We live about 70 miles away but frequently stop at Korea House when we are in town. Excellent food, excellent service. They will explain what various dishes are if you ask. They have been there since before we moved to the area, 25 years ago. The restaurant is small and gets packed, so better to eat early. Highly recommended. read more

Best Korean food in Nashville. Very authentic, felt like I had stepped back in time and was back in Seoul :-) Great service and super friendly staff. The Japchae and Bulgogi, side dishes are amazing read more

I haven't been to Korea House in probably over 10 years. Mainly because I don't live in that part of town anymore (since 2012) but I found myself that way with my kids. They wanted Korean food and that was the only one nearby. It's exactly how I remember it.... The same hole-in-the-wall, small restaurant but very packed with tons of customers. My kids shared the kalbi and I ordered the sweet and sour pork. I mean this in a good way, but Korean food (no matter the restaurant) always tastes the same. The only time you know when you have problem is when it tastes drastically different than what you're used to. I've had very few bad experiences with any Korean restaurant. What I personally look for is consistency in flavor and Korea House let that expectation. And because of that, it's as good as I remember and as delicious as I remember. Highly recommended. read more

I love Korea House for the personable service and for extremely authentic Korean food complete with Banchan. I typically get the steak as my go to but since I had some dental work done I could only get the tofu/soup. This was my 1st time ever getting this dish but wow it just might become my next go to! read more

I've been searching a while for a spot with good beef short ribs since my favorite place back home closed. Korea House finally gives me a new spot to get delicious short ribs. It's a simple, small place and can get busy. My friend and I waited about 15 minutes to be seated. There's free parking. Love: Galbi - beef short ribs (flavorful, tender, wonderful) Like: Jjampong (great flavor); service (kind, prompt) read more

Very authentic and a huge portion of food. It's not as spicy as I would like and it's a small restaurant and it was PACKED. The servers treat you like they're your aunties. Super attentive and sweet. read more

This place is a hole in the wall but the food was quite yummy. The galbi was a bit pricey for what it is (la galbi with bones not the ribmeat itself). You might have to wait if you go there for lunch. Worth it tho read more

We just moved here and our first priority is finding our "go to" places. We came here for take out after an evening Costco run. Was impressed with the presentation and taste of the to go kalbi dinner. BBQ meat was tasty and they had a whole separate container of ban chan. A Korean coworker said it's a legit place We will definitely be back again for some in and pic to prove it. read more

Short Spare Ribs - meat very tender (cooked to perfection) can't wait to dine in. Reheated in the air fryer they were even more delicious!! Got these after being locked due to a snow storm wanted some take out. Service was great food was hot when I arrived and smelled amazing. read more

Traditional little Korean joint. It's as authentic as they come. I tried the kimchi soup and the spicy beef tofu. They both hit the spot. Next time I'll try the Bigogi. They do have Chinese food on the menu, but it seemed very American. you're doing yourself a disservice by not having the Korean food. Parking was a breeze and the place was busy and clean. The staff are prompt and courteous. read more

I have never not had a good time. This place is the spot and they have walls of awards/achievements to prove it. They are quick with their service and very helpful if it is your first time. I suggest getting: bulgogi(thinly sliced beef), Tteokbokki (rice cakes in a spicy sauce), bibimbap (rice bowl, corrects, cucumber, eggs, meet). I personally love to get there at 5:30 PM because it does get busy during the usual dinner hours. When I do go it is a feast with friends and I love to go home and chill after all the amazing food that has entered my body . read more

Korea House is my GO-TO for Korean food. The place is small but I've never had to wait, and they are VERY quick to bring out your order. You also get great Banchan with pretty much any order. Here's what I've tried: -Dolsot Bibimbap: 9/10 - So good!!! Get this with beef rather than tofu because there's more flavor that way. And DEFINITELY go for the Dolsot Bibimbap over the regular one, it's worth it. It comes out in a sizzling hot-pot (careful not to burn yourself) and you have to WAIT so that the rice gets crispy on the bottom. Oh my goodness so good. Then go ahead and mix that perfectly runny egg and all the mixins into the rice, give a generous squeeze of the two sauces they bring out in the red bottles (soy and gochujang), and enjoy!! The dish itself is very fresh, a very good portion, and on the less-flavorful end, but that's why you add your own sauces! The only other thing I will say, though, is that they don't give you a lot of meat for the price. -Kimchi Fried Rice: 9/10 - Super super flavorful. I'm not a big fried rice lover, but when my boyfriend ordered this, I ended up eating half just because it was so delicious. Highly recommend. -Fried Rice: 7/10 - Eh, it's normal fried rice. Not bad, nothing special. I never order it myself, though. -Bulgogi: 9/10 - DELICIOUS!! It is very greasy though, so be prepared for that. But the flavor is rich and it comes out with a generous amount of perfectly-cooked meat. -Goonmandu: 6.5/10 - I like dumplings, but these were pretty average, and to be honest I don't think deep frying them did any favors. They tasted very much of fried food, followed by a sem-flavorful filling. -Soondubu-jjigae: 7/10 - This spicy tofu stew was not too spicy, as someone who can handle medium spice, and the tofu was super soft and had a good texture. It came out bubbling like a cauldron which is super fun, but also means you should be careful not to burn your mouth. The actual seafood and soup part lacked depth of flavor in my opinion, and I mostly tasted heat more than anything else. There are so many other dishes I need to try, and I've seen others order the seafood pancake (it's huge!) and the jampong (also huge and looks super flavorful!) and have been enticed. read more

They removed their tofu stew dishes from their menu and increased their prices. Now it's just another average Korean restaurant with overpriced and average dishes. They lost a loyal customer. Too bad, so sad. read more

It's like having dinner at a family member's house. Super cozy! I was greeted by a kind woman who helped me select the perfect meal. I ordered the Bibimbap in a Hot Stone. It was AMAZING. 10/10. It comes out piping hot and come with an assortment of bonchons (fermented sides). The accompanying sauce is tangy, sweet, and a bit spicy. The portion size was plentiful. I will definitely be returning! read more

Korea House - Bibimbap in a Hot Stone - Korean Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Love me some Korea House. I always get the fish and seafood pancake. My fav Korean food in Nashville next to my mom's.

Korea House serves up some great Korean barbecue. This was the first time trying Korean food for most of us in our party of six, so we asked some questions about the menu before making our selections, and our waitress gave us some recommendations of popular items. Our group of friends shared the seafood pancake as our appetizer and it was delicious! For my entree I enjoyed the beef bulgogi. It is served with rice and accompaniments. Unfortunately, for the six of us, we only received two sets of the accompanying sides and I would have loved to have had more than a tablespoon of the cucumbers and bean sprouts (my two favorites). The meal was also served with rice, and we received a portion of rice with each meal. Also, our waitress never returned to offer refills on our drinks. Otherwise, we enjoyed our experience at Korea House and would return to try some other menu items. read more

As a Korean-American from Los Angeles, I was kind of surprised to see a small ish Asian concentrated community around White Bridge, and was definitely appreciative as my digestion system was over days and days of fried food. I had the soondooboo (tofu stew), and they were kind enough to substitute the included seafood with beef per request. The stew was really good and hit the spot, not the best I've ever had, but I would not be surprised if this is the best in the area. The banchan (side dishes) they provide are also so good. I'm not usually one to work on the side dishes too much, but I pretty much demolished most of the 6 side dishes they provided. They said these are made in house. I also ordered the bulgogi as take out for a friend who told me that it was delicious. Service was also good. There were two Korean ladies going around helping every body. The older lady was friendly, but personally, I did not think her service was particularly friendly. She was happy to get anything I asked for, but everything was pretty much by request. If you have children, she will probably be pretty attentive to your table and your children in a good way, though. The younger lady was more personable and actively asking if I needed anything. Would recommend and would be back. read more

I love Korean food and this is a lovely authentic hole in the wall. The service is always usually pretty quick and and the staff is so friendly. Sometimes they get packed but it's still not an awful wait time. Probably a $15-30 price point depending on what you get, and so worth it. I get the Galbi usually which is $27 now I believe but it's a hit every time. It's so flavorful and a great portion as well as including the rice and side dishes. Love it here and I want everyone to go! read more

A staple of authentic Korean food in Nashville. A small family owned shop with limited seating, when you step in you know you're gonna be treated to delicious Korean fares. Right when you are seated and start to order, a delicious selection of banchan (Korean appetizers, free) are brought out and enjoyed as you make the crucial decision. My friend and I shared three dishes which was the perfect amount of food for two starving foodies. It was a hot summer day so we shared the Naengmyeon (Korean Cold noodle) and it was so refreshing with its iced pickled radish soup base with cold buckwheat noodles and slices of beef. We also shared the classics, a tofu stew the sundubu chigae and the dolsot bibimbap. Both were brought out sizzling, the former mixing perfectly with the small pot of rice, and the latter cooking the rice to a perfect crisp edge in the stone bowl. The flavors were just right and paired perfectly with the trio we ordered. Highly recommend a visit on either a hot or cold day because their menu is as diverse as it is delicious! read more

If you're looking for delicious and authentic Korean food, this is your place to go. If you're looking for a fancy frilly atmosphere to dine in this may not be the place for you so just get your order to go. The food is incredible. The service is impeccable. Highly recommend. read more

Place is very small but a good atmosphere for anybody wanting to eat in. The staff is very friendly. Everything we've had has been above board and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and left satisfied. We've had Bibimbop, fried rice, bulgogi, and probably a handful of other things. Bibimbop is excellent. Bulgogi and banchan are excellent. The fried rice was even good. We took a friend that had never been exposed to Korean food before and they liked everything they tried and said they would happily bring their family back when next in the area. Yay - we're influencers now! Seriously though, give this place a try. I'm pretty sure somebody's grandma is tickled pink at the food being served and I know we've always been pleased with our meals here. read more

The absolute best Korean food in Nashville. I could eat here every day Nothing else needs to be said!

Delicious! My family and I ate here several months ago when visiting from out of town. I have been thinking about the Dolsot Bibimbap ever since then. I ate here again on my next trip, and it's still just as yummy. Clean place, super friendly staff, quick service. read more

Korean is one of those cuisines I could eat on a regular basis. A mix of fermented foods alongside nice sized meat portions and excellent flavors. In the Nashville area, there are not many Korean spots and only two I think are of note: Korea House and Fat Tiger (on 70 in White Bluff, near Dickson). I am not sure I rate this spot 5 stars, but it is definitely a solid 4. I gave the bump as it is one of the best spots I have eaten - atmosphere, service, and food - in the past few months. I ate with my daughter and did two of the most well known Korean dishes: Bimimbap and Bulgogi. As you can see by the photos, there is a lot that comes out. While I did not love all of the sides with the Bulgogi, there were some that were out of this world good. The place is small and sits in a little strip. The bad thing here is you will have a wait if it is the middle of the dinner rush as they are crowded every night. The good thing is the food warrants being crowded every night. Would I return? I thin the review pretty much sums it up that the answer is a firm yes. read more

This is hands-down the best Korean food in Nashville. While the restaurant is unassuming (located in a strip mall, small space), the food is outstanding. Order the dolsot bibimbap, which is served in a sizzling hot stone bowl. I like to get the tofu version, but you can also get beef. As the rice continues to cook in the bowl, you get these nice crispy bits that are caramelized, crunchy, sweet, and spicy. The service is very efficient, and the food comes out quickly. This is one of my favorite spots in Nashville, and I love any excuse to go to Korea House. read more

My mom and i happened to stumble on this place during a random nashville trip. The food was absolutely stellar and authentic. Service was amazing from the moment you enter.

I went because it was highly recommended and I'm glad I did.

Service is quick and got food to go, very easy to pick up. read more

Food was good! The seafood pancake was amazing, crispy on the outside yet soft and light on the inside, and full of seafood. The beef bulgogi was a bit dry but otherwise tasted great; the pork bulgogi was succulent and had a great sauce. Chicken teriyaki was okay, mostly salty and not much depth. Food came very quickly even though it was busy. read more
