24 Best Korean Restaurants near Sterling Heights

“As a frequent traveler for work throughout different states in the US, I always find myself craving Korean food, which brings me comfort while I am away from my house. Generally, I have been able to find high-quality and authentic Korean restaurants, although they've been elusive in some areas or states. Finally, I discovered Chung Ki Wa in Michigan. I've brought clients and friends there for numerous meals. Every visit has been worthwhile, and the restaurant offers a private area where I've been able to host my clients for an elevated dining experience and private conversations. If you're looking to experience authentic and high-quality Korean cuisine, similar to that of well-known Korean restaurants in NY, NJ, or LA, Chung Ki Wa is the place to visit“

“excelente comida, servicio rápido y amable“

“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!“

“Amazing food and even better atmosphere. I've been there twice and plan on going over and over again. The staff are very helpful and nice. My daughter would eat there every night if I'd let her 😅.“

“This has to be one of the crunchiest and delicious chicken I've had in a long time. The 20-hour marinated chicken is moist and the skin is crispy this place will become part of my weekly rotation of food. The spicy chicken is not too overwhelming it's more of the sauce that adds the kick.“

“Stopped in for a quick lunch and decided to try the sweet and sour pork. Not being familiar with many Korean dishes and with no images on the menu, I chose something I felt safe with. The portion size was incredibly generous. The pork had a light, crisp batter that wasn’t greasy, and the dipping sauce was perfectly balanced—fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet. It came with a small side salad and pickled radish. Drinks are served in cans, and they offer Coke products. Service was minimal—I saw my server only twice: once to order and once to pay, with no check-in about the meal. The restaurant itself is charming, clean, and bright. I’ll definitely return!“

“Got to try some awesome Korean street food here. Was provided excellent service by Sophie, she even allowed my dad and I to sample the kimchi before ordering. Neither of us had it before, and while it was too spicy for me and too tough to chew for my dad. It was cool to try and helped us decide what to order.“

“Everything was delicious! I had the jangtuktukbap and barley tea. My Dad got the kimchi jiggae and beef jap chae. We loved all of it. The seaweed was also the best I've ever had.“

“I've wanted to try the wings for a long time and I finally went in on Sunday. The person that greeted me at the counter was very helpful and friendly. The wings? Wow I can honestly say these were the BEST wings I've ever had in my life! Lightly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and the sauce was perfect! I also really like the radish cubes on the side. I cant wait to go back again!“

“If I could rate two hands corn dogs 1000/10 I would. The staff is phenomenal and the food is even better. Great price and great food. I live over 35 mins away and can’t wait to definitely go back.“

“From beginning to end, it was literally one of my best experiences! Come and see Emily and she will take you on a magical tour of some of the most incredible Korean food I’ve ever experienced, and the chicken is out of this world! Do not deny yourself displeasure in this life“

“Good food and friendly staff! I loved the flavors. My kids loved the Pac-Man arcade game.“

“Everything is fresh and delicious“

“This review is for Tomo since this cafe that was inside of H Mart moved to this location right next door. Food seams the same which is good. Prices went up a little but they now have a self service side dish bar that comes with your meal. They had at least 4 choices of side dishes. They were all good.

You pay for the food when you enter just like before but they now bring the food out to you. They also bus the tables when you are done too. You still get your own water, side dishes etc. Nicer atmosphere in the new place for sure.“

“Love this place. Always a winner, every time.“

“I have been wanting to try this place for the longest, but I got around to trying it today. It was DELICIOUS! For some reason I don’t like classic corn dogs (like the ones from the state fair or freezer aisle) but these completely changed my mind. Go try if you are in the area.“

“they were super fast and the waiters took time to assist several tables who were new to the menu and had no idea what anything was. the staff was all super friendly and accommodating!“

“The food, atmosphere, service, and overall dining experience was superb!! The menu offered a lot of great choices! We tried the edamame, Miso soup, spring rolls, and two different Sushi orders to split!! The love boat looked amazing!! I highly recommend this place for fresh and delicious food!! We will be back and will drive from the Flint area!“

“Sushi, sushi and let me say it again SUSHI! Treat yourself to Hi Sushi anytime, but consider trying it during their lunch specials, less than $11 for two sushi rolls!?! Wait and even better the lunch specials run on Saturdays!?! Recommendation: Please call & visit their website for the specific times and days the lunch specials are offered because the menu could be changed. The Sushi was so tasty, that I had it for dinner! On the second occasion, I went inside and the staff was friendly. Cannot wait to dine in next time because the atmosphere was inviting. Recommendation: Deep Fried Spicy California Roll and California Roll, both were equally delicious! If you want a bomb of flavor on your tongue, make sure to dab a little wasabi and ginger slice too. God Bless Hi Sushi!“

“So glad I found this gem! Tried the yummy monster corndog and chicken bites. The yumyum sauce was sooo good! Totally changed our perception of Korean corn dogs!

While we waited for our food we looked at the food offered in the market. Lots of options I’ve never seen before and definitely recommend taking a look!“

“This place is awesome! such friendly staff, food was beyond amazing and place was really clean! will definitely be back.“

“Awesome place for Karaoke 🎤! Definitely feels like going back to asia! And the staff is soo very friendly and nice! We had such a great time! Thank you soo much! 🫶🏻🤗💕🙌🏻“

“I am absolutely outraged with the behavior of the owner today at SOHO. My family and I went to this restaurant after Saturday little league games. We had 5 adults, 5 children and 2 babies. We have been to this restaurant countless times as a family. Today, after sitting and looking an menus, ordering drinks, we were met by the manager that came to our table and said “I’m sorry our limit is 8 people”. Confused, we asked for clarity because again, we have been to this restaurant countless times with the SAME group and number of people. In fact, we have NEVER been to this restaurant with less people. I asked, “wait are you saying we can’t eat here today because of the number of people?“ THAT is how confused I seriously was. The manager then responded, “Yes, I’m so sorry”. I pointed out to him that we had been sitting, getting ready to order for quite some time. Moments before this, the waiter came to take our orders but had to leave to grab us extra napkins. He said that his waiter called him all the way from his home because he couldn’t “do it” - referring to asking us to leave. There were quite a few other staff members there. So if this was a rule, why didn’t any of them point it out to the “new person” or let us know right away Of their “party limit”.? Please know we went on a Saturday around 330pm and there was two other parties in the entire restaurant - totaling only 5 other people. To me, if I had a party that was a few people over my “limit” I would not kick them out one, but definitely not when my restaurant is close to empty and the party has already been sat. Because of my “new team members” error- as a manager, I would have continued to serve this party. I need to point out that NONE of us in our entire lives have ever been asked to leave ANYWHERE. We are a Christian family of Pastors and ministers. I say this to speak to our character. There was no behavior on our end, that warranted this. I also pointed out that the table we were sitting at was DESIGNED for more than 10 people. We didn’t come into the restaurant moving tables and chairs together, the table was already set up for 12 people to sit there. I asked the manager why we were sat and waited on For all this time to then be kicked out? He claimed that the person who was our waiter was new and didn’t know their 8 people limit rule. I pointed out the fact that the table we were sitting at was set up for 12 And asked why that is if they had a limit of 8? He then said with our number of kids - it is not safe for them in the restaurant because their establishment serves alcohol. So first it was because our party was more than 8 and then it turned into being an issue with the number of kids? There is absolutely no reason for this behavior. To me, the only thing that makes any sense is it being racially discriminatory. I strongly urge you to no longer go to this restaurant. Of course, we left with no issue because if we are not welcome or wanted because of race or any other invalid reason- we don’t want to eat at the restaurant anyways. But point of my review is to prevent this from happening to anyone else. we used to love this place and our entire family would come. never again, even with 2 people will I step foot in this establishment and I will strongly encourage everyone I know and everyone that’s reading this to do the same.“
