I came here on a not so busy Friday night but service was a bit slow. We got seated immediately but wasn't given water or the menus until 10 minutes later. Anyhow, we made our selections fairly quickly. My girlfriend and I ordered the S6 (kimchi jji gae), S8 (soon du bu jji gae) and K11 (jae yuk du boo kimchi). However the server returned and we were told they were out of materials for the kimichi jji gae so we switched to S7 (doen jang jji gae). The food arrived fairly quickly and came with about 10 ban chan dishes. But sadly there wasn't any steamed eggs this time (which was included 2 years ago). The soup dishes arrived piping hot and was served in a hot clay bowl. The spicy broth was pretty flavorful with good consistency. My dish had bits of seafood like octopus, clams, and shrimp. The seafood wasn't overcooked or too chewy. The K11 dish arrived a bit later. It's basically a spicy marinated pork and kimchi dish served with steamed/boil tofu triangles. The pork was had great flavor and the tofu went well with the dish. It also help calm the spiciness of the dish. We both managed to finish our soup dishes but we barely ate 1/4 of the K11 dish. The portions was generous enough for us to have it for lunch the next day. Be aware that this place serves Korean BBQ, so it does get smoky and the smell may stick onto your clothing for some time. read more

This is not the best Korean in town, but it will definitely do. On my second and third visit, I ordered the Kimchi Jigae, which is spicy kimchi, pork and tofu soup served in a hot stone pot. Add some rice and it's delicious. Tasted very authentic with limitless spice and flavor. I've also tried the Dol Set Bi Bim Bap, but something wasn't right and I found myself adding more and more sauce just to get the right flavor, which never was the case. I have tried making it myself, so I know a lot goes into marinating and cooking all of the vegetables in a very specific way, but I'd hit up another Korean restaurant for some tasty BiBimBap (Seoul Garden) They've got a great location in the Asian Town Center which has a variety of things to do on a crappy day. Get some cheap produce and ethnic food at the grocery! Watch the martial arts class! Visit the art galleries! Listen to a poetry read! It's a fun little plaza it is. read more

Sigh. I heard Miega gamed it's fame when it had a booth at the Cleveland Asian Festival and was asked to start a restaurant. Because of that, I was really excited about their food. Sad to admit, it's not that authentic and Seoul Garden out in Parma is still way better. Pros: good amount of good, nice variety of sides Cons: not authentic enough, their food is a bit on the sweet side (specially the apChae), service was slow. Side dishes-- my favorite part of Korean restaurants are always the sides. Miega has one of the better variety of side dishes in Cleveland. Sadly, it's still not as good and as much as Seoul Garden's. And, if my friend and I didn't ask for their steamed egg side dish, they wouldn't have brought that out... which indicates a bit of bad service or frugality? Entree-- I love that they give big portions for the Kalbi but it didn't taste very authentic and it was a bit too sweet for me. The Japchae was the same-- big portions, but a bit sweet. I think Miega is a decent Korean restaurant in Cleveland, but it could be better. read more

They changed the menu and chef. Used to be tasty, but no more. The waitress only offers one dish of source for two. The taste of small dishes, barbecue source, meat and soup all changed. Won't come back. read more

I went here with a friend on a weekday and lucky they close later than 9 because none of the other Korean places were still open. Anyhow this place just opened not too long ago and the place is pretty much decked out. Great traditional door that can found in the Korea houses used mainly as their exit door. Each table has a bell service option which I find awesome and rare in Cleveland. So anytime you need something, just ring the bell and someone would come attend you. On to the food, this place has a great selection to choose from. From your traditional appetizers such as Korean dumplings and Ddukkbokki, they also had a Chinese-Korean dishes like Jjangmyun that I like so much and Korean BBQ! This place has it all and the prices were a bit pricey but the portions were plentiful. We ordered their ddukbokki and tried it for the first time. I was disappointed due to the lack of taste. In other words, it was mainly all of the rice cakes in a pool of tasteless red chili paste. It wasn't hot enough and maybe I have a standard from eating from Seoul but I was not a big fan of their version whatsoever. There were fish cakes, onions in the dish but when it comes to Korean food, the chili paste is everything. For the main entree, I ordered their jjangmyun and this was exceptionally tasteful. The pork was tender and the black bean sauce was great. I'd have to come back to try their BBQ! read more

I will say I was very excited about this restaraunt because im a big fan of korean bbq. Plus, I am true believer of family style eating as well. I will say the shopping complex thisbrestaraunt isnt the prettiest but this is never something I judge a place on. The service was nice, and the staff did their best to be attentive to us. I would like to say that the food was overall very tasty EXCEPT for the pork belly. The pork belly was tough and beyond bland - I recognize that they provided supplemental condiments for the dish. Nevertheless, compared to the steak, shrimp, and bulgogi, the pork belly was a huge letdown. Currently, unsure about whether I would five this restaraunt another try. read more

Absolutely the greatest, best, most authentic Korean BBQ in Cleveland. My fiance and I go here maybe once a month - we want to go more, as we are constantly craving it, but we need to set some boundaries! The location is a bit funny, it is on the second floor of a shopping plaza - we have rarely seen any other stores open in the building, but there still seems to be some people around. There is also the grocery store right on the first floor that we always stop at before to pick up some goodies. The food - amazing. We have our favorite go-tos but always try something new. By far our favorite is the C4 chicken with sweet and spicy sauce, it is just phenomenal and has the perfect amount of crispiness and spice. We get this every time. We also always get their bibibop which is also cooked to perfection. I cant name everything else we've gotten, because like I said, we always try a new dish when we are there and it is always amazing - but we've tried their short ribs, octopus, etc, all great. We also have done their Miega BBQ, which is very yummy and the staff is so helpful, however their prepared dishes are so great that we usually go with those. Another amazing thing here is there special spicy gochuchang sauce that they have bottled at every table. We literally put it on everything and whatever it is, it is just SO GOOD. The other amazing news is the ~7 authentic side dishes come with everything. They change it up based on what is available, in season, and it is great to taste the new concoctions they come up with. We always love each and every one of them. The other great thing I love about this restaurant is the staff and authenticity. It is family owned and all the recipes come from the grandmother who splits her time from this restaurant to her other one in Korea (can't remember which town). They also are so so sweet and accommodating. Everything she makes is so authentic and delicious, i cant say enough about it. JUST GO and be so please :) read more

I have been to this place way too many times and every time I go there, I order their chap chae (clear noodle with beef). It was absolutely the most beautiful thing they created there! Other stuff were just regular korean food. I would not recommend their rice cake dish - the color was orange, not red so that's off and it tasted off too. Not sure what went wrong but just bad. The service there was pretty good. You can ask for more side dishes if you finish them too early (I always do that). They also have a big karaoke room across the hall way and we celebrated our friend's birthday in that giant party room. read more

I've been back recently. It's improved. The quality of the ban panchan has increased, as has the food quality. I've ordered things besides the hot pots, and was absolutely blown away. My earlier assessment of the restaurant being empty frequently has also fallen by the wayside. I'm glad their business is picking up, they certainly deserve it! read more

My favorite Korean place in Cleveland! The service is always fast and friendly and food is really quality. My favorite is the hot pot (which costs around $30 and can be shared by at least four people). They have multiple options but I like the one with octopus and bolgolgi. I've also gotten the soondubu (amazing), bi bim bap, kalbi, and rice cakes and all of the dishes were great. Their banchan, which is complimentary side dishes, is always really good and they bring you as many refills as you want. read more

I had never tried Korean bbq before so I was a little nervous but excited to try this place. Its inside a huge building with a grocery store, a few other restaurants, and a martial arts studio among other things. You go upstairs and the restaurant is on the right as soon as you get to the top. They have the obvious choice of different meats for grilling such as ribeye, brisket, chicken, and other but they also have a pretty extensive menu of other items as well. We decided to go with the ribeye to bbq and a dumpling soup to try as well. The flavor of the broth was very good and tasted like spring onion. The dumplings were ok I felt like they lacked some flavor. The ribeye our server brought out looked like very good quality and she started the cooking process for us. They serve it with lettuce, rice, and various other ingredients to add to the flavor of the beef. It was a really fun experience and one I would recommend to people who are picky about trying new foods since the flavors are pretty basic with the bbq. My only complaint is that I wish the beef had a little more flavor. read more

Stumbled upon this gem. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing. The staff was so friendly and helpful, definitely my favorite restaurant now. read more

Since this place opened up several years ago, it's become the place to go for Korean food (and karaoke) in Cleveland, and it's easy to see why: - They've got a nice big selection of stuff on their menu, from haemul pajeon (seafood pancakes) to at least 3 types of jigae, and I have not found anything yet which I disliked. Of course, the bibim bop is tasty. They even have grilled whole fish. Yum! - Good variety of banchan (side dishes) - Prices are quite good for lunch. For dinner you do stay in the 2-dollar sign range. - The service people are always nice. And there are buttons you can press at the table if you feel bad about flagging down the servers. - Karaoke is free with dinner, and there is a fancy separate room away from the rest of the restaurant to insulate your belting friends from the other diners. - Splitting checks is easy and hassle free. Of course there are things to be aware of: - Waiting times for food and service (after you have been seated at the table) can get very, very long at peak hours. Over an hour at times. This has gotten better since they hired more staff. - There should be at least 10 people in your party if you want the karaoke room. You should reserve it in advance. And if the restaurant is closing early, you may be asked to finish your singing early. - The karaoke room is fancy but selection is limited by the less-than-up-to-date books. You punch in numbers for the songs you want, but sometimes the books have missing pages, and there doesn't seem to be another way to search for the songs you want. Overall, it's a solid Korean restaurant with a wide selection of well cooked dishes, and my first choice for Korean food in the Cleveland area. read more

I was reallllly excited to try Miega with some friends. We are on a quest to find good Korean food in Cleveland. Miega is located on the 2nd floor of the new Asia Town Center. It's a cool space and I'm glad there are some small businesses there! Miega is the lone business. The inside has an updated look with warm colors. We got there fairly early (5pm) and there were a few people, but more people came in through the night (5-6 more tables?) It definitely has the feel of a restaurant that's just starting out. I ordered the dolsot galbi bi bim bap, which is rice, vegetables and beef short ribs in a sizzling stone pot. The rice got REALLY crispy, which was amazing! Mmm. The galbi was ok. I think it wasn't as soft as it could have been and the cut seemed a little thick. I also tried the kimchi jigae. I'm more sensitive to spiciness, but my friends said it was a little tame for the spicy ones they've had in the past. I guess the reason Miega is a 3 is because we are still on a quest for really good MEAT. As my bf says...no one does meat better than Koreans! Also - do not be mislead. There are no BBQ grills on the table here. They do have LA Korean BBQ that you can order though. (I just learned about what LA BBQ is! Basically, it's Korean American bbq v. the kind you would find in Korea.) Banchan was good - they gave us 8 little dishes/appetizers. They were pretty decent. I thought we'd be able to finish them all, but we couldn't by the end of the meal... read more

Excellent food, awesome grilling at the table, extremely friendly staff! This gem is tucked away on the second floor of a shopping center, so it's easy to miss. If you order the food make sure you do the back page of the menu and get the ribs. Trust me, this is the route to go. read more

Me and my mom came here and it was her first time at a Korean place! The waiter was incredibly nice and helpful. The restaurant is beautiful and plays Korean shows as well! First we sat down, and the waiter recommended the short ribs to us, and they did not disappoint! Definitely highly recommend! read more

I went here for dinner last night with one of my best friends, on the suggestion of another friend. Best friend (J) and I love Korean food, and almost went to Ha Ahn, our usual favorite food joint. Neither of us had been to Miega, so we opted for something new. Initially, we went to Korea House thinking it might be the place we were looking for. Miega is basically across the street, housed in a warehouse type building that also has dance classes, martial arts, and an Asian market. The parking lot was kind of dim, and it took us a minute to find the sign so we knew we were in the right place (that might be our faults - we can both be a little ditzy!) So one thing that is confusing is that some signs say "Miga" and others "Miega" (I went with Miega because how could Yelp be wrong?). They have Korean barbecue, but we didn't partake (partially because they didn't ask and we were sat at a table that doesn't accommodate it). We arrived 3 hours before close, so I'm not sure what that was about. I ended up going with Dduk Man Du Kuk (a broth based soup that had dumplings and Korean rice cakes, served with white rice). I usually opt for Bi Bim Bop, but wanted to try something new. J went for Bul Go Gi (which came out sizzling on a cow shaped platter! Sorry for the lack of pictures, we were STARVING). As usual at Korean restaurants, you get the little appetizers. I liked that our server asked if we needed any more (more of the kim chi! also, i think we had butternut squash which I devoured). I was a little bummed that my soup came out, then a few minutes later the appetizers, but J had to wait a little more for his food. It seemed worth it, and he enjoyed it. We both agreed that Ha Ahn is better (although has less seating). I like that there are some glass walls so you can look out in to the mall area (I got to watch people practicing martial arts). There was a dance class going on further down, and the music was loud, but not annoying to us (also, high five to the salsa dancers! You all rocked and we loved watching you). I didn't finish my soup (I was full), but the server didn't ask if I wanted it to go or if I was done. She just whisked it away. There wasn't a ton left, but I would have taken it for lunch today! Since I checked in on Yelp, I ended up with a coupon for 15% off, which they easily took off. So, overall, the food was good but not great. The ambiance was a little bland, but we weren't there on a romantic date night (we both left our partners at home!). Our food didn't take long to come out at all, and if you don't dig Korean, there is a limited Chinese food portion of the menu. read more

Doesn't have the LA korean style bbq but they do have the table top grill! The seasoning on the steaks are amazing and the staff is extremely on point and warm welcoming. I totally recommend this place and their food. Dont set ur standards too high and expect it to be like NY or LA. read more

The gal-bi here is exceptional. The meat has such a fresh taste, and the potstickers are also amazing not to mention the fact that they are home made. If you go there I recommend asking for Christy or Brian to be your server ! They're the best 10/10 for service and food read more

I've noticed one thing about Asian food in Cleveland is that a lot of places group Asian food all together in their restaurants. It says Korean, but they offered some Chinese food as well. Anyways I don't mind because I LOVE ALL ASIAN food you know being half Chinese and growing up in SF and all. I had the spicy pork from the lunch menu. It was $10 for SO MUCH FOOD. Not too many places in San Francisco can you get that much food for $10. The service was good and the food was great. Definitely check this place out if you're in Asian Town. (It's on the top floor near the dojo) read more

Delicious, simple dishes. Tons of banchan (variety of at least ten), including an incredible lightly fried tofu dish unique to Miega. Pajeon was tasty, as was everything we ordered. Bonus: As a non-Korean speaker, it was a nice to have the chef/owner's granddaughter walk us through the menu in English and provide recommendations. read more

For this new Korean restaurant in Cleveland, I tried the dol sat bi bim bap, which was tasty and had teh nice crusty layer of rice on the bottom (my favorite!). I wish there were more meat though. My friends and I also split a seafood pancake, which was fantasticly delicious with large chunks of seafood in it. The side dishes is really what knocked it down a star for me because they were just 'ok'. I've definitely had much better side dishes before, and I think that was a miss here. The decor was nice, and service was friendly, though a bit slow. Some tips: bathroom is outside of the restaurant to the right, and there's a karaoke room across the hallway too. I found that interesting. Restaurant was nicely crowded when we went on Saturday night around 7PM. read more

Clearly, the trend for me has been Asian food as one can tell I really love it. Miega is also a new place I tried recently and while I never really experienced Korean BBQ, I am happily a convert now. Such a cute little place on Superior--where so many of the Asian places are--and always packed. When we went recently, I ended up getting deep fried chicken and it was incredible. My friend decided on the Angelfish and while it seems strange, it was amazing. They have such a diverse menu that anyone can find something here. I also ordered some pancake and dumplings to take home and they were great--even re heated the next day. Again, nothing super swanky, but really great. read more

Food is downright dammed tasty. Pan chans could use a pick me up. But the Sam Google Sal is perfect, and one of the best Twaeng Chan Chi-gees I've hard since living in korean. Prices are crazy affordable for a US based Korean BBQ joint. Highly recommended. read more

Miega Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Been here two times and both experiences were similar... bad service and mediocre food. The first visit I was satisfied with the food, but the service sucked badly. I know the place is owned by an immigrant family, and service in some asian(also Europe) countries is not expected to be at the level of the US. But with that said, I have traveled in the Philippines, Korea, Thailand, UK, mainland Europe, Japan, etc., and never experienced service this pathetic. When you get the waiter to your table, order everything because you aint seeing him again until you get the bill. I should mention, both times I had to go to the counter to ask for the bill despite ringing the bell on the table several times. The second visit was the clincher. My wife ordered the bbq, where they bring the grill to the table and you cook it yourself. One of the staff had the nerve to come over and turn off the grill because the party behind us complained. Firstly, don't have the bbq if your ventilation sucks. Second, don't expect that passive display of disrespect to dissuade a guy like me... I cranked it back up and cooked that shit well done. It was either that or walk out without paying... which was an option. Never again will I go to this dump. My wife likes the market downstairs and that is as close as we will get to miega henceforth. read more

Great KBBQ place in downtown CLE. Wish they had rice paper as a side dish in addition to their other options and that they were each available at all times. Still, all in all one of the only authentic kbbq restaurants I've found in CLE. read more

Delicious and authentic Korean bbq! The best in Cleveland!! We have been several times and have enjoyed each and every visit. Lots of tasty items to try on menu. Prices are fair for the portion sizes. Staff is always friendly and helpful to those who have not had Korean cuisine. Well worth a trip into Asiatown to experience this! read more

First foray into Korean food, and I was pretty impressed. Don't be afraid to ask questions (we had NO clue what the "sides" were when they came to the table), and enjoy the unquestionable goodness that is Korean food. After your meal, go downstairs to the market - a great day out! read more

I got the teriyaki chicken lunch box, which is definitely a lot of food for the price, so that was nice. The flavor was pretty good, not the best I've had but it was decent. The service though was very very slow and I don't think they were really that busy at the time I was there. I would probably come back because my friend really liked the meal she got, so it is probably worth trying different things on the menu. read more

Miega Restaurant - Teriyaki chicken lunch box - Korean Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

This fairly new restaurant is on the second floor of Asia Town Plaza on Superior Ave. not to be confused with Asia Plaza on Payne. This establishment is nicely decorated with an inviting, comfortable atmosphere. We arrived around 3pm for a late lunch; we were the only diners there. The service was good, attentive and efficient. Even though it was 3pm, they allowed me to get their lunch specials (the menu said lunch was from 11am - 2pm). I ordered the braised short ribs lunch box which came with a bowl of miso soup. Our server brought us 5 side dishes as accompaniment to the entrees we ordered. The food came quickly. My lunch box had six different items within - the beef, fried rice, salad, noodles, radish, and dumplings. It was a lot of food for $11.95 The food was tasty and I would get it again, but perhaps with another type of meat (they has pork and chicken too). My spouse ordered some pot stickers as an appetizer which arrived super quickly. Those were served with a nice dipping sauce and were delicious. She also ordered a tempura dish which she did not like because it was not served with any sauce. (I think it was supposed to and the server forgot) I would visit this restaurant again to try other dishes. read more

I've heard it's the nest Korean BBQ in Cleveland, but I didn't see the resemblance. The BBQ menu is expensive, and ours was over cooked a bit. We split the second combo between four people and we couldn't finish it all. The individual plates also had pretty good portions, but the taste didn't make up for the price. I probably wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend. read more

Worst restaurant with worst service ever. She had been rude and impatient from the very beginning. She literally threw the straws on the table, and didn't give us any of the items like bowls for soup, bbq sauce for meat, etc. The way she spoke to us was also irritating. It turned out that we had soup without bowls, ate meat without bbq sauce and finished our dinner with anger. I will never go to Miega ever again and will definitely tell my friends not to go. If you want to have a highly unpleasant meal with your friends and get really angry at the service, Miega is the place! read more

Was craving Korean Chinese food and it looked like it was the only one in Cleveland. Found out it was on the 2nd floor of this giant asian mall building. I ordered jjajjangmyun and tangsooyuk (black bean sauce noodle and sweet and sour pork). The portions were very generous. Thought the jjajjangmyun was a bit bland and the pork a little soggy. It's good if you're craving Korean Chinese food, but it could be better. read more

Was in Cleveland for a week and ordered take out for the first time and it was just average. Their kimbab was really delicious though. The rice was still warm and it was fresh and yummy. Their kimchi fried rice tasted of fish sauce which I found it to be a bit overwhelming. Wish there was more kimchi in it. Their tofu spicy pork dish was just average as well. Had hard time finding the place, the GPS stopped me in front of Korea House, which was another Korean restaurant. This one is located further down the same street, inside a big old empty mall, on the second floor. I'm not from Cleveland and I found this location to be rather strange. But alas, I fed my stomach and that's all that matters. read more

First Korean BBQ I've been to in cle. Only one tv to watch k pop, which, let's be real, is a large part of my meal aesthetic. Aside from that, Miega delivers lightning fast service. We got a few different meals to try, and the bulgogi was great, which is definitely my favorite. I did not enjoy the seafood pancake, so I don't have much to say in regards to their seafood. Just so you know, it's on the second floor of a huge grocery store; because it took us a second to figure that out. I like that I could just get bulgogi and not have to pair it with a different meat; but overall I thought it was a little pricier than other kbbq's I've been to. But, you get tons of sides and overall it was a great time. Would definitely go again. read more
