    Food was not that good. Portions was too little and charged too much for it. I order the fry chicken. The wings were too small that the meat is all dry up. The wings is the size of my fingers and the pork doesn't have no flavor. All i can say is don't waste your money here! I learned my lesson not to waste my hard earned $$ here.

    My friends and I ate here today. I grew up on Korean food (mom is Korean) and I cook it and my friends cook it. The food here was awful. Instead of bulgogi, they use teriyaki beef. The waiter said that's "their version" of bulgogi. My first reaction to my bibimbap was confusion over the corn in it. I looked through the bowl, there was like, sauteéd daikon or Korean white radish? Cooked, hot, and soggy. No spinach, no mushrooms, maybe shredded bok choy? But mostly, the meat tasted weird. My friend got the jjapchae. She asks me, have you ever seen this, it had broth in the bottom! And the meat tasted weird. My other friend got the spicy ramen and was happy. No napa cabbage kimchi, no radish kimchi. Cucumber kimchi that used napa kimchi juice to season it. Waiter told us this, that they have kimchi in the back but don't use it as one of the banchan. The jeon was an eggy mess! He also explained that white people don't like fermented foods, and so all the dishes are catered to them? I don't know about all that, I just know the food was the worst I've ever eaten. The service was ok, but I asked one waiter to bring out more banchan since two of our bowls were empty and he was surly and huffed at us! Do not recommend at all!

    We had a party of six and we’re told that the wait would be 15 minutes and so we told the waiter that’s fine. Then he came right back and said that it’s going to be anywhere from 30-40 minutes. We said that’s fine as we were still waiting for two more arrive and they did shortly after. We continued to wait inside by the front for more than 40 minutes. Throughout the whole time that we waited, there wasn’t any customers that left the restaurant. After more than 40 minutes the waiter finally grabbed some menu and waved to us motioning for us to follow him. He seated us at the big table in the back of the restaurant, which was empty this whole time. There was already water on the table so we thought, “okay, maybe they’ll take our order soon as we had plenty of time to figure out what we wanted”, only to continued waiting. As we continued to wait, we noticed one waiter brought the check to the party that was next to our table and another waiter actually went and sat down to chat with another table. 15 minutes had passed by and at this point and none of the waiter have come take our order nor brought out the side dishes. We waited more than 40 minutes to be seated when there was space that can accommodate us, then waited more than 20 minutes sitting at the table without getting our orders taken so we walked out. I don’t know if the owner changed, but the atmosphere is no longer the same.

    Disrespectful customer service! Me and my friend went on Sunday, a very cloudy day. The inside was dark, me and my friend was trying to looking for a brighter spot to sit. we sat on the corner first. After we place the order, we think it was not rush hour, not many customers. so we decided to moved to a brighter side. A short asian guy came(assume the manager, but not the owner) said we are not allowed to sit where ever we want. Because we didn't follow the policy. I asked for a recommendation to a better brighter side, he say nope. He was harsh and threatened us by not serving the food, if we are not back to the seat he wants. I'm not buying that. All we want is good customer service experience and nice food. ME and my friend think it's not worth to ruin a Sunday, so we decided to leave. He was rude, his words were harsh and not being polite. We are the people to bring business with, should have some courtesy !

    Our favorite was spicy-sweet dumpling, loved the sauce. The beef bibimbap was tasty. Their service was so fast, 5 minutes after we ordered we had our food. Save some room for Korean tea at the end, we got the citrus flavor and we loved it. Definitely give it a try

    I have been here twice now and have enjoyed it. It is a nice and clean atmosphere, and the staff are nice. In fact, one of the waiters made a lot of funny jokes and really made their customers feel comfortable and chill while eating here. They also provide a handful of small dishes to go along with the food, and these seem to change each time. However, I will say the food is a bit pricey for the quality. I’ve been to a lot of spectacular Korean style restaurants and have had a lot of Bulgogi, and kind of feel Stone Bowl was more mid-level and didn’t have anything that made it stand out or even compare to some. The food was presented well, but I unfortunately have to admit that the flavors lack a little luster. I wish there was more of the typical sweet, savory and smoky flavors I’ve had elsewhere, but this Bulgogi is unfortunately a bit bland. I will gladly come back to try different dishes, but hope they are more flavorful.

    I always enjoy stopping by Stone Bowl for solid Korean food. My mom got a noodle soup, my dad got steak bulgogi, and I got one of the single serving pork barbecue dishes. The barbecue comes with small appetizer dishes thats typical with it. If you want to know what arrived first, it went: noodles > barbecue > Tteokbokki (rice cakes) > bulgogi. Serving sizes are huge so if you plan on getting a regular portion size or getting a variety of food, plan on splitting one of the single serving barbecue dishes. Also let your server know if you can't handle spicy foods and they will make it mild for you. The chef made our tteokbokki very mild, actually kinda sweet which was the perfect spiciness level for me😅 (my dad said it was kinda spicy, but me & my mom said mild). Food was delicious for everyone😋 We took some food home since there was a lot leftover! The street parking is always hit or miss depending on how busy it is or if it's near dinner time. There was no wait for a table around 2pm on Sunday. Service was really good! Our server was really nice & humored my dad who had a bunch of old dad jokes. There's also soft kpop music in the background of the restaurant. Staff were wearing masks & the place seemed really clean. The only minor negative would be that there were a few drinks and desserts unavailable, but it was nice to eat out again here!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Get your tastebuds ready for a ride, especially if you're a fan of spice. Korean grill and more. Even though they treat you to 4 rotating sides. Be sure to start yourself out with an app the spicy sweet dumpling was our choice. Entrees and options we wide we went with the traditional bibimbop and the spicy Ramon seafood. The bowls came steaming hot which was perfect on a chilly night. The cooktop on the table went unused which sets up to make a return appearance to tackle the BBQ and a variety of Korean beers and specialty drinks next time.

    Very good options and food. Service was fast on a weekday for lunch. Pork belly had generous shareable portion and spicy pork was also good with a hint of sweetness to it. Kimchi fries were okay. Cheese was not fully melted and meat+kimchi ratio was low. Might try a different appetizer next time. Atmosphere was relaxed with some Kpop playing in background. Would be a great place for more casual date or hanging out with friends/family.

    Cozy atmosphere, nowhere near as loud or crowded as Rice n Roll and honestly much better for it. We had the bokum noodles and the fried veggie dumplings - the server said that they're better than the beef ones, and honestly they were incredible. Staff don't hover, keep the place nice and clean, and are helpful if you have questions. Great flavor, I'm looking forward to coming back in the future!

    Like always the food was delicious. Spicy Ramen is mix of spicy and boiling hot that just warm the soul. One of my favorite dishes. Their sides are so flavorful that you just want to keep eating even after you’re full.

    First photo was December 2021, and the second photo is from 2016 of the same spicy ramen dish. I always loved it and got it every time. This time I tried it and the pork was dissatisfying, and only had shredded carrots and green onion as topping, the broth didn’t even taste the same. It was empty and disappointing. In 2016 the ramen had seaweed, enoki mushrooms, carrots, green onion, and probably more. I don’t think I’ll be returning.

    Not the tastiest. I wanted bulgogi with vermicelli noodles. He recommended 34. It was salty and not very good. Kinda soupy. My son got the bulgogi in the skillet. He said it was alright. It was tastier than the 34.

    Food was excellent, but the atmosphere didn't feel inviting at all. Inside is very dark and they could use some colors as well. Service was ok and I was never asked if I had visited their establishment in the past or if I know anything about their menu. A little bit of guidance would have helped.
