The overall service of this place was really nice, with the servers being really helpful to make sure you got what you wanted. The overall atmosphere of the place was really simple and neat, and it felt really cozy. The quality of the food is really good quality, but the taste of the food was bland. read more

Yummy. Fast and great service. Located in Highland, IN! We ordered Korean Seafood pancake, Fried Calamari and Short Ribs. $115 with 50% tip. The service was THAT good We made a pit stop to a Korean BBQ restaurant because I was craving seafood pancakes. We wanted short ribs but they were only seen on the Korean BBQ menu. I asked if the cooks in the back could grill it because we didn't want the hassle or smell stuck to us. They made it for us!! I was super happy. Our server was training, but our server was super sweet, helpful and nice. Everything was delicious. Tables are spaced away far enough where you don't feel stuffed. Decoration and ambiance is nice. read more

Service was fantastic...food not so much. Every thing was kind of bland. The calamari was tough & small. read more

Loved the food choices, loved cook in with my family. Service was great. All around good experience. Good choice for special occasions.

Had dinner at Kui and it definitely hit the spot for my Korean food craving. While it's known for Korean BBQ, we went with the à la carte menu instead, and it did not disappoint. The kimchi pancakes were flavorful, and the Soon Tofu Jjigae was rich and comforting--exactly what I was hoping for. The atmosphere is casual, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. Service was a bit slow, but the food was worth the wait. Definitely a place I'll be returning to! read more

Kui Korean BBQ - Fried wings. - Korean Near Me - Highland, Indiana

This place was just okay. Service was okay. The ambiance was a little loud with kpop blasting nonstop. The meats are not special, the rice was not the best, the banchan was not fresh, the soup was mediocre, and the lettuce wrap and garlic were not free, even when having BBQ (which I found very odd and disappointing). Unfortunately, they are the only KBBQ in the area. Please be better. read more

This the only Korean restaurant here in NWI and I need everyone to come here so it will stay! The only other place around here is BIBIBOP, but that isn't even close to the same. (even though I enjoy it as well haha) Both times I've visited we had wonderful service! But both times also only had one other family dining the same time as us. I am worried about people not coming here since I will go crazy if I have to drive an hour or more to find Korean food!! The soup you get as an appetizer is sooo yummy and I could eat it all day. Reminds me of my grandma's but I have no clue how she made it so it is always great having it here :) Banchan was okay and I liked the mix of cucumbers/carrots in the corn. And some of the cucumber kimchi had the perfect bite of sweet/spicy and was delicious! My boyfriend got bulgogi and it came out extremely fast. He ate it so quickly that I didn't really get the chance to try it haha. It was savory and the gogi was on the softer side. I tried the kimchi jiggae as it gives so much nostalgia for me and I wanted to see how they made it. They definitely used a good amount of gochugaru, so if you are not used to/dislike spice in your throat (comparable to a pepper dry rub feel if you never had gochugaru), you might want to ask if you can get less in yours. I was expecting more MSG or dashida but it was didn't have much salt/flavor compared to the spice. It was a nice portion and I was just so happy to be able to eat it as I was missing Korean food a little extra today. :) I see that some older reviews have people that clearly do not understand the concept of KBBQ, so it sucks that the restaurant's review score tanked because of them. I understand that there are no other places to compare it to around here, so if you never really travel outside of NWI it might be a new concept for you. I think next time I would want to try the KBBQ here, but I always change my mind since I love my Korean entrees. Overall, I think that the staff are lovely and the place is always so clean.... And all it is missing are more customers! read more

Our first visit last Saturday evening. Moved from Chicago to NW Indiana. We were seeking local Korean cuisine. Comparing to great Korean restaurants in Chicago, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of ingredients, flavor of menu. We rate Kui Korean BBQ a 7/10. Clean, great service, food and specialty cocktails. We'll be back. Worth a visit. Kudos to owners and entire staff. Cheers! read more

Great food, upscale casual atmosphere (for the area). The food is fantastic, portions are enough for leftovers, and the staff is very welcoming. 5/5 would stop in again. read more

Food, service, and ambiance were awesome. The service was quick and our server was extremely professional and friendly. Raw food is brought to your table in abundance. You cook at the table, and if you need assistance, the server cheerfully assists you. My only complaint, is the costs was extremely high since we had to do our own cooking. read more

So... I've learned something new. If you request more banchan they charge you. It doesn't matter if you request one dish refill or all, they charge you the same. This annoys me as much as Mexican places that charge for chips and salsa. AND I am noticing the automatic 18% gratuity at more than a few places. I'm learning not to hate it so much. But IF that's what you're gonna do, I should not be waiting around for service and then eventually having to ask for my server. Which happened the last two times I ate here. I understand this is the only local place to offer "Korean" food but they are getting too comfortable. And I would much rather take a trip into the city... get the banchan complimentary (as most places do) and suffer the service there. At lease they're not charging me an automatic 18%. read more

Kui Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Highland, Indiana

I was skeptical ordering from here because I haven't had authentic Korean food in over 20 years. I'm in the Chicagoland area and have been to so many Korean restaurants that just disappoint. This place is as authentic as you can get outside of Korea. The kimchi is amazing and the cold soba noodles are to die for. I haven't been able to find them anywhere until now. I asked for extra sauce and extra spicy and man did they deliver. This is my new favorite and will definitely be ordering again. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Korean cuisine. Thank you! read more

Today he saw me sniffling, due to a cold, and he brought me a complementary tea along with one to go home! And he always helps us pack our food to go. The service is amazing! Highly recommend Kui Korean BBQ! read more

Kui Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Highland, Indiana

Food was amazing !! However the service suckeddddd !!! & they also decided to add a tip !!

We have passed this place numerous times and figured it was time to try it out. I haven't been to a Korean BBQ in years so I was ready! There are several size tables from 4-8 so large parties can be accommodated. 4 people per cooking element. The options are endless from apps to main meal. You can cook it yourself or have them cook it. We opted to cook ourselves as that is what one should do here right?! They have specials and we opted for the $60 couples special. 1app, sides, 3 meats, s'mores. If it's your first time there, don't be shy and let them know. They are more than accommodating to show you the ropes. Spring rolls were light and delicious. The dipping sauce was just sweet enough. Our choices of meat were marinated Bulgogi, garlic butter chicken, and pork belly. My favs were the pork and bulgogi as they had the most flavor. The garlic didn't come through on the chicken which we were hoping for but still good. The sides were broccoli, pickled radish, fish cake, squash and others. White rice also came with the meal. Two sauces - one with a delayed heat and a sweeter one. We each had one s'more. When you are done with your meal they will remove the cooking surface so you can melt or burn! Your mellow as much as you like for your treat! read more

Kui Korean BBQ - Cooking bulgogi and pork belly - Korean Near Me - Highland, Indiana

First of all, HIGHLY impressed with this restaurant. From the food, service, portions, to quality, everything blew my mind away. We live in Chicago and came to Indiana to visit friends. We frequent many Korean BBQ joints in Chicago and honestly did not have high expectations for one in Indiana of all places. But holy cow if you are in the area try this place! We ordered a combo of meats for 6 people plus an additional full portion of another meat, along with 2-3 appetizers, it was plenty of food and we all left very happy. RE: Food, the marinated chicken and short ribs were a favorite. Do yourself the favor and drink some peach soju with your meal. And if that couldn't get any better they gave us cute little smores at the end of the meal as a dessert! Loved my experience here, will come back next time we're in the area. read more

We LOVED our time at Kui! We thought it would be so fun to bring the kid here, and it was! We had some really great cocktails to start. We ordered a variety of meats and it came with a lot of other items (pickled veggies, etc) as well. The bulgogi was my favorite. The short rib is just too fatty for me, but that's a short rib. And the shrimp was great! We also got a noodle dish to share and everyone loved it. The best part is they brought s'mores out at the end and the kids really thought that was so cool! Our service was great as well. A really fun spot! read more

I had middle expectations since it just opened a week ago. The bad... They definitely need to train their wait staff, the lady we had was very cordial but clueless on the menu items and haven't eaten the food yet herself. We asked for recommendations. She could tell us the most popular though so that was good. The restaurant is very loud! No partitions between tables so sound is strong. Left with a headache from the noise level. The good... The food! We ordered two entrees to share. The sirloin (to cook on the grill) and the shrimp lo mein. The sirloin was marinated and came with sides, rice, and soup. The shrimp lo mein was tasty, fresh, and the veggies were great! I added photos and I totally recommend the sirloin. We even put the shrimp on the grill. read more

The food was good. I had the Veggie Bibi and veggie fried potstickers. Both were good.

Came with my nephew and my dad. They loved it. My nephew thought it was so fun to cook his own food. He is a lil chef in the making. He is 10 so highly recommend for his age group. We got the brisket and garlic butter shrimp.... brisket cooks fast. Shrimp was by far my favorite! Loved the sauces and all the set side dishes. And the soup was great as well. Lastly comes with with white rice. Was a Saturday afternoon around 3ish and was a full house, by 4:40 was quiet again. read more
