If you want good Korean food at a very affordable price, try this place out....portions are HUGE! I've been to other Korean restaurants in the area and no matter where you go, the food is good....Korean Restaurant's advantage is that their food is half the cost. It is tucked away at the back right-hand corner of G-mart on Independence. Kimchi is good and made fresh. I've had several dishes here but my favorite is the jap chae (glass noodle w/ beef and rice). read more

Even though I live 45 minutes away, I keep coming back here to get Galbi. Always delicious, alway tender! I give them 5 stars this time because it became one of my favorite place to get Korean food. I've tried their Bibimbap and loved too, but I always go for second with Galbi. Their kimchi is delicious and I'm sure they made it themselves too! They also have extra sides they sell at the counter so I'll make sure to grab kimchi whenever I pay a visit again. Seriously, I just wished I lived closer. The people there are very nice too. Oh, you get free water in a styrofoam cup if you eat in. That's always a plus! They take cash and credit. read more

If you are looking for a good Korean food, I can't recommend this place. I come here about twice a year during biz trip and was ok, but guess the owner has been changed one day. I ordered Budaejjigae & Dukbboki and only ate a little portion and would like to say these dishes are like Korean food prepared by non-korean or Korean who is not good at cooking. Please try other menus if you will try. read more

Always a good place to go to get decent Korean food in Charlotte and have been here many times over several years. Clearly the place has become more and more popular and with it an increase in prices which really should reflect in more value such as additional sides just as you would get at a regular Korean restaurant. That being said the food is good but can be challenging to get a seat given the location. read more

Korean Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Looks good but flavor is lacking in every dish , mom is Korean and she rated it 1star, my Fiance loves our Bulgogi much better . This isn't a good spot to take someone who hasn't had Korean food before , if you do they may not try Korean cuisine again :-/ read more

Korean Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

My not so secret spot to get authentic Korean food (minus the Thousand Island dressing on the side salad). Can't go wrong with the Bulgogi or the Galbi. I have yet I try the Bibimbap but it looks delicious. They also have plenty of soup options big enough for two. Kimchi and other fermented vegetables are pre-packaged and ready to be taken home. read more

Omg if you haven't been here then you are seriously missing out on one of Charlottes best hidden gems. It is located inside of the big international grocery store in the shopping center. The dumplings are my favorite, absolutely amazing. The only authentic Korean place I have found in Charlotte and its price point is perfect to boot! Highly recommend for your next Korean fix read more

Review for GMart: Great selection of fresh vegetable and seafood. They also have sake and korean rice read more

Korean Restaurant - Steamed Beef korean bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Worst Korean food I ever had. I got a steamed meat for $18.99 for a bulgogi. When did the grilled meat become an oven steamed meat? This placed is overpriced and low quality food. Please find a place that will give you your money's worth. I am seriously disappointed. The cashier who greets me with "Wassup man" ?*#? WTH. There are tons of places where I can get high quality food with pleasant servers. read more

I love this place. It is not fancy just so GOOD. I have been eating here for a while and have tried and enjoyed everything on the menu. They remember me here and treat me like family, going that extra mile to make me feel appreciated. I can not recommend this place enough for good home cooked Delicious Korean food. This is exactly what I think of when I am hungry, and I will be eating here frequently for as long as I am able. read more

I grew up in California where Korean BBQ is in abundance. I was actually just driving by and had to stop. I know some people will say why would I go to a restaurant and cook the food myself but I recommend it!! If you get 2 orders of meat you can BBQ yourself. Get the bulgogi and the galbi. And make sure you wrap it in lettuce with rice and kimchee. Good food and good service - the table actually has a button you can press for faster service. read more

Korean Restaurant - Bulgogi on the grill!!! - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I love this place! We live about 45 minutes from here, but we stop by atleast once a month for grocery shopping anyway. I get the spicy bulgogi and the regular bulgogi for my kids to share. It is always on point. The staff are super friendly too. They know us pretty well as we used to stop by more often when I was pregnant. Recently, we had some family come up and decided to stop in before they left. The girl at the cash register came up as we were eating and asked if she could hold our 9 month old baby. I was okay with it.. being Filipino, this is normal for me. I actually appreciated it so I could actually eat and didn't have to rush. I also love their seasoned squid they sell at the cash register. Definitely my favorite korean place. read more

I always have to stop by here when I'm at the market. This time I got the spicy rice cake. Rice cake was chewy but not too chewy. It had just the right amount of heat for me unlike other ones I've had where it was too spicy. It was delicious. I also bought some pickled garlic and cucumber gut jul yi. Great side dishes. read more

The food is good, I like bibimpop and the seafood soup. But they are raising price for food that us almost as expensive as in the restaurant read more

Sooo delicious! Everything is great but I love the BBQ pork buns, the teriyaki chicken and the kimchi buns!

Went there last year and was already disappointed with the food. Today, I thought about giving it another try (very bad decision) Really disappointed! Food's bland, meat was though and way overpriced for the quality. You're better off driving to Matthews and go to Peperos.(best place for real Korean food ). read more

The spicy rice cakes were amazing. The staff was so friendly, and they make sure my food was steaming hot when it got to me.

Their food is terrible. Bulgugi is raw and watery. And too much dressing in the salad... read more

I come here several times a week to get their bibimbap. Considering that this is one of the only two Korean restaurants in the Charlotte area, we don't have much choice if you're really craving Korean food. This little Korean place is in the back of super g mart and just a warning, it smells fishy. You get over it though. I've only gotten their bibimbap hotpot and their ddeokbokki from here but both are really delicious. Bibimbap comes with a side of kimchi. No other banchan. The employees here are always really nice as well. Overall I recommend this place to anyone looking for Korean, or pepero which is 10 min down the road. read more

This is my favorite Korean restaurant!! All the dishes are delicious and always make me happy. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and they always have a big smile on their faces! I think that's why everything tastes extra delicious!!! read more

Korean Restaurant - Spicy Cod Soup - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

You most likely won't run into this hole in the wall unless you are looking for it. It is hidden gem in the city offering authentic food at a low price. It is just hard to get to. Read more at: http://eatitcharlotte.com/2016/09/09/korean-restaurant/ read more

Copied my review from Super G over here as well as I didn't realize there was a separate listing for this restaurant. It's that good so I need to repeat it. :) I have been shopping here for a while and love the grocery side. But I love even more the restaurants all along the side of this grocery store. There's a bakery and 2 restaurants with delicious offerings. The bakery, the items there are light, fresh and tasty. I take advantage of their buy 5 and get 1 free deal. The Hong Kong restaurant, their soups are delicious. Their Thai tea is outstanding and seriously addicted to it. Their buns are fluffy and stuffed with great fillings. But my all time favorite has to be the Korean restaurant. I have had their spicy beef cabbage soup which lives up to it's name, SPICY but can't stop eating. (get extra thai tea if you get this dish!) Their bulgogi is flavorful and tender. Their black bean noodle is really good. The bimibap hot dish, the star of the place. And even all their side dishes they offer in the deli case in front of the restaurant is delish. I love their chives kimchi, cabbage kimchi and fish cakes etc. And no I don't work there nor do I know anyone there. It's just that tasty and good. Oh and their portions...HUGE. read more

I was introduced to this place a couple months ago and have been blown away ever since. This restaurant is a hidden gem. Probably because you have to go into a supermarket to find it. They have the best bulgogi and jambong. The kimchi is also great. Definitely authentic Korean food here. If you love Korean food you will love this place. read more

There are other authentic korean places around town but the options are slim- so this is a good place to get your fix when you need that kim chi soup. Its located inside the Super G Mart grocery store. They close fairly early for dinner so make sure you go before they close and check their times. read more

This is a very mediocre restaurant. If you want good food, go somewhere else. The soup was very bland, which is a description that should not be applied to Korean food. read more

Great authentic Korean food for a decent price! I come here often when I shop and I usually stop by in the back of the store for lunch. They also have an Asian bakery in the back that's pretty good too, although they only take cash, but the restaurant takes card and cash. If you're in the area and need to do some grocery shopping and want some food while you're at it, stop by here! read more

Loved the spicy shredded raddish. Great to go with group and order family style. Since it's in the back of Super G Mart you have the opportunity to stroll the isles and pick up some unique veggies or meat on the way out. read more

You won't be disappointed. For such a small eatery the food is top notch. However the open hours are inconvenient. Make sure they are open before you go. read more

So my experience here was really bad so I was done with school and I wanted some tteokbokki but apparently it closes at 4 ok I'm fine with that so I went to the Vietnamese resturant next door and I was sitting down eating and I see this korean girl ordering her food in korean I'm part korean so I know korean but the lady told me it was closed but why is she serving food to another costumer all because she looks korean and I don't why dosnt she tell the korean girl it's 4 it's closed so that really got me mad and never going there again they can serve people who only look korean not people with other ethnicities. read more

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE KOREAN. The dishes don't taste like korean food. In fact, we couldn't figure out what it tasted like. We didn't finish half of it. It was waste of our money and time. read more

Discovered this gem of a Korean restaurant inside the Super G Mart. The prices are reasonable and the food is excellent. I had the Bulgogi which was full of flavor. I will be back. read more

I found myself craving Korean food for a while. I tried to make some recipes at home and was left underwhelmed. After a little bit of research for Korean restaurants, I saw that this place is right inside of Gmart and since I have been meaning to make a grocery trip, I thought I would give the food a try. My sister and I ordered the #6 and #16 to share. They were both incredible dishes with such an interesting variety of flavors and the kim chi was the best I've had in a long time! read more

Really solid dolsot bibimbap. Good sides and tasty kimchee. You won't get a "grill it at your table" experience here, but the food is worth a visit. No need to limit this to weekends, either. read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE - If you can't speak Korean than just say the number BECAUSE their is a chance the worker might write your order wrong than the this young KOREAN LADY, who like one of the owner, will GIVE YOU CAN ATTITUDE AND BE MEAN for the worker's mistake. THE STORY - I order my food saying BOTH the name and the number. I got my order and one of the dishes was NOT what I order. I told the worker that I wanted #4 & not #8. Than (s)he asked, "Do you want #4 the pork bulgogi because we also have the beef bulgogi?" When I realized that there was beef bulgogi, I told him/her that I wanted beef instead of pork. That's when the owner (young Korean lady in athletic clothes) gave me an attitude. The worker put in the wrong order than I decided I wanted beef bulgogi instead of pork bulgogi (and no the pork bulgogi wasn't prepared yet at all); so she's annoyed that she lost $8.99. The entire time I was just thinking why she is mean to me because the mistake was NOT MY FAULT and I just spent a lot of money on your overpriced food (more than $50 on 3 dishes and 6 bowls of rice). After she yelled at me, I didn't say anything. So, we stood there for like 5 seconds in silence and I think I silently said, "Okay???" After that she walked off. Whew! I'm debating if I ever want to buy anything from there again because of this incident. FOOD - It's alright. I've eaten here many time but never really actually love the food. read more

Went cheap. When this place first opened, we loved it. My favorite dish was the Kalbi and they would give a lot of side dishes with it. Now they only give one side dish of Kimchi and a lot less meat. For price of around $17, which is about the same as a regular Korean restaurant, they are much pricier but give you a lot less. read more

Ordered bulgogi, it was very bland, almost like it has no seasoning in it. Not worth it for the price.

Hispanic cooks, owner has a bad attitude. Combined the white people like it. The Asians not much. The Chinese buns next door are so much better. read more

from l.a. so my palates a little spoiled when it comes to korean food. food here does not taste traditional. it's very bland.
