Oriental spoon was excellent... I got the beef bulgogi soup with a side of rice and kimchi... $11.49 plus tax and tip...everything tasted wonderful and was presented well. The kimchi was really good, definitely one of the best restaurant kimchis u can find ( most kimchees at restaurants r subpar or even awful). The noodles were perfectly cooked, the bulgogi not too sweet like some Korean places, broth was delicious. Everything really hit the spot on this cold day. While everything is not served as in traditional Korean restaurants (a central dish with all the accompanying Korean kimchee sides), my meal was still enjoyable and I absolutely recommend oriental spoon to anyone and everyone.

Great service,may be a great place for drinks and appetizers, even perfect for who is happy with korean fusion,but not a place for those who seek authentic korean. Their mains dont accompany the traditional courtesy side dishes ( Side kimchi was perfect authentic and great but they charge $2 extra).Their hot teas are good. Ordered udon (bit too salty for my korean standards) and vegetable tofu soup. Overall good experience!

I have been to Oriental Spoon five times so far and have yet to be disappointed. The atmosphere, service, and food are all top notch. Their spicy bul go gi is one of the best dishes Ive ever eaten. Not only does the food taste good, but its plated with the art of a trained chef and looks terrific. I highly recommend the ramen, bul go gi, spring rolls, and any of the teas here.

This place is just great. The food is absolutely incredible and the chef/owner is just a good guy. I called after they were closed one evening because I worked late. After I told him not to worry about it, he insisted I come up and pick something up. I have been at least a dozen times and every time has been a great experience. Love this place.

Im Korean and I love this place! Its got some of the best bulgogi Ive eaten in a long time. The service is great and the waitresses are super nice. The wait is not long, the food is excellent(although it is a bit spicy), and overall I feel that this place is a great idea for a family willing to try new things.

My girlfriend has a gluten allergy and she has several options here. I recommend their spicy chicken or pork Bogoli (I cant spell). Id eat it everyday if I could afford it.They also have non spicy versions and other meats if that tickles your fancy. The prices are reasonable as well. The service is great.

This place is always a chill lunch. Their food is always great and flavorful with great attention to presentation. I absolutely love doing their Ramen noodle cup as spicy as it can go with an appetizer (any of them are great!). The owners are also very nice whenever Ive seen them.

Delicious food and good friendly service. I ate on their patio, so I didnt get to see the inside. I had Tteok (pronounced Duck) fries and Spicy Tofu Bulgogi with a beautiful bottle of Lucky Buddha Beer. Definitely want to go back there for more delicious Korean food.

I have been there a few times since they have opened. Just visited again for modern Korean cousin. To my expectation, I was again pleasantly satisfied. This place is always clean, friendly professional and of the highest standard even compared to Seoul Korea.

Delicious food. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice atmosphere. Loved the udon. My only complaint is the restaurants choice of music. Should be playing authentic Korean music in my opinion. Even K-pop. I prefer not to hear Taylor Swift while I eat.

We had an awesome experience at the Oriental Spoon! Their air conditioning was out but the staff bent over backwards to ensure we had a great experience. Check this place out for great food and wonderful company. We will definitely be back!

I took my 4 boys and it was a great experience for us! We were a bit on the loud side, but it was because we all had so much fun sampling each others food and dreaming about what we will get on our next trip. Cant wait to go back!

Fast and friendly service. A very clean and bright atmosphere. The food was fresh, hot and authentic. The chefs were Korean and the waitress was American. The prices were reasonable.The wife, son and I will go back.

Tteok fries are awesome. The Curry Donkatsu is also very good. My only complaint is that the spice in the dishes is definitely toned down, the curry while rich is much less spicy than other Korean curry I have had.

We love it all here! Jap chae, spicy pork bulgogi, bibimap, gim rolls, beef bulgogi, and everything else weve tried. The service tonight was great and the prices arent bad. It is our favorite restaurant.

Good korean food but if your looking for the traditional korean resturant experience this is not the place. They dont do the normal small side dishes and if you want kimchi you have to buy it on the side.

Korean food! Hot, made to order, amazing. Ive sampled lots of things from the menu and keep going back to try new things. Never disappointed. Dont miss the dumpling appetizer! Unlike anywhere else.

Quick lunch service and great food. Bulgogi bowl (spicy pork) had just the right amount of spiciness. Adding siracha sauce to the egg drop soup was a great idea given to us by the waitress.

Great food in general. The tonkatsu isnt great, but the ssam and bulgogi are astonishing. Excellent vegetarian options as well, with tofu, kimchi and king oyster mushrooms. Good udon bowls.

Food was absolutely amazing. By far one of my favorite restaurants anywhere. The exterior is very unassuming but its well worth the trip.

The best Korean food Ive had. The staff is awesome. Try the Singo Pear juice and the Bibimbap (I like it with extra rice and sauce)!

I love this place. Always great and glad to eat here. Clean reasonably priced Korean & fusion with a modern flare.
