The Bottom Line

Koryo Korean BBQ is a casual Korean restaurant in Al Mankhool where the main appeal is building a satisfying meal around its combo boxes. You can pair meats such as bulgogi beef, spicy chicken or Mongolian beef with kimchi fried rice, japchae and selected sides. Bibimbap is another frequently recommended choice, especially for a quick meal.

The strongest feedback centres on flavour and speed. Bulgogi, kalbi beef and beef short ribs receive particularly good mentions, while kimchi fried rice is described as scrumptious. Diners also report juicy grilled chicken, fresh crunchy broccoli and orders arriving quickly.

Staff are often helpful when explaining unfamiliar dishes or customising a Big Koryo order, which is useful if this is your first Korean meal. There are a few practical cautions. Recent reviews disagree about portion value: some call the combos generous, but others say the Big Combo has become much smaller, with separate items compressed into one box.

Delivery has also drawn a serious complaint about poor packaging and food arriving cold. Vegetarians should ask carefully about ingredients; one diner found only bibimbap suitable, while another was specifically told that radish kimchi was the vegetarian kimchi. For the broadest tasting experience, ask about a combo and check its current portions before paying.
