Mall food courts don't usually produce cravings worth returning for. Tasty T at Empire Mall is the exception — a Korean restaurant tucked inside Sioux Falls' biggest shopping destination that actually makes you stop mid-lap and reconsider your lunch plans.
The menu leans into Korean flavors with intention — expect dishes that layer heat, salt, and sweetness in the way Korean cooking actually does it. Whether you're grabbing a quick bowl between stores or sitting down to eat something more satisfying than a soft pretzel, Tasty T delivers food that punches well above its food court zip code. They serve up rice bowls, marinated proteins, and sauced-up combinations that beat most sit-down spots on flavor per minute.
Locals who've discovered it tend to work it into their mall routine like a fixed point. The efficiency is real — you order, you eat, you move — but the food doesn't feel rushed or cut-corner. It earns repeat business the old-fashioned way: by tasting like someone gave it actual thought.
