Koreana Restaurant

Jjampong was great! Spicy but yummy!Menu offers such variety that I'm looking forward to trying other items soon

You don't have to explore the orient to savor the unique flavors of Korea! Located within a mile of Fort Sam Houston, this unassuming local favorite serves up authentic Korean fare in a bright setting. I walked in on a weekday around 6 p.m. and was seated at a booth by a staff member. Having a high degree of familiarity with Korean food, I already knew what I wanted before I looked at the menu. Yep, you guessed it - Bibimbap - a delicious masterpiece of rice and vegetables topped with an egg sunny side up! If you have a taste for something else, they have a host of other classic Korean dishes that are sure to please!As I was waiting, the server brought out an array of sides (banchan). This included kimchi, cucumbers, fish cakes, among others. My dish arrived steaming hot in a cast iron bowl. I added some spicy sauce and mixed it in the rice and toppings. It was delicious down to the last bite, and the rice had a distinctive crisp at the bottom of the bowl! Overall, I would say the food here is top notch and would highly recommend!

Wanted bibimbap when my young cousin started obsessing over it after exposure through a Korean show. This restaurant is the only one I found that served it.This restaurant sits between Seoul Food Korean Grill and a mexican restaurant. The area doesn't look very appealing but everything was copacetic in this restaurant. We ordered the bibimbap with japchae and bulgogi.Everything was very good. My only downfall was buying too much bibimbap because it is not good the second day. Definitely a dish that is to be enjoyed immediately.

It was my first time visiting San Antonio in a long time, and I was craving Korean food. The service here was very nice. They had very appetizing bento sets, but I wanted something simple. I ordered a rice cake/dumpling soup that was pretty good, but I didn't like the kimchi and some of the side dishes. You do get a discount for paying with cash. Overall, it's a decent place.

Came around 2pm on a weekday and there were plenty of parking spots and seats. My first impression was how welcoming the staff were. Our waitress was so nice and friendly in recommending foods and making sure we had everything we needed. The samgyetang was flavorful and filling while the galbi lunch special was a great value and tasted amazing. The banchan sides were bountiful and tasty. I'll definitely be coming back to try some other options! The only down side was that we went in summer (June) and it was slightly warm in the restaurant. For those who fear cold AC, it is perfect for you!

Family members highly recommended this restaurant, and it did not disappoint. We were greeted and seated immediately by the friendly waitstaff when we visited during lunch. The place was clean and comfortable. We were waited on quickly, and our food arrived just as fast. Most impressive was the deliciousness of our meals. We ordered the kimchi pancake for an appetizer, and it was fantastic -- I would order it again. We ordered pork bulgogi, beef bulgogi, and the stoneware bibimbap for our entrees. We recommend all of these dishes. They were abundant portions, and the prices were reasonable.I look forward to my next visit.

Looking for a good Korean restaurant to try, we headed to Koreana Restaurant. There were already several cars parked in front when we arrived.Dad and hubby had the Dole Lemonade, and I had the Lychee Hanjan. Hanjan wasn't sake but tasted a bit similar. We got several dishes to share: Japchae, LA Galbi, and Seafood Soft Tofu Soup. Great flavors with all the dishes! The beef short rib was very tender and tasty. The soup was spicy, so my hubby enjoyed that more. The best part is the ban chan, all the variety of sides from kimchi to cucumber to potatoes. Koreana Restaurant seems to have been in this neighborhood for quite some time now, but the current owner has had the place for about a year. It's definitely worth a stop here!

Service is amazing! Our waitress was so kind and was attentive to our table. The portions here are large! I would say the food is decent. The banchan was mediocre and some banchan dishes were too sweet; however, I really enjoyed the main dishes. I ordered yukgaejang and it was a huge portion! I was able to take home leftovers and eat it for two more meals. It came with plenty of beef and bean sprouts. My friends split the goat meat soup (the menu says it is 2 servings, but it could definitely serve 4!). The goat meat soup was so flavorful! It was my first time trying that kind of jeongol and I really liked it! Our table also split the tteokbokki. I thought this dish wasn't really worth it - it just tasted like one of the instant kits you can get at the Korean market. I would definitely come back to try more of the main dishes/stews!

OMG! Everything about this Korean Restaurant is excellent, from how clean and neat is inside, the service and all the way to the amazing fresh food. Every dish is prepared at the moment.

Food was delicious. The staff there, especially the old lady, was very accommodating to my friends and I! The servings were definitely worth the price and it arrived quick as well! Definitely a go to spot whether you're alone or with friends. The place was clean and presentable and made it able to eat.
