Ordered 4 items total (2 entrées and 2 side dishes). The food took about 1.5 hours to come out, with long gaps between dishes, and we never received the second entrée at all, even though the order was repeated back to us.The waiter never checked on our table or offered refills, never got a water refill, even though they were checking and refilling the table next to us. When I asked for a to-go box, it was never brought, and I had to get one myself from the bar. Overall, the food was very mid and the customer service was poor. Would not recommend and wouldn't come back.

The food was delicious and great flavor. It's a top ten for me. The hostess went the extra mile.

I finally got to try Onda and I was not disappointed. We started with the chicken wings, seafood pancake, the kimchi rice balls, and the veggie dumplings. They were all so good with lots of flavor and easy to share. Everyone got their own entrée - I had the udon noodles and I would definitely order it again. The Milkis cocktail was very good if you like tequila. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough! I can't wait to go back and try more.

Very much enjoyed my visit to Onda! I got the Bimbimbop and it was spectacular! So many flavors and textures in one bowl! Served with a friendly smile and FAST. I will be back, for sure. My only criticism is that I remember when this place was an American pub, and the decor is exactly the same...no real homage to Korea in the place that I could see. But otherwise so yummy!

Wonderful place, great service, fantastic food! Date night or just a nice dinner. We did family style and all shared a bunch of options!
Came here to grab dinner with some friends. The food was just okay. Loved the korean fried chicken wings , as well as the short ribs, those were definitely my fav. The fried rice & udon noodles were okay just a little bland. The vibe was super nice. Service was not the best. Our waiter only checked on us like 2/3 times and we were out of water majority of the time we were there, and she was no where to be seen when we tried asking for more; it was also not a busy night at all, there were 2 other groups inside & 1 outside.

I don't do reviews often. Only when my experience is really really bad or really really good.. Onda was really really good! One of my favorite dinners I've had in Nashville. We've had very expensive dinners that didn't come close to our very reasonably priced meal here. Both of our dinners (beef bolgogi and L.A Kalbi) were delicious - when choosing again I'd go bolgogi for the bigger meal. We had the kimchi arancini for an appetizer and it blew us away. One of my favorite appetizers that I can remember. Our drinks, The orient and Al bam were both very good as well. All came in under $100, which is a bargain for how great everything was. Absolutely recommend coming here.
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.

One of the worst restaurant experiences we’ve ever had. Went with a group of 6 and felt so unwelcome the entire time. This was a birthday dinner and by the end, the birthday girl just wanted to go home. The hostess, server, and bartender kept staring at our table and talking about us. The server behaved like she hardly wanted to service our table. The food was barely mediocre and I had the worst lychee martini I’ve ever had in my life. The space itself is really nice, however the service and bad food made the experience horrible.

I don't know if it was an off night or what. Food was okay but took forever to arrive, some of our orders got mixed up, and server either didn't know enough about menu items or misguided a couple of us on drink selections. They were not busy at all, so I'm not sure what the issue was - but even with the few who were there, sound echoed. Food was good, even with mixed-up orders - service was not. Server was nice, which helped, but needed more training on menu and I really can't explain why our orders took so long.
