This restaurant is amazing! Right in town and is a great spot if you want some Korean cuisine. It is right in downtown Bloomington. The service was amazing thanks to our very kind and caring waiters that satisfied all of our needs. The restaurant itself was clean, and inviting giving a great spot for lunch. 5 Stars.

Good Korean food. We got the soft tofu stew and the beef tendon soup. The tofu soup needed a little more flavor. We added some kimchi to give it more of a kick. The tendon soup was good as well but I feel like it needed some Korean radish in it. It was just broth and tendon. You do get banchan which was nice! The people working were nice but had to wait forever to get the check. The restaurant is nice and clean.

You can tell this place really takes pride in their food and service. Everything was top-notch, and I loved all of the eight little appetizers that automatically come with your table. Each one had so much flavor! The kimchi pancake was very delicious and Rich as well as the fried chicken. The soy bean stew was perfect and had a ton of veggies. Really you can't go wrong! The outdoor section is really cute as well as the indoor section.

Another Bloomington gem! Food was awesome - my partner ordered the veggie fried rice and I ordered the kimchi stew and we were not disappointed. My partner who is a very picky eater absolutely devoured the fried rice. They definitely did not skimp on the veggies which is great because it is vegetable fried rice after all! The kimchi stew was so flavorful and I'm glad because I got to take some home for dinner too. They provided some banchans too! The service was friendly and fast enough considering just one wait staff for multiple tables. The place looked like a house outside - it was clean inside. Definitely coming back here for more Korean food. Check them out!

This is probably my favorite place to eat in Bloomington. The owners are the sweetest most wonderful people, the food is incredibly delicious and always satisfying- I always get Korean Gimbop to take home with me as a snack. I love sitting on the porch and absorbing the 4th street vibes... Especially on lightly raining days.

Holy cow was this place fantastic! We ordered a variety of dishes to share and try a bit of as much as we could stomach and had lots to take home afterwards. My absolute favorite was the seafood pancake which was STELLAR! I requested my japchae to be spicy but it was hella sweet. I'm hoping it was miscommunication, because otherwise I wouldn't want to try it sweet! The seafood roll was killer, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called (kimbab I think?) It was similar to sushi, but SO much better. The service was great, the environment was welcoming, and the food was fantastic. Can't wait to go back to B-Town for this gem of a place!

Korea Restaurant is located next door to Burma Garden and across the street from B Town Gyros, with some limited street parking. Korea Restaurant looks like a house by the way. This restaurant also has outside (dog friendly) seating. My husband and I decided to drive over here 20 minutes before closing. We ended up making a to go order in person, getting: Korea Kimbab, $5.99 prior to tax- This came in 11 cut pieces. Inside the kimbab (besides rice) was imitation crab, cucumber, seasoned mushroom, egg pickled radish, pickled carrot and a hot dog. Pretty flavorful and tasty, I'd order this again. Chicken Bibimbap, $13.99 prior to tax- I love bibimbap and usually like to order this at any Korean restaurant. This bibimbap is topped with a fried egg (sunny side up). The amount this dish had was good enough for 2 meals. Love all the elements mixed together (rice, carrots, bean sprouts, radish, egg, chicken). Shrimp Bibimbap, $13.99 prior to tax- I am surprised that the shrimp is the same price as the chicken, but with a smaller amount than the amount of chicken I had. Just like mine, my husband's dish also had a fried egg and the portion size was good enough for 2. Complementary Banchan- I was honestly surprised and delighted to see that the lady who took our order also gave us some banchan, one of the most favorite things I look forward to when dining at a Korean restaurant. We had braised potato (one of my favorites), kimchi, strips of fish cake (another favorite), bean sprouts and what I think may have been sliced yellow radish with chili pepper. ---------------------- (Total= $37.77 after tax) To be honest, I was not expecting Korean food to be good here (sorry to those that live in in this area) but it was pretty good and comparable to Korean restaurants that I have dined at back home in Los Angeles. Price point was fair and service was friendly. When my husband and I came in, we were greeted by a woman by the register. I told her we wanted to make a to go order and she gave us menus right away. If I lived in this area, I would definitely be a regular.
