I had an absolutely delightful experience at this restaurant! The service was incredibly pleasant, everything was spotless, and the speed was almost unreal — I blinked, and the food was already on the table! One unique touch is the mini supermarket inside, stocked with items from back home, which adds a cozy, nostalgic vibe. The background music and beautiful decor create such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Now, the food — where do I even start? Every single dish was spectacular. It’s honestly hard to pick a favorite because everything exceeded my expectations. The flavors were rich, authentic, and absolutely delicious. I left feeling beyond satisfied!

This place lives up to the hype! Everything was fantastic from the moment we walked through the doors. They are super friendly and the service is awesome! They have this button at the table that you can “ring” when you’re ready to order or need additional help. It’s more convenient than having to wave down the servers. The food was delicious and flavorful. We enjoyed the little complimentary side dishes that came with our orders. The portions are huge and enough to be shared amongst the 4 of us. The decor is neat and catchy. A trendy Korean/Japanese restaurant here in Coral Springs. We will definitely be back to try more dishes on the menu!

Very unique dining establishment, especially for Coral Springs. Servers were quick. The Korean fried chicken was tasty, crunchy. Labeled as spicy, I wouldn’t quite say it was, but perhaps for the average palate, it might be. Food came quickly, and the table service buzzer worked well. The Korean fried rice was good, but I don’t get the feeling they’re using high quality cuts for the protein. A cool spot, I could recommend checking it out.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’re a family visiting Fort Lauderdale and were craving Korean food—this spot hit the mark! We ordered the sundubu soup, ramen soup, and fried chicken wings, and everything was packed with flavor. Even the grandparents said it was the best food we’ve had since arriving in Florida—and we’ve tried a lot of restaurants! Service was amazing—fast, attentive, and super friendly. They even have a call button at the table, but staff still checked in on us regularly. Great experience overall. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in town again!

Love this place. Great assortment of Korean food. Every time I dine here, there is no variance in the quality of the food. Furthermore, the food comes out in a timely manner. Great assortment of beer. Like that they carry Korean candy and soda.

5 Stars – Amazing Korean Food & Outstanding Service! Korean Namu in Coral Springs is a true gem! From the moment we walked in, the hostess made us feel right at home with a warm and welcoming attitude. Our server, Nick, was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the kimchi specialty soup, spicy wings, beef ramen soup, and galbi (Korean short ribs), and every dish was bursting with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. One of our orders was a bit mixed up because we didn’t fully understand what was in it, but when we brought it up, manager Aaron was incredibly kind and understanding. Without hesitation, he offered to exchange it for another dish we’d enjoy more. That kind of hospitality and care is rare and really stood out. From the food to the atmosphere to the amazing service — especially from Nick — this was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend and looking forward to coming back soon!

THIS PLACE IS A GEM! The service is always amazing and they all go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience. Perfect for a date night or to just hang with friends/family. The food is 20/10!!! I’m obsessed with the kimchi rice and bulgogi! Try it asap!!!

I love this place! Years ago when I went to Japan, they had the same system -there's a button on the table that you push if you want service, and if you don't, they leave you alone! (We only pushed it once to order, so they actually did come around and check on us, as per American culture.) The food was really tasty. We had beef bulgogi and spice on the side, which I needed because it was a little too much for me, but I diluted it in the rest of the sauce. The fried edamame egg rolls were perfectly crisp. The vegetable tempura was a little soggy, but I brought them home to air fry them for a snack and they were gooood. Everything comes with a little capaule of soy sauce with mayonnaise in it, which was a little odd for me as I'm used to just straight soy sauce, but we tried everything the way it was presented, and it was delicious. I also had the pickled vegetable tray which was pretty good except again for the spicy kimchi. I wish I could do spice! They have lots of drinks on the menu. The tables don't have a great finish on the top of them so they feel a little sticky with the peeling varnish. The bathrooms are nice enough. Ample parking out front.

The standout items were the banchan (small side dishes) that came with a variety of flavors, from savory kimchi to crispy, perfectly seasoned vegetables. The bibimbap was another highlight--flavorful, balanced, and served piping hot. The bulgogi was tender and marinated to perfection, and the galbi (Korean short ribs) were juicy and grilled just right. The service at The Namu was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations and making sure our dining experience was seamless. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Korean food or a newcomer to the cuisine, The Namu is definitely worth a visit. With its delicious offerings and excellent service, it's clear why this restaurant has earned a loyal following.

This place has easy parking as it's in a huge plaza with other commercial businesses. I got the seafood udon and my friend got the ramen with shrimp tempura. My food was definitely flavorful with umami. My friends' ramen noodle soup was a bit more bland. Although it's great for when you're sick and it's cold outside. When we first entered we each got a cute sampler plate of kimchi and two other items. When you need service or are ready to order you push a button that is on your booth so the staff comes right to you. I think that's a great method of letting customers have their privacy and autonomy!

Again my family enjoy the experience we drive 45 mts from miami to coral spring the reason is the quality of the traditional Korean cuisine and the costumer service is the best. We know this restaurant from the second month they open and the the chef and his family. Very friendly and kindness if you like the South Korean food this is the perfect and if you never try now is the moment and you never you will regret your decision.

This is our second visit and it was just as amazing as the first visit. The customer service was fantastic. We were seated quickly and explained the buzzer system. Our server was very patient and kind answering my questions about the different drinks they offered. The food came out quickly and it was all delicious. We've definitely found our favorite Korean spot in town.

My friend and I made plans to come here on Christmas Day and it was awesome! I love the decor. Kinda makes you feel like you are in a cute little restaurant in SE Asia. The place was packed as well. The food was fantastic. We tried a few different things. The short braised ribs with the sweet Korean sauce was definitely my fav. My friend tried the KFC and they were also delish. For appetizers we got the fried mashed potatoes and OMG. Amazing! But what we liked the most were the fried octopus balls. It comes with moving fish flakes, super cool stuff I liked this place so much I will probably be back soon as there are a few more dishes I'd like to try.

Honestly can't wait to come back. Really good food. For appetizers we had takoyaki. Then we had seafood pancake, beef bone broth soup, galbi, bulgogi. For dessert we had shaved strawberry ice. It was so creamy, like fresh strawberries and cream. Everything was delicious. We came on a Friday eve and the wait wasn't too bad.

Came here after seeing this on my Tiktok/Instagram feed for a while. Parking is not difficult which is a huge plus! place is actually bigger and spacious than what I saw online. They have a cute mini store inside. It has hello kitty items, cute and kawaii items, Korean skin care/beauty items. For appetizers- We ordered Takoyaki and Kimchi pancake. The kimchi pancake was good but honestly, just okay for me. But the takoyaki... was really good! One of my favorite takoyakis to date! Came in 8 pcs. For main course, we had galbi,yaki spicy cream (rose) ramen and bulgogi tteokboki. They were all AMAZING!!! We wanted to order more but there is only so much our stomachs can handle. The galbi comes with a cup of rice and can be shared by 2-3 people. The galbi was my favorite meal of the night. The yaki spicy rose Ramen, it's something new to me, it had a hint of sweetness to it, which i liked. (Just a heads up for those expecting a more savory/salty take). The bulgogi tteokboki was the chewy type of rice cake. it also had fish cakes, meat mixed with it. For dessert - OREO BINGSOOOOO!!! Staff were amazing and friendly! Looking forward to come here again

We have been here a couple of times now and always a treat for some good Korean cuisine. Tonight after a show we stopped in with friends and enjoyed a great meal. We started with some fried pork dumplings and our entree was the Short rib kalbi in a delicious sauce with onion slivers. The Sake is served piping hot and wondetful. Fast and friendly service and the kitchen puts out some great dishes!

Very surprised to have a delicious Korean place in Coral Springs near to my parents. Living on the west coast for 12 years I'm a bit pickier with Korean food and this place was phenomenal! I just wish I could have eaten more! Had hot sake, spicy chicken wings (wow these were so good!! Must try!!), seafood udon noodles, veggie pancake (very filling), bulgogi, and kimchi fried rice! Will definitely be back again soon!!

The food here is really tasty, and we had a great meal overall. The ambiance is nice--not over the top, but pleasant enough for a relaxed dinner. If you're interested in sampling different dishes, the portions are generous, so sharing is definitely an option, which makes it easier to try a few things without the bill adding up too quickly. I had the short ribs, and they were excellent, cooked just right with great flavor. I also ordered the seafood Korean pancakes and really enjoyed them! My husband enjoyed his bibimbap with bulgogi, and we both left satisfied. My mom came back to this spot bc she loved the bone broth soup. My family loves all the kimchee and sides that come with the food and also enjoyed the cheesy corn, they were delicious. We came with a group of seven, so the tip was included, which made things simple. All in all, the food made it worth coming, and I'd be happy to return!

If I could six stars, I would! The Namu is a Korean Japanese restaurant in Coral Springs. I've heard a ton of people recommend this spot and I've never been in the area to try it out or if I was, I would typically opt for Arun's since I'm rarely here. This time around, we were able to come here for a Saturday dinner. We came during dinner primetime so there was a bit of a wait but it wasn't too bad. They let us know that it was a 30-35 minute wait, took our name and phone number, and we were texted a Yelp link that showed what place in line we were and a wait time that updated constantly. Waiting was easy with a good amount of seating and a little shop to peruse with cute trinkets, snackies, and drinks. After not too long of a wait, we were seated and told that when we were ready to order, to press the call button on the table. Although it was super busy, service was prompt and friendly. The menu is extensive so even if we looked at the menu during our whole wait, we still took time to look at it while seated. We got a mango soju bottle to share and a good amount of food- fried Japanese creant potato croquettes, kimchi french fries, Beef bulgogi ttekboki (w/ udon added on), and the spicy pork belly korean bbq which came with rice + lettuce wrap & spicy miso paste upon request. Prices were super fair for the portion sizes they gave, which were definitely dinner portions. Now for the food... it was some of the best my partner and I have had in a very long time! The flavors were on point, the food was fresh- hot and crisp when it needed to be. Of course, we didn't finish it all so we had a good amount to take home and it's safe to say that the leftovers were great. The only thing that was a bit off was that the Beef bulgogi tteokbokki w/ udon added on we got came with no tteokbokki. My partner and I were confused at first when we were splitting it into our respective bowls and thought it was just hidden within it. But after taking a bite or two, we realized there was no tteokbokki in it. We thought since we ordered udon, it might have replaced it but thought it was weird they'd upcharge $4 for that. We didn't get to ask until towards the end of our dinner since it was busy and we didn't want to make a big deal but when I asked our server at the end, he was equally confused and made sure to help us right away as a tteokbokki dish with no tteokbokki was definitely odd. Thank you so much to Nick for being such a five star server- he was friendly and helpful both throughout the dinner and at the end when there was a bit of a mixup. He checked in on us when he could and made us feel super welcome and even gave his fav recommendations. In the end, we weren't charged for the udon and we were super grateful for their help to clarify the mix up. Basically, TLDR; come to The Namu! They rock. Their food is amazing. The service is five stars. Can't wait for the next time I'm in Coral Springs to come back and try more things off the menu!

Everyone was telling me how great this place was but we had such a horrible time. We went at a weekend lunch. It was not busy at all. We were sat and the hostess said call your server when you want someone, not even, even for a drink! We really couldn't believe that we had to do that. We started to reading the menu before pushing the menu not thinking someone to come say hello. But a button must pushed for that! We ordered the corn and octopus balls. The corn was inedible. We sent it back. The server said "ok" and walked away. I didn't even bother since the experience was so bad already. The octopus balls were good up to par. We got the KFC and they came out cold... when I say cold, I mean refrigerator cold. As if someone forgot about them and left them out without a hot lamp. They were good but cold it was hard to eat. I wish the service was better, pushing a button to even say hello. To bring us cold food. I'm fine pushing a button for help! That's amazing! But to come say hello! Not ok. Sorry guys, not a go.

Deliciousssss food. This spot is great for a casual meal. I love that you can get the waiters attention by pressing the button on the table. You can simply call them once you're ready to order. The beef bugolgi was delicious. So flavorful, juicy, and tender. It's served with all of the staple side dishes: rice, lettuce, kimchi, radish kimchi, and an assortment of sauces. The amount of food you get is also very generous and perfect for sharing. Staff was great and wait wasn't too long for a Saturday night. Will definitely be back!

So we came here for a pregame to our meal at another restaurant. My wife has been craving bibimbap so we drove an hour and half to try it. We couldn't find parking right away which was annoying. But we got in and waited 5 min. We then were seated. We were given an appetizer kimchi, tofu, broccoli and pickled veggies. We then met our waiter after a bit as I guess we didn't ring the bell as they're busy. He was nice. We then ordered bibimbap and 6 piece fried chicken sweet soy. We got the bibimbap. It was average at best. Very disappointed in a stone $16 bowl when there was no crisp and the beef looked dried out. Just wasn't great. Bland. Even with the sauces given to us just wasn't good. We lived in Los Angeles and Korean Town had some balling places. The Korean fried chicken is just chicken wings. I believe there was miscommunication between the waiter and I as I got the wings and sauce on side. These were good and the only reason this place is getting 4 stars. Crispy, sauce was sweet.

this is my favorite place to come and recommend people. My go-to's is usually the Kimchi pork fried rice or the Kimchi pork donburi hot stone bowl. the service in here is amazing whether it's your first or fifteenth time. everyone always is so friendly. is very anime friendly, so any naruto lovers, you're in luck! they also have a little book shop just left inside the restaurant where you can buy themed socks, chopsticks, different types of candy, soju, hair products, etc. 100/10 recommendations as a date night, family gatherings, with friends. bring them all!

I have ordered takeout from here multiple times and have always loved it. Decided to dine in for the first time. We were seated immediately and given a button to press when we were ready to order. The two of us shared everything. My absolute favorite was the sweet soy boneless Korean fried chicken. The sauce was great and the chicken was juicy and crispy. I was hesitant to try the rose ttekboki but I'm glad we did. The sauce was absolutely amazing. I would suggest getting it with ramen because I would have just eaten that. The two things I wasn't the biggest fan of were the cheese corn and beef bulgogi. The corn tasted almost charred and too much on the savory side for me. I enjoy more of a sweeter cheese corn. The beef bulgogi was a big miss. The beef wasn't very tender and pretty bland. Very underwhelming. The restaurant itself is a fun atmosphere with a small shop at the entrance with a selection of snacks and other trinkets. One thing that I did notice was that both the men's and woman's restroom smelled like sewage? Another thing to note is that I don't think the servers will come to check on you unless you press the button. So if refills or napkins are needed, don't hesitate to press your button!

The Namu is a great place for a la carte korean food. I always order the potato croquettes and corn cheese to start because they are delicious. We also got to try the rose tteokbokki which was so much food I even had a huge leftover amount to take home. The pork belly came out with a small plate and burner to keep it warm (such a nice touch). Since the potato croquettes are so great I decided to try them with the curry meal and the combination was SO GOOD! The restaurant has a calm feel to it as they have a lot of common Korean advertisement posters on the walls and even a small section dedicated to a little shop. The staff is always coming around and checking in but if you need anything, there is a small call button at every table which is very convenient.

This is a very fun place. If you want something quite and refined, this is not it. They play K-pop music videos and people are talking and laughing loudly. The portions here are VERY generous. There are Korean and Japanese staples on the menu. I haven't had anything bad yet. I love that you ring a bell to get a sever instead of waiting for them to check on you.

Really enjoyed this place for a group outing. They have a variety of Japanese and Korean food, but more leaning towards Korean. The portions are big for the price point, although still a bit expensive. Ended up getting the Shrimp Tempura udon soup which was good and we shared a kimchi pancake which was flavorful. Service was fine, although a tad bit slow during peak hours. Would come here again.

The food was super authentic and spectacular. I really enjoyed the boneless KFC. The cheesy corn was super tasty and we added bacon, which had an extra layer of smokiness. I tried Donburi for the first time and it might be my new favorite Korean dish. I appreciated the doorbell system for ordering at the restaurant. It's nice to have a waiter/waitress whenever you are ready to go and not have to wait around. The decoration of the restaurant was super cute. My only complaint is that the restaurant was a little warm especially once the food arrived. The food was very hot in a good way and comforting.

Love this casual Japanese-korean fusion place! Great place to laugh with friends while experiencing a little bit of Japanese and Korean food culture. My favorite things about this place was you get to press a button when you're ready to order or need something. It keeps interruptions down and the service was very efficient. The staff could also explain all the dishes and flavorings, very knowledgeable. Everyone we had was delicious; fried dumplings were crispy and fresh, cheesy corn had the best roasted flavor. We then ordered bimbimbap and pork Korean BBQ and it was SO much food. 2 people could easily share these portions. There's also a small Asian shop connected to the restaurant if you want to take some snacks home with you. Great place! Highly recommend!

How you choose to spend your money is your choice, but this was a no for me. First off... everything came out either cold for lukewarm, and it felt like the food had been sitting out for awhile before it got to us. I'm gonna rate each dish... Boneless KFC, spicy: 1/5, I'm pretty sure they just bought bibigo's boneless kfc in the sweet and spicy sauce and heated it up. Maybe... not even heated up properly, just threw it in the microwave and gave it to us. Save yourself half the price and get it an Asian grocery store Mandu soup: 1/5, another one where I'm pretty they just bought bibigo's king mandu, heated it up, and threw it in some store bought pork collagen soup. Green onions for garnish. Save your yourself even more money, and go buy it yourself. Corn cheese: 1/5, tbh, I'm giving this a 1/5 becaue how do you mess that up? The cheese on the top was torched and barely melted, but the rest was just shredded cheese with corn??? Sir??? Throw that shit in the oven???? It's already on a hotplate??? Just 5 mins in a hot oven??? Please? Rose spicy rice cakes and stir fried ramen: 3/5, both dishes tasted fine, but not worth the price. It also came cold, and the noodles were bloated, so that was a clear sign it was just sitting. Pork bell: 2/5, crazy that you can make pork belly dry. The sauce was fine, but it really just taste like they slathered some pepper paste on it and called it a day which I'm not mad about. It was just too much. Overall, terrible experience, and I wouldn't go again

Namu is an intersection between Korean food and fusion. I lived in South Korea for a year and the dishes like Bi Bim Bap are decent here. There are some quirks that isn't authentic in my opinion. Ban Chan is excellent. The mayo with soy sauce threw me off as a dipping sauce. The service was ok. My waitress was excellent but I had to buzz her over after 10 minutes of sitting down with no one coming over before then. She was excellent but she disappeared after dinner so I'm not sure if it was a change of shift. I tipped someone well for the service once I got their attention. As for the ambiance, it's fine. There is a gift shop upfront but it's nothing special. All in all, the food is very good but there are some quirks that threw me off. Maybe because I am a 52 yo who isn't grasping the fusion part. Maybe because I'm a Korean food snob. Idk. Try for yourself.

I had been so happy to try this spot. It did not disappoint. There was a short wait to be seated as it was a bit busy but the service was quick. They have buttons on the table when you're ready to notify the server that you're ready which i thought was nifty. The Korean fried chicken (soy spicy) was 10/10 and the salad they pair it was the dressing is superb. The Ramen was 8.5/10. My kids enjoyed it The Chicken fried dumplings were 7.5/10, they were not crunchy enough for me but the taste was there The Beef Kimchi Rice was a 10/10. It was full of meat and literally could feed 4-5 people with it. Now it was really loud in the restaurant due to the music and just being pretty crowded but the tables were spaced out with My server did go MIA when we were ready to pay and leave so it took a while to get someone to assist us.

Very Slow service, rude waiter, foods were not that good compare to R.O.K. If you consider trying out this place give R.O.K/Kabose a try and see. Horrible experienced overall. I still tip over 20% just because it's the right thing to do, but I would never go back again. I'm not a promoter but this place is bad, I usually don't even do a review.

I finally came here for the first time! We were seated right away at a booth. I thought the atmosphere of the restaurant was great and there is a little shop right inside the restaurant. There is a little bell at the table if you need to grab a server's attention. Now moving onto food, we shared the kimchi pancake, bulgogi beef, and Galbi meat. The kimchi pancake had the perfect crunch to it. I also liked the bulgogi beef and Galbi. The bulgogi beef was not too sweet and came with arugula and onions in it, which I thought added a little different kick to it. The Galbi was soft and chewy - delicious. The meals also came with side dishes, rice, and lettuce wraps. Service was good and prompt. I would come back whenever I crave Korean food again!

It's pretty difficult to find a good asian restaurant around South Florida, but I would say Namu is one of the good ones I like. It's a little out of the way for me, but I would be willing to drive up if I was really craving a good Korean food. It's a good place to go and share food as portions are pretty generous. I really like the spicy pork kimchi!

The allure of The Namu in Coral Springs had been a constant siren call for my cousin and me, our appetites whetted by endless Instagram teases. The journey from Palm Beach was no small trek, but anticipation turned the miles into mere steps as we finally crossed its threshold. Greeted promptly upon entry and guided by the attentive and knowledgeable staff, we were swiftly seated and schooled on the menu's delights, with a novel instruction to press a button on the wall when our decision was reached--a charming touch of interactivity. Debate ensued as we navigated the tempting offerings, eventually settling on the Korean-style Spicy Beef Ramen, Galbi, and an appetizer of potato croquettes. Though not long by any standard measure, the wait felt like an eternity to our ravenous selves. The arrival of the potato croquettes marked the beginning of our culinary adventure, serving as a delightful preamble to the main event. The presentation of the ramen in a steel pot, accompanied by a wooden ladle, promised a traditional experience. At the same time, the Galbi entered alongside a small table fire, igniting not just the grill but a spark of envy in me. The Galbi's aroma and appearance were utterly seductive, challenging my focus on my own choice of ramen. Delving into the ramen, I found it delicious, though my preference for a spicier kick left me slightly wanting--personal pickiness at play. Unable to resist, I tasted the Galbi at my cousin's behest, sampling it solo and as part of a lettuce wrap complete with spicy paste, seasoned onions, and rice. Each bite was a revelation, the meat tender and the spices impeccably balanced, creating a symphony of flavors that elevated the entire meal. Sharing our dishes family-style, we explored the depths of each offering, eventually combining the remnants of our Galbi spices with the ramen broth for a late-game twist that brought the spice level to my ideal. This fusion of flavors satisfied and thrilled me, leaving me eager for a repeat visit. The Namu is a testament to culinary excellence, ideally suited for family outings or intimate dates. Its blend of attentive service, interactive dining, and exquisite flavors crafts an experience that is uniquely satisfying and undeniably repeatable. I can't wait to return and dive deeper into their menu. Coral Springs, you're in for a treat at The Namu!

The Namu was delicious! I took my nieces that were in town along with my sister and her husband. We had a little bit of everything and shared!!! The pork Ramen was really tasty and a big portion. We also tried the udon noodles with vegetables and tofu. My nieces had plain udon noodles and enjoyed it. We also tried the Korean fried chicken (KFC) and it was very crispy but moist at the same time. We also shared the bulgogi friend rice. My family was very pleased and my nieces bragged to all their friends how good it was. The place was packed when we went so you know it is good! They even had a little shop inside the restaraunt and i bought my nieces chop sticks. If you want to try authentic Korean food, I recommend trying The Namu!

Food: Amazing. Fresh and hot. So much flavor and presentation is top tier. Everything was delicious. Menu is wide with so many different options. We can't wait to go back and try something else. I know it'll be good. Atmosphere: Cool vibes. Very cute and clean. And they have a mini section where they sell creams, hair clips, tea sets, etc. super cute. Decorated really nice and it smells good! Service: Although they were busy, they were still attentive. If you want a server, there's a button on the wall that you can press to alert them. I don't know if all the tables have it but it's very cool. I've never seen that in a restaurant so far. The servers were nice and so was the hostess. Overall, it was a really nice experience. We had less than a 15 minute wait and it was a Saturday night. I'm not sure if they take reservations but even if it's a 45 minute wait, I'd recommend waiting because the food is that good. And the portions are GOOD. can't wait to come back.

Finally tried Namu after many recommendations to eat there and it didn't disappoint. Got the Korean fried chicken, beef bulgogi udon noddle and chicken bulgogi. All the food was fantastic, service was excellent, tables have a call button which is super efficient in get attention from staff when needed and allowing you to converse without interrupting when they are not needed. Restaurant has a lot of space, great beverage selection and a small market in front waiting area. Will definitely return and highly recommend if looking for great Japanese & Korean cuisine.

Our recent visit to NAMU in Coral Springs was a mixed experience. Here's a detailed account of our evening: Pork Dumplings:The meal started off on a positive note with the pork dumplings. They were very tasty, with a delightful accompanying sauce that complemented them well.Potato Pancakes: Unfortunately, the potato pancakes didn't meet our expectations. They lacked the flavor and texture we were hoping for. Biop: Similarly, the beaming bop was less than favorable. The dish didn't quite come together for me, leaving much to be desired in terms of taste and presentation. Short Rib: The short rib was the standout dish of the night. It was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. This dish alone made the visit worthwhile. Ice Cream: For dessert, we had ice cream. My wife really enjoyed it, appreciating its texture and sweetness. Personally, I found it didn't taste that good and felt it left much to be desired in terms of flavor. Service: The service at NAMU was disappointingly slow. Despite the restaurant not being full, getting the attention of our server proved to be a challenge. There's a call button system in place, but we had to push it multiple times before anyone responded. At one point, I had to physically get up and find a waiter, which shouldn't happen in a well-staffed restaurant. This aspect of our experience significantly detracted from the overall enjoyment of the meal. Ambiance: NAMU has a modern and spacious interior, though the seating was a bit tight. While there were high points in the meal, particularly the pork dumplings and the short rib, the overall experience at NAMU was marred by the slow service and the less-than-favorable dishes. Improvements in service efficiency and consistency in the quality of the food could significantly enhance the dining experience.

Have you ever wanted some delicious Korean Food and don't want to cook/grill your own food? The Namu is your place! Yes it's further in Coral Springs but you will not be disappointed, go for lunch and you'll immediately be seated where at each table there's a service call button so you can order when you are ready. Joanne was my server and she made some good recommendations I ordered the lunch special Deluxe Bento Box for $24 which included your choice of protein and all the box essentials- shrimp, fish & vegetable tempura with chop chae noodles it was delicious! The lunch comes with Korean appetizers and a bowl of miso soup. The Namu has good dining space even for groups of 8. They also have a small corner market to breeze through while waiting for your meal. The Namu is definitely one of my favorite spots for Korean food and I'll be coming back for dinner next!!

I've had better Korean food. Inside, a lot of tables, and we were brought to a big one with friends because we had expected 8 ppl - quick and simple at lunchtime, no wait. Service was accomplished by a button on the table which would call our server over (the sign above our table showed which table rang last). The table itself was large and wooden - and sticky. Lunch specials were simple - jap chae bowl with beef bulgogi was excellent on the jap chae, beef was a little skimpy and tough, but it was the lunch special so I suppose for value it was ok. The miso soup the kids enjoyed with the lunch special. The bi bim bap had a bunch of American veggies like lettuce and carrots in a stone pot. The beef there was tough and not juicy like fatty beef would be. They would've been better off giving the ones in the ban chan on the table - those were better than expected and would've been much better on the bi bim bap. Kim chi was not bad, though. Small store upfront, too, if you wanted to buy any little Korea-themed toys or tchotchkes. Also be careful - our party (larger?) added the gratuity automatically. And they still had an extra tip line as if it wasn't included.

I have never been to a Korean spot before and I was finally able to change that when visiting Namu! Thankfully I went with someone experienced in all things food to guide me on some great recommendations! We started off with the Korean fried chicken and it was super flavorful and delicious. The sauce was very sweet and had a little spice to it that it was addicting. I would definitely recommend ordering again and it even comes with a little salad on the side with a tasty dressing. For main courses we ordered the Hot Stone Pot Bibimbap and another dish which both were such different and interesting flavors. The bipimbap was definitely the dish I preferred just because of the huge variety of flavor in every bite. I especially loved the mushrooms and egg it was topped with. I would highly recommend stopping by Namu if you are in the mood for Korean food and not sure of a good spot!

This place has a lot of great dishes. Today we tried the creamy yaki ramen with fried chicken, last time we had it the spice level was intense so we requested the dish be made on the mild side this time. The portions are huge and is definitely a shareable dish. The chicken fried rice was flavorful to be a fried rice, it had more of a Smokey flavor and also a pretty good portion. For dessert we tried their Oreo BINGSOO which was nice and fluffy. No complaints. We'll be back. Overall, 5 G's.

This place is AWESOME. My wife and I came here looking for good Korean food and we were not disappointed. Immediately seated at lunchtime on Sunday of a holiday weekend. The booths have a call button for ordering drinks/food which I really liked. The menu has lots of options. I ordered the rose tteokbokki and really enjoyed it. I will say it isn't very spicy at all, so if you want it "traditional" I'm sure if you ask they can light it up for you. They also play Kpop music videos which we really enjoyed. Service was quick and great. I will absolutely come back here.

The Namu is a hidden gem in Coral Springs. After moving back from Orlando, I was craving something similar to Domu and this takes the cake. We went on a whim so to seat us took maybe 30 minutes. I got the Hakata Donkotsu Ramen and soy sweet 10 piece bone-in wing and everything was perfect. I got the Ramen with chicken and it came out hot and so flavorful. The wings were my favorite parts of the entire meal. I recommend this place 1000 times over. You get a lot for the price so you will definitely have left overs. Service was excellent. The restaurant was clean and staff were very kind and nice.

Acceptable spot for Korean food. The boneless friend chicken was good, though the spicy is not very spicy at all. The seafood pancake was mediocre! The bulgogi beef was fine and the gable was all right as well. The black bean noodle was mot good. Service was a bit sloppy given that it was not busy!
