Reviews of Korea House

Nice mood. food is just okay. If you want great Korean food, There are lots of better places you could visit. Location is not ideal. Hanok is not that traditional compare to the real hanok.
Coffee House Mary´s
Really nice fine dining experience! The food, service, the place, everything was so great. Must go if you wanna try Korean royal cuisine.
Christian Saager
Traditional Tea Ceremony. The cultural dance by one lady was impressive. After the 5 min dance, tea and delicious sweets were served. You can choose between real chairs and sitting on the flat ground.
Shelly Dias
We loved the traditional music, dance, seating, and food. The dancer was phenomenal! She was like one fluid motion, and her expression never changed. The desserts were beautiful. We were allowed to discover the grounds as well, which were equally good. If you want Traditional Korea, this is a great place to be!

My friend took me here and treated me to traditional Korean tea, and it was quite an experience. The ceremony was really interesting, I’ve never seen anything like it. The deserts were incredibly scrumptious, every single thing tasted great, especially the omija jelly stick. A thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable experience.
