Good service, great interior for hang outs Food was ok but not the best. Bingsu was too sweet. The chicken in the rice bowl was drier than average. We won't order the same things again but we might return for their jjajangmyeon
Ok, first time here. Bamm!!!! Bulgogi bibimbap, beef rice bowl, and the Korean soy garlic fried chicken made our day. I love these small family business operations backed by obvious major-league cooking talent. If you want authentic Korean close to home, Mr. Korea is a convenient stop for your next lunch or dinner. You will get great service (they checked on us around 6-7 times during our meal) and a mother's home-style flavor. I'm sure I'll be back real soon!
We walked in and went straight to order some food. The lady behind the counter didn't greet us, smile, or even acknowledge us. We decided on kimbap and saimin and got the lady's attention to order. She didn't seem happy we were bothering her. We went to the adjoining room and sat down. There was no one else in the establishment. They did not have the AC on. It was hot. A smiling young lady came out with the food, that was nice. We didn't see any utensils so I went back to the order window to request some. One would think I was disturbing the person there for them. The worst part was the food. The saimin wasn't even a basic Shin's. The kimbap was just ok. For some reason it seems like we visited an entirely different restaurant than the one everyone else is raving about. We couldn't figure out the draw. It was sort of cute, ok - but that's about it.
If l could l'd give this restaurant-0 l would. This is absolutely the worst food I had ever ordered, I'm a first time customer saw the rating on google but only found out how bad the food is the hard way. They are not selling what they advertised,We ordered 6 items and the total came up to almost 100 dollars, noddles, shrimp tempera, kimbap, dumplings and 10 pieces chicken wings. $15 beef brisket noodles is made of instant noodles, and there's no beef brisket in the noodles, its tiny pieces beef. The same goes for the seafood noodles, I don't see visible seafood it's also made from instant noodles, and the shrimp tempera looks like left overs from another table, when l took the takeout box l was thinking to myself what is it? Why it's so light? I opened to see 4 pieces tiny shrimp some veggies lying in the box, it's so light like 10 grams including the box in your hand and they charge for 9 dollars. If anyone goes to Asian supermarket to buy big raw shrimp, it's 6.99 a pound of shrimp. $10 dollars for the dumplings, they give you 5 small dumplings. the kimbap is spoiled, you can see closely from the picture the veggie on it already rotten, it has a sour taste. The fried chicken tastes soggy, it's old chicken wing reheated. We literally had to throw everything out in the trash. I don't understand how you can charge so much money from people by selling this type of quality food. Not to mention how horrific the customer service is, the older lady stand by the entrance when I first go in to see if the food is ready, I greeted her with a smile and she just stared down at me, my heart almost jump out of my chest from her she stare, she looked so scary and just stood by the entrance didn't make room for me to go inside get my food. From that moment I had a bad feeling about what's coming the next. They do not sell restaurant standard food but charge restaurant prices. I've called my bank for a charge back, but the result favors the merchant don't know why, I called the bank back reopen the case, if they favor the merchant again, Then l'm going to report to local health department. This absolutely robbery!
Food, service, and ambience were awesome. They moved next to Songsan and have added a lot to their menu. Everything from jajang dukbokki (for those who can't eat spicy) to tuna kimbap to fried chicken was delicious! Of course the mango bingsu was the highlight!
Omg I LOVE this little gem. I'm a huge fan of Korean fan and to find a place that sells kimbab is a huge win. The snack varieties are off the charts too. I will be back next weekend, and make it here every chance I get. Great customer service and the food is really good! I got kimbab, and some sweets.
I love Mr. Korea. I always get the bulgogi kimbab (which is pictured). Great service, clean restaurant, and friendly staff. Highly recommend.
After seeing such rave reviews, my partner and I decided to stop by for some grub. Unfortunately didn't have as great of an experience as the other yelpers. Upon entering an empty store, we weren't greeted which set the tone for the rest of our visit. After making it past all the stationery items and souvenirs, we finally got to the menu and decided on the rose tteokbokki, tuna kimbap, a sparkling lemonade and a can soda. Just these 4 things came out to a whooping 50+ dollars. Adjacent to the convenience/souvenir section and the kitchen, is a dining area with about 4-6 tables. Food took about 10-15 minutes and after trying a few bites both my partner and I found the tteokbokki and kimbap to be underwhelming. Nothing to write home about and definitely not worth the hefty price-tag. We had some leftovers so I asked for a take out box and when I said thank you, I was ignored. Not a big deal but I found that to be a bit off putting. Then my partner went to ask for a bag, and again was ignored when she said thank you. If the service alone wasn't enough to not come back, the food and price are two reasons we for sure won't be returning.
Stumbled across this cute place by accident with a few friends, and I'm so glad we did! We initially were drawn to check this place out because we saw that they sold a bunch of cute items and K-pop goodies (pens, stickers, notepads, etc), but we then realized they also serve Korean food. My friends and I had just had lunch so we got the mango bingsu for dessert -- it was really refreshing and had a perfect ratio of toppings to shaved ice! Will be back to try out the food next time :)
Our family is Korean and we're constantly disappointed by Korean food in the Philly area, most especially in the burbs. We also own a Korean restaurant so... we're pretty picky. That being said, the boon-shik style food here is very good. Boon shik style food is more comfort food and not formal dishes. It's a simple menu but they have all the basic categories of boon shik food that we get cravings for. My favorite was the ttuk-book-ki. Great flavor. Fried chicken also is worthy of a shout out. We also terribly miss bing soo (Korean shaved ice) and now there's a place in the burbs that make it! Nice find and we're definitely coming back here. You need to blast some K-pop and give this place a try.
Delish food and cheerful ambiance at this charming restaurant/cafe store. We enjoyed jjajangmyun, donkatsu, kimchi fried rice and udon. Food came out quick and felt like home. So tasty and yummy. The mango bingsu was the best we've had. Lots of bts merch

Really cool eatery! Love that there were so many things to look at while you wait for the food. Lots of trinkets, frozen items and packaged items to buy. I enjoyed my dalgona coffee while watching the kdrama that was on. I've never been here so I wanted to try a few things, I got the Mul Naengmyeon and a Jeyuk Quesadilla. The soup was refreshing; I've had something similar before and enjoyed the chewy noodles and savory broth. The quesadilla had good flavor but was very greasy. I was able to eat about half using chopsticks to eat the filling out of the tortilla. Service was average. I really enjoy the overall vibe of the eatery and would like to come back with friends and maybe try the tteokbokki. Is on the pricier side for three items, I paid $49. Still very cute and would recommend though! read more

Mr Korea moved into the Rittenhouse Deli. And it shares the kitchen with Songsan. Menu has rice, noodle, soups/stews. Small grocery area with Korean snacks and condiments. K-pop gifts. My yukgaejang was delicious! Wish I got more banchan selection ( restaurant side was closed for cleaning) I love this place read more
