My friends and I were happy to meet the cheerful wife who taught us about the food and we applauded the husband who makes his own noodles. The food was very tasty. So glad it is right off of North bound I-275 and Fletcher Ave exit. This will be a frequent stop. They are also open on Sunday after 12pm.

Amazing food! Amazing service! Blown away as the every bite has love and care in it.The husband and wife owned restaurant has had to let go of employees and is running with just them two. Please please come in and enjoy the food and smiles from both of them!

This place does not exist. Really disappointed. I wish they had said it on their website. I cannot believe there was nothing indicating that this place did not exist or had closed down.Edit: their testimonies on their website say “a week ago”.Edit 2: Asked the inn and they told us they were closed for the past 6months.Edit 3: I’m sad. 😥 Was really looking forward to some Korean BBQ.

Great food. I loved all the condiments! Meat is very tasty and kimchi is very very good. I’ve been to South Korea many times and I’ve had Korean BBQ in Gangnam, Seoul and this restaurant comes the closest to good Korean BBQ I’ve tried so far in the USA. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and service is great.

I was told about this place from my Korean barber. They do have a dine in option now which is nice. I had the lunch special bulgolgi. The lunch special had a nice variety of foods and it was all delicious. The owner was very friendly and the food came out quick. I would say the price was very reasonable for the amount of food I got. Ill definitely come back to try their other menu items.

I have always loved my Korean food. Its sad their grand opening was during the Pandemic, but we still went there. The owners are a very lovely Couple. They are funny and take great care of their customers. Their meat portions are big. We couldnt even finish the combo for a $100. To my hubby and I, the price was worth the portions of meat and the customer service was fantastic. If it wasnt too far from us I would go there every weekend.

Excellent food and great, personable service. We were taken care of by the owner and our food was prepared by her husband. Its literally right off the highway so its very easy to go to and there is a lot of parking. They JUST opened up in February and with Covid-19 they were forced to shutdown during the early, critical stages of operating a brand new business. They definitely deserve all the business they can get. Lets show them how caring our community can be! 5/5 and my wife and I will try and come as often as we can!

Great place for Korean food, with plenty of space for dining in.We got to try only a few items since we came with 2 people but everything was delicious.Gal bi is my favorite korean dish and they do it perfectly here, has great seasoning, comes out on hot plate so it stays hot.The Sweet and Spicy Chicken wings are delicious. the wings are jumbo size, they are very crunchy and slathered in this amazing sauce. Dont let the name scare you if youre not of fan of spicy, its not actually spicy at all, it mainly medium sweet. If you want spicy, better ask for some hot sauce on the side.The service is pleasant and attentive. And Im glad to be able to report employees are weaing mask.I very much look forward to coming back and trying out more food items.Interior is very clean and bright. Not the nicest looking interior or exterior either in terms of design. Its a weird setup too, the building is too big for their needs, the left half is the restaurant, the right half is where you enter/exit, theres a big empty room and its also where the bathrooms are located. By the way, if going to the bathroom, the light switches are outside (not inside the bathroom) on the wall next do the door.

The wings were very good. Crispy and full of flavor. I always have to have a bowl of jajangmyeon when I dine at a korean restaurant. Noodles were good, but the sauce was pretty bland. I think the chef watered it down too much. Please use meat broth next time you dilute so it doesnt taste so bland. Its very rare to find a Korean restaurant that makes good jajangmyeon. I generally make it myself, but then I have no self control so thats why I only order for portion control! Ahahaha! They have many other dishes that I would love to try. I would definitely go again to try other foods. Very nice hostess.

Open for dine-in! I went here with my husband today for the first time but definitely not the last time. This is the best Korean food I have ever had at a restaurant (And I have had A LOT of Korean food). The food is authentic, made from scratch, and cooked when you order. The owners take a lot of pride in what they cook and it shows through the flavors in the dishes. They even make their noodles from scratch. The customer service was great too. They are so kind and helpful. I can’t recommend this place enough. You need to try it!

Wow! Is all I can say!My wife and I sat in the parking lot sketched out by the “area” around the restaurant. I pulled up the reviews and they were all 5 star and one said don’t let the outside fool you! It’s great on the inside! And that it was. This husband and wife owned restaurant will having you leaving only figuring out when your next visit was. Due to COVID they had to let all their staff go and now it’s just them two. So please please please come visit and have some amazing food. You can taste the love and care in each bite!We will make this a regular stop for us!

Excellent food, and excellent service with a very friendly staff. Ive only had lunch here (lunch special bugolgi), but Im planning on going back for more visits to try more dishes based on the great experience I had on my first visit. This would be a great place to order a few different dishes with a group of friends and sample them all family style. Go pay them a visit!

Just had lunch with my husband today. I ordered pork cutlet lunch box and my husband ordered bulgogi, marinated beef. The box came with rice, two pieces of dumplings, and several side dishes. Everything was so delicious. There was enough portion for me to take home leftover. The owner is very friendly and service was excellent. I am already planning on coming back with my friends this week.

Visited August 5th and I have to say.... I. LOVE. IT. HERE!!! Authentic and delicious Korean bbq. I came here with my sister and everything was delicious. We ate all the side dishes (usually I dont at other places but they were all seasoned perfectly!) and had grilled meat! The owner helped us grill it and was super attentive the entire time. Portions were great and it was just an awesome experience ! Eat here and support a local business!!!! Their dining room is open and they have delivery options! I will be back!

For all my friends who like Korean food/BBQ, check out Gangnam Style Korean restaurant.I believe this is the newest Korean place in town. Mom and pop charm and service. Great Korean food and BBQ. A little hidden to find, but once you get there the food is great!

I randomly found this place, what an amazing restaurant. I ordered beef soon tofu and Korean style bbq fired chicken. I got a lot more stuff than other places for the same type of soup. And it the soul tastes very flavorful. We love the breading of the chicken and the seasoning is also amazing!The owner said they just opened this February then impacted by the coronavirus. I wish their business can pick up soon. I really enjoy their Korean dishes.PS.They already started dine-in service!They just have some issues to get the google web page updated.

I wanted to find a good Korean restaurant close to me since I recently moved to a new location in town.Conducting my search online, I came across Gangnam restaurant. First thing I noticed, 5-start rating. I said this is it - who wouldnt!Despite being located near my previous home address, I honestly didnt know anything about this particular restaurant; however, I trusted the ratings though.I just finished eating. OMG!! The food was deliciiiiious, mouth-watering, tasty, and very enjoyable to say the least! This restaurant only has two people working there - Husband & Wife. Theyre extremely humble family outstanding people skills - I was there just few minutes picking up the food, mind you.The online menu page/interface could use some improvement, but overall the entire experience was great/excellent!!I wish I could give them 10 starts - this family really deserves it.I recommend this restaurant big time.lol

Frigin amazing! Best Korean BBQ Ive ever had. My best friends mom is from Korea so I basically grew up eating Korean food. Their bulgogi is so good, even after my kids were stuffed, they tried it and ate almost all of it. Plus the employees are super friendly. Soju+beer+BBQ+family..nothing better!

Our new favorite Korean restaurant!! We have been driving from Lutz to Tampa for Sarione and Matoi, but the food here is excellent and much closer to home. The owners are friendly and welcoming and there is rarely more than one group dining in at a time. LOVE THIS RESTAURANT!!

Update!It breaks my heart but this place is closed permanently... The owner could not survive during the Covid shutdown and their business was not able to receive the help from the govt due to some other circumstancesIs this place permanently closed? I saw people who posted comments like 1-2 months ago saying they had great time here. But whenever I drove by this place, it was closed. I dont see any signs, no lights, no people, nothing...! Please tell me if this place has reopened! Please Please Please

Im Korean and this place is our new go-to for fantastic Korean food. This little gem is a little hard to find but totally worth checking out. The last time my husband and I went, we both tried noodle dishes (jajang-myun or black bean noodles, and jampong or spicy seafood noodles) and they were spectacular - we learned that the chef makes the noodles from scratch by hand - and you can tell from the taste and texture! The spicy seafood noodle dish tasted like it had been simmering all day - the flavor profile was outstanding. Weve tried a couple of their other soups too and they were also really great. Even though we were the only patrons in the restaurant, they were wonderful about adhering to all the safety protocols (masks, gloves, hand sanitizers at our table). Before the pandemic, they used to offer an extended lunch menu, but theyve since had to cut back. Im from the Washington DC area and Ive tried many Korean restaurants and this stands with the best. We hope they make it through the tough times because we love this spot already.

We were in the Tampa area this weekend and met our family that lives here at the recently opened Gangnam style Korean bbq. My wife is Korean so we eat at almost every Korean restaurant we come across. This one is as good as any and better than most!The staff is super friendly, the Banchan (the many small korean side dishes that come w the meal) were fantastic and authentic. So much great food, we struggled trying to finish the huge plate of meat that was brought to us. Did I mention the restaurant is not just clean but spotless? Highly recommended.

AMAAAAAZING!My first trip here i ordered kimbap to go so I didnt really have a chance to sit down and eat but I came in again yesterday after my graduation like an hour before closing because another restaurant (which shall not be named) decided to close early.Me, my sister, and my cousin literally talked with the owner the whole night! The service was amazing and the food- DAEBAK 0.0. This is the best korean food Ive ever had and Ive been to four other restaurants in Tampa. I had Jopchae, grilled pork, grilled beef, and tteokbokki and they were all DELICIOUS! Apparently her husband makes the noodles they serve himself! She grilled all our meat for us and they tasted amazing even the left overs the morning after. If you come here make sure to order jopchae and their tteokbokki (I think they serve the best in Tampa). The portion sizes are great we couldnt even finish our food and had to take the rest home.If the owner is reading this: Thank you so much for being so generous with your time and for all the effort you put in to your food and making us feel welcome, you deserve all the business in Tampa and I hope to see you soon :)

If youre wondering, this place is open! So glad I found this place, HANDS DOWN one of the best Korean food if not best in Tampa. Tried a variety of dishes and everything was AWESOME. They serve everything from traditional korean, chinese korean, and korean bbq. I think their specialty is Korean Bbq but havent got to try that yet, but have heard from people who have that its amazing and decently priced. Coming from ny/nj really missed decent Korean food, but this hits closest to home by far. Being closer to north Tampa is another plus since itll save me a 30+ min drive downtown. The owners are super friendly and love to take care of their customers. I really appreciated that with everything going on, the owners were really cautious about contact and super clean, even wiped down my credit card, and packed us extra food. If youre looking for another Korean gem, especially one thats still open, look no further this place is amazing.
