Soora Korean Restaurant

Amazing Korean food! The flavors are very authentic and the service is fantastic! I will definitely be back. Most menu items include spicy flavors and pork, but there are still other options if you don’t like spice or pork. Cannot stress enough how fantastic the service is!

Review of Soora Restaurant I decided to visit Soora Restaurant after hearing great things about it online. Since it’s known as a popular spot, I was excited to try it out. I went around 4 PM, and the restaurant was pretty quiet at that time. Parking was spacious, so finding a spot wasn’t an issue. First Impressions When I walked in, the restaurant had a very old-school feel to it. It wasn’t dirty, but it definitely looked a bit worn out. The tables, chairs, and even the carpet on the floor all felt dated. These days, there are so many modern and well-decorated restaurants that this place felt a bit plain in comparison. It didn’t give off a particularly cozy or stylish atmosphere, which was a little disappointing. The Food I ordered four dishes: Tangsu-yuk (Korean Sweet & Sour Pork) Gan-jjajang (Black Bean Noodles with Stir-Fried Sauce) Jjamppong (Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup) Yangnyeom Chicken (Korean-Style Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken) Side Dishes (Banchan) Before the main dishes arrived, they served four types of side dishes, and I have to say—they were all delicious! They were so good that my expectations for the main meal went up even higher. Gan-jjajang (Black Bean Noodles) This dish had a rich, smoky flavor with a sauce made from onions, zucchini, and meat. The wok-fried aroma was strong, and it tasted amazing. After trying it, I immediately understood why so many people recommend it. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal! Jjamppong (Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup) The jjamppong also had a smoky flavor, but the broth itself was a bit bland. It wasn’t terrible, but it lacked depth. Adding extra salt wouldn’t have improved it, as it felt like the seasoning itself was just weak. Compared to the jjajangmyeon, this dish was underwhelming. Yangnyeom Chicken (Korean-Style Fried Chicken) The sauce was classic Korean-style—sweet, spicy, and flavorful. One thing to note is that they only serve drumsticks and wings. I personally didn’t mind, but my family was a bit disappointed that there weren’t other cuts of chicken. If you prefer a variety of chicken parts, keep that in mind. Tangsu-yuk (Korean Sweet & Sour Pork) - The Star of the Meal! The best dish of the entire meal was definitely the tangsu-yuk. If I ever come back, it would be for this dish alone! The pork was perfectly crispy, and there was no strange smell or greasiness from the meat. It was simply delicious. However, I did find the sauce to be a bit too thin and watery. I usually prefer a slightly thicker, stickier sauce, but after eating more, I got used to it. It was just a different style than I expected. Final Thoughts Overall, I enjoyed the food, and the staff was very friendly and kind. However, the restaurant’s atmosphere was lacking, and some of the dishes had minor flaws. The gan-jjajang was fantastic, and the tangsu-yuk was absolutely amazing—I would return just for that. The jjamppong, on the other hand, was disappointing, and while the yangnyeom chicken was good, the limited cuts of chicken might not be for everyone. Would I come back? Yes, but mainly for the tangsu-yuk! If you’re planning to visit, I definitely recommend trying it.

I absolutely loved my experience at this Korean restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious—authentic and full of flavor. The staff and everyone there were so nice and welcoming, making the atmosphere feel warm and comfortable. It’s rare to find a place that feels this genuine and inviting. This is hands down my new favorite Korean restaurant, and I will definitely be coming back!

My wife and I went here for a lunch date. The service was quick and friendly. We were both impressed with the immense menu choices. I am happy to say there are great price ranges that should fit most. On average pricing is moderate. We started with pan fried pot stickers, which were prepared perfectly, and were quite tasty. For entrees my wife had the fried prawns and I had the pork stew. Both were wonderfully spiced and prepared. We had plenty to take home for a second meal. Exceptional food and service. Highly recommend!!

Very good Korean food. Friendly, fast efficient staff. Has the home feel of a family restaurant. True the food is not in keeping with authentic spicy Korean food, but they need to appeal to the local taste. Sunk cost wait scale- worth a 30minute wait
