Korean in Phoenix
Showing 1 - 18 of 18
In what may be the only late-night spot serving flavorful Korean cuisine in the West Valley, this Glendale restaurant focuses on fresh-made and affordable traditional Korean cuisine (and a few Chinese-based dishes with a Korean twist) made with natural and housemade ingredients like kimchi, signature sauces, and homemade noodles. Skip the Korean barbecue dishes and […]
Chodang in Chandler is the ideal spot to get acquainted with Korean food. Their menu of barbecued meats, sizzling bowls of bibimbap, dumplings, and cold noodles will show you the ways of Korean cooking, even if you have to figure out just how to eat it on your own. If you get anything at Chodang, […]
The owners of Mesa’s late-night Korean restaurant Drunken Tiger and the Filipino food pop-up Good Fortune Kitchen have teamed up to bring us Deez Buns. The northern Tempe restaurant offers pho, Korean fried chicken, bulgogi, and more in the form of burger-like handhelds with soft, steamed buns.
Drunken Tiger is like no other Korean restaurant in greater Phoenix. It’s a haven where soju cocktails flow, pop tunes blast, a joyful wall-painted octopus wields a chef’s knife, and chef Justin Park cares more about food being good than traditional. Sure, the old-school Korean classics slap, like fiery tteokbokki and a simple-yet-mean side of […]

Korean food in Phoenix has gone on a helluva run over the past decade. We’ve watched a smattering of barbecue and soondubu joints explode into a variety of culinary subgenres. But through it all (plus a change of ownership), jack-of-all-trades Hodori continues to stand tall as the grand dame of our Korean restaurant scene. It’s […]
Brand-spanking-new Korean BBQ joint with gracious service and fairly good Korean vittles. Suck down a bottle of soju with an OB beer chaser while firing up bulgogi (marinated sirloin), galbi (BBQ ribs), or dwaeji bulgogi (pork marinated in red pepper paste) on a gas grill built into your table. Try a kimchi casserole, fried dumplings, […]

Traditional Korean barbecue, either cooked for you, or by you on one of the gas grills built into the tables. Quality of the offerings here is middle-of-the-road, but they do give you a nice selection of panchan (think Korean tapas) with your bulgogi (marinated sirloin), galbi (barbecue ribs), and so on, and the Korean seafood […]
Cool sushi bar/restaurant serving Japanese and Korean food. The sushi, especially the nigiri sushi, is of pretty high quality, and Takamatsu also offers Korean table barbecue. But the menu is extensive, and this may be your chance to venture into realms of Korean cookery that you’ve yet to explore. A little intestine casserole, anyone? Or […]
You may be familiar with Korean barbecue, but it’s key to note that things are done a little differently at Sizzle. Yes, you can order assortments of raw meats, and yes, there is a little grill at the center of each table. But here, the servers do the cooking. Sit back, relax and enjoy the […]
Opened in Mesa’s Asian District in 2020, The Stone Korean Tofu House is a bright and inviting spot to enjoy delicious Korean cuisine. Here, bright red soup, served in earthenware bowls, hits the table at a rolling boil. As it bubbles away, servers drop off a raw egg, intended for you to crack right into […]
