Back at the nation’s capital just for a quick trip to visit one of my favourite peeps in the world, my nephew..He lived in Korea for a few years so I thought Korean food would be a great treat for him tonight. Unfortunately, our preferred restaurant was fully booked but we found this Korean/ Japanese place that took us in without a reservation.The all-you-can-eat option was very cheap. The selections were very limited but one can’t really expect lots of selections and premium ingredients for the very reasonable price. The Korean items were surprisingly amazing! I won’t even recommend ordering the Japanese items except for the perfectly cooked and delicious crispy Gyoza..The ambience was very quirky and the place was very busy and that’s probably why the service was almost non existent. We had to ask for refills a few times and I guess we must have eaten a lot as one of the staff members just turned off our stove even if we wanted to order more. Oh yeah, apparently they ran out of soju? Ummmm…really? A Korean restaurant running out of soju on a weekend, during dinner service? Go figure!.Despite the somewhat lacklustre experience, we were grateful that we were accommodated without a reservation and I got to bond with my nephew even for a couple of hours..If I find myself back in the city, I would go back again to see if that was just an off night for these guys.

Great food. I've tried a bunch of Korean bbq from the greater Toronto area to Ottawa and this restaurant is by far my favorite.The service is great. The staff is really good at what they do. I've been here well over 10 times and I've never had an unpleasant experience here.

Went in February for my birthday dinner. Called to make a reservation for 8:30, I believe they close at 9:30. We, party of 2, arrived ten minutes later due to poor weather conditions making it difficult to find safe parking (that’s on us). Walked in and was immediately interrupted by one of the workers before I could say that we had an 8:30 reservation and give an apology for our tardiness, saying that we could only get one thing off of the menu if we wanted to still eat there. That was fine by us, but the attitude wasn’t necessary. They closed at 9:30. I worked in a restaurant and I understand the urgent desire for people to be out by closing, but it’s not like we arrived five minutes before closing. Anyways, we were seated and served relatively quickly. We each ordered a main dish, a drink and two sides. Both drinks never arrived and both sides never arrived. We were urged to leave around 9:20, and so we got up to pay. They had the audacity to charge us for the items we never received and then ARGUE that we received them. Pointed to our table to show that there were only two empty dishes on it, from our mains. Then, had the audacity to prompt for a tip (I know it’s the machine that now prompts it automatically which is a whole different growing issue, but it adds to the frustration we endured).Restaurant didn’t seem clean. Food seemed safe, but the restaurant itself seemed poorly maintained. Great food, at least the food that was delivered to our table.Will not be returning. Rude and impatient staff that really ruined the night for us.

First and foremost, when all the restaurants in the vicinity were closing at 8pm, Koreana allowed us to come eat, although they were closing within the next 15 minutes. However, one may think 'Ah they are closing early, quality and quantity wouldn't be great', wrong, this place was absolutely wonderful. The Hostess, probably the owner, was absolutely welcoming and an absolute pleasure to talk to, and anything you would expect a Host to do. Thank you for a great 1st experience.The food is what made our evening even more worth the while.An absolute 10/10 for this place and the people who make your dinner amazing.Thank you Koreana.

I’m in the top 10% of Google Restaurant Reviewers! So let’s keep this up. For my Google Review: Nov 12, 2021 - My birthday. My parents said they would take me for dinner if I didn’t have any other plans. And I didn’t. They noted that every year I’m always suggesting Korean food and we haven’t done it yet. So I Googled and picked the restaurant that had the best reviews - Koreana. It turned out to be lots of fun. It seems to be a pretty old restaurant, so it’s got a cosy feel. And there’s a photo of Pierre Trudeau eating there. So I guess it has been there a while. You can order out a card, or all you can eat. So we got the all you can eat. My dad was starting to write down choices but then I said let’s just get one of everything and see what we like. It was all delicious. And you get to cook the meats yourself at the table. My dad said he’s walked past here many times and he wishes he had come in sooner. My parents were both very pleased to have discovered a fun new place. We’ve eaten at the Yangtze restaurant across the street dozens of times. But my parents now can’t wait to come back here. They said they have a friend coming to town next month and we should take him here. As we walked past Yangtze to the car, I joked that the Yangtze staff was looking out the window, going hey, why aren’t they in here?! But don’t worry, we have lots of food love to spread around.

Ordered the all you can eat lunch. You get so much food for the price you pay and everything is amazing! The marinated beef was by far our favourite. Worth a visit for sure!

The food is quite good - especially the bulgogi. Service is extremely quick. A shame that the table burners could not be used, but definitely an easy way to fill your stomach.

My family came to Koreana as we are regulars here. As always and since they have been excellent in the past. We were overcharged in our bill and we didn’t bother checking. We only realized when we got home that we were over charged by the price of an entire lunch buffet. Absolutely disgusted that you would do something like this just to make more money. You will definitely not have my business again.

Came here for lunch and it was quite pleasant.We both ordered sashimi lunch meal and it came with Korean small side dishes. Quite a nice surprise.It seems to focus on BBQ and the menu seem like pre pandemic prices …. $22 all you can eat BBQ lunch….. what a deal….
