I had no idea what to expect but the fries with spicy pork were delicious! The fries were 18 with the pork so it felt a little pricey at first but when I got the fries I realized the portions are HUGE. I had plenty of leftovers and will be thinking of these fries for a few days

Small place, great food and wonderful staff. They made a mistake on one of my orders and before I could get my food they had already fixed the mistake with no hassle.

I live Downtown so I visit the Bulkogi at the Can Opener often and it does not disappoint! I got the rice bowl with chicken and it’s delicious as usual and enough! Thanks to Larry who helped me during this visit. Great attitude and customer service!

Came to the Boxyard RTP for the first time and this was the most appealing option in my opinion. They have iPad order station then you can pick up the order at the counter. Tap to pay available. I ordered the rice bowl with spicy chicken. I also tried the spicy aloe and the Jay sauce. Both were amazing . The bowl was generous and had plenty of chicken, rice and veggies in each spoonful. The sauces added a nice kick to the meal as well. The staff was amazing and the seating is plentiful inside and out. Outside seating also has the heaters so if the weather is a bit chilly, you can still stay warm. Highly recommend this establishment.

This place is out of this world, I made my own bowl with spicy beef and the portion size is great for the price. Flavor going crazy with this place highly recommended.

Love this place for some rapid fast and dank Korean BBQ bowls. Kinda like chipotle with the style of service/food presentation but double the quantity and double the speed of getting the food to you. Was some super dank stuff, a little more pricey than a typical chipotle chicken bowl though. Nicely cooked and delicious kimchi. This place definitely hit the spot, but if you’re looking for spicy, even the spiciest items here are tolerable to a non-spicy tolerant person. Should definitely amp up the spice level on the spice dishes.

great place to order from! their portion sizes are always so generous that the bowls last two meals for me. and for the price it always feels like a steal. i definitely recommend to anyone in the area if you arent sure what to grab for lunch. sometimes i do miss out on toppings such as green onions, but nevertheless my meal is always very delicious
