"I requested no white sauce (maybe mayo?) on top, and they didn’t forget—really appreciate that! The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the seasoning was well-balanced. The portion was generous, making it a great deal for the price. "
"Kong is one of the best places you can get not only korean food but food in general in Baltimore; you can't go wrong with any dish here but here are some reviews of specific dishes: - Corn Cheese comes packaged to heat up so it is fully fresh when you eat it; it was super creamy, cheesey, and fresh without being too heavy and overfilling. You can taste all of the ingredients including the corn is super fresh - Kimchi Bbokkumbap great compliment dish; umami flavor is well balanced through out. Not at all super spicy if you are worried about that -Sweet & Spicy Chicken Cup-Bap maybe the best cup-bap flavor they offer; made with fresh cut chilis that makes a perfect balance between sweet and spicy without being too much of either. It is a light sauce that gives perfect flavor without having to be doused at all -Also got they curry chicken cup-bap that again has great flavor without at all being super heavy on top of the chicken. Even with the curry chicken still tastes crispy and fresh"

"The first bite of the wings made everything else around me disappear. They were perfectly crispy on the outside, unbelievably juicy on the inside, and coated in a sauce that had the perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and spicy flavors. Every bite somehow tasted even better than the last, making it impossible to stop eating. Then there was the rice—not just a side dish, but the perfect partner to the wings. It soaked up every drop of flavor, staying light, fluffy, and packed with savory goodness that tied the whole meal together. By the time the plate was empty, I was already wishing there was another one waiting for me. It wasn’t just a good meal—it was the kind of food that stays on your mind long after you’ve finished eating."
"We need a middle between thumbs up and down here. The boa buns were fabulous. However I did not enjoy the classic fried chicken. The flavor of the coating on the drumsticks was terrible. I will say the drumsticks were huge so that was a good value. I'll get the back buns again and try some other stuff so I am not writing them off. I just did not enjoy this experience."

"It was my first time trying this place and as a Thai food lover, this will not be my last time ordering from them. The portions were great for the price and you can taste the quality of the ingredients as well as the love put into each dish. My mom LOVED her drunken noodles and is still talking about it 24 hours later. My friend ordered the chive Triangle Chive Cake (6) + Thai Fish Cake (6) + Spring Roll + Basil Fried Rice + Pad Thai $12 Meals and she really enjoyed all of what she ordered. I had the Pad Thai $12 Mealsans the Mono Lomien Noodle $12 Meals + Spring Roll + Gyoza and have not one complaint or note re the taste! We ordered via DoorDash and the restaurant as well as the door dasher graciously and expeditiously corrected the issue. I will be a frequent purchaser!!! Only suggestion re packaging is to write in permanent marker on the lid what things are because it's easy to mix up who got what on large orders."
"The Mango Sticky Rice was really good; my first time every trying that dessert and I realized it was something I used to make as a child a lot. The Pad Thai $12 Meals was okay. It wasn't anything spectacular but it was good. I think I expected a bit more flavor. But it was really fresh and a good portion. I would order again."

"The food was ok. I give it a 3/5 stars because there was too much onion in the fried rice and not enough sauce for the Chicken w. Broccoli Combo Platter(C 芥鸡) They should make a vegetable egg roll because the spring roll is pretty small considering you get the bigger size if you get a different filling. But overall the taste is decent and you get a good amount for your money."
"The Jumbo Shrimp Egg Foo Young was extremely good, the shrimp were literally jumbo, one could almost complain they were too dam big. The Shrimp Fried Rice 虾饭 was not good at all, I tried to add a little soy sauce but it was definitely missing some type of flavor to me and the rice was gritty. I will most certainly order the Jumbo Shrimp Egg Foo Young again. "

"Bowl was full just wish it was a way to exclude the whole raw onion and coleslaw. The Jollof is not the least bit spicy lol I guess I should've got the pepper sauce instead of the stew. Overall not bad for only $12. Not sure if I will order again...not because it was bad just wasn't what the hype said. The pic is after I scooped out the slaw and raw onions which I truly don't understand lol"

"The Penang Curry with Jasmine Rice (Chicken) ($12 Meal Box) was good but a bit watery. I got the medium spice and it was pretty spot on. It came with a 16oz of rice. It was pretty filling and the flavor was good. The “Lao Spiced Sausage ($12 MEAL DEAL BOX) had spices and herbs embedded in the sausage which gave it a great, unique flavor. It came with about a cup of rice and a few cucumbers."
"Ordered today for the first time. Got the Chicken Laap with Sticky Rice and Tom Yum Goong. Both were astounding- especially if you like your food on the spicy side. Will definitely be ordering again!! The portions filled me up - I'm a big eater- and the ingredients- vibrant and fresh greens and the ingredients really popped when I bit into the chicken."

"So good it made me cry. I'll only order my CALI-CALI Burrito from here. The Horchata was fantastic and not over spiced. Jamaica was good and not too bitter or too sweet. Chips N Roasted Salsa an Queso Dip N Chips were awesome. Deff ordering again. 10 stars. "
"Food came fairly quickly for a Superbowl Sunday, but it was bland. I got the Cali-Cali Burrito and the fries were completely unseasoned, steak was a bit better but overcooked, almost no guac. Mostly stuffed with the plain fries. Chicken Quesadilla and side salsa also mediocre and fairly bland. best thing was the queso, but it was pretty standard, nothing special."

Gotta try the other options! "
