6 Best Korean Restaurants near Westport

“Our family has been a patron of Gogi Korean Steakhouse (formerly Wafu) since inception in 2019. We have dined there at least 25 times in the period 2019-2023. (Wafu/Westport opened in 2019 and was owned by the 4 founders of "Tuck Gin" + Simon & Elaine Chen of Westport. The quality of food went down during Covid. In 2022, Wafu/Westport closed temporarily. The restaurant was re-opened later in 2022, this time with Simon & Elaine Chen as owners and managers. Oh, what a difference the change in ownership brought about!) GOGI LOREAN STEAKHOUSE IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL! Simon & Elaine refined the menu, keeping what were originally the best selections and making them even better. Our family favorites (which we order almost every visit, while trying other dishes for comparison) include: * Seafood Pancake (crispy to perfection and stuffed with a variety of seafoods) * Bulgogi (entree sauteed to tender perfection at the table - ask for marinated) * Pork Belly (a close second favorite entree, prepared same as the Bulgogi) Simon personally visits and/or serves each table, making sure everything meets the customers' expectations. This is hands-on ownership and management in the very best sense of the phrase. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TWJ (Westport, CT)“

“if you are good at grilling or have some experience, then this is the best place. When I was a kid, I always eat hot food fresh out of the stove or oven. I cannot eat cold food. So this place is best for me.

Always make sure to tell them to set the temperature to medium once the pot is hot, or you can do it yourself. Their spicy beef gulgogi is the best.

If you do not use their white yum yum sauce with the bbq meat then you are a fool and should stop going there. that sauce with lettuce and with bbq meat make it taste amazing with full of flavors. I would go there all the time but I have to watch my weight.

the only thing I don't like about this place is that the ventilation is missing on top of the table. the korean bbq place I go to in Manhattan has a vent with fan on each table so if you accidentally burn the meat, the smoke gets pulled outside instead of suffocating you. I guess you just have to be careful and flip the meat frequently.“

“I am always suspicious of places that don’t focus on one cuisine but we have ordered twice now from Yuki Kitchen and have been impressed by the authenticity of the menu. We ordered Simmered Shitake mushrooms, Lucky Pink Radish, and smashed spicy cucumbers and all were amazing. We also ordered Yaya Balls which are deep fried octopus. My son had them in Japan on a visit a few weeks ago and said they tasted just as good. He was also excited to see a brand of iced tea he had in Japan. Yuki Kitchen is a tiny but mighty source for authentic Asian food. Don’t drive by it….“
