Cafe Agit

This Valentine’s Day evening we chose to dine at Café Agit for the first time as I was craving Korean style chicken and we wanted a low key evening. And it was great!
We chose from their menu the Korean style wings, padak chicken, fish cake pot and ddeokgochi (rice cake skewers). The fish cake pot was particularly delicious because the broth was very flavorful. Everything was delicious by my only critiques are: the Korean style wings had a little too much gochujang for my taste which made them peppery and the padak could have used more sauce.
In addition, our server was very sweet and attentive. And it was awesome that there was live music! The young lady playing guitar and singing was extremely talented and I would love to come back again when she’s playing.
It didn’t take me back to the streets of Seoul but it’s definitely worth the time!

I came with a group of friends for my birthday for a little drinking and food and this place did not disappoint. When the food says spicy it really means spicy but everything we ordered went so nicely with all of the drinks we ordered. When we showed up it was slow but more people showed up later into the night and the atmosphere was really cool. The staff was super friendly too and were always around when we needed to order more drinks or get more cups. I saw a karaōke machine that the music was playing from too but unfortunately no one was brave enough to use it. Maybe next time we’ll order more drinks.

Update! They do serve panchan now, and when we went they had 4 little side dishes. No kimchi which was odd, but they did have black bean, fish cake, shredded marinated seaweed, and small crispy fish. The fried chicken dish (Korean popcorn chicken) was awesome. It was perfectly crispy with tender chicken. I’ve had the Korean style sweet/​spicy sauce with chicken or on rice cake at other restaurants and this version is very similar. For me, as a note on the dish as a whole everywhere, I prefer a little more acid to balance out the sweetness, but that’s just me.
The bbq plates we’ve had have been tender, with a lot of savory and slightly sweet flavor. The bulgolgi and spicy pork were excellent. I also tried some udon which had a more delicate, seafood flavor with a heaping amount of veggies, some fishcake, and noodles.
The soju was well hidden within the pineapple flavor we ordered it with. You won’t know what hit you until you’ve had quite a few shots!
Service was great and we each got chopsticks with our meal this time. It’s still a great place to dine for dinner and late at night!

Decided to come here because of the delicious looking pictures and the 5 star rating. The restaurant was empty with 2 other couples. The space was clean, roomy, and the one waitress was very nice. We found the prices to be quite high.
With that being said, I decided to order the dumpling ramen. When my dish came, it turns out what appears to be TOP RAMEN! I was very upset paying $ 8 for this bowl.
My boyfriend ordered the kalbi rice bowl. The flavour was tasty, but super oily and salty. Moreover, the Korean style side dishes were just bizarre. 4 small cups (mini spicy shelled shrimp, fish patties, flavourless bean sprouts, and black beans?) This dish was a whopping $ 20.
Additionally, he spent an extra $ 2.50 for tea flavored water. They must have waved the tea bag over the pitcher.
Also, this restaurant is billed as a sports bar, but we were watching the local news instead of the NFL wildcard game.
Should of gone with our gut feeling of eating elsewhere since there are delicious Korean diners down the street.

Came here with two friends on a Wednesday night. It was around 6pm so we were the only ones there as Café Agit is more lively later in the evening.
The restaurant is clean and spacious. Somber korean love ballads play in the background. The furniture and walls are all black colored. It’s a good place to go with a group of up to four people. There’s a private seating area with a table that could seat up to ~10 people (with only a piece of cloth as a divider).
It was nice to enjoy our meal in quiet, but because it was so early in the evening, there was only one chef and one waiter working and the food took a while to come out.
When it did finally come out, the dishes were delicious. We ordered the «Podakk» (chicken pieces that are breaded and deep fried and covered in a savory sauce with chives on top), udon, and chicken katsu (comes with salad). Each were delicious, and the quantity was enough to more than satisfy three girls’ stomachs.
I would definitely come here again to try the chicken wings and other menu items.

Food is delicious over here! Love the atmosphere and the staff. Definitely will be coming here more often! I haven’t had such great Korean food in a while!

Delicious Korean food. Great find ! Ask for kimchi if you want some. Support Korean food!
I came across this restaurant by accident. Glad I checked it out.

Awesome service, cozy vibes and the best dumplings I’ve ever had, the wings are SO GOOD and they have Soju!

Fairly new with a number of menu changes. Good staff and food. Attractive and friendly. Have a beautiful TV rotating the beautiful entrees. It is Korean Fusion and we’ll worth a visit.

We were driving by, and saw that this place had replaced the old Pizza Pit (which went out of business for a reason). So we stopped in. EVERYTHING we got was awesome! I didn’t have any cocktails, but the prices are very very cheap, $ 2 for a 16 oz draft, and other great deals on alcoholic beverages. If anything, go there for the upscale, on the lake atmosphere, with dive bar prices.
Now the food! I am a chicken wing advocate and these things are FANTASTIC, and they come with fries for $ 6.99. It seems like they are baked, then finished on the grill (guessing), then just smothered in sauce. They were fall off the bone delicious! We also got the the tteok bok ki, and mushroom ramen. Both were very good. Service was great, and unlike many Asian restaurants, we left feeling better than we came in.
I would highly recommend this place for the prices, atmosphere, cleanliness, quality, and of course the awesome food!

We were passing by the area and came across this gem! I didn’t know I would find such cool korean bar in Mesa: D their food was great and service was fast and excellent. We had the korean style chicken and it was amazing. Also great deal on alcohol. I certainly will be a regular!

Awesome staff and the only Korean bar around Phoenix area. The food is decent and they have soju! Will be back. Love this place!
