4 Best Korean Restaurants near Coon Rapids

“I wish I had remembered to take photos before eating instead of half way through. Somehow my wife found this place on the internet. This is the closest we've ever been able to find Korean food to where we live. We've been eating Korean food for the last 30 years but up until the Korean Olympics It meant a trip to one of the Korean restaurants on Snelling Ave in St. Paul , Hoban in Eagan or Kings Restaurant in Moore Lake Commons. I would recommend this place to anyone who lives nearby or happens to be shopping nearby but it isn't a place I would go out of my way for a second time. It's not that it isn't good but Bonchan in Maple Grove is very similar and the chicken at least is much better. It as if the owner or operators took a class on creating and running a Korean restaurant but maybe got a B on the final exam rather than an A. The menu was somewhat confusing and apparently if you wanted something to drink other water or Pepsi you had to go next door to order it. The help spoke English but I was left with the feeling that not everything got translated correctly in their mind., The experience was funny and unsettling at the same time My wife had Bibimbap which was served in a hot bowel doslot style and was available in 4 variations. She was very happy with her meal. She suprized me by ordering the typical Korean side dishes that I expected to come with our meal and are but she took full ownership of them and left me disappointed because all I got was coleslaw. My chicken was ok but didn't compare to the chicken at Bochan. I'll go back if I'm in the area but I won't make a special trip again. At least next time I won't feel so confused and I'll try a more traditional Korean dish. The place was clean and the staff was friendly and acted as if they wanted to please.“

“For different Asian ethnic sauces that's the place to go, I love the sweet soy sauce there, can't find it anywhere else in this area. I make my own beef jerky and a splash of that sweet soy sauce and red pepper flakes seals the deal for me.“

“What a fun, unique, authentic, and freaking delicious find!We were in the area and I'm glad we were.Very authentic, quick, and great service.You are served traditional dishes to share, which confused us (its not noted anywhere and unless you know... you have no idea). Thanks to Google, we figured it out.. but not what they were haha.Everything was awesome. The Tang-Su-Yuk was fried nice and crispy and the sauce was bright and fresh. The Kan-Pun-Gi was a perfect spice and and flavor.It iis on the pricier side, which im mot a fan of, but 100% recommend stopping here!“

“After getting takeout from a couple locations, we had the best experience by far dining in. Takeout didn't do the food justice. Best to eat fresh, and get extra sauce from the servers if you need it.Kid-friendliness: Staff were friendly to young children, which always makes families feel welcome. They had high chairs. Can't remember if bathroom had changing table-- will check next time and update.“
