The cart is now @ SE Division & 32nd Avenue. When I lived in California, I had access to a Korean neighborhood with authentic Korean restaurants and delis so I became somewhat familiar with Korean sauces, flavors, and cooking. Amazingly, the delicious taste of real Korean food comes through at Koi Fusion even if it is mixed in with the Mexican taco presentation. KF's concept is IMHO a big improvement over the typical Mexican taco or burrito (no comparison). I will definitely go back to KF for more. *New location for Koi Fusion (Korean taste & Mexican look)* The Beef Bulgogi taco was delicious and so is their Kim Chee.

We tried out all of the tacos. The tofu one was light in flavor but very tasty. But the bulgogi, chicken, and pork tacos: excellent. I then ordered their K-Sliders, which are bulgogi sliders, listed on their website as Seoul Sliders. It's also a dollar more than what their website lists, but mmmmm... so ono. The spicy mayo was nice too, complimentary to the bulgogi without destroying the flavor. As we stood there eating, there was a Korean lady who was trying it out. She loved it, and decided to talk to whomever was cooking. Not sure if it was the owner, but she was speaking in Korean and said she liked the tenderness of the taco, but wanted it "more hot". She ordered another one and got it as hot as she wanted it. She left happy. I want to try their bulgogi beef burrito next time, but I think I'd be in a food coma. This would be okay, though. This was my first Korean taco adventure, with all the buzz coming from L.A., I was curious about it too. I've never tried those in L.A., btu I don't have to, I'm here in the Pacific Northwest.

The first guy mentioned stacking up to the og kogi but didn't really say how it compared. Tell me please?! When I first moved back I googled portland food carts and kogi and thats how i found out about koi in the first place. I was hoping there was an immitator, but then when I found it I was annoyed at the same time that they did EVERYTHING twitter updates, each single menu item, catering, everything, exactly the same. it says the owners name is bo... it's not the bo of the typhoon is it? Maybe they will impress me...I was hoping to find some run down family operated little cart who was inspired with the korean fusion success, not some rip-off cart trying to ride the coattails of someone elses business success. UNLESS they do in fact taste exactly the same. Well, then, it's so good I have to be fine with it. I just moved back to portland from LA and we lived on kogi down there.

I wanted to take a bunch of people from my office today but we have to drive from NW to PSU so we have to plan it carefully and at first they said 12:30, then later said 1:30 and finally around 12:15 said they would be there at 12:40. I know it sounds like I'm griping over nothing but we only have an hour for lunch its frustrating, especially because the food is so good.
