    I cannot emphasize how much I regret not getting here more. Such...good...food. Concise menu of Korean goodness. Bibimbap, dolsot (in the classic hit stone bowl!), pork katsu, dumplings...there are maybe ten dishes and every one is worth it! Good selection of teas as well that can be served hot or iced, plus a good variety of bubble tea as well (if you haven't had this delightful co concoction, just try it...tasty tea and chewy little tapioca boba, can't go wrong). Service (counter only, but they bring it to the table if you're dining in) is friendly and helpful, especially when it comes to tea choices (if you're like me, you may be able to use a little guidance on the Korean options). It's a very small space, so most of the orders seem to be to go, but there is also some patio space outside. So, not a spot for a big group...but just order to go and gather elsewhere if you have a large crew.

    Vegan ramyun, veggie mandoo, bibimbap with tofu, cucumber kimchi, best gochujang.

    Sarang is a lovely compact, family-owned Korean restaurant perched on the corner of Bardstown and Eastern Parkway. The menu is available both as a large, overhead display in picture form and in trifold fliers, depending on how one best prefers to make decisions. Order at the counter, then choose one of the tables at which to await the delights which will soon arrive. The staff is quite knowledgeable about the menu items, including which contain a variety of potential allergens/common foods people avoid. Of note - one of the kimchis is vegan (cucumber) and they do offer a vegan ramyun which you should definitely try. As they were pretty steady the night we dined they hadj run out of jap chae, so I opted for veganized bibimbap (yes tofu, no egg). The veggie and kim-mari mandoo are also vegan, however the soondobu jigae is made with oyster sauce, so keep that in mind if trying to stay plant based. Pricing is quite reasonable for the quality and the amount of food, and the owner is just delightful. Although I'm sad I didn't get to try the jap chae this time, it does give me an excellent reason to return.

    I was in town for work, and I felt like having Korean for dinner - after looking at a few possible options and their reviews, I picked Sarang! This is why I love Yelp- it makes it easy to decide where to eat in a new city! It was a weekend night but luckily I was able to find a parking spot at the lot behind the building. This is a sit down dining but more affordable, I believe it is because it is not full service and there are no small plates that come with food. It is okay for me, I was alone and wasn't too hungry I had japchae and it had a lot of meat and veggies. I loved it. Highly recommended for casual, fast but tasty dinner.

    Solid Korean food in the Highlands in an informal setting! We live down in Etown, and this place was high up on my list to try whenever we come up. We came for a quick dinner. The interior is tight and unassuming, which was no problem! We usually love these types of places. The menu looks pretty simple and straightforward, but there was a little bit of confusion on our end. I got the Dak Kangjung and my husband got the sweet beef bulgogi. I thought both of them were supposed to come with kimchi, but only the bulgogi did? I don't know. The staff was not super attentive on this, they seemed pretty indifferent. We didn't want to bug them about it, and they didn't look like they wanted to be bugged about it. The Dak Kangjung chicken was a generous portion, as it was big pile of chicken. It tasted alright, I wasn't in love with the sauce. The bulgogi was much better, much more subtly and thoughtfully flavored. The portion, however, was teeny tiny. It ended up more or less balancing out, and we kind of shared meals. Overall this was alright. I'd try it again, and maybe try some of the different menu items.

    Quality of foods was great but the price seemed too high overall and too frugal on side dishes. Korean restaurants are known for free unlimited side dishes but you get a tablespoonful amount of kimchi and additional kimchi is $.50. I've never seen $10 for a roll of vegetable kimbap.

    Bibimbap Beef Dol Sot
    Aaron B.

    Food was fast and quality was excellent. I witnessed the staff deftly handling a miscommunication when a woman brought up an issue with her bulgogi. She'd wanted something other than beef but her ordering style made it sound like she wanted beef + seafood. (Bulgogi is traditionally beef. Seafood is an odd request.) Their beef bibimbap dol sot was so good, it brought me back to the first time I'd ever had it. The cabbage kimchi had a perfect balance of spice and crunch. The restaurant was clean and you can tell they care about how the customers feel after visiting.

    I GIVE IT A 9/10 the boba was not that good but the food was so yall should go in get some

    Bibimbap (no egg, obviously) plus all three banchan
    Zain K.

    I'm giving this place a deserved upgrade from 3* to 5*. I'm not actually sure whether the restaurant has improved, or my perspective has changed since my last visit a few years ago, but I really enjoyed my beef bibimbap yesterday (along with all three panchan), and thought $11 was a fair price, especially in this inflationary environment. Next time I'll try the soondubu, which I believe to be a recent addition to the menu.

    The restaurant has very limited seating so opted for a to-go order. The cashier was very helpful and gave me suggestions for what I could order and I landed on the Bulgogi and fried rice. It wasn't my favorite bulgogi, but I did like it. Next time, I would probably try something different. Mango boba but how could you go wrong! Overall, good experience and worth a visit if you're looking for Korean food.

    Bubble tea!
    Courtney E.

    Please note: this is a 5/5 for the items I ordered and what I wanted, but not 5/5 for authenticity. I probably ordered the most Americanized items possible. Mango bubble tea.... YUM. With pomegranate popping boba. This was an amazing drink and I may have been willing to call it lunch by itself. We ordered small orders of the fried chicken bites (boneless) in the spicy sauce. Yes, it was fried and dripping in sauce and perfect for sticking white rice to. I cannot speak for the more authentic Korean items, but what I had hit the spot.

    Sarang is a great local Korean place on Bardstown Rd. They have parking in the back and the restaurant itself is pretty small. The service and food are amazing. My go-tos are the Beef Bulgogi, Bibimbap, and Korean fried chicken. They have very flavorful and fresh kimchi that comes with bulgogi and bibimbap. Staff is very friendly and I would highly recommend getting takeout- always fast and fresh.

    This restaurant is a must try! I loved the food and service. The portions are decent size and everything I tried tasted so good especially the bibimbap and kimchi. I will come back to area to eat here again. The owner is so friendly and their restaurant is cozy. Check it out if you haven't, you won't be disappointed!

    Bibimbap with beef
    Kyle E.

    Today's order was due to a craving for tteok-bokki (spicy stir-fried rice cake). I went down the rabbit hole of searching all nearby Korean Restaurants around me and rediscovered Sarang. It's been several years since I have been there, so I tried to find a website, menu and hours online. The only website they have is on Facebook, but there hasn't been a post since 2015 so I wasn't sure if it was still open. I called the number but there was no info on the answering machine, just a beep. So I waited until 11 am and tried to call again. The phone was answered promptly by a very friendly and nice employee. I was able to place an order to-go, and was told it would take 10-15 minutes. This restaurant is located next to Qdoba on Bardstown and Eastern Parkway. There is no parking on Eastern, so you can park on Bardstown Road or in the parking lot behind. When I arrived for pickup my order was sitting on a table near the door ready to go. I paid at the register and was able to pickup a menu, which is in the photos. A very quick and contactless process! I ordered the tteok-bokki (rice cakes), bibimbap with beef (assorted veggies on rice, topped with beef and fried egg) and Kimbap (wrapped bulgogi sushi roll with egg and veggies). Let's start with the tteok-bokki, which definitely hit the spot. It wasn't very spicy, which my husband prefers. It also had onions and fish cakes in it. The Kimbap was very good. The portion is large and came with ten large pieces. I would highly recommend. The bibimbap with beef was delicious once I added hot sauce and a little soy sauce. All in all it was very good! I would recommend. Looking forward to going back and ordering some items I'm not as familiar with.

I decided to try their Kyoto Matcha Brulee which is an iced milk tea and it tasted very delicious and not too terribly sweet. The vibe here is very chill with lots of places to sit and also makes for a really great place to bring friends and even a card game or two to play while enjoying a tasty drink. The pricing is pretty on par with what I'd expect of such place with drinks averaging around $6-8 dollars but you do get quite a lot for what you pay for. I definitely recommend checking out The Bep if you're a fan of any sort of tea or matcha as I feel you won't be disappointed.
