Shilla Korean - South Sarasota

It was my first time eating here tonight. I was introducing my friend to Korean cuisine and I have to say this sweet, welcoming restaurant didn’t disappoint. Our waitress was super sweet and service was excellent. I have always wanted to try Jjajangmyeom so we split it and it was everything I hoped it would be! So so good! The dolsot bibimbap was excellent too. I loved the banchan it was fresh and delicious. I would be tempted to gate keep this place but I want it to be around for a long time! Can’t wait to go back!

Hands down, Shilla has the best Korean food in Sarasota-Bradenton. Every dish is packed with flavor and made with love. This family owned and run restaurant is a little slice of Heaven. If you like spice, make sure to ask for full spice. If you can’t handle the heat, they will take care of that, too. If they are busy, think kind and be kind. There are three people total working in the restaurant. It takes time to make your delicious meal…and it is SO worth it! Grab some dumplings to start, sip some soju, and prepare for your taste buds to be delighted! Galbi is a must…every soup is delicious (try them all)…and don’t get me started on the tteokbokki. YUM! Dietary restrictions: They will make everything gluten free. Just ask for options! Kid-friendliness: My son doesn’t get to play hide and go seek with any other restaurant chefs and staff. He loves it there, and they are so kind and accommodating to children.

First time always wanted to try finally we did and it was delicious. Our waitress was outstanding helped explain things. We will be back

Wonderful family operation. The waitress takes the time to explain any dish that you don’t understand. I wish all restaurants were like this. I go there minimum of once a week.

The food is fantastic, and the best part is the waitress! She is super friendly and makes you feel very welcome!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend if you enjoy amazing Korean food!
