11 Best Korean Restaurants near Nashville

“This was my first experience with Korean cuisine. The servers were very helpful in showing how to properly prepare the dishes. I was with my daughter, son-in-law, and my 13 month old granddaughter. All the staff were friendly and welcoming to us all and so attentive to our baby girl. We will go again.“

“I found this restaurant by chance while on a business trip to Nashville for work. The owner was friendly and the food was delicious, so my guests were satisfied with the restaurant.Stir-fried squid and pork bulgogi,The kimchi pork belly has a slightly sweet taste, and the tripe hotpot is delicious without being spicy or sweet.“

“Excellent food; kim chi had good flavor balance and fermentation, and most of the other sides were also good, kim chi pajeon was very tasty, meats were good (grilled at the table). Also too-easy-to-drink soju selection. Will definitely go back next time I'm in town.“

“There are not enough good words or space to truly discuss this place. It is amazing every time. The ladies are excellent at helping you pick out something to eat and hilarious also. My wife had the Japchae and I can't remember the spelling of what I had but truly loved it. The portions are huge. If you leave there still hungry it's your own fault.Vegetarian options: They have plenty of vegetarian and even vegan options.“

“Bowl & Roll is a hidden gem! Located inside the Nashville Farmers Market building (northwest section), it is Korean fast food. They have a selection of noodle or rice hot dishes, plus a variety of kimbop (Korean version of sushi). Although you don't get the traditional multiple side dishes of various vegetables, you do get your food in a hurry. Service is very friendly. You eat in a food court, and there is an ice cream shop next to it. ;)“

“Since moving to Nashville it's been hard to find good Asian food of any kind, but today there was great success. I found this little place about a 10 minute walk from where I work, and it is my new go-to spot for lunch. The food was fantastic, the service was quick, and the price was good. I'll be back to try something new at least once a week!“

“This is a hidden gem in Nashville. Such great sushi and a really nice, quiet atmosphere. I've come here a few times now and have always enjoyed my meal and the service. A favorite spot for sushi in Nashville and a place I will return to again and again!“

“Best Korean Food in the Southeast! The Bulgogi was absolutely delicious! Fresh and flavorful ingredients prepared to perfection in generous portions. The KFC is out of this world and will change your life. The Atmosphere and Team members also 5 Star and give great recommendations! Most importantly, this is definitely a child friendly dining option!!“

“Babo will always be on my list of local favorite places to meet up with friends and take out-of-town visitors. The vibes are solid and chill, the food is deliiiiiiicious (I want to be buried with that pork katsu), and the menu is well-priced for Nashville. Also, like, can we talk about the barley tea? It gets me every time.“

“The heftiness and taste of their hot chicken tacos on romaine lettuce with their very special kimchi slaw really hit the spot. I would recommend getting the beef tacos, Korean style, on lettuceinstead of corn tortilla. It also comes with the kimchi slaw and it would be even better with the same hot sauce on this taco. I don’t personally prefer the house creamy sauce that comes on either taco. Fried rice comes in a large portion and is pretty good. Thank you to the owners and staff for my dream lunch I can’t wait to return. The hot chicken plate is also a very, very good dish!“

“We love this restaurant! We went around 7pm on a Wednesday, and were seated right away. The service is excellent and they are very attentive. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and my husband got beef bulgogi bento box. When I say it's a bunch of food, trust me! There's sooooo much! Each box comes with your choice of 4 rolls, we both got the California roll, veggie and shrimp tempura, soup and salad, two crab cream cheese rolls, rice and your entree. All of the items were delicious! It was so much food, that we took all of our many entrees home. The leftovers were delicious too! The restaurant has plenty of parking, and a decent amount of tables. There is seating around the sushi bar too! We will be back!“
