Korea House Restaurant — Restaurant in Symmes Township

I brought my granddaughter here for her 15th b-day 7/10/21 with her cousins and sister. They all love Korean food and loved the food the by the way. They ordered an appetizer, drinks and then their meals and dessert. After they received their meal I told them i was going to the car since I wasn't eating and that I would be right back. So I went outside to my car i was out there maybe 20 senconds had my car door open just sitting there on my phone. All of sudden I guess it was the manager that came out and waves I smile and I wave back. Then he approaches my car and ask if I have anything to smoke with I said no I don't smoke and he goes back to the restaurant door and stands there. After a couple of seconds I get out the car and went back in and he followed me. I thought about it and realized he thought I was trying to skip out on the check. Now mind you my babies were still sitting there eating. So what I was going to leave them there over a 100.00 bill please. I don't know if it's because we ARE BLACK or what. But my family loves Korean food but won't be spending our money here and anyone else I know. To the restaurant owner manager or whoever don't INSULT A PERSONS INTELLIGENCE BY ASKING A DUMB QUESTION. If you're scared someone is going to skip out on the bill have them pay first. The waitress was good and I TIPPED HER WELL. I HAVE MONEY SIR AND WOULD NEVER SKIP OUT ON A BILL. AND YES I'M...

Long time resident of Symmes Twnsp, first time to Korea House. Definitely won't be the last!!

Visited on a muggy, gloomy Thursday lunch-hour. Staff was superfriendly. Jess took my order(s) and was very knowledgeable of menu as well as soju/wine pairings. Very attentive throughout my entire visit.

I sat at the bar area, which was attended by a sushi chef. Didn't order any cocktails, but their shelves are stocked with Ketel One, Absolutely, Jameson, Fireball, Bombay, Beefeater, Jack, Crien Royak, and Meyers' spirits. Drinks menu features sake and soju. I ordered a merlot (because when you're in a Korean restaurant, order a French wine 🤪) which paired well with the deep umami flavors of my meal.

I ordered unagi and tomami sashimi, which was reasonably priced for the exquisite quality. Eel was seared and fullsome under the sweet soy glaze and tomago was delicate and fluffy. Lunch entree was served in a stone bowl that kept it hot throughout meal and added a dynamic aspect to the experience in that the rice became caramelized in sauce near the bottom. I asked for gochujiang to increase the heat level (because if you ain't sneezing, it ain't seasoned).

Excellent traditional flavors and wonderful staff. Location is quaint and cozy. Perfect for an impromptu date with staff knowledgeable on selections for diners both new and experienced in...

The food here was interesting as it is a blend of traditional korean cuisine as well as sushi bar. I thought I would try a little bit of both- ordered the yook gae jang (spicy beef soup) and assorted pieces of nigiri. Yook gae jang (extra spicy) was very good. However the price was a little bit high at $16. Knock off a few bucks and this is an anytime winner. 5 stars on this one based on tasty factor. Assorted pieces of nigiri - the pricing menu has the "full" price struck our and everything is half off. Most of the pieces were around $1.60. However, you only get one piece per order. The fish was okay, but didn't scream fresh. Seems like the discounted price is a fair assessment of the quality/quantity you get. 2.5 stars on this one. Banchan (little side dishes). The kimchee was very good, but the rest of the dishes were meh. They also have a disappointingly little amount of each, and there was no service to ask if I wanted more throughout my meal, even though I was completely done half way through. 2 stars. Purple mixed rice. Always a good thing. A bit overcooked so a tad on the mushy side. 3.5 stars.

Considering I came here specifically because I wanted yook gae jang, I will give this a 4 star overall. Most of the other patrons seemed to order the sushi rolls and not the nigiri like I did. That might be...
