Cincinnati｜Korean Food Review: Not Recommended 🚫

Restaurant: Korealistic Price: Around $50 per person (honestly, every dish felt overpriced 😤) But worse than the price—the food was just not good. Extremely salty and not authentic at all. In all my years in the U.S., this might be the most disappointing Korean meal I’ve had. 🥲 Definitely not worth the money or the calories. I ordered a few classic dishes: Bibimbap 🥢: The rice was mushy, the veggies tasted bland yet the gochujang was oddly overpowering, and there was barely any egg or meat. Kimchi Stew 🍲: Way too salty—I couldn’t taste any of the fermented depth kimchi should bring. Galbi 🥩: Chewy and drenched in a one-dimensional soy sauce glaze. No char, no sweetness, no complexity. The atmosphere was okay, but that doesn’t make up for the food. Service was slow even though the restaurant wasn’t full. I left wondering… Cincinnati, do you really not have good Korean food? 😭 I’m having serious food PTSD now. If you’re craving real Korean flavors, maybe try somewhere else—this place isn’t it. #CincinnatiEats #CincinnatiFood #KoreanFoodFail #FoodReview #OverpricedEats #NotRecommended #OhioEats #SkipThisPlace
