Small local mom&pop vibe Korean bbq restaurants. The best Korean cold noodle restaurants in Denver. We love their nengmyun the best. Strongly recommend weekday lunch special which comes with nengmyun + either big mandu(dumplings) or LA galbee. We also got me-un-tang spicy seafood soup (asked for mild). Pretty good and wide variety of banchan. Also tried 감자탕 pork backbone stew, 오징어 볶음 squid dish, kimchi pancake 김치전. Food and service was okay. read more

To broaden our tastebuds, we decided to try Silla after learning they also have galbi tang. I can't believe it took us this long to discover it but 5/5. The menu is quite extensive but also not overwhelming. There were so many yummy options. Ultimately, we decided to go with the King Galbi Tang, the chives pancake, and the steamed egg. The galbi tang was so good. It came with 3 large rib pieces. The meat just falls off the bone. I do like that it wasn't filled with noodles. The broth tasted clean and filling. The pancake was also really tasty. It tasted good even without the sauce. The egg was a nice appetizer to start with rice and the banchan. The banchan was also super tasty. I was surprised by the potato side. We will need to come back to try the bossam and jokbal and the bbq galbi as well. So so good. Silla is another favorite of ours added to our rotation. read more

Oh my goodness. This has to be the best Korean BBQ experience I've ever had. The staff is very attentive. They're always available if you need anything and they take care of you during your entire meal. We ordered Combo C for four people and it could've easily fed 5 or 6. It came with a bottle of soju to share and that added an extra touch for a fun lunch. Ban Chan was very unique. Delicious and crunchy fresh kimchis, pickled veggies, and even seasoned sea weed. Our table was so full and our server offered to cook half of our items in the kitchen to be served promptly instead of waiting to cook everything at the table. That elevated the experience even more. It was on the higher price side, but I expected it given the quality and quantity of all of the dishes. I'm going to miss this place. read more

Silla Restaurant - Ban Chan - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This is not my korean bbq go to place. But, this is where I go for my mul nangmyeon and galbi cravings (bimonlthy). It doesn't matter if its cold outside, just pair it with their delicious tea. This restaurant is across the street from my work and my friends and I will help each other finish the morning workload to get to Silla with enough time to enjoy lunch. Their hot stone bulgoggi is good too specially with their kimchi. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: their kimchi is the best kimchi I have tried out here. The waitstaff, though very minimal, is always so attentive. I have never been late coming back from work. I love this spot. read more

Weekend lunch, late weekend lunch it is. Lot of people ask me where is the best Korean restaurant and I would say... Silla. Yes there are lots of KBBQ around the town but if you still looking for authentic Korean food, Silla is legit. Yes, they do very good KBBQ if you are into it. Today's visit, ended up getting the mixed cold noodle (bibi naenmyeon) and seafood soon tofu to share. For the bibinaegmyeon, there are only few Korean restaurants in Aurora who can make this and Silla consistently delivers delicious naengmyeon. For the tofu soup, it is deferent than Tofu house that I frequent alot. Bigger size for sure. I didn't have a room in my stomach to order galbi but if you are hungry, this place does it right. For one person, they will grill for you at the kitchen. Its meaty, full of flavor and comes with lettuce as part of the order. Since the new owner took over, ambiance has improved in a good way. Clean and inviting with bits of modern twist? read more

Went for lunch at Silla in a rainy early Tuesday afternoon. The restaurant was out of my favorite Soon Dae Gook, so ordered Gomtang (beef stock soup) instead. The appetizers were a bit different from before, but still quite tasty. The milky gamtang was rich and unami without many added ingredients. Did not add additional salt or pepper, so could better taste its savory depth. Quite a hearty and satisfying lunch in an otherwise cold and gloomy day. read more

Came here to get the Bossam a few months ago but haven't had the chance to write a review! It was super good and the pork was so tender. I love eating it with the garlic and jalapeno slices and it was a perfect blend of spicy and svaory. They have a large menu of popular Korean dishes that I definitely need to come back and try. I also really enjoyed the assortment of kimchi! It's a cute little spot and the three female servers who were helping us were so sweet and even offered us a free kimchi pancake which was also really good! read more

Silla Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I keep coming back here whenever I'm craving Korean food in general. Food: They are good at dishes across categories - naengmyeon, soondobu, hangover soup, BBQ, bibimbap, etc. It doesn't matter what we've ordered so far, it's been satisfying. Love their side dishes - they change it up so it's never boring. Vibe: Casual. Great for big or small groups. I would also be comfortable dining here alone. Service: Fast to average. Never had to wait too long for food even when they're busy. The staff in my experiences here have either been reserved, nice and polite or very friendly, polite staff, depending on who's working. Just like in some parts of Asia, I like how there's a service button at the table for when you want to order more or get the check. Price: $$. Reasonable for the location and what you get. read more

We haven't visited this restaurant since the pre-pandemic days so our time in this restaurant today felt special and nostalgic! We loved everything that we ordered today! The Galbi was tender and nicely marinated too! The Gom Tang was perfect for a chilly day and super flavorful! Seafood pancake was so crispy and tasted so authentic! My favorite part of the meal was the Banchan side dishes! The staff were so friendly and attentive too. I love when waitstaff notices that you need water filled or that you need more napkins without you asking them! We will eat here more often. The soups will be so comforting during the winter months:) read more

Finally came and tried for lunch after recommendations for authentic Korean. The place was full for a holiday weekend during lunch which wasn't surprising. I like having the option of trying more specialties that I can't get else where and this did the trick. If you like your ham hocks and pork belly this is it. I enjoyed the banchan as well as it tasted homemade vs bottled commercial stuff. They had some private rooms too which worked well for our party of 15. read more

Had a great time at Silla for KBBQ. Arrived on a Saturday night to no wait. Place is decent sized with booths set up to BBQ your own meat. We got the special 3 that fed 3-4 along with some Mandu and beer. Meats were all delicious and well marinated. Sides were also plentiful with lots of options. We were very well fed with the amount! They have a button you can press when you need assistance and when you'd like to pay. Overall great KBBQ place, I'd return again. read more

Silla Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Not very welcoming to non-Korean speakers - one of the servers who seemed like an owner was not very pleasant. Seemed out off to have to serve us. The male server was much nicer. Not attentive service. We had to track them down for more water and to check out. Their banchan was pretty good. Kimchi and mac noodles in the mix. He decided on the cold noodles and me seafood stew. The food was okay. I think I prefer our usual place as their service is friendlier. Shared parking lot. read more

I have been craving Bossam for so long but I have NEVER ate it. I looked everywhere and Silla is the only restaurant I saw that serves it! This was my fiancé and I's first time at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. We walked in and we were greeted right away. Mind you, it was lunch time during a weekday and it wasn't as busy so we were seated right away! Our waitress was super kind! Every seating does have a cooking stove. It gives off really homey and small business feels indoor. We only ordered the reg Bossam and it was enough to feed 2 people. We really enjoyed it because it came with sides + lettuce!! Not having Bossam before, it wasn't bad for my first time!! Some of the pork was a little bit dryer (the meat part) but for the most part it was good and had a hint of flavor. It comes with a side of fermented cabbage. It def had a taste to it which I didn't mind but my fiancé did not enjoy it. Otherwise, we enjoyed adding all sorts of sides with our Bossam! By the end, we were stuffed and happy with our choice! Def will come again :) read more

I've been coming to this particular Korean restaurant since I was a little girl. I want to say it's one of the original Korean restaurant in Colorado. We recent visited to eat their cold buckwheat noodles soup (nengmyun). Which is perfect for really how days. I love their lunch menu just for that. You can order it with a side of kalbi (Korean short ribs) or dumplings. The portion size is a little on the smaller side. My tweens were still hungry after their lunch meal but for less than $20 it was well worth the drive. The service was on the slower end, it always have. We didn't expect any difference. Don't expect to order and eat, and pay within 30 mins. They remodels this place years back to make it more modern, it's not all about the vibe but their food. If you're ever in the Aurora area looking for authentic Korean food that's not hyped up on social media, check this place out! read more

Really pleased. When I walked in, I was surprised at how much it reminded me of walking into a restaurant in Korea (I am not Korea but have spent about 5 weeks in Korea, so I'm not an expert on what is authentic, but it was really nice vibes). The owner was really nice. We ordered the full size kim chi pancake to share, and I got naeng myun (cold noodle soup) and then pork and dumpling tofu stew to take home for dinner. My friends got spicy seafood tofu stew and fish bibimbap. All the food was delicious. The kim chi pancake I wished had a little more kim chi, but it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside in a really delicious way. The naeng myun was good and gigantic ... after eating as much as I could, I had so much leftover the take out container overflowed, and I gave a serving to my neighbor and still have 1-2 servings left! The tofu stew was really good too, and my friends both enjoyed their dishes. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Will keep coming back. I really enjoyed the pork belly and all the Bonchons. The beef stew was a solid option for a cold day read more

I realize businesses need to raise prices due to inflation and the current state of the economy. However, I find it absurd for a business to increase a food item by 47% in just 2 weeks. Many people including myself, frequent Silla for their popular lunch set of naengmyun + galbi, which was $18 in mid-Dec 2024 but by Jan 2025, the price jumped to $28. I understand that price increases are necessary, and I've noticed many other restaurants adjusting their prices as well (which is normal and expected). However, Silla is the ONLY restaurant I've come across that raised its price by such a significant percentage in such a short time. I'm not sure what their other food items are like but I couldn't help notice this change. While they explained that the naengmyun is now a larger portion (which is true) and due to higher meat costs, the galbi portion was actually slightly smaller. Imo which still doesn't justify the increase. As for their mandu lunch set, not sure when this change happened, but it is no longer their handmade giant kimchi mandu. It came with 4 kimchi mandus that tasted and looked exactly like the frozen Pulmone ones I get from hmart. Super disappointing. I have family members and friends that are restaurant owners (even those that own a kbbq restaurant) and they all find it mind boggling that a restaurant was able to increase it by this much and so quickly too. Many of them mentioned around a 5% increase is expected annually but find 50% unusual. For context, a lunch set of naengmyun and galbi for two people now costs around $75, including tax and a 20% tip. Thought this was worth noting!! read more

Great meal for a rainy day. We tried the pork neck soup (very flavorful, a bit spicy for my taste w mustard seeds, but probably should have just ordered a milder soup). For the bbq, really loved the flavor of their galbi. Cholon was good also but pieces were a bit thick. Overall would come again to try the other soups since that seems to be their specialty read more

Great food. I like their kimchi pancakes and the service is friendly. I also like their bulgogi.

The food here, 5/5 stars. Their Korean bbq is so good but their noodle soups. Now that's something special! The ambiance is great for families or for a date night. I would highly recommend the seafood noodle soup dish. It's always a struggle between that dish and the kimchi stew or their army stew. read more

I've been here twice now and have enjoyed my visit each time. The staff is friendly, it's clean and the food hits the spot! I was craving spicy cold noodles because of how warm it's been recently and the icy cold broth was so refreshing. I wish there was more meat in my soup but that's my only complaint! One day I'll spend some more money and get the bbq, bossam and pork neck soup :) read more

Silla Restaurant - 94. Bibim NengMyun Spicy Cold Noodle 71. Nakji Bokum Spicy Sauteed Baby Octopus - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Amazing food, especially given the fact that I'm from LA and was visiting Denver, found this great spot in Aurora.

This is an old school Korean spot in Aurora. I remember eating here literally decades ago, and when I asked the man at the front counter how long they'd been around, he just said "something like 40 years?" Very chill spot. Appeared really clean and neat. Waitress was super fast. Got the bulgogi cooked in the kitchen (you can cook at the table if you'd like) and my gf got the bibimbap. Sides were great and plentiful, and they offered us more once we finished them. (Should have taken them up on that for leftovers!) Both dishes were fantastic, and we got a side of potstickers that were really nice and tasty and crispy on the outside. Really enjoyable meal. Was efficient, but I feel that we could have lingered more if we had a bigger group with us. Will definitely not be waiting another couple of decades to go back! read more

Incredible. We got galbi tang, which tasted like unctuous bone marrow, and a very nutritious and veggie-packed mushroom soondubu. They were both so delicious and heart-warming. Genuinely some of the best I've had. We can't wait to have it again. read more

One of the many Korean restaurants in Aurora. I was there for lunch on a Saturday and it was relatively busy. The server explained to me if I needed attention I should push the button glued to the wall. I did that when I wanted to place my order and when I was ready to pay. No one came to the table both times and I had to flag down one of the servers. As for the food, I had the beef bibimbap which had lots of veggies, lettuce, carrot, soy bean sprout, cucumber and an raw egg all came in a sizzling hot stone bowl, plus five side dishes. The veggies and the side dishes were nice, but overall the bibimbap was bland, needed a lot of the red sauce that came in a squeeze bottle. read more

Silla Restaurant - Beef bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Service is friendly and attentive. Food was average to less than average :( Side dishes were good. Dolsot bibimbap with Bulgogi (mixed rice in hot pot with beef). The rice was so soggy it ruined the whole thing and it had so little bulgogi in it. We also got a soondubu jjigae (soft tofu soup) and it was also just okay. They have a good selection so it might be worth it to try something else, but the two dishes we got were meh. read more

Don't read the low reviews as most are pretty outdated. Silla has easily become one of my favorite Korean restaurants in colorado. It's affordable, HUGE portions, great food, and the service has been solid every time I've went. One thing to note is that the kitchen does close 30 min prior to closing so at 8:30pm. Ive seen them turn people down who come in after this time. read more

When I think of korean food, that cold noodle was always on my mind as a craving food. I'm usually critical toward korean food but I have only have few things to say about this place. Price: some people think it might be pricey but I think it is good price for the size of the portion. Cold noodle called 'nengmyun' was so good. Kimchi dumpling in appetizer wasn't really my type. And don't get me wrong. I love dumplings. It's my favorite type of dishes from any Asian restaurants but here.....I'm just not quite sure. Service was nice. They are very helpful and always make sure if I need anything even before I request. Yes. They have a push bell thing that you can only find it in korean restaurant. But I didn't even have to push the button. Then why would I only give 4 star than 5 star? Because of dumpling - I love dumpling, okay? It's my review and it is just as subjective as it can be haha But I highly recommend the nengmyun (I actually don't know how to spell this one but got it from other reviewer). read more

I've been to this restaurant since I was a child. This place holds a lot of nostalgia for me. Their dishes are authentic and you can tell the food is handled with such care. From soups to the bbq meats, Silla offers a wide variety of food to offer. My top favorites are their dolsot (hot stone) bibimbap and their Galbi (short rib). The reason I like this restaurant more than all the others in the area is because the flavor profile for the meat is spot on. The marinade isn't too sweet and the meat is always super tender. also if you don't feel like cooking your own meat, you can ask the cooks to grill the meat for you. You also have the option to grill the meat yourself. I prefer to cook it myself so I can have it to the temperature of my choosing, but the chefs do a very good job grilling it to your preference as well. read more

Thank goodness I found another Korean Restaurant as the other one I went to before closed down. I ordered a Bibimbap in the clay bowl which I love because the bottom of the rice gets all crunchy. YUM! Also I love the egg on top with all of the veggies. They bring out many sides for the table to share which is an addition to your entree so slow your roll on appetizers. The Bulgogi is great too. I ordered that to go and it's plenty for two meals. Go here is you like Korean food you will not be disappointed. read more

The tofu soup was wonderful - full of silky soft tofu, meat and vegetables. I could envision eating that on a cold snowy day and be instantly warmed. All of the banchan side dishes were yummy.
