“Love the fried chicken! Such wonderful attention to detail in the food, packaging, and service.“

“Great good with great value“

“Awesome food served by great staff.“

“The place is really small! Not suited for a large group. Got seated outside. A little noisy with all the foot traffic and cars.

Food was really good! Got JJ noodles and it was really good. Good portions. Could have used more pork. Also got the whole chicken (snow cheese) and it was really good as well. Nice and crunchy! Would have liked some more sauce with it or to dip on the side. And could have used more mu or radish pickles.

Service. Unfortunately it was really busy for Tulip Festival weekend. And it was quite a wait for the food to come.

There was one young waitress who was really friendly and bubbly that kept us entertained/engaged. Don’t get her name.

Would go again!“

“Korean House Restaurant is a comforting, reliable spot for authentic Korean food. The banchan is fresh and generous, and everything comes out piping hot—perfect for a cozy meal. We loved the rich stews and sizzling BBQ plates, full of deep, home-style flavor. Service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming, great for families or a relaxed dinner with friends. If you’re craving classic Korean comfort food, this place hits the spot.“

“Vegan, gluten-free options! 🥰 Food was fresh and delicious. You can buy their kimchi (2 types) and so, so good. Never thought I would find gluten-free vegan Korean dishes in Ottawa. So glad you are doing this! 🙏“

“This place was very conscientious about dietary restrictions. Gluten free menu for the celiacs, and aware of cross contamination issues, will prep carefully for you. They’ve also got tamari sub for soy sauce. i am so happy when I can eat out safely somewhere 🙌“

“The atmosphere is a little bit of a turn off for me, their tables are made of a circular slab of wood on top of a oil barrel, theirs usually flies flying around. But on the other hand, their fried chicken may or may not be some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. As for the service, I have no complaints about it.“

“Delicious little Japanese restaurant. Lots of variety besides sushi and daily specials. Busy at lunch time and minimal seating. Staff were very friendly and curteous. Clean restaurant. I had the Wes special salmon pike bowl, my companions had the vegetarian lunch and the mixed sushi lunch. We also shared the spicy tuna roll. All were delicious and well priced. I will be back!!“

“the food was tasty but I was upset with the kimchi fried rice. it was black due to soy sauce instead of red because of the kimchi. japche was good though“

“Had a great experience at Koreana Restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The bulgogi was tender and well-seasoned, and the side dishes were a perfect addition to the meal. Portions were generous, especially with the meat. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. Everything came out quickly, and the staff made us feel right at home. Strongly recommend!“

“The quality of food is still the same, and my friend and I enjoy very much. It is the service that I have problem with: extensive wait time due to tables are not cleaned and ready, poor management on the floor (yup, the cleaning of the table is part of this problem). The floor staff should prioritize what should be done first and what's next (although there are only two guys on the floor). Changing the large portion of the restaurant to be the all-you-can-eat bbq is a bad move, and the choice is so limited makes me regret the first and only time when me and my girlfriends had the bbq. I hope they can be flexible on yhat.“

“Amazing service when Uber eats messed up. They delivered the missing food themselves👍🏼“

“I love Raon Kitchen's kimchi. it's not as salty as the store bought ones and tastes amazing. it's a staple item in my fridge. I've recently tried the gochujang paste and it's also wonderful. Hana's service is outstanding. We're fortunate to have Raon in Ottawa.“

“great staff...remarkable unique corn dogs“

“First time here, Panini and soup was unreal. Like everyone else it's a little hard to find. When you go in the lobby your auto instinct is to take the elevators to the right, but no go left and you will see the sign and the stairs right beside. Busy place to do you know it's good.“

“The best kimchi! Along with all your Korean grocery needs! #downtownbank #supportsmallbusiness #sharethelove“

“Excellent, fresh, sushi. Service was quick, orders were accurate and staff were friendly.“
