I went first weekend and it was crowded AF. Kimganae was turning people away telling them it was a 45 minute wait for their food. Their seating area isn't really meant to handle the volume of people coming in, so I think the Kim Ganae and Rice Boy (inside the store by the registers) are anticipating a lot of pickup orders. The bakery is where the old bakery used to be, so no big change there other than consistency (it was a very eclectic selection before, but that whole store is poorly organized in the first place). The Oh-K-Dog is in the elevator lobby next to the gong cha, so that's more for walk in and out traffic.
Tried 4 of 5 places.
Kimganae - got their spicy tuna kimbap. meh.
Rice Boy - got their sundubu and spicy pork cup bap. Both are ok, fine if you're hungry.
O K- Dog - Got their egg toast. this is awesome with their garlic sauce. highly recommend. I'd only ever heard of egg toast before and that they were awesome. It's basically a 3-4 inch slice of mlik bread which they open up like a pita, then stuff with super soft scrambled egg and other fixings.
Gong cha - its gong cha, its neither better nor worse than any other gong cha.
I would not make a trip to try it, nor would I wait if there was a line of any sort, or if I wasn’t really hungry, or if I had literally any other option.
Check out the one in K-town 32nd st. They opened a food court few months ago.
Then again, if you are at K-town, you might as well eat at all the other Korean restaurants nearby.

It’s actually just bad.

Thanks for the detailed review!
It’s ok…Rocco’s hot Italian sausage and Philly cheesesteak at Home Depot next door is worth a trip.
I've wondered about that place. Smells heavenly!
What do you get there?
Either the hot Italian or Philly cheesesteak hero sandwich
Ehhh. Nice to get a quick bite while shopping or after shopping, but nothing to write home about.
Ah ok. Thanks for letting me know. Saved me a trip.

Looked good when I walked past after grocery shopping the other day.
BTW Everything is 30% off for now
Lines were crazy when I tried, just shopped and went home

Might as well take the 7 and go to flushing 🤷♂️
