32 Best Korean Restaurants near South Salt Lake

“The food and service were great! My husband got the bento box with 2 meat options, the shaved beef and pork belly, it was phenomenal! So flavorful. Really well balanced. I had the ramen, which was also sooo good. Really hit the spot. Would definitely recommend!“

“Their kimbap is my favorite! I haven’t tried a lot of the food they offer but their tteokbokki is pretty good, as well as their kimchi fried rice, although I do wish the pieces of ham were slightly bigger. Great place to go to if you are looking for Korean side dishes or food to go“

“A great restaurant open since 2019. The owner is from Korea and is very passionate about his food which is all delicious. Definitely order the Bibimbap! It's #6 on the menu. It's a stone bowl which is very hot in Cooks the food right in there and they serve the whole thing in the bowl.“

“WOW!! This place is such an exciting experience for the taste buds. They were giving samples of the rice cakes in their rose sauce and we decided we had to stop in for more, even though this was not our original reason for being in china town. The place itself is small, but it feels comfortable and welcoming. The flavors were bold, saucy, and customizable to your heat preference. The rice cakes were delicious- great texture and perfectly cooked. All the staff were courteous and attentive. Who we assume was the owner was so kind, and seemed so happy to be there. He was so likable and the passion for the restaurant was genuinely felt in our encounters with him. We cannot wait to go back with our kids since rice cakes are their favorite!“

“So this place is spartan but worthwhile-I enjoy a restaurant that is humble its decor but provides solid worthy meals. My wife and I were nostalgic for the iconic Dolsot Bibimbap, we were not disappointed. It came out with a furious scald on the white rice, with AMPLE proportion and many very nice appetizer starters.

If we lived closer -we would be regulars.“

“Lovely restaurant with very friendly staff. Came here with friends who recommended it after saying it was the best Korean food they had found in Salt Lake. I tried their recommendations for the lunch combo, the Beef Buligogi and the Soondubu Chigae. A great deal for the the variety of food you get. I’m probably a bad judge for this style of food but it was good and everyone enjoyed their meal. The metal cups and chop sticks were cool though!“

“Their vegetarian options were PHENOMENAL. I got the mushrooms with honey garlic sauce and the cauliflower with sweet soy sauce and I was blown away with every bite, they were so yummy. The mushrooms especially were insanely good. The coworkers I came with kept joking that they would become vegetarian too if it just meant eating dishes like that. They also really enjoyed their chicken. There were also several other vegetarian options, which is very nice.
The girl who took our order was very friendly and patient, and was happy to give us some great recommendations. The staff were very attentive in checking in with us to see if we needed anything, keeping the dining area clean, and even moving tables and chairs around for customers.
They were playing k-pop just loud enough that you could hear and enjoy it under conversation, but it wasn’t too loud, which I appreciated.
I’ve already told my whole family about this place and I will absolutely be coming back! I was very impressed with the quality of food and service here.“

“First i want to say, you cook your own food, so the one star review who said they got sick, LEARN TO COOK! This place is the best. My wife and i come here whenever we get the chance. The food, atmosphere, everything, is just great. We get hot pot and bbq each time. our go to dishes are the rib eye soup, and mine is the Tom yum. We get the black pepper pork, and short ribs without fail. Do not listen to the ones who complain about KBBQ because the truth is they dont understand or respect it. Go here, always.“

“delicious foods friendly atmosphere“

“Paik’s Noodle is a must-visit for foodies seeking an authentic Asian dining experience. Their Chilli Jjamppong is a spicy seafood noodle soup that’ll tantalize your taste buds. The broth is a perfect blend of heat and depth, with generous portions of seafood and veggies. The noodles are chewy and cooked to perfection, making every bite a delight. The restaurant’s cozy atmosphere and friendly service add to the overall positive experience. If you’re craving a hearty and spicy noodle dish, Paik’s Noodle is definitely worth a visit!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, went in with my kids and the service was exceptional.“

“Excellent cheese Katsu, excellent service, and the breading they use is better than any I have tasted. If you want a variety of flavors try the curry Katsu, and if you want something even more filling try the massive King Katsu.“

“Came in my first time today, I was a bit nervous since I haven't eaten Korean before. The guy was super cool and chill. The prices were good for sure. The food was really good, I ordered the kpop fried and the K-noodles. I really enjoyed the food!“

“Brianna is our server. She is awesome! What we requested for was alot of sides, she actually gave them! A little bum that they don't have the green apple soju. Replaced it with the Raspberry Bo Bun Ja! Which is actually good. Reminds me of dry red wine. She frequently came to ask us if we are still doing okay. We also ordered sushi the titanic and lion king was delicious!“

“Really nice people, food was AMAZING, I got the kko kko bop one of aka 6. And it was good, I also did a 3 on SPICY with btw!!!
You get to choose your own spicy level!!!!!

I also tried the level 1 and it was good too
( I found a bone in my chicken but that's how you know it's fresh so AWESOME)
IT ALSO HAS CABBAGE AND RICE AT THE BOTTOM AND IT'S JUST AMAZING!!!
I'd definitely recommend coming here!!!

Vegetarian options: I think you can minus meat + other things you don't want from what I can see

Parking: Tons of spots, really close too!!!

Kid-friendliness: It's kid friendly and kids will absolutely LOVE the food

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy get in and get out, tons of space and it's flat floor so it's easy“

“My father in law really wanted to bring the whole family here for his birthday and check it out for the first time. They're not really equipped to seat a bunch of people (it's definitely designed more for drive though), but they went way out of their way to make it work for us! Awesome service, enjoyed the galbi, and overall good experience with the fam.“

“Excellent food for the price.“

“the corn dogs were seasoned so well and tasted amazing. my order was wrong the first time and when i came up to the counter to fix it she gave me a free mini corn dog as well for the inconvenience which was so sweet!! will definitely come back :)“

“best food in town. friendly staff and great portion sizes“

“A hidden gem... This restaurant was surprisingly the best restaurant I’ve been to in a long while. Bok Bok chicken is the definition of a true (hole in the wall restaurant) if you are fortunate enough to stumble upon this restaurant you are surely to be surprised from the high caliber food this establishment is putting out for the public. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The fried tofu at 7.5 spice is very mild. Good flavor, but if you're looking for more heat I'd say 9 is a better option. It's closer to Sriracha, but not too spicy yet. The apple and strawberry flavored milkies are also pretty good and not odd tasting. The Korean corn dogs are best served with corn flakes, and the all cheese weighs a decent amount. Overall, good value and the taste is worth the price.“

“This place is my favorite now. Made sure we were taken care of. Even when i said i didn’t need anything the waiter saw that i liked the kimchi so he asked if i wanted more. I did, I was just shy (Ｔ＿Ｔ）but awesome place“

“The West Valley location is the place for quick reliable Korean. The staff go above and beyond to welcome you and provide top notch food and service.

Vegetarian options: Their doochi bop is exceptional.

Dietary restrictions: We love their selection of vegan and gluten free menu options.“

“my family and I really enjoy Mr. Shabu. We have mainly been for the sushi, and have really liked it. The Playboy Roll, which is sort of my go to roll, I'm torn if they are number 1 or 2 when it comes to the place I like it the most. but we have enjoyed many other rolls their. but we also appreciate their wall of ramen which is great for my daughter who is trying to like more sushi, but isn't all the way there yet. it make it easy for her to still get a full dinner, but also try some sushi as well. Any ways, if your looking for some good sushi, give Mr. Shabu a try.“

“SOOO GOOD! Definitely a five star experience.“

“I love everything there, food, service, location 😋 😍 You won't regret going. From the out it does not look as a Restaurant but it makes it more nicer when you discover the inside of it!!!“

“All the food is always fresh and good.“

“We ate here before a movie. Food is good. but I think I would prefer less rice and more noodles. Also the portion size was HUGE! For me, this wasn't an advantage this time (since we were going to a movie) and I'd like to suggest smaller portion size options in the future.“

“This was my first time eating here and it was delicious. The staff was patient while we picked out our meals and kindly explained the difference in options. Will definitely be back!

Vegetarian options: Great options for vegetarians!“

“Everything is just perfect. the environment, food, staff, the alcohol.. amazing!“

“Good prices and good food. My favorite is the piggy bop, and my husband LOVES the pot stickers. I'm not kidding, one time my husband had a bad day and I told him I got pot stickers from Cup Bop, and immediately he was looking forward to getting home to have some. :) I tried the yogurt drinks and those are pretty good, too, especially the peach one. So if you want some yummy Korean food, or if you want to cheer up your pot-sticker-loving husband, give this place a try. (Just don't get lost in the level-4 sauce!)“

“We love ordering from So Grill Korean BBQ and Sushi. The sushi has way more sashimi in it than any other sushi restaurants in the valley which surprises me, and they are delicious! Huge menu to select from with sushi, appetizers and their daily Korean BBQ buffet. Great presentation of food with decent taste.
Hostess and restaurant owner are always very friendly and smiling! Thanks for the great food! : )“
