BC2 is a true gem! I love the bibimbap bento - the rice is perfect, sauce is delicious, and it's a great combination of vegetables and chicken. Chang creates a friendly atmosphere and I always appreciate the care he takes in every aspect of this great lunch spot.

Chang and his sons not only have awesome food (Udon is the best), but 5-star goes to their service and speed. UPDATE (4/19) =========== I’ve now been there at least 25 (if not double that), and their service, not only to me, but other customers had been excellent. Will continue to support them.

great little stop in spot for food, snacks, and fuel in the downtown area. It is reasonably priced and inside (versus a food cart). The staff are very friendly and learn your face fast, which is nice. Their Udon is my favorite of any of the "fast stop" or cart food downtown to date. Also, their "magic tea" has saved me many a times in the cold and flu season. I've even come to get some when i was home sick, just because it helped so much! I miss having them as a local option!!

All the "food cart" flavor but none of the weather or slow speed. The bento is excellent and the portion size generous. Add the value pricing and the friendly staff and you have a perfect quick lunch place you can depend on.

Dude, Chang's spicy Udon soup is the best in town. Add some marinated octopus and you're set!
