The Most Scrumptious Korean in Aurora

Seoul Korean BBQ & Hot Pot

★★★★☆ 3.9 (1118) • $$

"This is my favorite K-BBQ restaurant in Colorado. The service is always on point. The food is delicious. I tend to choose the Bulgogi and the thin sliced pork. When I ask for extra fish cakes I always get a plentiful amount. I absolutely love this restaurant. It is conveniently located. the restaurant is warm and welcoming. It is always clean and the food comes quickly. My favorite part about this restaurant are the conversations I have had with friends and family over the years, 13 to be exact. The Kimchi is so delicious and I really like all of the other small plates. There really is nothing else about this restaurant I can say besides I have yet to try the Hot Pot side. One of these days until then I will continue to eat the BBQ."

Angry Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.9 (466) • $$

"Angry Chicken's got a little kick. This is a nice little spot for those who love crispy, flavorful fried chicken with a Korean twist. The casual, laid-back vibe of the restaurant makes it a perfect destination for a quick meal then get up and go or relax while enjoying some seriously good food.I ordered their signature Angry Chicken wings with the spicy sauce, along with a side of fries. The wings were incredible--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with bold flavors. The spicy sauce had just the right amount of heat, balanced with a slightly sweet tang. The fries were golden and crispy.The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable, especially given the quality of the food. The staff was friendly and quick. They offer a variety of sauces and flavors, so there's something for everyone, whether you like it mild or really spicy."

Bonchon

★★★★☆ 3.8 (414) • $$

"We were shopping and still had to drive somewhere else so we decided on lunch first. We enjoyed our first Bonchon experience in Aurora so we came in here. The server was pretty and nice. She let us decide on our order. Unfortunately they were out of boneless chicken so we went with chicken tenders. There was wing in our order and I did like it. He doesn't like bone in or I would have ordered that. Half and half. Chose pickled radish as the side. It helped balance the spice level out. Parking is on the street or in the lots across the way."

Bop & Gogi Korean Kitchen and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (349) • $$

Seoul ManDoo

★★★★★ 4.8 (223) • $$

"Heard this place had some good dumplings so I had to try it. I got the kimchi fried dumplings and the meat baos. The fried kimchi dumpling was a hit! very crispy and tasty with the dipping sauce. I didn't care too much for the meat baos, it was a bit tasteless. Enjoyed the side of radish too. Resturant is small with limited tables. I did order to go."

Mono Mono Korean Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.2 (273) • $$

"Great food with mediocre service but don't let that stop you from ordering a little bit of everything off the menu.My wife and I ordered 6 signature wings, half teriyaki soy, half hot & spicy, corn cheese, cheesy pork katsu, and kimchi fried rice. Kimchi fried rice came out first. It was phenomenal. It set my expectations high for the remaining items. And everything we ordered met or exceeded those already high expectations. I would gladly order the exact same items again. Gun to my head, if I had to pick only one favorite... I'd be shot in the head because I can't decide. It was all so good.The service wasn't the best I've experienced. Took longer than normal to get a seat. The pacing of the food was all over the place. But our server was kind and polite.The ambiance was casual. The inside was dimly lit. We opted to sit outside since it was bright and sunny the day we were there."

Tofu House

★★★★☆ 4 (287) • $$

"Even in the dead heat of July summer, Tofu House is SOOOO tasty! We've been here a few times and I need to remind myself to come more.Always so many great side dishes, and the entres are very shareable. YUM!"

Dae Gee Korean Bbq

★★★★☆ 3.7 (268) • $$

"This was my second Korean BBQ experience...and my favorite one!The meats and sides were absolutely perfect, and the patio was the most beautiful setting for a team dinner!Our servers were very attentive, even with a few grills going. They even allowed us to move to a bigger table so we could have more grills!Would definitely dine again!"

Big Sky Burger

★★★★☆ 4.4 (185)

"This place is so great! Everyone was so nice right as you walk in and makes you feel good immediately. We ordered the bulgogi plate, jr cheeseburger, dumplings, and fries. Everything was so tasty and made to order so it does take a little time, but that to me is a good thing! Also the portions are huge and I even took 1/2 of my food to eat later at home. The owner kept checking to see if everyone (not just me) was doing ok and liking their food. It felt very homey in the restaurant and there is a restroom in the back you just have to ask to unlock :) I will definitely come back and I recommend this place if you want real food that taste good for a great price and experience. Ps nice new owner since a few months ago!!"

Silla Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (221) • $$

"Wanna say... with the new owner and new servers, my last few visits have been excellent and giving 5 stars.Greeted with smile once you enter and another big smile once you sit down.... and the staff comes to take your order promptly.. the last owner (over worked gentleman), did pretty decent job too.Overall, all looks about the same but little things you will see adds big overall. Love the new wait person. She is excellent and her attentiveness and manner surpasses any $$$ restaurants I have been to. Hope this last for a long time. Since rhe new owner took over, it's been our weekly go-to.Food: Our $40 galbi was delicious and love the lettice presentation. Highly recommend soontofu too."

Seoul Korean BBQ & Sushi

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (387) • $$$

"Always a joyBbq or hot pot both rock. We come here every few months. Great menu. Only down side is you have to choose between hot pot or bbq, cant do both"

Bonchon

★★★★☆ 3.8 (182) • $$

"I do like their Chicken wings but forgot how spicy they are. Luckily the radish helped with the fire in my mouth :) He likes chicken wings but prefers the other restaurant we go to. But he liked the chicken katsu and couldn't finish the large portion. Leftovers for lunch for me! I didn't realize they have onion rings and they were ok. More batter than onion which is fine with me. The potstickers were good. Again spicy! I'm a wimp. The servers were attentive and polite. The chair I sat on first was slightly sticky but the restaurant looked clean. Bright light from the windows. Parking in the shared lot."

Funny Plus

★★★★☆ 3.5 (188)

"I haven't had funny plus in a while and the last time I had it was a long time ago. This is definitely much better when you eat it at the restaurant instead of ordering to go. It's one of the few places in the area that's opened late so you'll see lots of people come in through the night.The bbq is quite good. The pork belly was delicious. The cheese corn was also very good and a nice appetizer to start the meal. The fried chicken was interesting. It's a mix of legs, thighs, breasts, etc. I would've liked a wings only option cause the chicken pieces were quite large. Overall, it's a nice place to dine. Very chill ambiance. Nice music being played."

Tofu Story

★★★★☆ 4.3 (96) • $$

"When you walk in, it looks like a very clean location. It's very bright and each table has its own "privacy" with walls and pillars splitting it up. There's an outdoor patio if you're interested in eating outside. There are plenty of seats. Each table comes with a bell to signal a staffs attention. The tables come with a drawer for the utensils. Unfortunately, our table had none so we had to wait a while for them. Service was kinda meh but it looks like there was one person for the entire dining room.It comes with a nice variety of banchan or sidedishes. I didn't know that so I ordered the kimchi soon tofu. But the kimchi was really good. There's a nice variation of spicy and non-spicy sides plus a green salad so you get your veggies in.The kimchi soon tofu was quite good. I like how soft the tofu was. It came with tiny pork belly pieces and a choice of white or purple rice. If you want something healthier, purple rice would be the way to go."

Thank Sool Pocha

★★★★☆ 4.1 (103) • $$

"I've visited so often since the first time I came here, and for some reason I still haven't experienced karaoke! The K-Pop music videos on the screens around the restaurant never get old, though. It's best to come here with a larger group (at least 4-6 people) and share everything. Not the most friendly place for vegetarians or vegans, obviously.My favorite items to order (aside from bottles of soju) are Kimchi Pancakes, Spicy Rice Cake, and Army Stew. The Seafood Stew, which my pescatarian partner got, was fantastic too. Still haven't done KBBQ here either. Everything is fresh and delicious. Service is very professional. The tables are usually too small for how much we order, but it somehow works out."

Bonchon - Buchtel

★★★★☆ 4.1 (87) • $$

"This is not my first time at a Bonchon. This is my first time at this location. Getting seated took about four minutes. I noticed there were two people working the floor: The hostess and the waiter. The place maybe had four other tables with diners. I think the hostess thought I was ordering take out even though I said I wanted to dine in. I eventually got seated. Then it took another four or maybe even five minutes to take my order. I was annoyed at this point. I ordered water and the lunch wings lunch special. My food came out fresh in about ten minutes. Worth the wait! The Yangnyeom flavor was good. I wish the ambient air wasn't so hot. I think they set the thermostat to 78*F. I was not comfortable eating here. Would I be back here in the future? Likely, but with less layers of clothing. Maybe a short sleeve T-shirt."

bb.q Chicken Village on the Park

★★★★☆ 3.9 (92) • $$

"The chicken is still probably my favorite of the Korean fried chicken chains we have in Colorado. I really like the flavors of everything. My favorite is the cheeseling but it isn't everyone cup of tea. The honey garlic would be a safe alternative if you like a sweet chicken but want something without the cheese dust. The spicy original wings are also pretty good. It' has a nice kick of spice. The chicken just has a really nice crunch and it doesn't feel dry. The sides like fries and o ion rings are delicious. Can't go wrong with any of them.The tteokboki is really good. I've had it in the regular and rose. The kimchi fried rice is just okay and I personally would skip it. We came on a Friday afternoon and it was slow but business did pick up. There was one server in charge of all the tables so service can be kind of slow. One table did walk out after waiting for a couple of minutes so be ready for that. If you're in a rush, best to place a to-go order."

KoBA Korean BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.7 (99) • $$$

"What a gem in Denver!!Like every AYCE KBBQ, there is a wait. Let me tell you, it's worth the wait! The service is superb! We got the Combo B. With this option, there were plenty to choose from. The appetizers were amazing. My faves were chicken karaage and shrimp tempura. The Korean pancakes were decent. But don't fill your tummy with the appetizers! For proteins, my go-tos are the galbi, large intestines, pork jowls and boneless short ribs. Some other fillers they have are noodles - black bean, buldak and ramen. With so much options for anyone and everyone, this is the place to dine!"

Dagiya

★★★★★ 4.6 (62)

"The other day my husband said: "Do you really want Dagiya again? You've had it twice this week!" And the answer was YES! Lucky for us, we live close by so it's become a family favorite. We've tried all of the varieties of fried chicken and love the white onion fried chicken the most. It is topped with thin onion slices and the best part is the white onion dipping sauce (I wish this sauce would come with all the orders). Another favorite is the Chicken Mayo Bowl - I could eat this dish for lunch every day! The chicken is so flavorful and drizzled in mayo on a bed of rice makes it even better! Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Ddukbokki in general. But I do think the Labokki that includes ramen noodles is good!The service has always been quick and friendly! If eating in the restaurant, water, paper trays and plastic silverware are available -- making it easy to grab what you need without having to ask the staff."

Bop & Gogi Korean Kitchen and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (69)

"Korean tacos. Korean tacos. Korean tacos. I figure if I say it enough a few things will happen. Either they will appear (unlikely) or you will order them when you go (good idea).Is this restaurant perfect? No. When it's not busy you order at a kiosk and they descriptions of food are limited. It will help if you already know Korean food.Are the tacos so good that this place deserves five stars? Hell yes. Look, a taco is a pretty standard food, right? Negative. I cannot accurately describe how good this taco was. It was so good that I wanted to throw my main meal in the trash and order more tacos. It is so good that I am currently trying to book additional work in this town so I can eat more tacos. Yeah. It is that good. My main dish was a bowl with pork. It was great but the taco was life-changing. The taco won me over. Get you some ASAP."

Hot Juicy 88

★★★★★ 4.7 (50) • $

"This was my first time trying a Korean corn dog, I was really impressed! They have a large menu with various different foods (fried rice, bibimbap, etc). I also got a strawberry banana smoothie and it was perfect. I can't wait to come back to try more of what they have!"

BaekGa

★★★★★ 4.9 (43)

"We stumbled on this new place at Lowry Town Center that replaced Qdoba. What a change! Ambience is fine dining, beautiful and quiet. The Korean menu is spectacular. Service was friendly and quick, and the dishes!Kimchi pancake, bulgogi, grilled chicken bowl, gimbap to go: Wonderful. Somehow the leftovers tasted even better the next day. We are so fortunate to have a new great dining option at Lowry."

Mono GoGo

★★★★☆ 4.3 (55) • $$

Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (85)

"Excellent chicken bop bowl and Korean Corn Dog (cheese inside plus a hot dog). Spice level 3 definitely had some spice, and 10 was VERY hot, but flavorful. Would get it again in a heartbeat!"

bb.q Chicken Capitol Hill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (48) • $$

"This location isn't as busy as other spots so parking is relatively easy. We arrived at like 7pm and got a spot right in front of the restaurant. The staff was really nice. They were trying to help us find the nuggets game but unfortunately they had limited channels so they didn't have the game.The chicken is always good and I haven't had a bad batch from bb.q chicken locations. We ordered the cheesling, honey garlic, and original with the house and hot sauce on the side. The chicken and fries were still crunchy after our drive home to eat. The rose tteokboki was okay because the rice cakes were not as soft and squishy."

92 Chicken Englewood

★★★★★ 4.8 (24)

"The Korean fried chicken wings here are solid. Ultra crunchy. I love their soy garlic and spicy soy garlic."

Bopbowl

★★★★★ 4.5 (25)

"We were driving by the plaza, saw a new Kbowl spot, and made a u-turn to try it this place did not disappoint! Their menu is very clearly posted on the wall and the prices are definitely reasonable. I opted for a create your own bowl with rice, tofu, stir fried veggies, & corn, & my partner got the LA Bowl. Everything was fresh, & the employees were extremely friendly & helpful. They walked us through the different sauce options & asked if the kiosk was easy to order from (it was, very intuitive). There are overall limited seats inside, but I imagine there are a lot of takeout orders from here. My only gripe was that the small bowl was a bit small, but I'll just make sure to order a large one next time! I'll definitely be back!"

Ugly Rice

★★★★★ 4.9 (20)

"This is low key one of the most Korean places in the Denver Metro area that isn't in Aurora. The food is very good with authentic flavors. The menu has enough variety from simple street food to some of the greatest hits. There are always older Korean ladies in there chatting with the Korean owners. It's kind of like a quick serve Korean place with better quality food (WAY better than Cupbop, which any Asian person will tell you is not good) and prices to match. It's not Seoul BBQ, but it's not trying to be, and the food blows away anything you can get at CoArk Collective. It's simple inside, but there's plenty of space to dine in. There's always modern k-pop playing, and the owners usually walk around to check on customers and make sure they're enjoying their food. Food comes out fast, hot, and fresh, and the flavors taste authentically Korean and just right. I love this place, and it's filling a huge need in the Lone Tree and Parker area."

CM Chicken Lakewood

★★★★★ 4.7 (15) • $$

"I came here for a friend meet up on a Friday night. We had a group of 15 and they were able to accommodate us very well. Khang was a rockstar! He put tables together so we could all sit together and brought out waters right away. The restaurant itself is rather large and they have indoor and outdoor seating. We basically ordered all of our meals at the same time (I'm sorry!) and it came out pretty quickly! More importantly the food that came out and was delicious! I was so impressed how tasty the fired chicken was and how good the sauces were. My personal favorite was to eat the chicken with rice but I know some people loved it with fries. Highly recommend and I would be happy to come back! Overall 5/5"

Seoul Bowl

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"Friendly. Fast. Solid bulgogi & fried tofu bowls! So happy that bulgogi is once again within a mile of me - you can only eat so much Snarfs people."

Mono Mono Korean Fried Chicken

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (8)

"Fun Fact: "Korean-style fried chicken uses an Asian frying technique that renders out the fat in the skin, transforming it into a thin, crackly and almost transparent crust." (monomonokfc.com) Over the last few years, I've become a huge fan of *this* KFC (sorry, Colonel), and Mono Mono, with six Colorado locations, enjoys a spot on my list of favorite places. The Centennial location is all set for pick up. They have limited seating, but the food travels well. Check out:* Chicken Tenders~it took forever for these crunchy beauties to cool down so I could pick one up for the photo! Big on flavor and literally big, this is KFC in its purest form. Teryaki Soy Wings~a flavor I hadn't tried before and just as good as my other favorites. Dumplings~I love all dumplings and these housemade pork and veggie ones tantalize taste buds."

Sintoburi

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (3)

"This little business is in the same plaza as Tous Le Jours. The sign is in Korean so look for the window that says Kimchi. The staff does speak primarily Korean and the labels are in Korean as well. There is a staff that does speak English and she is so nice.The kimchi is one of the best that I've had in Colorado so I bought a tub of it for $15. There are other banchans that they make such as seaweed salad, eggplant, green beans, and pickled cucumbers that they only make around the summer time. Each is like $8 each. The kimbap was delicious. You get two rolls for $8.Overall, be patient and kind. It's a nice way to incorporate more veggies and fermented foods in your diet."
