Korean House Restaurant — Restaurant in Cheyenne

This is easily the best restaurant in Cheyenne. The location and decor may not meet some people's idea of 5 stars (or even 4), but we go there to eat. The food is top quality and all cooked by the owner herself, not some low wage slacker. That woman is impressive, and it shows in the food. This place is where we go to eat and feel good. If you come from, or can relate to, a culture where food is more important than presentation, you will likely have no disappointment. Update: the pricing below in the review was from 5 years ago, so it’s gone up a little. Still a good value and our favorite.

Pros: Authentic, Great quality, great flavor, healthy choices, attention to detail, cooking is done by the owner, friendly, kid choices, reasonable prices, large portions, privately owned (No corporate executives deciding how to manipulate you into paying more for less while someone else does the work).

Cons: This place is small and a bit hidden, decor and ambience is a betrayal to the food quality. Only takes cash, and due to the owner getting on in age, dine in is only available for lunch, other than the owner there is usually only one other person helping with prep and serving and may not be as meticulous as the owner (but no worse than the help that you would find in any other restaurant).

Prices: expect about $10-$12 for most dishes and most are generously sized (my wife usually has left overs and gets 2 meals from a dish). The ribs are a few dollars more but still a value imo. You can also buy a large jar (aprox. 1/2 gal) of Kim chi for only $11 (including the $1 deposit for the jar)!!

Whoever said this place was expensive was likely comparing it to McDonald's and may have been disappointed with the lack of engineered food. If you enjoy processed food over authentic, or shop mostly in the frozen food section, then there is a chance this isn't the place for you. Not everyone has the same taste. But if you are in Cheyenne and at least curious, it is worth trying.

My favorites are the ribs...

When I walked in the waitress said something which sound like wait there or something in unpleasant way but I shrugged it off. I’ve waited around the area and my toddler proceeded a little further to the tables next to the window naturally I followed her the waitress then came in and said to set here pointing at further away from us table. I found that very strange especially all tables were empty and similar in size so it wasn’t like reserved or something, still I didn’t say anything and At that point I was still standing and trying to tell my child that lets go and set there and trying to convince her. The chief then came out and said with a warm smile(in a restaurant we sit down). So I ended up saying we think we’ll leave and maybe we’ll come back late and he said (2x ok bey, thank you) it was all awkward tbh I don’t know if it’s a cultural difference or what but diff wouldn’t recommend to go there with based on this encounter especially if you have a child and there too much decor at...

We have been here, but it was a few years ago. So, we decided to go again about a week ago. A sign on the door said no dining room - takeout only. However, the owner was very gracious and said we could sit at the tables and enjoy lunch. This was nice as it was so cold outside.

We ordered several dishes including the fried mondoo (dumplings). The kimchi was crisp and just the right amount of spice along with the other pickled veggies on the plate. The bulgogi was incredible and perfectly seasoned and the fruit drinks on offer are a nice add-on. Several choices on offer of dishes, soups, and appetizers.

However, the only downside is that it is CASH ONLY. A single meal costs less than $20 with drink and a tip. Figure on about $15-20 per person eating (if an adult). Will not wait another few years to visit this location again. Friendly owners and great food.

Had to edit this to say that if you go, you have to try the egg or spring rolls. Incredible! You could make a meal out of 2-3 of...
