We decided to give this restaurant a trial after read the reviews in TripAdvisor. I would say the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, very authentic Korea interior decoration. We ordered Bibimbap and Bulgogi for our dinner. Taste of food was good and authentic. The taste completely different than those "fake" Korean food found in other restaurants in town. However,...

I took Kanpunggi- 깐풍기 and it was really tasty chicken in sweet chili sauce. The decoration of the restaurant was really nice and the atmosphere was peaceful... More

Korea House has had excellent authentic korean food from the start. The owner is very friendly, you should strike a conversation with him.

I have been to Korea House for several times, especially then when I lived and studied in Helsinki. Even after that time I try to find one lunce/dinnertime for visiting this restaurant together with my friends every time I happen to be in Helsinki. The food there is just so great and the staff really friendly. I have no idea... More

We know nothing about authentic Korean food, so probably not the best judges of this place. However, we had an interesting meal with flavors that we had not had before. It was enjoyable, well cooked and tasted good. The service was friendly, and we would be happy to go back again.

I think most likely this is the only Korea restaurant in Helsinki or even Finland. Ordered kimchi stewed, a bit salty but tastes is good.

I am not going to comment on the authenticity of the place, but the food was good and at a reasonable price (slightly over 20 €). The cuisine is distinctive enough to separate it from other Asian restaurants.
