Asiana Korean Restaurant

The food was amazing!! The Korean food here is very unique, like I never seen purple rice and the eggplant banchan before!! They are very delicious and the restaurant has a really cool architecture!! The kimchi jjigae has a rich flavor, which I love!! Service is amazing too!! Highly recommend!!

Pretty good Korean food, especially for the Cincinnati area. The variety is good, and they have a handle on most of the Korean dishes. I'd say that the palette trends a little to the sweeter side than I'm used to compared to California's Korean restaurants. However, it's not very noticeable, and if you're not paying attention, you're not likely to care. Banchan selection and taste is good. They're really generous on the refills too. As a bonus, I'd love to see the Korean BBQ cooked in front of me, but that's an unfair ask.Super friendly service, they helped show some members of our dining party (who were new to Korean) how to properly enjoy the food.

I picked up some takeout there yesterday. The restaurant was clean and the staff was polite and efficient. I found the food to be pretty good, particularly the sizzling meat dish. Overall, good Korean food in a comfortable, small setting.

It's a little hole-in-the-wall place in a non-descript strip mall off Cin-Day road but they have a wide variety on their menu. I had the Dolsot BIbimbap with hot tea ($25). The portion was enough for two, especially given the 8 side dishes typically served along side the main dish. I wish they offered a lunch-sized portion but there is no lunch menu. The beef was very tender but there wasn't a lot of it. Sesame oil was the predominant flavor. They offer a very limited selection of alcoholic beverages, mostly beer. Prices are on the high side but portions are big enough to split. A good choice if you're in the mood for Korean food.

I really enjoy coming here and it is worth the drive. The owners are so friendly and they have tasty Korean food. I have also met the woman who is the chef and does much of the cooking. I tend to show up usually with a large group so we can share everything family style. I recommend their pajun (seafood and kimchi pancakes), soups, rabokki (rice cake+ramen), and all of the standards such as bulgogi and pork bbq. You will be greeted with a nice selection of side dishes as you would expect at a traditional Korean restaurant. I love that they have a nice variety of Korean drinks. You can get nonalcoholic drinks like shikhye and sujungwa (traditional cinnamon drink). I loved their Korean black raspberry wine.

We were looking for a good first-time Korean dining experience and stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner.The staff was very courteous and attentive, and the owner (I assumed she was the owner) came out a few times in person over the course of the meal to ensure we were taken care of.We had a kimbap appetizer, dolsot bibimbap for myself and my GF ordered chicken Katsu. Everything was so fresh and delicious, and the eight banchan (typical side dishes) were amazing and complimented the main dishes wonderfully. The kimchi was on point!Some have said that it's a bit on the expensive side, but honestly I've paid a lot more than this at other restaurants for a so/so experience and walked out still hungry. Trust me, we walked out of the place feeling very full and satisfied and have already talked about returning soon. Very highly recommended!

I love Asiana. It was my Mom's favorite Korean restaurant in town. It is the most authentic with a great menu and the banchan are delightful. Be sure to order the mackerel, amazing.

Everything was very good! One of the best authentic Korean restaurants in the Cinci area. Been a long time customer and they are still very consistent. Their side dishes are all very good which is usually the first thing I look for! Good portions and flavor. They do have different spice levels (1-5) that you can choose from for those with lower spice tolerance~

Best authentic Korean restaurant in Town! Best kept secret, owners are always on point been going here since my HS days never disappoints. now that I'm married my family too love this restaurant . food feels like good old home cooked meal, always delicious esp the Yakult on every end of dinner service. I wish nothing but the best for this place! Definitely my go to spot in the area

Hidden gem alert!Asiana is located in the corner of an unassuming, tiny strip mall, next to a nail salon I believe. Based on this, Asiana was going to either be amazing or abysmal, thankfully it was the former!Service is quick and friendly. Space is quiet, a nice change from chain restaurants.Having never dined at a Korean restaurant, it was surprisingly just how much food you get! I wasn't sure if the banchan was meant to be eaten with the meal, or before, as it was delivered before our meal came. Every banchan dish was delicious! I debated giving them four stars because it would be nice if they offered smaller portions of their main dishes, as you are definitely going to have lots of leftovers. But, the food was amazing!Speaking for the food, everything had so much flavor! If you are one that likes bland things, do not come here. But, if you are someone that appreciates the complexity and subtlety that can exist in a culinary creation, then you will love this place!The dumplings were THE BEST I have ever had in this area! The outside was perfectly crispy, they were cooked to perfection. Hard not to order them, even with all the other food that you got. Order the dumplings, they will not disappoint!My husband had the Beef Bulgogi, which I tried a bite of. Such richness in flavor! I ordered the Soontofu JjiGae...which the waitress was surprised I liked...lol! So many layers of flavor, intermingling beautifully! For me, as someone that doesn't eat much tofu, I was hoping it had more egg than tofu in it (first time every ordering this ginormous soup), but it was excellent.So, if you are sick of waiting for a table at loud chain restaurants just to eat the same old food, you should try Asiana for a delicious respite!
