"I was looking foward to giving this place a try because im from Memphis and I love BBQ and Korean flavors. The main reason I 'm giving 2 stars because it the food gave both my boyfriend and I stomachache throughout the night and the next following day. My stomach was a little better than his but he was woken up at 5am bad stomach pains. I 'm sure it was the chicken that left us in pain because my bf ordered fried chicken with greens and corn bread and 2 orders of wings to share. While I ordered each the bao buns excluding the jackfruit with coleslaw and greens. Since I did not eat much of the chicken, I did not feel as bad as he did.I am giving 2 stars is because the I was mostly content with my order. I like the flavor of the bao buns but there was no distinct flavor between each one. I could not tell the difference between them flavor wise, which was a bit dissapointing. I enjoyed the coleslaw, it was a standard coleslaw with a very slight Korean spin. The flavor of the collar greens were okay but over salted. I can say it was a good portion size for both the greens and slaw. I also really enjoyed the corn bread. Now to the fried chicken. It did not look that great when we opened it. The portion was smaller than other restaurants, it was dry, the taste was very bland and way overpriced for fried chicken. The wings was ordered with the Elvis sauce was not to our liking. It tasted very processed in a way. We could not finish even 1 order of it and unfortunately to throw it out. Maybe it would be better in a different flavor.Overall we spent $70 or so. Which was really expensive for something that made us both sick and tasted 'okay '. I understand there is inflation due to Covid and I usually don 't mind paying higher prices to support small business but this was not worth it. The ingredients just didn 't all taste too fresh. I really hope this place improves bc I love the idea they have. Give it a try, just don 't order the chicken."
