    Omg, this restaurant looks downright scary from the outside. From certain angles at the intersection, the place looks like it's closed. The inside does not fare that much better because of worn out chairs and tables but the food was GREAT. I tried a bowl of bibimbop and I'd highly recommend ordering that from this restaurant. My companion and I also tried deep-fried dumplings and it is alright at its price but they are nothing special and I wouldn't order them again. You could buy the frozen dumplings and deep fry them yourself. The food seems fresh.

    Parking here is very limited. They probably need to have better painted lines designating which areas people may park. At the time of my visit, a lot of cars were crammed into the space in a haphazard way.

    I have driven by Korea House for so long and I've always thought they were permanently closed.

    Craving Korean a couple months ago and not too impressed with the other places, I decided to search and found positive reviews for this restaurant.

    First off, parking is so difficult. Their lot is the size of a child's shoebox. Cars will park in front of you if you're backed up near the big trash bin. Difficult. Come during off hours if possible.

    Walking in there was nobody in the place and I got so nervous.

    I went forward and ordered the spicy cakes and fish slices (toppoki?), soon tofu seafood soup, and chicken katsu.

    The side dishes served were not amazing but still delicious. The food came out in a timely manner.

    The rice cakes were so incredibly soft and lots of fish slices. The spicyness was phenomenal. I have always ordered this since (been back 3 times).

    The tofu was silky and smooth. Perfect. There was a sufficient amount of seafood so I didn't feel ripped off. My go to order if it's cold out.

    My friend had the chicken katsu and I was surprised he finished it all. The portions were huge. The chicken was crispy and delicious.

    I've also gotten bulgogi and pork neck for the grill. Completely worth it as it comes with a soup as well. This definitely fills more than 2 people.

    Definitely my new Korean joint.

    From the outside, at certain angles the restaurant looks like it's boarded up. We almost didn't go in because we thought the place was shut down. Thankfully we investigated further because the food here is pretty good. Food took a bit long to come out and the service seems way too overworked.

    To start, the deep fried dumplings were decent. My seafood udon was decent too although some of the seafood was a bit chewy. I think the tempura udon would be better here. The bibimbap was very, very good though. Some of the complimentary banchan was good as well. Loved the complimentary noodle soup they give you at the beginning.

    Prices are very fair.

    This place looks like a little hole in the wall, which usually means it should be good. The restaurant itself is kind of old and looks very run down.

    The food is okay. I had the pork bone soup, the soup was okay, the pork was dry and it did not fall off the bone. I also had the bulgogi which was cold and not hot when served.

    The service is lacking as it seems it is just the son of the owner running around. He is not very attentive. I would not come back here again as the prices were not that great along with the food.

    My family and I enjoyed our meal at Korea House. The food was good, the service friendly, we liked the environment, and the price was right.

    I must say, be prepared to wait. There is a small staff. But the wait is worth it.
