Korean Grill in Bournemouth

My 3rd time here and the food and service didn't disappoint. It's my go-to Korean grill, and we were given complimentary ice cream after our meal. We had pork belly,steak,prawns,beef bulgogi,egg rice,noodles, etc. All was delicious and fresh. I highly recommend it when in Bournemouth

Delicious food - I really enjoyed my meal here and can't wait to go back. Bit of a weird and inconvenient booking process (you can't book in person, you have to book by phone or online and then wait for someone to email you to confirm), but if you get a table it's a thoroughly enjoyable meal.

We visited Korean Grill for the first time and won't be the last! Absolutely delicious food with a very nice experience. The flawless service was incredible. Well done!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The food is really good and the staff are really nice and helpful.

Very bad experience. I placed an order with this restaurant. But the food was very late. Waited for 2 hours. Very disappointed with the lack of service.No updates or communication from the restaurant. Will not be ordering again.

The staff where very kind and considerate throughout the entire stay we had. Free ice cream at the end aswell. Deserving of 5 stars

Really tasty food at a good price. The kimchi fried rice is a must have and Michelle, our server, was lovely :D

My wife ordered online and waited 2 hours even the food was undelivered. She called them many times in the meantime and they don‘t even pick the call.

1 waited for 2 hours for the food. The food was very cold and tasteless. Could not take single bite. Had to throw it in dustbin. Lost the money and time.

Been to many korean bbq’s in asia but this one is very different. The portions were very small and expensive. The service was also surprisingly slow seeing as that the food comes un cooked, 45~ mins even though there were only two tables taken at the time. One of our orders was also missed. £90 later we still left hungry and not satisfied. The overall experience was not as expected and I would not recommended to anyone who has had a real korean bbq.

Great resturant with good food. Well worth the visit.

Wow!! By far the best Korean food I have had outside of Korea. Absolutely delicious, attentive and friendly service (thank you Michelle!), and generous portions. Will definitely be back.

The BBQ restaurant is great! The steak, pork belly, and marinated beef are delicious. Additionally, the soybean paste stew and Korean fried chicken are also very good. The restaurant is located right in the city center, which is very convenient, and it’s about a 20-minute walk to the beach. It’s a very cost-effective Korean restaurant.

Super yummy food! And the staff are so sweet🥺 loved my time here, would def come again x

Me and my boyfriend visited here for the first time & all the staff and atmosphere is so lovely! Had the best service from Michelle! she’s so sweet & ensured us to have the best and most comfortable time! The food is so yummy, definitely coming back ;3

Wow amazing taste of Korean food here!! Nice selection of meat and side. Think cut pork belly and brisket beef were just like Korean bbq restaurant in Korea! They bring the Korean original tastes in Bournemouth. Rib bone soup Galbitang was also amazing!! Very kind staff and owner of restaurant was sincere providing good food and service. I highly recommend them to enjoy Korean bbq in Bournemouth. Reasonable price too!

What an experience for our first time at a Korean BBQ! We got a last minute reservation when we were staying in Bournemouth for the weekend. The food was excellent along with the service. would highly recommend. The price was extremely reasonable

I’ve eaten at the Korean Grill 3 times now. It has consistently been fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxed and very comfortable. The dishes (both grill and mains) are absolutely delicious and a great introduction to Korean cuisine if you’ve not had the pleasure of trying it before. You can tell the food is fresh and authentic. Grilling your own food adds a great layer of fun and bonding with friends and family. I will always recommend this place and will 100% be returning. Please support this business, they deserve all the recognition and reputation!

super yummy!! Service was great and they were very nice and understanding!!

Sauce is good, service is good, nice resturant

Lovely food, staff were friendly and helpful

I have a great dinner with my friends today in K-grill. The food is amazing. So delicious and the staff is so helpful and polite. They have makgeolli the Korean traditional wine that make me feel so surprise the taste really nice. Will be back soon

Always the best Korean hotspot in town, and one of the staff members Kokoro is so welcoming and very helpful 😁

I had the pleasure of dining at Korean Grill in Bournemouth with a group of friends yesterday, and I must say it was an exceptional experience in every aspect. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that perfectly complemented the exciting promise of an authentic Korean dining experience. The stylish yet cozy interior, combined with the mouthwatering aroma coming from the kitchen, set the tone for what would be a memorable evening. What truly stood out to me, however, was the exceptional level of service we received throughout the meal. The entire staff demonstrated a remarkable commitment to ensuring that we felt comfortable and well taken care of at all times. Our waitress, Michelle, in particular, deserves special recognition for her dedication and professionalism. She went above and beyond, attentively checking on us throughout the meal and offering thoughtful suggestions from the menu that perfectly suited our tastes. Her friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm made us feel welcomed and valued, adding a personal touch to an already wonderful experience. As for the food, Korean Grill truly excels in offering an authentic taste of Korean cuisine. Every dish we ordered was carefully prepared, bursting with flavors that balanced traditional Korean ingredients with modern culinary techniques. From the sizzling BBQ platters to the rich, savory stews and refreshing side dishes, each item on the menu was a celebration of the diverse and bold flavors Korean cuisine is known for. The quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite, making it clear that the restaurant places a high emphasis on freshness and authenticity. Not only did the food and service impress us, but the attention to detail throughout the entire experience also made a significant impact. The restaurant’s team worked seamlessly to ensure that our evening was nothing short of perfect, whether it was refilling our drinks without being intrusive or adjusting the pace of the meal to suit our conversations. It is rare to find such a harmonious blend of culinary excellence and attentive service. Korean Grill is much more than just a place to enjoy great food – it is a destination for those seeking an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you are familiar with Korean cuisine or trying it for the first time, the combination of exceptional service, particularly from Michelle, and high-quality dishes makes this restaurant stand out in Bournemouth’s vibrant culinary scene. I highly recommend Korean Grill to anyone looking for an enriching and satisfying dining experience, and I will certainly be returning in the future.

Best bbq and Korean restaurant in the town. I always come here when I miss the Korean taste. I love the ttoekbokki and beef stew here the best. The service is good too, thanks Phuong for help us grill the beef 👍

I went here with my parents and brother around 2 weeks ago and we loved the everything the food was delicious. The service was impeccable as the waiters would answer any questions that we had about the food and of course the atmosphere was great. This was the first time we went to a korean grill and loved everything about it. Will be coming again with friends.

Fab experience Kind and helpful staff Most importantly, delicious food.

Amazing food and amazing service!

Love the food and atmosphere of restaurant all staff are friendly and the most one with a round face who serves well and gave us a homely environment while dining that’s incredible. And Atlast they are offering free ice cream as a dessert which was so creamy and loved it.😊😊😊😊

i would give this restaurant 10 stars! ⭐️ the ingredients are well-made, clean and delicious especially sauce and side dishes. 🥩🍖The environment of the restaurant is also great and welcoming. The waiters are friendly and very polite. We also Scottish milk ice cream flavored for free and really enjoy it. 🍨 I would recommend this to everyone who loves beef and korean food! I’ll definitely go to this restaurant again 🙆🏻‍♀️🩷🩷

Service is attentive and the food tasted great 👍🏼

Nice food, friendly staff. Quick service. Free ice cream

Lovely meal and staff, and a nice little complimentary ice cream before we left which was great! :)

Wonderful visit, the best Asian food which I had in Britain. It was genuine Korean food, amazing fried dumplings and decent bibimbap. The only disadvantage was the amount of beef in bibimbap. I even tried to have extra meat for extra money but it was impossible 😔 also very good service - pleasant, helpful waiter and low waiting time.

Fantastic food with a great atmosphere. The Japanese girl serving was friendly and explained how to use the BBQ well, even what order the meat should be cooked in for the best results. If you like Kpop there is a TV showing the video of the music being played. Especially appreciated the mix of old and new generations of Kpop. Portion sizes are good and overall the food and experience was well worth the money. It was pretty busy early on so i do recommend booking ahead of time.

Best Korean food we have ever had. The grill experience is must try. Really fresh and tasty meat. It’s a popular place so busy and a bit of wait to get the food but worth the wait. We would definitely visit again.

Every thing is wonderful and they gave us free ice cream and its really nice after spicy and chilly foods🥰

If you want to eat authentic food and drink, you should try here!! Every food is fabulous and delicious. Even if I need to wait a bit long, it is deliciousness worth the wait. If you are lucky, you can get some ice cream..!!

Phuong was amazing and so professional. Food is great and atmosphere so cozy. Thank you guys😊

Oh, the food is so delicious, the owner's service is great and cute, and the staff are so kind!! This is the best Korean restaurant in Bournemouth ~~~ Everyone, go there!!!!!

The pork belly and beef tongue here are really delicious, and I especially enjoyed the black bean noodles. The ice cream for dessert is so refreshing. It's the best.

Lovely food and service! Always a fun experience

The food is so delicious and the owner is so kind. The kimchi is so delicious, yum yum. The rib soup is so delicious, yum yum. I’ll go there often, yum yum.

All the staff were friendly and the food was really delicious.

The staff is so friendly and the food comes out quickly and is delicious.

I really like it. The food is really good and the owner and staff are very nice. Good service.

It is with an absolute regret to give Korean Grill only a star but tonight was supposed to be a lovely dinner partly for my birthday and eating dinner with my two nieces before Summer holiday finishes, there were too many faults, negativities and need such huge improvements. We given the waitress our order at 6:10pm, around 6:45pm waitress told us to put the grill on as the food is arriving in 5 minutes but food didn’t arrive until 7pm. Unfortunately it was a very long wait & we were starving !!! Not sure why it took 50 minutes for raw marinated dishes to come out and side dishes. We noticed there were only 3 ssamjang dishes, instead 5 (as there were 5 of us eating). We got the waitress attention & she replied you only get 3 ssamjang dishes as you ordered 3 plates of meat ( We were very very confused as we came only couple months & 4 of us had ssamjang dish each) as well from many of our previous visits (As there were 5 of us, we had to share the 3 small ssamjang dishes which meant we asked for top up couple times) We had a mix up of the quantities of stew (for some odd reason there were 4 stews ordered instead the usual 1 we always order, we even looked at the order form & even noticed the way 4 was not how my sister writes it) but anyway we had no choice but to accept the order and we told the waitress if it’s ok to have it bagged up & takeaway, Unfortunately the waitress won’t leave it in the kitchen knowing the table had no room whatsoever at all and insisted it has to be left on our table which was rather frustrating as it was crammed as it is and made sense to leave it in the kitchen By 7:45pm, the waitress asked us if we finished eating (in which we said we are still eating) & there were just a small plate of cooked meat leftover which my sister & I were going to tucked into. She then said it’s almost 8pm you got to eat up and pay the bill (WOW WOW)!!! She took my plate & chopstick so I didn’t get the chance to eat the remaining at all. When it came to paying the bill, my sister gave a good constructive feedback & told the waitress that the food arrived 50 minutes after ordering. We had so much food and were still eating but you only gave us 45 minutes to eat our food and rushing us to pay knowing we were still eating. She apologised but I don’t think she really understood it (I/we are aware the grill is only 2 hours slot, but with the food arriving 50 minutes later & had only 45 minutes to eat before told to pay & leave is unacceptable, unfair and pretty shocking especially there were several tables available at that point) They bagged the 3 stew in 1 bag. I decided to take 1 stew out of the 3, so my sister went up to ask for a bag from the waitress & she said sorry we don’t have any bags left. So my sister then went to the other waitress asked for a bag in which she grabbed one for my sister ( and there were plenty of bags therefore not sure why she lied)??? We been to Korean Grill numerous times thoroughout the years, always enjoyed the delicious and tasty food but it is with regret that we won’t come back ever again after tonight visit. Service is absolutely shocking, no common sense whatsoever. Staffs just need to be retrained with better customer service, using their initiative. The restaurant is very very filthy, needs a good dusting, deep clean on skirting boards and as well the toilets. Such a shame as we always loved the food here but the service and restaurant itself is such a big let down

Make sure you have a reservation because this place is absolutely worth it! I came all the way from Southampton just for dinner here, and I can confidently say that the experience was worth the extra train fare. Everything about this restaurant is super great—from the food to the service. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail, especially with the soju and sake being served in specific, beautifully crafted cups. It added a nice touch to the overall dining experience. Highly recommend!

Food was delicious, the young girl serving us was really attentive, she did everything she could to get me a sauce she didn't know about. Nice of them to give us free ice cream at the end of the meal.

Tried here for the first time today, and we will be becoming regulars. The food was fabulous and we love the bbq grill in the table concept. Their homemade kimchi was as good as I've tasted anywhere. The sauces were spot on. The service was exceptional, they couldn't do enough for us. We highly recommend the Korean Grill in Old Christchurch Road.

We didnt have a reservation however were quick to be sitted by the lovely hostess. We chose to order off the menu as opposed to the grill your own meat however we were not disappointed! The restaurant was very busy but our orders only took 20 mins to arrive and we were a happy with the food we almost asked for seconds though were so stuffed by the end of the meal. They also gave us complimentary ice cream (vanilla 2 scoops at the end of the meal) which was a good end to the delicious food. I would definitely try the grill your own meat option next time. Lovely food and fantastic service.

It was the best Korean food I've had in Bournemouth. All the menu items were so delicious, friendly and nice. I think I'll come here often in the future

I am experiencing the taste of Korea that I have missed here. Budae stew is delicious and bulgogi is also delicious. The temperature, taste, and quantity of the food are all perfect. I've been in Bournemouth for a long time and will visit often. Have a nice day today. Thank you.

Waited 1 hour for a non-grilled food menu. No priority over which table comes first. Customer should be informed beforehand for time expectation. How hard is it to make a kimchi soup with steam rice and some fried chicken? I definitely do not recommend dining here or along this street.

Absolutely amazing place! I would recommend this lovely restaurant to anybody. Unfortunately I didn’t get great photos as the food was eaten and enjoyed very quickly. The two servers were lovely, kind and gentle ladies, who definitely deserve appreciation and they have a lot of mine, they were helping us wherever we needed and made us feel so welcomed as they were doing to everyone who walked in, even when there were no tables left due to it being so busy (and rightfully so) the ladies were so kind when communicating with people. The restaurant itself is cozy, comfortable and cute, with great Korean music in the background. The food was out of this world delicious, we had a table grill and had pork bulgogi and spicy squid bulgogi, the lovely server helped us with the grill also. We also had steamed rice, dumplings, kimchi dumplings and kimchi. All of it was outstanding. The kimchi dumplings have my heart! All of this food with very generous portion sizes was definitely worth the money. With quality and quantity. It’s absolutely a good price, not overpriced at all. Overall, the people were lovely, the restaurant is clean, cute and cozy, the experience of grilling your own food was so fun and the food was unworldly! If you’re thinking of eating here, consider no more, just do it. I can’t think of one flaw here, we will be back! I will confidently say one of, if not, the best restaurant we have been to.

Nice food, good service, will go there next time

One of the best meals i’ve ever had, the girl that served us was so kind and welcoming. The food was all fresh and tasted so good, highly recommend trying some of the other dishes we had the glass noodles and they were amazing! Will definitely be coming back, thank you for such a lovely meal

The food at Korean Grill is great. We missed Korean food so much, and Korean Grill definitely brings us back to Korea. We had the kalbi, BBQ pork, fried clear noodles, and dumplings. If we weren't with kids, we would have also ordered the spicy squid for the grill. We loved all the food we ordered. The clear noodles with the slightly sweet sauce are so good, and they also go well with the spicy sauce for the grill. The kids loved the BBQ pork and dumplings the most. The kalbi, with a ribbon of fat, is perfect when eaten with rice and seaweed. Adding a bit of kimchi makes it a perfect match.

Lois was amazing she had wonderful service and very attentive to our needs. Food came out in amazing time! And the food was delicious 10/10!

Been here many times, but was just out for mine and my twin brother’s birthday. Kim was an amazing server and made us feel very welcome. Food and atmosphere was great as always

The Chef & Staff were really kind and the food was delicious & authentic. Would go back again.

The foods are really good. My daughter loves the dumplings very much! And I love those grill meat. We got free ice cream, very nice. We enjoyed having dinner here!

Kim was a great waitress and helped us a lot! The food was very tasty!

First time eating asian food and no regrets. Kim was also really polite and a great server overall.

Best Korean grill in the area. Love the food and prices are so reasonable. 5* well deserved.

Without doubt the best Korean place I've been to. Incredible service (especially by Kim). 6 stars if I could.

It was my first time trying the grill and the staff were very helpful! Can't wait to go again!

Really great food, very friendly sercice with excellent advice also for those not so familiar with Korean food. Frequented also by Koreans, which seems to confirm the authenticity of this place

Absolutely fantastic food at a fairly reasonable price. Wanted more when we finished. Service was incredibly slow sadly waited well over an hour before getting our food and drinks. Restaurant was really busy though. You really do need to book in advance on website. Tried phoning intially but no answer.

Friendly staff and nice food. It was my first time experiencing kbbq so I dont have a great reference point but I very much enjoyed the experience and the waitress was very nice and helpful.

Some of the best food I've ever eaten. A wonderful little restaurant with a great atmosphere and attractive prices. We were served by Kim, who provided amazing service. Will definitely be going again

Would like to thank Kim for the excellent service, food was good! :)

Went there with my wife after reserving a table for dinner. Fantastic food. Loved the fried chicken. Excellent service provided by Kim.

The food was amazing, loved the grill. Our waitress Kim was very friendly and communicative. Would highly recommend.

Kim was kind and superb at Job. Will come back again.

Kim was a lovely host everything was excellent.

Amazing food and the quality of service provided by our server Kim!!

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and staff, Kim who works here was very friendly and made sure all our food was perfect, everything arrived in great time! Would highly recommend!

A Korean restaurant I visited after a long time. Just like a Korean barbecue restaurant. The only other thing is the Bournemouth wind. Minjoo Kim’s kindness is a bonus!

So I broke my foot yesterday and really wanted my favourite comfort food, but they had closed the Deliveroo app as they were busy in the restaurant. I called them and explained and without hesitation they opened the app for me to order then closed it again. Got the food to me quickly, nice and hot! Amazing hospitality, and amazing food 💖

Tasty, worth it. Kim’s service is great. I’ll go there next time.

Excellent food and service, Ms Kim is very nice 🙂

Very nice place with a warm and welcome atmosphere. The food was delicious and easy to cook! We were kindly explained the instructions of the grill by the friendly waitress. The staff there were very nice and helpful! Would definitely recommend!

Kamsahapnida!!! Kim was superb! Recommending us the best dishes to try with a super service and friendly atmosphere. This will be always our place for a special dinner!

First but no last time here. Also If you like spicy, you will find a challenge! Super recommended. Super cute and sweet Kim makes it even better :)

Food is spectacular! Staff is so kind. Place is cosy. I will come here again and again ❤️🙏🏽 Kim has been lovely! 🤩

The food was amazing. I always enjoy it and have come many, many times. This is the best Korean food I’ve ever tried. And Kim was so so nice to us!! ❤️ 구마워요!! See you next time!!

Amazing food and service! Thank you Kim 😃

Delicious food, great service! We were so welcomed by Kim. Try Tofu soup. I’m Korean and it is my fav!!

If I could give 6/5 stars I would.

Kim was our server and she was great ^_^ she was really friendly and attentive. The food was really good I especially enjoyed the Kimchi fried rice

Friendliest staff i’ve ever had and the food was really good - which was also very well priced and relatively cheap special mention to the hotteok 🤞🤞😭

Loved the family vibes the moment I walked in the door. Kim was super nice throughout our stay

Kim was very helpful and kind. Food was exceptional, definitely coming here again on next visit.

Friendly and helpful service! Food is just as amazing and highly recommend! Great value for money too :) Kim was very helpful, thank you for the lovely evening.

I went once last time and said I would come again next time, but I went today and Kim remembered and provided good service. Just like last time and today, you are always so kind and give me bright energy. I want to visit the store again just because of Kim... I ate chicken last time and kimchi stew today, and the food was so delicious. + Boss, if you see this, please give Kim incentives. Really 😆😁

Excellent delivery. As always excellent food, my mouth is still burning from the kimchi, but in the best way!!

Waitress called Kim, was really welcoming and really helpful with the menu and gave us recommendations of what she thought was best, food was really good as well, would recommend

Food was good quality, served quickly despite a full restaurant and reasonably priced. Kim's customer service was amazing and she did such a good job as the only waitress on a busy evening!

I love this place. Staff are friendly and the food is soooo good! Repeatedly come back here and just want to say thank you!!!
