They gave me a Mother's Day gift!
Veronica W.

Jihye was amazing! Just the right amount of service, so much positive energy too. I'll ask for her in the future. The restaurant was busy but it was Saturday night so that's to be expected. The atmosphere was relaxed, fun, instead of sports on screens it was K-Pop bands. Quite fun! My family had the Korean fried chicken and loves every bite. The had the sweet soy sauce on the chicken, for an appetizer they had the buns and two specialty drinks. I had the edamame and it was hot but not scorching with just the right amount of salt. It was fresh, not frozen which mad the edamame crisp giving it a nice, from the field flavor. I then had the DONBURI HotPot Bowl with the beef, rice and clear noodles. Their beef was so tender, thinly sliced but plenty of it. Unlike some other places I have been, here it wasn't fatty or stringy. The pot was hot enough that the rice became crispy on the bottom and I LOVE THAT! It was such a generous portion that I wish I could've eaten more but just when I surrendered to the fact that I couldn't eat another yummy bite, Jihye showed up with a box for me anticipating my need. All in all I would come here again and often. I didn't have a chance to take photos as we were so hungry. But it was Mother's Day so they gave me a little gift! How thoughtful! So why aren't you here yet?

Japchae is stir-fried clear noodles with veggies and chicken.  Fried pork dumplings. Beef Bulgogi fried rice with beef. Food was delicious.

Service was friendly and eager to answer questions about the menu. The place was packed full but very little waiting. Our food came out perfect.

Plenty of food for the buck. We were there for a lunch. There is ample free parking in the lot in front. The restaurant was empty, so we chose a seat a little closer to the door. The decor was lively. A lot of to-go orders were heading out the door during our time there. The server were kind and explained the menu and a few dishes to us. The food was staggered on arrival but everything arrived correctly. The presentation of the lunch special was beautiful . Extra bonus: 10% military discount year round

We've been back a number of times and I thought it was worth an updated review. We really enjoy the place. The food is tasty, the service is great, and the restaurant is pleasant inside. The hot stone bimbimbap is great; the rice gets pleasantly crunchy as it sits a while.

If you're in the mood for some Korean-Japanese cuisine, The Namu is the best and never dissappoints. This is our go to spot whenever we crave Korean comfort food. They have the best Korean fried chicken boneless and in the bone. The tables have side call buttons so you can order whenever you are ready or need assistance. The staff is super attentive and helpful. We ordered the beef bulgogi, galbi beef spare ribs served with rice. They also serve ramen and udon noodles . All very delicious and good size portions. Love the K-pop energy and lively atmosphere. 10 out 10 spot.

Four dishes. Kimchee, radish, broccoli, fish cake.

My second time for lunch at Namu. Late lunch. I have been there once before for dinner, when they first opened. I love Korean food. I was greeted by a nice lady. Sat at a booth. The restaurant is large. There were a few customers. The food has always been good. I was told to press the button, when I was ready to order. This is normal in some Asian restaurants and especially in Japan. The menu is extensive, but they do have a great lunch menu. Including Ramen and Korean food. A young man came to take my order. I opted for a passion fruit iced tea and water. I ordered the lunch Bento Box and chose the white fried fish. Your lunch comes with the house miso soup. And four small Korean dishes served first. You get all of this for $15. No soup or four dishes were served. The waiter brings the Bento box only. He quickly walks away and nowhere to be found. I pressed the button and the nice lady comes. I ask her for the soup and the four dishes that never came. She apologizes and brings it. At no time the waiter ever returns to my table. The food is delicious and plentiful. I highly recommend the passion fruit tea, it was delicious and the best I've ever had. But, the waiter needs retraining. If it was not for the nice waitress my experience would have been worse. Here are some photos of my lunch and the tea.

Came here for a dinner date with the girls. We had reservations and was sat immediately. The service was excellent. There's a bell on the table for you to buzz the servers when you need service. I heard it's just like how it is in Korea. Our was server was informed and explained a lot of the dishes to us. Everything that we ordered was excellent. We got to try a little bit of everything. I would definitely recommend anybody to go here. And I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu.

Best spot in corral springs hands down. We got the creamy ramen I don't remember the name but show my photo and get it not too spicy! Highly recommend lychee sake and the Korean wigs on the bone!

Glass noodles

Amazing as always! The Smokey corn and cheese is like nothing you have ever tried before. We always get that. The Kimchi fries are delicious and a great pick. The kimchi is sautéed before pouring it over the perfectly cooked fires. The udon stir fry is also great! The glass noodle bowl with veggies is delicious!

I have eaten at NAMU many times. Most of the time, I order the bento lunch box, which comes with miso soup and side dishes like kimchi, tofu, broccoli, and daikon. The food quality and portion size are very good. The taste is always consistent and keeps the same good standard every time I visit. The restaurant is clean and has spacious seating, including tables for large groups. There is also a small Korean product corner inside the restaurant, which is nice to see. The service is good overall. One suggestion is that they should provide more paper napkins for customers.

Came here after a trip to the local resort, and it was fantastic. If you enjoy Korean fare, you will enjoy this. The food is great (please see photos). The staff is friendly, fast, and helpful. The restaurant is in a nice plaza and has a lovely mood inside. Lots of character. Will definitely go again if I'm in the area :)

always a good plum wine to enjoy with friends

Been here 3 times now, so I must say, it's one of our go-to Korean spots! And we know it's pretty popular because just on a Saturday afternoon, just a little after 4pm, the restaurant was already bustling! So by the time we were leaving, a little after 6pm, people were still flooding in and it was getting packed. It's a good sight to see from a small biz standpoint, I'm sure. This was me and my hubby's first time eating here for dinner. We normally came for lunch (love the bento deals). So the dinner menu forced us to finally try something *not* in a bento. I got the beef tteokbokki, and they offered a "Rosé" version (they add CHEESE to make it creamier). It was sooooo freaking GOOD! I couldn't even finish it and it made for really good leftovers for dinner the following day and the evening after that (just add a little water each time, and the flavor is still there, not diluted! Crazy cool.) Although I've enjoyed MY dish, my hubs and cousin did NOT thoroughly enjoy their dolsot bibimbaps. They said it lacked flavor even with all the sauce provided. We all had a taste test of our meats, my friend's chicken fried rice was good (and A LOT... okay, it's safe to say dinner portions are HUGE, you might as well do family style), her chicken was flavored. My beef bulgogi was flavored from the broth of my tteokbokki. But the meats of the bibimbaps had NO flavor. So I totally get why they weren't impressed with their dishes. HOWEVER, we've enjoyed all other previous dishes we've had at other visits. Just know, the concept is similar to Japan's -- when you're ready to order or need attention, there is a bell to press from the table. I kind of wish that's adopted here in the US (just my preference -- it's more efficient for them to come when ready than for them to keep coming back and ask if we're ready, or for them to not come at all when it's busy). SO if you feel like you're getting ignored, they try their best not to (it's team effort, not just that one server) but if you do, it's mostly because you didn't ring the bell lol. The only Japanese dish we had were the takoyaki appetizer. They were good but not great. But otherwise, we've enjoyed more of the Korean dishes the times we've visited. Hoping next time, the quality of the meats and flavor for the bibimbap dishes improve because it's a Korean resto staple!

They offer a mix of classic and unique menu options, such as lychee martini, spritzes, ramen, nigiri, and sushi rolls. I tried a few options but really loved the yuzu spritz the most. I had the spicy tuna roll, which was simple but delicious! I forgot to take a picture until I was halfway done. The establishment is clean and lovely, elegant and simple. Our bartender was great, very friendly with nice banter. My friends ordered several things off the menu, including the chicken ramen and several sushi rolls, all of which we shared here and there. Everything was incredible and we will be coming back! This time before 5 years pass

The servers are very knowledgeable about the menu and always happy to help guide your selections. From the moment we were seated, we were warmly greeted and our server remained attentive throughout our entire visit. He took the time to thoroughly explain the evening's specials and was genuinely enthusiastic about highlighting the sushi featured on the specials menu. There wasn't a single item we ordered that we wouldn't get again. We also had the chance to come for their Valentine's Day special, which was a prix fixe menu, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everything felt thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed. Overall, it's one of our favorite sushi spots in the area and we always look forward to coming back.
