Visited with my husband and sister. Liked the separation for barbecue and regular sections. The portion size is good. We ordered, chicken bulgogi and spicy pork bbq. The food was amazing with quite a number of side dishes. I would definitely go back, to try more.

Last time we came to Koreatown to eat KBBQ, it was fantastic. So much food is included in the combo meal. This time we came for more Korean dishes, whole Korean Fried Chicken, Bossam, Bibimbap, and Soft Tofu Soups (not pictured). Food and service are all phenomenal. Our new favorite Korean restaurant in the valley, will be back!

This is one of the best Korean restaurants in Arizona. The service was so quick, portions are considerable, and the quality is amazing. We ordered a spam tofu soup, a fried calamari, and a mix three tofu soup with brisket, pork belly, and dumplings. I thought with the mix three it would be more expensive but it’s the same price as one protein. I also worried they would put less protein since it’s a mix three but they put a good amount of each. The banchan is fresh. Will definitely be coming back.

The food was decent; the portions were big and the tofu soup was packed seafood, so was the seafood pancake, which was my fav. The service was good, they would come and check to see if you need anything once in awhile.

The food was good and good for sharing since they are giving big portions. And the service was next level, every one was so nice. They served the food fast. And they keep on checking if we need anything else. This is a place that we would love to come back.

Food was unbearably salty and sweet that I could not eat it at all. Like others have pointed out, they charge you 3.5% processing fee if you pay with credit or debit card. Service wasn't great either. After about 20 minutes of putting my order they told me the menu item is no longer available. I'm not coming back here ever. The worst Korean restaurant I've ever been to.

Stopped by during my monthly work trip visit to Phoenix. I wanted Asian so I drove out to Mesa. I was craving Korean soup, so I'm happy to have found this spot. It's a big restaurant with lots of tables and Korean BBQ. I'll give the BBQ a try next time I visit. Service was good, but nothing that stood out. She checked up on me once, and when I asked for my bill. I ordered the Pork Soup Medium with extra pork meat. The soup was good and tasty. The ban chan was ok. I liked the bean sprouts, green vegetable (i think it was spinach), and cucumber kimchee. I was not a fan of the fish cake. Overall, I'd return again. The food was tasty.

Boy, did I miss this place! This was one of my favorite spots when I lived in AZ. Recently, we were "forced" by American Airlines to spend two days in Phoenix, and of course, I had to hit up some of my favorite spots. The last time I visited was nearly five years ago, and I'm so glad the service and quality of food are still just as great. Our waiter was very attentive, and the portions were massive--we even had leftovers to bring home. The place is spacious, clean Nd now rhey offer grill tables as well. I The banchan, jap chae noodles, spicy pork and beef the beef bulgogi were just as delicious as I remembered!

Ok I've been here many times before. Tonight. Was. Bad. And I mean... Bad. I brought my husband and my kids. Let me start by saying Banchan was 4 items... The kimchi was fresh, not fermented at all... The cucumbers were ok, the potato was lacking flavor. Also, once we ordered they disappeared and never checked on us. So no refills on Banchan. The picked radish (wasabi mul) which usually pairs amazing with the brisket lacked flavor and actually had an odd taste. We got the combo for 2-3 people. Ordered ktown short ribs, bulgogi and brisket. The bulgogi was not marinated well. The bean paste stew lacked flavor and the vegetables were undercooked. The spicy noodle dish wasn't very flavorful either. The corn was edible. The seafood in the hot pot was edible. The server came back after we were done to "check" on us. We had to turn off the grill ourselves. I think we had more people checking on us AFTER we were done than during the actual meal. Based off this trip I probably won't be back anytime soon. I'm sad as I used to love Koreatown, recommended it to many and always had it as one of my top Korean restaurants. In times past I have come with my Korean sister and my son... Tonight my husband made a joke that maybe they "dumbed it down" because he was with me.. but tonight. Was. Bad.

Another spectacular meal at Koreatown! I've been on a Japchae kick and Koreatown's japchae definitely hit the spot for me. I love that the japchae is as big, if not bigger than my head! U can't beat the portion size here! It's fantabulous!! The texture and flavor of the japchae was outstanding! Love that they put more veggies and mushrooms in it than another Korean spot that I visited recently. Our servers were nice and upbeat with very pleasant attitudes! For as long as the restaurant has been around, it's very clean, with a relaxing vibe. Looking forward to enjoying another awesome meal here!

We had a party of 23 people celebrating a birthday, and they went above and beyond to accommodate us with the longest table ever. It was a bit tricky for those seated inside to navigate to the bathroom, but we really appreciated their efforts to make us comfortable. The food, as always, was delicious. I was so caught up in enjoying the company that I only managed to snap a picture of the soft shell crab, which was absolutely amazing! Our waiter was fantastic - super efficient from taking our orders to clearing the table for the birthday cakes. Despite the restaurant being really busy that night, they handled everything fast and accurately, which is always a good sign of a legit restaurant. Overall, we had a great time and everyone left with full bellies and big smiles. Thanks to the team for making it a memorable night!

We frequent this restaurant about once every 2 months and we always enjoy the food. We like the free appetizers, the food is usually good and servers are friendly and attentive. Wednesday the 21of February we were the first ones in at 5 PM and ordered the Seafood Hot Pot. It arrived and looked extremely appetizing. There was a generous amount of seafood i.e. crab, shrimp, baby octopus and razor clams which would have been well worth the $50. The veggies in the pot were awesome but some of the seafood was sub-par.The squid and razor clams were good but the Shrimp and Crab were not good at all. When I tasted the section of the crab with the small legs I was extremely disappointed and lost my appetite for the rest of my meal. When the server came over and asked if we were enjoying our meal, I voiced my displeasure to him and he replied " I will pass that on to the chef". My wife continued to eat a bit more then we asked to take the rest home. Overall the soup base was good, veggies great, Octopus, and Razor Clams good, Shrimp and Crab not Fresh. As a side note, when we asked the server for crab claw crackers, we were told, they did not have any. He brought us serving tongs and asked if they would work? Why serve crab claws if you don't have the proper tools to serve it?

Koreatown Choice to eat KBBQ self cook on burners or served cooked and we chose for them to cook and ate family style. Korean Fried Chicken, very good garlic flavor, could have had a little bit more crispy skin Galbi short ribs were flavorful tender and juicy, probably the best entree Bulgogi good flavor but so much liquid almost in a soupy bowl, if it was gravy I would have enjoyed it more Sweet Pork Belly was very bland, probably the most disappointing entree we had, wanted to like it, but was very plain. Oxtail Soup had two pieces of oxtail in it, the soup base was flavorful and delicious Vegetable Japchae was a good dish, nothing mind blowing but good. Had high expectations for this restaurant, a couple good dishes, but a few average disappointing dishes also

Koreatown is probably my favorite place to get Korean food in the Phoenix area. The portion sizes are on the bigger side, so it definitely feels like you get a lot of value for your money when you eat here. The staff is very friendly, very attentive, and very quick. Be warned it can very packed here on the weekends and you might have to wait, even if you are a solo party. It's a good atmosphere overall and I look forward to continuing to eat the delicious banchan here my next visit. I recommend the hot stone bulgogi or any of the soups they offer.

Another Homerun evening by Koreatown My family was in town visiting and I brought them to one of Mesa's hidden gems: Koreatown When you are looking for authentic Korean cuisine to share with friends and family, you need to come to Koreatown. This is my third time ordering from them and they are consistent in their quality & taste. Bone soup with Brisket - this was for my grandma who was sick and she devoured it! I tried some and it hit the spot with having deep umami flavors along with quality protein Hot stone bulgogi - this was the star and everyone loved the fresh flavors Spicy potato noodle - this is one of my wives favorite and she normally does not like cold noodles. The blend of spices and flavor bring out the essence of the noodle Chicken fried rice - another favorite of the table and honestly would never have ordered it! Glad we did and will try the pork next Korean fried chicken 50/50 - they were okay. Having tried others it at least was in the top 5

Came to this spot for dinner on a Friday night at 5:30pm - no wait for KBBQ or tables where you order food. We ordered the raw marinated crab, spicy brisket soup with vegetables, and galbi. The raw marinated crab came in a huge portion, enough for 3-4 people. They provided plastic gloves, as well as a bowl for discarding shells. The flavor was good, sweet and slightly spicy. I personally had severe stomach virus symptoms (a euphemism to put it lightly) the following Tuesday, but still aren't sure if the crabs were related... As for the remaining two dishes, the galbi was very tasty, and our favorite dish of the night due to rich sweet and salty flavor. It was a bit sinewy, with more chewy bits than tender meat. The spicy brisket soup came piping hot - it was packed with veggies, slightly lacking in the brisket department. It does come with glass noodles, something we were not aware of. I felt like it could have been a bit more flavorful and spicy. The sides were as numerous as they were tasty, and the purple rice was good. Overall, very attentive staff, reasonable prices, good portion size, and good place to go if you can't decide between KBBQ and Korean dishes. We probably won't get the crabs or spicy brisket soup again, but open to trying some other dishes on the menu!

Still my favorite go to for Korean food. I always get the hot stone pot with vegetables. $13.99. The server was helpful with my gluten restrictions. Everything was fresh and delicious. The cabbage kimchi , cucumber kimchi , bean spout kimchi were excellent. Some of the sides contained gluten so I wasn't able to eat them. They brought out 8 side dishes. I liked the variety. The restaurant was clean and the servers were friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back.

3.5 stars and could have been a 4 if the wait wasn't so long for takeout! Pretty large Korean restaurant in the AZ International Marketplace plaza next to Meet Fresh. Ordered 3 items to go via phone and they mentioned it would take 20 minutes. After getting there I had to wait an additional 10-15 minutes because they said they were slammed...the restaurant was only half full! Food itself was decent. I enjoyed the seafood pancake and did find there was a good amount of seafood inside vs other spots that may lean more towards the veg. Also got the potato noodles which were OK. Wish there was a bit more sauce. Lastly, we had the sausage veg stir fry which was pretty good but wished there was another protein in it - more of our preference and fault since we chose a sausage dish lol. Lots of veg in that too fried to perfection. Banchan was OK and I do like that they give you purple rice as a choice.

I have been looking for the hotpot mecca, and this is it! I love Korean food and this place is my new go to spot! The staff was friendly, we were greeted as we entered and seated promptly. Our drink orders were taken within a few minutes of sitting down and served quickly. The only negative is that they didn't have Korean beer or any beers on tap. Ironic that they only had Japanese beers. A nice waitress came and took our order, she was friendly and kind. We came for the purple rice, but unfortunately they were out. We ordered two tofu pots, and a tofu hot stone plate, and two large beers. Free appetizers but also ordered edamame. Total price for 3 people $71... nice! This is my new place. Affordable and awesome food! Friendly staff and great service. Will eat here again many times. Thx...5 easy stars !

We had Korean barbecue. The meat was of good quality with great cuts and tasted delicious. They offered a wide variety of side dishes for us to enjoy with our delicious barbecue. The service was top notch! It's the type of service you receive when the employees are happy; appreciate their customers and love the industry they're in. Great environment with good music. The dessert at the end was an unexpected, yet nice surprise. I highly recommend this place!

The meal was an unforgettable experience! The meat was exquisitely tender, which made it a pleasure to eat. The portions were generous. The dessert was a perfect way to end the meal. It was a sweet and satisfying treat that left me feeling content. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal with great service and a cozy atmosphere.

Ktown has come a ways from what they were just a few years ago, and that's a good thing. Whenever I'm craving Korean food, Ktown is in the small mix of options available in Maricopa County. During my most recent visit, I got their 갈비 (BBQ Short Ribs) and 육개장 (Spicy Brisket Soup with Vegetables). The portions at this restaurant is well worth the price you pay. Both dishes came with rice and plenty of refillable side dishes. The Short Ribs were meaty, flavorful, and perfect with a spoonful of rice and kimchi. The soup can probably be shared among 2-3 people. It had a good amount of kick, blistering hot when served, and packed with a good balance of meat and vegetables--all the way I like it served. The restaurant itself is spacious and perfect for both small and big parties. The staff is attentive, kind, and quick. The table we sat at wasn't 100% clean, but with the size of these tables, I'm not surprised some areas were missed. My biggest issue with with Ktown is two things: 1. There's a fine little 3.5% service fee on your receipt, which I'm guessing is for processing a credit card. They should make you aware of this charge, especially when your bill is large. I understand the gratuity for large parties, but this unexpected 3.5% fee seems uncalled for. 2. The bathroom needs better maintenance--I shouldn't have to unwind toilet paper by hand when the roll should be in the toilet paper dispenser. Overall, I'll always consider Ktown when I crave Korean food, but I may pick other Korean restaurants more often now that I am aware of this 3.5% fee.

We came here for dinner and hands down this place was amazing - the portions are huge - the wait staff was so kind - we didn't bbq our food - but it came out to us and was fantastic as if we did bbq it ourselves We ordered the sweet pork belly and bulgogi- the seafood pancake and gyozas - the bonchon was amazing as well - I would highly recommend this spot totally worth it

Coming from California prices, the value here is absolutely mind-boggling. THE highlight: The BBQ combo for ~$100 is easily $100 worth of meat a la carte. But then take a look at what else the combo includes, and it is an insane deal. You get a steamed egg, a hot pot, a noodle dish, and a soup. Not only that, but also corn cheese, AND shaved ice at the end? Service is fast, efficient, attentive, and friendly. Definitely a crazy good KBBQ experience.

This is the only place in AZ where I can find raw marinated crab. Mkt price was $35.99 but they gave a big portion which I loved. They put way too much spicy sauce and it was too sweet for me, but the quality of the crab was good so I ended up taking them home and washing the sauce off. Ban Chan was very good and generous. Purple rice was delicious too. Service was super friendly and attentive. I'll be back for the crab, just know they go heavy on the sauce.

My family and I've been coming here for years and had the WORST experience with staffs. All these years, food has been consistent, but some reason food quality has gone down and received the WORST service. RUDE!!!! Who argues with customers?!!?!!? And serving water ~50%down soft tofu soup. They have offered to make again, but brought SUPER SPICY and SALTY soup that none of the us were able to eat. Never coming here again!

Wow. Just wow. This is probably the best Korean spot at an amazing price. It even beats its main competitor (Jin KBBQ). Their bbq combo is a literal STEAL. The meat comes at an abundant quantity, you have liberty to choose which meat you would like, and the quality is amazing! The combo comes with hot pot, soup, noodles, fried rice, sides, and DESSERT AT THE END! We had the amazing raw marinated crabs... it was so delicious. I literally died on the inside, it was AMAZING. So flavorful and so fresh with an amazing kick of spice. The service here was good and quick. The restaurant in of itself is big so the wait time is shorter than the rest of other restaurants. But omg.... The food is delightful. I will come again. My new favorite spot!

I went here with my friends while we were traveling to Arizona after we went to Hmart, and let me tell you it's the best Korean food we've ever had. There's not much great Korean cuisine in Minnesota and this just best everything any of us has ever tried. Not only that the service was AMAZING. All of us loved our orders and they accommodated us so well especially since we asked for extra banchan cause that slapped too!! Definitely recommend

I've been coming to koreatown for the past few years and came with my family twice recently. The first time we tried some of the noodle dishes. My mom and I got the spicy brisket knife cut noodles while my dad got the knife cut noodles with seafood. Both tasted good but just a heads up that the brisket noodles were REALLY spicy and I was sweating half way through. But still thought it was delicious and I'd get it again. The portions were also large and I took like half of the noodles home. I had a taste of the seafood knife cut noodles too which were good and contained a very generous portion of various seafoods like mussels, shrimps, squid, etc. We then came another time to try the korean bbq and got the small combo which lets you pick 3 different meats for $99 as well as various side dishes. We got the beef brisket, short rib, and ribeye steak and the side dishes consisted of the banchan, rice, salads, steamed egg, corn cheese, spicy cold noodles, a seafood soup, a soybean paste soup, and a shaved ice dessert at the end. So, there was literally a TON of food and I think it was super worth it. We also ordered the raw marinated crab since we had seen a lot of people eating it the last time we came, and it was about $35 for a fairly large portion. The crab was a blue crab so the legs were a bit small and difficult to eat. The flavor though was delicious and spicy, and the crab is really tender. As for the kbbq meats, I thought the beef brisket was just okay but I enjoyed the ribeye and short rib meats. The sides dishes were really good too especially the soups. Overall, the food was quite good but I think a problem with the restaurant is that the ventilation is not great for a barbecue restaurant. I have been to a lot of kbbq places but this was the only time where the smoke is just everywhere and almost blurs your vision lol. Because of this, I'm not sure if I'd come back for the korean barbecue but I will definitely be back to try other dishes!

I had my birthday dinner here last night with my closest family. We ended up ordering almost the whole menu because last time I remembered the portions are a little smaller here. I didn't think it would be big so we had some leftovers to take home which isn't bad.. It's been hard for me to cook lately as a new parent with a newborn.. Service here was amazing. Andrew was our server. I love how he checked on us often. Asked us how's everything, if there's anything else we need, and what else can he do for us.. He didn't check on us just once or twice but so many times. That's what a good server is all about. He made my birthday feel more special.. My family and I enjoyed our dinner here and we will definitely come back and look for Andrew.. They also have options if you want to cook your kbbq or not. The rooms are split which was nice because we didn't want to cook. It was safe for my newborn to come here since most kbbq places you have to cook and it's too smoky which isn't good for my baby.. Until next time

First off service was very good. They made a point to make us comfortable by conversation and provided food very fast. The tables were clean as well as the high chair. Yes we ventured out on a Saturday for dinner with our two kids when it was 108 degrees out. Food was good! We ordered the soy marinated, kalbi and soy garlic whole chicken. I wish it was only half a chicken but o wells. The kiddos really enjoyed the kalbi and ban chan that they served with our meal. This place is nice and I would go again and try their kbbq.

Delicious & Moderately priced with an environment great for large groups. When you walk in, you're introduced by the scent of Korean hot pot and Korean BBQ. You immediately know that they have great food here. We came on a Sunday after an evening event and the restaurant was not super busy, but still bustling with customers going in and out. We chose to sit in the KBBQ section. if you sit there, they require you to order KBBQ dishes, but you can also soup. We ordered the seafood hot pot, a small KBBQ platter, sides of wings, and banquet noodles. They say it is good for 2-3 people, but it felt like it was good for more people. We ate more than we could handle and it felt like we had enough for two full meals for 6 people. Service was phenomenal as well, they were super attentive and helpful.

I was amazed by this place a few years ago and still amazed by their food! I heard they reopened with a different concept and the food is delicious! Be ready for lots of spicy options! There are different combos. In my opinion, small combo can definitely feed more than 2-3 people. Small Combo comes with side dishes, rice, steamed egg soufflé, house salad, corn cheese, option of intestine hotpot or seafood hotpot, option of banquet noodles or spicy noodles, option of bean paste soup or kochi stew and bingsoo. Honestly there were so much food, and the food just kept coming since we forgot everything that were included in the combo! Amazing deal to share with the group!! Soft tofu soups were delicious!! Spicy squid was good, but so spicy so let them know if you want a little less spice. Chicken wings were delicious and you can get the sauce on the side to have it more crispy!! I was disappointed with the seafood hotpot. The soup tasted okay compare to tofu soup and also the udon egg noodles was just not that great. It was huge though! Staff is super friendly! They have a section for kbbq grill and regular table for dining.

At the moment, I think it's the best KBBQ in the East Valley. Before finding Koreatown, we had tried a handful of the places out here and found the quality either needed improvement or just okay. I don't care if a place is AYCE and would much rather have better cuts of meat. While on the pricier side, Koreatown checks the quality box for me. The couple times we have come, we have usually just done A La Carte from the beef options. They have combinations if you prefer, but they generally have excellent quality across the board. We typically order the brisket, bulgogi, and the small cut rib if available. It comes with rice, the house salad, and all your usual banchan. The big negative, and why I didn't give Koreatown five stars, is they only have a few tables with grills. The restaurant has grills, and the other side is tables. Since there are so few grills, it can sometimes be a long wait time. There is ample parking since it's in a big plaza and close to a market if you want to walk around.

Pro-tip: The Korean barbecue small combination says it's recommended for 2 to 3 people, but I actually think it's good enough for four. They have a lot of different banchan available, and you can ask for other items that they might not have brought to your table. Highlights: For the most part, all of the food was delicious. The menu is very extensive and there's a lot of variety. We are really happy with the portion size for family-style eating with big groups and would definitely come again. Lowlights: They didn't ask for spicy level on any of the dishes and some of our table found the soups too spicy. I also wish they advertised what type of noodle was in each type of hot pot because we were hoping for ramen but the seafood hot pot actually came with like an udon egg noodle.

I had a great dining experience here! We got the whole fried chicken and it was so delicious. We split it between two people and we definitely had leftovers to take home! It's super crunchy, but the meat is still tender, and the soy garlic sauce on the side was a great addition. There's a great variety of banchan and they were all really good and unique. Very casual vibe in the restaurant and all the servers were so so friendly! For the two of us, the total came out to $28 with drinks so the prices are fair and worth it for sure.

Found this great tasting Korean Restaurant that's open on a Sunday, right here in Mesa! Delicious the food was tasty and very reasonably priced. The Beef Rib soup I had is to share. The photos in the menu is deceiving. Haha but I still ate it all! Everything was Just delicious period. Clean, nice with an extensive menu. Everything we ordered was done well. Like I was back in Seoul Korea! The whole deep fried chicken was done perfect. Good restaurant and the owners and servers are top notch fast and friendly.

I'm not super familiar with Korean cuisine. I ordered Beef Bulgogi for 21.99. The meat was quite tasty and served with 6 sides. Unfortunately I only liked 2/6 sides, but maybe it's just me. I used scissors to cut the meat down to bite-sized pieces which I think is typical for the dish. Overall, I would've preferred half the portion at half the price because there was way too much food. The ambiance is hip modern with contemporary pop music playing. The service was excellent!

Unfortunately I only took one video and no singular pictures but omg this place is 5/5 stars no question. We got the japchae, kimchi pancake, bulgogi, galbi, chicken fried rice, dumpling soup and calamari. Everything was hands down incredible, it was some of the best calamari I've ever had, perfectly breaded and huge pieces. All of the meat we had was tender, juicy and perfectly marinated. I've never had a kimchi pancake and it was incredible! I wish I could remember our server's name but he was so kind, attentive and delightful. I'm sitting here writing this review eating leftovers and I already can't wait to go back.

I am working around the area this week and was craving some spicy pork bulgogi. In my hometown, there's a spot that serves the best spicy pork bulgogi I have had. I have been all over the country and have tasted the bulgogi, nothing has come close until today. The spicy pork bulgogi here has lots of flavor, not too spicy and the onions were very soft and soaked with the juices. I DISLIKE onions with a passion. If I see an onion it will ruin my meal. Well, just when I thought I was avoiding the onions, I had a chop stick with a tiny slice of pork and a ton of onion. It was really good! The only side dishes I had were the broccoli and cucumbers. I also ordered an extra side of noodles. Everything was good and will definitely be added to my list of restaurants to visit while I am back in Phoenix

I went on a Friday and it was pretty busy. My friends and I ordered golbengi muchim (sea snail? salad), spicy intestine soup, and galbijjim (braised beef short ribs) I think it took about an hour to get our food. The golbengi muchim came out first and didn't come with any noodles, (Usually this dish is served with noodles in other Korean restaurants.) but it was really good regardless I'd definitely recommend this dish. However the other two I wasn't satisfied at all. Intestine soup (gopchang jungol) - very bland. Probably the worst Gopchang jungol I've ever had. It had alot of thick block cut vegetables and udon noodles, but little bit of instestines. This dish is about $46. This is way overpriced and not worth the money. I've had way better gopchang jungol at other places for $35. Do not waste your money on this. Braised beef (galbi jjim) - They used LA galbi meat for this dish which is not what they had in the picture in their menu or the norm for galbi jjim. Also galbi jjim is not supposed to have any soup and it's not supposed to be red.. I was kind of confused if they got mixed up with galbi tang which is similar but with soup. But the server specifically said it was galbi jjim. And the soup was way too sweet. It wasn't the galbi jjim we were expecting or wanting. The service wasn't too great I assume it was because it was a busy day, but our server didn't refill any of the banchans (side dishes) not even once. Besides that the restaurant was clean and I liked how big the tables were. But I don't think I'll come back because I've had better korean food elsewhere and this place is way overpriced. Maybe I should've just done the kbbq instead.
