This cute little family owned restaurant has a homey and warm feel, which makes me feel comfortable whenever I go. You may not find the greatest selection of kbbq here but they do have platters of short ribs, spicy pork, bulgogi, and other basic korean bbq meats available (although they are on the pricier side). What I do enjoy is their selection of more authentic and harder to find Korean dishes, like Korean Black Native Goat Soup. Food ordered: 1. Tofu Soup (5/5)- I’ve tried the beef, seafood, and vegetable tofu soups and they are all delicious and have plenty of fillings. Tofu soup also comes with delicious banchan! 2. Bbq Short Ribs Plate (3/5) – Not going to lie, but this is more on the pricier side of dishes at Miga respective to other establishments. Why? For $29.99, I can go to an AYCE Kbbq restaurant and get way more meat. The short ribs were tasty and the meat was tender, but if I wanted more meat, I’d seek other places for more bang for my buck. 3. Spicy Pork (4/5) – I was scarred from spicy pork after having refrigerator burned ones from another Korean establishment in Fremont. Miga’s helped me regain my love for spicy pork. The only caveat was that the plate was so hot that some of the meat was scalded on the edges. Not a lot were like this so no biggie though. 4. Seafood Pancake (4/5) – Good seafood pancake with the standard sauce. 5. Korean Native Black Goat Soup (5/5) – Now, this is it. In the Chef’s Special section of the menu, you will find this special dish. This is a more traditional Korean soup made with Native Black Goat, which is only grown from Korea. Okay so I know what you are thinking, Goat has that pungent metallic taste, but I’m telling you, this does not! Complimented with fresh herbs and a clean and light broth with vegetables, this is a must try dish. Note: Miga has a combo meal choice which easily fills a party of 2. This comes with a tofu soup and another meat dish of your choosing.

Seo Ra Beol – Menu with Prices – 3040 Steve Reynolds Blvd, Duluth

Why does this place only have 3.5 stars??? SeoRaBeol is my go to restaurant whenever I want to have quality, authentic Korean food that tastes like back home. Each and every time I come here the ladies treat me like family and hook me up with extra this and that when I tell them how delicious it is. It is located in its own separate building off of steve reynolds blvd behind the arbys off pleasant hill. I will say they need to update the interior a bit as the furniture and walls look a bit dated. The restaurant is divided into 2 parts: the bbq side and regular restaurant/a la carte side. You really cant go wrong with either side. The bbq- with alot of korean bbq spots opening in the area, its hard to tell what real bbq is like back home in Korea. Seorabeol is the closest you will get to authentic korean bbq. That is, meat served per serving, always with lettuce and green onion salad along with red bean paste and pepper paste, plus other sides. We absolutely love their marinated beef ribs, insanely tender and perfectly seasoned. I mean, it is on the pricy side (around 30/pp I think) and this is not an unlimited price. The marbling on the beef ribs are really beautiful and it tastes so yummy, you can tell they use high quality beef. The restaurant side – I really cant complain about a single dish Ive ordered from here. The sides are always a surprise to me as they often serve pretty pricy items such as marinated crab and oysters. And they refill them too! My personal favorite dish is the bibim nengmyun (buckwheat noodles with spicy sauce) combo paired with the marinated beef ribs. Can you tell I love their ribs? Lol. I have also tried their stews and my personal favorites are the gopchang jeongol (spicy intestine stew) and the yumsotang (goat soup), really cant go wrong with either! I love love this place alot. I would 10/10 recommend this place to all my friends looking to get some authentic korean food in duluth.

Rice B B Go – Menu with Prices – 3291 Independence Pkwy #400, Plano

Great small size Korean restaurant. Super friendly greeting as I walked in to the restaurant as it is very traditional thing that Korean people do. I ordered the Bento Box on the menu. You have to order your dish at the counter. You have to do yourself on your drink and getting your silverwares to your table. While I was waiting on my dish, I tried the free two soups: miso with small diced tofu and the seaweeds soup. The miso was your blonde with small diced tofu. This soup needs some salts for tasting. The seaweeds soup is shredded seaweeds in a very light broth that could need some salt or other sauce such as soy sauce with vingeretta. My bento box has two meats that I had chosen were beef and spicy pork that were served with rice, salad, fruit and 2 dumplings as it is very common items inside the bento box. I started the fried fumbling. It was crispy and it was very tasty. Perfect seasonings inside for the two dumplings. The light soy sauce and vinger was balanced sour and salty. Side salad were from shredded cabbage in white and purple with a very light spicy mayo dressing. The spicy pork were cooked very tender with right amounts of spicy so it was too spicy. Beef needed more seasoning as it was missing something to make it as a wow factor like the spicy pork. The Kim Chi was very traditional with perfect balanced seasoning. A small price for a good meal for this community eaters. I give a 4 out of 5 stars.

WONJO Korean Cuisine Menu with Prices 515 W Fireweed Ln, Anchorage

Good Korean food in Anchorage! Who knew! Won Jo has a soft spot in my heart. The food served here is plain Jane, simple, Korean food that tastes like a Korean mother made in her kitchen. By no means is this anything close to haute cuisine, but the sort of food that you would get if you went to your Korean friend’s house for dinner. My parents and I came here twice to eat. In our two visits we had chicken bulgogi, beef bulgogi, bibimbap, doenjan jjigae (soybean soup), and soon tofu (tofu soup). All were very good and we had no complaints. My favorite item from Won Jo is their marinated tofu that comes as a banchan (side dish). It is oh so delicious! I could eat it up all day long. Because tofu is a bit of a luxury item in Anchorage, they couldn’t give me as much free refills as I would have liked (that you normally get in a Korean restaurant), but I was still very happy that they did give me an additional refill of marinated tofu. The service is prompt and friendly. If you’re looking for good simple Korean food because you’re tired of eating salmon, Won Jo is the place to go.

Jang Su Jang – Menu with Prices – 3645 Satellite Blvd, Duluth

I understand why this place is so highly rated. It’s GOOD and probably one of the best Korean restaurants I’ve been to ever. There are a few that have come close, but this place is definitely way up there for me. My bf and I went with another couple who are Korean and they told us that this is their top favorite place. I posted some photos on my insta-story and I had several people reach out telling me this is their favorite Korean restaurant in Atlanta too, so you KNOW it’s good and highly regarded. There was a bit of a wait, maybe 10-15 minutes, but it passed by quickly. The service was good, but it helps that they have buttons on each table to call when you need something. But even when we didn’t press the button, they came around occasionally to refill our waters when needed. _ wan mandu / steamed king dumplings The king of dumplings. These were hands down the biggest dumplings I’ve ever seen, and they were FULLY packed with filling. Perfectly steamed and the flavor was great. It relied on the actual ingredients of the filling rather than extra salt or MSG. Highly recommend ordering this. Also, these tasted HOMEMADE and not store bought, which made me really happy. _ seafood pancake This was very filling and was quite thicc (that’s what she said). This was great and was packed with seafood. I hate when I go to a Korean restaurant and get the seafood pancake with barely any seafood mixed in. Not today. I was very impressed with this. _ galbi jjim / stewed short rib HANDS DOWN my favorite part of the meal. The beef literally falls apart in your mouth, and the stewed veggies are so jam packed full of flavor from the sauce. An absolute must order. It was probably the most expensive thing we ordered, but it was also my #1 favorite entree. I’ve actually made this once before and NEVER had it in a restaurant, so I was really happy to finally get to try what it’s REALLY supposed to taste like. I’m happy to say, if I had my friends try it, they would’ve been impressed. _ bossam meal / pork shoulder with lettuce wraps The pork was tender, and the assortment of veggies to put in your lettuce wraps was great. I would consider this one of the traditional eats – putting meat, rice, and veggies in a lettuce wrap. It’s a great way to eat the meal, for sure! _ tofu and pork I’m actually not sure what the name of this dish is, but it was tofu and pork mixed with kimchi. It was great. The tofu actually was quite nice, especially if you mix the tofu with the pork. Absolutely delicious. This was probably also our only spicy dish, so it balanced quite nicely with everything else we had. _ banchan Obviously the banchan comes with your meal, and it comes with a huge assortment of things: two types of noodles (japchae being one of them), veggies, seaweed, the works. Can never go wrong with banchan, especially when they are willing to refill them! After tax and tip, it was about $40 per person. Not bad while being FULLY stuffed, while also being refreshed with a soju to share.

Volcano Soon Tofu – Menu with Prices – 2001 Coit Rd #300A, Plano

I don’t know why this place has such good reviews on here. I went here myself and let me tell you it was not as good as it looks. I usually don’t give bad reviews but I will give you my honest experience. I came here during lunch time with a family member and we both had tofu soup. I had the mushroom and spicy pork combo, and the other person had pork tofu. First off, I could tell the server was flustered. The restuarant was probably 50% or less full when we were dining. Our food came out and it was both the wrong type of soup. The server place the dishes in front of us and was making a mess. I saw the soup just swishing out of our bowls onto the table as she placed it down in front of us and she didnt even clean up the mess. Even though it was not much spill over, it was still a spill. I have no problem cleaning it up myself, but I mean for restuarant service, it is just something you should do as a service automatically. She says the dish is what we ordered but when we both actually stirred our soup around, the contents was all wrong. I recieved a seafood tofu soup instead of mushroom and the other girl got beef instead of pork. We had the server take it back to get the correct order. Presentation was sloppy as the seasoning they use was all over the top and sides of the bowl and the broth was all over the handles as well. What a mess. The soup was really bland and honestly not even worth my trip. The only reason I gave them some stars is bc the spicy pork was actually good, but for a place that is specializing in tofu soup and not having it good is just a straight up disappointment. Never coming here again.

Suh Sushi Korean BBQ – Menu with Prices – 165 E Boardwalk Dr, Fort Collins

Man… I had a craving for some Korean BBQ and this place hit the spot! When you arrive, you can choose between sitting at a regular table, a table where you can grill your meat; or the sushi bar (about 10 seats, I think). Prices for grilling your own meat at the table seem to be a bit more expensive PP; we opted for the other option. My kiddo is super spoiled and had sushi (yellowtail, salmon and shrimp nigiri); which was gobbled down, so take that as you will. Interestingly, the fish had some more cuts made into each piece. Not sure if its just aesthetics, maybe? What we ended up ordering to share included the seafood pancake (pajun) and japchae (stir fried glass noodles), which were both delicious. My only note on the pancake is that it broke apart easily due to the bulkiness of its ingredients. From the main entree menu, we got the Q4 LA-style short ribs, and the dolpan bibimbap. The bibimbap proved to be unnecessary as we were stuffed and had to take most of it home, but both dishes were irresistible. Like the seafood pancake, they both arrived on sizzling stone platters; we were each provided with a bowl of rice, and several banchan dishes (kimchi, spicy cucumber, spinach, pickled daikon, fried sliced tofu, etc). Definitely come hungry and ready to share lots of tasty dishes. Service was efficient and friendly.. there seems to be a good variety of sushi available as well, but it’d be better to come for the Korean food as I found the rolls and sushi to be pricier than other places we frequent in the area.

Joy Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 1455 Buckingham Rd, Richardson

A small and friendly hole-in-the-wall restaurant that is affordable and delicious! One of my favorite places to get homemade Korean dishes. The quantity and quality of food that you get for the price is completely unbelievable! A couple of dishes we’ve tried before are: – LA Galbi: this dish is generally pricey regardless of restaurant. At Joy Kitchen, the dish is $16, which is cheaper than most places that we’ve been to. In addition to the cheaper price, the quality of meat was amazing! They were thick, tender, and juicy! The restaurant also didn’t skimp out on the amount if meat either. The marinade is a bit on the sweeter side. However, the dish is still highly recommended! – Spicy Beef Soup: the soup was flavorful with just the right amount of spiciness. Again, the restaurant didn’t skimp out on the ingredients. Also highly recommended! Another great dish that is also a must try is their Osam (spicy stir fried squid and pork belly) (not pictured). The sauce has a perfect balance of sweetness, saltiness, and spiciness! Overall, this is a great and affordable restaurant to satisfy your Korean homemade food cravings!!

Mama?s Kitchen (Korean food) Menu with Prices 12672 SE 38th St, Bellevue

Went here with a friend for dinner. There actually isn’t that much Korean food in Bellevue, so I was really curious and excited to check this place out! Before coming here, I took a look at some photos of the food here, and I thought the portions were kind of small, but I guess those photos were a bit misleading??? Because the portions were all pretty generous! The kimbap was definitely the best dish we got. These rolls are BIG. Like, they take more than one bite to eat. But they are so delicious! My friend made a good point that you could taste the flavor of every ingredient they put in the kimbap, which looking back, is completely true. There’s the sweetness of the carrot and pickled radish, a bit of savory from the egg and beef, and it’s all rounded out by the sesame oil finish glazed on the rolls. It’s a very fresh and incredibly addicting bite! It also came with a side of radish kimchi. Maybe I just haven’t had good kimchi in a while (Korean restaurants in UW don’t have good kimchi), but I really liked this kimchi. The radish was super crunchy and had a great balance of sweet and pungent from the fermentation process. The kimbap itself could make for a full meal, and is a dish that I’ll be thinking a lot about. We also got a combo of soondubu (tofu soup) and spicy pork over rice. While I still enjoyed the kimbap more, both were still really good. The soondubu had a deeper flavor than other tofu soups I’ve had, with the flavor of the seafood in the soup really blending with the broth. Really happy with this soup, and they were really generous with the seafood ? My one complaint is that we ordered extra spicy, and both of us didn’t think it was spicy at all! Maybe it’s more a testament to our spice tolerance levels, but I still feel like this place doesn’t really go that hard with the spice. The spicy pork over rice also had the same issue with spice. It really could’ve been spicier, but the porky flavor mixed with the sweet chili sauce still made it really enjoyable. The most surprising part, however, were the bean sprouts on top. I don’t really like bean sprouts, but these were delicious! It was just a simple cook with sesame oil and salt, I think, but that was enough for me to be hooked. There was also almost too much rice for the pork we got, but I’m not complaining, rice is great ? I don’t usually talk about service, but the people that work here are just so nice! They’re very smiley and friendly and made the whole experience all the better. The prices may seem a bit steep, and that is a bit of qualm that I have with this place! Even so, I would definitely come back to try other dishes they have to offer (and that kimbap!), just amp up the spice and I’ll be super happy!

Sides of Seoul (SOS) – Menu with Prices – 10084 Page Ave, St. Louis

THIS IS IT! What took me so long to visit SOS? This is the most comforting and legit Korean restaurant in St. Louis. My first time here I visited at 6pm and they were sold out of seolleongtang (beef bone broth) and that they were cooking more broth as we spoke – I ain’t even mad. Instead, I took it as a good sign and that I’d be back very soon. I went with the soondubu (soft tofu soup) and my husband went with the jajangmyun (black bean sauce noodles). They have specials of the day posted on the wall on the left side of the restaurant. The special today was a ginseng chicken soup – as if I couldn’t be more long winded, but it doesn’t get more classic/home style than this place. Soondubu – seafood galore. Deeply flavorful and rich. They must’ve packed in two full packages of soft tofu in my bowl. No shortcuts. I got 3 huge shrimp, along with mussels and clams that overflowed my bowl. Jajangmyun – OMG I haven’t had good jajangmyun since before I moved from NYC and even there it’s a hit or miss dish based on a very specific list of specialty Korean restaurants that try to do this dish justice. The biggest factors of this comfort food staple is chewy noodles and an extremely addictive black bean sauce. SOS nailed it so hard that I’m writing this review 30 minutes after our dinner and already planning my next visit. Kim bap – they sell a variety of Korean rice rolls. I got mine to go as a snack for the next day. It’s a small shop – come for the food, stay for the homey hospitality and comfort. P.S. Found the ahjummas and ahjussis hangout spot

NolaKorea Korean Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 3120 Cleary Ave Suite A, Metairie

I was excited to try out the newest Korean restaurant in NOLA. After seeing the good reviews and pics, I just had to try it out with some friends. I am not so fond of the location and it is the fourth Korean restaurant in Metairie. My friends and I missed the restaurant while driving on Cleary Ave, we only saw “Korean Restaurant” on top of the restaurant. We did not notice the actual NolaKorea sign on the other side of the building. The place was much smaller than expected, but it was clean with one unisex restroom. There’s a screen with the menu with a picture of each item, which was nice to help us choose what we wanted. We ordered the Beef Fried Rice, Galbi, Jeyuk-Bokkeum, Ganjang Chicken, and Tofu Jjigae. Food didn’t take too long to come out. It seems to just come out in whatever finishes first, not by appetizers and entrees. Korean fried chicken is one of the things I always look forward to when I go to a Korean restaurant. It’s usually nice and crispy with a slight glaze of their signature Korean sauces. We had their Teriyaki sauced chicken wings and it wasn’t crispy, it was soggy and more on the salty side. We were not a fan of the fried rice at all, they put way too much bell pepper in and it overpowered the dish. It was only good to fill up our stomachs. The galbi was decent, it’s hard to mess up but it just tasted slightly off. It was cooked nicely though. The sweetness was there, but I can’t describe what it was missing. The tofu soup was piping hot and good, but it could have used some more flavor. The tofu was cooked perfectly and just melted in your mouth. The best dish that we ordered was the Jeyuk-Bokkeum and there was a perfect balance of spicy and flavor. It wasn’t too saucy and went well with rice. Last but not least, the banchan was just there for us. I usually enjoy eating banchan at every Korean place, but I did not care for it. Overall, a decent Korean place in NOLA. We don’t have many Korean places to begin with, but this place was just average to me. I would rather go to the other Korean restaurants. I would probably give this place another chance and try different dishes one day.

Mat joeun zip – Menu with Prices – 2226 W Orangethorpe Ave, Fullerton

Spicytarian is one of those niche places in a spotty area of Buena Park. I was actually curious if I was in the right place. The ambiance here is quite animated with your mix of Christmas intact in the walls, feeling like you’re in apart of a cabin, mixed in with art from Marvel and DC comics in teh cashier area and some on the walls. It’s quite the personality spitting out in the walls. You kinda have to be amazed by what this place has while you’re sitting and waiting for your food, because I can definitely say there’s no place like this. You’re in a ghetto part of Buena on the outside and then you are transformed to this place and you’re just in awe of what’s going on in here. Aside from the interesting art displaced here, there was actual food and the food here is good. Tofu Soup – Tofu soup is up to par with the Korean Tofu places i’ve tried. Panda Pork Ribs Platter – This is a platter devisive for 2 or more people. It’s a potpourri of things going on in this place, just as disparate as the things in the wall. You have pork, salad, many stringy greens, a dark sauce on the salad that I am unaware of and many things that I can’t describe. All in All, it was large and it was good. Other than the spotty location, I would definitely try this place again. It shows a different potential difference from the others that no korean tofu place has.

California Tofu Grill – Menu with Prices – 1993 W Malvern Ave, Fullerton

I didn’t go to this place for a while because I thought it was like a vegan/vegetarian restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it’s Korean food. I love tofu soup, I mean who doesn’t? For the most part tofu soup is pretty similar wherever you go so you can really differentiate which places are better by 2 things: side dishes and broth flavor. FOOD: 5/5 So the food here is standard. Lets start with the side dishes. The banchan here is good, they have good kimchi and they also give you a little salad. My favorite banchan was thechive pancake and the stir fried green beans. The pancake was warm and crispy so you know it’s fresh and the green beans were nice and crunchy. Also the little fish that comes with the soup was also freshly cooked. Crispy and hot when we received it. Now onto the main. I always get the oyster tofu soup, my brother got the bibimbap combo with cheese and ham tofu soup, while my sister got the beef patty combo with seafood tofu soup. As always, it was delicious. Extremely hot and bubbly, perfect amount of seasoning. The seafood really gives the broth a deep flavor. The ham and cheese was good as well, similar to army stew. The bibimbap was sizzling and stayed hot throughout the entire meal. The beef patties were really good as well. The server cuts it up for you so that’s nice. Sweet and salty served on a sizzling pan of onions so the grease gets soaked up. Everything was delicious. SERVICE: 4.5/5 The service here is better than some other Korean restaurants . The ladies were very sweet and they were constantly working. They seat everyone and bus their own tables so even though there were moments when I needed a water refill it was understandable. Overall this is a great tofu place, even if you’re not a fan of tofu soup there are plenty of other options. Great side dishes and entrees so I have no complaints.
