24 Best Korean Restaurants in Columbus

“phenomenal food. great atmosphere“

“This is my second time eating at a K-Pot and their standards are phenomenal. It's always a comfortable wonderful and fun time with great staff. Ahura was our server and they did a killer job with everything. I only have good things to say about this place“

“It was my first time going and it was AMAZING no joke! The level of spice it fantastic! Not bland AT ALL. You’re definitely in for a treat! I tried the Kimchi fried rice, the tteokbokki and the dal-jeong chicken! Definitely recommend and will be going back! The one thing I do wish they carried is the Korean lemonade pouches! That would definitely be a nice compliment to some dishes!“

“Delicious food and wonderful memories!“

“I can’t believe I waited this long to try Rubyne. To test this place, I started off with a gimbap which looked exactly as advertised and tasted even better than it looked which was a bright green flag. This was perfect for moments when I don’t care about dining experience and want to put on a show while munching on comfort food, this hit the SPOT. Food was always prepared within promised time, I never had to wait.

I’ve gotten this a few days ago and it’s been on my mind ever since. I got the dduk mandu soup this time and I was expected to be disappointed since it’s such a basic dish. However, this was so slap I know it’d hit even harder over the winter. I came for the dduk and stayed for the mandu. This was my first time having mandu and it looked different from what I’ve seen on the internet. The mandu was huge, the biggest dumplings I’ve ever had and also became the best I’ve had out of nowhere. Despite its size, the mandu was so tender it melted in my mouth, but firm enough to keep its shape. The flavor was sweet and so good, I couldn’t taste the distinctive meat taste to recognize which filling it was. The soup was so fragrant, this dish was easily a 10.

I’ve never been so passionate about a review before, I will eat through the rest of the menu now. This small business deserves much love!“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Every bite warrants an aggressive “MMMM”.

The dining room is closed, which is not advertised on Google. But that led to an opportunity to check out the Columbus park of roses, which was a beautiful place to devour this scrumptious meal of bibimbap, kimbap, bean paste stew, and kimchi pancake.

This restaurant is inside a grocery store, you order at the cash register in front. You are given a ticket to take back to the kitchen. For us, it was a 10-15 minute wait.“

“Nice little restaurant serving traditional Korean fare. I'm half Korean and I visited South Korea earlier this year. Everything tasted very good. They have a fairly diverse menu that I'm sure I'll explore over the coming years. The banchan offered, even as a single diner, was respectable. I will say, their simple salad with a sweet soy based dressing was a bit too sweet. The sugar was not well disolved, as I could feel the grains of the sugar as I ate the salad, not ideal. But everything else was quite tasty. I had the galbi. The marinade was exactly as you'd expect, no surprises here. The meet was tender and the serving was enough. A bit pricey, but that's the world we live in these days. The kimchi was well fermented and sour, fortunately, that's my preference for kimchi anyways. I look forward to visiting again!“

“The chicken was absolutely delicious. It was crunchy on the outside, very juicy and tender on the inside and was not loaded with grease. The prices may shock you, but you get so much food it is so worth it!
I had the original wings with a side of Soy Garlic sauce. My son had boneless honey garlic with a side of ranch. The ranch was so creamy and added to the experience. I also greatly enjoyed the pickled radish. Our waitress was pleasant, quick to top off our drinks and very helpful when asked questions. You can also taste any sauce flavor before committing to an order- highly recommend!“

“Food was made very fast. Workers are nice and polite but the food was a bit dry than usual. Usually better but overall it was good

Parking: Theirs plenty of parking sports in the public garage so u don’t have to worry about getting towed“

“Honest review
**rush hours can get busy, pretty small place (can accommodate bigger parties), but about 7-8 tables that sit 4 people, more like a Korean pub

Free parking in a shared parking plaza, kid friendly, clean and modern look, provides plastic gloves for eating chicken

FYI despite the brand name, every Korean chicken store have sight different tastes/menu.

We got the Garlic Soy Tikkudak and Original Fried Chicken. I have to say that I have had CM chicken before in Socal multiple times and I honestly was a bit disappointed with this Columbus branch. Don't get me wrong it was alright. I mean if I was craving Korean fried chicken in Columbus then I guess, but the tikkudak was soggy and not crispy when they advertised "extra crispy and crunch." Plus the Garlic soy sauce was like a soy barbecue, ketchup taste which was disappointing cause I didn't taste the garlic at all. I guess it could be the charcoal grill, but still not the classic garlic soy that I remember it being. The classic Original fried chicken was tender and crispy (not bad), but too bready. The breading for the crispiness was overly thick which reminded me of corn flakes. Interesting cause the garlic soy had a thin layer of breading which made it soggy. Not consistent? I don't know. They forgot my pickled radish at first, but thankfully the server brought it before I asked. I like how their pickled radish (slightly on the sweeter end) cleans the oil from the chicken.

Garlic Soy Tikkudak: 5.5/10
Original Fried Chicken: 7/10
Pickled radish: 9/10

Not bad, but I don't think I will be craving CM chicken for a while since my expectations were not met from previous experiences. I will try it again later down the road.

Parking: Not that many spots since it is a shared plaza“

“Went for lunch with friend. seated immediately but take longer to come back and check on us. The meals was delicious and large portion. The dinning room appears clean and bright. The price is reasonable. i would really to anyone that like Korean food“

“There's a big order screen when you get to the counter, it's straightforward. I ordered a medium soy garlic chicken w/ steamed rice. The chicken was made hot and I only had to wait a few minutes, plus the lady behind the counter was very kind. The food was delicious including the rice. I also ordered the iced dabang coffee before I left and it's good (I took a few bites and sips before snapping the photos). Dine in area was clean and there are napkins, utensils and an assortment of condiments at the counter. I had the corn dogs before and I recommend the cheddar + sausage w/ potatoes. Great little food joint at the corner of the food hall and I'll be returning here to dine whenever I revisit the mall.“

“Service was great and the food was delicious!!“

“Order this place on Uber eats the first time. Second time I did a pick up order. Both times food was fresh and really good! I order this bbq chicken bowl. Definitely my new spot. Very healthy options. Portion can be a little bigger for $15 a bowl but other than that will order from again.“

“Awesome sushi ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I never leave reviews, but I had such a great experience that I am inspired to let others know this is a place you MUST check out!
I was in Columbus for work and dining alone. The host & bartender were so friendly that I immediately felt at home! I sat at the bar and was memorized by the Sushi Chef working his magic. The food and libations blew me away, along with the cool atmosphere. I ordered the spicy soy edamame, Sakura Roll & Toro Nigori. I highly recommend you stop by this awesome neighborhood establishment. You won't regret it :)“

“Food is terrific ?++

There is only one server, though he is superb. Food takes a long time to prepare. So overall you would have to wait a bit longer than in other places.

The place is a bit away from the main street so it's not at the most convenient place. The lighting is a bit dark. On the other hand, it's very quiet, unlike some high-end restaurants nearby.

With all of the above, the most important thing is the food: it's too good so we used this place as our cafeteria during our week-long stay in Columbus!!!

And the price is reasonable, unlike some high-end places nearby!“

“I find it super popular whenever i’ve went. The wait can be a bit long depending on when you go, but it’s definitely worth it. The servers are amazing and super friendly. Fast service as well! the food here is great and it’s amazing for the price! I’ve done both the Bbq and hotpot, and i definitely recommend it! been here twice and will definitely be coming again!“

“I just love Genghis Grill. This one was different than I've tried in Tennessee and Colorado. I only didn't like the idea of choosing only 4 ingredients per dish in Columbus.Original Genghis grills allow us to make our own bowl choose our ingredients without any limit. but the food server was generous to let us choose more than 4 ingredients. Great service. Great food. It's 2 hrs run from my place but I'm always ready for Genghis Grill.“

“Thank you BIBIBOP Asian Grill on 5th Ave. in Grandview for supporting #BlackLivesMatter You made my day today <3 The workers there are super sweet humans.“

“I recently visited Myungrang Hotdog in Columbus, and it was quite an interesting experience. The Korean hotdogs were good, but not mind-blowing. What stood out to me, though, were the sauces – they were definitely the highlight and added a great flavor to the hotdogs.

The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. If you're looking to try something different and enjoy experimenting with flavors, this place is worth a visit. Overall, it’s a unique spot with a good vibe, but the taste might not blow you away.“

“Smaller portions than most sushi spots but ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I’ve had. The atmosphere is pretty and upscale. The staff was efficient but not the friendliest although it was quite busy. The spring rolls were absolutely the best I’ve ever had too.“
