I dont even know WHAT happened here. I arrived at this establishment as soon as it opened, at 11am. Im thinking thats probably the best time--everything should be really hot and tasty. I ordered 1/2 chicken (BBQ sauce on the side), 4 Wings (BBQ sauce on the wings), a side of collard greens & yams and 2 pieces of cornbread. Now the Korean (Asian) individuals that run this joint initially appalled me -- but okay, I digress, I reasoned that they should know what theyre doing... My order was ready within 15 minutes -- that was quick! The Asian lady opened up my containers to make sure I was pleased with everything. But there was an immediate issue; the 1/2 chicken that I ordered had the BBQ sauce on it, when I had actually ordered the sauce on the side. The Asian male cook looked super pissed b/c the lady had failed to relay that message to him. She mentioned to me that shed have to pay for that order out of her pocket...uhmmm, okay. So they corrected the order and everything certainly smelled good. However....it was the very, worst (Yea, I know, double negative!) BBQ Ive probably ever had. The 1/2 chicken was dry and very miniature in size. The flavor was there, but not much else. There wasnt an ounce of liquid or juice in the container, just some dehydrated & dusty-looking chicken. The BBQ chicken wings also looked funny. Ive visited Korea before & they warn you about dogs being a delicacy. I dunno, my mind immediately went to those canines when I saw those wings---they were so stiff-looking. I kept trying to tuck the wing part so itd fit on the plate, but it just keep popping back out & the wings were soooo fragile and meager-looking. The sides [collard greens lacked seasoning and were not cooked fresh to order. As much collard greens as Ive had growing up I knew they were at least a day or so old. The yams were okay, sweet and chunky]. The corn bread was soggy on the bottom & a bit sticky on top, again not baked fresh, it had been taken out of a refrigerator. I tasted a little of everything, but it was not what I was expecting, nor what my cohort was anticipating either. The BBQ sauce was savory however. Cheap food though, everything was less than $22.00. But I will keep it moving past this one; you win some, you lose some.

It was a Saturday evening, my boyfriend and I were seriously craving for some soul food. We typically go to Levis on Livingston Rd, but decided to try something new. Ive been to the Hogs on the Hill in Dc off of New York Ave and absolutely love their food, so I figured it was worth giving this location a try. I I nstantly knew I was going to be disappointed when I walked in and had a foul smell hit me in the face at the door. The young girl that worked there was pleasant though, she took our order and even suggested what she has had befor. I ordered the catfish dinner with collard greens and Mac and cheese for sides. My boyfriend ordered tilapia with sides as yams and cabbage. We sat inside and waited for our orders. As we waited I saw a Chinese man in the back, Im guessing he is the chef, make our food. The whole time we heard frequent "dings" from the microwave! We get our food, and get home and couldnt have been more pissed. Chewy, gummy, and completely disgusted is the best way to describe my fish. Cabbage disgusting... And please tell me if you have ever heard of "yam cubes". Thats what the yams look like! Everything was completely terrible. I would NOT recommend this place to ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im literally giving it one star because I cant post a review without doing so.

The smell of smoked meat is predominant as you pull into the parking lot. While the service leave something to be desired, the food is generally quite tasty. Dont expect a fanciful feast but if youre in the neighborhood it is worth stopping by.
