The food the is great but the location was confusing. It's a truck outside of a bar hall. You order your food and someone brings it in from the truck. The menu is also very limited compared to what's on line. Once you get past the logistics the food comes out in a cardboard to go truck containers with absolute goodness inside! The meat is sweetish over flavorful fried rice(you can also get plain rice) stir fried vegetables with an added egg. Very tasty!!

Ambiance and service is 100/10. I got the banana cream matcha. So good! I came here to study for a couple hours. The parking lot was packed but there was a lot of seating inside since the place is so big. Indoor and outdoor seating (:

Was here for a large catered event and enjoyed the food! The spicy pork quesadilla with aioli and japchae were very tasty. Lots of drink options as well. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available.

TL;DR: Namu KBBQ Tacos sent me directly to god (in a good way) I went there today after not having gone for a while, and what I noticed in between the utter, soul consuming bliss of demolishing a plate of their tacos, was that it seemed like both the overall portion size was larger than in the past, and that more of that portion was meat. As for the food itself, both the meat, veggies, and sauces comprising my tacos were just as good, if not better than I remember. I also had a chocolate chip cookie and a glass of milk before my tacos arrived and those were pretty good too. I think they get their bakery items from a few different local bakeries. Also their cafe space is really comfy. I have always loved both their indoor and outdoor eating areas. And since Yelp seems to want me to mention it, the customer service was great too. Prompt and friendly! I don't have much to say on that front, I was mostly focused on my food.

YUMMY on steroids! The food was amazingly flavorful. We decided to go with the rice bowls with noodles (Bo's special) and the beef was so tender and delicious 10 out of 10 meal and let's talk about the ambience of the place felt peaceful but also community friendly. Really made it feel like eating was an experience rather than a convenience. We were able to sit outside that day because the weather was gorgeous. Free parking was broadly available. And shoutout to every member of staff I met, everyone was so kind!

Name is a beautiful sensory experience. From the time you walk in until the time you leave, you are taken away from Durham and into a tranquil garden of so many colors, scents, and tastes. I did not want to leave as it was absolutely amazing to experience! My coworkers and I met for a birthday and made a reservation. We had some difficulty finding the table, but the staff were very nice and helped us. We sat outside under an awning and ordered via a QR code on the table. Next to the QR code was a red flag that we could put up if we needed assistance. I decided to order the beef gimbap, which was delicious! I like that the roll came stuffed with the beef, carrots, and onions. I paired it with their mix of sauces. My favorite was their spicy aioli and house sauce. I got to try the shrimp gimbap, which was also delicious. The food did take a while to come out, but the servers were nice and let us know that there was a backup. It was worth the wait! I would love to come back and try one of their rice bowls as well as their kombucha that is on tap. The atmosphere alone would bring me back.
