15 years later, the Bulgogi Burrito is still our #1 seller 🌯🔥

When Adam Richman asked if it was still our top-selling item, David Choi explained why:

“It’s the simplicity of it.”

Bulgogi steak, kimchi fried rice, carrots, Seoul Sauce, and jack cheddar cheese.

Then Adam takes a bite and sums it up perfectly:

“You’re realizing the layers of flavor to create that umami.”

Still our #1. Still delivering.
