Excellent good. Someone mentioned it was like korean mom's cooking. I agree. Friendly service too.

The bi bim bab was fantastic! Every ingredient was fresh and flavorful. Service was welcoming and fast. I loved the green tea on the side as well! read more

Woo Ri Korean - Bi bim bap - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place was easy to miss since its in the corner in a strip mall. The restaurant itself is tiny af and its run by 2 older ladies so its a bit of a wait which was fine with us. We waited probably about 15 mins to get seated and then it took about another 20 to order and get our food. We got a beef tofu stew (not picture) $17 and a beef hot stone bibimbap $19. We each got our own side dish with 4 side dishes. There was cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and a soy braised potato with fish cakes. I love a good hot stone bibimbap because of the crispy rice and this was CRISPY. I loved it. The side dishes were the perfect compliment to the dishes too. I will say my only complaint is the beef wasn't as flavorful as some other places but with how much food they're cranking out with only 2 people, they're doing a pretty great job. Despite all the people coming in and the people eating, the lady in the front was still happy and let people know there would be at least a 30 min wait to get seated. Overall, I would probably go here again if I was in the area and wanted a got stone bibimbap and didn't mind a wait but its definitely not a place to go if you're starving due to the potentially long waits. read more

I'd say a true 4.5 out of 5. Probably the best Korean food I've come across thus far in the state of Colorado! We showed up right at close so the proprietor asked us to place our order quickly which I understand. Ban Chan was excellent you could taste the freshness and the flavors blended very nicely with the stone pot bimbinbap and beef plate. Prices were reasonable and I liked how the dishes were made to order. Excited to go back hope they add mackerel to their menu. They also do catering. read more

This place is what I love about a restaurant: a hole in the wall with the best food. Woo-Ri was one of the top places I wanted to try, and when the opportunity arose, I went. Let me start by saying, that it is hard to find since most of the signs are in other languages, but the lot they are in is small, and easy to walk around to find it. When my friend and I arrived it was already nearly full at noon, but we were able to snag a table. Our server gave us tea as we sat and waited for our food. The menu is simple which is great. I ordered the kimchi soft tofu stew. The stew came with purple rice and banchan (kimchi, cucumber, radish, and potato). The stew had such great flavor and had so much tofu in the dish. I got the medium level of spice, but next time I'm getting it spicier! The meal was super filling and luckily I had leftovers for later that day. The banchan you can tell were made fresh. This is a great place to go if you are looking for a warm cozy meal on a snowy day, or if you get done shopping at the H-mart across the street. read more

great, authentic Korean food for a good price. everything tasted amazing and it was definitely a hole in the wall spot. be wary since the restaurant is very, very small with only around 6 tables. so large parties are probably not recommended. however, the worker are very nice and know what you will like to order. definitely try here once if youre in Aurora, but try to come more at an off time. read more

Came here with the family after a weekend in the mountains. Woo Ri is a very small restaurant, not fancy at all, but the food was very good. The menu is small but I didn't mind that at all. I had the Beef over Rice dish and it hit the spot! Well-seasoned with just a little bit of spice. I wish there was a option for a half serving since there was alot of food (too much) and the food was pretty pricey. read more

An amazing gem! If you can go there during the limited hours, you're going to love this place! You are greeted by the one staff member (I assume his wife) and then you sit down to have some of the best Korean food ever. This is one of the most "hole-in-the-wall" experiences I've ever had and I'm extremely happy this exists within such a short drive of city center. read more

Had bi bap. Very good. Great service. I would eat here regularly if I lived on this side of town. Owner was very nice. The water they have was some of the best I have had. Not sure how they filter it, but it was great. Side dishes were great as well. read more

Excellent - we'l be back. This place compares in quality and taste to the Korean food in NYC.

Stumbled upon this gem while I was in the area looking for a spot to eat with my family. It's a very small shop with a pretty small menu, which I kind of appreciated as lots of options can sometimes get overwhelming. There was only one lady working the whole space - taking orders in person and by phone, serving food, bussing tables. I was really impressed by her because she was able to do it all quickly and efficiently; I didn't feel that things ran slowly at all, and she was really nice as well. As for the food, it was so good! And reasonably priced. I got the bibimbap in the stone bowl - it was so fresh and stayed crispy hot for the whole meal. We also go the dumpling noodle soup - the broth was super rich and flavorful. read more

The food is amazing! Piping hot, well seasoned, and not to mention the portion is huge. The service is great as well, the staff is very friendly and warm. Overall the place is small but it feels very cozy, you certainly get your moneys worth. 너무 맛이다! Will be back. read more

I like this place but it has become inconvenient for me. They have limited hours and seats. Last time I was there I could not get a few dishes that I have gotten before. The place is not bigger enough for waiting or really enjoying a meal. I will some day try back. I wonder if I order to go instead. read more

Woori is small, very clean pleasant restaurant in a strip center in Aurora. I met my adult son there for lunch about 1:30. We each ordered the bibimbap. Our server, Abigail brought each of us a tray of banchan, side dishes. The bibimbap was wonderful, made spicier-savory with added gochujang chili paste. Everything was delicious and satisfying. We definitely will return to try some of their other items. read more

Our daughter is Korean and loves the food at Woo Ri! She would go everyday if she could.

Food is so delicious hear. The tofu soup is top notch, best I've ever had. Side dishes are flavorful, really liked the cucumbers. There isn't a lot of seating inside so expect to have to wait to get seated if you go around mealtimes. Plenty of parking as it's located in a strip mall. read more

This place sells yummy Korean side dishes and gimbap.... But never tried the food here until yesterday. Seems like everyone's food of choice is the stone bowl bibimbap for lunch so we did that and the beef bone soup. Both are super delicious and I love their purple rice mixed with regular rice.... (See those on Kdrama a lot). The soup comes unsalted and they give you salt to flavor it on your own which I love. They are known for side dishes so of course the kimchi was super yummy and fresh. I got some gimbap to go and side dishes but I'd highly recommend coming in to get a hot bowl of soup/rice. Support local small business. :) read more

Woo Ri Korean - Beef Bone Soup and Dolsot Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This is the first small and intimate korean restaurant i have been to in a while! this shit is legit and so yummy. Banchan means side dishes, which this place makes SO WELL. They give you some and they also sell their own. Pictured above is said banchan with purple rice and their soft tofu soup. As much as i love tofu house, this place gives you SO much more soft tofu haha. They literally only had about 6 tables and i love it. while i was there, several people came through asking for their kimbap, which they had run out of. That makes me think they're known for it and it's something i want to try now. ⁣Definitely try this place out if you're trying to eat some authentic Korean food. ⁣ read more

Woo Ri Korean - Seafood soft tofu soup - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I have been on the outlook for excellent Korean in Denver for some time. So many places serve bad bibimbap . . . that I almost gave up. Then I went to Woo Ri, very close to the H mart (catty corner) and man was I impressed. The place was packed but I got there early enough to get a table. You get some hot tea with your meal (that green tea). The place is a dive, in the best sense of the word. Cooler for to go items, korean rolls to go. . marketplace feel with seating. Food was done in enough time, and it came out sizzling hot in that clay bowl. Also got the standard sides for korean, including home made kimchi. The only downside was the egg wasn't over easy, which is how I like it. Next time I will tell them. . everything else was perfect! read more

Amazing food! I wish they have more chairs and staff.. the food was amazing it is legit like korea

This place is a little hard to find. if you have ever been to Golden Saigon Vietnamese restaurant, you are getting very warm. No need to speak Korean, other than being able to read the sign over the door. The staff was nice to us. The five tables were filled with Koreans, but one group left just as we arrived. Yes! Two of us got bibimbap bowls and I got the tofu seafood soup with medium spice. everybody enjoyed the food. It was obviously made fresh and was delicious. The tofu in the soup was melt in your mouth good. I only found one shrimp in the bowl, but there were lots of clams. read more

This place is an absolute gem. In my personal opinion, it's really hard to find good authentic Korean food in Denver. Woo Ri checks off all the right boxes. At first glance you would never know it's a restaurant cause it's tucked into a small plaza and it's definitely a "hole in the wall" type of vibe. The menu is super simple and I loved that about Woo Ri. Sometimes simplicity allows small places to truly shine. First the food. It was AMAZING. The flavor profile was 100% authentic and I could not be happier. This is Korean soul food. I had the tofu stew with beef (bulgogi soon dooboo) and it was smashing. It would be the perfect go to option for a cold winter day. The second dish I got was my absolute favorite Korean dish of all time. Dolsot bibimbap. The best way to eat this dish is to pop the over easy egg and let the dish rest for about 3-5 minutes. The stone bowl is so hot that it's still cooking the rice underneath. When you do this, you allow a nice delicious crust to form and I like to scrape the bottom toward the end. Overall, this place just screams authenticity and I will definitely recommend this spot to any visitors wanting to try some fantastic Korean food. read more

My hunt for the best Korean restaurant in Denver I think is at a close. I've tried many others, some were good, some were....well..."korean". I immediately felt I stepped into a good place when all the current customers are speaking Korean. I ordered the bibimbap with beef. Let me just say...every single bite was glorious. It was hands down the best Korean dining experience I've had to date. Everything was so authentic, from the bowls/dishes, the presentation, food, etc. I can't wait to come back again to try some other menu items, I hope there is room for me to dine in! read more

Simple menu with an authentic Korean taste. It's in a strip mall and doesn't have much seating. I was lucky to get a seat before the lunch rush came in. The workers were very friendly giving us lots of suggestions of what we should get. They gave us lots of the fresh veggie apps like kimchi and radish. We ordered the tofu soup, bibimbab, and seafood noodles. All of the food was so good and fresh and you can tell they value the quality of their ingredients. If I'm in the area I hope to visit again soon and enjoy a nice Korean meal as a warm comfort food! read more

A small family run Korean restaurant with 6 tables. The food is good and reasonably priced. I had the tofu soup with seafood which had clams and shrimp. It was full of umami. The meal also came with 4 side dishes of pickled vegetables and a bowl of rice. And, don't forget to pick up a Korean sushi roll to go. As I was eating, Korea customers kept coming in to buy the rolls so I got one to go for later. The roll was veggies and egg, it was so good, I didn't even need soy sauce. read more

Woo Ri Korean - Tofu soup with seafood, boiling hot and very delicious. - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

// Summary If you're looking for a place that reminds you of your "halmoni" (Korean grandma) and her soondubu, Woo Ri is going to hit that spot for you. // Experience I ordered one of the soondubus, and it was probably the closest thing that I've had in Denver that almost brings me back to my experiences in the Bay and LA K-Town (almost...that's kind of hard to do!). It tasted just like a homemade soondubu that you'd have at Korean friend's house. Perfect for when I was craving it on a cooler day. // Service Things came out pretty fast, given that it's only run by like 2 or 3 people (with one of those people being in the back). // Ambiance It's a really small shop, with like 5 tables in there. There's a couple of TVs, and you can buy some kimchi and other banchan you could get there. // Convenience It's in the corner of something, and there was plenty of parking. There's not much of a "waiting" area - so if you're not seated, you probably have to wait outside. There were multiple people waiting (most of them legit Koreans), so you get the picture. read more

When you try to look for a place and it does not have an English signage out front and at a pretty run down strip mall, it's a sign of authenticity. All customers were Koreans, older generation, you know you have found the right place. Cuz you know older generation does not take cushion food lightly. They want good old tradition food that they grew up eating back in the 50s. This place was it. Very authentic Korea family cuisine with very reasonable prices. It reminds of those 24-hr Korean food restaurants back in Los Angeles where cooks were Korean aunties and they tried their best to keep you full anytime of the day. Woo Ri is small with limited menu, but all good food. read more

Woori is one of those places that you want to keep hidden. The menu is limited, but each item is good, from the side dishes to the various soups. These are all authentic and taste like very much like what you would have in Korea. The ladies are super sweet and very attentive. This is very small restaurant, so dont expect anything huge. There probably are a total of 6-8 tables only, but ive never had a problem getting seated. Their kimchi is good and they do also have some side dishes you can purchase to eat at home. read more

The best Korean food I've had in Colorado by far! This place is tiny, about four tables, but very welcoming and charming. When I got the super fresh and delicious banchan, I knew it was going to be a special meal. I love Korean food and I've tried many of the places around town and this food is in another league. The seafood tofu soup was perfectly spiced and so fresh. It's really food made with love. And the quality of the seafood well exceeded my expectations for a little place like this in Aurora, CO. Highly, Highly recommend. read more
