You are going to have to wait for your food and it is going to be worth every. single. minute. This place is found inside orem Asian market. It's run by a son, his mom and aunt. They take Monday's to make all the banchan (side dishes). We ordered their beef bulgolgi, tofu soup, and jap chae. It's all delicious. Their tofu is special ordered from Korean and you can totally tell! You can't go wrong!! read more

Small but mighty! Located in the back of an Asian Market w/ lots of parking! With just 2 tables for dine in - we came after lunch hour rush so it wasn't a big deal getting a table !

We loved the banchans too - excellent kim Chee When we're back in Provo we' ll be back - service and food excellent great find read more

This unassuming spot located inside Asian Market was so good. Owned and operated by Spencer and his mom, originally from Korea. They are bringing authentic Korean cuisine to Utah. Everything is made in house, the kimchi, sauces, even their own soy sauce! I got the bulgogi and it was brought out and torched in front of me, so tasty and not overly sweet. The tofu soup was bubbling upon delivery, the tofu was so silky soft. They had a whole spread of banchan or sides, again all made in house. Fresh, flavorful, and perfect portions. I highly recommend giving them a try read more

Guroott is a small jewel in the local Asian market. The full team had smiles on their faces and an eagerness to provide patrons with an excellent Korean dining experience. It sets itself apart with refined and strong red signage and beautiful utensils and serving dishes. Lots of class to be found in a grocery store. Side dishes are a calling card for a Korean restaurant. They had a beautiful take on traditional side dishes. My favorite side dish is marinated potatoes and though I am loyal to my favorite Korean restaurants, I LOVED these potatoes!! We enjoyed the potato and kimchi pancakes, and my wife loved her kimchi stew (something she eats on a very regular basis. The beef was good and was presented with flaming flare (though perhaps a little too much oil). They limited seating and staff, but they are finding more. The word seems to be getting out as the were busy with sit-down diners and large takeout orders. If they can keep up, they have a good future. read more

Found this lovely new Korean restaurant inside the Asian Market food court in Orem and decided to give a try. It is a small mom and pop style eatery with the mom and son team making everything fresh in house daily. All of the dishes were prepared thoughtfully and tasted very delicate which even including the side dishes we can get refills with. The owner is super friendly and kind to his customers, it might take some time for your food to get ready but it'll be worth the wait as everything's cooked fresh per order. I was glad I found this new hidden gem and will definitely go back to try their other menu items. read more

This is some of the best Korean food I've had in Utah county. It's tucked away inside the Asian Market in Orem so it's harder to find but it has been amazing each time I've gone. This last time I got to try the Pork Bulgogi and the Yukgaejang. If you are familiar with Korean food or like spicy food I would highly recommend you go with the extra spicy option as the regular option was very mild. They torch the bulgogi right in front of you too to give it a bit of an extra char. The Yukgaejang was good as well, but I think the star of the show is their side dishes. They make all of them in-house including their kimchi. My favorites werethe kimchi and the potatoes. They also give you an onion side dish that pairs great with the bulgogi. After the meal, they offered us a traditional Korean dessert drink made of dates and ginger that was a great finish to our meal. Overall, the service here is top notch and the owner cares deeply about his restaurant and reputation. He is very friendly and made us feel very welcome. read more

I highly recommend checking out Guroott if you're looking for Korean food. It's a local restaurant located in the Orem Asian market! Food: I've tried the beef bulgogi, pork bulgogi, seafood sundubu, and yukgaejang. My favorites are the pork bulgogi and seafood sundubu. All the dishes are made fresh to order, and the quality of the meats is excellent. Next time, I'll consider getting the extra spicy pork bulgogi so that it has some kick to it. Dine In: I suggest dining in to fully experience the meal. With Korean side dishes and freshly prepared food it's best enjoyed there. Plus, the server makes sure that your meal is delicious and was very sweet and funny. Service: 10/10! The server is incredibly attentive and friendly. It's one of the best service experiences I've had. He'll make sure you have everything you need and will check in on you throughout your meal. read more

Had the Pork Bulgogi, which came with rice and banchan: kimchi, braised potatoes, braised egg, mini salad, onions, sprouts, and beef broth soup. Friendly server cooked the dish table-side with a mini torch. Everything was delicious! Run out of the corner of Asian Market, they are scouting their own future building. Food is good, so they'll have no problem filling it with delighted diners. read more

Guroott - beef japchae (top), beef bibimbap (bottom). - Korean Near Me - Orem, Utah

The best Korean spot tucked away in the Asian Market in Orem! Truly a hidden gem. The owner is extremely friendly and the food is delicious. We went back twice in a week. I ordered the beef bulgogi bibimbap twice in a row, it was so good. The side dishes are also amazing! My husband ordered the white sundoobu and seafood sundoobu which were both delicious. It seriously feels like you stepped into someone's home and got a home-cooked meal. If I didn't live out of state, I'd be eating here weekly!! read more

Where to begin??? A Korean food connoisseur told me of this place and stated that it was "the best Korean food he has had in Utah!" Guroot did not disappoint! Sometimes, the best food is found at the most unlike places. Guroot is literally a hole in the wall inside an Asian market. The food and service is superior to anything i might have expected! Most people appear to just order to go but you can also seat right outside Guroott's prep area. We had a great time enjoying the meal. My boys and I will be back for much more. read more

This quaint spot is located in the Orem Asian market in the back corner. IT IS A DIAMOND!! The cutest and nicest family prepares all the food. The waitress told us the special ingredient is that her grandma prepares the food We were very impressed with the freshness, flavor, authenticity, and presentation of all of the food. The service was so attentive, kind, and helpful with all our questions! My favorite dish was the Kimchi jjigae - it is comforting and so filling. The tteokbokki combo was a favorite - especially the rice balls! We will 100% be returning. GO SUPPORT THIS AUNTHENTIC KOREAN GEM!! read more

Seriously fantastic little hidden gem in an Asian grocery store. All the traditional jigae flavors I've been craving and top notch bonchon. Run by a super sweet mother/son duo, the food is made fresh, so if you're in a rush this might not be the place. However, if you're a little patient, you will be absolutely rewared! If you want to get your fix of absolutely authentic Korean food (not bbq) this is the place. read more

This place is amazing!!! All the servers are so funny and kind, but most important their food is SO GOOD!! Their pricing is great for everything that you get. I'd highly recommend this to anyone, i go at least once a week! Branch out and try something new (: read more

The service was amazing, especially for only having a few tables inside the Asian market. I loved the banchan sides that came with every meal. I would definitely come back for the authenticity of the food alone. It was delicious and a great portion for lunch. read more

We drove from SLC in search of authentic Korean homemade meal. We definitely found it at Guroott! Spencer & his Mom were the sweetest! Everything he brought out, he gave us a little background of each item. It was so good. They're tucked away inside the Asian market in the left corner near other food shops. We had beef bibimbap, pork japchae, kimchi jjigae, zucchini jeon, tteokbokki, & some other banchan! Everything was made to order but we didn't wait long. Even if we did, we didn't realize it because we were having a good time. Our food was fresh & so good. We will definitely be back!! read more

I was genuinely surprised by how fresh and delicious the food was. The service was amazing and Spencer's recommendations were super yummy. We tried the Doenjang Jjigae, the Zucchini Jeon, Mandu, and Beef Bulgogi which were all amazing. Our meal came with rice and side dishes included and was honestly so affordable. All of the side dishes are also very good. The food is made fresh when you order so as expected there is a bit of a wait while they cook, but everything comes out nice and hot and tastes so fresh! You can just tell how much care and thought they put into their food. They checked on us frequently to make sure everything was okay and they were all so kind. They even give you a digestive tea after your meal which was so delicious I had to ask what was in it. Needless to say we'll be back I have a feeling it's going to be one of my favorites. read more

This restaurant has been my obsession since it opened up!! The soups are absolutely to die for the side dishes are amazing and everything just pairs so well! Ordering was super simple and they had the menus that you can scan so everyone could look at what they want to do without having to share a menu which was amazing! Also, the fact that it's inside the Asian market just makes it so much easier to not over by groceries. Cause you can eat and then go shopping.! I have tried all of their soups and let me tell you they are all amazing. Highly recommend!!! read more

This is a fabulous little spot. It is a small, family run operation and they do it right. Service is top notch. They are very friendly and helpful. We ordered 5 dishes and the food was tremendous. Utah is a slave to corporate restaurants. Don't give the chain restaurants your money. Give your money to family owned restaurants like Guroott. The people here are awesome and this will be a weekly stop for me moving forward. read more

The service is amazing! So kind, friendly, funny & helpful. The 3 dishes I've tried were incredibly good. The kimchi jjigae (Kimchi tofu soup) is better than any I have had here or in Cali. Full flavor broth. The kimchi leaves were soft & the larger pieces were crunchy. Delicious kimchi. The meat pieces were thinly sliced & such a nice bite. Can nibble or eat in one big piece. So good either way. The bulgogi japchae was savory with a touch of sweet. Great noodles & beef. The side dish cucumber pickles are so crunchy, a little spicy, I couldn't stop eating the onion pickles even though normally onions are not my fave. The Ttoekbokki was so soft! And the broth was delicious. It's located inside a small Korean grocery store, in the corner. It's a little hard to see but so very worth it. read more
