We enjoyed our lunch boxes. Very delicious and nutritionally balanced for a $15 meal. We stayed at the hotel right next to it so it was super convenient.
we tried the fresh Watermelon Mojito and Fresh Cucumber Mojito and they were so deliciou. When Kim our server said FRESH she meant Fresh!!!!!! So delicious.....
Koreana has wonderful service and a solid menu (plus wide assortment of drinks) that you can eat-in at a mix of high and low top tables), take-out, have delivered, or have catered! Greatly enjoyed the sweet-and-sour tofu lunch bento box, which came with a side of veg, a side of white rice, a side of japchae (sweet potato noodles), two mandu (fried dumplings), and a small bowl of (delicious!) miso soup. Will be back to try more offerings!
Stopped here for the first time with two of my children. We all agreed it was fantastic. The service was great, the food was wonderful and the value was very good. We each ordered a bento box as well as kimbap to go. I forgot to order Kimchee as a side and was going to pay for it with cash, but the lady at the counter generously provided a dish of it for free. The restaurant is literally a block or so off Market Street and easy to get to. Will definitely come again and highly recommend it to others.
Cute little Korean eatery, perfect for lunch or a quick bite. Affordable and delicious food. The lunch bento can't be beat -- featuring a choice of main dish, plus gyoza, japchae, broccoli, rice and miso soup. We ordered the spicy chicken and the bulgogo bentos, and left very satisfied.
I decided to try out this Korean restaurant because it was literally right next door to my hotel. I am so glad that I did. The food was amazing. Not only was it very flavorful, there was a good amount of food in the bowl. That being said, I did order my cup bap with extra meat, so I'm not sure what the difference would have been, but I ordered 2 different meats, and there were a lot of both types. I wanted squid in the cup bap, but they didn't offer it. But, I realized I could add it, so I ordered a bulgogi cup bap and added extra squid to it. Luckily, this mixture was delicious. I also grabbed a triangle kimbab with tuna in it.
