10 Best Korean Restaurants in Nashville

“Always good! The real deal.“

“The food here was DELICIOUS!! I had the beef bulgogi as well as a few dishes to share with my family who were visiting from Taiwan. They also thought the food was phenomenal. I wasn’t expecting such good seafood from a land-locked city! The atmosphere was very relaxing and inviting to all customers. I felt like I could spend all day at that restaurant. Not to mention the fantastic service. This is a family owned restaurant which means the food is made with live and care. My beef bulgogi was super delicious along with the rice noodles. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant!!“

“We wanted to eat Korean in Nashville and this place is one of the few places that open on Sunday. The Korean food here in Nashville has more flavors than the previous place we tried at Destin.

The server ladies all were so nice here. The beef tofu soup has sufficient amount of beef. The Jajangmyeon was decent. The Tteokbokki does not come with fish cake, decent. The fried Mandu is crispy.“

“When I come to the Farmers Market I really only go for two restaurants and this is one of them. I get the ramen beef bowl l, it's soo good. I only wish they would give a little more meat and veggies to the portion. Other c than that delish.“

“My friends and I tried ON;DA, a new Korean restaurant in town, and we were really impressed. The atmosphere inside is bright, airy, and welcoming—perfect for a relaxed meal.

I ordered the seafood scallion pancake, and it was absolutely fantastic. Honestly, it’s the crispiest, fluffiest, and thickest Korean seafood pancake I’ve ever had. It’s easy for a thick pancake to end up soggy or for a thin one to feel floppy, but this one hit the perfect balance—crispy all the way through with great texture. The dipping sauce was amazing too—I really wish I knew what was in it!

My friend ordered some stir-fried noodles that were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the kalbi beef was tender, juicy, and beautifully seasoned. All the small side dishes were great as well. The kimchi could maybe use a little more soaking or spice for a stronger flavor, but that’s a small note in an otherwise outstanding meal.

Service was fast and friendly. They even provided a jug of cold water for the table, which I appreciated, and our food came out surprisingly quickly—especially for a Sunday brunch rush. Overall, ON;DA is a fantastic new addition to the area, and I’ll definitely be back.“

“Amazing food! Everyone in our group loved the food. Authentic Korean food approved by my Korean mother in law! Get there early because it’s a small space, however they will accommodate larger groups, if they have the space. We had 6 one Friday night and 8 one Monday for lunch.“

“Food is incredible!! Service is great! We tried the hamachi, crispy tuna, and salmon - all excellent. Salmon was our fave. We also ordered dumplings, truffle Mac n cheese and kimchi risotto. The kimchi risotto is a must try! Drinks were great too. Will be back!“

“Great service and wonderful food.“

“I've drove by many times by and i never see it open, up until now. Perhaps I've been in many places here in Nashville to express my humble opinion but I must say, this is the best and authentic Japanese place I've eaten! May not look fancy and/or out of date but I can assure that the food isn't! Stop by, you would like it I'm sure of it.
When we got there, we saw a few tables with empty plates, this speaks louder that words honestly lol“

“Their kfc chicken wings are fantastic !! we live in AL and we drove 3 hours to TN to get here, sooo worth it!! The staff are always so Nice and welcoming. 5 stars all day“
