    The place is high end and decent. Great place to have any type of celebration like today’s Father’s Day, or just have a great Korean meal. Meat has to be cooked by yourselves but it was very quick and easy. We tried the combination for … More 4 person “Kore Experience” and ordered other variety of meat as well as appetizers such as chicken, pork and duck. The meat is more than enough for all of us. My favorite is bulgogi pork so I have to try their spicy pork as another added order of meat and it was delicious. Will definitely be back.

    This was my first time at Kore Steakhouse! My husband had been before with a client and for his Birthday he decided he would like for us to go here to Celebrate.Everyone we came into contact with was genuinely kind and friendly. We were … More seated right away and Lauren was our server. She is a Charming young lady. She explained everything to us and even made suggestions. My husband did the ordering and our food was Perfect! It exceeded my expectations as did the Service. Lauren was calm, delightful and extremely knowledgeable of the menu and all the offerings of this restaurant! With it just being the two of us it was a low key celebration but the desert they brought out at the end was such a nice touch and it meant a lot! The interior decor was casual yet elegant and made the experience even better. We will most definitely be back and I will be Recommending this location to everyone! 5 Stars to Kore and 10 Stars to Lauren; if I could give more to both I would!

    It was Super fun to try something new and to have Korean BBQ available in Sarasota, FL. We tried the $75 tasting menu for 2. It was a lot of food. Once we got the hang of the stovetop table and timer working correctly for the meats all … More was good and tasty. Our waiter was very nice and extremely attentive and patient with us. I loved the pickled onion and pickled cucumbers on the free accompaniments. And I ordered extra red sauce because that was my favorite. We both ordered a side of rice but could’ve just made do with one order. We asked a lot of questions about what our neighbors were eating and drinking and took our dessert to go. I will surely be back and Next time I’ll order off of the menu and probably sit in the bar area or outside because the place was a bit noisy.

    Decided to stop in and have some cocktails. The place is very nice inside and smells amazing. We didn't order food here tonight but the menu looks delicious as well as the appetizers that those around us ordered so we will be back … More to try it.My only suggestion is the bartending staff be more engaging and welcoming as they are the first ones their patrons see.

    Absolutely amazing dining experience. I was a little unsure of the concept of spending $$$ to cook my own food but wow, so much fun! Service was amazing, the whole team pitches in to help. Kore is a tipless restaurant and honestly the … More best service and experience I've had in a long time!

    Excellent experience!It was our first time on a Korean BBQ, we were a little nervous but the staff is so helpful and kind when explaining how to do it.We got the butcher's price, it helps us figure out what we like for next time. It … More was really good. 100% recommend.My only suggestion is the dessert in these combination packages should be a Korean dessert .

    Great, fun, unique, and tasteful dining experience! Read the website info first so you know you can or have to cook your own food, which is great! We had the combo for 2 with all the meats, the dumpling app, rice, and the Kobe! It was … More all very delicious! The decor was really nice and atmosphere, and it wasn't loud like many other places. Will be back for a special occasion or date night.The only minor thing I didn't care for was the fact they "advertise" a no tip dining experience . However, at the end the server mentioned that cash tips are allowed and greatly appreciated. Kind of makes one feel "guilty" if you don't. I assume the tip is built into the pricing of the meals and then paid out to the servers. Just curious if the owner and management are aware the server is saying this?

    Food was amazing. Service was great!! I wish I remembered our waiters name to give him recognition.As someone who works in the service industry, the note inside the payment books was incredibly heart breaking. My only suggestion would be … More to remove them. Always tip your waiter/waitress/bartender. We very much appreciate it.

    The restaurant is a beautiful experience! Just walking in the door, the elegant design of the space, feels immediately welcoming. The service was amazing.

Sitting there with the grill in the center of the table felt like such a fun experience with to share with loved ones. The s’mores at the end added to the sense of fun and laughter.

    OMG - my favorite new place!! My husband and I went for lunch. Great experience!! Good drinks, the cooking over an open flame to your liking is a great option for those that like food on the raw side and those who like their food more well … More done. Appetizers were so good - all food was very flavorful!! Highly recommend!!!

    We had amazing experience at Kore! The restaurant is beautifully designed and offers a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff was outstanding at every turn and making sure we were having a great experience. They helped explain the different … More dishes, sauces, and pairing certain items with each other. The food was some of the best we have had in a long time and such a fun and unique experience being able to grill right at your table. This is our new favorite restaurant! We can not wait to go back.
