    Side dishes. These can change with the season. Delicious!! - Six small Korean side dishes (banchan) served in white oval bowls, including kimchi, cucumber, and other vegetables.

    Authentic Korean food. Hard to find truly authentic. This is it!!! Not fusion. Wonderful, fresh, flavorful family restaurant. This is run by 2 ladies. Our sever was the daughter of one of the ladies. Located in a strip mall, don't let it fool you. It's really good!!!! I had the tofu bibimbap. My husband had the kimchi and pork soup. Both were terrific. Worth the drive from wherever you are in Cincinnati. We will be back.

    This was my second time here and it was a great experience. The waitress whom I believe is the wife gave me recommendations on my meal. I started with the Mandoo which was a Korean dumpling which was very good. Then for my main course I ordered the Bulgogi Chungsik which was a beef dish that had a very good flavor and I would get it again but I would try something else on the menu. It was a small restaurant in a strip mall but I did notice they had regulars that came in and the waitress did have a conversation with them which told me their food was good. The meal did fill me up and was worth the money for a mom and pop restaurant.

    Kimchi which accompanies the bibimbap - Four small bowls of Korean side dishes, including kimchi, cucumber salad, and other pickled vegetables, on a dark table at a restaurant.

    Absolutely my favorite Korean restaurant in Cincinnati, but I may be a little biased because of how…read moreclose it is to me! Asiana is a small, family-owned restaurant that's been in the area for a while and I can't believe I've never had it up until a few years ago. Service is always great, food comes out quick, and you're also given a yogurt drink after every meal! This time, my friend and I got the Bibim Naengmyun (Cold spicy noodle) and Stir-fry seafood udon. You honestly can't go wrong with anything on their menu, and you will always go home satisfied!

    We came for dinner in a Friday night and were quickly seated. Having grown up in Dallas around…read moredelicious Korean food, this place hit the spot. The food was delicious and authentic. What we ate: Rabokki: Basically ramen + dubbokki (spicy rice cakes). Large portion, spiced just right, and everything was cooked to just the right texture. Samgyupsal: Seasoned sliced pork belly. Perfectly crispy, seasoned well, served with ssamjang and lettuce to make the perfect bite. Seafood pancake: This was a LARGE portion!! Nice amount of crispness, could have used a little more seafood, but otherwise tasty. And the was plenty of banchan, which they refilled for us. Additionally, we heard the server helping out another table with what to order. So super beginner friendly if you don't know a lot about Korean food! The only disappointment is that they no longer serve galbi, which I was craving!

So, for the hellzbellz of it, I thought I'd just put in my exact notes. Here it goes: "Max is a delight. Shrimp Shumai is wonderful. Chicken Fried Rice is done properly without being over seasoned or too salty. Spicy Tuna will run you out of town!" HA! What fun notes I left for myself. I do recall their drinks being very nice and strong. Totally worth ordering a fun adult beverage. Max was an absolute delight... just a nice human being. I remember we'd had a really rough day and Max read the vibe. Without being overwhelming, Max just made dinner a wonderful experience. Thanks, Max. You're good people. The entire food scene was great that night. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Even though this was a while back, I remember we took leftovers home (which I NEVER eat)... that night, I ate them! Price was on-point, ambiance is great... sit away from the door if you are a wuss like me and hate the cold "door blast". I remember being impressed by the amount of take-out and doordash that was lined along the counter. Kanji OTR is solid. We'll look forward to visiting again!

Kanji OTR at Findlay Markey was perfect! Knowledgeable server (she's tried everything), quiet ambience and good food added up.

    We had an excellent experience at K Town BBQ and Hotpot, and it absolutely lived up to the hype…read more We came for the hot pot lunch, and the all-you-can-eat option was outstanding. Everything tasted incredibly fresh--from the meats to the vegetables to the noodles. You could tell right away that quality matters here. The selection was generous and thoughtfully curated, with fantastic options that made it hard to stop at just one round (or two... or three). The broths were flavorful without being overpowering, and the dipping sauces let you customize every bite exactly how you want it. It was one of those meals where you keep saying, "Okay, just one more scoop." On top of the food, the atmosphere was great--clean, lively, and perfect for sitting back and enjoying the experience without feeling rushed. It felt both fun and relaxed, which isn't always easy to pull off with an all-you-can-eat setup. If you're looking for fresh ingredients, tons of variety, and a genuinely enjoyable dining experience, K Town BBQ and Hotpot is a must-try. We'll definitely be back--and probably hungry just thinking about it again.
