Kitok Restaurant

Hole in the wall, local. That's what we always look for & found here. The kimche is amazing. The beef & pork bulgolgi is so, so good. I'm glad I opted for full sized. I wasn't as impressed with the oriental fries as everyone raved...but they were good dipped in the soy sauce provided. It comes with a mayo? based dressing salad & a chicken soup appetizer. If we return to Waco, we will be back.

My husband and daughter have been talking about this place for 30 years and I finally got to go. A wonderfully small Korean restaurant that also has hamburgers and other sandwiches as well. The parking lot is dirt and gravel. The exterior of the building could use a little attention. There is a small garden in front of the restaurant beside the road that needs some help. You walk in to see directly into the kitchen, feeling the heat and watching the magic coming to life. There are only what may be 15 or twenty small tables in the place, and they are all kept clean. Then you are introduced to the menu. There aren't six or more pages of options, but maybe, three. Three delightful pages of real food. This place is a secret that really isn't a secret to the locals. I hope it stays that way. I love everything about it, just the way it is, just the way it has been for decades.

I was recently visiting wake up with my wife, and I had not eaten at this place in literally 30 years. But I thought often of their food, remembering how great the burgers were, and the oriental fries which were super thin cut onion and other veggies fried up into A french fry like pile. It was everything I remembered. The food is great the pricing is good staff is friendly and the place was filled with regulars that the staff all knew by name. I will be going back.

The food was delicious and the portions were large enough for 2 people to share. The service was a little lacking. My wife’s food did not arrive until I was done with my food, might have been the cooks fault, or they might have dropped it in the kitchen. The oriental fries were delicious potato strings with broccoli and onions fried up. I would try this place again.
