Loved the burgers. Bugogi is so tasty. The oriental fries were so good. We have not tried anything else but will try the bugogi dish next time. I have yet to hear a bad word about this place. Friendly staff. Small area but not crowded. Thank u.
I had chicken bulgogi and it was delicious. They have been around since the 70's so they're obviously doing a lot right! You can get traditional Korean cuisine or American food also. One customer raved about their cheeseburger, which was huge and tasty looking as well as the heapin helpin of fries. You cant go wrong!
This afternoon drove over an hour from Austin just to try out 50+ year old Kitok and it didn’t disappoint. From the fabulous food to the old-school ambiance to the family-style hospitality, this place is a true gem (besides Magnolia Market?) in Waco. A little too tired to go into detail about each food item ordered, but I can say with confidence there’s a reason why the place keeps busy with locals and foodies like me who don’t mind traveling for comfort food without breaking the bank. Liplock Burger ($10): moist, well-seasoned double patty with cheese, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles on a toasted yet pillowy bun. Good stuff. Oriental fries ($7): a play on a traditional Korean side snack called yachae twigim (aka vegetable tempura) but geniusly adapted into matchstick fries along with slivers of onions and carrots. Absolute must-order and appears to be their signature item. Half beef bulgogi / half chicken bulgogi ($17): at first glance, due to its thin cut, expected the meat to be dry and leathery but not so at all. Quite flavorful, moist, and a very nice one-two combo with the delicious fried rice that’s black pepper heavy (a very good thing!) Soup and salad: creamy potato soup with shredded chicken and a side of fresh, crisp salad. Not sure if this came with the bulgogi or burger set, but the two additions were a nice touch to an already complete meal. In short, you leave the place feeling full, happy, and warm-hearted because there are few places like this that feed the community as though they’re family. Very cool to find staff - especially the owner herself - and customers just calling each other by their first names throughout my dining experience today!
