Fantastic food, relaxed completely with delicious tea. Pleasantly surprised by Tofu seafood soup presentation. Tasty and comforting. Gifted beef ribs to try by the proprietor and her gracious touch was like being with family. Mandu was cooked perfectly as was the rice. The atmosphere was superb with cool AC and Korean news on the TV in the background. Ended adding another soup to my neatly packaged to go meal.
The menu didn't indicate the options for fried rice and the waitress was irritated when we asked what our options were for fried rice and she sarcastically replied, "YOU TELL ME!" The dish (BulGoKi) I ordered was great but the service ? could've been better. She was rude and impatient. Then she had the audacity to ask if we left her a tip ???♀️ My tip to her is that I didn't go off on her when she told my sister she drinks too much sweet tea ? SO RUDE! NEVER COMING BACK HERE!
Checked out Shila Korean Restaurant. It was very good. While orange chicken is not Korean, it was the best I ever had. It was perfectly crispy with the right amount sauce. The kimchi and pickles were tasty. The galbi was flavorful and not too sweet. The bulgoki could have had a little more flavor, but it was not bad. Surprisingly we enjoyed the OhSam Bulgoki which is a mixture of pork and squid. It had more flavor than the beef with a hint of spicy heat. Everyone liked the bibimbob. I liked the noodle dish. Go with a group like we did, order a bunch of dishes, and eat family style. You will have a fun experience that way and can pick out your favorites!
Shila is one of my favorite restaurants in Fayetteville. I always get the Osam Bulgogi. I've been to the restaurant many times and have never had a bad experience. The food and service have always been very good.
Waited an hour(no kidding) for the first dish to be served and the seafood pancake was so burnt. The waiter didn’t even serve water and let us know there’ll be a long waiting time for food, we’d have been prepared if the waiter told us beforehand the long waiting time! We know Shelia’s always have bad service but we still go because it’s close to our place, after this awful experience we will not go back!
Incredibly delicious food - absolutely authentic! Friendly staff and great prices too!
Side dishes are made in house and are very fresh. I've enjoyed lunch here before, but my first dinner was amazing! A great hidden gem in the area.
Food was “ok” I decided to give this a second try today. I will NOT be back.. found a black hair in my kimchi. I showed the waiter. He said sorry but never offered to at least bring me a fresh one or take it off my bill. Never again….. not to mention right now my stomach feels awful after eating there
The food is okay because there are not too many Korean Restaurant around the area to compare it to. I would've enjoyed eating at the restaurant but at the end of my meal, the waitress told me that I had to give a 15% percent tip...I was like WTH?? Is this this still America? I dislike the fact that I was forced. and shamed at the restaurant to give a tip that was beyond 10%. They don't even offer military discount.
I suggest a menu that a non-korean can use. Pictures. Descriptions of dishes.These small changes would bring a lot of customers in to try your food.
