16 Best Korean Restaurants in Ellicott City

“Unfortunately this restaurant lacks service. We got seated right away with menus but have been waiting for around 15 minutes without being asked for our order. So, we just left. They can’t seem to handle the number of customers.

We went back last Saturday to give it a second chance. This time we were served quickly. Service was friendly and warm.
We had the Dolsot and it was very good, freshly made, hot and sizzling! The quality and quantity was great. I even had some leftovers to take home. Price is also good. We’ll definitely be back and try their other dishes:)“

“I have come here to eat for years even when they where at another location since I was little. I have always come here when I want very good food, the best to be exact or when life has me down. The staff is so friendly. I even came to pick up my take out order one time and I had gotten a flat tire driving over just before turning in and they even came out to help me without even asking. They care and the food shows it.“

“I ordered the Naengmyun Cold Noodles and LA Galbi combo — everything was made to perfection. The slushy, slightly sweet, and pleasantly chewy noodles paired beautifully with the beefy broth, which had just the right tang after I added a bit of vinegar. The galbi was perfectly grilled, with that ideal balance of sweet, salty, and savory flavors. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Everything at this place is recommended!“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food tasted authentic and home-style, and all the side dishes were fresh and neatly served. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were kind and welcoming. There’s a great variety on the menu, and the prices are fair for the quality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good Korean food!“

“Very budget friendly family oriented local Korean spot. Good for small groups and so far everything has been good. All the soups, sujebi, kimbap is necessary. Tteokbokki is slightly sweet spicy and slightly savory. My go to spot to please the whole family.“

“Snow Ice and Gimbap. Next time I’m trying the Rice Cake Ramen.“

“Wonderful service and equally wonderful food ! So glad to have good quality Korean food in our local community!“

“Great Korean comfort food in a small dining room in Ellicott City. I ordered their Seolleongtang with brisket. Broth isn’t as rich and creamy compared to other places but it was still pretty good. Many pieces of brisket. I did add quite a bit of salt. My daughter really wanted their bimbimguksu, but they don’t have it anymore. She got their bimbimnaengmyun and liked it. The steamed egg with cheese was good and unique.

Come early to avoid the wait time!“

“The salads here are very gourmet and if you come here you'll love it😋“

“This place has the best fried chicken in Baltimore area.“

“great place to hang out and have some fantastic Korean munchies. very friendly service!“

“Highly recommended Food are not expensive“

“This place is the best Korean in Maryland! I bought three different kinds of Korean spicy soups (Yuk-keh Jang, Goni Tang, and Al Tang) and rice including free sides for dinner today! The test is excellent and staffs are very friendly. I believe this place is the oldest Korean restaurant in this area and it's been there over 25 yrs. Hope they can keep the business for another +25 yrs for Marylanders.“

“Our favorite restaurant in Ellicot City. Hope they stick with same chefs.“

“Looking for authentic Korean cuisine? This is the place.

Very authentic from food selection, drinks offered, to interior atmosphere, wall decorations and the service. There is nothing fancy here, only hearty Korean vibes and food here. Everything is reasonably priced given the shareable size portions of each order. If you understand Korean culture, you will know how authentic this place is and will not complain about the service. It was good service to my opinion 😉
