Golae Korean Cuisine Restaurant — Restaurant in Clarksville

For me, this place offers some of the most delicious Korean food in town. I was impressed with the variety that includes thing I didn’t even know about. I am by far an expert on Korean Cuisine but I have eaten enough of it around the globe to say this place delivers. The Kimchi is in the top 3 I have ever eaten. It is addictive! Very well-balanced flavor, not too sour not too spicy. The dish that stood out the most for me was the Kimchi Pancake. This dish was cooked perfectly. It had a very pleasing and appetizing color that just called to me to eat it. The first bite was amazing. It was very well balanced in flavor and still had the sharp sour bite to it that in most pancakes that I've tried was cooked out. This had to be the best one I have ever eaten. All of the sides were fresh and tasty. There were sides that you typically don’t get in other places here. The fried dumplings were very good and the yummy pork filling was proportionate. The blend of filling was quite delicious and did not need any dipping sauce for me. They had a nice tempura style side dish that included shrimp and calamari. There was another side of sizzled steak and veggies that looked typical until I tasted it. WOW! The sauce definitely made it NOT typical. It had a light sweetness to it that went well on the dish. The steak was cooked perfectly. It was not tough or chewy as it can be sometimes. The chili paste was unlike I had ever had as well with a light smoky taste to it that set it apart for the normal. I had the Korean Sausage soup that came out hot and steamy. This also was very good. All in all, the dishes I tried were visually appealing with taste to match. The staff was exceptionally good and very friendly. The place was very clean and spacious. The K-pop videos playing on the tv was nice and the volume was not too loud. My experience here was a top-notch food experience. I highly recommend trying this place out.

I will post a full video review soon. BTW this place has new management and better than before. Give them a try again if you visited more than 3 wks ago.

This was our first visit here and we will definitely be back. We arrived around 7:50 p.m. and ordered take-out. Our wait time was only about 20 minutes.

Our meal consisted of: 🔹️ (Bulgolgi Dolsot) It was really good. Definitely mix the veggies with it and enjoy the delicious flavors. So good. 🔹️ (Chicken Ramen) If you like ramen and spice, this is your dish! It is spicy and good. For the Sushi Rolls, we had: 🔹️(Ninja Roll) 🔹️(Las Vegas Roll) 🔹️(Spider Roll) I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese in my sushi, but it worked in the rolls that had them. All three of the rolls were good. The Las Vegas Roll would be the best of the three.

Pros: ◾️Food was good. ◾️Service was good. ◾️Eatery was clean. ◾️Wait time was not long at all. ◾️Temperature of food was perfect. ◾️Handicap accessible. ◾️Good parking. ◾️Take-out packages were packed well. ◾️Quality of food was good. ◾️Very good portions.

Cons: ◾️If I had to choose, some of it was pricey, but the quality and taste kinda made it okay! ◾️The website wouldn't work so we couldn't see what all was available. (Overall, no biggie as we figured it out)

Great visit overall and I highly...

Had a very bad experience. To explain- walked in and seated at 6:35PM. Browsed the menu and enjoyed small talk for about 30 minutes before finally deciding they've forgotten us and call for a server/waitress. Waitress apologizes and explains that they're busy (the place had only filled 3 tables and 2 booths at the time including my party). We place our order and get drinks and a set of side dishes- enjoyed the side dishes but they're not exactly filling- around 7PM. Continue small talk but also note the restaurant is filling up and others that have come in are being served before us. Also, we've taken note that many served before us have actually already eaten their entrees and some have even started to leave. We wait a little longer and finally the waitress comes back to tell us that the cooks are finally getting around to our appetizers. It's 7:27PM... So, we drop $5 for the drinks and left without getting service. Really an abysmal service and honestly I don't see any...
