Nothing like this anywhere comes close. Great flavors, huge menu
