Korea House Restaurant · West Nashville
Korea House is a small West Nashville room on Charlotte Pike with quick service and a broad Korean menu. Start with kimbap or crisp fried dumplings, then move to kimchi pork belly or soondubu stew with seafood and soft tofu.
Hai Woon Dai · Antioch
A walk-in-only Korean barbecue spot in Antioch known for higher-quality cuts like pork belly and marinated short rib, plus a crispy seafood pancake and stone-pot bibimbap. Six banchan come with every table, and lines are common despite the no-frills space.
Midori | Sushi • Japanese • Korean · Nolensville Pike
Midori pairs Japanese and Korean dishes along Nolensville Pike. Bibimbap and bulgogi sit beside Japanese plates, making the menu useful for a table with different cravings while keeping the room rooted in its neighborhood.
Babo Korean Bar · East Nashville
A corner bar built around Korean staples in a casual, drink-forward East Nashville setting. Beef bulgogi, scallion pancake, gochujang fried chicken, and kimchi fried rice anchor a menu with plenty of vegetarian-friendly options, served alongside Korean beer and cocktails.
