Silla - Columbus

The ambiance is captivating. I love that the restaurant has a charmingly tucked-away entrance. If you follow the concrete pathway on the side of the building, you’ll find an unassuming wooden door that makes you feel as though you’re stepping into another world, akin to Narnia. Once inside, you’re greeted by an inviting and cozy interior. There are seating arrangements suitable for everything from couples to larger groups (the largest I’ve seen can accommodate about 12 people, but they might be able to fit more). The restaurant typically plays soft jazz or piano music, creating a relaxed atmosphere, but they also have karaoke and a stage for those who are interested. While I haven't participated yet, I do plan to take the owner up on her offer one day. A unique aspect of Silla is their ordering system; customers place orders through their phones instead of speaking with a waiter. This feature adds an element of fun and serves as a great conversation starter for groups. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly. While they don't check on you as frequently as typical Western-style restaurants (thanks to the ordering method), it's important to advocate for yourself. Most transactions can be handled via your mobile device, but the owner enjoys visiting tables to chat, and my wife and I look forward to seeing her each time we visit. Her warmth and the attentiveness of the staff really enhance the overall experience and make it more personal. Ultimately, you can see the passion behind what Silla represents. If you find yourself in the Bethel area, make sure to stop by. And don’t forget to order a bottle of Soju and a bottle of Ob (Malt Beer) to mix a shot of each in a chilled glass for a delicious DIY Korean cocktail. The owner introduced us to this delightful drink, and we’ve loved it ever since!

You can tell the difference with the new owner, everything is perfect! Food is more delicious and has so much flavor and a beautiful presentation ! Fish and meats are fresh as well. The service is amazing and the owner is so welcoming! Highly recommend for authentic food! They also have karaoke! How fun!!

I ordered the Ja Jhang Myun noodles and they were so good. The price was pretty good too compared to other places that sell black bean noodles. I got it delivered and they not only gave me the noodles I ordered but four side cups of other little foods to go with it!! I will definitely be ordering from here again :

I love the ambience there. My favorite place to go eat with family and they serve the best Korean food in town.

Friendly service and delicious food. Vegetarian/Vegan options available
