12 Best Korean Restaurants in Nashville

“Korean is my favorite cuisine. I was delighted to find this wonderful restaurant. It's in a small strip mall, the exterior is not inviting. Ambiance inside was very comfortable, very clean. Service was professional. One thing I use to judge ethnic restaurants is how many people of that ethnicity are there. Of the several tables occupied I was the only nonasian diner, so I assume authenticity. I had seafood soft tofu stew. It was delicious. Korean restaurants typically serve banchan side dishes, this served them, each was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to experience excellent Korean dining. I'll be back!“

“I loved the ambiance of the place. I was greeted with great service and even greater aroma of the food that was being cooked in the back. Service was quick and very compassionate of their work, and the food reflected such compassion. I recommend anyone who is in the Nashville area to come and try it out.“

“Every time we’ve come to Tofu House, we’ve been greeted with nothing but kindness! The owners will remember you very well and be very hospitable. There are no servers here, just hard working owners bringing out food and tending to everyone.

My favorite dish is the Spicy Galbi and Bulgogi! Very flavorful and not too sweet. The meat is very tender and filled with lots of flavor, mainly garlic, sesame, and gochujang. Comes piping hot with many banchan. The kimchi and kkakdugi are very good and homemade. Plenty of flavor profiles to mix with dishes.

The Sundubu-jjigae is amazing as well! Very savory and spicy due to the red pepper flakes giving it a nice kick. It comes with an egg you can crack on top!

Bless the people that run this place. Now we must come here at least every week!“

“For the price, the kimbap was more and better than it should have been.

Made fresh in front of you by the guy running the place, this was better than some sit-down Korean places we've eaten at.

Highly recommend.“

“The food was absolutely delicious. It reminded me of places like Thursday Kitchen and Mokyo in NYC, which I love going to with my friends for Asian tapas. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for flavorful Asian fusion tapas in Nashville!“

“Had a wonderful experience on a Saturday afternoon.
We got plain Soju and our waitress showed us how to down a glass to unlock the food’s full flavor!
The beef kalbi, fried Mandu, and spicy udon noodles were indeed flavorful and delicious! And the spicy udon wasn’t too spicy.
Great experience.“

“I tried this restaurant for the first time a month ago and have already ordered it for delivery 3 times since then! Every dish is so full of flavor and a lot of fun to try. The Korean chicken jumbo tenders were definitely my favorite, with the spicy Buldak fried udon noodles coming in a close second. Everything always arrives warm, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend the kimchi fried rice too“

“Visited from Seattle to support Nash first KBBQ. Service, management, and food was great! Management slowly adding new side dishes and drinks to turn the exp more authentic. Haven’t tried the Hotpot but they have a wider selection!“

“This was such a cute little place. I was visiting from another state and hapoend to find this place. There was just Nichole, working today and she was so sweet and kind. She worked hard to ensure everyone that was there was served and had their stuff filled. The food was delicious and super flavorful. The kimchi was so good, it was one of my favorites. I ordered the beef bulgogi udon bowl, and friend ordered the spicy bulgogi. The Banchan was delicious as well. Definitely reccomed this place.“

“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“
