I got the lunch pork bulgogi take out and it was super good. Spicier than expected but I enjoyed it. It also came with kimchi which I really liked. I think the take out made it a little soggy. Next time we'll try to eat there. read more

My favorite Korean restaurant in town. It's a hole in the wall location, nothing fancy, but the food is authentic and amazing. Plus you get all the banchan small side dishes. It's been favorite with locals for years. read more

We stopped into Min Ga for a carryout order over the lunch service. We were greeted very warmly and offered complementary hot corn tea. The ambiance was good - busy with plenty of servers to accommodate the restaurant. I ordered the beef Bulgagi and vegetable dumplings. The beef was a large portion and included a heaping portion of rice and all the kimchi sides (I don't know what all of them are but included pickled cucumbers, potatoes, kimchi). The kimchi filled a whole take out container. The beef was slightly sweet and very tender. The dumplings were delicious- long and crispy but tender inside and included a dipping sauce. Next time I'll eat there so the food is super fresh. read more

Looking for an authentic Korean restaurant in the Columbus area, I was recommended Min-Ga by a few of my classmates. As soon as you walk into the restaurant, it feels like you are entering your grandma's house. The staff was incredibly nice and was attentive during our meal. Between three people, we shared the Seafood Pancake, Jajangmyeon, and Seafood Tofu Soup. All were delicious and flavorful. I really enjoyed the complimentary banchan that was provided, especially the variety of kimchi. I will definitely come back to try their other dishes! read more

First time in for lunch here at Min-Ga. We ordered the Stone Pot Bi-Bim Bap and the Japche. They were very tasty-- especially the Stone Pot where the rice got nice and crispy. We didn't like the bon chan as much as we have at some other area restaurants, but we would definitely come back here. Can't wait to try some other things. read more

Summer's Coolest Craving: Naengmyeon at @mingakorean When the heat hits, we head straight to our favorite hidden gem--Ming-Ga Korean--for a bowl of naengmyeon that's pure refreshment. This chilled Korean noodle soup has been our summer staple for years, and it never fails to deliver. The noodles are perfectly chewy, swimming in an icy, tangy broth that's both invigorating and comforting. Topped with crisp cucumber, pickled radish, and a slice of tender beef, every bite is a balance of texture and flavor that cools you from the inside out. We've tried nearly everything on the menu, and it's all been consistently delicious--but naengmyeon holds a special place in our hearts. It's not just a dish; it's a ritual, a memory, a moment of calm in the summer rush. If you haven't discovered Min-ga yet, consider this your sign. Go for the naengmyeon, stay for the warmth, and ambiance, leave with a new favorite. read more

Highlight: Seafood Pancake ($14.95), Steamed Pork Dumpling ($11.95), Steamed Kimchi Dumpling ($11.95), Duk Bok Ki ($12.95), LA Kalbi ($24.95), Kimchi Jige ($13.95), Jap Chae ($13.95), Zazang Myun ($14.95), Naeng Myun ($14.95) The restaurant offers a variety of options, from noodles to soups to other specialty items. All of the items came out hot and steamy. The Zazang Myun tasted more on the peanut buttery side. The Kimchi Jige leaned on the sour taste with firm tofu. The LA Kalbi was on the chewy side but well marinated. Overall, good portions for the price. I enjoyed my meal, but nothing stood out. Hospitality: I like that the food is brought out as it becomes ready, rather than waiting for everything to be done before bringing it out. Honorable Mention: Lots of seating, but a wall separates the restaurant. read more

Let's get into Min-Ga and their authentic dishes and amazing service! We started things off with the kimchi pancake that had assorted seafood and kimchi. 10/10 I think this is the best kimchi pancake I've ever had, it didn't lack flavor whatsoever. Next up was the LA Kalbi. It was exactly what we expected, delicious beef short rib with an incredible marinade that came out sizzling hot! Hopefully I get to try the Kalbi next which is the same thing but without *bone. We also got Japchae and Yuk Ke Jang (spiciest dish we had, but dipped with rice it was pretty good!) which weren't necessarily my favorite dishes, but I'm glad I tried something new. The best part of the entire meal was the banchan or the side dishes provided. It came with a few different variations of kimchi (cubed radish kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and the standard cabbage kimchi). I also got to try bean sprouts for the first time as well which was interesting. I can't wait to be back and make my way through the menu. The staff was incredibly kind as well. read more

I've been going to Min-Ga for years and they truly never disappoint! The food is always delicious and authentic, so much so that I think they stand out even against the Korean restaurants I've tried in K-Town in Los Angeles. The ambiance is a typical family vibe which always makes me feel relaxed. No fancy frills, they know they don't need it when their food is this good! Service wise I want to take a minute to talk about impressed I am with them. I usually order takeaway over the phone with them and they have truly never ever missed or messed up an order. I order many different dishes and they always without fail get the order right, package the soups and dry food securely, and even put in extra banchan / side dishes for me to enjoy! Love this place and hope to be able to come eat here for many more years to come! read more

A friend once told me that you get better ban chan (side dishes) if you speak Korean. Not sure if they can tell that my Korean is bad or not but I got the same ban chan that everyone else got which is still really good haha. Minga is a Korean classic that never disappoints tho. Their seafood pancake is the perfect amount of crispness and fluffiness, with a generous serving to boot. Their kimbap is decent but elevated when dipped in broth and their squid bokum is a must have! read more

Beware of this restaurant if you are a vegetarian. I've been there twice and ordered bibimbop without meat and both times it has come with a huge pile of beef on top. Unfortunately, I ordered takeout. I was a fool not to check before I left the restaurant. I won't be back! read more

I've been visiting this restaurant since 2008 and my last review is very dated so I wanted to drop back in and say, I still LOVE Min Ga. They have the best Korean menu in the city. When I used to visit Korea, I loved duk mandu guk. I was so happy to see they had it here and I order it almost every time I go to Min Ga. It's so delicious and a perfect cold weather meal. I think I could eat it every day. They provide the best banchan (Korean side dishes). I clean every little tiny plate every time I stop by. The service is friendly and efficient. You rarely have to wait for anything. The space is somewhat small but it doesn't feel cramped, but rather, intimate. Best of all, the prices are very fair. Don't pass this one up! read more

Service at Mjn-Ga is fast and friendly! This is probably my favorite Korean restaurant in town:) This time around we got beef bulgogi, tteokbokki and a bottle of peach makgeolli. Everything was so delicious! The restaurant is always clean and organized:) read more

If I had to recommend a Korean restaurant for someone new to cbus, I would say Min-Ga. Not only are they generous with their banchan (9???), they are one of the only restaurants I know that serve soondae :hearteyes: swoondae The quality of their dishes is pretty dang decent and I feel like it's a hotspot not only for OSU students but also for plebs. The ladies who run the establishment are very attentive and efficient, and the restaurant is kept very neat and tidy. read more

Everything was delicious here especially fell in love with the free appetizers. Couldn't get enough! The service was spot on and the ambience was comfortable. Seems to be popular amongst the Korean citizens that's one of the best parts about eating somewhere where you don't know local go there you know it's gotta be good. In addition, there was plenty of food left over for tomorrow's pleasure. I tried the mackerel and some other kind of mackerel fish, which was absolutely remarkable. Thank you for a fine dining experience at a beer budget price. read more

Today is the first time I came to this restaurant with my mother. I am quite disappointed with this restaurant and the staff. I don't know anyone like me when it comes to seeing employees with unhappy attitudes. I went in and ordered Gopchang bokum (number 37), I asked the staff if I could order it less spicy? I don't know if the staff understood English, but I heard the staff say something but I didn't understand so I asked again and they said the same thing. I think the staff spoke in their own language so I didn't understand and I felt the staff was not happy with me and I felt the staff was even annoyed with me. I don't know if it's because we're all Asian that the staff here don't like Asians. Also the food I ordered today was not good, I ordered hot stone bibimbap (number 40), Gopchang bokum (number 37), Galbi Tang Soup (number 57) and beef Bulgogi (number 23). For me, I found the Hot Stone bibimbap and Galbi Tang Soup to be quite bland and lacking in flavor. As for Gopchang bokum, I feel like it's not washed properly. When I eat it, I feel a little bitter from the beef tripe because my mother said that if it's washed properly, it won't have the bitter taste of the beef tripe. The rest of the food is okay. This is the first and last time I come to this restaurant. I will never come to this restaurant again. The food is not to my taste and the staff has a bad attitude! read more

Min-Ga Korean Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Every bit as good as SF Bay Area Korean Food...and I married into a Korean family who's been to them all! The Seafood Pancake is perfect-balanced seafood nestled in a perfectly crisped mung bean batter is served like a pizza perfect for table sharing. Clay pot BiBimBap is scalding hot, allowing you to toast your rice to your liking. If you don't know what I'm talking about, order it and love rice. All protein choices are delicious and lean. The various bulgogi chooses are all solid and spot-on. At least one in your party should order for the full range of BANCHAN (sides). Banchan is what distinguishes Korean restaurants. The quality of brined, pickled and fermented sides is more authentically complete here than any other on Columbus. Try them all and discuss preferences with your party-then wash them down with Soju! Last time I ate there I was so full I had to walk the airport concourse x4 to sit comfortably. Min Ga is that good. Plus, the eye roll when I ask for thirds of some banchan reminds me of family! read more

We've been eating here for many years. If you ask me where is the best Korean food in Columbus, I would tell you it's definitely Min-Ga. We always order some soup in the cold weather, and the cold noodles in summer time. A lot of people don't know they have another half with a lot of seats. Anyway, Min-ga is the place where we always go after watching Korean shows. Just can't say no to Korean food. Haha! read more

I finally got my MUL NAENGMYEON and boy was it worth the wait! The noodles were tender but not mushy, and just perfect! We were in Columbus for one of our dogs and tried this place out. My husband had the kimchi jjigae, it was great and filling. We split a mandu the was crunchy and fresh. We loved the sides too. Service was quick and friendly. We were talking about returning before we made it to the car. Our next trip can't get here soon enough. read more

Dishonest. Calculated the automatic 20 percent of gratuity based out of subtotal plus the sales tax.

Always an incredible experience at Min ga. We have been going there for more than 15 years now. My kids pretty much grew up with these aunties making their tasty dishes. read more

I go with some buddies for lunch as often as I can. We always get a couple orders of dumplings, the bulgogi and boneless short ribs. That's it. Once someone got the Bibimbap and it was fine but I have no need to divert from the core order that will earn 5 stars every time. read more

Went to Min-Ga on a cloudy day looking to warm up. This place is a gem! Service was lovely, all the workers were very kind and attentive. We ordered and got our food in less than 15 minutes. I got the jampong and it was delicious! Lots of squid for such a fair price, and the serving was huge, flavorful and best of all warmed me right up. My friend got the bulgogi and it came with 8, 10? banchan/ side dishes - these were good as well. My friend also got the bibimbap which was delicious and a generous serving. Such a cozy space inside, with lots of seating. I will definitely be coming back regularly :) read more

I think Min-Ga is officially my favorite Korean restaurant in town now! You can easily pass it on Bethel Rd if you're not paying attention. They have plenty of parking in the area. We were seated right away, but for a Tuesday night it was pretty packed! The employees are kind and quick about serving you. We ordered the tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) as an appetizer and then the jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and dolsot bibimbap as our entrees. The pricing wasn't too terrible for the amount of food you get. Of course they start you off with the most amazing side dishes. The fish cakes are always my favorite. The jajangmyeon was okay and I thought it could've used more flavor. The bibimbap was good, but I would've much rather had the spinach instead of iceberg lettuce. They fill your water and check in with you a just right amount. Will be back! read more

Nice homey restaurant-can be a bit loud sometimes. The food tastes very homemade. We loved their galbi. The hot stone bibimbap was just okay as well as the shrimp bokum. The banchan was abundant and we loved most of them. The service is nice and fast. The place is clean and welcoming. read more

Min-Ga is located on Bethel Road in the strip mall across the street from Micro Center. I have been going here for years and LOVE their lunch menu that runs until 2:30 pm. The hot stone bibimbap comes crackling hot and topped with fresh veggies, beef, and a fried egg. The banchans are flavorful. My favorites are the fish cake and kimchi. Service is brisk, precise, and friendly. I highly recommend Min-Ga for you next Korean adventure! read more

A little restaurant in a plaza in bethel. The food came out quick and the waitress was so nice and I believe one of the owners came to see how we're doing and I told her I love love loved her kimchi also she gave me a little to take home to eat with my leftovers! What a sweetie. read more

This restaurant gets better every time we go, and this time we had two different soups, Seafood Noodle Soup and Yuk Ke Jang (brisket soup). The brisket soup was delicious, mild, good portion. The sea food soup wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad, maybe for your taste is good but we thought it was to plain, if you like sea food give it a try maybe your a missing out. This was our 4th time coming and we are planning to come again. We had before Hot Stone Bibimbap and it's something you need to try here and the stir fry sweet noodles are really good as well. Now servers ladies, almost all of them are friendly, there are a few exceptions but it doesn't mean they are rude, is just some make your experience a little bit better than others. read more

My favorite Korean restaurant in Columbus, been back at least 30 times. Very homey, the staff are all attentive and warm. Love that they have cold noodles (jjolmyeon and bibim-naengmyeon), but disappointed they no longer have the bibim-guksu style on the menu. Their stews, mandu, and pajeon are all great as well. read more

What a sweet little spot in Columbus! We placed a take out order during peak lunch time on a Saturday. It took about an hour. Plan ahead, it can get very busy! The food was absolutely worth it. We ordered an assortment to share. The bulgogi and kalbi were both flavorful and tender. The Korean roll and tteokbokki were also very good. I loved the assortment of banchan! I'd order everything again, it feels like a lot of love went into the dishes! I highly recommend this spot :) read more

We had the grilled mackerel, bone-in beef ribs, seafood pancake, and squid kui. Everything was good, and I loved the Korean auntie servers! Clean and great service, the only minor complaint is that the beef ribs were a bit chewy for our taste! We will be coming back for the soup bowls; every other table got it, but we were too stuffed to order more haha. read more

I've had their food a couple times because they're such a convenient place for authentic Korean food. l love their Galbitang - always hits the right spot and they're very generous with their meat. The Kimchi stew this time was a little less umami and didn't have as much depth of flavor as some previous ones I've had. We caught them on a weeknight dinner and they were PACKED! The only had two people running the front of house and they got so really busy and we ended up having to wait a while for food and later, the check, but they're super nice and lovely. Overall, good, quick, and authentic Korean take out run by great people. It gets busy though, so make sure you plan accordingly! read more

My girls have eaten here often but it was my first time having their food. We got take out. The online ordering was not working so we called and our food was ready when promised. We got kalbi Jjim , the sweet potato noodles were tasty. Beef bulgoki, my favorite of the dishes we got and Odeng udon. The two entrees came with rice and there was a container of kimchi and other toppings. The 3 of us shared all the dishes and there was plenty of leftovers for the next day. Parking was tight in their lot. It's a very busy strip with many restaurants . read more

Min- Ga has been serving traditional Korean food for more than 20 years. I've been eating here since they opened and have never had a bad experience. The Korean offerings range from traditional hot pot bulgogi, hot stone bibimbap, and dumplings to Korean BBQ, and stir fries. Several of the dishes have beef, intestine, pork, neckbones, and other meats beyond chicken and beef. Several seafood dishes are also on the menu. Min-ga can be really busy on occasion, so I am forgiving of a slightly slower service from time to time- and that's a good thing. They also offer limited alcohol, selections of wine, beer, and various soft drinks. Find the restaurant off Bethel Road, in a strip mall with a few other solid Asian restaurants , tucked behind McDonald's. read more
