KOHO Korean BBQ House

This restaurant was my first introduction to Korean barbecue—and it set the standard. From the moment I stepped inside, I was impressed by the inviting atmosphere, attentive service, and attention to detail. The experience is immersive and well-executed, making it clear that quality is a top priority here. While the price point is on the higher side, the exceptional ingredients, generous portions, and overall dining experience more than justify the cost. If you’re in the area and appreciate thoughtfully prepared food in a lively yet refined setting, I highly recommend making a reservation. This is Korean barbecue done right.

Good food, fast service in an expansive setting. You have to walk into the casino and go right to enter the restaurant. Pretty authentic, though would have liked to see more variety in Banchan. I ordered the seafood tofu stew. They put the egg in themselves. Very good.

Excellent Thai food, highly rated exceptional service some options for vegans. Only rated Atmosphere at 4 stars because I need to start putting 5 stars at the most unique or different experiences but this really is an exceptional restaurant directly located in the Live Casino.

Worth the visit! 5-star dining experience. I recently had the pleasure of dining at KoHo Korean BBQ House in Baltimore, and it was an outstanding experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the owners, Nick and Mimi, who made me feel right at home. I explained that I was dining alone Their genuine hospitality set the tone for a delightful meal. I decided to try the beef bulgogi, and it exceeded all my expectations. Very true to the authentic flavors of Korea. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, perfectly marinated, and grilled to perfection. The sides were equally impressive; the eggplant was cooked just right, complementing the bulgogi wonderfully. The house kimchi was a standout—crispy and tangy, just the way I love it. Overall, my visit to KoHo was a fantastic experience, highlighted by the delicious food and the welcoming atmosphere created by Nick and Mimi. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu! If you're in Baltimore and craving authentic Korean cuisine, this is definitely the place to be.

We had an amazing experience thanks to our server, Hanna! She went above and beyond to guide us through our Korean BBQ meal, taking the time to explain everything with such patience and care. From showing us how to properly cook the meat to giving us tips on how to enjoy it the traditional way, she made our entire experience feel special and authentic. Her kindness, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made all the difference. Thank you, Hanna, for making our night so enjoyable — we’ll definitely be coming back because of you!

We came to Koho after gambling, and they are always on point. The service was amazing. She always takes good care of us. I will continue to go there with my friends. Thank you for the hospitality.

I had the most magical experience here at KoHo this evening All of the staff were very friendly, the manager was very professional, and the food was amazing! I ordered the prime rib and marinated short ribs, and Oh My Goodness, it was like I was transported to heaven temporarily. Simon was my server, and he made sure my family and I were well taken care of. I felt so welcome and truly at home here; the sweetness of the employees, the fragrant aroma of authentic Korean cuisine, and the quaint and welcoming cafe in the front of the restaurant make for a delicious experience. 10/10 would recommend to people who haven’t tasted Korean food and to the Korean cuisine veterans alike. I look forward to going again!

Food is underwhelming but better than whatever else you can get in the casino. $40 kalbi was a ripoff. Wish they had better banchan. I need to try their kbbq experience as we just had lunch entrees.

As usual very tasty ribeye and chicken with many different little appetizers. Kimchi and cucumber was very tasty. I like barbecue and they make it really good. All the stuff very kind and nice. They always helpful.

I'm glad I finally got a chance to visit and I was not disappointed! Everything was amazing and we were more than satisfied. There's the option to get the bbq option where the food is cooked in front of you or you can order food from the kitchen. My friend ordered the spicy pork belly, but because I don't eat pork I didn't want my food to be cooked on the same grill. The shrimp bbq was also pretty expensive, so that turned me off from getting it as well. I got the shrimp fried rice which was cooked in the kitchen. It came out pretty fast. It was topped with a fried egg, and man, I have no complaints! It was amazing. For my drink I ordered one of the mocktails. It was on the sweeter side and also very fruity. I'm upset I didn't come visit this restaurant sooner. My friend and I were so impressed with the food and the service. I will definitely be back.

Update: Koho still has the same beautiful standards as a year ago. Hwa Young is an amazing waitress! She was so sweet and we enjoyed her company! Koho is definitely worth it , don't let the price scare you. It's ALOT of food and the dishes are excellent and traditional. If you are looking for amazing service and food to match the same quality, I recommend Koho forsure!

We had a party of 13 on a Saturday night. It was a team dinner. It was loud so difficult to hear everyone in a party that big. However, the food and drink was awesome. The staff was very friendly and ensured we were happy throughout our time there.

The service was phenomenal! It was nice to sit back and relax while the server flipped the meats. They were super friendly! I feel like it's definitely a lot pricier than the typical Korean bbq but it was still really good and their side dishes were super yummy! This restaurant is also inside the casino and was a little difficult to find.

Our waitress was great very attentive and honest about our menu choices. Believe them when they say it's bland lol (beef broth soup, extremely healthy yet unremarkably lacking in flavors), the fried wings are bland as well but the ginger garlic sauce helped a little.. we both ordered chicken bulgogi which was ok. The best dish we ordered was the beef dumplings very meaty very tasty. Clean, inviting establishment and happy staff.. would do again maybe try the bbq setup instead of entrees

Came here with 2 other people late like 10ish and they were open and well staffed. The servers seem liked they just started, fun, fast and professional. All the food and drinks we had were delicious and the portion size is excellent. I enjoy the table side grilling and everything was cooked to perfection! I would definitely come back!

The entrance is a little difficult to see if you're coming in from Live Casino but otherwise, it's engraved in my memory because I will certainly be coming back! The purple drink pictured was a little sweet for my liking but tasty. Their cocktail lists includes many options from different spirits (vodka/gin/whiskey options) to different soju-infused cocktail options. They offer a nice variety of options on the protein front. We tried the kalbi and chadol (brisket). Both were delicious but the kalbi was better than the brisket. The wait staff is very attentive and friendly. They speak both English and Korean well, putting up with my boyfriend practicing his terrible korean. They're open pretty late so it's nice to have that as a late night kbbq option.

Koho is easily one of the top KBBQs. The quality of the meat and the service is outstanding! We went on a weeknight so it was not crowded and our server shared different ways to incorporate the sides and the meat.

My husband and I celebrated a special occasion and we ordered the medium grand combo. It was definitely more than enough (if not too much) for the two of us and everything was amazing! Our server was great and he kept us well paced and changed out the grill frequently. My favorite meat was surprisingly the top sirloin. The others were great too, but for some reason that stood out the most. The steamed egg was good but the soybean soup was on another level (compared to other kbbq places). Yes, the price is higher than most others in the area, but it's definitely worth a splurge for the quality and beautiful ambiance with decor flown in directly from Korea!

Wow! Loved this place and the food was extremely fast and tasted amazing. The staff is extremely friendly and will help you order or suggest options. The place is very clean and does not get Smokey when cooking on grills. They have a small bakery in the front of the restaurant with fun Asian options to try.

Overall: expensive KBBQ, with attentive service, a celebratory vibe, and multistall gendered restrooms next to the casino We went for a celebratory dinner on a Sunday. We were seated right away and had very attentive service from Zach. We enjoyed the ambiance and cleanliness of the location. I like the high ceilings and openness of the establishment because you often can leave KBBQ spots smelling like smoke and meat and you didn't here. The meats were very expensive but very tender and tasty. We got brisket and marinated top sirloin. Although both were tender and tasty, but the top sirloin did not taste marinated at all. We enjoyed the ban chan, but they weren't close to my favorite of all the KBBQ spots we've been to and this is by far the most expensive spot we've been to. The stew was typical, the steamed egg was awful, and the seafood pancake was okay. The seafood in it was really chewy.

First time trying and a wonderful experience! Juni was just fantastic and did a fantastic job as a tour guide through the cuisine. Everything we ordered was delicious as well.

We have been wanting to try this place out. Ever since it was opened in live casino, and we were not disappointed. The only thing to note is if you have a voucher from casino you won't be able to use it here. Because this restaurant is not part of the casino. Following is the detailed review from our first visit: Meat- some of the best quality we've ever had compared to all other Korean style barbecue place. The bakery out front is definitely a plus, made it convenient for birthday celebrations and kids who Just want to grab some sweet treats. Drinks- great soju selections and mocktails. Atmosphere- new, open, clean, and you can barely sense the smokes from all the barbecuing. Service- fantastic, entertaining and super friendly. Shutouts to Suwan & Suzie for the attentive services. we did not send some of the attitudes that you would typically experience from other Korean barbecue places, if you know what I mean. Parking- it's very convenient. You can park in the mall parking lot or the casino parking garage. It's definitely a thumbs up from @winedinenvacay, please keep up the quality of the meat and services.

Everytime I have business to attend to in the area, I make sure to stop at this place. Fantastic food, good atmosphere, and a top notch staff! Special thanks to Juni, our waitress for the evening. Very professional and fun to chat with!

This Korean restaurant is at the Live Casino and Hotel located adjacent to the Arundel Mills Mall. It is the only restaurant that has both excellent food and reasonable prices at this location. Unlike any other business in this entire complex, Koho provides Bonchon ( small appetizers) with your entree for no additional cost!! The Bibimbop was served in a large bowl ( generous portion) and consisted of a soft boiled egg, vegetables, pickled vegetables, and shredded beef. It was served warm and came with a cup of complimentary miso soup. I also had a spicy seafood stew. There were 4 bonchon, kimchi, broccoli with chicken , chicken gizzard and a bean sprout dish. They were all good. The kimchi was very spicy and crunchy, just the way I like it! The bibimbop had the crucial soft boiled egg on top which was done to perfection and served as a sauce for the rest of the dish. The beef and vegetables were cooked properly and flavorful. All of these ingredients are served over a bed of warm rice, however, the meat and vegetables dominated the dish; it was not just a bowl of rice with a small amount of other ingredients on top. The seafood stew was very spicy ( which I like, but be warned, the stew was very hot in temperature too. Don't touch the metal bowl it's served in. It was chock full of squid, shrimp and mussels which were all properly cooked and tasty. Both the bibimbop and the stew were enough for a meal on their own, especially with the complimentary bonchon and miso soup. The bibimbop was $19 and the stew $18, which I consider reasonable given the complimentary items. The service was attentive and the atmosphere is modern. I recommend this restaurant highly ( I loved the lazy Susan in the middle of each table so you could reach the various dishes with out reaching over your companions)

Our waitress Juni was awesome. Food was great, as always. Love this spot. Definitely coming back! Thank for the birthday wishes.

Excellent service and food! I've never had Korean food before and it did not dissappoint.

The service and ambience were perfect. The place of dining and the restrooms were very clean. However, do not order the very expensive wagyu beef ($95). The other cuts are better, ie. tenderloin, at a much cheaper price ($55) with a very scrumptious and delectable taste. I was very disappointed to taste their (most definitely low grade) wagyu with rubber like tendons around it, with the (bland) taste not even close to the Japanese A5 or Australian wagyu. I now wonder if it is at all a wagyu to begin with and just sold at a higher price. If that's the wagyu that they will continue to serve, they should just simply take it off of the listing. I come here often and tip at a very high %, but will definitely not order that meat again.

Wow. Super expensive here. Is it because it's in the Casino and the rent is high? Stopped in for lunch one afternoon. Nice entry way with baked goods, ice cream, and drinks displayed. We ordered cold, buckwheat noodles and stir fried spicy squid. The cold noodle dish was delicious, but the spicy squid dish was a bit watery with rubbery squid pieces. For $38, it wasn't satisfying sadly. I ordered marinated ribs and yukgaejang soup to go. I think there were perhaps 4 pieces of ribs for $45. Those tempting pastries called our names so bought some of those on our way out. The pastries had the KoHo logo on them but unsure if they're made there since they looked exactly like everywhere else. So wanted to like this place since it's so close by, but the prices are just too great. The service was outstanding though, and we loved the gold colored table wares a lot.

summary: feels like a modernized + Americanized version of Korean BBQ which may be a good or bad thing depending on your take. (the banchans, service, and ambiance are a bit different compared to its more traditional counterparts). Located within the Live! casino right by the entrance, Koho is an impressive venue with tons of space and personal grills at each table for gatherings of all sizes. Definitely feels like a glitz and glam version of a kbbq spot and I would say worth trying. details: Koho feels a bit on the pricier side. Their menu consists of a more organized, Americanized breakdown of their items. They have a cocktail/drink menu and their food broken down into appetizers, entrees, and meats. Part of the price premium seems to go into the presentation and ambiance. There's no doubt that everything looked beautiful and the venue was great as well. As someone who appreciates the traditional Korean banchans, I didn't have many gripes with the selection of banchans that did come out. Service was great and speedy. Side dishes were refilled incredibly quickly and they were very kind and attentive. They even maintained the meats from burning on the grill, which for Korean BBQ spots is not a common thing (usually a DIY thing). The reason this spot didn't get that last star for me is because it fell a little short on a few of the flavors. I thought the steamed egg lacked a bit of the flavor and the marinated sirloin fell short in flavor (I couldn't even tell if it was marinated). They were still better than average, but with the premium prices I was paying, I felt like the rating scale should also reflect that. All in all, I enjoyed the experience. Feels kind of like an upscale Korean BBQ spot that would be great for special events or a special night out. I'm not much of a casino person, but it is located right inside the entrance of Live! if that's something that is important to you.

We love it here! Great food, and great drinks! The shrimp fried rice is to die for. Definitely great service food comes out very hot. The ambience is amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant.

If you've never had Korean BBQ, the Koho beef combo is a great way to get the full experience. The meat is cooked at the table in front of you, and you get all the setups while you wait - soybean soup, Kim chee and so much more! The location is just outside MD Live, so you can bring the whole family if you choose. Anf they have a fantastic assortment of drinks and desserts. A MUST TRY!

OMG! Brand new place inside Maryland Live. I had heard several people raving about it during a poker tournament, so off I went during the dinner break. Now I am spoiled with the most amazing Korean BBQ experience and food! I was going to order the Duck Bulgogi, but the waitress was so helpful in explaining that Duck is a kitchen item and not cooked tableside. So I went with the Beef, which was fantastic. Next time though, I will definitely order the Short Ribs, which were even better! Plenty of veggies, Chilis, sauces, and whatnot for table to share, and they will bring more if you ask. Just fantastic all around! Note: the dessert counter in the front register area looks fabulous. But be aware, if you're not familiar: Asian desserts, while gorgeous, are generally MUCH LESS sweet than you may expect...pretty much UN-sweet, if you catch my drift.

This place was so good! It was Tuesday evening when l came here with my friend and we were sat at a large booth. The inside was beautifully decorated. Our server, Zach was very friendly and didn't hover too much but was just attentive enough as needed. We both ordered the hot barley tea while I also got their Violet Butterfly cocktail. It had lychee as an ingredient which is what I was looking for and was absolutely delicious! My friend is a vegetarian even though he chose this BBQ place. He previously got a mushroom dish he enjoyed that he chose again while I ordered their Bulgogi entree. We also got their steamed egg to share. Little sides of potatoes, beans, kimchi and green beans were brought out. All were so good and I loved my entree. The meat was tender and the flavor was perfect. What a great meal and dining experience! It's quite pricey but everything was delicious and I'd come back again to experience their a la carte BBQ.

Nice looking place in the Casino. Server staff handles multiple tables and cooks for each. Due to this, tables are neglected, which was not great service. Food was just ok. Dumplings needed to be replaced as they were stuck to the paper in the tin, and the second round were mediocre. Meats and chicken were very salty and let very bloated. Every item was overpriced by almost double, and it was not great. It is not I place I would ever consider returning to.

A+ for service. Our waiter, Jay, was extremely attentive, professional and helpful. He was not only able to recommend good dishes I wasn't very familiar with, but he also went above and beyond in every aspect of customer service. Literally seconds after being seated, he was there with a smile. The food came out so quickly- definitely less than 8 minutes for everything from the appetizers to the entrees! A+ for ambiance! This place has a touch of elegance! I've been to three other Korean BBQ houses within a two hour radius of this one- this restaurant is on the more upscale side. I would definitely return for a special occasion. You can either access directly from outside or come through Live! Casino for entry. Additionally, there's a cute bakery upon entering and a bar area separate from the dining area with large TVs. A+ for the food! The menu options were plenty! As mentioned before, Jay was able to assist with selection of popular items from customers. We did not get any of the traditional bbq, and all food was made in the kitchen. There are bottomless sides: broccolini, kimchi, bean sprouts, and potatoes all cooked in traditional Korean flavors. The pricing of the options matched the upscale vibe. I did not drink any alcoholic drinks during this visit as we commuted about an hour and had to drive back responsibly, but the drink menu was full of selections that looked promising. I'll be back!

Amazing! I didn't eat much but some of the best chicken wings I have ever eaten. Also, the waiter knew I ordered wrong thing and came back to double check. Manager was also super friendly. Beer was great. Service was awesome. If anything... Have those wet wipes ready for customers. I had to dunk my hand in my water (normal for me). Soft open and easy fix. Other than that, this restaurant is highly recommended!

Fabulous. Went here based on others reviews and boy oh boy I certainly was not disappointed. Probably one of the best Korean restaurants I have been to-- great ambience along with top notch service and spectacular food! Looking forward to returning to try out other dishes!

Last night my boyfriend surprised me with a bunch of treats from the bakery. He brought me one of every macaroon they had (they have a lot!), mochi and a red bean filled bun. Everything was delicious but the macaroons... they were little works of art. Instead of the usual overly sweet ganache, they had a light, airy buttercream that melted in my mouth. I also love that Koho is local, saving me the drive to Ellicott City for Korean baked goods. I'll absolutely be back--next time for the BBQ!

I first came to Koho a few months ago after a late night at work, finding that it was one of a few restaurants still open. While I came for convenience, I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of food and excellent service. I've come back many times since then, largely because the staff has always treated me so well. Food: I haven't had a single mediocre dish here, and my go-to is the dolsot bibimbap - though the bulgolgi (beef), osam bulgolgi (spicy squid and pork), jaeyuk bokkeum (spicy pork), and japchae are all excellent as well. Frequenting as an individual diner, I have not yet tried the Korean bbq here - but I look over at other tables with envy since the meat looks so fresh and the amazing smells just waft over! I might have to try it next time. Service: The wait staff is extremely attentive and always checks in on me - even if I'm not their assigned table (who does that??). They go out of their way to make customers comfortable and are extremely helpful. On several occasions, I've heard staff patiently explaining the menu to other patrons, especially to those who are less familiar with Korean bbq and Korean cuisine. The manager has personally stopped by to ask if everything was going well during multiple of my dine-in experiences. Top notch service and professionalism all around! Koho can definitely count on more of my return visits!

Excellent service and good food! Very nice place. This restaurant would complement Harbor East very well. Pretty much on the expensive side, but so what stop being cheap and, treat yourself!! Shout out to my waiter "Q" very nice and helpful guy! Best waiter that I've had in a very long time

Went here for a cousin's birthday dinner, totally was not expecting much since her choices have been marred by drunkenness *lol*. I was proven wrong because not only was the food fresh and delicious, the staff gave us great service as if we were royalty. Although it's right by the casino, it served as a nice background noise and made us more lively as well. All in all, it was a good night!

Had lunch here with a party of 3. Very warm service and ambiance. Our waiter Jay was excellent - prob the most enjoyable experience I had in the Baltimore area. The food was out of this world as was the experience. Could not recommend it more! Delicious and will definitely return when in the area!

I love the decor of this restaurant. The decorations for Christmas are absolutely stunning. The atmosphere is so relaxing and chill. Young was our waitress and she explained the entire meal display and the menu to us so elegantly. The BBQ is not all you can eat and the prices are expensive for just one round. I have had more flavorful Korean BBQ before. However the drinks were on point. They have a great selection on coffee, desserts and Boba teas. So come on down, spin the wheel and see what you will win. I received 15% off of my next meal. Offer good until 12/31/2023. I'll see you soon!

Great Korean restaurant inside Maryland Live Casino and Hotel. It was my wife's first introduction to Korean food and to my surprise she loved it as she's a picky eater. Service was swift and very professional. Also the wait staff were very pleasant and accommodating to our questions. We'll definitely be back

Our first time to KoHo and we loved it. The japchae was very flavorful and it reminded me of the Filipino noodle dish called Pancit!! The shrimp and marinated short rib was really good. Not only is the food good but the service was excellent. We would come back and have Jay serve us anytime! He checked in with us often and answered all our questions and suggested popular dishes when we were undecided. Don't bother losing your money at the casino, you'll win everytime eating at KOHO. We'll be back for sure!

Excellent service from our server Jay who was patient, polite and attentive. He cooked our Korean BBQ to perfection. I suggest trying the marinated beef short rib. Absolutely filling and delicious. The sides were very well done . Fresh and crispy kimchee. Even the cocktails were good. I also liked the steamed egg and jop chae. Great atmosphere. Expensive but actually worth the money, for once I didn't feel ripped off. We will return.

This place is located inside the casino. It's rather huge on the inside actually and very nicely decorated. I was greeted when I walked in and the guy took my order. I already knew I wanted to order their Shrimp Fried Rice. It was ready very fast! I took my food home and let me tell you....i was the best Shrimp Fried Rice I've ever had!! OMG....what I think was best about it that I had little bits of carrots, zucchini, squash and broccoli. I was very impressed at the flavor and will be going back soon. Also, you can use your casino comps to purchase food.

The restaurant is located inside the LIVE casino, right before you enter the casino area so I was able to take my daughter into the restaurant. Inside looks modern and welcoming. The staff were very friendly, kind and attentive. Our server gave us free steamed egg for my daughter to try. We ordered brisket and marinated galbi. The presentation of the meat is top notch. And the quality was great too. Brisket sauce was especially tasty. Galbi soup was delicious too with rich flavoring. I really liked the seafood pancake here. Most other ones I've tried other places were too mushy but this one was crispy, just the way I like it. I'm looking forward to trying their kimchi pancake. So only complaint I had about this place is their seats. They have their grilling system under the table taking up lots of leg space. My over 6 foot tall husband couldn't fit his legs so had to sit at the end of the table to get some leg room. And I kept banging my knee and couldn't really cross my legs. Overall this place is a great option for Korean food, especially Korean BBQ. I'm looking forward to visiting this place again in the future.

Sometimes, researching and looking for places to eat with 3 or better stars may be a waste of time. We stopped by and found this place in the mall, next to a casino and next to a movie theatre .. @Koho Korean Steakhouse. Food authentic, fresh ingredients, and nice and spicy | 생기 있는 ! And I never had the manager, the assistant manager, and the supervisor ask us how dinner was at a Korean | 한국어 restaurant. Loved the Korean ambiance and beautiful photos!

Always such great service, wonderful accommodations for vegan/vegetarian meals, super clean establishment, we have a 10/10 experience every time!

The food was delicious and our server Stephanie was beyond AMAZING!!!!! She was very attentive with my food allergies and made sure I was safe to eat everything we ordered. My family and I had a very pleasant first time experience here. We will definitely come back!

My mother is Korean we heard this was a good place to eat. Went here and was not pleased with the quality of the food! Been to many different Korean restaurants and their food was good this place the fried rice and the noodles were not something to rave about the juice of the soups was the only satisfying part of the meal

New restaurant at Live Casino! Pricey for ramen but a good addition to their restaurant scene. Staff was very friendly and customer service focused. The manager came to our table to check on us which was cool. We look forward to visiting again.

Excellent service The ladies are friendly and attentive to the customers. The BBQ meats are well marinated balance flavor. The side dishes are good , sweet & sour radish, spicy Jain cjhi & Racine radish. The rice is perfectly moist go well with the BBQ meats. We had Combo A and spicy pork belly. Kim Chi pancake is excellent. Seafood pancake is good but the squid need to be more tender if wrap into the pancake.

Great restaurant at the entrance of Maryland Live! The place was clean, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was legit. Parking is plentiful, considering it is located at Arundel Mills Mall. Enjoy!

Koho Korean BBQ House is a mix of a modern and traditional Korean house. The interior is clean and has an outside patio as well. It's right across the Arundel Mills Mall- walking distance! The staff is so friendly (shoutout to our waitress Stephanie!) and the food is phenomenal. Every combo comes with a steamed egg and dwenjang stew. The side dishes were fresh and tasted great as well.

Super busy!! Wait time varies... first time we went our server was amazing super friendly and bubbly!! Second time our server was super slow and just didn't care too much... but food was great would definitely recommend.
