We visited here after a few years and were impressed with the changes they have made to the menu. The menus are more authentic now (compared to fusion-style, the reason we did'nt revisit for a while) and everything was so good! We tried Dolsot Bibimbop, spicy pork, dumpling, and beef radish soup. All delicious! It was a busy dinner time on a Friday evening, and with only 1 server the service was rather slow at times, but they were very friendly and nice. Highly recommend.

We have Eaten Here A Few Times And It's Has Never been Disappointing! The Table's Are Few. And You Might Have To Wait To Be Seated. So If You're In A Hurry And You're Not A Patience Type Of Person? Than Definitely Not You're Place to Vist. Now After Pointing That out. Im Going To Just Say the Menu Has A Great Selection Of Different Kinds Of Korean Food. The Owner is Always In The kitchen Working Her Heart out for Her Customers To Enjoy Her Foods! Her Staff Is Always Helpful And Friendly. So Do You're Self A Favor And Don't Be In A Hurry! Come And Try One Of Fort Wayne's Hiden Gems!

I had a chance to visit Ryu's Kitchen today for lunch and I enjoyed the experience. The store is a small store in a fairly nondescript strip mall off of Hobson Road. But when you step inside, you realize that you have stumbled across something unique. The inside is very nicely decorated and very inviting. The lighting is warm and the decorations give you the feeling of being at home. The dish that I tried today was the Bulgogi Stew. This dish came highly recommended to me by someone who frequents this store quite a bit. I have to say that she was not wrong in her recommendation. This dish was amazing! It's basically a beef stew with bulgogi beef, glass noodles, and vegetables served with white rice. Initially, it's a bit of a challenge to figure out how to eat the soup/stew out of the bowl with either your fork, chopsticks, or rather large spoon. But no matter how you get it to your mouth, you will be glad you did. The broth/sauce is fantastic complimented by the beef and veggies. Add some rice to the mix and it's yummy time. This is something I recommend would to everyone. I also tried one of their Honey Teas. I tried the iced honey Quince tea. It's a graphic 3 mile tea similar to an Apple or Pear in weight and sweetness. I will definitely be trying to get back here to check out a couple more of their dishes.

We love Ryu’s kitchen. My husband and I come here for day dates and we’ve had a great experience each time. Today we introduced our daughter and she loved it as well. The food is always delicious and the service is great. In a world full of chain restaurants, Ryus is a gem.

Quaint place. Clean. If you would rather have fried rice and steamed rice, forget it. If you would like to add extra protein to your dish after you’ve received it, forget it. You can get around that by ordering it when you initially put the order in. I’m not knocking this they can do as they please. The staff was friendly, the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely go back again.
