20 Best Korean Restaurants in Tampa

“Amazing food and amazing service too. Mariah good customer service.“

“This place is stupid good. I don't even know the name of what I ordered, it was one of the first things on there. Got it with grilled chicken and the layered pancakes. Make sure you get extra sauce on the side. Get a green tea. I've never been, but it felt like I popped into someplace in Tokyo and had some local food. You order everything by yourself on the screen as soon as you walk in, then they call your name when it's ready. Seating for about eight groups of people or so. Go there immediately.“

“Enough Halal items on menu. Large portion Entrees. Different flavor and taste. Definitely recommend. Excellent fast service. Does have seafood smell in seafood soup. Rest quality food quality service. ???“

“10/10 Amazing food and friendly service.“

“Excellent food and friendly service. The kimchi stew was the best I ever had. We each got something different and loved it! We definitely will be back!“

“We felt guilty for coming in a bit later in the day but was still met with great service and welcoming hospitality.
Let me just say, please order any gimbap and dip them in the rose tokbokki sauce. Fire.
So so good I was excited to finish the rest lol.
Price point, food quality, hospitality, atmosphere were all great additions to a good restaurant. Definitely a must try in the Fowler/Bruce B Downs area.“

“I have been coming to this place for a little over three years!!! Definitely recommended!!

I absolutely love this place and the owners are the sweetest people. Everything is made fresh and is so flavorful. You really can’t beat the value of this food for the amount that you get. The portion size and flavors are what always keeps me coming back. This place also offers a great assortment of Ramen and I buy a lot of the individual banchan that they make themselves.

What I recommend to people is definitely the combo box so you can try a little bit of everything that they offer and the kimbap. I always get the spicy pork and the pork Katsu. The Katsu sauce that comes with it is just amazing. And any of the Kimbaps are a hit!

There are some things that some people may not like. For example, the meat that they have in any of their dishes is more of a stewed type meat. Some people find the texture and its softness not as appealing as it would be stir fried. Also, the japche noodles can be overcooked. I personally still love the food and have rarely had the problem with the japche, But I thought it’s something some people might not prefer.

Overall, I love this place and I definitely think it is one of the best quick Korean food eats in the Tampa area without having to spend a lot of money at a Korean restaurant.“

“I could go here every day. Delicious and lots to choose from. Very friendly staff“

“I had a wonderful experience at K-Hwa Ro Gui! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the family-oriented service made the visit feel extra special. Seeing their children help serve added such a genuine, personal touch. I’ll definitely be returning!

“Fantastic Experience, bring the whole family !“

“I can’t even put into words what an awesome experience we had here! This restaurant has been in my neighborhood for awhile now and I never got around to giving it a try. Well last night my cousin planned a surprise party here for her boyfriend, and WOW, I can’t believe it took me so long for me to visit this place. Where do I begin? Service was TOP notch. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The first girl who sat us in the room was kind enough to turn the a/c up because it was freezing. She also brought menus and checked up on us often while our group started rolling in. Then our server (a blonde young woman with a hat and ponytail) was also so fun and friendly the entire night! She’d be singing along with us while bringing in food and taking our orders. 🎶 it was really such a great experience with service. Then the atmosphere, that room we rented is awesome!!! I’m not sure how they are able to contain all of the noise and craziness from the outside but somehow they do. & we all had a blast! The multiple screens, the art, the seating and tables, it’s perfect 🤩 Lastly, the food. I’ve been to a lot of wing places but I think these are by far the best wings I have ever had. They are juicy, flavorful and pretty large. The dumplings, kimchi…perfection 🙌🏽👏🏽 If you have been contemplating coming here, please do! You will not regret it. Also, if you need a fun place to have a party with friends, this is it!!!“

“I just had lunch here and I don’t think I’ve ever experienced better service- the woman who greeted me had a glass of water and banchan in front of me within 30 seconds (not kidding lol) of my butt hitting the seat. I got the kimchi soon doo boo ji gae and it was excellent. one of the servers helped me box up my leftovers- the portions are generous- which I certainly never expect but always appreciate. Definitely will be back!“

“soooo good but pricey. definitely will be back.“

“Great Korean Food with large portions“

“There was a young lady closing a couple days ago (curly hair) who was so incredible! She welcomed us and informed us on the menu and was overall very attentive about the customers. Give her a raise she puts up with a lot especially late at night when so many people order takeout! 🥡 Overall good chicken and customer service!“

“We went shopping at Lottes and decided to give both SGD and Sushi Harku a try. We were pleasantly surprised how tasty, hot, and fresh all our food was. The portions were large. We received a text when our food was ready and the service was friendly and fast. The barbeque meats were terrific, and the green beans and other vegetables were fresh, tasty, and delicious. The sushi rolls were fresh and very good. We will definitely come back.“

“A wonderful menu of Japanese fusion and classic dishes. Great sushi and sashimi!“

“Whatta positive surprise!!! Well, when ordering we've been a little surprised about the price and the wait time, BUUUT: after we've been receiving our order we've been totally surprised by the taste and quality of the food!!! Outstanding and fantastic!!!! Wish we had one closer to where we live“

“What a fabulous find! Everything was PERFECT!“

“great to have Japanese and Korean cuisine. Both are excellent.“
