The food comes out surprisingly quickly given how small the kitchen is, and the staff is always very friendly. It's actually the place my kids request more than anywhere else in Louisville, and they each have their own favorite dishes. The bibimbap in the stone bowl is excellent, but my personal favorite is the tofu stew, which is absolutely perfect on a cold winter night. In the summer, I tend to go for the chicken wings or the Korean pancakes. Honestly, I want to try everything on the menu eventually because everything we've had so far has been that good.

We sat at a BBQ table, (you cook!) and thankfully you don't have to cook because Gogi has an extensive chef prepared menu . Of course, the"kids" opted to cook!

The atmosphere is perfect, the lighting just right and the music was Devine because you could hear it, but you could carry on a convo too! My husband ordered the Bulgogi, so flavorful! I had the Soondubu soup, which was flavorful and just spicy enough for me. We are definitely going back, sooner rather than later!

We loved everything we tried: the Chilled Spicy Noodles had just the right kick, the Chicken Sandwich was perfectly crispy and flavorful and was huge, and the Ginger Soy Marinated King Salmon with crab fried rice was my favorite! From the Korean BBQ section, we tried the New York Strip and the Sliced Skirt Steak. Both were delicious and were accompanied by house made banchan, several saucesand other little goodies. Service was equally outstanding. Our server, Jay, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and impressively attentive, even with the restaurant buzzing and every table full. Between the delicious food, great atmosphere, and top-notch service, Nami sets the bar high. Can't wait to go back!

The results were mixed. We did the grill table and had appetizers. The apps were AMAZING! The pot stickers, the salad, the spicy edamame, all yum. The meat for the grill was basted in a wonderful marinade and you had a choice of having the kitchen grill it or doing so at your table. We chose to do it ourselves. The waitress brought us scissors with the meat...! The cuts were really too thick and/or wide and I was wondering why the kitchen would send them out so we would still have to cut raw meat with scissors at the table? Also, the only veggies that came with the meal were chunks of green peppers and a few rings of onions. We had asked about more but those were it. The dessert was shaved something in coconut milk. Not very memorable. They did hold the dairy for our lactose free person so maybe that would have made a difference? Because the apps were so good I'll go back and try their other items, but probably not the grill table.

Amazing service!! A good restaurant needs a hospitable owner, and Koreana 3 definitely has that…read more This is a restaurant you can bring your family to since there are plenty of seats and tables. The owner probably took into consideration cleanliness by putting the ventilation on the side tables. The food is worth the price especially because of the typical side dish accommodation. I would want more seafood and noodles to vegetable ratio, but, as I said the price is worth it. I do question why rice is there as a 2 dollar side dish. Either way, this is one of those establishments that have imported Korean alcohol. Make use of this restaurant as there aren't many here in Louisville as accommodating.

There was the option of Korean barbecue and while cooking at the table appeals to some I am afraid that I'll do something clumsy; hurting myself and others. I have not been to Korea. I have no idea what authentic looks like. This was what having a meal at my Korean friend's houses is like and I really enjoyed it. Most of the patrons were not white or speaking English which is always signifies to me AND as a therapist I don't want to overhear your conversations. The food arrived quickly and was exactly as described. Everyone in our group enjoyed themselves. I am looking forward to eating there again (if I see another birthday)

The hot pot makes some nice crunchy rice, and the various vegetable textures come to life with the gochujang folded in. It's hard to beat. My folks had other dishes, one I think is spicy squid and the other was a shrimp dish. There wasn't much left over! Tip: you can request seconds of the free side/starter items (kimchee, tofu trips, etc.)! The servers were great and very attentive. I had raised my hand telling a story and one waiter came to check on us, while we had a great time. The remodeled the interior maybe 10 year ago, and it's light and welcoming inside.

Even after asking for a manager to quickly resolve the situation- we were refused. Very poor customer service. We stopped here at 730 on a Thursday-we were seated within a few minutes. Place appeared clean and not overly crowded. Ordered drinks and waited 10 minutes for drinks and to begin the ordering of food. The host places a paper liner on the grill and oiled it - said we had to keep it on and she would change as needed- it started burning prior To getting food, we asked to change prior to eating and she never did. Our first set of food took 15 minutes, as other tables around got their food after being seated after us. Only 1/2 the order was received- we got shaved chicken, small shaved steak, pineapple, zucchini.- mind you we were a party of 3. Paper still burning and peeled off on food. Fried rice had a weird sweet corn flavor which did not pair well with the food. Over 20 more minutes host had yet to get another order as she helped tables all around us- we were out of drinks and missing food items. Dishes were also piled up as other tables had staff clearing theirs ours remained and space is tight as is. We had to ask for manager- some staff came out - we got some food out and then they started just bringing random food. No apologies and for the wait and issues with the grill, small fire and wait times- we will not be back. Much better hot pot places that I will spend our money.

We were greeted and seated pretty quickly so service was nice. It was our first time and I was a bit overwhelmed with trying to figure things out. He kept saying "anything else" and I'm like I didn't even get a full look at the offerings. When they started bringing the food out I got busy cooking so SORRY no pics of food. I will say the beef and chicken bulgogi were delish, wasn't a fan at all of short rib wayyyy gristle and fat to meat ratio was 90/10. But everything else tasted great. Now the sauces. They had recipes to make sauces but most of them weren't available. But overall I'd return and I do recommend!

We shared japchae, tteokkbeokki, and one of the beef soups on the menu. Plenty of food for the two of us to share! We also didn't wait too long for the food. It's run by a husband and wife team. The wife was mostly running the front of house. It didn't get too busy and she checked on us a few times. They do offer some unique items I haven't seen at other Korean places in town. It's definitely a selling point to coming here. I did feel like the food was a bit bland. But I know we love our salt in America so maybe that's how it should taste. I thought the tteokkbeokki was exceptional. It really tasted homemade. It was nice and soft! Glad I came by to visit!

We were greeted warmly by the owner. I was excited to try the Sundae Gukbap: sausage soup. I'm not aware of any other Louisville Korean place that has it on the menu. Hubby ordered the Sweet and Sour Pork. I also got the grilled rice cakes as an appetizer. Everything came out pretty quickly. The rice cake sticks are fried to crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They're so good w the sweet spicy sauce drizzled on top. My soup was a bit of a challenge to me due to the abundant mix of pork "stuff": liver, blood sausage...etc. we both liked the delicious SS Pork. But I do wish this one had more stuff in it other than battered pork strips. When I return, I will try something more vanilla than the Sundae Gukbap: but more exciting than the SS pork.
