The Korner Store - Reviews

I had the pleasure of trying this restaurant during a private event hosted by the Seoul sisters and the Hoo Lee Gans. The vibe and atmosphere upon entering were quite cool. They offer an extensive drink list, and the skilled bartenders were attentive. The home-cooked Korean style street food dishes were a delight. Although it was a buffet, the food was spot on. I particularly enjoyed the onion pancake, which is deceptively tricky to make. The popcorn chicken was tender, and the kimchi was zesty, firm, and tender. I recommend giving this place a try and exploring their menu.

This place is amazing! We came for a girls night and left feeling like it was a memorable night out. The food is all amazing; we loved the Korean dishes like the Gimbap and the American ones like the Tater Tots and the Tofu Stews. It's super easy to share, though the Kimchi Mushroom dish was harder to share, it was quite the unique dish. The owner came and hung out with us for a bit in the middle too and then gave me birthday shots, which was so much fun! The live DJ was also super fun. On the downside, the food does take a while to come out, and we had to ask about where one of our dishes went, but they all eventually came out. It can also get loud inside. Overall, such a good experience, and we loved how much care the staff seemed to put into making this a great new place to go!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the kimchee fried rice, tteok bokki, and original fried chicken, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious. It's worth noting that they are only open Friday and Saturday nights. The atmosphere is definitely a vibe, and it's great to see late-night energy in Excelsior ✨. The noise level is loud, but you can still talk, and it's suitable for all group sizes.

What a vibe! The food was great, and the service was excellent. You just have to try a so-maek! Or 2!

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely amazing! Every aspect of our visit was fantastic. The recommendations from Dmitri were spot on, guiding us to delicious choices. We savored the flavorful Bokki, Galbi, Kimchi fried rice with beef bulgogi, stuffed mushroom, and the delightful steamed egg souffle. The drinks, including Night Seoul and the barley Soju, were very smooth. Dmitri even treated us to complimentary sugar-free Soju, which was a wonderful surprise. The music and vibe created a very enjoyable atmosphere, and the staff was incredibly warm, friendly, and inviting. We had the best time, thanks to the Korner Krew!

I absolutely love this place! The staff, including Ina and Nick, along with the entire family and team, are the best. You feel like family and are truly taken care of from the moment you walk through the doors of the Korner Store. The food is delicious, and they offer a drink for every mood and preference, from strong and sweet to non-alcoholic options. The music is great, and they host fantastic event nights, such as K-Pop nights, game nights, and even DJ skill-learning sessions. It's a wonderful late-night addition to the Excelsior and definitely worth checking out!

We had such a fun time at the Korner store. The service was amazing and we loved everything we ordered - gyeurin jjim, fried chicken wings and kimchi fried rice. We are definitely coming back!

My experience at this restaurant was positive overall. The food was good, though not exceptional. I particularly loved the cocktail, 'Bora's Dream' or whatever it was called. The service and atmosphere were also enjoyable.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially for groups! The food was wonderful, the staff was outstanding, and they even have a dance floor! It's very kid-friendly, with children enjoying the dance floor. The staff is super dedicated to dietary restrictions; they helped make a non-dairy ube drink by checking ingredients. The veggie pot stickers and seaweed salad are delicious. Parking is easy with free street parking. Overall, it's an awesome place for groups with great food and service.

My experience at this restaurant was super fun! The space had a really cool atmosphere, and the cocktails were delicious. I particularly enjoyed my gimlet, which was very refreshing. My husband tried the kimchi sour, and he found it to be weird yet interesting, and so good that he ordered it again! For food, we had the original fried chicken with three different sauces – sweet and spicy, garlic soy, and yuzu jalapeño – and the kimchi fried rice topped with a fried egg. Everything was so delicious! I'm looking forward to coming back to try more of the drinks and food on the menu.
