    Whole in the wall Korean restaurant. But is soooo GOOD!!! The lady is always very friendly and prompt on the food too. They only have a few tables but is very clean. I usually order the Beef bulgogi lunch and my wife will order the seafood soup. It comes with small side dish of kimchi. Is so good with mix with rice. Will definitely be back!!!!

    Tasty, well prepared kimbap and bibimbap. Prompt, friendly and inviting service. Small hole in the wall in the best way. Like stepping in to a favorite relative's home. I will look forward to trying the entire menu.

    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.

    Authentic and delicious! The bibimbap and beef tofu soup hit the spot. Super friendly workers! It's a small space, but the food makes up for it -- feels like a hidden gem. Will be back for sure!

    Kimchi  soft tofu soup

    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.

    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.

    Beef over rice

    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.

    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.

    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.

That's a pretty strong endorsement. Also the interior of the restaurant was fairly modern and clean. For anyone unfamiliar with it, soondae (순대) is a traditional Korean blood sausage made by stuffing pork or beef intestines with a mixture of blood, glass noodles, rice or starch, and seasonings. It's one of Korea's most popular street foods and is typically enjoyed with salt or a dipping sauce. One thing to know before you go: this restaurant specializes in soup-based dishes. Every entrée revolves around soup, including the bulgogi. I had never seen bulgogi served in a broth before, so it was a pleasant surprise for both my boyfriend and me. Most of the soups also included clear glass noodles and came in a wide variety of combinations, so there were plenty of options to choose from. One detail I really appreciated was their takeout packaging. If you have leftovers, they use a professional heat-sealing machine that applies a thin plastic seal over the container before the lid goes on. It's a thoughtful touch that keeps the soup leak-proof and makes transporting leftovers much easier. If you're craving authentic Korean comfort food--especially soondae soup--this place is definitely worth a visit.

    Leaving a review after 2nd visits during lunch time. I personally think this Korean restaurant…read moreshows "sincerity" into their food. At least for lunch combo, the thoughtful assortment of main dish and side dishes as well as soup of the day are very satisfactory. Their food is little bit more on a savory side compared to other Korean restaurants who use too many spices. Before I met Baekga, i was pretty disappointed in local franchises of Korean eateries in Colorado, but Baekga not only they have very calm and toned down atmosphere for pleasant meals, it is the venue I would actually bring my visitors to. The location is little far for me to explore their dinner menus but I would love to when I am nearby next time. Champagne kimchi was inspiring. I never had any kind of Kimchi taste like this. I really praise for the creativity. It would be a good pair with a variety of food such as charcuterie board, katsu, sausage dish, barbecue, and simple with wine! I personally liked Dakgangjeong, Beef radish soup (soup of the day), and champagne kimchi from my visit. Frankly, this venue maybe a polarizing Korean restaurant especially for Korean natives, but I personally think this venue deserves more recognition compared to other local Korean franchise in Denver/Aurora who just serve the food items but not the sincerity and/or creativity.

I'm glad we came and discovered another restaurant we can add to our list. It's def a more modern Korean restaurant from the interior alone. But food was delicious. I was interested in a lot of items on the menu u so it was hard to choose from. The dakgalbi lunch special was an actual full on lunch with sides and soup. The galbi tang was pretty good. The meat is some of the best I've had in CO. It was very tender and fell off the bone very easily. The La galbi was so good and flavorful. When it's mixed with the onions and veggies and rice, everything tastes really good combined. I would skip on the pancakes because they were a little burnt. We saw a different one come out and it was also burnt. Otherwise, eat around because it's quite flavorful.

However, I was very pleasantly surprised at the ambiance, the food, the drinks, and the warmth of the owner! We walked in Thursday night at 11pm. It was one of the only Asian restaurants in the area still open after our flight landed. As expected, the customers were sparse save for 2-3 tables of diners. The interior was immediately green flags - l loved the decor and wood tones. It felt like I was in Korea! The menu is your typical pocha fare - soups, Korean pancakes, army stew, KBBQ meats. We ordered the jalapeño soy chicken wings, volcano pork, and the kimchi fried rice. My favorite was the chicken wings, really crunchy with good flavor and the wings were decently sized. The volcano pork came over a fire burner and cooked at our table. It was definitely pretty spicy but paired really well with the kimchi fried rice, which I thought could be spicier. The pork quality was ok but I really liked the flavors and the bean sprouts in the pot. I particularly love that K Pocha has zero sugar soju on the menu no sugar = no hangovers!) I always drink the brand with the fox on it and squeeze a bit of lemon into the shot. We were served by the owner and the service was efficient. He didn't seem to speak the best English so we had to have one of our friends translate when we asked questions, but he was really nice and welcoming. K Pocha seems to be pretty new, so I will hopefully be back soon to support his business! I definitely want to try the army stew and the tofu soups.

Gotta love the starch!! Friends ordered grilled meats and I snuck a tiny bit to taste (since I can't handle their level of spiciness! ) they were delicious.
