Amazing food made and served by an amazing couple. Every dish is made from scratch and with love. My picky son's fave restaurant in the cities is Mirror of Korea. Can't wait to go back!

Second time I've been here. First time, not very memorable. Second time, I enjoyed it a lot. Food was very flavorful, spicy, and tasty. Ambiance and interior is not an intimate setting, rather appropriate for a casual outing. The Yukgaejung is an awesome soup entree, as well as the Kalbi. Will be back!

Had the privilege of finding this little gem today!!! Wow what a treat and surprise!!! I can honestly say this is the best Korean restaurant I've ever been to in the Twin Cities. It reminded me so much of the very first time I tried Korean food at my Korean friends house; her eomma made food every day and I remember the smells of her cooking. Not only is the food delicious and full of authentic flavors but the service was by far the best experience I've had at a Asian restaurant. Thank you to the owner for taking the time to talk to us. I didn't get a picture of the delicious food because I was too busy eating it and didn't even bother to wait. But I took a picture of me holding my tub of kimchi I purchased to enjoy at home! I can't wait to go back! 100/10 most go!!!

We LOVE it. Absolutely delicious authentic Korean food. They choose the best ingredients and have worked hard to perfect the recipes. Especially the chicken wings. Be willing to wait a little for your food if the place is busy, but it is WELL worth the wait. Quality is so high. Service is friendly and sincere.

This location is no longer affiliated with Mirror of Korea, St. Paul. The restaurant is clean, bright, and spacious. Staff was very helpful and courteous. The menu has a nice assortment of traditional Korean cuisine. Unfortunately, they don't serve Tteokbokki but they have plenty of other tantalizing options to choose from. Be sure to try their deliciously crispy fried chicken wings!

I stopped on a few nights ago with my girlfriend after seeing the restaurant pop up on Google Maps when searching for somewhere to eat. The restaurant is owned and operated by a Korean couple. The husband told us that they bought the restaurant in August 2021 and cut the menu from 60-70 items down to about 15-20 items and that “everything is good”.We ordered the chicken wings, beef bibimbap, seafood pancake, seafood soup (can’t remember the name), and a rice cake dish (also forgot the name).Holy smokes! This was probably the best all around Korean food I’ve had in my life. Not a single dish was just “okay”. I was thoroughly impressed for such an unsuspecting place. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back ?

Truly a hidden gem in Eden Prairie. We were a little apprehensive trying this place, but so glad we did. We ordered a few items, which included seafood pancake (thick and crispy), rice cakes (delicious sauce) , wings (covered in a sweet Korean sauce), seafood tofu soup (perfect for a cold evening), and bibimbap. Everything we ordered had a good amount of kick/spice. Service was great, you can tell it's a family-owned restaurant. Additionally, this restaurant has the same name as the one in St. Paul - they are not affiliated with each other so the items are different. Overall, if you are in EP, definitely check out this place!

Wish I knew about this place earlier! Best Korean food we've had in the Twin cities. We got the pork bulgogi, seafood soondubu jjigae, and beef bibimbap. Strongly recommend all of them. Great banchan too. All the food came out very fresh and hot.Also, I like that the menu wasn't too big. Staff was very nice.

They cook the food fast and the guy who runs the restaurant is super nice and thoughtful. If something ever goes wrong, he always finds a way to fix it. Would 100% recommend this restaurant!!!

I have ordered carry out twice from this restaurant and every time it is a 10/10 experience. I try to order something new each time but the rice, and side dishes are always amazing and the kimchi is so FRESH. the price is well worth the quality as well as the fact that you get so much food. each entree comes with rice as well as side dishes! the staff is always so sweet and I am just so glad I have this gem close by. definitely recommend!
Great local family owned restaurant in Eden Prairie. We first saw this posted on the Eat Minnesota Facebook page and decided to try it out this weekend. Came down for lunch on Saturday before we started doing our errands. We arrived about 30 minutes before they opened (new hours due to Covid). So we hit a few of the other shops in this strip mall where they are located. Came back when they opened. They were running a new special, 5 chicken wings with a home made sauce. These are huge wings and were awesome. Due to their size, they take awhile to prepare. So don't plan on them being an appetizer. We all enjoyed our lunch (they also seemed to have a brisk take out). We all enjoyed our lunch so much we came back for dinner with some friends. All food was freshly prepared (so meals might take a few additional minutes from what you may be used to). But for us this heightens then experience. While we were there they had one dining room server and at least one in the back. They were hustling, but all our meals come out hot and they paid attention to our beverages as well. Can't wait to visit them again.

St Paul location is completely different restaurant; this is much better!! Wonderful food ran by a caring husband and wife team. They will make sure whatever you need is done properly but it will be perfect when you first receive your food. Eventually they will have lines out the door so go try it now!!!!Prices are reasonable but will be 15-20 per person (if you don’t order a second meal) but it’s worth every penny.Try it!!!!!

Good place for all Korean food. Portions were good, accompanied with good side dishes, and the price was very affordable on menu. I would recommend trying all Korean food here!

I ate here a few months ago and forgot to leave a review - the people who work here are very kind, and the food is amazing. The galbi was some of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this for any and all Korean food!

Friendly service and large portions! The haemul pajeon (seafood-studded pancakes) were DA BOMB!
