21 Best Korean Restaurants in Ann Arbor

“Love the Soy Garlic wings and Korean donuts! If you’re going to order fries, go right for the Seasoned Fries!!“

“I’m giving all the stars for one reason: Masha. We like eating here and enjoy the food and service consistently. We’re Koreans and don’t expect traditional Korean food here : Miss Kim has its own special identity.
I’m writing this review because I just got off the phone with Masha, who was absolutely amazing while helping me confirm my reservation for my daughter’s graduation. I needed to adjust it form party of 3 to party of 4, and as you can imagine, everything is fully booked everywhere. However, she took the time to reconfigure and rearrange and made it happen. She was so friendly and competent, it truly surprised me. Absolutely wonderful experience with this staff. Give this person a raise! Wow! Bravo!“

“My sister and her boyfriend introduced me to this. I’ve lived in neighboring cities and had frequently visited Ann Arbor and had never been here. Great size for cost and THE best Bop I’ve ever had. I’ve been to authentic Korean restaurants and hands down I wish I would of bought more to have the next day. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.“

“The single best Korean street food I have found in this area. The owners and staff have incredible hearts and our super kind. The experience is Fast and efficient. The food is always incredible. The Stone Bowl bibimbap is literally the best I've ever had.“

“A friend recommended this restaurant to me and it sounded like a fun time, after a week we went there. The inside is clean, modern and simple. You have to wait to be seated, once we sat down we were given water right away which is a wonderful way to show good service early. I ordered the spicy pork, fried rice with chicken and hot sake. Before we got our meal, we were given all different types of sauces and appetizers. Like coleslaw, broiled and seasoned broccoli, some kind of spicy fish which I really enjoyed and a very spicy sauce that looked brownish and another sauce that was bright red & black and was also a bit spicy. After making conversation and enjoying the appetizers, 10 to 15 minutes, the spicy pork was brought out on this grilling plate, sizzling and looked very appetizing and tasty. For me and my friend this was the first experience we at Seoul Garden and I was blown away, I love the service more then anything and all of the service staff deserve raises. - Jacob Anderson, thanks for the wonderful meal SG! Also thanks guys for finding my phone. 😂“

“Food was delicious and great portion size (5 stars). Would recommend more booths and less high tops. Not enough table space on high tops and also purse hooks need to be installed. Lighting kept being changed (high/low and the colors) while we were eating.“

“The Hoagies are quite tasty, tried both and don’t know which I like more, we might always have to order both.“

“Arirang is just simply and overall phenomenal, cozy spot. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable - matched with outstanding and friendly service. And THE FOOD is just phenomenal - fresh, delicious, authentic. The spicy grilled squid and vegetables is our favorite, soups are excellent, everything is just perfect. Great portions, tasty sides, nothing but great things to say. See you soon!!“

“Bewon is a hidden gem that offers a meal and an experience of warmth, authenticity, and tradition. Located in Ann Arbor, this charming restaurant serves some of the best Korean food in Michigan, and every visit feels like being welcomed into a family home. When you enter, Mr. Jin greets you with a smile and a comforting cup of hot barley tea. The food is always fresh and mouthwatering, cooked with high-quality ingredients. Mrs. Jin goes the extra mile to ensure your experience is flawless. She checks on your table, offering banchan (side dishes) refills and ensuring you enjoy your meal. At the end of your visit, Mr. and Mrs. Jin bid you farewell with kindness, and Mrs. Jin's warm hugs make you feel like you just visited your own eomma's (mom's) kitchen. The dining area is adorned with colorful orchids by the windows, and the presence of local Korean patrons further assures you that this is the real deal for authentic Korean cuisine. Though it is a 40-minute drive from Toledo, it is worth it for the exceptional food, reasonable prices, and heartfelt hospitality. I Highly recommend it!“

“It was a super cold windy day during winter, they had chairs inside for ppl to wait but they forced us out. Food was nice tho

+ From the review below, I just noticed that the owner recently changed. I experienced this in 2023. Thank you for kindly replying to my review. I gave the stars back.“

“Very nice. Food was great and so was the service 👌👌“

“i’ve tried other korean BBQ places people recommended to me but not a single one has been better than The Seoul. The bulgolgi (self-grilled) with the sides and rice will send you to heaven (discretion is advised). And their soup is also delicious!“

“Authentic Korean meals and warmth“

“We were in town for the weekend to visit our son that is receiving care in a nearby facility. Our youngest son is a huge fan of Korean cuisine so he found this place to visit. The young lady working the counter, (If I remember correctly her name is Jeannie), was so helpful with helping us to navigate the menu and choosing our dishes to try. We ordered Bulgogi Beef, Rose' Tapoki, Cucumber Pickles, Soy Garlic Chicken wings and a few other things I can't remember. EVERYTHING was amazing. The restaurant is authentic to the Korean style.of small and intimate seating. I suggest visiting at least once, you will love it!“

“Food here is always prepared well and to your order. The staff are excellent and accommodating. The Korean food is my Japanese friends favorite, while I enjoy their American foods. Always a treat.“

“I was very impressed by the variety of flavor and texture combinations in the food. It felt like a party in my mouth! It seems so simple but the rice they use was also amazing! I love that there are so many clearly labeled vegan and gluten free options even though this is a vegetarian restaurant. I would love to visit again when I’m in the area. A little pricey but the food was really good.“

“Four of us came to this restaurant right after graduation. We were offered limited graduation menu. We ordered pretty much all meals on the menu. Drinks were good, food was OK and service was good. It was expensive and I felt like you paid for ambiance. Had heard a lot about this place but at the end it was disappointing overall“

“Was looking for some good, decently priced, Pho spot! This place has more than that, all the staples, and it’s delicious! Hidden gem!“

“very fresh sashimi and unique rolls at a good price“

“My kids loved the Korean corn dogs! Def will be back. Sad you were out of the honey butter fries today cause those are incredible but still had a great lunch!“

“Delicious sushi and hibachi!! Awesome service, too! Love this place!“
