All the brilliant Korean restaurants in Riyadh

Seoul

Begin your gastronomic journey among Korean restaurants in Riyadh with Seoul. If the name does half the job of convincing you to try it out, a dine-in experience will seal the deal.

There’s nothing more fun that grilling tender cuts of beef, salmon, or marinated chicken on your own table and eating it fresh off the grill. Korean chicken wings, Red Flame Shrimp, and Bulgogi Beef are a must-try. Add Honey Fig Pana Cotta with Walnuts for dessert and you’re done for the day.

Sat-Wed noon-midnight, Thu-Fri noon-1am. As Sulimaniyah, @seoul_ksa

Koyee Korean BBQ

Korean BBQ is having its moment and Koyee Korean BBQ is setting out the grills.

Known for their hearty soups and mains, you want to reach here on an empty stomach to fully enjoy their dishes. Try their best seller Dolsot Bibimbap – Stone Pot Mixed Rice for mains. To finish off, check out the Mango Bingsoo – a refreshing ice dessert of mango purée with condensed milk, topped with shaved ice and chunks of luscious mango. It’s a textural delight.

Sun-Wed noon-11.30pm, Thu noon-12.30am, Fri 12.30pm-12.30am, Sat noon-12.30am. The Zone Al, Al Takhassousi, Al Mohammadiyyah. @koyeebbq

JeJu Samgyupsal

While hardcore critics may be picky about authentic Korean restaurants in Riyadh, this one makes the mark.

Flavourful chicken, meat, and shrimp, with the option to grill your meats yourself, while a pot of hearty soup simmers on the side, ensures you have a fun dining experience. It’s a small, cosy and intimate place, perfect for when amazing food is your top priority in a no-frills atmosphere.

Open daily noon-2am. As Sulimaniyah @jejurestaurantksa

Korean Palace Restaurant

One of the oldest Korean restaurants in Riyadh, Korean Palace Restaurant veers more towards the cosy and traditional, instead of the posh and fancy vibes that we have come to associate with the newer ones.

With large tables covered with thick red tablecloths and even larger plates and bowls served on them, you won’t question why this place is popular in the Saudi capital at all. People come here for one reason only – the food. The eatery serves authentic dishes like bulgogi, black bean noodles and seafood tteokbokki, and even some exclusive menu options, too.

Sat-Thu 11.30am-3pm; 5pm-11pm, Fri 12.30pm-3pm, 5pm-11pm. Ar Rahmaniyyah

Meatin Grill’s Korean Barbecue

Meatin Grill’s is one of the Korean restaurants in Riyadh you need to visit if you’re just after barbecue, barbecue and more barbecue.

Indulge on starters, side dishes and loads of meats. Choose between various different slices of beef, chicken and seafood, which you cook yourself on a hot barbecue plate in the middle of your table. With enormous portions, it’s great for big groups, when you want to dine with friends and family.

Open Sat-Wed 1pm-midnight, Thu-Fri 1pm-1am. Alyasmin, @meatingrills

Namu

One of the first Korean restaurants in Riyadh, Namu came to the city courtesy of celebrity chef Akira Back, the man behind some of our favourite Asian eats.

Although veering towards the fine dining side of the spectrum, the eatery is still a fun spot where you barbecue your own meats. Here, the meats are carefully sourced, prime pieces of beef, chicken and seafood, grilled over an authentic coal-fired barbecue.

Sun-Thu 6pm-1am, Fri-Sat 6pm-1.30am. The Esplanade Mall, @namu.ksa

OMO-OMO

OMO-OMO, which means OMG in Korean, started off as a delivery joint. It was no surprise when it turned into a dine-in restaurant, thanks to its tempting food.

The eatery has all your favourite Korean eats in one place: rabokki (noodles and rice cakes together), japchae noodles, gimbap and more. The spot also serves sandwiches, snacks and even breakfast. Ready to get wowed?

Open Sun-Wed noon-midnight, Thu noon-1am, Fri-Sat 1pm-1am. Qurtuba, omoomo.sa / @omoomo.sa.

Woo Samgyup

Woo Samgyup is another of the Korean restaurants in Riyadh that’s all about barbecue.

A cosy spot for a relaxed and memorable meal, Woo Samgyup dishes out tender, juicy, and flavourful chicken and meats that are well-marinated. The side dishes are equally rich in flavour. Go for the mixed BBQ for an ultimate feast.

Sat-Wed noon-midnight, Thu-Fri noon-1am. As Sulimaniyah, @wsamgyup.

Young Jae’s

One of the newest additions to Korean restaurants in Riyadh, Young Jae’s is popular for Korean takeaways.

This affordable family-run business specialises in authentic Korean fried chicken that’s hot, juicy, and might we add, addictive. You can find Young Jae’s on all of the regular delivery apps like HungerStation, Jahez and more.

Choose between chicken strips, wings or a half chicken cut into pieces, all covered in the unique, spiced batter. Don’t forget to add the dessert topokki to your order.

Sun-Thu noon-2am, Fri 5.30pm-2am, Sat 3.30pm-2am. hungerstation.com / thechefzco / jahez.net.

HANKKI

If it’s vouched by Korean expats in the city, you know you don’t need to think twice.

Authentic and spicy (as spicy as Korean food can be), Hankki dishes out Korean street food unlike any others among Korean restaurants in Riyadh. Their Korean fried chicken, kimchi, and corndog fly off the kitchen on the regular. Dig into some dakgangjeong, ramen and tteokbokki as well. Don’t miss the radish pickles.

Sat-Thu 11.30am-11pm, Fri 1.30pm-11pm, Al Olaya. hankkisaudi.com
