I may add to this later, as I am presently devouring stone bowl bibimbap. This place is fantastic and reasonably priced. The "build-your-own bibimbap" ordering system is great and allows for a lot of great flavor combinations to deliciously assault your palate. Favorite thus far: Stone Bowl Bibimbap, Mixed Rice, Bulgogi AND Tofu, with Kochi sauce. There are other options as well, Korean inspired burgers (on my list to try) and some other stuff as well. I expect to return multiple times. read more

I've only ever been in for lunch. The chicken teriyaki bowl is a must. My co-workers all get it and ask for the ginger sauce to accompany it. The service is pretty quick and it seems to always have a nice crowd at lunch. It's very cleans as well with a quaint patio out back, perfect for nice days. read more

This place was delicious and I loved the ambiance. Definitely recommend the Hot Stone Bibimbap with the traditional sauce...ridiculously fresh and tasty! I had mine with Tofu. I'm only here 2 days and I will be back! read more

See all

Great place for some delicious Korean food. We loved the Bibimbap. I really liked the atmosphere and the food was really light.

Koriya is simply fantastic. the decor is simple, elegantly upscale, and modern. I have been a few times and every time I like to try something new, and nothing has disappointed me. The portions are very good sizes; enough for yourself and some left over or to share and get an appetizer. The staff is super nice and the service is quick. its always a good choice for a lunch date or a business lunch. the food is so fresh and delicious going there is always on my list of options when i want to go out with my wife. its so nice to have something that is out of the norm here in Springfield and Koriya is one of those gems that we should aspire to get more of. read more

I used to love this place. I'd rave about it. But after my last experience I doubt I'll be back. I ordered the hot stone bowl and it came out about 10 min after the other food. The bowl was so hot that the food was popping. I've gotten the hot stone bowl many times and enjoy the crispy rice on the bottom but this time the rice was hard and burned as were the veggies. I couldn't eat it. I shared this with the manager Gabe. He informed me that the rice should be crispy. Well yeah. It's a hot bowl. But I shared again that the food was actually burned, hard and inedible. He kept making excuses but offered to remake the food. No apologies. It was so uncomfortable. What a terrible experience. I won't be back. People make mistakes. Overheat bowls and that's okay. But one should be able to offer an apology for a mistake and not shame the customer for speaking up. read more

First time! Staff was extremely helpful. Food was great and very filling. Vegan options available (:

Normally food is spot on and pretty darn close to traditional. We normally have it delivered via DoorDash and have never been. Like I said really good. Tonight not so much? Still good but have had better hoping it was just an off night? The Shoyu Ramen was a little bland, but pork bulgogi was spot on. read more

Well, I have a new favorite Korean restaurant. The restaurant is on the small side and seating can be a bit tricky, and they make everything fresh so there may be a bit of a wait, but good things come to those who wait. I had the beef bibimbap in the hot stone bowl. It was very good and the kimchi is the best I've found in Springfield. I will most certainly be back! read more

To all my ramen lovers! I have to be very honest because I love ramen and today I tried the Spicy Shrimp Ramen, and I was not impressed at all. First off, the two fried shrimps that they put inside the soup were instantly soggy; totally no point of them, pretty gross actually. Secondly, they put other sea food items inside the soup like clams and imitation crab. The clams were full of sand and the imitation crab was tasteless. The broth itself was ok, but not spicy enough or salty enough. Nothing crunchy inside, so overall kind of disappointed with it! read more

I have gone with a couple friends who love this place. It is clean, nice serving staff. One of the nicest 'cafeteria style' Asian places to look at in town. The register staff are not very warm or welcoming. The food is not especially flavorful beyond 'SALT'. The owner seems erratic and not very kind....I have seen staff cry due to something said. It is not my place to repeat what was said...I didn't hear it. I saw the results. I never go on my own and cannot recommend. read more

Best place in town! The green wrap, the service, the hot stone ..... everything is great!

Was looking for a good Korean restaurant and chose this one because it had a good rating on Google. As someone with a Korean background, this did not taste like Korean food at all. We ordered the Zaru Soba, Spicy Pork Bulgogi Bowl, Shoyu Ramen, and Bulgogi Bowl and none of it tasted like Korean food. As far as quality, it wasn't too bad, but if you're looking for authentic Korean food, this isn't the place. I will say the customer service was very good, though! read more

Very fresh and delicious. Bibi sauce (Korean BBQ) was yummy. We really liked the Japchao (? Not on order board; maybe a special) sweet potato noodle dish but get a side sauce for extra flavor. Bibimbap was very good, would have been great if the shrimp were not over cooked. Very attractive ambiance for this type of restaurant. Outside seating patio in the back, away from traffic, would be enjoyable in good weather. Very reasonable prices, especially considering fresh and cooked to order. read more

I drive past this joint a dozen times per week and never ventured in. I can't believe I've missed it! The food was excellent, the service was friendly and had a great lunch. Quick service and delicious i had the teriyaki chicken in a stone bowl. It was hot and perfectly spicy. I'll be back for lunch - a lot! read more

Owner is always friendly. Food is always fresh. Very modern restaurant and food is always delicious.

Always fresh and delicious and willing to tailor food to meet your needs (no carbs, sauces on the side). The hot stone and ramen is my favorite and I have never had a bad meal here. Helps that the staff and owner are such nice people. read more

We have been here several times and every time the food tastes good, is hot (it is made to order), and the service is friendly. We have not had a bad experience nor bad food in the several times we have been here. It has an upscale feel but with counter service rather than servers. They bring your food to you after you order and you get your own drinks. Bottom line: good food, good prices, and good service makes this a good restaurant. read more

I really enjoy this place. Always has fresh ingredients that taste great. Clean environment with attentive service. My personal favorite is the "create your own" bulgogi with a side of seaweed salad. Perfect when you're craving some ethnic food! read more

Very good and different. The host is very knowledgeable of explaining the different choices and sauce pairings. The spicy pork is my favorite in a hot stone bowl. Be sure to eat the crunchy rice on the bottom!! read more

Thank you, Yelp search, for finding a place in Springfield that serves Ramen. I've been on a hunt for good, legit, tasty Ramen in this town for a long time... And I can't say that Koriya is it, but it's worth a visit. Koriya is tucked away in a little strip center on South Fremont, and may have one of the weirdest restaurant layouts I've ever seen, but I did enjoy it. I walked in and told the nice young man at the register that this was my first time ever visiting. I expected for him to guide me through the ordering process a little bit, since this place reminds me of a Chipotle of Asian food. There's a long bar with toppings in bins, almost like I'm supposed to walk down the line and pick out what I want. Instead of guiding me through the ordering process, he says "I've never heard that before." And then just stands there and looks at me. We ordered the only two Ramen choices on the menu, number one and number 2. The spicy shrimp ramen bowl is definitely the way to go. The traditional Ramen had a very bland broth, noodles , 4 pieces of pork, some bamboo, and half an egg. Entirely too heavy on the bean sprouts--- I'm talking like 5 bean sprouts per spoonful, and the egg was a miserable failure. When I think authentic good ramen, I think a soft-boiled egg laying there beautifully in my bowl... I got half a hard boiled egg flopped into a bowl of beef broth. However, the spicy shrimp ramen bowl was pretty good. It came with two pieces of tempura shrimp, which would be better if they were served on the side instead of getting soggy in my broth, but I digress. The broth itself had a healthy amount of chili oil so there was some heat, but it wasn't overwhelming. There was calamari, mussels, baby octopus, and shrimp also. Verging on overdone, but it's an $8 bowl of ramen so I guess I probably shouldn't complain. One major distraction about eating here was the server's overuse of the word 'friend.' I probably heard it six times, and after he got done bringing food to the large table next to ours, I think my ears were bleeding. Not everyone is his friend, I understand he's trying to be polite, but come on. Expand your vocabulary a little bit. Anyway. Worth a visit, especially since I want to try their hot stone bowls. It's priced well, clean, and fast...and everyone is a 'friend.' :) read more

I love different kinds of food and I feel I am very open minded but this food literally made me sick. I love Indian food, Thai food, african food, you name it. This food is VERY different and I felt it was either rotten or just very weird and not usually. The mushrooms were gross and I LOVE mushrooms. All kinds. Anyways if you aren't into VERY different and healthy foods, I would stay away. read more

Very cute place. The Korean short ribs were okay. I was very disappointed that it did not come with any sides at all. I think they should have at least included Kim chi at the bare minimum. I think there's definitely room for improvement for their Korean items. The ramen was okay. read more

This place takes my all-time favorite Korean dish, hot stone bibimbap and turns it WAAAAY up and out in tremendous fashion. Fresh ingredients, nutritious selections and just enough of the traditional Korean flavor to make this a regular stop for the whole family. read more

Best Korean food in Springfield. Every dish I've tried is great.

Solidly good road food, fast and friendly service, not too far from the highway, and better than anything you'll find on the highway.

Great spot but they desperately need a chicken broth based spicy ramen if they want me back. And the noodle portion was small.

My wife ,and I have eaten here on several occasions whether it be for lunch or dinner. The food is well portioned, and whether true or not I have the perception it's healthier than most eat out choices. read more

One of the Best in Springfield. Food is incredible and fresh. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu here.

This was my third try at this restaurant. The other visits~ I was not impressed but wanted really wanted to like this place. Just an hour ago, I came in for lunch and ordered the fried shrimp bowl. It mentioned broccoli, so, it's kind of healthy, right? The shrimp and other pieces of tempura were soggy, the breading was actually falling off of the food. The broccoli: two ICE COLD pieces of broccoli, not even stir fried....all of this *goodness* over a big bowl of white rice. The rice was not seasoned, just a bowl of semi warm rice. Probably will not return, it was the worst lunch that I've had in years. read more

Fantastic. Had the Hot Stone (bowl!) Bibimbap with black rice and kori sauce, incredible. I've used Yelp occasionally for years, but this is the first time I decided to actualy write a review. read more

So many good options, very clean and calm atmosphere. The food is good and it doesn't make me feel bloated or gross.

I got the shoyu ramen and it literally taste like packaged 25 cents ramen noodles you can get at wal mart plus green onions and bean sprouts. Save your money people. Two stars for the possibility that their other menu items might taste good. read more

Wow! Fantastic food. When I traveled in Korea I didn't like most of the food but bibimbap was fantastic! 9 years from that first taste I've found it here at home!! Incredibly helpful young man advised on my order and it was out at my table in like 2 minutes. Very fresh and tasty. I deleted egg and added bulgogi. I opted for kochi sauce as I love spicy (it's served on side). I'm coming back for a dinner sometime because they have Hite beer, too! Brings back great memories to be here. It's located in a little strip center near a very busy intersection so be patient turning in or out.....but it's worth it. Tastefully decorated, too read more

The servings are huge. Tons of options. Clean. Friendly staff. The best thing is the cinnamon cold drink, comes in a little bowl. I will be back! read more

Koriya is one of my favorite restaurants in Springfield. The service is friendly and the food, delicious and fresh. My highest recommendation is the hot stone bibimbap. read more

This place is really good. The various combinations make their menu quite extensive. All of the bowls are great and the kimchi is some of the best in Springfield. The only problem is seating... When it's busy, you might have to wait. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I think this is my new favorite place to eat, especially when I'm in a hurry. read more

While I thought that some of the entrees were a little overpriced, the food is good and we left with full bellies. The service was a bit slow and I witnessed 2 girls waiting on their to-go orders and finally had to ask about them. I'm not sure what the mixup was but it took a little bit longer before they left with their o read more

Excellent food. I got the shoyu ramen and I enjoyed every last bite. I will be here again! Shame I had not discovered it sooner.

This is seriously the best little place. I love the casual atmosphere, and the food is amazing! I ordered the salad rice with teriyaki chicken and the spicy sauce, and it came with miso soup! I love Korean food, and this place is my go to for something quick and delicious! read more
