Editorial Review for Koreana Grill & Sushi Bar – by Tara Fatemi
In Short
A bonsai tree welcomes diners into spacious, elegant and softly lit surroundings. Chinese and Korean artwork adds to a peaceful ambience. A cozy tearoom at the restaurant's rear enables diners to enjoy after-meal drinks or dessert in a more intimate setting. Rich, garlic-sautéed mussels are topped with a spicy chili. Salmon bulgogi (Korean barbecue) is a flaky, char-grilled fillet. The 10-piece Koreana roll combines broiled freshwater eel, tuna, salmon, cucumber and avocado wrapped in seaweed.

I went to a happy hour gathering with some friends from to Koreana, and while we were all delighted by the menu choices, and happy with the food we received, we had the entire experience ruined by the restaurant's dishonest policies regarding payment. We requested that the check be split, but the waitress informed us she couldn't. Furthermore, if paid part with cash, and part with credit cards, there would be a $15.00 minimum charge on the cards (meaning several of us were forced to leave 6.00 or more tips on about 9.00 worth of food. This wouldn't have been so bad if the waitress hadn't brought us a check that had none of the happy hour discounts on it, and charged full prices for menu items that were supposed to be half-price. She even charged us full tax and tip on the items based on what they would normally be priced. In short they were trying to charge us double what we owed. It took about 20 minutes for us to sort out the prices and the amounts we each owed, and the manager even had the gall to come forcefully ask us how we were paying. So be aware that this restaurant is dishonest towards groups and puts customers second. Otherwise, enjoy the food. No complaints there.

I have been to this restaurant quite a few times and have found it to be outstanding. As a date location on valentine's day, it was beautifully decorated with many roses in addition to their usual orchids. The atmosphere is always lovely and definitely makes you feel like you are in a true asian venue. The food itself is excellent. I have especially enjoyed the eel steak on several occasions, and everyone who I have brought their has been extremely happy with their dish. It is a little bit on the pricey side, but the cost is well worth it if you are looking for a nice romantic dinner or just outstanding asian food in a lovely venue.
Pros: Excellent food and service and romantic atmosphere
Cons: A bit on the pricey side
