    I visited new restaurant in Rochester downtown the first impression of getting into the restaurant is it very classy dark ambient and a very good furnished decorated place perfect for date night. Staff is respectable and very courteous. I ended up getting to go but hang out a little bit to have a beer and drink.. I am really disappointed with the food, first of all, it's very pricey menu .though it was missing flour, touch of Korean spice and the quality wasn't good. I ended up having a couple of scoops and throw the food away because it was not at all good I might have to try other food there to see if they have better options but the wild rice was bad. You're always going to have problems with the parking in the downtown Rochester parking lot available right in front of this restaurant.

    We were super happy with Bebap! We had the Jajangmyeon (black noodles) - so good! Loaded with veggies, good noodles, and the sauce was great! A little rich though, so glad we shared. Honey KFC - also delicious. I assumed it'd be spicy since it has gochujang but it really wasn't spicy at all. Neither was the kimchi though. I'm used to Korean food lighting fire to my taste buds so it seems like they tone down the spice here which I'm not too mad about. Atmosphere rocked - loved the decor and vibe in there. Some unique drink options and the cocktail we had was fantastic. Complimentary banchan was of course pleasant - my husband who doesn't normally like kimch enjoyed theirs! Service was good, everything was clean. We'll be back!

    The food here is solid. It's pretty flavorful and they actually make it spicy if you ask. The service is okay. I ordered online and showed up 15 minutes past when it was supposed to be finished. When I showed up, the entire restaurant was completely empty but they still hadn't even begun working on my order so I ended up having to wait. It is also extremely overpriced in my opinion. I paid ~$23 for the food seen in the picture. It was far too little for what I paid. I'm from Chicago and similar dishes there are less expensive. I would come back here and eat more if it was priced more reasonably. The ambiance in the restaurant is nice. It's decorated well.

    What a lovely experience for lunch in Rochester! This spot was on my radar for a new casual lunch bite while I was in town, and I'm so glad I went. AMBIANCE This place is sooo well decorated, with comfy seating and awesome murals + great vibes! SERVICE My service was stand-out exceptional. My waiter was kind, attentive, and was wonderful in accommodating my short time frame for lunch. FOOD I opted for a bite from the lunch menu - a beef bulgogi rice bowl. I loveddd that it came with kimchi and other pickled sides! My only point of feedback would be that without those pickled items, the bowl was just rice and meat. I'd have loved to have a vegetable like green beans or a bit of carrot in the bowl to add color and veg! Or even a touch of fresh herbs. Delish bite for lunch - I'm sure I'll be back next time I'm in town.

    So excited Rochester has a cool tasty Korean spot! Service was a 10/10. Very friendly and attentive! Food was fireeee. We got the seafood pancake, Spicy BBQ Pork, Kimchi fried rice, Kimchi stew, and soy glazed pork belly. All dishes were equally delicious. Would love to come back sometime to try their other dishes.

    Kimchi Jjigae

    I grew up eating at mom and pop Korean restaurants in the south and was hoping to find one here. The food here was very very bizarre. The banchan was all off--the gamja jorim (potato) was crunchy instead of soft braised, and the bean sprouts were completely unseasoned apart from some oil. I ordered kimchi jjigae and it was bland and oddly thick like a potato soup, with very minimal kimchi. I practically dumped the kimchi banchan into my soup to try to balance it. I did think the restaurant itself was really cute inside and would be good for a date or happy hour with friends. The portions were also appropriate for the price (big, but around $20 for one meal!!!). My friend ordered a fried chicken sandwich which looked good, but if you are expecting authentic Korean food you will be greatly disappointed.

    Food was delicious! Service was amazing!! Our server was very nice!! We sat outside and had such a great time. We shared everything and had leftovers! I would love to go here again and try more of the menu!

    Black Noodles

    Got there later in evening- a lovely night and ate outside. It would have been nice if the foursome behind me used their inside voice - but what are you going to do. The kimchi arinchini were good, and actually a little better the next day as leftovers. Large in size, small amount of mozzarella in them. They would have benefited from more kimchi in center. The noodles with vegetables and tofu were also better the next day. Serving size was generous. Service was good. Outdoor space was lovely except for noisy patrons.

    Bibimbap and Kalbi

    Food was plenty! Ordered Kalbi, Bibimbap and Clear soup; and oh boy, were we on a treat. The portions were generous! Written for 2 people but I'd say it's gonna feed more than 2. The clear soup was a huge portion! Service was great and the ambience was nice. Nicely located too!

    Ate here a few weeks ago and forgot to drop a review. Pricing $$. A little pricey for me, but worth it to try and see if it's for you. Food was delicious! 8/10 Service 8/10 Restaurant setting was really nice. Not many kids, and seating is pretty comfortable 9/10 Only thing is we came as a group of 6 and each table only gets 3 sides of their pickled veggies. Would have been nice to get a little more on the sides since there's more people but overall a great experience.

    Visited the newest addition to the Rochester dining scene with a friend for Saturday lunch. Upon entering, we were immediately seated and greeted with friendly service. Decor was cute and the local artists did a great job. Menu was a more focused, subset of the dinner menu so if you're expecting to try all the dishes, you may consider visiting during dinner. One thing to keep in mind that this is "Korean inspired food," so that was one thing I had to level set with my friend as he was comparing it to what you'd find in the Cities or in Korea. Obviously this is not going to matter if you never had Korean food as it is dependent on any sort of benchmark that you may have. Also, Korean food is some of the cheapest to make, but due to the global influence and cultural export, a lot of these places (outside of OG Korean grandma establishments) are able to command a premium so expect to be paying $15-30 for an individual entree / appetizer that may or may not fill you up Ordered - Japchae (3/5). Friend ordered and it was a bit sweet. There wasn't as much color in terms of veggies (maybe 2-3 strips of carrots?) and the sweet potato noodles were a bit too soggy. A pretty simple dish to make at home (YouTube has some good tutorials) so hopefully a few more iterations and this dish can be improved. - Bibimbap (3.5/5). This was directionally in the right direction in terms of taste, texture, and overall presentation. The red sauce should theoretically be put to the side in case you'd like to control the heat. I did add an extra $5 for the bulgogi (making this dish $25...). If you look at dinner menu, this same dish is $22 + $5 for bulgogi. - Banchan (?). We were confused as we saw the note on top of menu of "one complimentary banchan service per table," but never saw any that arrived. Frankly, we forgot about this aspect of Korean cuisine until we saw other tables with their side dishes... This is a given and should always be refilled at no extra cost especially if you're getting the big margins from the premium pricing - Soju. Ordered some soju. Not giving a rating since it's sourced from a B2B but always goes well with greasy, hearty eats. Overall, this may be a nice option to take your business colleagues, celebrate a milestone, or escape for a date night. Food wise - there's opportunities to elevate its flavors. Cheers.

    Great concept, beautiful restaurant, they are honest in the name of the restaurant that the Korean aspect is inspired. It's not truly authentic... Service was a little awkward/difficult. One meal came out first the other at least 15 minutes later. Flavors were good, but definitely modified for the midwest palate.

    Bo-Sam shareable meal!
    Mimi C.

    The service was amazing! Our server walked us through the menu and made suggestions!! I have a sensitive stomach and he was so kind about my selections. The food!! Flavor and flavor!!!! If I could give this a 10, I would!!

    See all

    Okay for my first time I like the kimchi appetizers. We had to ask for ice for our water so that was different.

A nice chill spot, that smelled amazing even from the front door. The server got us situated and welcomed us for our first visit. She explained the menu, and gave us a few minutes to decide. I read that they had won awards for their mocktails, so I ordered one. It was rich and creamy, the perfect balance to the dishes. The fire cracker calamari had a nice kick to it, but the sauce was the real star of the show. We found ourselves going back for more of that. The pork belly and rice was yummy too.

The whole place feels lively and thoughtfully designed and it has a great central location that makes it easy to get to. On a seasonal note, I loved that they went all out with Christmas decor. My server was super friendly and took the time to walk through some highlights on the menu, which was really helpful. You could tell they were proud of what they serve. The standout dish for me was the Pad Phrik Gang Gai. It was SO good. The spice level was bold and flavorful with the perfect kick. It might be a little too spicy for some people, but if you like heat, this dish absolutely delivers. Every bite was packed with flavor. Between the incredible atmosphere, great service, and standout food, Thai Pop is a five star experience. I will absolutely be back!

    The Soloist's Symphony: A Quiet Triumph at Wabi Sabi In the…read morelandscape of Rochester's culinary scene, where sprawling dining rooms and corporate gloss often dominate, Wabi Sabi offers a radical and refreshing contrast. This is a "quaint" location in the truest sense of the word--a small, intimate space where the distractions of the outside world fall away, leaving only the focused craft of the kitchen. Visiting during the mid-afternoon lull, I found myself the sole patron in the house, a circumstance that afforded a rare and friendly dialogue with the man behind the curtain. The owner here is a true culinary soloist, operating as chef, waiter, and proprietor all at once. It is a one-man show executed with a quiet pride that is palpable the moment you strike up a conversation. The meal began with an appetizer of calamari that can only be described as a masterclass in texture. Cooked to absolute perfection and served piping hot, it was finished with a sophisticated drizzle that provided a balanced, nuanced counterpoint to the crisp exterior. It was a promising overture to the main event: a special Poke bowl. This was a vibrant assembly of tuna, cucumber, carrots, and avocado over rice--a dish that relied on the pristine quality of its ingredients and the precision of its assembly. It was, quite simply, delicious. The seating here is limited, a physical constraint that suggests the owner values quality over sheer volume. While I can easily see the room reaching capacity during peak hours, Wabi Sabi is perfectly positioned as a premier destination for those looking to take a high-caliber lunch or dinner to go. "In the Japanese tea ceremony, 'Wabi-Sabi' is the art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature." -- Unknown The owner of this establishment should be deeply proud of the standard he has set. For the locals of Rochester who have yet to discover this gem, I offer a high recommendation. It is a reminder that some of the most profound culinary experiences aren't found in grand halls, but in small rooms where the chef is close enough to tell you his story.
