Absolutely delicious Korean food in a clean casual restaurant! The bulgogi was flavored perfectly, nothing was over seasoned or salty. Kimchi was very mild, and great for noobs. Loved the dumplings too!
We ordered the pork bibimbap, the beef bulgogi lunch special, tofu stew, the rice cake appetizer, and the kimchi pancake. Our favorite was the bibimbap! Food came really quickly, which was great. One of my favorite Korean places in the area.
This Korean restaurant has a short menu with options for protein. The seating area is casual and clean and the service is friendly and unobtrusive. There are two bathrooms (men and women, but they are single rooms so it doesn't matter). Bibimbab bowl comes out burning hot- be careful! (That's the way it should be!)

For starters the dumplings were amazing!! A bit small but flavorful and perfect.
The lemon ginger iced tea was SOOOO good and refreshing.
The kimchi and seaweed combination was epic and very costly!
We ordered some bulgogi to take home because we enjoyed it so much.
Thank god we weren’t out of town era traveling because there was NO utensils or napkins in the bag. I would have given 5 stars but took away one star due to the attitude of the female server who wasn’t pleasant at all.
She had an attitude bringing out the food and really ignorant when explaining the menu which we didn’t ask for.
Upon entry she just wasn’t warm at all. The male server was cool although he needed a lesson on Customer service as well he still was a more friendly than the girl. Other than that this place would get a 5 star.
If you’re into Korean I’d definitely recommend this place for a bite to eat!
Food was phenomenal, prices weren't bad. The server was polite and helpful however my only complaint is that although the service was mostly good, my mom and I were being stared at the whole meal by the server. At one point a woman and another man who we think was the chef came out and also watched us. We were the only ones there, so I get that there's not much to look at... But out of respect for the customer, and the fact that it made the whole ordeal very uncomfortable, I wish they had stared and so I'm giving a four star review. We didn't do anything knowingly disrespectful and we weren't being loud or rude or anything of the sort so I'm not sure what provoked the staring. Maybe there's cultural differences I'm unaware of, but it was obvious that they knew it wasn't right to do because when my mom looked up, they quickly looked away but went back to staring shortly after.
This is a neighborhood gem. Simple focused menu with something for most people. All dishes well executed. Have the bibimbap. Crispy spices chicken ia delicious. Kimchi pancake tastes good but can be a little floppy. Not floppy enough to take a star. The spicy soup is terrific on chilly nights. I like it best with tofu, no meat. Their cinnamon spiced tea is good hot or cold. I think you'll enjoy it.
Definitely delicious and will return! Three of us ordered the Soybean Paste Stew and we all loved the hot savory broth, and the flavorful zucchini and onions. I got the stew with seafood, which had hard-cooked shrimp and octopus, but added delicious flavor.
WooRi is a family restaurant and they offer complimentary appetizers fresh every day! (Tip them for that!!) They are tasty and diverse, and include kimchi cabbage, pickled radish, carrot slaw, and more.
The environment is modest, with bright lights, hard square tables, small plants in recycled jars, and open seating.
The woman (owner) with cool glasses is the nicest and most attentive! Would recommend WooRi!
My wife surprised me with this amazing restaurant. Simply blown away with all of the flavors and textures of each dish. We will return. Super friendly staff and gave us great suggestions. If you are in the area, I highly suggest dining at WooRi.
