Hello, Mikey. This is Peter, the owner of KOOKSOO. It was such a pleasure to get a opportunity to serve you with our Beef Kooksoo, Stir-fried beef with noodles, King Ribs Jjamppong, and Galbi. As our head server, Lyn said, I was very impressed to see you have completely "finished" all three dishes and your knowledge on bronze utensils we are using. And, if it is ok, I like to utilize the information on this video on our side so that more people would know who you are and what you are going to upload. So, please let me know if there's any limitations I should be aware of. In near future, I hope I can get one more chance to see you in person and talk about how Kooksoo got started and about Korean noodles 🍜. God bless you. 😃

Are you me? This is exactly what I told my girlfriend. We lived in Austin while attending UT and was planning to make a day trip to Houston to try Mike's kbbq place when he announced it back in 2019 I think. Now we moved to Houston for work and live near the HEB near Mike's restaurant 😆 I'm hoping it could be one of our go to spots in the area (I usually just go to Local Foods but I need to expand my horizons) since I adore Mike and want to support him. I already told my girlfriend's parents that we'll take them here too since they never had kbbq before.

Please keep in mind during your restaurant endeavors that the to-go boxes make a huge difference in soggy or not soggy. That foam box can make fresh hot crispy fries into the soggiest grossest fries ever by making the environment inside the container a super sauna. Try there again but sit in instead of taking out. Packaging always makes a difference with food. Stay away from styrofoam boxes.
