It was flavorful and perfect for sharing. A few of the tables have partition walls, which gave us a nice sense of privacy and made the meal feel more relaxed. We arrived close to closing time, but the lady who helped us was incredibly kind and welcoming. She never made us feel rushed, and her warm hospitality made our visit even more memorable. If you're looking for authentic Korean food and friendly service, I definitely recommend this place!

Wow! I can't get over how nice everyone was in this restaurant. From the time of walking in until I…read morewas waking out of the door, everyone was so pleasant. That's what sticks out in my mind. The waiter even made suggestions and 'coached' me through how to eat my meal. And the meal was delicious. I had the ribeye and marinated pork. Very, very good. Multiple people would come by the table to make sure that the food was cooking efficiently. That was a plus. Also, most of the people there were in the private areas so there was any excess noise or lack of space out on the floor. I even watched time and time again how affectionately they would greet their guests. It was apparent that most of their patrons were regulars. Well, count me in that bunch as well. I'll be going here often. You should, too.

The pork and squid were both good as well though. Overall we had a great experience with some excellent food!

I feel like this place has changed recently. We went for lunch, and the experience was very…read moredifferent from the last time we went. The banchan was a lot more basic and less variety. I remember getting 6-8 dishes before, and this time we only got 4. The kimchi was quite good, but the rest was pretty boring. We were offered refills, so I'm not saying they're stingy. The menu seems very limited. Maybe this was a lunch thing? But I saw the same menu posted on the walls in the booths. No beef bulgogi? No fried chicken? No tteokbokki?! We both got the dol sot bibimbap, which was maybe the best iteration of that dish that we have had outside of Korea, so I think that is an improvement, but we felt like there wasn't much on the menu for us other than that dish. When we want to have that again, we will gladly come back. I just wish there was more variety. The service was extremely friendly. I have no complaints there, and I'm thankful for the welcoming atmosphere. I'd recommend you try this restaurant (maybe the new menu will resonate with you), it's just not the same as it used to be, and I would not trust old pictures of the menu.

How could I miss my chance to try Korean-style fried chicken? We dropped in to Kim Cook on a recent…read moretrip to Montgomery, and I'm so glad we did. The mountain of chicken was perfectly crispy and golden, but not greasy at all! (A personal pet peeve.) I could have gotten it tossed in one of several house-made sauces. But we opted to get them on the side, so we could try all three. My fave was a tangy and slightly spicy traditional sauce. They also had a very tasty house-made smoked honey BBQ. The chicken comes topped with a fistful of sliced green onions and a side of sweet pickled radishes that were surprisingly refreshing. There are other menu options (beef, pork or seafood bowls) as well as a refrigerated case full of cook-at-home specialties like marinated bulgogi beef and rich soups that take three days to make. Next time, we'll have to bring a cooler :)

You can order at the counter or request table service. We sat down and looked over the menu. They do a good job of accurately describing everything in there so there were few questions.

The chicken had the most uniquely delicate crust, and both of our selections were tasty and nicely presented. The interior is modern and comfortable and immaculate. Do not hesitate!

I came in with an open mind​ but left unimpressed. From the outside, SHILLA could use some work. It looks kind of old and dingy. The inside is a bit of an improvement, but it was poorly lit. There was not a very welcoming feel when we entered. Service wise, they seemed short staffed for a weekend. Everyone was cordial however the service was kind of lacking. No one checked on us after the food arrived. We wanted to order some more food and we didn't see anyone from our seats so we pushed the button which yielded no response until the 4th try. I understand there was a party in the other room, but other than that group--there was no one else in the restaurant except us... Food: Off the bat, I was disappointed because I tried to ​order sushi and was told it was not offered on the weekends--this is not stated anywhere on the menu. Here are some of the items we ordered: *Soontofu/Tofu Soup ($8.95) *Japchae ($12.95) *Haemulpajun/Seafood pancake ($12.95) *Bulgogi ($14.95) *LA Galbi ($18.95) Food-wise, the wait was super long and the food was MEH. The tofu soup didn't arrive sizzling hot like I'm used to and lacked in taste. The LA Galbi was relatively the best out of everything we ordered, although it had quite a bit of fat the first time around. So we ended up ordering two more orders of galbi. Second time around was much better (less fat and much hotter in temperature when it arrived). Overall, SHILLA is not bad if you're nearby. But for me, I'd check out what other Korean restaurants in Montgomery has to offer before coming back.
