We first visited on August 3, 2025 for a to-go order. We are vegan, so we ordered the mushroom bulgogi burrito, mushroom bulgogi hummus, cauliflower zucchini sandwich, battered fries, our and vegan black ice cream. The burrito was great- very well seasoned even with the sauce on the side. One downside is that the herbs come out. Wow delicious, we're not throughout the burrito so we didn't get it in each bite. The sandwich was just okay- it seemed pretty bland and needed the sauce, which we had on the side. Without the sauce, it didn't have as much flavor as it should. It needed more spice ex, too. The battered fries were good. The hummus was terrific- it wasn't something we were accustomed to as it's usually a side or appetizer, but this was all meal. We loved the sweet and spicy flavor of it and we hope that flavor profile is the norm. Texturally, the hummus was a bit too airy and almost baby food like for me. I prefer hummus with a bit more body- increasing the amount of olive oil and tahini usually adds body to hummus. I found the pita to be too spongy and probably should have been served warm; however, it was good and I knew I would order it again. The ice cream was fantastic! Not sickly sweet. Like some vegan dessert treats are- it was perfect and delicious. My second trip was today, August 7, 2025. This time, I ordered battered fries, crispy tofu bowl, chips and guacamole, mushroom bulgogi hummus, My son, who is not vegan, ordered beef kofta Burger and side of barbecue beef. My son said his meal was excellent, he would 100% return and he will tell everyone else to go back. He said everything was well seasoned and he found the smokiness of the burger "unbelievable." For me, the guacamole was fantastic- the flavoring was new to me, but it was terrific and I will order it again and again. The crispy tofu bowl was also very very good- I would have preferred that it were spicier, but I enjoyed it and would order it again. Today, the hummus wasn't great and, if it had tasted like today's version when I initially ordered, I would have never ordered it again. It was not spicy at all- it was quite flat and bland. I was surprised considering how great it was a couple days earlier. I packed it up and brought it home and mixed together gochuchang, soy, Sriracha, and a few other spices to give it a boost. I hope they can get some consistency going with the flavor profile and, if customers have an issue with a spicier version, give us the option of choosing plain, spicy, or extra spicy. The the vegan ice cream cake and brought it home. Service was excellent at the kitchen and milk jam. The ice cream cake was worth every penny; not only was it beautiful, but it was also delicious.

We came here unintentionally because we were getting ice cream at MilkJam next door. The unique menu is what intrigued us. The menu items are an actual blend of different cuisines. We got the Korean “BBQ” Beef Short Ribs Hummus Bowl and the Deluxe Chicken Shawarma Sandwich. I would’ve never thought that kimchi and hummus could go so well together. It felt like a Ratatouille moment when Remi discovered the joy of eating fruit and cheese together. We sat in about 15 minutes of pure silence just devouring everything. We plan to come back and try some of their other menu items. The only downside is that the area can get quite congested on the weekend and parking isn’t always the easiest to find. But it’s great because you can get a delicious dinner and then go next door to get ice cream that comes in some very unique flavors.

Wh had the beef shawarma tacos and the chicken biscuit sandwich, which were both very good. The taco meat was tender and well seasoned. The chicken sandwich had great flavor. However, the food is a bit over priced for an a la carte menu. For example the $15 sandwich did not come with a side, and there was only 2 tacos for $12.

I don’t usually write reviews, but the Mexican steak burger here is definitely ONE OF THE BEST BURGERS I HAVE EVER HAD and this is not an exaggeration! The bun was perfectly soft yet crispy and buttery. The steak paired with grilled onions, avocado, a fried egg, cheese, and the adobo sauce was to DIE FOR. I will definitely be coming back! The Korean burrito was all right, but I will give 5 stars because the burger was amazing!

I mentioned to my wife that I wanted authentic Korean BBQ and she found this place. I had the short rib lettuce wraps, she had the falafel burger and my sone had the Korean Short Rib Bowl. Overall I would say the food was good, but I am still in search of authentic Korean BBQ. Not to say this wasn’t authentic, but it was more of a fusion between Korean and middle eastern.

Pretty tasty but small portions. I got the mushroom lettuce wrap and my husband got the BBQ beef rice bowl. The eggs are made ahead of time and are poached. We got it on the side! The mushrooms were really good and fit well into my calorie deficit for the day. I like that the process include good wages for the staff and tipping isn't expected. You order on a tablet and get your own water. The staff bring the food to your table. Right next door to an ice cream shop!

I can't rave enough about the delicious food at world Street kitchen. I found a few favorites like the OG chicken bowl and the brussel sprouts. The red curry burrito, Korean BBQ bowl, lemongrass meatballs... Many delicious items. Too many choices for a terrific meal. Order on your phone or add an iPad. Take a number and your seat, and they will deliver the food to you. The place is a little too fast casual to be completely cozy, but the lighting is cool and the atmosphere is very vibrant.

Definitely my go-to restaurant, delicious fusion I highly recommend the beef or chicken burrito in a bowl. Probably the number one place to order from but going there isn’t amazing as they lack a good atmosphere. The ice cream that you order is delicious and super creative next door, w hi icy you order with the meal. I would highly recommend ordering from here!!

Super flavorful food! Lots of vegetarian and vegan options but also great meat options. The Korean beef rice bowl was tasty and filling. The mushroom hummus bowl was super creamy and filling. My favortie thing was probably the Brussel sprouts, they were packed with flavor from the savory fishsauce and nice and crispy. This place is definitely a come back again!

One our family’s favorite restaurants. Has a great vegan/vegetarian option for each meaty option. They often add new menu items which we love to try. Great flavors that we can’t quite capture at home. Service is fast and friendly. Booths and tables available. They share bathrooms with the other businesses in the building which requires exiting the restaurant and using a door code which is not ideal for young children.
