    Stopped in to grab something for lunch since I was in the area, and I love Korean food so coming here was a good choice to me. I decided to just grab a dessert since I couldn't decide what I wanted to order so I went with a dessert instead. I ordered the Hoi Hoi pancakes since I love pancakes and sweets! But I was disappointed with my order. The hoi hoi pancakes were really doughy and dense and I hardly tasted any flavor from the filling, the most flavorful thing from my order was the strawberry preserves. The inside of the location was nice and they offered a spacious parking lot.

    Strawberry soju
    Kayla P.

    This place is FANTASTIC! Stopped by for the first time today and we were taken great care of by our server Megan. She was quick to answer any questions, offered great suggestions, and just had a very great attitude. The atmosphere was nice, offering inside & outside seating. The best part though, THE FOOD! We couldn't decide what to try so we started with a delish strawberry soju. Perfect. For appetizers we ordered the spicy crab Rangoons, tofu + kimchi, & tteok fries. The spicy crab Rangoons were the BEST Rangoons I have ever had, and I have had an embarrassing amount - ( I truly debated getting more of those instead of an entree LOL). The tofu fries + kimchi offered such a flavorful combination that we had to stop ourselves from eating it all so we could enjoy some at home, too. Lastly, the tteok fries had such a delicious spicy strawberry sauce and unexpectedly blew me away. That sauce would be so good on anything I think! Next up, even though we could've totally called it a day at the apps, we ordered entrees because of how great everything had been so far. My partner got the spicy ramyun with added chicken and thought it had a really good flavor. Served steaming hot, it was great. For myself I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi and could not say enough good things about it- the meat was perfectly tender, the rice warm and delicious, and the sauce..... incredible. We packed so much of it up to take with us and I cannot wait to dig in again. Worth noting - the prices are wonderful. Very fairly priced, an overall 10/10 restaurant. Could easily become a go to.

    Bimibap for the Win!

    The broth is top notch! We ALWAYS get extra. We consistently get the ramyn & bibimbap. Most recently we re introduced this to our kid..minus the veggies and she is a BIG fan. This is a must for us when one of us is under the weather!

    The place is small and is always packed but it's bc it's good. Ive enjoyed the multiple meals I've had there. Here are photos of the last one. Definitely recommend this spot.

    Really enjoyed this place! The food was super flavorful and they had a lot of vegetarian options, loved the veggie mandus especially. Was very surprised they had a yummy Korean spot in Edwardsville!

    Mushroom Udon Noodles
    Kendra W.

    Delicious food which came out quickly and piping hot! Several good vegan options which is what brought us in. I very much enjoyed my mushroom bulgogi. Our server was delightful also and checked on us several times. Not a ton of seating inside, maybe around twelve tables or so, but it also looked as if they were taking to-go orders and Door Dash etc. Will definitely be back.

    Chicken Katsu
    Chris G.

    Oriental Spoon always delivers a great meal. My family and I have been eating here for years and we always leave with a smile on our face. Huge portions, delicious entrees and appetizers. I highly recommend the Kimchi Bap, Ramen, and they have the best ramen in town. Today I tried the Chicken Katsu and it was sooo delicious. If you haven't tried it before, it's a must when eating in Edwardsville.

    Chicken Bulgogi Noodle
    Anna P.

    I used to pop over for lunch often when I worked at Borders (RIP), but hadn't been in many years. Recently went again with friends and their menu has grown! All the food is amazing. I've been a shocking number of times in the past few months + even introduced another friend to OS through DoorDash. Staff is friendly, the space is always clean, and the food is incredible. Favorites: spicy bulgogi noodle (tofu or pork), BAPs, veggie mandu

    Chicken noodle
    Jeffrey S.

    Our server, Jillian, was amazing guiding us through the exciting menu choices. We started with the tofu fries and kimchi (a must try) and tteokbokki stick with spicy strawberry sauce (also stellar). Next were the main dishes, chicken bulgogi with rice, beef bulgogi soup and both chicken noodle and vegetable noodle soups. Everything had it complex and delicious flavors making this a must return for legit Korean in Edwardsville.

    Good food. A little expensive for what you get, but not unreasonable. Would go back.

    This was very tasty. We ordered to go , and it is located inside of a poke doke. I had jajangmyeon…read moreand it was so tasty . Our food came nicely packed and separated. I would order agian from here

    This place is a great place to order from for Korean food that none of the other Korean restaurants…read morehave on their menu currently in St. Louis. My boyfriend ordered Ja jiang Mein, jjamppong seafood and sweet and sour beef. They made their noodle in house. The food taste really fresh and delicious especially the noodle. They also provide a small cup of Kim chi. The jiang mein taste exactly as how I had it at a Korean place in Chicago. I am so happy that they also have it here in St. Louis now. The jiamppong seafood soup taste good, they provided you noodle with it but can also be eaten with rice. They did load this soup with with the seafood which is amazing. This place is located in central west end. It shared the same place as poke doke. One thing that is inconvenient is that this place does not have a phone for you to call and order. This place you cannot sit and eat. You have to order through a delivery app, my boyfriend ordered through ubereat. You can order for delivery or for pick up. Parking in central west end can be a nightmare at busy time. This place also have limited hours from what I read Tuesday to Friday only and from 1130 to 7 pm. Hopefully if it become more popular their hours may be extended. Fingercrossed :)
