" I’m a huge fan of Korean BBQ, and tried the bulgogi bowl here. The taste was on point and it was full of different textures and flavors. However, I felt that the price was slightly high for the portion size. The atmosphere was pleasant, which made for a great dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Marinate is an interesting place with a trendy fusion of Korean and American flavors. The burrito concept is unique, but the taste can be hit or miss -- mine was just alright. The service was good, but I felt the pricing was a bit on the higher side. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Marinate Korean BBQ and I was blown away by their bulgogi burrito. It was packed with flavor, and the addition of kimchi elevated the taste even further! The service was fast and very friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. I can't wait until my next visit to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Marinate has quickly become my new favorite lunch spot! Their build-your-own bowls are fresh and flavorful, and I especially love their spicy pork belly option. However, one time I had to wait a bit longer than usual for my order because they were busy, but the staff was apologetic and friendly. The prices are reasonable for the portion sizes too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! The ambiance is casual and vibrant. My favorite is the spicy chicken bowl, which is always cooked to perfection. Portions are really hefty for the price. My only complaint would be the service during peak hours; they could use a few more staff to manage the rush! " (*Curated Review*)
