33 Best Korean Restaurants near South Salt Lake

“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.“

“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“

“Best tteokbokki I ever had in Utah! Great addition to Chinatown area! Affordable price for big portion! What I love about their rice cake is that it doesn’t harden even when I took it home. Really good variety of flavor, spicy level, and side dishes! My favorite is the rose tteokbokki with giant rice cake adding cheese on top! Pair it with fish cake soup, fried dumplings, or fried seaweed rolls!
Only cons is how small and limited seats are at the place.“

“I was here yesterday afternoon, the waiters were very kind, especially the guy who served me, he was attentive to whether we needed anything and whenever he asked us if we were okay, he told us he would be at the front in case we wanted anything else (the skinny guy)

The only thing I didn't like very much was the variation in the music. I think they should put more songs in English and not just in Korean, because there were a lot of Americans and not all of us like Korean music.“

“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!“

“New owners took over a few months ago, and they definitely made it much better!! I felt like the previous owners were trying to cater to non-Koreans too much, where as now I feel it's very authentically Korean.
I tried the chicken porridge and was blown away by how good it is!! I will definitely be back with friends to try the chicken!!
If you've come before and were disappointed, I urge you to come back and try it again!!!“

“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“

“i’ve tried this restaurant in many different locations but i’d say this one is absolutely the best one out of all the locations i’ve tried.
the food was so delicious and good portion
i was able to share it with my boyfriend who eats a lot and we barely finished it. the owner lady was so kind and she made sure everything was good. 10/10 highly recommended!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

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

“I used Bumblebees for catering for a work event and ate at their restaurant. Both services were fantastic! They were extremely easy to work with and accommodating various food restrictions. The feedback from the team was wonderful; people were eager to take leftovers and requested we cater from them often! I will 100% use their catering services again!

Their restaurant is great as well. Delicious, fresh ingredients and creative fusions. Their meats are cooked just right. The atmosphere/decor is not particularly exciting or unique, but that doesn't matter when the food is so good! Absolutely would recommend.“

“Visiting Salt Lake from Idaho and had to try Korea House for authentic Korean cuisine. We were not disappointed either with the food or the kind & friendly server. The flavors and textures were a perfect balance like something you'd expect right out of "Kimchi Family". 고맙습니다“

“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 :)“

“We called ahead and order we're only about 5 minutes away they said it would be 15 minutes. We paid the asked us to pull around and wait a little bit. I ended up having to take my kids to go to the bathroom, and they saw that I had pulled into a parking stall. When we came back they have the food ready and said they tried to find me. They went up and beyond to make sure I got my food.“

“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 rice was a little crunchy I don't know if it's supposed to be like that but other than that it's awesome, I asked for extra sauce, and some places are like meh with extra sauce, but this place game me EXTRA sause
So I was very happy“

“This takes me back to a simpler time. In my childhood in Russia, we had little food and were emaciated from starvation. Thanks to cupbop I will never again feel that pain. Naz Drovia!
The service was pretty good, but I don't love the interior design. Doesn't remind of China.“

“Fantastic food, great service. Luckily I understand the business plan behind 'all you can eat', so I paced myself and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I was however a bit disappointed that I couldn't be there for Mr Shabu's altercation with I can only assume an overly entitled Yelper. Perhaps next time.“

“limpieza, rapidez , amabilidadn orde. etc.“

“My wife and I were our way to the Maverick Center, and she wanted some sushi. I saw the sign, and it turned out to be some of the most exquisite tasting sushi we've ever had. We'll definitely be returning. Next time, we'll order from the Korean menu.
I'll also note that our server was the most friendly and attentive waitress we've had in a LONG time she was amazing. This place deserves more than 5 stars!
Oh, one more thing, the prices are great too. You can easily take the whole family.“

“This is my new favorite restaurant! The rice bowls are huge, I get two meals out of it. The food is delicious and so flavorful. The Sweet and Tangy Chicken with a fried egg, and Mandoo is what I have gotten every time. It’s so good and I highly recommend!“

“I recently dined at Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup, and I couldn't be more impressed! This unique concept offers a delicious twist on traditional Korean BBQ, and it definitely exceeded my expectations.

The first thing that caught my attention was the vibrant and inviting atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and eager to help with menu recommendations. I opted for the beef bulgogi bowl, and it was absolutely mouthwatering! The beef was perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection, with a wonderful balance of savory and sweet flavors.

What really stood out was the freshness of the ingredients. The veggies were crisp, and the rice was fluffy—everything felt so wholesome. I also loved the customizable options; I added some spicy kimchi that took the dish to the next level!

The portion sizes are generous, making it great value for the quality of food. Plus, the convenience of enjoying Korean BBQ in a cup is just brilliant!

Overall, Cupbop offers a fantastic dining experience that combines bold flavors with a fun, casual vibe. I can't wait to go back and try more menu items. Highly recommend!“

“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! : )“
