Bann / Next Door

After reading about this place from MidtownLunch I went for take out. As we all know lunch hour is just that, an hour so I was in a rush. The food came out really quickly (all within 5 min) and I have to say it is well worth going back for. The chicken is just spicy enough, the daikon is chilled & refreshing, ribs (yummmm) were fall off the bone (literally, i picked it up and it started falling off) and finger licking good. If you are lucky you can get an outdoor table which looks like a cute little bistro with the flower pots. All in all, great food, fast service and right what midtown needs for lunch, a great take out korean place besides bi bim bap.

I called in to order at 9:30 and the staff on the phone was very polite, however when i tried to order the Grill chicken meal ( $7.95) both staff and manager has no clue about this menu and offer me another dish that cost $24 so I have to read the entire menu for them to describe what i want. At the end they found it and put in the order for me, I also ordered the beef from the Grill Menu as well! I was starving for an hour and finally the delivery guy arrived, the chicken has no favor nor color, no one will consider it is a grill chicken, it was very dry even my dog doesnt like it. However the beef was much better but it was cooked with onion, more like stir fry beef with terriyaki sause, at least the rice and salad that come with it was moisted and good. Good polite staff and price is cheap for this area but fhe food i will say it is below average ( the chicken was bad, i wonder if it is left over chicken that was reheated and dumped into my order since it was super dry and maybe somewhere the cook forgot to put sause or seasoning) I probably will never order delivery from this place again, 1 hour wait for a restaurant that is 7 blocks away from my apt is not acceptable!
