Tried two new soups today. Both hot and savory and delicious. Always love the banchan. Sangsun jigae is the scrod soup. A few chunks of fish and 2 shell-on shrimp with some tofu. Great light meal with plenty of protein. read more

We came in for lunch on a Thursday, and only maybe 4 tables (including ours) were occupied. At first, we weren't too sure if they were open because you can't really see inside the restaurant from the (very spatious) parking lot, but we were greeted almost as soon as we walked in! Service was decently fast, and the two servers were really nice -- offering to refill our banchan several times while we were there. As for food, we got the kalbee gui lunch special and sundubu to share between two people. Although the flavor of the kalbee was great, I thought the portion was a little small for $15.99 and didn't feel too full afterwards. The sundubu was cheaper ($12.99) and had a good amount of seafood and tofu in it, but tasted a little watered down. It wasn't too spicy either!Regardless, both dishes satisfied our craving for Korean food though! Overall, I think I'd come back, but would probably try other things on their menu! read more

I ordered take out so I do think it would have been better if we sat down and ate there so the food came on the proper dishes. It was quiet there for dinner time but I did go at 4:00 PM. The hostess did help me right away. Overall the food was good and it was nice they gave us the normal sides I feel they usually do if you sit down. The food was still warm by the time I got home. Only reason I am giving it a four star is we asked for the bulgogi to be spicy and it was not. If you want chopsticks, make sure to ask as they only provided forks read more

Korea House has been my favorite spot for Korean food for the last 20 years. The food is always great, and the service is friendly and quick. I've never had anything that didn't meet my expectations. Tonight was no different. We started with Haemul Pajun, which was delicious and crispy. The Dwenjan Jigae soup was delicious and peppery, perfect for a cool fall day. Dakqui was good, but a bit dry, but it tasted fine. Ssam Bab was so flavorful that your taste buds will thank you. Bulgogi is always good and always a favorite. read more

I visited for dinner in late October 2024 with fellow Yelper, Christina P. We were both starving because we had just come from a private group salsa dance class at Viva Dance Studio across the street. Suffice it to say, I was ready to eat. While I've traveled to China before but not South Korea, I generally love Asian food including Korean food. FOOD -- Lots to choose from on their menu. I ordered the number 37 on the menu which is the Dolsot Bibim Bab ($14.99) -- hot pot of rice topped with assorted vegetables, chopped beef, and fried egg (egg cooks in hot pot when you mix it in) plus served with red chili paste sauce. YES, YES, YES. Gimme, gimme, gimme more. The Doltsot Bibim Bab (no. 37 on the menu) was absolutely delicious and served HOT. The addition of the red chili paste, once mixed in, really brings out the flavour of the whole dish. If you like rice and meat then order the Doltsot Bibim Bab. I recommend this restaurant and I'll definitely be back. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 125/150 total reviews in 2024 - 774 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 8 December 2024 read more

Just make sure you know that they don't serve any chicken any longer. I considered coming in since I worked close to the restaurant and I saw that they serve Korean fried chicken. So it was a disappointment that they do not have it on the menu any longer. Then I wanted to go for the crispy pancake that they serve with seafood and asked if they can do them without seafood. They cannot since the mix is already done - so not fresh made. So I ended up with two appetizers since I was hungry. 4 potstickers and a mung bean pancake with vegetables. Service was at least fast (ok I was the only guest) and friendly. I missed lunchtime (massively by two hours so not expected that I still got those deals!) but on the lunchtime menu there was a chicken dish and after I talked and asked about anything chicken the server said we don't have any chicken. Well I would have paid more of course if I would have gotten the offer to get the lunchtime chicken dish. Anyway the two appetizer have been very tasty and even for them I would come back. I still have to take away one star for all the circumstances. read more

Wholesome little restaurant with homey vibes and an extremely friendly staff. Ample parking outside in the lot. The food here was very comforting and tasty with lots of flavor. Army stew was so good on a cold snowy day. The broth was the perfect spicy level. Lots of toppings and meat to be shared between two. Loved the sundae so much, it was my first time having it and it's amazing when paired with the army stew or sauce from the Tteokboki!! Everything was so simple yet so good. Will definitely come again if I crave Korean comfort food. read more

I flew into CLE at around 9 pm so most dinner options were closed, but I managed to order Korea House to my hotel right before they stopped accepting orders. I was craving a warm soup because it was so snowy, so I ordered the sundubu. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. No issues with delivery, arrived promptly with no problems. The soup, however, was one of the most bland/underseasoned sundubus I've ever had. Usually, the soup is red in color, but my broth was mainly clear with a slight rim of red oil on top. For the most part, this felt like a tofu and onion soup, with a dash of seafood. I've never seen a sundubu with so many onions? But I felt like they made up the majority of my bowl. This sundubu left much to be desired. Came with a container of white rice, no notes. read more

Adding this place to one of my Korean food go to spot! This place gets busy during peak hours so make sure you go early or make a reservation. It looks like only a duo running the restaurant. Food was served relatively quickly and tasted delicious! They also offer KBBQ and I look forward in coming back to try that next. read more

Honestly, one of the best spots for Korean food that I've had in Cleveland! The servers were so nice and so attentive, and I just really like the vibe inside of the restaurant. The sides were so good! My personal favorite was the cucumbers. Even though I know they're all pickled, everything just tasted so fresh. We also got the ggang dwenjang and the sundubu which both came out hot and steaming with a bowl of rice. The ggang dwenjang really hit the spot, and it was salty in all the best ways. The sundubu was pretty good too. They didn't skimp on the seafood at all, but I do wish it came with an egg. I'd love to go back and try some appetizers and kbbq! read more

I was craving Korean food so we decided to dine in here. For appetizers, my boyfriend and I shared Korean fried potstickers. For entrees, we ordered japchae, Korean chicken dakqui and beef short rib soup. The potstickers were good. Wish there were a little bit more meat fillings. Japchae was bit salty for my taste. The dakqui was surprisedly good. It had a nice char and marinated well. I loved their beef short rib soup because it was so homey and delicious. The broth was clear and umami. Of course, they gave us some side dishes. The kimchi tasted a bit funky for me. Maybe they had different style fermenting it. My favorite side dishes were the sweet potatoes and broccoli. They were pretty refreshing. Overall, we were happy to find a Korean place we like here. Will definitely come back. read more

Yum! We stumbled upon this place after stopping by Kim's convenience next door. Dinner here was great! Prices were not bad for the insanely large amount of food that you get. The food was super filling and tasty. We ordered lumbar, steamed eggs, tteokboki, ramen soup with spam and hotdogs (#5), and another noodle and soup dish. Staff was attentive. Music was on point! Everything that played is what's on my work playlist. Had an amazing experience and will be coming back. Can't wait to try their other options. So many options too! read more

As a Korean American, I will say I'm incredibly disappointed with the food that was offered. I have a food vlog and I'd normally post my positive thoughts, but I have to rate this a 2. The banchan wasn't a huge selection, and I was disappointed it was simplistic side dishes. The Korean Fried Pork Dumplings was the reason why we rated it a 2 star, cause it had a good start. I ordered the Kalbi & Soondubu Jigae - my two ultimate favorites normally. Today, the soup had no egg, no veggies, and was so powerful in seafood flavoring, that it really took away the idea of tofu soup. The Kalbi was over cooked, rubbery, and they gave us a knife to cut the meat. I asked for scissors to cut the Kalbi and the server said they didn't have any. With a blank face, I was so confused but I said okay. But then moments later, he returned with tongs & scissors. My partner ordered the fried chicken with sweet & sour sauce. I had the expectation that it was my aunt would make: fried chicken drenched in thick sweet bbq sauce. It was not that. We were offered Chinese style chicken with sweet & sour sauce. Like how you eat Hong Kong noodles. After reading a handful of reviews, I will say by being bias, the midwesterns are missing out on authentic Korean food. I say this from being from the west coast and growing up in the Silicon Valley as well. Sorry, but this is not my top recommendation for my friends who need Korean food. read more

Great Korean restaurant around Cleveland area. Great atmosphere and service. We ordered their lunch special got a Kalbi and bulgogi. Also got to try their Korean pancakes. Foods were delicious and came out pretty quick. read more

Korea house really does an excellent job of giving that home style cooking feel to Korean food. I would recommend trying to call to make a reservation if you can, as they definitely get very busy on both weekends and weekdays. The space is not the largest, so they fill up quickly. I shared a dinner for two persons, jajangmyeon, and doenjang jjigae with four people, which was the perfect amount of food. The bulgogi and ssam were both so delicious and tender, and very well seasoned. The jajangmyeon was also excellent: there was enough sauce to properly, cook the noodles, which were an excellent texture. The flavoring is a little bit on the sweeter side, but overall very true to form. The doenjang jjigae has a more mild flavor if that's what you prefer, and was a great accompaniment to the heavier meets that we had. It was also wonderful as it was quite cold outside! I was highly impressed with how quickly the food came out once we ordered! It's definitely harder to get the attention of the staff when they're really busy, and I have the impression that this place is run by a family, but they still do a great job! read more

One of my favorite Korean BBQ The food is excellent we have only had the BBQ and the Heamul Pajun "flour pancake" and I am sure the other menu items are just as delicious. The service is excellent, the staff does not socialize with the guests at least in my experience but that says to me they are taking care of the customers. The location is a small shopping center next to a Korean grocery the restaurant is clean with Korean decor and Korean music in the background. One of favorite meals. read more

I could not believe what I saw and tasted after not eating here for a year or so. They've changed owners, not one Korean person working there, they took away the sushi and the hometown Korea atmosphere. I took my 87 year old Korean mom for her 87th birthday and she was very shocked and disappointed with the menu, the food and service. This used to be a regular place to go for great Korean food but we'll never go there again. It was so disappointing. read more

Came with a group of 4 friends, which was perfect for the dinner for 4 combo. It was so good and came with a lot of food!! The meat was perfectly marinated and cooked. The japchae was delicious and came with a large portion. We had a great time. One hiccup was that we were given a kimchi pancake, which we assumed was part of the combo, so we ate it. We later realized the pancake was NOT included and we were charged for it even though we didn't order it. The workers were super apologetic and understanding and took the pancake off our bill. Good service! Would highly recommend if you're craving Korean- definitely legit (my Korean friend approved) and the best Korean food I've had in Cleveland! read more

It was my first time trying Korean food and I absolutely loved! Service was quick and the menu had so much to choose from.

Authentic Korean BBQ. We loved the pork belly and the short ribs and kept ordering more. All the side dishes and the steamed egg were delicious too. The kids ate so much and enjoyed grilling at the table. The owners were super friendly. ...and I could practice speaking some Korean. Will definitely go back next time we're visiting Cleveland. read more

Brought my mom up to the Cleveland Clinic for an appointment. Thankfully, found this gem while searching Yelp for what to eat. OMG! I'm in love. Korean Food is one of my favorite types of cuisine. We do t have that many good Korean Choices in Pittsburgh. I was so happy to find Korea House. It did not disappoint. My mom and I both had the bulgogi lunch and it was phenomenal. So tender and juicy! The beef almost had a sweet flavor to It. It came with fried rice and a dumpling. The rice was cooked perfectly and had peppers and carrots in it along with onions and scallions. The dumpling was so crispy and delicious. You also got Korean Sides that my mom loved. We saw a group cooking their meat at the table. I want to come back with my husband so we can do it. It looked and smelled delicious. You must come here and try this. So authentic and deli table! I'll be dreaming of it for a while and will be back the next time we come to the clinic. read more

Not the best area. Not the most romantic of restaurants. But the food is great. Focus on the food and you will love this place.

Every once in a while I get a huge craving for Korean food, and when that happens I order from Korea House. I primarily like to carry-out or get delivery from here, but when my most recent craving hit I was able to convince two friends to go in with me for an early dinner, and was pleasantly surprised to find out that you get a free steamed egg when you dine in! We ordered quite a few dishes to share. My personal favorites are the kimbap and kimchi tofu, but I also like their japchae (which is surprising since it's a dish I normally don't love). Some of their items (like the tteokbokki and mandu) aren't my favorite, but if you are going with a group, they are certainly crowd pleasers and good options to share. I personally think it's a bit pricier than what I would expect, but I suppose this is to be expected since most items we ordered had beef in it. I thought overall the service was good - when we went, they forgot to bring our side dishes with our bulgogi and were very apologetic about it even though it wasn't a big deal at all. I can't speak to the authenticity of the food but this is definitely a place I'll continue to order from and bring friends to, even though I find it to be a bit pricey. read more

Yum, yum, yum! Knowing that a friend of mine loves Korean food, after a Yelp search, I decided to invite her here. The restaurant has a big parking lot, which is appreciated and is located in Asia town, just east of downtown Cleveland. The restaurant is clean and inviting and has a beautiful mountain mural on the wall. We ate here for lunch on a Weekday and were one of four tables eating at the time. The service was very friendly and prompt. We both ended up ordering the hot bowl bibimbap and were very, very happy with our choice. The food was extremely flavorful and it's just such a delight to eat this dish as the rice gets crispy and you can add in extra pickled veggies and such. I want to come back soon for Korean bbq. I highly recommend checking this spot out for Lunch or dinner! read more

The service was terrible, the hostess or waitress or whatever that person was, was forcing me to pay a CERTAIN amount of a tip and kept saying it was mandatory but it wasn't written on the receipt to be mandatory to pay that certain amount so how would that be when it was just 2 people. The food wasn't authentic and it was bland. I felt sick after eating it. This place is a disappointment. read more

This is the best Korean restaurant in Cleveland you will not regret trying it. The space is on the smaller side but there are always people enjoying the food so you know it's worth it. Food: Everything I've tried has been fantastic. Whether you're in the mood for Korean BBQ or eating off the dinner menu, you will not be dissapointed. Recommendations: 1. You have to try the BBQ at least once. I prefer the pork belly and the bonchon provided gives you plenty of options to make your own lettuce wraps. 2. If you're in the mood for rice, try the dolsot bi bim bop. It's rice with vegetables and in an earthenware pot. It creates an amazing crunchy bottom of the rice that's a great way to finish the meal. 3. Noodle anyone? Jajangmyeon is the only answer. Noodles with black bean sauce and little bits of meat, veg, and a perfect savory/sweet sauce. The chunks of potato in it is 100% my favorite part. 4. Soup? The budae jjigae (aka: Army Base Stew) is a mix of luncheon meat, hot dogs, ramen, cheese, rice cakes, and meat. In a super spicy sauce it's the perfect accompaniment to a steaming hot bowl of white rice. Everybody who works at Korea House is super friendly and always answer any questions you may have about the food. If you've never tried Korean food, this is the place to do it. read more

Well it's interesting to have a Korean restaurant in Cleveland Ohio. I am glad Cleveland is diverse in ethnic cuisine. Anyways this was a great traditional Korean restaurant here in Cleveland compared to Chicago. Food was genuine and the staff was attentive, fast and friendly.

So far Cleveland has been pretty impressive in regards to diversity of ethnicity for restaurants despite people saying it's such a rust belt City that will never be diverse.
