    Authentic Korean food in the heart of Thamel. I’ve been coming to Dae Jang Geum restaurant since 2016 until now. Definitely this is my favorite Korean restaurant in Thamel. Love the homey atmosphere here. Feels like you come to have dinner at a friend’s house. The owner speaks fluent Korean and very hospitable. The cook and staffs are super friendly. Nice service (like they can read minds;) Food tastes great. I forgot to take nice photo everytime I come here, but next time I will not forget. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    The only good, authentic Korean food in Thamel. The kimchi geon (kimchi pancakes) was really good as well as all the side dishes - especially Kimchi. We also had gapchae and spicy pork - both were good. Maybe there was a shortage of workers, but the service was a little slow.

    This place was really cool, we were there yesterday and had a great dinner. Good prices for what you get. I got the Bibimbap and it was good! They refill all the condiments infinitely free of charge. Sadly the place was empty except for me and my friend, don't know why!

    After an ABC 9 days trekking, we got back to Kathmandu with a big appetite for Korean BBQ. We accidentally found this place upon walking street in Thamel. Situated on the 2nd floor, this place offers most popular Korean dishes. We were so hungry that we didn't take photos when the food arrived. Authenticity taste wise, I would give 3 stars. Service could be improved a bit (giving that they charge you 10% of service charge at the end of the bill) . And for the price, I consider quite reasonable.

    We went to this Korean restaurant on invitation of our new korean friends whom we met on Langtang Trek. I am not a good critic of korean food but i did enjoy few dishes.. but according to our 2 korean friends the dishes tasted exactly as it would in seoul. they were satisfied with all the dishes.. i enjoyed tofu soup dont know the name 😅 sticky rice and side dishes.. meat dishes were quite well made as well.. chicken and pork.. but i find korean food kind of sweet.. everything tasted bit sweet to me even spicy ones except for kimchi..

    "🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Had an unforgettable family lunch at Dae Jang Geum Korean Restaurant in Thamel, Kathmandu! The warm ambiance and exceptional service made our gathering truly special. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine hospitality that made us feel right at home. The food was an absolute delight, with each dish reflecting the authentic flavors of Korean cuisine. Our family savored every bite of the bibimbap, bulgogi, and an array of banchan (side dishes). The attention to detail and the presentation of each dish were truly impressive. The staff's attentiveness and knowledge added to the enjoyment of our meal, making it a memorable experience for all of us. The owner's passion for Korean cuisine was evident in every aspect of the restaurant, and it truly enhanced our dining experience. I highly recommend Dae Jang Geum to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience with their loved ones. If you're in Thamel, this is a must-visit for a delightful family meal! 🍲🥢🇰🇷 #DaeJangGeum #KoreanCuisine #FamilyLunch #ThamelEats" Regards Lalit Gurung

    The food is quite decent. A bit on the sour side for its kimchi. I had the kimchi jigae and also a local Nepali brewed soju. The soju was quite good after a while with a tinge of sweetness.

  • 1/5 Patrick P. 4 months ago on Google
    We ordered first but was served last because there was a big group of Koreans that came to dine. They took an hour to cook fried rice and kimchi noodle and rice roll! My advise is not to dine here since they only big groups of Korean! Very bad service

  • 5/5 Jay G. 4 years ago on Google
    This really is the epitome of a hidden gem. All you see of this restaurant from the street is a simple sign but once you've made your way down a hallway and up some stairs you're greeted by a real Korean style restaurant so quaint it makes it easy to forget you're actually in Nepal. The bimbap was delicious and the staff friendly but the ambiance is the real winning factor.
