Korean Table — Restaurant in Dublin

My experience here was the best possible, so I will dedicate a fair amount of detail to this report. I visited the restaurant with my family, and right at the entrance we were greeted by Vivian, the owner of the place. There were six of us and we needed a table, but there weren't any, so she asked us to wait on the bench at the entrance. I was surprised by how willing and quick she was to accommodate us. With a smile on her face, she patiently explained the menu options to us, including vegan options for my sister-in-law and her husband, without ever showing any kind of annoyance or rush. While we waited for the food, we felt very comfortable in the cozy and familiar environment, very well decorated, to be fair. Before the food, Vivian gave us a delicious starter with cucumber, bean sprouts, and something that I assume was seaweed in three small bowls. Everything was well seasoned and tasty. For the main course, I ordered the crispy chicken with sweet and sour sauce and my wife ordered one of the soups with beef. The crispy chicken breast was insanely good, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside, plus the sweet and sour and spicy flavors brought a balanced mix of seasonings to the flavor that really surprised me. I was so surprised by the quality of the food I ordered that I decided to try a little bit of each thing we had ordered just to make sure the standard was the same. Imagine my surprise when I realized that everything was incredibly delicious. The sauces, the dumplings, the meats, the eggs, everything was prepared in a meticulous and exquisite way. I have eaten in many restaurants in my life, but few foods have been so well prepared and so tasty. This restaurant is in my top 5. What a pleasant surprise I had. Lastly, I would like to point out that the service provided by Kate, the waitress, is also five stars, always with a smile on her face, very polite and welcoming. Paraphrasing Anton Ego, I will certainly be back and very hungry. Thank you very...

Update - I went to visit again, this time booking a table in advance. However, the way it was organized was that 3 groups of 2 people share 1 table. This makes for very awkward spacing, and you're crammed together with people overhearing their conversation and having very limited space to eat. If you book a table, you should get your own table, and not one-third of a group-share table with 2 other, separate bookings. I was stuck in the middle and I just didn't enjoy it. I heard similar grumblings from the other two bookings, who were similarly unimpressed. You cannot have a romantic meal whilst joined at the hip to other bookings at the same table. That said, the food was great as usual, but I was very disappointed to be crammed together with 2 other random bookings on the same table. Please sort this out.

What a fantastic new addition to the area!

What's great is how different Korean Table are. It's not the same old Korean restaurant-style experience. It's better, and tastier!

We went and, for sure, they seem to be starting off. No professional menus, and no website to speak of. That said, we learned we went only 2 weeks after they started. But despite this infancy, we were glad we tried their food.

The food is quite simply delicious. We tried a diverse range of the menu, and I have no complaints. The portion sizes are great! The chicken was absolutely fabulous; so unique and so tasty. The sides are amazing; a wonderful addition and very welcome.

Service was great throughout, though sometimes I wondered whether they could do with an additional waiter to help things along.

All in all, a must-visit place if you're in the area. Looking forward to coming back to try more...

We ate here this evening. The food was absolutely amazing, genuine, top quality “Korean Table” …. As the name suggests. Our host and owner Vivian Cho delivered on every level. I will definitely be back with any of my friends I can get my hands on. Best of luck in this venture Viv, and I hope more and more people get to experience what we did her this evening 👍👏👏👏

We were here again yesterday evening (May 9th, 2025) and - if possible - things have only got better here. We came for a quiet celebration of my Son’s birthday - just him, his girlfriend and me

Like last time the food was absolutely delicious - virtually delicious taste explosions all around! What I particularly liked were the little photo album type menus with each dish described beside a photo of same, and the actual dish, when it appeared was exactly as pictured

There was one young waiter taking care of the entire restaurant, which was full - except for 4 places. He was efficient, calm, friendly and attentive to every customer there - well done young man!

The portions were extraordinarily generous - there being enough for our dinners today too!

My sons girlfriend has 2 glasses of the red house wine which she declared “lovely”

Well done Viv, may you continue to enjoy your success, you absolutely...
