New name, new owners, great service and food

by bobt12345

korena has new owners and a new name. The new name is the Galbi House, same location, new owners and a brand new attitude. The food was plentiful and very very good. The service was outstanding and the new owners are going out of there way to make this the best korean restaurant in Nashville.

If you have never experienced korean food, please do yourself and your family a favor, stop in and try a few of the many meals they offer. If this is your first trip we might suggest "bulgogi", a thinly sliced marinated beef that everyone will truely enjoy. There are numerous side dishes so you can sample one or all of them to find one that you enjoy most. My family and friends enjoy them all.

• Pros: great selection of menu items, not expensive for a gourmet meal
• Cons: none

Great Korean Food!

by Sdiver35

After reading the other reviews my wife and I decided we had to try it. The food was delicious and priced very well, and the service was great, unlike another report on this establishment. After all there are ringers on the end of the table to alert the staff that you need something. I appreciate this type of service more than normal american eats where they are always looking at you and seem to ask you questions the moment you take a bite.

The appetizers (ponchon) were delicious and refilled as needed. I spent a year in Korea while serving in the Army and rate this as authentic and well worth the trip!! We didn't try the sushi, so I cannot comment on this portion of the service or food.

If in Clarksville, TN check out Momo's near Ft. Campbell they are a great Korean barbecue too.

Some of the Best Korean Food in Nashville

by thenashvillereview

Koreana is a great place to eat if you like Korean food or even if you have never tried Korean food. The servers don't speak English very well but the food is excellent. If you are expecting Japanese or Sushi this is not a Japanese restaurant. It is a Korean restaurant. It makes me mad when people go to any asian restaurant and think they should get sushi or General Tso's Chicken and when they don't get that they get confused. Get educated about food. There are different types of asian food and Korean is great. Koreana is an excellent example of Korean food.

• Pros: ingredients, selection, authenticity
• Cons: no speaka da english berry well
