Life changing pork rib kimchi stew! My soul was soothed... We ordered a cocktail, wings, the stew, and the bulgogi. Generous portions, so come hungry! Everything was fabulous, including the trendy atmosphere. Even when they got busy, I still felt well taken care of.

Walked down to midtown and wanted something between the tourist traps and upscale like Halls. Ended up trying Onda, which was nicer inside than expected from the exterior. Service was very friendly and wasn't too busy. Fried rice appetizer was surprisingly light, and along with the kimchi, were the highlights of the meal. We also ordered the beef noodles along with the spicy bulgogi. These were decent dishes, but they were both just one note throughout the entirety of the dishes. A little crunch, a little sour, a little something to break up the singular flavors would have been nice. May try again, but have gotten a little spoiled from various Korean Hotpots with so many flavors and options.

Honestly so shocked that this place isnāt more known. The food is spectacular and the staff are very nice people. My goal is to try everything on the menu but i keep getting same things each time.

We recently tried this new Korean spot in Nashville and had a great experience! The food was delicious, and the wings were definitely the highlight for me ā absolutely the best. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared.
I did feel a bit bad for the servers since there were only two girls handling the whole place and running around nonstop, but they were doing their best and staying positive. They also have a bar with cocktails, which we didnāt get a chance to try this time, but weād love to check it out on our next visit. Overall, a great new addition to Nashville!

Iām Korean, and I could tell the food was truly authentic. I was only passing through the city and didnāt expect to find something this authentic in Nashville, but it was a pleasant surprise. We had kimchi galbijjim, sundubu ramen, and budae jjigaeāeverything was awesome, and the portions were generous.
Although the service could have been more attentive, Iād still love to come back.

Had such a wonderful first experience with my wife! The food was incredible, and our server was so engaging. We shared the bibimbap, which was fantastic, and it came with these amazing sweet potatoes and carrots,my wife particularly enjoyed. Their milk bingsooādelicate, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. Everything about it was perfect for me. I ended up taking my mom there too; she had spent some time in Korea during her army days and brought back her love for the food. When she tried it, she said it was exactly what sheād been craving.

Authentic new Korean restaurant. Everything here tastes very clean and fresh. Love the variation of K-pop music that plays and the clean yet cozy atmosphere.

We went in around 11:30 on a Sunday. It was completely empty. The decor, seating and bar, everything was gorgeous. The bathrooms are gender, neutral, and thereās one area to wash your hands. The bathroom had a weird odor to them that smelled of sewage mildly however the food itself was really great. My daughter got the appetizer and I got the beef Bulgogi. The kimchi was good. They pickled radish was good. The seaweed was not my favorite. The fish cakes were probably the worst Iāve ever had all in all. It was a solid Korean spot. Nothing to write home about but great service good atmosphere.

This was a terrible place for korean food. My family and I had the bulgogi, cheese corn, spicy pork bulgogi, and kimchi fried rice. The beef bulgogi had 0 seasoning. The kimchi fried rice was bland and soggy. The service was absolutely terrible. The wooden chairs were very uncomfortable to sit in after about 45 min. I would not recommend this place at all. To me this was a fake korean restaurant.
However we liked the decor of the restaurant and we were greeted promptly as soon as we walked into the door. This is only positive thing i can say about this place.

Ordered 4 items total (2 entrƩes 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 entrƩe 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 ordered Kimchi Kalbijjim for lunch. The meat was tender with savory kimchi, along with well-cooked side dishes and rice. Parking validation is available for those parking in Skyhouse Nashville garage right next to the building. Spacious two story place with cozy atmosphere.

If youāre looking for a chill spot in Nashville with real vibe ā check out Onda. They call themselves a āgroovy Korean restaurant & bar,ā and honestly, they hit that right on the head. Great for dinner, drinks, or even a little night out without the fuss.
We ordered Kimchi Galbijjim + some small plates and it was š„ ā bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and you can tell they care. The staff was super friendly and got us exactly what we asked for. Whether youāre with friends or on a date, this place just feels easy and fun. Iām coming back soon.
