I love Silla. Have been going here for decades. It is a true East Asian karaoke bar and restaurant with simple minimalist ambiance, authentic Korean food (and the freshest sushi rolls around) and very friendly service. Good saké and soju too. They do have gluten free options and seem to know what they are talking about. read more

I came in at 11pm ish to get carry out. Everyone who helped me was super sweet and the food came out quickly. The food was AWESOME!!!!!

We love this restaurant. The food is amazing and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is very friendly, and the ambiance is top notch! You should try it. read more

Such a hidden gem... The food is amazing and very nice staff try the dukboki!! the bibibap and japchae is also really good

We live very close to this restaurant and used to go once in a while but since the change in ownership we go more often and look forward to it. The new owner welcomes you like you are a guest in her home. The new decor is very calming and welcoming, and the food is amazing. We've tried different things each time we've been there and have enjoyed them all. There is not a large staff so it may take a while to get your order in but the side dishes, at least 9 of them, and a salad keep you well occupied as you wait. The portions are huge so I look forward to a snack the next day as well. We will continue to go there for really good Korean food and a friendly, hospitable restaurant. read more

This Korean restaurant is probably as close to a true "hole in the wall" as you can find in Columbus. It's located in a strip mall off of Henderson Rd next to the Sears Hardware store, and you actually have to go down an alley off on the side of the Sears Hardware store to access the entryway. The interior decor of this restaurant will not blow you away in any way. It feels like a more run down version of Akai Hana down the street. They have no windows, so it may be depressing to eat here on a warm sunny summer day. But with that said, the Korean food here are solid and the service is probably the best out of the Korean restaurants in town in my experience. While I've never done a side by side comparison of the prices, they seem competitive in that regard as well. From what I can tell however, they don't have BBQ grills at the tables for Korean BBQ like Kaya and San-Su does. That's an unfortunate downside. They do have a sushi menu, but I've never tried it so I can't comment. I've also never done karaoke here, so I can't comment on that either. read more

The owner is the sweetest and nicest person ever. Last time I came they were closed for an event and she promised a free pancake, I reminded her today about I got my free pancake. She is a women of her word. The food was amazing!! My new favorite spot. read more

The food was really really good especially the seafood pancake. The service was terrible though. Definitely could have used more servers. There was close to no service except for the initial water and free appetizers. People were singing Karaoke in the background really really loud and this confused the servers to send their dishes somehow. We had to wait about 90min for two courses. The food was not disappointing but the service really is. read more

I've been going to Best Massage off of Bethel road for quite some years. The same owner also owns Restaurant Silla. I highly highly recommend both establishment. The owner, Moon is super personable and creates a family like atmosphere for her customer's! read more

I cannot overstate how much I love Silla! The atmosphere is phenomenal, the staff are so kind and welcoming, and the food is the best in town. It's a little hard to find the front door, as the entrance is located in the alley way, but honestly that just makes my dining experience at Silla feel that much more unique and charming. I wish more establishments had such character to them. The portions are perfect and the cost, while more a couple dollars more than a run to the local burger chain, is more than worth it for the quality and quantity of food. I cannot tell you how long I have been searching for some good Tangsuyuk! You can definitely expect me to come again eager and with company. read more

Absolutely wonderful and warm staff. The food was incredible; it came out fast, hot, and the portions were great. The restaurant itself has warm lighting, lovely decorations, and calming music. At night it turns into an exciting karaoke restaurant with Korean songs. It is a little hard to find as it is between two buildings but it is entirely worth it. read more

Food: 4 Decor: 3 Service: 4 I came here with two friends for dinner around 7pm Saturday night. My buddy, Sophia L, is fluent in Korean, she ordered everything http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/p6fXUm2l77xr-tF9e3VaqA?select=EhB9UzjYWg3bcVgqDZFGWw#LgKfqe5Tl2Fj1cYnrMfzOA. Since I have no idea what the individual dishes were other than the picture captions, I'll suffice to say that it was very good overall. I really liked the beef http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/p6fXUm2l77xr-tF9e3VaqA?select=EhB9UzjYWg3bcVgqDZFGWw#neU9G7NZlIz29GC0GCGLFA and soup http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/p6fXUm2l77xr-tF9e3VaqA?select=EhB9UzjYWg3bcVgqDZFGWw#LrRdXpOtOwU5o91PjpIn0g, and I thought the sweet and sour http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/p6fXUm2l77xr-tF9e3VaqA?select=EhB9UzjYWg3bcVgqDZFGWw#IwbPGtQCoNYmKPXgjmKTNg was good. read more

Overpriced. What they actually charge does not match the price listed on the physical and virtual menu. read more

One of the first Korean restaurants I have been to in Columbus. It took my family a while to get seated, it wasn't that busy. There was one long table of 20 people who were about to wrap up and leave, that seemed to occupy the staff. Even when we were seated, it took a good 20 mins for a server to get to us. I am not sure if they were understaffed the night I went, but it seems so. My family got a variety of dishes, from apps to entrees that range from meats, seafood, soup, stews, and grilled items. Meat dishes were overcooked, fish (mackerel) was dry, soups were bland. I don't know if it was the night we went, but most of the dishes just seemed to be half-hearted cooking. I would give this place another try, but I am not in a hurry to do so. I rather explore other options for authentic Korean food in Columbus. One thing this restaurant has going for them is that they are open late and serve hot food. Although service was shotty, I think they were doing their best. read more

Great Korean food and open until 2 am! They have a special every night - Wednesdays are $8 Hot stone bibimbap which is delicious. It's a little hard to find but it's down a small alley next to the shuttered Sears Hardware building. Also they have super fresh, great priced sushi. read more

Silla is the go-to Korean in Columbus. The restaurant is tucked away in an unsuspecting location but is very quaint and cozy. As with any Korean, the banchan (apps/sides) are super tasty are are great to nibble on before and during the meal. For main dishes, all of the staples are fantastic and we also were impressed by the salted mackerel and the chilled oranges for dessert (they really hit the spot) read more

I absolutely loved it here!!! The ambiance was fun and festive. It is New Year's Eve tomorrow so that must have something to do with it but they had music and Karaoke, and the service was great tonight. Not to mention the bibimbap was so good!!! Definitely will be coming back soon! I see there's some mixed reviews on here so if you are trying to decide on whether to come in or not I highly suggest you give it a shot! read more

came in a big group and had the most wonderful feast here, plus the service was wonderful. we ordered several dishes and everything was delicious -- bossam, jjamppong, jjajangmyeon, kimchi jjigae, among many others. was visiting from LA so my standards for korean food are quite high, and this totally hit the mark! will definitely be back the next time i'm in Columbus. thank you for satisfying my cravings for korean food! read more

The owner is the sweetest angel ever. This place is truly authentic and the service can be a bit slow but 100% worth it. Love this place!

I ordered via Uber Eats, and got the Korean BBQ (short ribs), and Budae Ji Gae (army stew) with ramen noodles. The soup was piping hot, with melted cheese on top, ramen noodles, and spicy broth with veggies, tofu, sausage, spam, and rice cakes. It was delicious. The short rib Korean bbq was very good, and I would order it again, but I wish there was more of the yummy banchan. I only received 4 small half-full cups of it. read more

Amazing! Was recommended by some homies and the late night vibes are immaculate , the food was mind blowing

Amazing food with very friendly staff, will recommend to come with friends and family!!! Especially must try the kimchi pancake it really good! read more

Great food,Great service, Great ambiance, great experience in general would very much recommend.

I ordered the dolsot bibimbap, which was very savory and hot. I would recommend adding sriracha to it if you like your food spicy. I also ate the spicy tuna sushi roll, which was also very good; pretty much what you would expect from any spicy tuna roll. Both were reasonably priced and tasted great with the complementary corn tea that is offered. There is a pretty good variety of side dishes. But, if you expect a large amount of sides like at other Korean restaurants, you will be disappointed. Although you can only enter the restaurant from a sketchy alley, the indoor atmosphere is casual and clean. The staff are very polite and fast to serve customers. Definitely recommend Silla if you have a date or large group. read more

Restaurant Silla - Inside Silla - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Silla rounds out the top of the list of great Korean restaurants in Columbus. It's established, they're open late, and serve some of the most authentic food around. It is a great place to come for happy hour - 4:30 to 9:30 (!) and they are open until 2am. Late night for the win (although we're more the happy hour crowd at this stage of life). Silla is also right-sized for larger groups, if you want to bring all your besties to try it out. The décor is nice, plenty of light wood and a bar/sushi bar if you're feeling cozy. The best thing to understand about Korean restaurants: they are pretty straight-forward about their cuisine, and they rarely hesitate to tell you how they feel about you ordering a dish, how you are serving/eating your dish, etc. We've had our meals "fluffed" here and when the spouse's soup was bubbling fiercely, we no sooner noticed than the owner swooped over to turn down the heat. So, be of good humor, stand your ground if you know what you want to eat, and enjoy being shown the proper way to eat your bibimbap/whole fish/noodles/sushi. ANYWAY. We ordered the seafood pancake #1 for an appetizer and picked around the menu for the other good stuff. They do have udon, teriyaki and other Japanese dishes as well as soups, jigae and rice stir-fries. I got the classic budae jigae, a stew with sausage, spiced ham, and a piece of cheese melted on top. It's really, REALLY good - the first time I ordered it, the cheese freaked me out - there's no cheese in Asian cooking! Turns out with spam, there is. It's darn good stuff. The spouse ordered the for-two chicken dori-tang, which was OUTSTANDING. Their broths are probably my favorite of anywhere. The soup was even better the next day. If you've tried Korean and you're ready for a new experience, or want to experiment with Korean food (but have other options), Silla is the place to go. read more

Restaurant Silla - Banchan & spam jigae (Cheese on my Korean stew? It's more likely than you'd think.) - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Restaurant Silla is a good choice for Korean food. The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping plaza ally on Henderson. The restaurant atmosphere is comfortable and is decorated with random posters of Korean dishes, drinks and a random odd collection of items. The staff are all unique, offering a different experience for each table. They are adequately able to serve, seem to be a bit hit and miss at times. Nothing remarkable, but not horrible. The food is good, the soups in particular the Black Goat (had it in the past) is really tasty. Everything else is good too. The value on some dishes don't really meet my expectations, but that's a personal opinion. Overall, it's a good spot that's open late and anyone should give it a try. read more

Very poor customer service. Went to place a take-out order. The woman told me to look up the menu online, and then she went to help the dine-in customers. From my count, there were only three tables with customers and few at the sushi bar. Waited for 7 minutes and the lady never returned. Left and went to Xie Wei restaurant instead. read more

My mom and I went in for an early dinner. We were the only people there at the time but were quickly put at ease by our server Shelly. She was patient, informative and the food was AMAZING! I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place! I enjoyed a delicious tofu and pork dish, some sweet beef and sticky rice as well as authentic appetizers-none of which I can remember the names of! I look forward to going again. read more

I treated my friend to a late lunch here last month for her birthday. She chose this restaurant. I was disappointed with the service. It was lack luster. We were the only two in the restaurant at 1 pm. I ordered Bulgogi. It was average. The side dishes that accompanied my entree was ok. We had to flag the hostess down to get our check.Took most of my entree home. The bulgogi left overs was average reheated. read more
