25 Best Korean Restaurants near Sterling Heights

“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!“

“This was my first hotpot experience and I loved it. Cannot wait to go back and try the Korean BBQ. The price was great. The service was excellent and IT'S ALL YOU CAN EAT.“

“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“

“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!“

“You will not regret eating here. The soy fried dumplings are to die for they're so good. I love the rose tteokbokki (think big squishy balls of noodles with creamy mild spicy sauce and bits of veggies and meat). The fried chicken is very delicious.“

“Since this place opened, I only eat chicken here. All the chicken is delicious, clean, and the staff is very friendly... Even when I see them occasionally, they always say hello and say it's been a while. I wish this place would stay around for a long time.

“Based on the reviews I really wanted to love this place; when I walked in I was intrigued by the great menu of Korean street food, several ramune drink flavors and lively K-pop videos playing in the back. I attempted to ask what was recommended/popular dish and the cashier I did not make me feel very welcome to ask any questions.

I ordered a box of 12 wings (soy garlic/Korean sassy) and small sides of kimchi & pickled radish. The chicken wings were big, juicy inside and still crispy even with the generous toss in the sauces. Both were yummy with the sassy one packing a tiny bit of heat. I liked the generous portion and was able to share with 3 adults as a snack. Disappointed to say the kimchi was terrible! It was bland as in no taste (no heat, garlic, sourness) even if it were a “fresh”kimchi it should taste like something. The radishes were a nice crunchy and fresh break from the fatty friedness of the chicken. I would possible go back to try the bulgogi but there are other local places that are similarly priced with better food and friendlier service.“

“Delicious chicken and tasty dumplings in the lunch special. Soy garlic dumplings were perfectly crispy. Service was excellent. I went for the Supreme sauce on my boneless chicken. It’s perfectly sweet-spicy; the chicken pieces were large and well-sauced. I’d definitely recommend for a Korean chicken fix if you’re craving some.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Everything is fresh and delicious“

“Small little restaurant inside H mart.I ordered the black bean noodle and Korean fried chicken wings to go, and both dishes were great.The staff was nice and friendly, and it didn’t take long to get my food. The portions were huge and tasty.The black bean noodle was full of flavor, savory and chewy. It came with vegetables and small bites of pork.The wings were crispy and tasty with a little kick.I would def come back to try more dishes.

Parking: Big plaza with plenty of parking spots.“

“Everything was really good and fresh! Got the potato half and half and the original half and half 10/10 delish. Although I couldn't eat all of it because they are pretty large. I had half and then the other half a few hours later and it was still good.

Vegetarian options: They have cheese options and a plant based dog my co worked got and loved.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Amazing take-out! Ready FAST! 15 minutes for family of 4 - great prices too. The Detroit Roll was so good with the lemon! My kids (9&5) loved the gyosa soup, CA rolls, katsu & edamame too. ?

Parking: Don’t park at the gas station, there’s a lot directly behind the building with a back door into the restaurant.“

“My friend and I went about 3x in the last week trying all the loaded fries. Coming at #1 is the honeybacon loaded fries. The honey sauce is soooo good, its like honey bbq. #2 is the yummyyummy loaded fries. Again the sauce is so good and they’re not stingy. A LITTLE bit spicy but good. The honey red were my least favorite. They were good but too much sauce made it taste a little weird I also had the corn dog with potatoes on it, it was good. Wish I saved my picture because it looks really good as well but if you wanted loaded fries with a lot of good sauce get their loaded fries.“

“This chicken turned around my failing marriage, this chicken helped me kick my snow addiction, this chicken gave back my sight. To say this chicken is the reason I'm alive doesn't give it enough credit. Honestly the best chicken I've ever had“

“Very good Ramen dishes that my son and I had. Will definitely eat there again.“

“I recently dined at Sapporo and it was an exceptional experience!!!

The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented, but what truly stood out was the service. The owner was incredibly friendly, making sure each guest felt welcome and well taken care of. It’s rare to find such personal attention, and it made the meal feel special. The staff as a whole were attentive and efficient, enhancing the overall dining experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious sushi with outstanding, personalized service!“

“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.“
