THE NAMU Korean Japanese kitchen & izakaya

Rosalie Wilder 2 months ago

Don’t sleep on Namu. This place absolutely exceeded our expectations. The space has a cozy, modern vibe with a fun mix of Korean and Japanese influences. It feels casual enough for a weeknight dinner but still has a cool atmosphere you’d want to hang out in. The menu is a fun fusion of authentic Korean comfort food, Japanese izakaya-style small plates, and creative drinks. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and honestly, everything we ordered was delicious. If you order one thing, make it the Yaki Beef Ramen. It’s ridiculously creamy, comforting, and now our new favorite. We loved it so much we ordered another one to go before leaving. The bone-in Korean fried chicken was incredibly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. We actually preferred it over the boneless version, which was still tasty but not quite as crispy. The grilled pork belly was cooked perfectly—buttery, tender, and finished with just the right amount of crispiness. It was impossible to stop eating. And the soft tofu soup was exactly what we were craving, with a comforting broth and just the right amount of fermented soybean flavor. Safe to say we’ll be back for that ramen… and probably everything else to

I was really excited to try out this place because I love Korean food and my girlfriend is always raving about this place. It's one of her favorite restaurants. Perhaps it was what we ordered but the Bibimap and Galbi were quite disappointing. The Bibimap did not have the crunch which happens when you cook rice in a clay pot and my galbi was not very well marinated or seasoned it tasted quite bland. On a good note, the KFC was AMAZING! So good my boyfriend purchased another order to bring home. Do not hesitate to order them! We got the Spicy Soy and Sweet Soy. The ambience is cute, presentation was nice and amazing service. It was the taste of our entrees that were bland and left us wanting. *UPDATE* We ordered the KFC with bone and it was crispy and extremely flavorful at the restaurant but the 2nd order we purchased to go was boneless. My boyfriend said they are not nearly as crispy or tasty as the ones with the bone. So we recommend the KFC with bone-in.

We usually order Namu to-go or for delivery, and the food has always been great, but eating there in person was amazing! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The potato croquettes are a must-try — so good! The dessert was delicious too! Definitely a must try spots in Coral Springs. Highly recommend!

I've been to Namu three times now. During the first two times, I really enjoyed the food, the service was good, and the atmosphere was great. I love that they have Kpop music playing in the background and the little shop they have near the entrance. So many cute items from South Korea! However, we went again for the third time with some friends recently and the service was all over the place. I don't think their current system works well at all (pressing the button for service) because it caused so much confusion for the waiters to get some of our orders to our tables. It took more than 30 minutes to get my tea! When it was time to pay for our meals, one of the waiters gave us the machine to split the bill ourselves and then left us with it so we spent about 20 minutes looking at the receipt and inputting what meals each of us had to pay for. Needless to say, we were not happy about having to do that at all. I really like the food there. It's delicious and I had a good impression of the restaurant up until the third time I went to eat. I just don't think their system works well and hope they change it.

Went here with my siblings and had a great time. The food was very tasty, and I loved the variety of flavors in each dish. Even though the place was busy, the service was quick and attentive. The ambience was nice and comfortable, and everything came out in a timely manner. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.
