🍴 A Senior’s Honest Food Guide Near OSU! 🎓✨

It’s time to share what I’ve been eating during my college years — finally organized my photos from the past year! Here’s my go-to list of off-campus favorites: 🇰🇷 Minga Korean Restaurant My favorite Korean spot since freshman year! 💖 Almost never disappoints. Probably not pre-made — the auntie who cooks is a bit slow during peak hours, but it’s worth the wait! 🍰 Wali Desserts Amazing sweets in Columbus — reasonably priced and not overly sweet! Giant egg tarts (2 for ~$6.50) Towel rolls, Basque cheesecake, snowflake cookies — all delicious! I order delivery from them often! 🍗 BBQ Chicken Korean fried chicken on High Street — so good! Love the cheese powder and spicy original flavors 🌶️. Super close to campus — super convenient! 🍜 Lanzhou Noodles My go-to freshman year spot (haven’t been in a while though 😅) They’ve added new items, but I always get the stir-fried pork with dried tofu! 🍛 Xixia Kitchen My top pick for solo dining in Columbus! Braised pork rice 🍚 Big plate chicken noodles 🐔 Rice noodles They even have spicy malatang after 9 PM for late-night cravings! 🍛 OSAKA TON KATSU A cozy little spot for Japanese curry and katsu. The curry is delicious, and the fried pork cutlet is solid! Only a few items on the menu — all around $10-15. Great value! 🥗 BIBIBOP A Korean-style rice bowl chain on High Street — can’t believe I only tried it senior year! You build your own bowl — healthy and tasty. Choose multigrain rice — perfect for those cutting carbs! 💪 🦞 Lee’s Seafood Boil Right next to Wali — a solid seafood boil place! You can’t go wrong here. We always add an extra fried fish! 🥩 Texas Roadhouse A classic — no explanation needed! ❤️ Steak for $20-30 — unbeatable value! Free fresh-baked rolls and peanuts — we always ask for more! Their fried onion blossom is a must-try too! #OSUEats #ColumbusFood #OffCampusEats #KoreanFood #DessertLovers #SeafoodBoil
