Le Gourmet Korean Restaurant

Cindy and Daniel are very kind. They are always providing great service every time we visit. Me and my husband have turned into regulars since discovering this place last year! It is the best Korean food I’ve ever had and I’ve tried many places in the US. My favorite dish to order is their tukkbaegi bulgogi!!

I went here for the first time and got the dak gangjeong. It was delicious! It was hot, fresh, crispy, and flavorful! The lady at the counter was very friendly and my food was packed up beautifully to go.

2024 update: This place is still amazing. They moved to a bigger location in the capitol mall. They have a different menu too. I got their summer chicken soup which was outstanding, ate everything. Their tuna mayo and beef gimbap are also delicious. I don’t think you can go wrong ordering anything here. The owners are the sweetest people and always check to make sure you enjoy the food and are taken care of. I really miss their chicken wings (some of the best in Iowa city IMO) but those may come back to the menu! I’m obsessed with this place now. I can’t remember how I found it but I’m glad I did. Their bento boxes are wonderful. I love that they always change the side dishes you get with it and so far all have been delicious. I’ve had spicy pork and Korean bbq beef so far, preferred the

Do not let the fact that this place is in a mall deter you. Coming from out of town was needing some comfort food. The lady who made this food deserves an award. Packaged up to-go perfectly. Tastes incredible! Exactly what I would expect. It will be hard to not eat here over and over again.

As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a very kind lady. She seated us right away and displayed such great customer service. The atmosphere was fantastic——beautiful relaxing music; it was not too loud and not too quiet——just perfect. The food came out in a fast manner, and it tasted just impeccable. The food was plated very aesthetically.
