    Kpop demon hunters themed drinks
    Kirsten F.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet, this was our 3rd or 4th time here. It's been a while since we don't have the time to sit down at a nice restaurant very often when we're in Ann Arbor but this was a fine choice this time around. The food here is so fresh and classic Korean with a little twist sometimes. It's the perfect balance of salty, spicy, umami in every bite. We had the radish kimchi and carrot salad to start (carrot salad is on the house these days). Both were really good. Crunchy and spicy. Next we had the lotus roots with soy nuts on top. These are one of the absolute favorites that we tried last time and had to get again this time. Salty, crunchy, nutty, yum! After that we got the Street Style Tteokbokki which has the egg on it. This was delicious, chewy and crispy rice batons with a spicy sauce and creamy egg and lardons. We got the royale style the time before and it was also amazing! We finished off last time and this time with the Korean fried chicken where we get the soy glaze on it and a bowl of the spicy sauce on the side so that my eating companion and I can adjust the spice to our liking. This is absolutely the best and a must get! And either my spice tolerance is up or they adjusted the spice down, but it was absolutely perfect this time around. We also opted for the soy butter rice this time which was good but almost too rich for me. My eating companion said this was the best, but I'm on the fence. I think it could use more soy and less butter. We don't get any desserts this time around but I did get the kpop demon hunters themed "gonna be golden" hot toddy with apricot brandy and it was perfect for the cold winter day. Service is always exceptional here, being as it's associated with Zingermans so the staff are well trained, attentive and knowledgeable, and food comes out perfect. We will be going here as many times as we can squeeze in a trip over to A2.

    Kind of a "fast food" vegan style rice/noodle spot next to Kim's - the sit down and from what I understand, white table cloth kind of restaurant. One of the warmer days in February and able to sit on patio to watch passer by. They bring food to you after ordering at front counter. Had tofu and noodles tha had lots of good flavor and was too much for me to eat all of it. My friend had noodles with rice. Also got seaweed appetizer with noodle and very tasty. Nice lunch spot with great food.

    Outstanding! Love the food, the care and intention that goes into the food, the friendly service, and the whole dining experience at Miss Kim. Be aware that this is a nice, leisurely meal! And budget time accordingly :). My favorites and must gets: - Tteokbokki (street style is my favorite but I bet they're all great). The TEXTURE and flavor of this is the best. - Fried Chicken - Broccolini!! Not sure how they get these both so tender and soo crispy at the same time. The flavor combinations with the fish sauce and sweetness is phenomenal. I love that they do little banchan dishes too, complimentary. We got the crunchy spiced carrots and the radish kimchi today - yum. Everything I've tried here is great! Many unique alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well.

    This was my second time here and it's kind of telling I had zero recollection of the first. Service was rough on a Wednesday night. A reservation was definitely necessary to be seated, so don't sleep on that! Somehow a couple got seated next to us a while after we arrived, ordered, were served their meal, finished and left all before we got our check. It was weird. Preferred customers or...? My partner's cocktail also sat on the bar and melted for a good 10+ minutes before being brought to our table. I almost just grabbed it on my way back from the bathroom. Food was all good but nothing really blew us away. The Korean fried chicken was pretty fire (get the chili glaze). I was excited to try the special miso butter rice but found it bland. The broccolini in caramel fish sauce was another favorite. Smashed potatoes cooked well and the seasoning is like crack. Tteokbokki was nicely soft and crispy on the outside, but the egg was kind of pointless because it just slid off and lingered on the plate. So, I doubt we'll be back for a third time, but we'd have a decent meal if so. I just don't understand the hype.

    An absolute gem of a restaurant in Ann Arbor. The food is so tasteful and delicious. The staff is so friendly and kind. I love the coziness and vibe and always have the best time when I eat there!

    Napa Cabbage Kimchi and carrot salad
    Nisha N.

    An excellent dining experience. Would recommend making reservations, as the restaurant got busy. The tables are close together, but there was space to move around. I do think that it is a little more expensive than warranted, however the food was good quality. Standout food was the Korean fried chicken and the tteokbokki. I do wish that the kimchi was included with the meal as opposed to paying $5 for a small bowl of kimchi! The potatoes and cheese were good complements to the meal. Did not try any cocktails.

    I really wanted to love this place lol To start we ordered broccolini with caramel fish sauce and it was very surprising. The smell of it comes off strongly of fish sauce but the sweetness of the caramel balances it out. Flavor comes in these packed waves as most of the sauce is concentrated in the head bushels which are soft and charred while the cashews and blanched stems give a bouncy crunch, really texturally pleasing. Then came the bibimbap, very standard but well done veggies and protein, but the gochujang sauce had more depth than most. The thing that stood out to me was the rice, typically in stone pot rice bowls that layer gets burnt with how hot it gets but in this one it was barely browned but still really crispy, I have a feeling they cooked the bottom layer on low heat first to dry it out without burning the rice? Nice touch. Lastly the korean fried chicken plate. The soy rice was subtly umami packed and the chicken had that sticky finger licking sauce and crunch you'd expect. My only real problem was that the pieces were so large that the middle of the chicken were pretty dry and unflavorful. Personally I would have preferred smaller chicken pieces or maybe if the chicken had been brined. Overall everything was seasoned perfectly and felt like a very healthy and delicious meal. As a side, the service was fantastic and the ambiance was great (though its a bit uncomfortable to squish in the reception area while we were waiting)

    WOW! This spot is fantastic! We showed up with a party of four and a reservation on a Friday night, I'd highly recommend a reservation or I'm not sure you'll get in. We got drinks and a handful of dishes off the menu to split- I can't remember everything we got but nothing was a miss. You really can't go wrong, the flavor is phenomenal. We had two servers, both were kind and helpful. For how packed it was, the service was fairly quick. The interior has a great design to it, a little loud but considering every seat was full not too bad. Try this spot as soon as you can!

    Tteokbokki stew
    Raagini Y.

    Just the best place for Korean food that I know in this area Carrot salad to start always amazing I usually get a kimchi ideally cabbage for fiber but the radish is good too The scallops were amazing with the butternut squash purée and hazelnuts Vegetarian tteokbokki stew outstanding with rice You cannot go wrong I always ask for a side of the gochujang sauce which everyone should do. It feels like required eating. 10/10 among my favorite places. I used to get great service but haven't liked my waitress recently. It's more about her vibe that I don't like but the rest of the wait staff is awesome. And ambiance is fun.

    Lucille F.

    Modern Korean cuisine. Service can be spotty when they get busy (which is often). It can get noisy so not ideal for conversations.

    Galbi

    I NEVER write reviews. If I could rate this place 0 stars I would. What do you mean I paid $20 for 9 pieces of rice cake. Extremely below average tteokbokki. Server told me the Galbi is a plate that's meant for sharing... LIES! $37 for ONE piece of short rib, again below average. Who are we supposed to share with exactly? Presentation was a 6 at best. Mind you I'm VERY easy to please. Would rather go elsewhere.

    Makku rice beer
    Jess L.

    Absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! The name of the game with all food was CRISPYYYY! Came with group of 6 on a Saturday night w/ a reservation. We all got drinks, split some apps, and entrees. We split some smashed potatoes - soo good and crispy, I'd say you need 2 orders for a group over 4! And the fried cheese - WOW, these were dynamite! Extremely crispy batter. For drinks make sure to get the Makku rice beer - it was kinda sweet, never had anything like it. For dinner, we got a few Tteokbokki's, my favorite was the cacio e Pepe. The crispy rice with the cheese is DYNAMITE. My husband and I split the soy glaze fried chicken which was outstanding, great savory flavor and perfect crisp. Our friends got the spice blend which also looked great. Service was quick and we all had a great time. No one had leftovers and we are still talking about it! Make sure to check out some of Ann Arbor's best Korean food!!

    Jacob Y.

    The menu has some intriguing options, and the tteokbokki was a highlight, but the rest fell a bit short. On the bright side, the iced cinnamon tea was fantastic.

    Clean, good food, and friendly employees!…read more Parking is the only difficult thing (the elevator was broken in the nearest parking garage so we couldn't park there since we have a baby with us and it was cold outside). Thankfully my husband found a spot right on the street! I chose KBBQ for my birthday dinner and my husband found this place. They have a good variety of side dishes (pumpkin, mashed potato, spicy fish cakes, etc)! The food was good and we liked the meat! The brisket wasn't too thin and the steak was delish!! They have decoration very similar to Kimchi Box with neon signs and art featuring scenes from Seoul. The employees were friendly. We want to return and try other dishes on their menu!

    Based on 3-4 visits…read more For background I have spent allot of time in Korea as my wife is Korean. I am not obsessed with getting food that is authentic as long as it is good. This place is aligned fairly well though with food in Korea though ie not highly westernized. This place is in the center of the college area on Liberty and State street. The selection is not extensive but the basics are here including BBQ. Side dishes are decent, Kimchi, which is fundamental to any Korean meal and varies by region, is always included and people have strong opinions about. Theirs is OK but not top notch. Other side dishes are decent. Whatever we ordered, BBQ, Yuk Gae Jang, Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap (Rice. Vegetables and beef inn stone pot), other was pretty good.....just like Seoul Garden used to be before ownership change. We used to go almost exclusively to Seoul Garden near the mall off Boardwalk but after ownership change stopped as the taste changed significantly and not for the better. Its nice to have The Seoul is an option. They have beer and soju (Ubiquitous Korean liquor in Korea that along with Kimchi is many Koreans blood) Environment of the restaurant is modern but still a bit cozy. Overall, definitely worth a try. While we are at it, I have spent allot of time in Japan on business (some vacationing too) and I know it's trendy to go there now especially with the exchange rate, and by all means go, allot to see and experience (and eat!) there. But don't overlook Korea. The two countries have a torrid history and don't want to admit they are similar in many ways....but they are and Korea is loaded with great places to go and food to eat. Traveling can be done on any budget, feel free to reach out if you want to learn more. Also love to hear from experienced travelers, love to learn of new places and things to do.

    I went back to Azalea for a family dinner and didn't realize they had changed their menu since the…read morefirst time I visited. The quality of the food is still amazing and worth a visit, but there were some items I wish stayed on the menu. For example, the spicy salmon crispy rice is no longer available and only available in the tuna form. The portions are also smaller, now coming in three small bites rather than the two big bites from before. The gochujang rigatoni and kimchi paella are also unavailable. Some new dishes I tried and loved were the short rib and the grilled octopus. The octopus was incredibly tender and I couldn't stop eating it! It also comes with delicious potatoes. The short rib was a larger portion and also tasted delicious. The rest of my table ordered the miso cod. The miso cod was delicious, but the portion was quite small and arguably not worth its price compared to the short rib. Cocktails that I recommend are The Gatsby and The Promised Neverland if you like sweeter drinks! For the service, we felt a bit rushed as we were dining. Normally the drinks come out followed by the appetizers, but our appetizers came first and the drinks came with our mains. I think there was a missed opportunity to sip on our drinks and chat with our party as we enjoyed the restaurant's ambience. Otherwise, the food came quickly and was well served.

    I'm pretty torn on this one, hence the 2 stars. I came here with a friend for dinner and we were…read morerudely greeted and told that it would be best if we sat at the bar because they were busy. It was restaurant weekend in downtown Ann Arbor and we didn't have a reservation, so we obliged, although the space was pretty empty. Once we got to the bar, the young waitress slammed menus down in front of us and acted extremely annoyed by our presence. After bothering us every minute for the next 5 minutes to order, me and my friend put in our orders in haste. We then waited for 30 minutes for our meals to arrive. I got the "Amazing Shrimp" sushi roll and my friend got the "Grilled Angus Short Rib". As noted on the menu it comes with Mashed Potatoes, Shishito Peppers, and Garlic Chives. Per my friend's request, the order did not come with the Shishito Peppers or Garlic Chives, but it also didn't have the potatoes. After asking for the potatoes, our server went back and we could hear her yelling at the kitchen staff. Minutes later she came out with a bowl of 3 potatoes, not mashed and not hot. My roll was great and I'd definitely order again if I come back, but I'm honestly not too inclined to after this experience. Lastly, the restaurant itself was freezing. It was a cold day but it was way colder inside than it should've been. We ended up keeping our coats on for most of dinner. I really do want to like it here because the vibe seemed very modern and clean, however the service, food, and level of professionalism fell short of my expectations.
