Unlike many other east Asian foods which typically followed mass waves of immigration, Korean food took a little bit longer to gain a foothold here in the United States. Thanks to relatable foods like fried chicken, Korean barbeque, and food trucks, Midwesterners have embraced this flavorful style of cooking.
From trendy Korean corn dog spots to iconic Korean BBQ joints, there are so many delicious ways to enjoy Korean cuisine around the city. Let’s dive in.

About: From Korean bbq to noodle dishes & stirfrys, the menu at Min-Ga Korean is perfect for large parties with varying tastes. Min-Ga Korean is tucked away on Bethel Rd, but it’s always fairly busy. And that’s because the food is incredible and the service is just as fantastic. Location: 800 Bethel Rd, Columbus, OH 43214 Website: Min-Ga Korean
About: Serving delicious, authentic Korean dishes, Restaurant Silla is one of the oldest Korean restaurants in Columbus. You can order both in person and to-go. I’m a big fan of Restaurant Silla, but even I can admit that at times, service can be a bit slow. But as long as you go prepared to take things at a slower pace and really enjoy the experience, you’ll have a great day. Plus, it will always be worth a visit for the Korean hot pot, which is near perfection. Location: 1802 Henderson Rd, Columbus, OH, 43220 Website: Restaurant Silla
