I give this place NO stars but it made me put 1 star in order to write my experience. Me and my husband went to go eat here thinking it was REAL Korean food, but this is NOT even close to REAL Korean food. Basically its like someone who never made Korean food before just Google on how to make it without even tasting how its suppose to taste and just sold what they made. THIS IS NOT KOREAN FOOD AND WHEN I TOLD THE MANAGER SUPPOSEDLY THE OWNER HE said it was americanized Korean food. I told him he was suppose to let ppl know that if its not actually Korean food that he should let ppl know that it is americanized Korean food. The name of there restaurant should be different bc ppl are thinking they r coming to a REAL Korean restaurant when its not even real Korean food just ppl making it from watching u tube. The owner is not Korean either and cant cook real Korean food, if u were to eat at a real Korean restaurant and then taste their food u will see the BIG DIFFERENCE. Not trying to be mean but this place is NOT Korean restaurant u will be very disappointed if u go trust me. Me and my husband took 1 bite and left. It was so bad.

I should have written this a long time ago, and it only just hit me after I devoured a to-go order of bibimbap. I love the food here! I really enjoy Korean food, but cannot cook it myself (yup, I let my Korean mother down). X-D That said, Taste of Korea has managed to fill the void in my belly with several of their delicious dishes. They even go the extra mile to give you a great selection of the traditional side dishes (especially if you take your order to go). Sometimes they are busy and the orders take a bit longer to fill, but I always find that the wait is well worth it. Korean food may be a bit intimidating if you have never tried it, but it is super flavorful and healthy. I highly recommend starting with their bulgolgi (marinated beef)--most of my co-workers used this as their gateway dish into Korean cuisine. Bibimbap is a more traditional dish that is also widely adored and very delicious! As a personal favorite, I love love love the rice cake soup (just like Mom used to make!). (If you like it spicy, be sure to slap some gochujan--red pepper paste onto your dish. If you like sriracha, you will like gochujang! )

I must say its pretty disappointing to write this review. I literally live right around the corner from this restaurant. This was our favorite Korean place and definitely 5 stars. Idk if they came under mewanagement or something but its not the same. The quality has decreased significantly while the prices have increased. They changed the spicy chicken and its literally gross now and that used to be my favorite item. Not to mention the small amount of sides you get with it when you carry out now. The quality has diminished greatly honestly there are better quality Korean places here that give you more bang for your buck...dont waste your money.

When we first arrived here in the Springs we tried out this restaurant. - That was 5 years ago and the food was completely different then. We recently went back and the bulgogi was beyond horrible. There was absolutely no flavor to the meat! One of the side dishes we received tasted as though someone had taken sugar and poured it over all of it. The cucumber kimchi was basically cucumber with no spices added. The service was the only thing good about our recent visit. We will definitely not go back.

Years ago I used to enjoy this restaurant. I just came back to visit and was craving some bulgogi. It was completely bland and tasteless. 3 bites in and I gave up, threw it away and went elsewhere. It just tasted like hot sliced meat. I am not a fan of leaving negative reviews but this was just bad. Service was great and the restaurant was clean but that doesnt make me want to eat their food.

The waitress didnt speak much English but I like hole in the walls and language doesnt bother me too much. I have to order in Spanish at most McDonalds anyways. The food was what I would expect at a Korean home. Nothing over the top but good enough for a Korean food craving. Atmosphere was clean and nice. It was pretty empty at dinner time and food came out quickly.

Never had the one off post but had the one kiosk they opened on fort Carson was the most horrible Korean food ever had and I tried twice hoping it was a off day but is tasted horrible... Anyone that likes this place really dont know what they are missing when it comes to real Korean food....

This is not Korean food at all. The bulgogi looked at tasted like it had been boiled. No flavor, stringy, lacked color. Ramen was soggy, no flavor except for intense spice at the end. We spent $50 on take out and it was terrible, most going in the garbage.

Went on a Friday evening early so there was plenty of seating. The service is extremely friendly! We had the combo A - black bean noodles, fried dumplings and sweet & sour pork for $17. It was plenty for 2 people.

Not authentic Korean. Brought my Korean friend here because it was rated well. The staff are Chinese and the food was far from the Korean her family has treated me to. Very disappointed.

Went there after the one on academy turned in to a golden rice. Ah the food was amazing. Not to far from where I live so I will be back! Great side dishes along with a decent size meal!

Tasty food, good service. As others have said, its too expensive ($15 for a fairly simple entree) but its fine I guess. Everything was fresh made and yummy, so give it a try!

Great food! We eat here all the time and have for a few years. We love it. It is a bit over priced but it is good. If it wasnt so over priced we would eat here more often.

My review before was a 5, but now it is a 1. The food quality has become awful. The bulgogi is cheap, fatty, and tasteless. Also, the side dishes seem old.

Food is always fantastic and authentic! By far the best Korean food Ive had in the Springs. A little out of the way but definitely worth the trip!
