"We tried the garlic soy and spicy garlic wings and parmesan fries. The wings were crispy and flavorful! I liked the spicy garlic more which I think had more flavor. I want to say I wish it was a bit more saucy but not sure if having it delivered played a part but it was still good. Fries and aioli were on point. The daikon could be more pickly but it's a small side so who cares. I hope this place continues to grow in popularity! We need more KFC in Columbus!!"
"I tried their ddukbokki & Korean Fired Chicken.. Amazing.. Especially their fried chicken is really really good.. I strongly recommend this place and fried chicken"
"Located on far Eastside in Pickerington. Friendly staff. Fast service. Nice atmosphere. Great prices. Most importantly, good food!! Probably why it's been open for years.*overheard someone say the food is better than when they were last there. (That's all I heard)"
"The food was awesome. There were many choices. Everyone in our group was pleased with the food. The location was fine. They bring a selection of appetizers with the meal. It's great for browsing small bites, the kimchi was on point and all the others a nice bit of nibbles. This is certainly one of best Korean restaurants in Columbus."
"Very very good food and very good service. Would highly recommend. Definitely going back soon."
"Food = outstandingCost = expensive for what you get Service = D-Last night was our first time going. They weren't all that busy inside for a Saturday night. We were there around 7:30/8. They were busy for takeout orders. There was a constant flow of customers coming in to place & pickup takeout. Inside there were 2 parties of 4 & 2 parties of 2 including us. A party of 5 entered a little while after us. There was 1 waitress on duty & another employee working the front desk & helping where she could. We were told to sit at a booth & were given menus. Being our first time we needed a little while to look. Our server came over 4 times about 1 minute apart to ask if we were ready. On her last visit I simply had a question & she took that as me placing my order. I asked if it was possible to get the garlic soy chicken with snow sauce on the side. She answered me while writing it down. I told her we have more food to order before she walked away hoping she would understand not to put my food in. No such luck. Then she disappears for a while. She finally comes back & takes the rest of our order. She puts the order in & immediately comes out with my chicken & snow onion, drops it at our table & quickly walks away before we can say anything. Serving 101 is bring all the food at the same time. That was a major faux pas. The girl avoids us completely & it takes about 10 minutes to finally get the other woman's attention. We explain what happened & that we specifically told her there was more to order, that we weren't ready to order. We wanted all the food at the same time. We ask if she can take my wings to the back to at least keep them warm until all the food comes. Instead she kinda shrugs me off & goes to the back to grab our sides. Out comes our rice & fries. We ordered wedges but got fries. We didn't say anything & just took it. She looked at us & smiled & said enjoy your meal. Like no, we still have his wings we're waiting on. We tell her there's another set of wings we're missing. She says the Tikkudak wings take a little longer. That's fine but why is no one understanding how service flow works or paying attention to what anyone orders? What we have is getting cold while we wait for it all to arrive.The original server brings the wings a few minutes later. She does the same thing. Quickly drops them on the table & runs away. This time she put them on the far corner of the table where neither of us are sitting, instead of placing the food in front of the diner or even handing them to him. The service here is absolutely horrendous. The server was either up our butt or nowhere to be found/flat out ignoring us. At the end we asked for check & 2 boxes. She forgot. After a while she walked by our table & asked if we were ready for check. Yes...we already said so. Comes back with the check & no boxes. "Can we have boxes?"She responded "sure! 1 or 2?" like this was the first time we asked & like she couldn't see we needed 1 box per person. Some common sense is lacking here. It was all a little chaotic & scatterbrained when it didn't have to be. Most disappointing is there's no concept of service flow. The food was great! But my wings got cold while we waited on the rest of the food. Service flow is so simple & frankly common sense. Take the whole tables order at the same time, drop the ticket, & bring out all the food at the same time. The only thing that should come early are appetizers if they apply, unless otherwise requested. I get that they were busy so that offers some sympathy but they need serious work in that dept. My only other grievances are it's way too expensive & their sides suck. Fries, rice, & coleslaw. They can do better than that. Plenty of things go with wings. I'll be back for lunch since that's $10.99 with sides. But I'm ordering & asking for a box to go. Hopefully that's not too complicated. Much work to do. Great product alone won't keep a place open."
"The food gods taketh away, and the food gods giveth back.Fresh on the heels of Freshstreet's departure & indefinite hiatus, Mashita Noodles has arrived. And while they don't quite match Freshstreet's ramen awesomeness (not that I think that's really their intent), they're a nice reminder that the food scene in this town is really taking off. When young people start hand making their own alkaline noodles, you know something pretty good is going on.The day I went, two choices of noodles (regular and spicy), three choices of broth (house, vegan, and chilled spicy), and three choices of protein (pulled pork, chicken, squash & mushroom), plus bean sprouts, herbs, and if you ask, homemade kimchi.Don't come looking for traditional ramen, that's not what Mashita is serving. But that's okay, because what they're producing is a pretty nice bowl of Asian-inspired noodle soup. The broths are distinctive and complex; the vegan broth (made with konbu and shiitake mushroom) was particularly good. The alkaline noodles could have been just a tad more chewy, but I'm not going to criticize too much anyone who goes through the trouble of making their own noodles by hand, no less.Now if only I can convince them to make a traditional tonkotsu ramen broth..."
"Amazing chicken. The fries are outstanding. service was excellent and it is gorgeous inside!! If you enjoy chicken, the crispy GOOD kind...you won't wanna miss this spot folks if you ever roll through delaware"
"Wonderful place to get sushi. Service is top notch. Very casual relaxing atmosphere . Highly recommend ."
"Amazing.... I can't rave enough about this food. I thought about it for the rest of the day. Going back next week to get more. The service was quick and helpful. It is in a grocery store, so maybe not a date night place, but so so good."

I love their happy hour! The rolls are so cheap, but my favorite thing is their Kitchen Donburi Bowl. Additionally, can't go wrong with any of their drinks - I always get a Lychee martini. The staff are always so kind and it is super cute inside.

The cartoony look of the logo gave me pause. It is a ghost kitchen, so anything and everything is possible. A bit of research showed them to be quite popular in the Née York area. Free delivery was also helpful in making the purchase decision, the food arrived much earlier than expected. The cartoon logo on the bag. After setting it down I realized it was much higher quality than your typical delivery order. I carefully cut it away to show the packaging job. The kimchi fries had a pleasant tang. The wontons were crisp and wonderful. The chicken was great in quantity but quality wasn't quite there. When chicken is in the name, it should be on point.

The restaurant is tucked back with a welcoming sign. The environment is very cozy, with decorations and nice lighting. The food is incredible and they have a vast menu for all your Korean favorites. Their side dishes are always fresh and in season. What truly makes this place special is the owner. She is so kind and loving. The food is great but I keep coming back for her!

The best fried rice I've ever had! The menu is huge with both American and Korean food. The Korean food is excellent, totally worth a try even if you're new to it. They're quick and very friendly. I always get the food to-go, but there are plenty of tables and booths inside.

The chicken was very good and very crispy. I ordered the garlic spicy wings after asking how hot the red hot sauce was and being told a 9 on a scale of 1-10. 9 wings came in the wing order and I ordered in the restaurant and it took less than 10 mins to prepare my food. The wings are pretty small and I like that they are fried hard without being burnt. I will visit again.

"I absolutely love, love coming to this place! Diaspora is a Korean restaurant nestled in the plaza on High and Lane near campus. There's parking in a back so it's definitely worth the check out. I love Asian cuisine so this place is great for scratching that itch! I wanted to take out my friends for a delicious meal and they wanted to try this place. Kmusic playing in the back with for sports games on the TVs. We got some soju as well so don't miss out on that. They have many beverages from around Asia so feel free to try them out. I have had most of them. We got some dduk boki, jajangmyeong and beef dup bap,all awesome all tasty! We highly recommend for this dining experience. My friends was so happy to check it out! 5 starts"
"I ordered food from here after attending a yelp event nearby and I was very pleased. I had the Korean burrito (Ko-Bo, as it's referred to by staff) and it was pretty good. It took a small while for me to get used to the kimchi and other Korean-inspired ingredients in a burrito framework but it was quite enjoyable once I got over the mental confusion. And prices are pretty cheap too, which I was pleasantly surprised by.S5DH staff members were very nice. Very laid back and they bring you your order once it's ready so you don't have to stand around waiting for it.They did not have enough change when we gave them a $20 bill for our meal so maybe go to this food truck well stocked with $1's. I think they take debit/credit cards too BUT, I will say, they lost power right after my order. They were able to get it back on after a few seconds but that made me a little hesitant to depend solely on plastic for future orders."
"Great Karaage Donburi! Mildly spicy, a nice amount of white rice, covered with fried chicken, corn, furikake, green onion and then eel sauce and spicy mayo sauce. I also ordered the Harumaki which came with a sweet chili sauce. They were crunchy on the outside and tasty on the inside. I would definitely order this meal again, I was stuffed when I finished it."
"New hotpot place in town. I loved dining here. They have tons of options in meat and veggies for the hotpot and bbq. It's a good place for vegetarian as they have protein options like tofu.You could select either hotpot or the bbq or both for an additional $5 per person. You get your individual pot for the hotpot, which is great.They have a separate station for creating our own sauces for the hotpot and bbq. They also had some amazing desserts and ice creams as well.The service was amazing and the place is huge."
"Not bad, but my experience just needed a little work. It was really hard to hear the worker taking the order. I'm not certain if it was the truck, or what. I knew what I wanted, and was trying to go in order of their sign, but she kept skipping around to different areas, which threw me off a bit. It may have just been a huge communication thing, because it was hard to hear. What I got was ok... they really skimped on the meat portion here. I probably received the equivalent of 2 tbsps of chicken unfortunately, and with you paying $9+ for a bowl--- That can be a make/break for considering patronage of the truck in future visits. The plus side is that you can make yourself some really healthy options, and it's nice to take a break from the deep fried mess trucks that are all over. They at least win my respect on that end, but the experience unfortunately was not seamless from start to finish. Perhaps better luck next time."
"We had so much fun at this restaurant and the food was super yummy! We loved everything we got! Our server was nice, but got someone else to help us cook and give us cooking instructions, which really helped since it was our first time."
"I'm so grateful for this place! The kimbap is delicious and fresh! I miss my mom's Korean food and this adorable stand hits the spot without having to drive out to upper Arlington"
"It's an AYCE Kbbq and/or hot pot. The entire table has to do the same choice between the BBQ, hot pot, or both. It's an extra $5 per person to do both. It's a new place so the restaurant is pretty clean. One thing I appreciated was that you can put your jackets underneath the seats in the booths so it doesn't smell like bbq.Both times I've been I was able to be seated right away, but it was busy during dinner time. You can order as much as you want on either menus. During busy hours they do reinforce the 2 hour limit. Service was pretty good, but you might not see your waiter for a bit if it's busy so I'd suggest ordering a bunch up front. They do have a QR code to scan to order your items digitally. The food does come out pretty quick. Compared to other places, I would say one pot's food is the most "fresh" tasting, even if some of the things come out a little frozen. Plenty of variety and there's a little bar with side dishes and a couple dessert options."
"Delicious! Highly recommend the garlic snow chicken. Just know that when they tell you it is spicy they are not kidding. The Korean Ramen is also delicious- but again it is spicy. We were surprised to find out this location is a sit down restaurant, although it seemed like most of the business is carry out. Will definitely be back."
"Every bit as good as SF Bay Area Korean Food...and I married into a Korean family who's been to them all!The Seafood Pancake is perfect-balanced seafood nestled in a perfectly crisped mung bean batter is served like a pizza perfect for table sharing.Clay pot BiBimBap is scalding hot, allowing you to toast your rice to your liking. If you don't know what I'm talking about, order it and love rice. All protein choices are delicious and lean.The various bulgogi chooses are all solid and spot-on. At least one in your party should order for the full range of BANCHAN (sides). Banchan is what distinguishes Korean restaurants. The quality of brined, pickled and fermented sides is more authentically complete here than any other on Columbus. Try them all and discuss preferences with your party-then wash them down with Soju!Last time I ate there I was so full I had to walk the airport concourse x4 to sit comfortably.Min Ga is that good. Plus, the eye roll when I ask for thirds of some banchan reminds me of family!"
"We've eaten here numerous times. The chips and salsa is great! Very unique. Every item we've had on the menu has been wonderful."
"What a gem. We ordered this on a whim hoping for some great Korean food. We truly were not disappointed. The kimchi rice was fantastic with just the right amount of heat on the back end. The Duk Bakki was excellent as was the bibimbop. The gimbap was the best that I have had in years. I'm looking forward to actually visiting."
"Finally snagged a cheesy potato last night and was pretty good! Was not as savory as I thought it would be, but hey for drunchies it's a great snack! Well priced too and fairly quick. I'd come back for sure!"
"Best Sushi in Columbus! Small family atmosphere inside. Staff are friendly and attentive."
"I stopped by this stall in the new Bubbly Food Hall about a month ago. I've been wanting to try tteokbokki for a long time and was thrilled to see this as an option since I live nearby. I had the jjajang (Korean black bean) rice cakes on this visit. I am not huge on spice and saw these were non-spicy. While they may have not had much heat, they had a ton of flavor. There was a great savory but also sweetness to these rice cakes and they had a nice chew. The only thing that would have made these better would be a thicker sauce. It was a bit on the thin side and I had trouble getting the sauce to stick to the cakes instead of sliding off. Since I went so early in the opening this may change eventually or may already have. I also wanted to mention that they have a great range of Korean sodas and I really loved the melon one I had, but I will warn you they are very sweet."
"Really delicious food. We catered TaKorea for lunch and it was excellent. Highly recommend the birria tacos and KFC!"
"Food is delicious. I've been here twice. All of the extras taste so fresh. Love it here! The restaurant is upbeat with K-pop music videos and music. Service was extremely attentive. Constantly coming by to ask if we would like the grill changed out or needed anything else. Combo A is $80 and was a little too much for 2 people but we pushed through. Could definitely be eaten by 3."
"Fast, friendly and tons to choose from!Sushi En was a welcome haven during our very rainy drive north for the Thanksgiving holiday. We were seated right away in a cozy corner, and experienced fast friendly service throughout. If you want sushi, ordering is as simple as marking up the menu with the provided dry erase marker--genius!We enjoyed the tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, spider roll and cherry blossom roll. The latter two were a bit unwieldy in size but tasty nonetheless. The first three rolls were pretty standard, while the cherry blossom is something I haven't seen before. Looking back at the menu now I see that the crab on top was meant to be spicy, which it really wasn't, but it was a nice addition nonetheless. Everything that fell off the roll was just like a free extra snack."
"I love fried chicken and this place definitely was worth the trip. Our tenders were very crispy and super flavorful yet juicy inside. For the price, they gave decent portion sizes as well. The amount of tenders I got lasted me two meals and after putting tenders in the air frier they still tasted great. The service was a little slow, but the staff were nice. The ambiance is your basic food joint decorated with photos of the chicken and some signs about their story. Inside were a decent amount of tables, but I feel like this restaurant is better suited for smaller versus larger parties. I'd definitely go here again, my only minor complaint is that the chicken was overly salty but this sometimes is expected with restaurant food."
"I've always referred to this place as "the takeout counter inside the Arirang Market". I only learned it has its own name earlier this year... oops.So yeah, Nara Korean Cuisine is a Korean takeout counter located inside Arirang Korean Market on Bethel Rd. They offer a good variety of classic Korean dishes at a very reasonable price. They also have a small seating area for those who prefer to eat on site.As an added benefit, you can buy other side items and drinks to go with your meal since it's located inside a grocery store.One oddity here that threw me off on my first visit is that you actually order and pay for your food at the cash register up front for the Arirang Market. You then take the receipt back to the Nara counter at the back of the market to receive your food. If you enjoy Korean food, this place is definitely worth a try!"
"I have been a couple times and both have been great. Happy hour has decent specials and a wide selection. Regular menu is full of choices to satisfy any tastes even if you aren't into sushi or sashimi. Service has been good every time I've been, friendly. Seating can get a bit cramped on a Friday night but there is bar area seating as well as tables. I have this place on my list whenever I want something different or a change of pace to my norm."
"I really like food trucks. Ajumama is one of the best in Columbus. It moves around a lot so it can be hard to get to. A lot of the time you can find it close to OSU campus. There's other times it's on the east side. I found it recently at the OSU Medical Center building at Olentangy and First. It was tucked away in the back of the parking lot. This is among the many places this pops up. It has a Korean inspired menu that's good even though it's not authentic. The bulgogi is the most popular item. It's like cheesesteak. There's also stuff for vegetarians. I had the Spicy KBBQ Jackfruit Sandwich. It's $8 and it's a pretty big size. The jackfruit has a texture like meat, and with all the other ingredients it tastes like it too. Korean fusion is a big thing around here and this food truck makes it very easy to get. Look it up on the Food Truck Finder. This often appears outside of breweries and places without a food menu."
