We've been during restaurant week and there was a long wait, and where you just walk right in and get seated. Every part of the experience is well managed. The hostess is absolutely adorable and so kind. She got screamed at my disgruntled customers (because they were asked to leave after the 2 hours slotted because there was a long wait) and she was so kind to them and just took it. She helps change the grates, and even placed an order for meat for us! The wait staff is also super kind and helpful. Offering recommendations if you don't know what to try, and being super responsive. Our drinks were never empty and the meat was always on our table! The quality of meat/seafood is very good. We've tried the marinated chicken (spicy and not), the beef and pork bulgogi, both were very good. We've had the brisket, the pork belly, the calamari (both spicy and not) and it was all so fresh and yummy. The denver steak was a hit and even the marinated shrimp are an amazing option! Everything comes out so fast and so your table will always be full! We have been to Kbbq in a lot of different places (both in ohio and out) and this place is the best out there. whether it's a date night, a family celebration, or just craving an amazing meal- this is your spot.

A plate of meat or vegetables are ordered (enough for the table ($77-$99 approximately per plate). The meat is marinated and ready to cook. Firstly, there was enough food for everyone to be more than satisfied. The grilled meat, placed in a lettuce leaf with rice or sauce was refreshing and delicious. Service was helpful, especially to navigate the complex menu. While the food was spectacular, the ambiance was dark and the floors were extremely sticky. This made a less than favorable first impression, however the meal made up for the environment. As stared, the menu was difficult to navigate. We will return when we visit Columbus in the future.

We decided to do the hot pot so we all have our own little pots to eat out of.

I will say that the prices are a little much, especially if you're not someone that eats a lot. And if you decide to take whatever food that you have even if it's just the broth home, you have to pay an extra $14 for it. There is no meal options for people who had gastric bypass or can't eat a lot of food at once. Other than that, it is really tasty and delicious many options even vegan ones!

Thank you for bringing me back home when I'd sit on the floor at my mother's third oldest brother's house... mom had eight brothers and sisters and the oldest was as old as her father could be... almost 20-30 years older, actually...she was pretty lonely with no close-in-age sibling around... It was my first visit to Korea and have not been back. But it brings me back. 해물 순두부찌개 (Spicy soft tofu stew with seafood Haemul sundubu-jjigae)...it has the dashi-approach around the fringe of its flavor profile... dimensions! This week was the week I was supposed to get married but my ex Fiance backed out of the whole proposition all together... before you ask. Yes. "Marriage" was actually his idea... me? Well. I just wanted a true fried for life--no binding obligations to the "for life" part... So here I am. Back home. Back to the beginning... I'm not waiting for Vizzini. But please... father I have failed you for 20 years, please I need you to to guide my sword and I cannot do it alone. It's the broth. Before anyone says "high prices for non premium ingredients"... I say hold on... it comes down to: labor and love. Korean cooking is not just ingredients alone. It is the salt. It is the hand kneading, flavor, and marrying of such (pun). There is more than a spirit in the cooking. More than just the soul. But emotion. Maybe Koreans feel this in our blood. Google the word "Han" and maybe you'll get just a drop of taste on the tongue to taste and see. This is a one woman show. Plus her kitchen staff or just one helper in the whole restaurant. Please come here ready to put patience to action and feel full and whole from doing so. Your good deed of the day. I would come here for comfort. Because I missed something I could not explain... or define... or I'd come here in time of overt failure. Auntie said hi to me. She asked if - I was Korean - saying I must be. We never were truly accepted. Even just visiting the first time in 22 years in Korea. If you don't see family for 22 years... I suppose ... you couldn't easily accept me either? Maybe she saw the Satori. Maybe she saw some Cheju. Maybe she saw some of Gramma. You know most people would turn away but you count on the hope that there will be that -one- who will read it, and stay. So yes, you.. dear one. I am so glad you heard about it... P.s. The Yuk-Gae Jiang has real bone broth. Like Cow knuckle, dude. It solidifies into one pure block of collagen when you fridge the takeout into the next day. ::mic drop::

Dining the authentic Korean, Japanese, and Korean-Chinese dish is not always easy to find in large…read morecities with great cuisine selections and presentations. The Korean food is measured by "Ban-chan," the side dishes that come with the main menus. To prepare such side dishes is not easy. But, to prepare with original tastes only found in side streets of Korea, it takes years of cooking skills and holistic use of fresh varieties of vegetables with traditional touch of flavors. So, to find the restaurant Silla, tucked in the alley of shopping center near Marc's by Henderson and Reed road, does brings nostalgia as you walk toward the entrance. The service is important part of our culture. The lady who serves is so kind with a genuine smile. Even when she is serving so many customers, she manages to bring smile to those who she serves. Her kindness rubs off onto her customers - at first I was not used to her being so kind - but she has a way for opening up her sincerity. My wife and I am now a regular customer at Silla. Sometimes my food may come out late, but I come to enjoy the energy and vibe by many young college students, and savor the food as it is prepared the way it should be. As a Korean American, I am so thankful to have Silla in the heart of Columbus.

The experience is very authentic with the meat options being plentiful. I do wish that the menu had a little bit more flexibility, since it seems like the options for two people are much different from the options for four people. We came for a friend's birthday and we were a party of three and we ordered the most expensive option. It was way too much food and could easily feed 4 to 6 people depending on how hungry you are, and the quality of the meat was excellent. Everything was displayed beautifully and it had so many options of meats and veggies. It is definitely (obviously) better quality than the AYCE options in the area. I will say that it was expensive though. That may be our fault because we were splitting it for three people, and if we split it for 4-5 people, that would have been less expensive but was still a bit more expensive than what I would want to pay for a Korean barbecue in Columbus, Ohio, but you do pay for the quality and the service so I'd definitely be back for a special occasion. I also really want to try out their karaoke room!
