Kyung Ju Restaurant

Right off of the 826 in North Miami and federal Hwy is Kyung Ju. There aren't oo many Korean restaurants around. It's a casual and cute place to get decent Korean food. They have your traditional dishes. Also on this street are a few asian stores, reataurants. I think there might be an asian gorcery store or two. Pros: Plenty of parking they have there own parking lot. It is safe. more

Wow, I read the bad review and almost didn't go. My suggestion; go and judge for yourself. That's exactly what I did, and since then, it's turned into my favorite place. In my opinion, you can't completely judge a restaurant on the first try. I understand that consistency is key, but in reality, it is possible to have a bad experience in a very good restaurant. I enjoy the casual yet intimate ambiance. Each table is separated by wooden walls which makes it very comfortable. The service is always very friendly. I'm usually a very harsh critic with authenticity in foods, but I can honestly tell you, this was very authentic and very good. Try it for yourself, you'll see. more

My wife is Korean. We know the food. Have even been to the real city of Kyung Ju. Walking in here, the place looks right. Except that at 8:30 on a Friday night we were literally the only customers in the place. Should have been a hint. Sorry to say, this is not Korean food. Or it is just the worst Korean food we've yet run across. Best guess is the kitchen is full of non-Koreans. No Korean cook could be this far off. Not just inauthentic. We are used to a little Americanization in some Korean restaurants. The food here is just lousy! Also very expensive; most dishes 50% to 100% more than we usually pay in GOOD Korean restaurants in other US cities. Korean food is incredibly wonderful. This place's misrepresentation of it is an incredible shame. more
