Sahara Korean Restaurant

Pretty decent all around Korean Restaurant.

This place was amazing and had amazing food! The prices were great and the service was wonderful. Everything is served beautifully and I really enjoyed my meal! I will be coming here again!

Food was prepared very well, the value for the money was very good. the restaurant was very clean and the staff was very nice.
I would definitely bring my friends & Family.

I have no idea why there are so few reviews for this place. It’s awesome! We came to the strip mall to eat at Tokyo Japanese restaurant, but it was closed. So we sauntered over to Lotus of Siam and they had a 2 hour wait. We then decided to see what the wait was like at Komol and it was merely half an hour, but we wanted to eat sooner rather than later. One of the guys in our group saw this place and my girlfriend was like «What does Unilocal say?» So I looked it up and it was five stars, but only three reviews and the last one from 2012. We decided to try our luck and I have to say it was well worth it!
If you like Korean food you should definitely give this place a try!

I can’t believe we’ve never tried this place before tonight! This was my dad’s choice for Father’s Day dinner. We were debating a discussing whether this was a new place or not.
We entered and were met with a very clean and welcoming environment. We were immediately greeted and seated.
My dad knew what he wanted already and ordered right away. I looked over the menu and decided upon my meal, and ordered when our water was brought out.
I think they could have waited to start my dad’s meal until both of us had ordered, as when they brought it out, parts of the meal were already cold.
Dad ordered the spicy squid (his go-​to meal), I ordered the ribs and seafood pancakes to share.
For my taste, the squid was not only cold, but also a little undercooked. The pancakes were also undercooked for me, I like them crisp and not so moist. I am a big texture person, and being underdone just made it hard for me to eat it. Flavor was excellent, so we packed them to go and plan to toss them on the stove to reheat them (and cook them a little more).
The flavor of each dish was wonderful, exactly what I am used to growing up frequenting Korean places, having visited Korea twice, and not to mention having a Korean mother. :)
The side dishes were excellent as well. They brought oi kimchee (cucumber), regular napa kimchee, bean sprouts (my favorite), pickled radish, spiced fish cake and i think a seaweed based side.
Each of us got our own trays of each side, which was pretty cool. My dad said his bean sprouts tasted dirty, like they hadn’t been rinsed enough. I tried his and didn’t get the same taste.
The service here is phenomenal. The ladies were attentive, friendly, and on top of it. We didn’t have to wait for food, drink refills, to go boxes (which they packed for us) or the check.
Overall, we really enjoyed this place and both even mentioned we need to bring my mom here when she returns from Korea.
The prices were pretty standard for Korean food, and on the verge of a little competitive. The kalbi ribs were $ 15.99, which is a bit cheaper than many other places, but the serving is also a little smaller (but not small enough to complain about). The seafood pancake was $ 12.99, and the squid I think was about $ 9.99 or so (I didn’t look at that dish closely as i didn’t order it).

We loved this restaurant from about 1996 – 2006. Around 2006, they closed their business to the public and only catered to tour buses. They are now open again to the general public. We went there for dinner tonight. The chef/​owner and waitress/​daughter recognized us immediately! We ordered the kalbi which was just as great as we had remembered. The mandoo soup was also excellent.
