Ms. Kimi and Ms. Carol were great hostesses. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and the beef bulgogi. Everything came out in a timely manner and tasted great. I will definitely come back. read more

This was an excellent Korean restaurant. Very authentic and there were only Koreans for dinner the night I went, except for my son who is half Korean. The inside looks like the type of traditional Korean restaurants I used to eat at in NJ in the 1990's. I saw sullontang on the menu and had to have it after watching Nation of Broth on Netflix. It was good but I do think the gochujang helped. The owner told me the milky broth takes 3 days to make. She also recommended tendon stew so I will have to try that if I ever get a chance to go back.( I don't live in PA.) Since I also watched Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix, I ordered the kim bap. It was very good, as far as kim bap goes. It's not sophisticated food. My mother used to make this all the time and it reminded me of my childhood. My son had the kimchi jigae and he said it was very good. It's quite a lot of food when you add the rice but he ate it all. The banchan, side dishes, were a bit limited compared to other restaurants and most were too spicy for me, but they were tasty. The complimentary pineapple for dessert was a nice finish to the meal. I highly recommend this place if you want authentic Korean food. read more

Delicious and encompasses the word umami as accurately and enjoyably as possible.

I've been eating this restaurant at least 8 times now and the service is excellent. Like others said, Kimey , the owner and cook, is very friendly; always greets us and give extra side dishes for us when she's around. Food selection is awesome and BBQ amazing like others here have experienced. Currently, the exterior is under renovation so don't let outside image take away from food and service. Give it a try, again food and service is excellent. read more

KORI is ABSOLUTELY delicious! I have officially gotten food from here on 2 occasions and have been blown away each time. The first was surprisingly for some of the BEST breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. I ordered a sausage, bacon egg and cheese on a Kaiser bun and was blown away. We ordered the food to go due to COVID and it was still very fresh when we got home. The second visit was for dinner and may I say that the beef bibimbap was AMAZING! My boyfriend ordered the LA Short Rib bento box and I couldn't stop taking bites. Other notable dishes were the miso soup, and sides! Everyone loved their choices. Kori is worth the visit, and is a permanent member of my rotation. read more

I had my hesitations about this place, the outside looks unassuming, but that's what I get for judging by appearance of the place. The food was some of the most authentic Korean food I've tasted in the area. The portions are very generous and the service was good. Would certainly recommend for those in the area hankering for some good Korean food or just food in general. read more

Friendly family owned restaurant for Korean food. Very fresh ingredients. Only the second time visiting since I moved to the area, but will definitely return many more times. read more

Best Korean food in the area. Everything made on premises and authentic. They brought us free hot tea and water immediately. We ordered the crunchy chicken appetizer, and it was huge! The meat was all white meat, and the honey, soy sauce with sesame was so delicious. We ordered for our entrées, kimchi soup came with side of rice, beef bulgoli bento box, and a hot beef bibimbab bowl. The bento and bowl both came with miso soup, and all of us got Bonchon/sides and japhche. The service and staff was excellent! And the owner Kim came to our table several times. She offered us more sides as well as gave us ice cream for dessert, She was so friendly, and even took the time to ask all of our names and had a nice conversation before we left. If you'd love, authentic Korean food, I highly recommend! You will not regret it. read more

My 81-year-old Korean mom is visiting me from California for 3rd time. She has visited my brother in Hawaii many times and had Korean food from many restaurants. Yesterday was first time she enjoyed the food. She was amazed at how her soup was "authentic":) The owners, the staff was so friendly, and helpful! My mom has difficult time chewing at times, and they made her food extra soft just for her!! Not only food was delicious, but restaurant was so clean!! I would definitely go back, and I recommend everyone to try this restaurant. My mom even took a business card to share with her friends in California to tell them to come to this restaurant if they are visiting PA. :) read more

This restaurant is amazing the staff is the sweetest and the most accommodating group of people. I've been here multiple times now and food still blows me away every time. If you have any questions about the food the chef / owner is very helpful and she is by far the sweetest person i've ever met. read more

We found Kori in Lansdale today for a late lunch/ early dinner and are so happy with this family owned Korean restaurant. The food and service was out standing. Reminded me the many home cooked meals my friends family had shared with me. Reasonable prices and excellent quality. Our server Michele was a delight. Enjoyed everything from the hot tea and special kimchi, pickled daikon, seaweed salad, cellophane noodle other pickled vegetables and fruits. We ordered the dumplings and the fried chicken with a a sweet and spicy sauce. We also ordered the Spicy Beef Soup and the Cod stew which were served with optional rice. Michelle also brought us a ginger rice slushy drink at the end as an added sweet end to an excellent meal. So delicious, we will return soon to support this locally owned family business. We will spread the word on this gem. read more

This was my first taste of Korean BBQ & it was incredible. Kimey (she makes the kimchi!) & the entire Kori staff was incredibly inviting & accommodating. The food was delicious & perfectly cooked. We started with the the shrimp tempura roll which was worlds better than other sushi places in the Lansdale area (we'll be back for more sushi for sure). We also had what I believe was the "Fried Mandu (dumplings)" which were delicious (who doesn't like dumplings!?). They patiently waited for us to finish our "appetizers" before bringing out the BBQ on sizzling pans. I can't sing the praises of this place enough but I insist you try on your own. We'll certainly be back! read more

The food is PHENOMENAL. The Chef is experienced and is show casing her family recipes. Capital "D" for DELICIOUS in my book. Can't wait to go to "KORI" again read more

The food here is excellent! My boyfriend goes here for breakfast at least 3 days a week and always raves about it. He and his colleagues say it's the best breakfast in town! We decided to try it out for dinner and we were not disappointed! The food is so authentic and full of flavor! My daughter has to be one of the pickiest children on earth. She complained the whole way there saying she wasn't hungry. We get there and she ordered the teriyaki chicken. There wasn't a single piece of chicken left on her plate when she was done! The beef short ribs and spicy beef soup were also excellent. We asked what they recommended and they even explained how to eat it the traditional way. The family who owns Kori are incredibly friendly and seem like wonderful people. We will definitely be going back for dinner and breakfast! read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place! Authentic Korean food, family owned with great customer service. We were greeted, then called by name by each person who served us. The owner, Kimy, even came by our table to chat and make sure everything was okay. Great food, great experience! read more

This intersection is home to a hidden gem. Price, food portions and taste were phenomenal! Dumplings all homemade in house. Also, for then spice lovers they have strong Kim chi and chili sauce. The owners are also WONDERFUL. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Went there for a nice evening out and we wanted to try somewhere new to us. Everything from the service to the food was spectacular. Each and every worker we interacted with was delightful and helpful. The food came, and we were blown away by it's authenticity and deliciousness. Believe me when I say, you could travel halfway across the world to Seoul and the food from Kori would still hold its own (I speak from experience). Fair prices, delicious, filling meals, and a charming staff. PLEASE go eat here, you will not regret it! read more

We love Korean food and Kori is our favorite!! The owners are so nice and the food is fantastic! The prices are reasonable and all of that keeps us coming back! The salmon teriyaki, shrimp fried rice and black bean noodles are some of our favorites! You can't go wrong with anything you order at Kori because it is all so delicious...and the kimchi and other side dishes are amazing too! Give it a try and I bet it will be your favorite as well! read more

I passed Kori today, and thought I'd head in and check it out. My buddy and I started out with the fried dumpling appetizer, and it was really good. Then we both got bibimbap bowls, one chicken and one beef. The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and the portions were generous. The restaurant was clean, and the service was great. I also got to meet the owners, and they were very nice people. I would not hesitate to visit Kori again :) read more

great food run by great people! awesome portions and authentic Korean food at very reasonable prices! highly recommended! read more

This place has the best korean food Ive had in years! The short rib soup (galbi tang) was perfect and incredibly delicious. They gave huge portions if short rib and the was out of this world! Also the staff were extremely friendly and kind! It was just what was needed on a cold rainy day!^~^ read more

They have good foods and great service. The owner and operators are kind. The place is clean. Great for both causal and formal dinning. I will go more often if I live closer. read more

Legit!!!! This place rocks for Korean food! Service was slow at first but with Covid and all it was to be expected. But the food was spot on! Almost like I was back in Chinhae! Highly recommend!!!!!! read more

The unassuming and downright cozy aesthetic that this place has, is the third best thing going on at Kori. First, the food. Absolutely perfect. Got a pork rice bowl and some fried dumplings. The crispy and flavorful dumplings have permanently ruined me for the average dumplings most places have. And the rice bowl had perfectly spicy pork and the best crispy rice I've ever had. Everyone working there is ridiculously kind and attentive. I don't think my drink ever got less than halfway empty when someone came to give me a refill. And, they made sure everything was great without being overbearing. And the price is insanely low for the quality of food. Everything was fresh and crisp, the kimchi was refreshing and the pork was nothing but an explosion of flavor. I'll definitely be coming back soon. read more

Delicious, authentic Korean food and exceptional service. Best Korean restaurant we have tried in the Philly area. We will be back!

Phenomenal cooking. Great, delicious meals and an eclectic menu. Very welcoming, kind people and good service. I highly recommend if you're looking for amazing taste and a great amount of food for the prices. read more

I absolutely adore this place! Best Korean food I've had, even after living in center city, Philadelphia, for 4 years prior -this place's food is superior!! The staff is personable and informative, and can answer any questions about menu items you aren't familiar with. Every time I've gone, they serve a complimentary (and different, each time!) dessert at the end of the meal! Recommended to all my friends and coworkers :) read more

We had fried dumplings, spicy tuna roll, and bibimbap, which were all very tasty. The service was great. They are very friendly and felt like family. The place is comfortable with asian-style folding paper section walls, which provided partial (just enough) privacy for an intimate conversation. I would definitely come back to Kori. read more

Very authentic Korean food! Spicy beef soup and pork stew are awesome! So are the side dishes!

The pork stir fry was AMAZING! Wait staff were very nice. I really enjoyed the fresh pineapple after dinner as well. Excited to try more from the menu. read more

I totally enjoyed my dining experience. It is a family owned and operated restaurant. The daughter was my hostess and she is absolutely delightful. She is friendly and efficient. The menu is true Korean. My food was fantastic and, the portions are large. The prices are more than reasonable. I will return regularly. read more

Went here today with my daughter for lunch. What a wonderful surprise. The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but the whole experience left us feeling that we had just taken a brief trip to South Korea. The food is authentic and delicious. our waitress could not be more accommodating and at the end of our meal we met the owner/cook, Kimi. She and her husband own and work there together. They have many many years in the restaurant business and it shows. I highly recommend this place and will be returning soon. read more

We love this family restaurant, right at the corner, very convenient. Food is good, better if dined in. The hostess was very kind and attentive. read more

Nom nomz! Finally found a delicious Korean place! Relocated from the Bay Area and have grown up spoiled eating my friends' homemade Korean food. Got the bibimbap and seafood pancake, both delish! Portion size was excellent for the price and they didn't skimp on the banchan. The owners were really nice too. I hope they continue to do well! read more

Best breakfast sandwiches in the area! I got an egg and cheese on a croissant but our whole party liked their choices as well! Affordable and delicious. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu! read more

Definitely an authentic Korean place, but I have had way better. The seafood pancakes and dumplings were good ( nothing to die for). The bulgogi was fatty and just gave us an upset stomach afterwards. The kimchi lacked flavor. Not a place I would visit again, plus service was really slow. read more

I've eaten from KORI 3 times already and I cannot praise them enough! If you like Korean food and sushi definitely give KORI a try. I've had pork fried rice and their LA short rib bento box and both were absolutely excellent! Additionally, their more American style breakfast foods are soooo good, I definitely recommend trying a breakfast sandwich sometime read more

Excellent food. Bibimbab and bulgogi were both really good. Huge portions too. Will definitely be coming back.

just ate here for lunch with my boyfriend. the owner Kimmy is extremely friendly and helpful. the food was awesome. I had the salmon bento box which was one of their lunch specials , and my boyfriend had the seafood noodle soup. we also had the fried shrimp for an appetizer. i'm so full right now and i'm already planning on eating my boyfriends left overs when we get home read more
