I ordered the sweet and spicy chicken rice bowl with the crab ragoon (comes with sweet and spicy sauce). It was so delicious, so flavorful, and so filling.

Food is fantastic. However the lady taking the orders could use some work. Instead of being on your phone maybe great the customer and learn how to ask questions, like: Is this for here or to go instead of saying, Well you didn't tell me it was to go or I assume you wanted this instead of asking. If bare minimum was a requirement I can see why she got the job. However the lady that brought my food out was wonderful.

Food definitely didn’t disappoint! Of course I had to get tacos from the taco shack and BY FAR the roasted sweet potato taco was the best! They sweet potatoes had great flavor and cooked perfectly! Unfortunately they were out of sweet and spicy pork so I got the chicken instead and while very good there was absolutely NO SPICE! It was all sweet but I wasn’t mad at it just want better next time. The rice bowl was nice…pretty much pick the protein and tell them how you want it. The kimchi was a bit of an after thought. Feel like they need to do a bit better with that. Also, had the dessert chips and they were delicious! Tastes like they use more of a pita like chip because they were sooo addicting!

My husband and I ate here one weekend while visiting St Louis. The next weekend my daughter and i drove 2.5 hours back to St Louis so we could eat here again. We spent the night in the city and stopped back by Kalbi for 2 more burritos before making the 2.5 hour drive back home. Yep, its that good!! I've ate multiple things here but the burrito stands out as the best to me. I love the sweet and spicy chicken burrito. The owners are so friendly too. They were tickled when I told them how fast we had drove to eat there. We highly recommend you try them. Asian meets mexican... so good!!!

Best for in foundry. People are loving and nice like family and know how to feed my heart. When I come to Kalbi s I get a great experience every time. The employees are nice and very helpful and make sure that my allergies get taken care of. Make sure that there's nothing in my food. I would not want to eat or could not eat. Overall, I think this is a very humble and nice and generous place and I will be visiting again and I love this experience that I have and most definitely will be back.

I love Kalbi Taco Shack! Their Korean BBQ inspired take on classic Mexican dishes like burritos and tacos makes for a highly enjoyable fusion. The menu is incredibly flexible, so you should be able to find some combination of flavors that fit your palate. Their service is great and they get food out to you quickly even during high traffic days. If you like jack fruit, you need to try their jack fruit tacos!

Absolutely DELICIOUS! My first time eating here and I loved it! I got the rice bowl with sweet and spicy chicken amazing, I don’t feel overly stuffed it was just right. And the chips and homemade salsa is to die for! 10 stars! I highly recommend this place! Very nice and friendly people!

Sarah Hernandez

Had the sweet potato and sweet and spicy pork. Both were very good, I'd probably just do sweet potato but they only sell them in sets of 2. I paid $26 for 3 tacos and a 16oz boba tea, plus tip. I feel like that's pretty pricy for just one meal, but it was definitely tasty.

Food was a little on the pricey side, however, it was so tasty. My bf is very picky so I knew it was worth it being that he liked it . The beef tacos was great. You get two of them they were $16. Would highly advise going a little earlier as they do run out of food due to it being worth the cost.

I visited a friend in STL from Chicago, and I dream of this place. I've tried to schedule to visit my friend so that i have a better reason to take a six hour trip other than "I wanted Kalbi Taco Shack." Worth the drive, especially if it's less than 6 hours 😉

We are in town for an extended weekend. We had just spent the morning at the Science Center and then made a quick trip through IKEA. I had researched a good place to eat in the area and found Kalbi. Since we aren't local I struggled to find it but we eventually did. My daughter who was overwhelmed by the atmosphere wanted just meat and rice. She said it was really yummy. My son got a chicken taco and loves it. I got one of the Rice bowls. It was exactly what I was hoping for. I did add some of the sauce and a side of kimchi that made it only better (and spicier). If we lived local, this would be a place to come back to.

I love Kalbi Taco Shack so much that I almost always find myself ordering from there whenever I'm at the City Foundry. I really like their take on Asian fusion food and they've done an exception job with the marinades they use for their various meat fillings. My go to is their tofu burrito.

As someone who can be very picky, because I wasn’t raised on a very diverse food palate, I’m always nervous to try new things.
