What nwaynesworld likes about Backoos Korean Togo Food Ltd:
BK is located in a newly renovated building in Downtown Halifax. The take out food we had was very good. The food is spicy, but not too spicy. The prices seem reasonable. View all feedback. What Arctic Pedro doesn't like about Backoos Korean Togo Food Ltd:
I went to Backoos after seeing online reviews that said their chicken dish was a must have. This was a lunchtime visit. The restaurant wasn’t busy, service was fast and polite, and I got my meal in good time. While the flavour was great, I found it didn’t live up to the hype at all. The chicken pieces were very small, hard, dry, and chewy, almost to the point of being hard to eat. It was tasty though, so I did eat it... View all feedback.

Food is delicious, staff is always friendly, and if you need a quick cafecito or soup just go to the window and service is fast.

This particular Sergio's location (Coral Gables) excels in consistency! Consistently good food and consistently poor service! _Have been here many

Best takeout in Halifax. Get the Dak Jang Jung — you won't be disappointed. The spicy and sweet sauce is next level.

Good food. Around 20$ for a decent meal, tax included. Great location. Only a few tables for dine in. Staff/customer service could be improved, though.

Food was unfortunately not as good as it looked on the website. Dishes were very oily and beef tasted strangely sour.Food: 2/5
