Actually went to monoyaki a few years ago, it wasn't bad but it wasn't memorable. I went here a few days ago and Boy. It was very different. I had the salmon, skin rolls and a bimibop. Everything was amazing.

I like this place a lot! Staff is always helpful, and they always check on you. I tried the Nangmyun. It was definitely a different type of soup for me since I've never got a cold soup before. The type of noddles were new for me, but I loved the taste. I also tried the Kimchi fried rice. They gave a lot! I was really tasty, but I was expecting a bit less cook egg on top. The Yaky mandu with pork was a big tasty surprised. I was amazed with the flavor! The place was a little bit too hot for me, though. It seemed that the AC was not too powerful, but it was not a big deal.

This is a cute Korean fusion restaurant that has really tasty dishes. The customer service here was great, our waitress checked in with us regularly and was friendly and nice. I tried the yaki mandu, kimchi fried rice, and nangmyun. Everything tasted amazing. I especially liked the nangmyun because I wanted something cold and the dish was perfectly cold and icy and very refreshing. I would definitely come back.

The service was good and only a slight wait time. I always get the jjambong here! It's one of my favorite dishes of all time. I'm a bit picky with Korean food because I always compare it to my moms or in Korea, but I actually thought this was decent. I usually do not get other things because I had a very bad experience with the army stew ramen. It was so bad please don't order it. But I love how big the portion is and the soup and noodles is amazing. A tip if you're still hungry is to get a side of rice and dump it in. Another tip is to ask for the banchan ( AKA side dishes). They only give if you ask and it's always nice to get free things!

I have been eying this place for some time now and due to my cravings for Korean food - I decided to place a to go order. This business is located near Steak & Shake and before you get to La Tienda, which is a busy road. When parking, be mindful of the potholes as it does need some TLC. As I stated, I did do a to go order and went around 5pm and thankfully it was not too busy. I was in the mood for a bibimbap, which I ordered with beef bulgogi and the traditional way with a sunny side egg. I also asked for a side of kimchi. My hostess stated it would be about 15 minutes, so I waited inside at the front seating area. My order came out before the 15 minutes which was great. Once I got home, I was so ready to dive in. For starters, the portion size was HUGE. It came in a nice container with the rice at the bottom, veggies, meat, then the sunny side egg on top. The gochujang sauce came on the side. The beef was tender and very flavorful. I loved the way the flavors of the veggies and meat combined with the kimchi and sauce were complimentary. The one thing I did like was that the sunny side egg was fried too hard for me. I wasn't able to mix the egg in as much as I would have liked. However, I will definitely come back here to visit for lunch as I saw they offer daily specials and have a vast amount of dishes that looked delicious!

This was a short walk from Hotel Eleo, sat outside which was a nice area and lit up at night. Got the veggie Yakima Mandy, which was pretty good but the best was the sweet roll. It had tempura sweet potatoes so you got that nice crunch! Would definitely get that again. Service was also great and she was very informative about the menu and the vegetarian options. I'd like to come back and try a few more things that caught my eye on the menu.

Located pretty close to UF campus, this Korean, fusion, and sushi joint is definitely worth a visit. You might ask why only 4 stars then, honestly service and a parking lot that needs some tlc. Exercise caution entering the parking lot, it kind of comes on quick and sharp if coming from campus. Once on the lot, it can really stand to be replaced as there are lots of holes and dips (so also be careful walking. Now for the service issue, it wasn't even the servers fault. Our server was the only one for the entire restaurant. One server and one food runner for a fairly busy average sized restaurant. She was doing her best but she was only one person. They have daily specials and a lunch menu if you're looking for some deals. The menu itself is quite large with a variety of traditional Korean dishes, sushi, desserts, alcoholic beverages, etc etc. There was even a menu we saw on another table that has some type of Korean tacos. Now for the star, the food!! We ordered 4 dishes for 3 people and polished off every single dish. Hard to pick a favorite but I'm usually partial to anything eggplant so the KANPOONGKI was a hit. The BIBIMBOP was also pretty delicious with its sizzling and crispy rice, although we may not have let it sizzle long enough for more crispy rice. The shrimp udon was tasty but perhaps a little sweet for me. Also the shrimp all seemed to fall to the bottom so it was a little disproportionate eating but still tasty overall. Will definitely be back when in the area to try more items and the sushi.

I haven't been to Momoyaki in years and friends it did not disappoint. Ambience: The same. Nothing has changed. Including the parking lot unfortunately. BEWARE of potholes! Careful driving and walking. I almost twisted an ankle, but I didn't ding them on that bc it's really about the food. The inside looks exactly the same as it did 6-7 years ago. Food: Great! Delicious! Fantastic! I highly recommend coming here. They have new menu items since I've come here and the one I decided to try was their Gimbap. They have veggie and bulgogi versions. It was great. I wish it had some type of sauce for us to dip but that isn't the traditional way to eat it. The other time I came I got the stone-pot bibimbap and I am literally drooling right now thinking about. They do have lunch special pricing, which is just $1-2 off but the food and portions are great. Service: The food comes out fast. I asked if they could rush some stuff since I was on a lunch break and needed to get back ASAP. They did it! I will say that the friendliness of the hostess isn't always the best - they just don't seem inviting but everything else is great.

We returned to try the Korean fare and it didn't disappoint! We started with a veggi Pajun scallion pancake which was an absolutely tasty delight - so much so that I only remembered to photograph it when we were halfway through. My Japchae was beyond addictive! Chewy glass noodles in a wonderfully smoky sauce with veggies and tender, equally smoky shaved ribeye. My husband ordered the Shrimp Yaki Udon. Delicious, but if you're used to the smoky Japanese or Chinese version you'll be surprised. This is in a tomato type sauce. Still quite tasty! Our meals were accompanied with three little pickle dishes of spicy kimchi, bean sprouts, and pickled diakon. A perfect pairing for the wonderful noodle dishes we ordered. I wish we lived in the area as we'd be here often to try their other amazing sounding dishes. This is my introduction to Korean cuisine and I have to say I'm addicted!

We arrived on a Wednesday night to be greeted by a fairly empty restaurant. We were seated immediately and our waiter was attentive from the outset. We ordered a sushi appetizer with bibimbap and squid, names with picture below! All were delicious and would definitely order again. Also of note: Wednesdays are Lunch Special all day, which was a great deal! All around a great experience, and will definitely return.
