    We popped in on a busy Saturday before the start of a Crew match AND a Blue Jackets game. The area was super busy. Nice Tinis, goyza, and rolls. The Tuna was a bit tasteless though. Excellent service.

    Best Sushi in Columbus! Small family atmosphere inside. Staff are friendly and attentive.

    This restaurant is a little tucked away but worth a visit. It was a chilly night so I wanted something warm and this meal hit the spot. The miso soup was rich in flavor and the hibachi plate was pretty good although the shrimp were pretty overcooked. The sauce that came with it though was super delicous. I also ordered some eel and sadly by the time it got to me it was quite cold. It seemed like they only had one server for the whole place so the sushi bar got backed up with orders a lot.

    What a fun little sushi spot!!! Here for a convention and our Uber driver actually told us about this place, said it was one of his favorites! The place is definitely a hole in the wall gem, walking distance from our hotel and downtown. They have a full bar and wine, beer, etc. The ambiance is fun and Korean themed. They have super fresh sushi, and their rolls were amazing too! We had their 2010 roll and some other "basic" rolls and they were great. The nigiri and sashimi was killer. They have toro tuna and the yellowtail sashimi was so fresh and yummy! If you order multiple rolls they actually bring all of them out at once rather then by each roll and I actually really liked it this way so you can try everything!!! Also had their house wine and it was pretty good for its price!!! Pricing all together wasn't too bad either so we will definitely be back next year!!!

    Some of my favorite rolls! Red, white and boom roll, misty roll, eel and cucumber roll, sweet shrimp nigiri and red snapper nigiri

    Honestly--I love Kooma. Tucked around the corner from High Street, this little sushi spot always offers super fresh sushi, delicious Japanese food, and an overall huge menu for anything you're craving. It's never too busy (which is a good thing for customers, maybe not a good thing for them), but they seem to never be overwhelmed by the amount of people or orders. I love sitting at the sushi bar and watching the orders being made. I absolutely recommend this place. 100%.

    It was a fun experience going here for the first time with a girlfriend on a slow week night. Upon entering, it has a simple dark interior with somewhat of a 90's feel, almost like a sushi restaurant on the set of Friends. We were seated quickly and served attentively by a classic guy who was also pretty Friends-worthy. He seemed like a career server that could make his way in any fine restaurant in the world, very professional and timeless. Not overly friendly or too casual, subdued in a way that allowed the restaurant to stand for itself. We ordered soup with shumai that was perfectly delicious. Dark bowls made the shumai stand out and the plating looked elegant. Flavor was authentic and mild. The 2 specialty rolls we ordered were definitely good and up to par with all of the best sushi in Columbus, but it's not quite at the top of my list, though I would be happy to have sushi here again if any other friends asked me to Kooma. I would also like to try some of their hot dishes. I will say that pricing is not that obvious on the rolls and I thought a couple of them seemed a little high when we determined what they were. The house hot sake was satisfying though :)

    I ordered two rolls, quality was on par with other sushi restaurants in the area but the rolls were incredibly small for the price.

We've been during restaurant week and there was a long wait, and where you just walk right in and get seated. Every part of the experience is well managed. The hostess is absolutely adorable and so kind. She got screamed at my disgruntled customers (because they were asked to leave after the 2 hours slotted because there was a long wait) and she was so kind to them and just took it. She helps change the grates, and even placed an order for meat for us! The wait staff is also super kind and helpful. Offering recommendations if you don't know what to try, and being super responsive. Our drinks were never empty and the meat was always on our table! The quality of meat/seafood is very good. We've tried the marinated chicken (spicy and not), the beef and pork bulgogi, both were very good. We've had the brisket, the pork belly, the calamari (both spicy and not) and it was all so fresh and yummy. The denver steak was a hit and even the marinated shrimp are an amazing option! Everything comes out so fast and so your table will always be full! We have been to Kbbq in a lot of different places (both in ohio and out) and this place is the best out there. whether it's a date night, a family celebration, or just craving an amazing meal- this is your spot.

A plate of meat or vegetables are ordered (enough for the table ($77-$99 approximately per plate). The meat is marinated and ready to cook. Firstly, there was enough food for everyone to be more than satisfied. The grilled meat, placed in a lettuce leaf with rice or sauce was refreshing and delicious. Service was helpful, especially to navigate the complex menu. While the food was spectacular, the ambiance was dark and the floors were extremely sticky. This made a less than favorable first impression, however the meal made up for the environment. As stared, the menu was difficult to navigate. We will return when we visit Columbus in the future.

Thank you for bringing me back home when I'd sit on the floor at my mother's third oldest brother's house... mom had eight brothers and sisters and the oldest was as old as her father could be... almost 20-30 years older, actually...she was pretty lonely with no close-in-age sibling around... It was my first visit to Korea and have not been back. But it brings me back. 해물 순두부찌개 (Spicy soft tofu stew with seafood Haemul sundubu-jjigae)...it has the dashi-approach around the fringe of its flavor profile... dimensions! This week was the week I was supposed to get married but my ex Fiance backed out of the whole proposition all together... before you ask. Yes. "Marriage" was actually his idea... me? Well. I just wanted a true fried for life--no binding obligations to the "for life" part... So here I am. Back home. Back to the beginning... I'm not waiting for Vizzini. But please... father I have failed you for 20 years, please I need you to to guide my sword and I cannot do it alone. It's the broth. Before anyone says "high prices for non premium ingredients"... I say hold on... it comes down to: labor and love. Korean cooking is not just ingredients alone. It is the salt. It is the hand kneading, flavor, and marrying of such (pun). There is more than a spirit in the cooking. More than just the soul. But emotion. Maybe Koreans feel this in our blood. Google the word "Han" and maybe you'll get just a drop of taste on the tongue to taste and see. This is a one woman show. Plus her kitchen staff or just one helper in the whole restaurant. Please come here ready to put patience to action and feel full and whole from doing so. Your good deed of the day. I would come here for comfort. Because I missed something I could not explain... or define... or I'd come here in time of overt failure. Auntie said hi to me. She asked if - I was Korean - saying I must be. We never were truly accepted. Even just visiting the first time in 22 years in Korea. If you don't see family for 22 years... I suppose ... you couldn't easily accept me either? Maybe she saw the Satori. Maybe she saw some Cheju. Maybe she saw some of Gramma. You know most people would turn away but you count on the hope that there will be that -one- who will read it, and stay. So yes, you.. dear one. I am so glad you heard about it... P.s. The Yuk-Gae Jiang has real bone broth. Like Cow knuckle, dude. It solidifies into one pure block of collagen when you fridge the takeout into the next day. ::mic drop::

The Korean food is measured by "Ban-chan," the side dishes that come with the main menus. To prepare such side dishes is not easy. But, to prepare with original tastes only found in side streets of Korea, it takes years of cooking skills and holistic use of fresh varieties of vegetables with traditional touch of flavors. So, to find the restaurant Silla, tucked in the alley of shopping center near Marc's by Henderson and Reed road, does brings nostalgia as you walk toward the entrance. The service is important part of our culture. The lady who serves is so kind with a genuine smile. Even when she is serving so many customers, she manages to bring smile to those who she serves. Her kindness rubs off onto her customers - at first I was not used to her being so kind - but she has a way for opening up her sincerity. My wife and I am now a regular customer at Silla. Sometimes my food may come out late, but I come to enjoy the energy and vibe by many young college students, and savor the food as it is prepared the way it should be. As a Korean American, I am so thankful to have Silla in the heart of Columbus.
