I think this place is a hidden gem. It's as authentic as being in Seoul, where I've been twice. Kimbap, bibimbap, scallion pancake are great. Don't miss out on the best Korean fried chicken in town! Ambiance is designed for efficiency. Service is always friendly. read more

I was craving ramen and had limited options. We walked in just after 9pm. Several people walked in 10-15min after us and were told they were closed, even though the website and door said they didn't close till 10pm The ramen was enough to fill my craving, but was just so-so. It looked like they had a lot of other good things on the menu. read more

The food was hot and delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean.

Found this restaurant on Yelp and read several reviews. After looking at the menu and location, this restaurant was selected for dinner. The place is in a strip mall off of College Street in Auburn. We were seated quickly and drink and entrees orders were taken. The spicy chicken, rice, and mandu along with beverages were picked. Food came out within a reasonable time and we were checked on frequently by the serving staff during the stay. The chicken was well-prepared and very tasty. The side dishes consisted of a good variety of spicy, non-spicy dishes that helped with eating the meal. Overall, this was a good place for dinner when wanting Korean food in Auburn. read more

Auburn has an amazing Korean food scene and Naruto is one of our favorite places! They recently remodeled inside and it looks amazing! They are ALWAYS busy but it's worth the wait. You can't go wrong with anything off their menu and my always go-to dish is their Kimchi Stew! It doesn't matter if it's hot or cold outside, it's still one of my favorites... filled with lots of flavor and spicy! read more

I liked everything!! The food was delicious and tasty, the service was excellent very attentive and polite, and the ambiance was like a Kdrama place !! read more

Get the Auburn Tiger Roll!! The best part is that it's $5.95 and you won't regret it! The Beef Bibimbap in the stone bowl was delicious; it's definitely one of the better ones I've had in Auburn. The veggies were perfectly crunchy and the meat was cooked just right. My one critique would be I wish the egg was put in the bowl uncooked like most authentic places so I could mix it in the stone bowl myself and have it cooked that way. Nonetheless, I will be back! read more

They have menu items here that you cant find at other local Korean restaurants and if you are willing to take a change you can find a few of the gems here. For example the blood sausage here is delicious and comes in a huge portion. I couldnt take a flattering picture of it only because.. well its sausage and its dark... use your imagination. But whatever its delicious. If you want an idea of what it tastes like then it like a mix of boudin and a blood sausage. Worth a try if you are feeling adventurous. The Korean fried chicken is worth a trip here as well. Also, comes in a huge portion and its covered in a sweet, spicy, sticky sauce that is so irresistible. The 3 star rating is for the price point for the food. A bit more expensive than its worth in my opinion. read more

First time trying Korean food, and it was so delicious. The kimchi was amazing, same with the radish and cucumber. Some of the things we got were the Ramen, short ribs, and the spicy pork. All super good and filling. read more

My friend and I tried this place out for the first time last week. We expected it to go really well or terribly bad. We were pleasantly surprised to find out this place was the real deal. A very nice and neat interior, great recommendations from the cashier, and excellent food. Definitely a hidden gem in auburn read more

Best Korean food I've ever had. Service is great and super quick. 10/10 would recommend

Naruto is consistently tasty with extremely friendly service. I especially like the kimchi stew. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that enjoys Korean food. read more

This place is very unassuming...it's in a tiny location in a strip mall in Auburn, Alabama; but do not be fooled: the food here is amazing. I had only eaten Korean food a few times before in my life. I wouldn't describe myself as picky, but I can definitely be a hesitant eater, especially if I can't predict exactly how a dish will taste. When I walked into naruto, my server was very patient with me and answered all my questions. He even asked me some questions of his own in order to best gauge what kind of dish I would best like. I had the spicy goat stew and the seafood pancake. I had never had goat before. I had also never tasted the spices that were in the stew. It was incredible! It was definitely money well spent. It's so nice to try something new and enjoy it thoroughly. I highly recommend this place. read more

This place is wonderful! Don't hesitate. They have the largest menu I've ever seen. I had the ramen which was amazing and my wife had the shrimp and chicken bowl. Very good and authentic food. Atmosphere and quality is pretty good for the price. I will definitely be back!! read more

this cafe is not pretty good as my friends told The tarayokia chicken box is bad The chicken is overcooked and the fried rice just like without any salt Not so happy read more

It's not that this place is bad but in comparison to all the Japanese food I've ever had, it wasn't great. I thought Fuji was even better which is only a few stores down. The service here is nice as expected in a sit-down restaurant. We ordered the Roll Tide Roll and the Teriyaki Chicken combo dinner box. The Teriyaki chicken was what really saved everything because the fried rice wasn't really that good. They served a lot of appetizers like mushroom miso soup and this salad with the weirdest dressing texture I've ever seen. I figured out that the texture is weird once I located the fridge that stored all of their pre-made salads who knows how long ago. The Roll Tide Roll was alright. It was just very very cheesy. Probably the most cheese in a special roll I've ever had. It's not that it was bad. It's just not something I would have again. I think this place gets such a review from me not because it's bad by any means but compared to all the sushi places I've ever had, this doesn't compare, but if you didn't have the same sushi experience I had, then this place really isn't bad at all. read more

The Korean food is awesome. Don't bother with the sushi, but then again I say that about all of the sushi restaurants in Auburn. Stick with the Korean, their bulgogi is really good and so are their ramens. They also give you these Korean side dishes that are out of this world- if you like kim chee. read more

So I ordered the spicy fried chicken Togo. I ordered when they opened and picked it up 20 mins later. I had high hopes for this because I've had some good KFC back in Texas. I was a bit disappointed. It's wasn't spicy at all. It may be because my tolerance is pretty high, but I did expect a little kick. Sadly, just tasted like BBQ chicken to me. It was very crunchy which was a plus, but a little too much batter. And it tasted a bit burnt sometimes. The portion size is pretty big, but definitely overpriced for 21.99. I've gotten the same amount for half the price back in Texas. It did come with a cup of pickled radish. I know it's a Korean restaurant, but it'd be nice if they had some workers who spoke some english. It was kinda hard to order. It wasn't bad, but I may stick to what I know is really good next time like the Tofu soup or bibimbap. read more

Naruto Cafe - Spicy Korean fried chicken - Korean Near Me - Auburn, Alabama

Really tasty and authentic Korean food. Despite the fact that it is excellent, I don't find as many Korean restaurants in the south as the Americanized Chinese restaurants or the Japanese steakhouses. Nonetheless, these folks are really friendly and know how to cook the food (they also do Japanese and sushi- did not try). Bulgogi was really good. Slightly sweet sauce on sliced beef. They also serve six or seven traditional Korean vegetables/side dishes with the meal (really tiny sampler portions). The only reason I did not rate it 5 stars is that the price is on the high side ($9 to $24 for the entrees-- Bulgogi is $12 and so is Bibimbap). read more

Drove two hours to get here and it was so worth it! The food was fantastic and delicious! Service was nice! I loved it all! Will go back and will tell family and friends about this place. Definitely worth going in and checking out. read more

If I could give it no stars I would. They are always so rude to white customers. I went in around 2pm to get dumplings Togo because I don't even feel comfortable dinning in. I asked for extra dumpling sauce. The guy gave me the wrong sauce but I didn't notice until I got home. So I drive all the way back across town only to find them closed until 4pm. I called their number and explained to the lady who answered I had gotten the wrong sauce. I understand you are closed but it would be a simple and quick fix. She said no. They open at 4pm. So I'm supposed to now wait here another hour to get sauce? So I can reheat my dumplings later?! For everyone else, the dumplings without the sauce are worthless. So now I've wasted 10$ on a meal. And at least 5$ on gas coming back and no leaving empty handed. Not very professional at all. read more

Get. The. Korean. Fried. Chicken. It takes forever for them to make so the bulgogi and dumplings are good starters while you wait. But the KFC is magnificent. It comes out straight out of the fryer. It was so hot that my fingerprints felt like they had been burnt off. The sauce is sticky and sweet but spicy as well. The banchan helps to cool off the chicken. The chicken is moist with this thick coat of batter that is beyond crunchy. It's about $20 but the portion is so huge. I usually share with a friend and then have to box the other half and bring it home. read more

The tofu soup is nice. The rice cake appetizer is a lot of food. Comes with some noodles too. We can never finish. It's spicier the next day. The galbi is excellent. The cuts of meat can be a little inconsistent, but still finger licking good. The seafood pancake is good. Sometimes a little on the soggy and even undercooked side, but hell, we still order it almost every time. The pork belly BBQ is tasty, but not as good as the place out in Opelika. read more

Naurto is a pretty decent korean spot for a small town like auburn. The food is not amazing however, it is better than other korean places like green pig. They have a wide variety of food including sushi. As far as customer service, they are very friendly and willing to assist. One bad thing is that they need more waitresses. One waitress just doesnt cut it. read more

This place is terrible!!! When you walk in it smells like bad fish. We order sushi after sitting there for about 20 mins and he comes back with I'm not sure what it was but it was terrible. He didn't even come back to check on us I needed water like a long time ago but apparently you only get one drink while you're there. Like I want the lick an asswhole to get the taste out of my mouth. read more

This place is the non teppan version of Mikata. It's pretty good food. The prices are pretty reasonable. Do not get sushi here. Go to Fuji. Get the box lunch or bowls. The Korean tofu soups here are pretty awesome as well, and pretty reasonably priced. read more

This got my mom's approval & anyone who knows her knows she makes the best Korean food. She and her 2 Korean friends approved. I'll try it soon and review again. read more

Had lunch here today. I will never go back. I ordered Bim Bim Bap......there was one tiny piece of meat. The food had NO FLAVOR! Too many other good Korean options in Auburn . Don't go here. read more

The food was so good. We had bibimbap and bulgogi. Fabulous! The chicken appetizer was so good! I loved all the little extra dishes that they brought out for us as well. I could have stayed and ordered another dish but my friend had to go. I'll be back! read more

I was super excited to try their noodle soup, and I was really really disappointed. It's only got ONE shrimp, and I usually don't eat much, but that noodle didn't even fill me up and it costed me like $13 or something idr. But I'm never going back to that place. I've had better food with a better price. read more

Where do I begin? Definitely one of my top 5 restaurants period. Authentic and tasty cuisine. Staff is very friendly and great with boxing your order up if you're in a hurry. Haven't tried everything on the menu yet but I plan to! read more

This place is great with both Japanese and Korean food. I accidently posted a tip already but i had to stop by and post a review. It is that AMAZING. Try ramens, bulgogi, cheap box menus, stir fry pork, etc. pretty much every Korean menu is extraordinary. For Japanese food, try Kamikaze roll... Its great. Lastly, the atmosphere is always clean and servers are nice. They are nice to me and they also remember me. read more

Very disrespectful!!! I come in to place a to-go order. They are not busy.. I wait for 5 mins for someone to come out the back. That's fine no big deal. Then when the lady comes out she just stares at me. I ask for a menu and she rolls her eyes at me.... obviously she didn't want to work today.... I sat my menu down and left... VERY Disappointed!!! WILL NOT BE GOING BACK!! read more

wow.... My son noticed Naruto and we just had the eat here but we regretted every minute of it. After living in Japan for several years i just had to order the egg ramen; once it arrived to the table it was basically a 50¢ super market bowl of ramen. I've had better ramen at 7 elevens in Japan than this place. Other than the name Naruto, this place is about a 90% Korean restaurant. read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled across Naruto one day, and ended up going back once a week for the next two years! The chicken bowls are delicious, and the ginger salad you get with it is perfect too. It's like the ultimate Korean comfort food. Whether you want super authentic meals, or the Americanized versions, Naruto has got it. read more
