Riverside Korean Restaurant

I think this restaurant is warm and inviting, it is small and cozy? I like that they have a dining area for sitting on the floor with pillows and seating in chairs. There's not a lot of seating but a decent amount on both sides of the restaurant. There's street parking available and sometimes limited.I love the soups and stir fry, especially on cold days. I recommend trying something in every category because their food is high quality. I felt that everything was made well, seasoned well, and delicious. I don't think you can go wrong with any choice. The banchan (side dishes) are also delicious and pairs well with everything. I recommend trying everything at least once or twice.Staff is very nice and very kind here. They're very accommodating and they really take care of their customers. We had a great experience and everything was delicious and well made.I would recommend if you want to try authentic Korean food and a cozy and warm experience. I would recommend for small groups and a casual date or hangout! If you have a bigger party, I would recommend calling ahead for a reservation.

I got the Dae Ji Bul Go Gi Lunchbox. I loved the flavor of the sauce on the pork. The dumplings were tasty. And the kim chi and cucumber salad were tasty. The service was quick and the staff were lovely. My friend accidentally left her phone, and had to drive a long way. We managed to get a hold of one of the employees (after going next door), and she came back and got us the phone even though they were closed at the time. Would definitely recommend!

This is my first experience with authentic Korean food and it was amazing! Tried several different dishes and was pleasantly surprised by all of them! We got lettuce wraps to put our Bul Go Gi with and it was great! The service was very helpful when we were trying to decide and recommend several things. They have traditional seating in the front dining room and more of a bar open setting in the back. Very cool design - will definitely be back when in town again!

Love this place! Food is great! They do Dolsot Bibimbap well and we love their Korean BBQ (although not the kind where you cook yourself). Love it when we sit at the little floor traditional floor tables but as I get older it's a little tougher, lol. Definitely recommend for authentic Korean fare!

Had a lovely dinner at Riverside Korean Restaurant once recent Friday evening. Every main course comes with six side dishes called Ban Chan. Ours included black beans with sesame seeds, potatoes, daikon radish, tofu, broccoli and kimchi, all of which were a nice intro to our appetizers, both of which were delicious: sweet and spicy wings and beef and veggie stuffed fried dumplings. We shared two main courses -- a chicken dish from the grill and a pork dish topped with a fried egg from the noodle section of the menu. Both were really good but if I had to choose a favorite, it would be the pork and noodle dish. We had a bit leftover to take home, always a bonus. The courteous staff rotated looking after us and were very timely about clearing plates, bringing the next dish, etc. We sat in the bright and airy portion of the restaurant, which has lots of green plants growing from a ceiling stand and best tiger face wallpaper I have ever seen. Drinks including beer, wine and cocktails are available to accompany your meal. It pays to make reservations -- Riverside filled up quick during our visit!

This is my go to spot for Korean food! Great authentic tasting food for sure. The bibimbap, soon tofu, broiled mackerel, seafood pancake, and gyoza.

Very nicely flavoured and tender chicken. Rice cooked perfectly. I do wish I would've ordered a bowl for a bigger mix of foods and more complicated flavours, but what I got was good and filling! The environment is clean and very nice! There's a more traditional side of the restaurant and more trendy side, where the bar is. The outdoor seating is beautiful. The service was great and they were very accommodating. They did an excellent job serving groups and the whole experience was about 40 minutes- super impressive. They had multiple groups on site at the time.

I came here for dinner with my mom during our recent visit to Cincinnati. We came during dinner time and arrived just before the rush hour, so we got seated immediately. We ordered our food in mere minutes and got our sides and appetizers to the table in a few minutes. I ordered japchae, and my mom ordered bulgogi with rice. The food was spot on, and they were delicious! I highly recommend this Korean restaurant if you are in town and looking for a great Korean place to satisfy your Korean food craving!

Thoroughly enjoyed this place! Tried to go last year but the wait was too long. We went on a weekday evening and we were seated right away. Service was very friendly! We shared one of the hot pots together and for the money we paid we got a lot of food. We could not take it all home but they did offer to let us. It just tasted very fresh and we really had a good time. Ambiance is really cute! They have a place where you can sit on the floor and your table is at floor level. Very authentic. It's easy to park nearby on the street or there is a garage literally half a block away that is also very cheap. Definitely will return!

Expensive for a descent food. Automatic tips added for six people, including kids . Server stop by twice.
