I am Korean and have been looking for some great Korean restaurants in South Florida (Miami area) for some time. I do culinary work, so I am very critical and have high expectations of Korean restaurants as I compare their taste and quality to my own. I have gone all the way up to Broward and have been to All You Can Eat to traditional BBQ at the table to Michelin Star restaurants. I want to say that The Korean Chef is now my favorite Korean restaurant and is a hidden treasure that needs to be discovered through word of mouth. Everything that they serve is picturesque beautiful with presentation and bursting with flavor and quality. You will have no issues with their dedicated parking and you should not have problems with wait times. You have beautiful paintings from the owner’s brother, that are works of art that add ambience to this very modern Korean restaurant. All of the staff are very attentive and their attention to detail is extraordinary. You will not be waiting for drink refills or extras from the kitchen. Every staff member goes out of their way to enhance your dining experience. If you are lucky, the owner and chef (Ms. Uri) will come out of the kitchen and take the time to visit every table and talk to the customers. The Korean Chef, along with her other restaurant KimBop are an extension of her passion in cooking and bringing authentic Korean flavors to our growing community. You cannot beat the very reasonable price and the quality is exceptional and you will never need to worry about quantity as you will have unbelievable portions. A picture is worth a thousand words and here are the hand made fried Pork Mandu, homemade Kimchi Jjigae soup and 24 hour marinated Beef short rib Galbi from the grill with all of the perfect banchan accompaniments. I would give this restaurant higher than 5 stars if I was allowed. Please support this exceptional local restaurant as you will not be disappointed and spread its name through word of mouth.
This place is just what I was looking for! The Korean food here is authentic and delicious. A nice variety of banchan are included with the meals. I love that it includes a pancake and dipping sauce. The quality of the ingredients are excellent too. The Korean donut was perfect and the best I have ever had. I will be coming back and telling my friends to try this place. This is from someone who has been to Korea multiple times, and has spent more than a month there enjoying kimchi stew, soft tofu stew, and cold noodles there almost every day. Although the Kimchi Jjigae here is simple and delicious, and I will come back to order it again, I do wish they would add soft tofu stew and naengmyeon to the menu. A note about the more refined atmosphere here: It seems like many Korean restaurants these days just play k-pop top 40 on a loop, but here there are no TVs or music videos. Instead there is artwork on the walls, and the music is Korean but more ballads or OST type songs. Thank you for being different.
Went yesterday with my nephew for the first time and it was a wonderful experience! The food was fantastic. We used to go to this place in Doral that was called bistro bulgogi but it closed down after Covid. We have not been able to find a good Korean spot until now. So happy we found the Korean chef. Service was great, I read some of the reviews saying they took long with the food but we didn’t have an issue and you can tell they are trying to be on top of their service. Prince was our waiter and he was wonderful! This is definitely going to be a regular spot for us !
