" Last week, I had the spicy pork rice bowl. It was okay, but I expected a little more spice and flavor. Maybe it was a bad day for the chef! I'll likely give it another shot because my friends rave about the place. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here can be a bit hit or miss, but their choice of proteins allows for customization. My go-to is the spicy chicken burrito, but I also love their tofu option. Service can vary too; I once had a long wait with no explanation. However, I appreciate their effort when they do give you quick service. " (*Curated Review*)

" The spicy pork burrito was surprisingly good! I enjoyed how the flavors melded together beautifully. The side of kimchi had a nice crunch to it. There’s something about the customer service here that makes me feel welcome every time. Definitely coming back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best part about trying Korean Twist was the friendly staff who made me feel welcome! The potstickers were a great starter, and I can't rave enough about the spicy pork taco. The flavors were intense, and it carried just the right amount of heat for my taste buds. I’ll be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me just say, the potstickers are a must-try! They are crispy and served with a soy sauce that complements the flavor perfectly. I had the spicy pork burrito after and it was the highlight of my meal. This place is well-deserving of its high recommendations from locals! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Korean Twist after hearing great things, and I wasn't disappointed! The spicy chicken burrito was delicious and had just enough heat. The staff was very helpful in guiding me through the menu options. The only downside was that parking can be tricky at this location. " (*Curated Review*)

" Korean Twist is quickly becoming a main attraction when I visit Hawthorne Asylum! Their dishes have a unique flair that really captures Korean flavors well. I’ve tried their spicy chicken and enjoyed the generous portions as well. The staff were friendly and quick, overall a solid choice. " (*Curated Review*)
