29 Best Korean Restaurants near Owings Mills

“We just ordered for the first time. Bibimbap and Japchae. Both were more tasty than expected, so we are very pleased. The gochujang was perfect! This is definitely a worthy place for sudden Korean food cravings! Please let us know if you ever have intentions of expanding the menu. I'll go ahead and request yookgaejang and soondubu jjigae upfront! 😁 Thank you! 고맙습니다!!! We'll definitely see you again soon.“

“Fast, accurate, friendly everytime! Been here pretty much every day the last wk for breakfast both before work (done on time with no wait when called in) and wknds. This is also almost the only place in the county open on Sundays for the reasonably priced mom-pop style breakfast platters/sandwiches (vs commercial spots like Ihop and Eggspectations or something). I most appreciate how consistently fresh the bagels are for sandwiches (Compared to THB which will pull a tooth 😆) and how well seasoned the home fries are with fresh/tender )/edible onions. A GEM indeed. I place this in the $1-$10 pp category because really...a sandwich and home fries will only run you about $10.“

“Pretty cozy and low key restaurant.

Pretty mixed bag of what we got. The favorite was probably the dolsot (stone bowl) and egg roll like stuffdd with glass noodles. Latter made fresh and significantly crunchy even after long periods still retained it somehow.

Probably will go back to try something different.

But surprise, togo boxes charged 50 cents each. First time I've ever seen a restaurant do this for what you think should be free or part of just any restaurant outing

Sorry no pictures forgot!“

“Visited Jumak on Sunday night around 7:30 pm. They kept the interior and decor from the previous business Kare Bar, however added neon lights on one side of the wall. I personally felt the decor was very outdated and looked “cheap”. They left the bar “dark” which made the entire room looked very dark and not welcoming. Really wished they can consider redo their decor.

Despite having my personal opinion about their decor, their food was surprisingly very good. The portion of their entree is huge and good enough for two people to share. We ordered Chicken Katsu Don and today’s special “miso truffle salmon gnocchi”. The chicken katsu was absolutely delicious and a great comfort food. The panko breaded chicken cutlet was flavorful and crispy. The steaming egg was also savory. I especially appreciated the dish was served at a high temperature and not lukewarm. The daily special “miso truffle salmon gnocchi” was phenomenal, perfectly balanced with Alfredo creamy sauce and truffle. Both dishes were highly recommended!

We also ordered a glass of Peach Makge Bellini and Citrus Makge Sangria. Both cocktails were too sweet and not having enough alcohol, which could be improved.

Overall, Jumak is highly recommended. I also appreciate they open at late night.“

“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!“

“The food was delicious! We had pork belly, Galbi, mandu, jiggae, garanjin, and a few other dishes. The salad with the mandu was so yummy, the dressing is amazing. Overall, it was a wonderful meal and the staff were so kind. We enjoy Korean food and tryout different restaurants and this one is up there with the taste of the food.“

“Zero complaints about the food, as it is very good. Unfortunately, this is the kind of establishment that aims to vacate their restaurant at closing time. They will absolutely shove a menu in your face and stand over your shoulder while forcing you to order on the spot even if you arrive 30 minutes prior to closing. They should have a sign that clearly delineates when the kitchen closes instead of making guests feel uncomfortable for patronizing their restaurant even at a reasonable time.“

“Our family and a friends family meet at Kpot 2/3 times a month for dinner. The service is always great and the tablet makes ordering super convenient! We celebrated our daughter’s 10th birthday tonight and she really enjoyed the cheesecake (her bday dinner was also free which we didn’t know and thought was very nice)!“

“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!“

“TLDR: BeSeTo in Catonsville is a beautifully renovated Asian food court offering generous portions, excellent Korean comfort dishes, and a fun dose of Korean culture through its downstairs shopping area. A must visit if you enjoy authentic Korean food and variety.

BeSeTo Food Court in Catonsville has become one of my favorite local spots. Located right next to H Mart on Rolling Road, BeSeTo (short for Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo) occupies the space that used to be the longtime Hanori food court where I had been going for nearly 15 years. The renovation here is massive in the best way. The entire space feels brighter and more modern and the mix of vendors has improved dramatically.

The food court is now located upstairs and features five total vendors offering a wide mix of Asian comfort foods. Over the course of a dozen visits I have tried all of them and everything has been fantastic as well as fairly priced. Some of the absolute must tries are the kalguksu with its rich handmade noodles, the sundae which is incredibly hard to find locally, the jajangmyeon and jjambbong duo for when you want to go classic Korean Chinese, and the jokbol when it is available. Portions here are extremely generous, many large enough to share, so it is well worth coming with friends or family.

Ordering is very simple. Each vendor has a numbered menu and you can order easily in English if you do not speak Korean. Food comes out fast and always piping hot which makes it a perfect spot for a quick lunch or casual dinner.

Downstairs you will find the shopping vendors specializing in Korean home goods. They carry everything from cookware and tabletop items to traditional style furniture and even herbal supplements. Browsing through the aisles genuinely reminded me of the household stores I visited in Seoul and it adds a cultural bonus to the overall experience.

Overall, BeSeTo is a gem in Catonsville and a must visit for anyone who loves Korean food or wants to explore a slice of Korean culture. Generous portions, great pricing, and a refreshed space make this an a homerun pick.“

“Cozy, small place that is very clean and tidy. Wonderful service- felt like my mother was taking care of me! Food is authentic and the side dishes have generous portions. Definitely recommend.

Pay at the counter and to-go boxes are self-serve. 6% food fee and automatic 20% tip for 5 or more guests.“

“Korean and Mexican flavors unite in a symphony of deliciousness! Brace yourself for the mind-blowing Korean chicken burger that'll make your taste buds groove. With its crispy, golden exterior and a saucy harmony of Gochujang and Mexican slaw, each bite is a flavor explosion that'll have you singing, "¡Olé, spicy goodness!" Prepare for a food adventure that'll make your palate dance to the Bebop beat! 🎵🔥🍔“

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

“Absolutely the best Asian food I've ever tried! Every bite at Kokoyami is a delightful journey of flavors and freshness. The staff is always warm and welcoming, making each visit feel special. I can't recommend this place enough—it's a true gem that never fails to brighten my day. If you're craving authentic, delicious Asian cuisine, Kokoyami is the spot to visit. Can't wait to go back and indulge again!“

“Great food awesome atmosphere“

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

“Love love love this place! Great price and very low key place. Great homemade meals it almost feels like especially with the ambiance. I highly recommend this place, great to come for lunch and dinner!“

“Best Korean fried chicken wings ever!!! The house sauce was gold! The rice is legit! I had to edit my review because the second time we came the service was not so great. Great food but the server we initially got has to work on her attitude. She kept ignoring me and my partner when clearly we were here before other guest. She ended up taking the other guest order first. Not a big deal but the slow service did it for me. I recommend take out.“

“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.“

“Had an incredible meal tended to by Winnie. She made the dining experience even better with her recommendations and how she cooked the food at the table. Everything was delicious, great atmosphere. 5 stars for sure!“

“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 😉

Definitely recommend @WineDinenVacay“

“Love their kimchi beef so much! Always coming back for more!!“

“Had the Dumbling Ramen and it was very good. It was spicier than I expected but I’m not bothered by such things; gave it a nice surprising kick. Comes in a metal bowl on hot pad, so be warned it will be quite hot at first and may need to let it cool a little before eating.“

“I highly recommend Seoul Fusion Korean Poke Bar for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Korean dining experience. The food is fresh, flavorful, and presented beautifully. The poke bowls are especially noteworthy, with a great selection of ingredients and sauces to choose from. The service is also fantastic, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who make sure your experience is top-notch. Whether you're a fan of Korean cuisine or just looking for a new place to try, Seoul Fusion Korean Poke Bar is definitely worth checking out.“

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

“I got the spicy pork and the dumplings, both were excellent. I asked the kitchen to really add a lot of spice and it was PERFECT, they didn't hold back. The dish had some real kick without overwhelming the rest of seasoning. We will definitely be going back.“
