25 Best Korean Restaurants near Upper Arlington

“so good. so delicious!! best of the best!!!!!!“

“The food here is amazing. Lot of Pan Asian dishes, plus great sushi at very reasonable prices. Everything's fresh and delicious.

The service is below average in that you should expect your server to forget a simple request at least once during the dining experience. Because some people order spicier food, the servers should really pay attention to which dish goes to whom. Definitely room for improvement.

However, the servers are polite and very sweet. For what it's worth.“

“phenomenal food. great atmosphere“

“I love this restaurant. The service is prompt and the staff are kind and they don’t come back to your table every 5 minutes asking you questions while you’re trying to eat. The food is incredible and the presentation is always beautiful.“

“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!“

“from all the servers to the food they prepared was such an amazing experience. very good prices for the quality of food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“Foodwise, Ordered a whole Classic Fired Chicken and red hot pepper sauce, which was hella spicy for me but tasted good, Chicken was fabulous 5/5, couldn't have somac cause I drove but next time imma max out CM chicken with somac.

Coleslaw, pinpoint tasting 5/5

Radish, I'm a bit picky eater when it comes to chicken, but radish, I become even more picky but I would give 5/5 with the home-made radish, sour yet refreshing, soooo good.

ETCwise, Staffs were very kind 5 /5
Atmosphere, loved the atmosphere, my buddies who loves K-pop enjoyed it too.
The whole crew I went with enjoyed every single thing and most definitely we're going back there again. 5/5“

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

“My husband and I have been on a Moonbowls kick lately. I am a gluten-free vegetarian, and finding food that fits my dieta needs can be challenging. Every order has been completely on point accurate 👌 The quality of ingredients NEVER disappoints!! Always so fresh, and the jasmine rice is cooked to perfection!Sesame ginger vinaigrette is very consistent in taste every time (I dislike when sauces/dressings that I enjoy don't taste consistent order to order).
Highly recommend!“

“Hangry for Korean bbq so we had to try the new PJ Hotpot, BBQ and Bar on Sawmill Road just south of 161. Nice big restaurant and plenty of tables. Each table outfitted with BBQ grill with six burners for hotpots. You have a manual control for the bbq grill temperature up to 385 but we kept ours around 365 to not burn our food. Plenty selection of meats, seafood and veggies to choose from. It’s all you can eat for each person. $32 pp for just bbq or just hotpot, but if you do both, it’s $5 more per person. They have robots to bring your raw food to your table. Our server was great, attentive and checked on us frequently. I never had to ask for more water. The orders for each meat or seafood plate are not big but the three of us went through five orders (4-5 plates each order) pretty quick. This place was fantastic and is a hidden gem for now.“

“Wow! Some of the best freshest sushi I’ve ever had and I’ve been all over the world so I know fresh sushi when I eat it! Beautiful decor and cozy inside. Great for a date night or dinner with friends as you are right in the heart of the Short North. I dined on a Wednesday night and it was busy! But our server did a fantastic job of checking in with us and updating us on any food or drink delays which is fantastic customer service!! Sushi fans of Akai Hana..You gotta try DOMO.. I think it’s game on for the best sushi in Cbus. Lmk what you think🍣“

“Honestly I haven’t found a place with food this good and service this good in a long time. There food is so tender and delicious and worth the price same with there drinks so good. The ladies there are so sweet and the cooks do an amazing job this has became a spot I come often with my husband and friends.

Vegetarian options: You can remove meat from literally almost all of it .

Kid-friendliness: The music is low there fish and it’s Quaint enough for kids to be there.“

“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.“

“Excellent fresh sushi - the cherry blossom roll is my favorite! 🍣“

“Some of the best hot dogs I've ever had. The breading they use is exquisite. One will usually be enough to fill you up, especially if you get one of the monster dogs or a side dish. Especially recommend the squid ink dog and when asked if you want sugar sprinkled on it, say yes.“

“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.“
