Even though grocery prices in the U.S. have skyrocketed lately, eating out still feels reasonably priced — especially for us Norwegians. Koreana is a Japanese/Korean restaurant in Decorah offering both sushi and more traditional Asian dishes.
Sushi sounded best that day, so I went for a lunch combo with maki rolls: one with tempura shrimp and one with “crab meat” (which is really crabsticks, of course). The tempura shrimp maki was excellent — crisp, flavorful, and well balanced. The crabstick rolls were more average, perfectly fine but nothing memorable.
A small but important bonus: they serve Pepsi, which is surprisingly rare in U.S. restaurants — and the soda had no chlorine taste, which is even rarer.
Price before tip: $22, very fair for what you get.
Overall, a tasty, satisfying lunch and a solid choice in Decorah.
A confident 4/5.

First, let me start by saying the service is AMAZING. Even during a busy lunch rush, we never felt ignored or like anything was taking too long. The crab rangoon and gyozas were excellent, and the chicken fried rice was incredible. We ordered two rolls and neither was particularly knock-your-socks-off, but it may just come down to personal taste. Overall, a pleasant experience.

Ok. Hear me out. The bathroom is a whole vibe! “Immaculate Vibe” “great for a bathroom selfie”- per my 11 year old
Mood music, a bidet (once you figure out ;), nice air freshener. 10 out of 10 see picture!
The sushi was beautiful and tasty.
Good beef dish

We’ve been to Koreana a couple times now and I’ve already decided it’s my favorite restaurant. They have so many amazing options to choose from. My only request for my birthday today was to go to Koreana. Their sushi is extremely delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful.

The food was amazing! The staff was so kind and caring! We ordered the lunch special and my 2 year old daughter was eating with me, she was loving the soup, the staff had noticed and came back with an extra bowl of soup just for her. Will definitely be going back!

The food was pretty good, definitely comparable to what you’d get at a nice restaurant of the same style.
The sushi was definitely in the better end of the spectrum.
Service was very polite, helpful, and swiftly accommodated every request. It’s easy to tell they are experienced.
My order was as follows; monkey brains, Heart attack,beef & broccoli, shrimp lo mein, and the Oh My God Roll.
