6 Best Korean Restaurants in Bloomington

“This is a great low key place to get some amazing Korean food. This time I got the ttukbaegi bulgogi (hot stone bowl beef bulgogi) and it was sooo good. The broth was seasoned perfectly with a hint of sweetness. The beef, noodles and rice cakes were cooked perfect. Loved the Bachman, especially the fish cake and yellow radish. Would definitely order again.“

“One of our favorite places in town. The best balance of cozy, local, and consistent that you'll want to become a regular at. The food is always delicious and the staff always friendly, and there's never a long wait for your food. It's clean, tasty, and the perfect spot to get your Korean fix.“

“Korea Restaurant has a pretty predictable but large menu of gimbap, various soups, bulgogi, bibimbap, hotpot, KFC, teriyaki, and more, with some Japanese-style dishes in addition to the Korean. This restaurant, like the others on this street, is in a converted house, and the environment is comfortable and unpretentious. They had K-pop music videos playing on a TV in the dining room. There was an older man and a woman serving together; the woman was very sweet, the man came off as quite serious.
I ordered the tofu hot stone bibimbap which also came with an assortment of banchan. None of the food really stood out to me but it was all pretty good. I definitely would've liked more tofu in the bibimbap, but I did appreciate that it seemed to be lightly pan-fried rather than deep-fried. With hot sauce added, the bowl was very flavourful but not too salty. The vegetables were all cooked well and the fried egg also had nice crispy edges. The portion was filling, especially with the banchan. The bibimbap came out literally seconds after the banchan, so I was a little worried it would get cold before I had the chance to eat the banchan, but the stone bowl kept it nice and hot until the last bite.
I would say this is an okay place for vegetarians/vegans since they do have a number of entrees that I believe should be vegetarian or vegan (more if you remove the egg), but they don't label which dishes are vegetarian, so you might have to ask questions about hidden meat/seafood ingredients if you're not familiar with Korean food. If you are vegetarian, let them know when you order, because even though the bibimbap I ordered was vegetarian, some of the banchan (fishcakes and likely the kimchi) contained seafood.
The overall experience was positive but not outstanding in terms of the food or atmosphere, so while I might return if I'm craving Korean, I want to try other Korean places in the neighbourhood first to see what else is out there.“

“We love this restaurant. My friends come here a lot and this is my second time visiting here with them. The food is so good. I think it's one of the best restaurants in the city. We ate it all before I could get any pictures. The owner is so nice and sweet. Can't wait to come here again.“

“The food was good.
I ordered my usually where I cannot get back at home. My husband's order shrunk in size from a 1.5 month ago.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who experience this as it happened to me in Oct/Nov last year and my husband said I was over reacting.

Today 4/18/26 dinner, my beef broth was way too salty. 1st time trying it. But the appetizer seafood pancake was extra good today.“
