There are a shortage of decent restaurants in this area, especially decent Asian restaurants. Forty years ago, Italian restaurants were exotic and the few remaining Pennsylvania German (Dutch) restaurants were dying out. Over the last 20 years, a few Asian restaurants have come in gradually. We now have a few average Japanese restaurants, a lot of poor to fair Chinese restaurants and thats about it. Now we actually have a few Korean restaurants, and apparently, the area now has the clientele to support them. I would judge Korealicious to be excellent. Korean food is hearty, spicy and fragrant, based upon vegetables, pickled vegetables, rice, noodles and local ingredients. While I am not Korean and am really not able to say what is authentic, the food here seems authentic to me. The restaurant is small, service is accommodating and pleasant and I often see other Korean and Asian people dining here, which is a good sign. Eating here is relaxing, with hot tea and chilled water available on a nearby table. Try the Bibimbop, a hearty meal with a delicious mixture of vegetables, crispy rice, a fried egg, a small amount of meat, with side dishes of several varieties of kimchi, served Korean style. (The host will advise you to mix it up thoroughly with a spoon; the result is delicious). Korealicious is located in a small outdoor mall. A few doors over is a Korean/Asian grocery store which sells fresh Kimchi and other Korean staples. There are a number of websites popping up which will explain the basics to you. Still, you have to taste to enjoy).

Lovely inexpensive food, casual atmosphere, friendly staff. Whats not to love? Everything tasted fresh, and a big variety of dishes was on the menu. It is very casual (like serve yourself water in plastic glasses casual) which keeps prices down. Our friends came with a toddler and the toddler was accommodated nicely and without fuss. I did not try any fusion foods yet and will be coming back for those. Definitely will be back and definitely recommend. (If you have a choice of how spicy you want your dish, keep in mind "spicy" is very hot. Unless you are sure that you take your dishes spicy in Asian restaurants, dont get it spicy.)

This place just grows on you! There are few items here that I dont like, the galbi being NUMBER ONE on my yum list The service has always been prompt, and friendly. The food is always cooked fresh and its not laden with MSG and other additives that majority of Asian eateries add to their food. Great portions, and I highly recommend coming with someone. Order multiple items and sample a bit of everything. I will share, that an ex-navy dined next to me and he was stationed in Korea. He was happy to say that this was as close to the real deal as you can get.

The best compliment I can give this place is that its like eating at your grandmothers house. My first visit to Korealicious happened during a heavy snow storm on Valentines Day and they were the only place open. I had no idea what to order, but was guided through the menu by the owners. Ive had everything on the menu, but the Bibimbop is my go-to dish. Wonderful flavors and fresh ingredients make the dishes a treat each time I visit. Dont forget to BYOB and try the wonderful corn tea that the owners make.

I stumbled upon their website by chance and am glad I did. I used to live outside Atlanta and had many Korean restaurants to choose from. We ordered dinner for takeout and were very pleased. The dishes were tasty and featured fresh ingredients. My wife ordered the squid and I had their signature noodle dish. The portions were nicely sized and the prices were right.

This place is an asian-fusion restaurant with a heavy Korean emphasis. They serve up the classics, like some amazing bulgogi, but they also have some crazy unique takes. Burgers, tacos, burritos, can all be found on the menu. Its hard to find authentic Korean cuisnein in the U.S. and this place is far from traditional, but its a great place to get that taste of Korea.

My absolute favorite restaurant. The family that owns and runs it are great people, and the food is delicious. They are very accommodating of vegetarians and will make most of the dishes vegetarian if possible upon request. I make everyone I know come eat here and they all fall in love and come back on their own.

I read great things about Korealicious in the local paper. Its a tiny, tiny place, but the food was excellent and the service was friendly. I have not eaten much Korean fare, so I cant vouch for its "authenticity", but the Yangnyum Chicken was amazing. Ill definitely make an effort to eat there again.

I lived in Korea for a year, and many of the dishes are very authentic. Since it can matter, the proprietors hail from Daegu. Dishes will come to you sizzling in the cookware, the way its meant to be. I highly recommend.

There arent many Korean restaurants in the area. This is out of the way but you shouldnt be deterred. Its has a limited menu and seating but the prices and quality are great and more than make up for it.

Dol-sot bibimbap was excellent. Side dishes were so good, I cleaned them out! Husband loved the spicy chicken burrito so much, he got another one to go and had it for dinner!

Great Korean food for dine-in or take-out. However, its tight quarters, so dont plan to bring a large group.
