What people say, in short
Many people recommend Koreana for Korean food, and one diner calls it the most authentic Korean restaurant they have visited. Two diners say it has never disappointed them over the years, while one diner praises its set menu, another praises its lunch deals and a third suggests it for Korean barbecue. One diner advises booking ahead at weekends, as tables fill quickly, though another diner who has visited a few times found the experience poor each time.
