Indianapolis Food Series: Korean BBQ in Indy

Here’s a breakdown of Korean BBQ spots in Indianapolis: 1. Ma Ma’s Korean Restaurant ❌ Rating: Not recommended Visited 4-5 times over 5 years. Declining quality: Recent visit featured poorly stored frozen meat 🥩❄️. Service issues: Rude staff (e.g., impatient with non-English speakers, distracted by phone 📵). Bright spot: Sweet & sour fried chicken wings were crispy and tasty 🍗. Forced tipping: Automatic gratuity added (even with bad service). 2. BANDO Korean BBQ ✅ Rating: Pretty good! Discovered by accident – pleasant surprise! AYCE option (for 2+ people) with decent meat selection 🍖. Friendly service: Staff checks in frequently and refills side dishes promptly 🥗. Language barrier exists but doesn’t affect warmth. 3. Sisters (Greenwood) 🤨 Rating: Just okay Tried bibimbap (sesame oil-heavy) and tteokbokki (sweet-spicy) 🍚🌶️. Side dishes were mostly bland except 1-2. Service: Owner’s language barrier may come off as cold (accurate per reviews). Cozy ambiance but not memorable. 4. Cafe Korea (Fishers) ➡️ Not visited yet – will update after trying! Final Thoughts: BANDO is the best for service and consistency. Avoid Ma Ma’s due to declining quality and service. Sisters is average – only go if nearby. #Indianapolis #KoreanBBQ #IndyEats #FoodReview #BBQLovers #IndianaFoodie 🥢🔥📸
