7 Best Korean Restaurants near Milwaukee

“The best Takoyaki we've had since we had it in Osaka. Really delicious food!“

“Arden was a great server. I see lots of reviews about poor and slow service ours was great! It seemed like all the tables in our section had prompt service and got food in a timely manner. We had a dumpling app. It was out with in 7 minutes of ordering it. The soju was great and the 2 dishes we had were very good. We took our time eating. Our main courses were on the table with in 20 minutes. We were not rushed and enjoyed ourselves. There was 2 of us and we had a relaxing meal at a nice relaxing pace and we were out in a 1hr 20 min. Great place to go before a show in the area or any other event.“

“Good food and it came out really fast, great server too“

“I adore this restaurant and the people who run and operate this little gem. I can't speak to much of the Chinese food, that's not why I go there. I go there because I'm half Korean and I want KOREAN FOOD. And they make some of the best.
The jjajangmyeon (black bean sauce) is the best I've ever had. Ever. It's thick, not runny and has all kinds of the right veg.
I love ojingeo bokkeum (squid stir fry) and this is my favorite take on it anywhere. I'm not even sure what they do, but it's fantastic.
The jjampong (seafood soup) is flavor and seafood-packed.
Really, all the Korean dishes are delicious.

This place is owned by an older Korean couple and I think their staff is mostly Hispanic. For those that think the staff is rude... those guys prep, cook, order, serve and clean. And English is none of their first languages. Yet, they deal with crappy customer attitudes too, and I've never seen them return it. I've gotten there shortly before close, when they are cleaning up, they do not hesitate to make your order. I've had miscommunication over the phone about an order, so instead I went in and ordered in person. It took 15 min for 4 entrees. That's it. So maybe they aren't being rude, maybe they didn't understand you or vice versa. As for tasteless, like I said, we don't order the Chinese food normally. But I can tell you their fried rice is KOREAN, not Chinese, therefore different and definitely not the same flavor. Or order the forbidden rice and freak out over the purple color!
If you had a bad experience, please, stay away. Let the rest of us enjoy the hard-working, lovely people that turn out some of the best Korean food in the city.
PS. My kid LOVES the sweet and sour chicken and japchae, for those looking for kid-friendly items.“

“it was my first ever taste of Korean Food and I absolutely 💯 Loved it!“

“Honestly, this is probably the best Korean food in the Milwaukee area. The pork and the beef are both phenomenal. It’s a quick bite, not unlike a chipotle or qudoba, and the food is amazing. I’ve been to the now closed Char’d and I want to say it was called New Seoul on the lower eastside, but this is leagues better. The kimchi is good. The purple rice is good. The meat is good. I grew up in a half Korean household and this is the closest I’ve had to my mom’s cooking.“

“If you like delicious food, variety and spicy options then this is for you. You select either bbq or hotpot or both. Then pick meats/veg/noodles and cook them up in front of you. The spicy hotpot was amazing. I tried a lil of everything and it was amazing. I will be going back very soon.“
