    I have been to Korea chef a few times since they opened. My first visit was underwhelming. I arrived expecting a large sushi menu that is posted online only to find out that they are no longer offering the speciality rolls when busy. The fried rice and bi-bim-bap were not the best and service was slow. I left not expecting to go back. After going two additional visits I would say overall Korea Chef offers a wide variety of menu items and some are quite delicious. I am a big fan of the D.F.C roll and Kalbi. One of my visits we waited about 45 minutes to place our order. Currently their team is small, I recommend going if you have plenty of time and can enjoy the experience. Plenty of parking available!

    It pains me to give this place 3/5, but the service was awful and many others complained about the same thing. There was a lady that appeared to be a server, but only sat you brought you drinks and then it was radio silent. My friends and I waited quite a while to order apps and entrees, but when we could, it was awesome. The food was delectable a special shout out to the monkey brains. I will definitely be back and hope to up my review with better service!

    Seafood pancake, fried pork, fermented side dishes included.

    We lived in Seoul for two years and didn't realize this place had opened until two months late! We visited on a Sat for lunch! It was amazing! Very happy to see actual Korean owners and Cook! Every dish was delicious and took us right back to Korea! I noticed one reviewer said something was bland... NOT TRUE! Every dish was seasoned perfectly and the appropriate sauces and sides (such as fermented foods) were provided. It was perfect and we couldn't stop eating. In particular, I loved the Spicy Soup which, until now I had not been able to find of quality in the US. This will become a regular place for us and we'll definitely take friends there too! Highest recommendation!!

    Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna "cold dish" appetizer

    First trip to Korea Chefs was a great experience all around. My friend and I were the first people there right after 4:30, we were greeted and told to sit wherever we liked. Our server was very sweet & efficient. I had initially heard that there was a happy hour but there wasn't any happy hour menu that we were given (I didn't ask though). When I first saw the menu provided by someone on FB's South Alabama Foodies group I thought "Oh wow, this is a BIG menu with both sushi & Korean food". Since then, the menu is quite a bit more edited. My friend and I opted to get two "cold dish" appetizers, the scallop carpaccio, & the crispy rice spicy tuna. Both hit the spot, I hadn't had raw scallops in quite a while and these were nice & thinly sliced with jalapeños, cilantro and a ponzu-like sauce. The Crispy rice was fried sticky rice topped with nicely seasoned (and not TOO spicy) tuna, jalapeños, eel sauce & spicy mayo or yum yum sauce. It really reminded me of the Tuna Kadomo from Jinsei sushi in Birmingham (and I love that dish). Both apps get 5 stars. For dinner, I opted for the beef bulgogi bibimbap and it was so flavorful and tender. So many nice vegetables, fresh & pickled for accompaniment. My friend got the pork bulgogi which came on a skillet with cabbage and onions underneath. It was equally as tender and flavorful as my beef bulgogi. The 6 complimentary dishes of banchan were all lovely. I definitely plan to go again & try more things on the menu. While I'm sad that the sushi offerings have shrunk, I imagine it is better for their overall functioning as a restaurant. I'm so happy to have another Asian restaurant in Daphne! I wish them nothing but success in their freshly launched business. I'll be a regular

    **5/5 Stars** Absolutely loved this spot! The food was fantastic and the service really stood out, everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Every dish we tried was a hit. The *spicy shrimp ramen* had the perfect kick with a deep, comforting broth and plenty of shrimp (tempura style and served on the side). The *beef bulgogi* was tender, flavorful, and nicely balanced with that classic savory-sweet taste (tasted just like what we had in Korea a few years ago). We also ordered *chicken nuggets and french fries* for our toddler. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfectly fried and not overly salty. The *kimchi pancake*was a standout- crispy yet soft and savory. It was served with a delicious spicy and vinegary dipping sauce. The *side dishes (banchan)* were fresh, plentiful, and delicious, which is always a big plus. The ambience is cute and clean, with a cozy interior that feels well taken care of. One small note: when we first arrived, it was very quiet- like library-level quiet. I'd love to see them eventually add some K-pop or light background music to give the space a little more energy. Overall, amazing food, great service, and a lovely space. I'll definitely be back!

    Took us a little bit to get here, but so glad we finally made it out. Korean husband and I decided to try this place for lunch today, and it was great! We ordered the seafood pancake (soooo good), jjangmyeon (pro tip- ask for the pickled radish to eat with it), kimbap, and beef yakisoba. Everything was fresh, delicious, and authentic. Can't wait to come back to try the tofu soup and bibimbap.

    Was underwhelmed, especially based on previous reviews. Wanted to call to get takeaway or Uber Eats but they have no phone and are not signed up for delivery. Spent $85 on Cucumber salad, shrimp pancake, combo beef and spicy chicken, spicy shrimp ramen, and salmon carpaccio. The carpaccio was the best part, and my bf scarfed it down bf I could get more than one bite. We will try again in-store...to-go may have been the downfall. Cucumber salad was not flavorful or mixed- DIY. Beef and chicken combo was good, shrimp pancake bland, as was the ramen. Server was super sweet as was other staff. Again, we will try again and eat in next time!!!

    The food was fantastic, the poké bowl was amazingly fresh and delicious. It takes a while to get your food, but it's worth the wait.

Check the photos - I'm not making this up. Sludge, muck, and dust were everywhere. And what I at first thought was a giant cob web was actually the home of 2x LIVING spiders. *Note = spiders only live where there's food for them to survive. In this case there were tiny flies. Wonder where else the flies are. Service: Friendly and direct. Business oriented, not customer-experience oriented. Food: I ordered the chicken hibachi. 95% of the order was rice with about 4-5 oz of chicken plus veggies. Rice = flavorless, pointless filler Carrots = unseasoned boiled carrots Cabbage + broccoli = salty, unappetizing, thoughtless, gross. Chicken = weird chewy texture like it was bad meat that had been de-thawed improperly. Flavors of only sear and teriyaki sauce. Pink sauce = weird, sour, onion-based, and gross Teriyaki sauce = pleasant at first with a horrible aftertaste. Maybe it's old? I literally took a bite of each thing to make this description then threw the entire meal away. It was that unpleasant. I will never be back. Glad I didn't waste any more money here.

Our hibachi chef was great--funny, entertaining, and he made the whole experience enjoyable. There was another birthday at our table, and they had both birthday guys get up and dance while everyone sang to them. It was cute, and they also brought out a complimentary birthday dessert. The food was very good. We had steak, chicken, fried rice and vegetables, and everyone enjoyed their meal. The portions were generous, and everything was cooked well. The only real disappointment was the drinks. Their CO was out, so there were no sodas available, which wasn't a huge deal by itself. I ordered a watermelon martini instead, and it was extremely sour--the kind of sour that makes your whole face pucker. I ended up asking for a caramel apple martini instead, hoping I'd have better luck, but unfortunately that one was extremely sour too. I definitely wouldn't order either of those again. That said, the cocktails didn't ruin our evening. The food was good, our chef was wonderful, and they made my son's birthday fun and memorable. I'd definitely return for the hibachi, I'd just choose something different to drink next time!
