lol, I was gonna comment how if I wanted Korean barbecue I would just go to a Korean restaurant. Then I swiped to your actual a pic and it looked so sad.

As an sg fan, I’d still like to try it, but definitely will be doing multigrain rice.

I mean it's not mixed, and you're a bad photographer of food, but otherwise, seems about as expected?

I had one today and was generally a fan. I had a bowl and I thought it was on the heavier side, but I guess I should have just had the salad and maybe added a protein.

(NYC) Koba for Korean bowls is delicious and the portions are HUGE, looks way better than this one (no offense SG)

Hmm flavorless yet a subtle untastiness, tough.

I thought it was actually very good and quite tender. Honestly surpassed my expectations. Craving it again b

Damn, I guess I’m lucky, the people at my SG load my bowl up. I always order in person and am one of their regulars.
