Very nice, authentic food. Quiet and peaceful atmosphere with large selection of meals and drinks. Friendly staff,very happy to advise when asked.
Good value for money. Enjoyed the squid cut for the main and the chicken entree.
Friendly service
BYO wine - no corkage charge :)
No dessert options
I have eaten here at least 10 times in the past 3 years and the food has been consistently great! Always lots of flavour and it is very authentic.
Great food and even better service from the man Mr Koji himself (see scary movie 4). The suspicious Asian fellow that shows the minx around the house. Living legend. Great restaurant
Food here is AMAZING!!!!! We were not disappointed and it was quite possibly he best Korean food I've had. I would highly recommend the beef ribs and the rice in cast iron pot
My wife and I eat at De Coree often. We have never once been disappointed. The staff are polite and the service exquisite. The meals - the main attraction and primary reason for visiting -is always divine and served in quick time.Certainly a must visit restaurant.
Was here on Sunday. There was no one at dinner time. Maybe due to holiday season. Bibimbap was delicious. Authentic enough. The yok hwee or beef sashimi was good but it had some japanese influence from the soya sauce used. Manager was serving that day and his service was great.
Love this place, their chicken is the best! I've travelled through Asia alot an think that while this place isn't always 100% spot on service and food wise, they definitely serve great tasting food and are worth coming back for!
Quite possibly the best food I have ever eaten (and I like my food)...
The staff are fantastic, very eager to please and the service is exceptional. Everyone we have taken there loves the place. The owner couldn't be more friendly or helpful if he tried.
Considering how good this place is, and how amazing the food is, the cost is ridiculously cheap.
If you are planning to eat out in Palmerston North, do yourself a favour and try it...Do try the samplers, and the iron bowls are my pick.
Our number one choice in Palmy when we feel like going out for a simple and affordable meal. The food is fresh and delicious, the atmosphere is relaxing. We tried quite a lot of meals now but always come back to the iron and stone bowls. The classic "Bibim bap" is just delicious. We always feel welcomed by the friendly owner. The Korean Hite beer is a must-have!
Love the food and service. Great tasting food, the BBQ dishes are to die for! Great selection of starters, the sampler (which is a taste plate of all the starters) is a must.
Excellent value for money and taste.
My partner and I have been there so many times and we brought some friends with us quite often and we have never been disappointed! The staff and the owner are very friendly. The food is great and we love the iron bowls and stone bowls. The dumplings are awesome too. The whole menu is very tasty.
This is a great little place for a meal - well priced, friendly courteous staff and lovely dining music is played. The food is amazing - I am now a Korean food convert! We've enjoyed the fried rice, tasty stir fries, stone bowl chicken, twice cooked belly pork stir fried with veges and all have been gorgeous. I don't like my food too spicy and they oblige by making very mild versions as well as the hot spicy versions. Just ask. Pricewise - very reasonable with mains from $12.50 TO $16.50 and entrees around $6-9. Excellent value for authentic Korean meals.
This is a fantastic place to dine, staff always friendly and food is devine. Very good value for money and my husbands and sons favorite place to eat. We love the iron bowls and samplers and the hubby who loves to try anything out of the norm enjoys being able to try things that are a bit different. Keep up the good work.
I have eaten at De Coree three times over the last six months, once for lunch and twice for dinner. On all three occasions the food was divine, the service very good and the prices modest. The wine selection is OK, and priced well below what you'd expect.
I travel a lot, and like to try different places, but De Coree is on my list of places to go back to.
Really good food-super tasty.I enjoyed the good service and the charming waiter.This is one of my favourite restaurants.Perfect for authentic korean food.
This is the restaurant I choose for special occasions. Great Korean food and service. If you go do try one of the entree samplers.
This is one of the best restraunts ive ever been to.
I think it is family owned and operated and they are very friendly and helpful.
Ive had quite a variety of their meals and theyre all very good
my favourites are the bulgogi and the iron bowls
The meals are well priced also
100% FAVOURITE RESTAURANT. 10/10 food. 10/10 service. BOOKING ESSENTIAL. My family and I have been eating at this restaurant for at least 10 years now. If you don’t book in don’t expect a seat and don’t be sour for being turned away, they are not entitled to serve you. NOW let’s talk food. The rice bowls, de coree wings, and udon noodles are our favourites. We order them every-time. You won’t find a taste like the food you get from de coree. They are homemade sauces and you cannot recreate the flavours like these. The wings are crispy in a sweet succulent sauce. The udon noodles are tossed in oils and flavours that mix and absorb so well together. The rice bowl comes with an egg on top and you mix it in and the flavours are incredible. EVEN TAKEAWAY IS UNREAL. The prices are so reasonable for the quality and the quantity. Love this place so much.
Doesn't look much from the outside but step inside. Lovely elderly gentleman greeted us. Ordered sampler 1 entree. Mains , I had beef sizzling plate, hubby had lamb sizzling plate. Best meal out in a long time.
Let's start with the food - it was delicious. I haven't been to Korea and can't say for sure it's authentic, but I was pretty well convinced. There was a good selection of dishes without being so many as to make it confusing.
Next the service - it was impeccable. Not intrusive but timely.
The prices were reasonable.
When I visited it was almost empty, which was a shame. It's on the edge of the middle of town and amongst a whole lot of other restaurants and this could be why, as well as because I visited on a miserable Monday evening.
Delicious Korean food and lovely owners. Make sure you reserve a table in advance.
It's a nice cozy place good for small family or group gatherings. Small selection Food are in reasonable size and price. Good overall for a casual meal. I say 7/10
Cozy nice place, food was aaaamazing, the beef hot plate was delicious we didn't get it spicy but next time we will, loved the dumplings overall great place to eat out
Cooked beautifully! Tuesday night, so quiet at the time, but the waiter was very friendly. The food is very authentic too, and just delicious. Thank you!!
I love this Restaurant. The decor is outdated, but do not let this put you off. It is run by 1 Korean man who does everything himself and the food is so so so good. Also, it is good value for money and the wait was not long. If you love Korean food, go here.
The costumer service is amazing. The food is delicious and comes to you directly from the kitchen steaming hot. The stir-fry, you get to mix it yourself and it's 10/10. And the decorations and music make me feel at home.
Great service, with delicious food at reasonable prices
