    Tasty, well prepared kimbap and bibimbap. Prompt, friendly and inviting service. Small hole in the wall in the best way. Like stepping in to a favorite relative's home. I will look forward to trying the entire menu.

    I'd say a true 4.5 out of 5. Probably the best Korean food I've come across thus far in the state of Colorado! We showed up right at close so the proprietor asked us to place our order quickly which I understand. Ban Chan was excellent you could taste the freshness and the flavors blended very nicely with the stone pot bimbinbap and beef plate. Prices were reasonable and I liked how the dishes were made to order. Excited to go back hope they add mackerel to their menu. They also do catering.

    Authentic and delicious! The bibimbap and beef tofu soup hit the spot. Super friendly workers! It's a small space, but the food makes up for it -- feels like a hidden gem. Will be back for sure!

    Kimchi  soft tofu soup

    This place is what I love about a restaurant: a hole in the wall with the best food. Woo-Ri was one of the top places I wanted to try, and when the opportunity arose, I went. Let me start by saying, that it is hard to find since most of the signs are in other languages, but the lot they are in is small, and easy to walk around to find it. When my friend and I arrived it was already nearly full at noon, but we were able to snag a table. Our server gave us tea as we sat and waited for our food. The menu is simple which is great. I ordered the kimchi soft tofu stew. The stew came with purple rice and banchan (kimchi, cucumber, radish, and potato). The stew had such great flavor and had so much tofu in the dish. I got the medium level of spice, but next time I'm getting it spicier! The meal was super filling and luckily I had leftovers for later that day. The banchan you can tell were made fresh. This is a great place to go if you are looking for a warm cozy meal on a snowy day, or if you get done shopping at the H-mart across the street.

    great, authentic Korean food for a good price. everything tasted amazing and it was definitely a hole in the wall spot. be wary since the restaurant is very, very small with only around 6 tables. so large parties are probably not recommended. however, the worker are very nice and know what you will like to order. definitely try here once if youre in Aurora, but try to come more at an off time.

    An amazing gem! If you can go there during the limited hours, you're going to love this place! You are greeted by the one staff member (I assume his wife) and then you sit down to have some of the best Korean food ever. This is one of the most "hole-in-the-wall" experiences I've ever had and I'm extremely happy this exists within such a short drive of city center.

    Beef over rice
    Erica G.

    Came here with the family after a weekend in the mountains. Woo Ri is a very small restaurant, not fancy at all, but the food was very good. The menu is small but I didn't mind that at all. I had the Beef over Rice dish and it hit the spot! Well-seasoned with just a little bit of spice. I wish there was a option for a half serving since there was alot of food (too much) and the food was pretty pricey.

    The food is amazing! Piping hot, well seasoned, and not to mention the portion is huge. The service is great as well, the staff is very friendly and warm. Overall the place is small but it feels very cozy, you certainly get your moneys worth. 너무 맛이다! Will be back.

    Food is so delicious hear. The tofu soup is top notch, best I've ever had. Side dishes are flavorful, really liked the cucumbers. There isn't a lot of seating inside so expect to have to wait to get seated if you go around mealtimes. Plenty of parking as it's located in a strip mall.

    Soft tofu soup, rice, and side dishes
    Jessica J.

    This is the first small and intimate korean restaurant i have been to in a while! this shit is legit and so yummy. Banchan means side dishes, which this place makes SO WELL. They give you some and they also sell their own. Pictured above is said banchan with purple rice and their soft tofu soup. As much as i love tofu house, this place gives you SO much more soft tofu haha. They literally only had about 6 tables and i love it. while i was there, several people came through asking for their kimbap, which they had run out of. That makes me think they're known for it and it's something i want to try now. ⁣Definitely try this place out if you're trying to eat some authentic Korean food. ⁣

    Beef Bone Soup and Dolsot Bibimbap
    Sara C.

    This place sells yummy Korean side dishes and gimbap.... But never tried the food here until yesterday. Seems like everyone's food of choice is the stone bowl bibimbap for lunch so we did that and the beef bone soup. Both are super delicious and I love their purple rice mixed with regular rice.... (See those on Kdrama a lot). The soup comes unsalted and they give you salt to flavor it on your own which I love. They are known for side dishes so of course the kimchi was super yummy and fresh. I got some gimbap to go and side dishes but I'd highly recommend coming in to get a hot bowl of soup/rice. Support local small business. :)

We got the classic soondae soup with bone broth and spicy soondae soup, both without intestines. The soondae was very chewy and the classic broth was on the lighter side. I added some pepper and spicy chili paste for added flavor. It tasted great with the kimchi and pickled radishes. The spicy broth definitely had a kick to it and had lots of pepper flakes inside. They ddukbokki took awhile to come out but once we got it, we enjoyed how it tasted like classic spicy rice cake with fish cake in it. It only had half of a boiled egg, but it was still good paired with the spicy and sweet sauce. They had lots of seating indoors. Definitely will be coming back to try more items.

At least for lunch combo, the thoughtful assortment of main dish and side dishes as well as soup of the day are very satisfactory. Their food is little bit more on a savory side compared to other Korean restaurants who use too many spices. Before I met Baekga, i was pretty disappointed in local franchises of Korean eateries in Colorado, but Baekga not only they have very calm and toned down atmosphere for pleasant meals, it is the venue I would actually bring my visitors to. The location is little far for me to explore their dinner menus but I would love to when I am nearby next time. Champagne kimchi was inspiring. I never had any kind of Kimchi taste like this. I really praise for the creativity. It would be a good pair with a variety of food such as charcuterie board, katsu, sausage dish, barbecue, and simple with wine! I personally liked Dakgangjeong, Beef radish soup (soup of the day), and champagne kimchi from my visit. Frankly, this venue maybe a polarizing Korean restaurant especially for Korean natives, but I personally think this venue deserves more recognition compared to other local Korean franchise in Denver/Aurora who just serve the food items but not the sincerity and/or creativity.

I'm glad we came and discovered another restaurant we can add to our list. It's def a more modern Korean restaurant from the interior alone. But food was delicious. I was interested in a lot of items on the menu u so it was hard to choose from. The dakgalbi lunch special was an actual full on lunch with sides and soup. The galbi tang was pretty good. The meat is some of the best I've had in CO. It was very tender and fell off the bone very easily. The La galbi was so good and flavorful. When it's mixed with the onions and veggies and rice, everything tastes really good combined. I would skip on the pancakes because they were a little burnt. We saw a different one come out and it was also burnt. Otherwise, eat around because it's quite flavorful.

The experience here is exactly what I want from Korean BBQ: lively, satisfying, and easy to settle into for a while. The cheese corn is an absolute must and easily one of the best sides on the table. The steamed egg was fluffy and comforting, and the meats were the real highlight. The pork belly was rich and well cut, the bulgogi was flavorful, and the short ribs were tender and cooked beautifully.

The quality of the meat is good, the portions were big enough for the two of us, but definitely would not be enough if there were more in our party. This isn't an AYCE place like many other Korean BBQ restaurants, so expect to pay per meat selection. The prices are comparable to other non-AYCE restaurants in Aurora though. Total for the two of us: about $200, which included the tip. We dined on a weeknight so there wasn't a wait but I assume there is one on the weekends since the restaurant is fairly small. The service was fast and friendly and they checked on us often. Brush up on your parallel parking since only street parking is available.

However, I was very pleasantly surprised at the ambiance, the food, the drinks, and the warmth of the owner! We walked in Thursday night at 11pm. It was one of the only Asian restaurants in the area still open after our flight landed. As expected, the customers were sparse save for 2-3 tables of diners. The interior was immediately green flags - l loved the decor and wood tones. It felt like I was in Korea! The menu is your typical pocha fare - soups, Korean pancakes, army stew, KBBQ meats. We ordered the jalapeño soy chicken wings, volcano pork, and the kimchi fried rice. My favorite was the chicken wings, really crunchy with good flavor and the wings were decently sized. The volcano pork came over a fire burner and cooked at our table. It was definitely pretty spicy but paired really well with the kimchi fried rice, which I thought could be spicier. The pork quality was ok but I really liked the flavors and the bean sprouts in the pot. I particularly love that K Pocha has zero sugar soju on the menu no sugar = no hangovers!) I always drink the brand with the fox on it and squeeze a bit of lemon into the shot. We were served by the owner and the service was efficient. He didn't seem to speak the best English so we had to have one of our friends translate when we asked questions, but he was really nice and welcoming. K Pocha seems to be pretty new, so I will hopefully be back soon to support his business! I definitely want to try the army stew and the tofu soups.

    Amazing experience! Best kbbq I've had yet in Denver metro area…read more We splurged tonight as the kbbq can be expensive but it was so worth it. The restaurant is divided into two sides, hotpot and kbbq. It was packed on a Saturday night so we were sat upstairs. The service was good but not phenomenal, there's a language barrier of course and also there's a ton of people there so they are spread thin. They even have a button on the wall to call your server over and make things easy. The place is clean and well-decorated We ordered the seafood pancake appetizer and 2 different meats for the grill - the bulgogi and chadol. Both were so good, the chadol was my favorite. The Banchan sides came out first - at least 10 of them, it was amazing, and endless! Sadly they ran out of the sweet potato when i tried to order more. The meats and banchan came out first before the appetizer unfortunately so we ended up taking most of the pancake home. But the meat was so delicious we almost didn't care. Can't wait to come back!

Unfortunately, the experience was mixed--and ultimately disappointing. Before the meal, I stopped by the restroom to wash my hands. Both soap dispensers were empty or not working. I notified the bathroom attendant, assuming it would be quickly addressed. At the time, I brushed it off as a minor oversight. One of the highlights of Korean BBQ is always the variety of vegetable side dishes, and this visit did not disappoint in that regard. The assortment of banchan was plentiful--definitely the best part of the meal and something I always look forward to. However, the main dish fell short. I ordered the Kalbi Tang, which was quite disappointing. The beef ribs were clearly undercooked; the meat was tough, bristly, and difficult to chew. Instead of the tender, slow-cooked texture you expect from this dish. After the meal, I returned to the restroom--and to my surprise, the soap dispensers were still not working. This was no longer a small issue. It raised a serious concern: if customers didn't have access to soap, it's very possible that employees didn't either. The thought that staff might be handling food without properly washing their hands is unsettling and frankly unacceptable. I once heard a food inspector say that if you want to judge a restaurant, check the bathroom first. If they don't care about maintaining a basic level of cleanliness, it often reflects what's happening behind the scenes. Unfortunately, this experience reinforced that idea. While the side dishes were enjoyable, the combination of poor entree quality and concerning hygiene issues makes it hard to recommend returning anytime soon.
