KZ Mori (San Diego Hmart) – Delicious Korean Comfort Food in Vista Balboa Center

I always go straight to the korean hotdog spot but passed the is and wanted to try it. The food looks so good. I like that it is a food court style so you can try the different dishes from various stalls. Iordered the small chicken with cabbage and it was not small it was pretty decent sized.

My family and I enjoy eating there, but it's located a bit too far from National City. It would be convenient to have a branch in the Plaza Bonita mall food court.

When I went to buy groceries at Hmart Balboa, I was hungry, so I tried the combo pork katsu with udon and extra rice. It was so heavy and good. That’s why I prefer getting it to go, I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it. I didn’t even finish my plate, but it was worth it! It’s a good place to sit and eat, and the server was nice and approachable. To be honest, I wish they would use less seasoning for the udon, it was too salty. But the katsu and salad were delicious!

I ordered curry chicken. It includes big portion of chicken cutlet, curry sauce, miso soup, rice, and cabbage salad. It is quite filling.

I quite enjoy their udon and miso soup here. The miso soup is served extra hot and delicious and a small serving will fill you up quickly. However, if you do have room for more, their large miso soup is worth getting. The udon comes with fishcake, and crab meat, a delicious addition to the hot and comforting soup. The noodles are thick and chewy and the broth is clean. A bowl of udon here will definitely fill you up.

We completed our shopping at H Mart and wanted food. I specifically wanted udon and KZ Mori was the only stall that had udon. The bowl was reasonable at $10.99, you could also make it a combo meal to add chicken katsu. I got just the udon bowl and got the Mixed Katsu Combo for $19.99 that came with pork and chicken curry as well as salad and soup. The udon satisfied my craving with the right amount of protein. It wasn’t crazy beef, it was more fish based. It was a light meal. The katsu combo was delicious. I loved the strong curry aroma and the flavor was bold. We asked for more spice afterwards and they added an additional level. My fiancé liked the chicken and I liked the pork. Both were juicy, thin and crispy. I wished they swapped the portion size and gave more rice than salad. Service was quick. We were given a beeper and seated ourselves. The food hall was getting crowded. We sat at the edge of a 6 seat person table. A fella asked to share table and he sat at the end. Afterwards, we brought the tray to the counter.
