    So good! Hidden gem of a place. Lots of Korean food. Unlimited sides.i think I prefer bone in galbi. It wasn't spicy. All the food is good. The sushi was good. Huge portions. Good service.

    We made an online reservation for Valentine's Day after our original plans fell through. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the hostess informed us that they had turned off online reservations and were fully booked since the day before, even though we had received a confirmed reservation. We were hoping to do the BBQ grill, but she kindly offered us a regular table, which we really appreciated! Our server was incredibly sweet and attentive. Even with how busy the restaurant was, our appetizers and entrees came out surprisingly fast. The pan fried dumplings were absolutely amazing. These could have easily been the best dumplings in Indy I have tried! (11/10) My husband ordered the bulgogi dupbop, which was served hot in stone bowl and was absolutely delicious. (10/10) I ordered the beef bibim bop. I was a little disappointed because the dish was served lukewarm, but the flavor of the food was great! (8/10) The restaurant itself was clean, spacious, and had a nice atmosphere. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner and will definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

    I came here for the first time to celebrate Lunar New Year with friends! I started with the seafood pancakes! It was good! I liked the vegetables cooked into the pancakes along side the seafood! For the main course I got the rice cake soup! According to my Korean friend it's a must have New Year meal! It was delightful! The broth was light, the rice cake was chewy and delectable, and the beef was tender! I would definitely get the soup again! For dessert another friend got the cheese cake. She liked it okay. What was very good was the pot teok! The quantity seemed a bit sparse considering the price, but I was already so full that two was perfect! Service was attentive and quick. The atmosphere was modern meets cozy. Cozy with the warm wood chosen for decor. The tables set up for bbq too! Overall it was a wonderful way to spend an early Lunar New Year!

    A beautiful restaurant, equally suited for date night and group outings. Easy to make reservations, and they will have your table ready. Convenient especially when you frequent restaurants with a group in tow like I do. Service is generally friendly and efficient. Not stellar, but good. I love all the food choices. I always intend to get the BBQ at the table, but then and up with something containing sweet potato noodles. I love those things. I also tremendeously enjoy all these little side dishes that come with your meals. Yummy is all I can say. It's not a 'cheap' place, but you do get your money's worth with quality ingredients here. I have never gotten anything that was less than top quality.

    I cannot say enough good things about cafe korea! Everything is top notch. From the service, to the salad dressing to the sides. We used to frequent Bando on the east side, but due to new ownership there, things have changed. We tried cafe korea for a switch up and we will always return there now!! You don't get as many side dishes, but they're extremely flavorful and that sweet deep fried tofu is crave-worthy!! That is the only time I ever had tofu lol! But on to the meat, it is extremely tender and has so much flavor. Just great quality all around!

    I am picky about Korean cuisine- and this place is a solid 4! I think it's a good thing they opened in this area- we don't have enough Korean restaurants here. Service was friendly and quick, and I like that little button who can push for service. Reminds me of restaurants in Japan. Maybe it's a common thing in Asia. I had bulgogi and loved it. I also loved all the little dishes that came with the meals. The only star missing is pricing. Comparing three other Korean restaurants in Indy area, theirs are definitely a few dollars more per item. But there is no wow factor to add value to it tbh.... That being said, it's nice to have this option in the fishers area. I recommend it.

    My fiancé and I have heard lots a great things about Cafe Korea. We have been loving trying different Korean restaurants in the area so we were very excited. They do have kbbq available but were completely booked when we came in on a Saturday night. Would highly suggest reservations if you want kbbq. The interior is very spacious and we were seated in the regular dinner section without a wait. For appetizers, we got the ttekbokki with fish cakes. We opted for a mild version. Because we got the mild, the ttekbokki was cooked in a sweet and savory soy mirin sauce. It was such a unique dish since I usually see ttekbokki in a gochujang sauce. I loved how the rice cakes were a bit longer and the sauce was delicious. The fish cakes were also very good and had a nice sweetness to them. We weren't expecting to like this dish as much as we did and are certainly glad we ordered it. If you've tried the traditional spicy version and are looking for something different, would highly recommend trying this version. I ordered the cod stew for my entree and my fiancée got the shredded beef. Each entree can be made mild, medium, or spicy. They all come with a house salad, white rice, and 6 side dishes (banchans). The side salad was a nice starter and the dressing was very unique. It tasted like it had some mayo, soy, and sesame oil. Very nice! I was very impressed with my fish stew which had generous amounts of cod, daikon, enoki mushrooms, and zucchini. It was cooked in a clean but nicely seasoned broth. I loved the addition of all the vegetables. One notable point is that the cod had bones in it, which I don't mind and actually prefer because it gives more flavor, but I could see that being a turn off for some people. My fiancé got the shredded beef which he very much enjoyed. I tried the broth and thought it was delicious and had a nice beefy flavor. There were 6 unique banchans. My favorite was the daikon kimchi. The cucumber kimchi was also nice but a little sweet for my liking. The fried tofu was also very good! Service was also very great. It was pretty busy when we were there, but the waiter was very attentive and always asked if we wanted more refills on the banchans/if we needed anything else. At the end of our meal, we were served complimentary grapes as a little dessert! Such a small but nice way to end off a great meal. Prices were a tad more expensive than other Korean restaurants but in my opinion, the quality of the ingredients and the great service justifies higher prices. We felt extremely well taken care of during our dining experience. We left feeling full and happy! Would definitely recommend anyone looking for delicious Korean food to check out cafe Korea. We will be back to try out more of their menu and also their kbbq!

    Our tab that came way too early

    I liked the food and drinks, and was about to order another drink when the server brought us our check and complimentary desserts (grapes). As you can see in the picture, at this point we were only about halfway through our bbq and it was a little less than an hour since we were seated... I found this quite rude... did they want to kick us out...? I'm guessing not since when once we finished our meal and placed our credit cards, it still took quite some time for them to notice... Perhaps they need to educate their servers better...

    Price and meal
    Natasha N.

    Food is good. Service is sketchy. For $31.99 we we told rice, soup, salad and 6 2.5 oz of unlimited side dishes with 2 choices of meat. Server brings bill and we're charged twice for 2 entrees. Here we are at the end of the meal with two charges of $31.99. Over charged and lied about the process.

    Arrived around 6:25pm on a Thursday. Easy parking. Trendy and cute inside. Quick service. Salad and soup to start, delicious! Entree was huge and good quality. Nice meat. Good sides and sauces. Grapes for dessert. 10/10

    This was our very first time at Cafe Korea and I must say I can't wait to come back. The food was amazing. We didn't do the BBQ Grill option since we weren't extremely hungry. The food was hot and fresh. Our server was very friend and always checked up on us with refills or if we needed anything else. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. The grills are clean and have a nice touch. Great service!

    Ask the Community - Cafe Korea

    Do you guys cater?

    Unless they have changed, they have catered.

    Do they offer any all you can eat?

    Not to my knowledge and we've been going there since before they moved to the current location. They have a grill but it is not all you can eat.

    Do you serve HOT sake?

    yes

    Does any combo have free refill of meats?

    Not to my knowledge

    Do you serve Soon do bu?

    Yes, they offer Soon Dubu in mild, medium, or spicy.

    Nut allergy friendly?

    It should be relatively nut free. I don't recall any dishes that have any form of nuts, off the top of my head.

    Are there tables for two on the grill side or is it only for larger groups?

    I do not believe there are any grill tops for two there, but there are 4 tops that would work just fine for 2 people.

    Are you required to make a reservation?

    You don't need a reservation, however it does get busy during peak dinner times (even more so on the weekends).

I recommend you park in the rear of the restaurant. This restaurant was a great experience and I know we will come back again.

One of the reasons I loved it was the traditional charcoal grill, which is becoming harder and harder to find these days. Most places use gas grills, but charcoal really gives the meat that authentic Korean BBQ flavor. Because of my past visits, I came in expecting the same level of food quality and service. However, it seems the restaurant may now be under new ownership because the experience felt very different from what I remembered. Service was noticeably slower, and the food quality was not what I had come to expect from Bando. The bulgogi, galbi, chicken, and marinated pork were all brought out together on one plate. When I asked if I could order just beef, I was told that meats cannot be selected individually. Instead, I could choose three meats that would be served in half portions. We were also told that if any of the meat was not finished, there would be an additional $10 charge per person. Another surprise was that the usual Korean BBQ accompaniments were missing. Typically, all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ includes items like steamed egg and soybean soup, but neither were provided. Lettuce for wraps was also charged separately at $4. It's unfortunate because this used to be one of my go-to Korean BBQ spots. The charcoal grill is still a great feature, but overall, the experience wasn't the same as before. Free parking is available, which at least makes visiting convenient. Sadly, it may be time for me to start looking for a new Korean BBQ restaurant.
