I enjoyed my meal and experience at Nam Kang, but I wasn't blown away or overly impressed. The pork belly and beef cooked on the tabletop grill was very good. I am a huge fan of the pork belly so that was a hit for me. The beef was tasty as well. I was surprised that there were only 2 meat options for tabletop grilling as I suppose I am used to having multiple options such as shortribs and bulgogi at other places. That being said, the beef bulgogi we ordered that was prepared in the kitchen was DELICIOUS. It was worth it and we could not get enough of it. The banchan was also very good. The table favorite was the mashed potato scallion mix. YUM. I believe I exclaimed at the table, "I could eat this by the bucket!!!" and I meant it. The potato salad was actually the sole reason we tried Nam Kang. Our friend could not stop talking about it so we ended up going there instead of our usual place Jong Kak. Since we only had 2 options for bbq, we opened up our options for other dishes so that was a positive since we usually just order a bunch of meat for the tabletop. We tried the seafood pancake, fried dumplings, miso soup and seafood fried rice. The seafood pancake was OK. I am usually a fan of it, but this one wasn't very flavorful to me. The miso soup was nice, but I wanted more tofu in it other than just the broth. The fried dumplings and the seafood fried rice were top notch. We ate these items up so fast! Overall, the service was good. I think we may have overwhelmed the lady serving us, but she was very patient and nice. Our experience was good and our bellies were full, at the end, but I still could not have helped feeling like something was missing. I usually get steamed egg included in the banchan so I was sad that this was not included. Maybe that's what I felt was missing, but overall, I really couldn't complain. The overall environment was nice and quiet. The place was empty and only a few tables around us was filled up around dinner time. This place would be nice for an intimate setting with friends or a date. I would definitely give this place another shot and would love to try the other dishes that Nam Kang has to offer.

Ive been wanting to try this place, and I finally got the chance. Im in love. The best dobo kimchi I have ever tasted. Also a great late night place to hit after drinking. The seafood pancake is absolute crack on a plate as well. Been here twice already and each time I have had a good expierience
(5)Patricia B.
Thank you fello yelpers, in town from Florida looking for good ramen in Baltimore. We found Nam Kang and it was awsome. I had a lunch special chicken dol bab so delicious came is a sizzling hot pot. Beth had the kimchi jigae noodle soup with pork so hot and spicy we had extra kirin. Absolutely would return.

Disappointing and overpriced food... We got two different korean dishes, but voila, we get the same broth with one slight ingredient adjustment. Native koreans are not happy... The food is definitely "watered down" to suit the tastebuds of non-Koreans. We were disappointed in service, quality, and price and will not be returning unfortunately.
(1)Esteban M.
It's a bit expensive. I would like to go to a Korean Restaurant that was priced better.
(3)Yong K.
This place is pretty underrated. I've heard lots of people say it's bad, but in my experiences, it's not that bad! Food: -Jjambbong: spicy seafood soup. it wasn't hot enough when served. i usually like this a bit spicier (less bland) and hotter (temperature-wise) but the noodles were pretty good. -jjajangmyun: actually one of the best jjajangmyun in baltimore city (that's not saying much but....) not amazing or the best, but it was really good flavor -banchan (side dishes): pretty standard, they had a pretty good variety, the mashed potato was pretty good .. my friend DEVOURED it - tang sooyook (sweet sour chicken): solid, delicious. price: not bad service: a bit slow.. i don't think there are enough workers overall, not the best korean food, but if you want some late night jjajangmyun, this place is pretty good!
(3)B L.
My fav K rest in Baltimore...Bulgogi is very good...K seafood pancake a little oily...the owners are really nice...I recommend this K rest over most in MD
(4)Timothy M.
I've only had the kimchi stew, but it is the best that I have ever had!
(5)Tunaidi A.
Nam Kang is a pretty average Korean restaurant, a little pricier than its competitors, but also less busy. There's ample seating in the restaurant, but not sufficient parking outside. The jajangmyun is decent. It can't compare to its Ellicott City/Catonsville counterparts, but it's certainly a win in Baltimore. The tangsooyook can be better. It's not as crispy or fresh as I've had in the past, but it's okay if you're craving it. Refills for sides cost extra, so savor the first servings.
(2)Emily K.
Great place to eat after drinking all night. I love the haemul pajun (seafood pancake).
(4)Anthony M.
DO NOT EAT HERE!!! My girlfriend was food poisoned, and almost ended up in the hospital. The food was definitely not fresh and I'm sure they reheated in a microwave before bringing it to the table. On our way out, there was another girl that was sick and throwing up outside. I just thought she was drunk, but now I know it was the food.
(1)Maya K.
Nam Kang is always open late, has lots of tasty food, and the people are friendly. I mostly get the hot pot because I really like the crusty rice stuck to the bottom of the dish. The ambiance is nothing special, but for being below ground it is surprisingly nice in there. I have ordered carry-out several times and was impressed that when I asked for vegetarian bibimbap over the phone she checked if egg was okay. There extensive hours are especially convenient when you're looking for late night options.

I don't have much experience with Korean food, so I guess you can take everything with a grain of salt. But I went here with my family for a birthday dinner one wintry night and had a very good meal. If I hadn't read the other reviews on Yelp I would not have gone here - I see the restaurants on 20th street from Charles Ave but I have never noticed Nam Kang. I was in the mood for something a bit different for my b-day dinner, and it's the one day when I can put my foot down and open the sometimes narrow minds of my dining partners! We started off with miso soup for the kids and the seafood pancake for us. The kids were disappointed that there was no tofu in the miso, but otherwise they liked it. We were blown away by the seafood pancake - that could easily be a meal (and it's priced that way even though it's listed as an appetizer - but you wouldn't get the banchan). It was super - crispy and full of chunks of seafood, with a basic but delicious dipping sauce. Even though it was fried, it was still light in texture. Delish. The kids had the veggie udon soup - they prefer miso broth so it got a bit of a mixed review. I think the waitress had some tofu added to it for them, but I'not sure. In any case that's what they like despite the broth. I had the stir-fried squid and noodles, which was also fantastic. The squid was in a kind of chile - soy sauce combination, with plain thin wheat noodles on the side. The squid was a bit oily, but the flavor was great with a little bit of heat, and the squid was done without being rubbery. My wife had a chicken rice hot pot, I think, that came out sizzling and popping. The best part was scraping the rice off the bottom - nice and crispy! Not quite as flavorful as my dish, we decided, but still pretty good, and more dramatic. The banchan were good too - the mashed potato and scallion dish in particular was awesome. Oh, yeah, they have OB and Hite beers, as well as Sapporo and one other Japanese beer, several Heineken-type beers, and Guiness, and sake, plum wine, and I think I remember seeing raspberry wine as well? I had an OB (decent) and my wife had Hite (watery blech). Next time we'll stick with Hite. The service was good though as the place got busy the server was really hustling. Still she managed to get everything to us promptly (even as we dithered about what to order at first) and cheerily. As we left my wife said "I think that's the most unique place I've been to in a few years." I think she's right - in part because we don't go too exotic with the kids. But I'm glad I got to play the birthday card to get them to try it. We're not going to Catonsville / Ellicott City anytime to eat out so we'll be back!
(5)Yimei W.
I always left this place feeling somewhat like it was not everything I wanted. I don't know what it is. The banchan is OK, and sometimes you get that potato salad one which is nice. I've gotten the jap chae, the dumplings, the spicy beef soup (yuk gae jang)...but so far nothing has ever swept me off my feet the way things have at Joon Kak or other joints out on Route 40. The service has always been pretty good though, and the general atmosphere is nice. I would say the ambiance is pleasant and makes for a nice, private conversation.
(3)Peter S.
Very, very, very disappointing. If you've grown up eating real Korean food, you'll no doubt feel the same way. Seriously...this restaurant can't even get beebimbop right. How's that even possible??? My wife ordered kimchee jigae (I don't know why...so easy to make at home). Believe it or not, it was brown and had almost no kimchee in it. My wife even asked our server why there was barely any kimchee in the kimchee jigae. The server's response was giving a forced smile, which we interpreted as "damn, they're on to us." Will never return. If you've grown up eating Korean food, this place will be a big disappointment. Not traditional and quite bland. Kimchee jigae that was brown and had almost no kimchee in it...really??? Bland miso. Ganpoongki (spicy, sweet chix) that tasted more like sweet & sour chicken from the mall food court.
(1)Valerio M.
First advice: if you like spicy food don't let the waitress scare you and go for it. I am not sure why they do it, I have been here several time, and every time I order an item from the menu with the classic pepper sign next to it for "hot", the lady looks to me like this is going to be my last meal. I'd think she supposes only real Koreans can take the heat, obviously she hasn't dealt with many Italians! This aside, this place is phenomenal. I usually go for the hot bi bim bap (the one in the stone, which has actually a different name, but I never recall it). super. So far I never had a bad dish, and my favorite part is when they bring the little dishes at the beginning of the meal. Ok, as you probably noticed by now, I am no expert in Korean cuisine, nor I know the name of half the things I eat here. Sometimes I am not really sure what I am eating. But boy, I like being adventurous at Nam Kang!
(4)Josh R.
This is not real Korean food!. Every thing about it is Americanized. None of the Korean College kids from Hopkins go here unless their parents are horrible cooks, or just don't know how to cook. It's really hard to find modernized Koreans that can cook really good meals. Everyone has turned to eating out for the most part. If you want real Korean hospitality and food go to San Soo Kab San. It's cheap and all of the people eating within are Korean. Nam Kang has nothing but Americans that haven't got a clue what good Korean food is. Nam Kang brings Korean dining to shame!
(1)Stephanie P.
I adore Nam Kang. I've been eating here for a long, long time. It's interesting to compare the "crowds" it attracts at dinner time and 2am. I usually get the same thing (jai yuk gui - the bbq pork belly) but sometimes I branch out and get kimchi and pork soup. I'm well-acquainted with the Korean market at H-Mart and yet still make choice to pay three times as much at Nam Kang from time to time. I do wish they'd serve the more adventurous appetizers to westerners more often (the guppies, the really rotten tofu), but at least the ones they usually bring are consistently good, especially the terriyaki bean thing, the kimchis, and the broccoli and hot sauce. I also adore the fermented cinnamon-y rice drink they bring for dessert. Yay Nam Kang. Don't you ever disappear or remodel!
(5)Jenny A.
Nam Kang is one of the weirdest restaurants in Baltimore - and I mean that in the best way! The food is amazing, they stay open late, and somehow it feels like not that many people know about it - or else it would be packed all the time. If you haven't been there before, they bring out about six complimentary sample bowls which makes for the perfect appetizer. I recently went there with a group of 6 people and they brought out double servings of the samples, which was really awesome. I get the same thing every time I go - spicy squid over rice noodles - and it's always EXCELLENT. The only thing about Nam Kang is that it is one of those places where you can ring up a huge bill really easily, so watch out for that. Overall - it's one of my most favorite restaurants in Baltimore - highly recommended.
(5)Andrew W.
Generous portions of hot, delicious food made for a memorable lunch. After being greeted by an assortment of traditional appetizers / sides, we enjoyed a sizzling, flavorful, if not a little greasy shrimp pancake. It was easily 3 times the size I expected and the perfectly wilted scallions and plump, tender shrimp made for a satisfying dish. Our bulgogi was a little dry, but tasted great. The vegetables and rice were piping hot, with the pervasive umami notes of shiitake mushrooms. The breaded fried chicken strips with sweet chili sauce rounded out a meal that was at the same time filling, but did not induce a food coma. The service was unremarkable but pleasant, with a few "extras" coming to the table, likely because it was so quiet at the time. Passable not not excellent hot sake didn't stay hot for long, but the water was refilled upon request. I will be back frequently to work my way through the impressive menu. I'm thrilled to have discovered this gem of a Korean eatery.
(4)Krystyn P.
I got completely turned around today trying to find a place for lunch and was so excited to find yet another Korean restaurant to try. The neighborhood doesn't seem the best, but the parking was pretty easy (I'm currently learning how to drive a rental minivan- bleech!) Anyways, inside is very strange - a mixture of Korean posters and strange 70's styling.... but the food totally makes up for it! I had a bulgogi hot pot with miso soup and banchan... all super tasty. I got out of there for $21, and that included a sizable tip - you really can't complain about the cost. I can't wait to go back and eat some more - and maybe partake in their karaoke down the street.
(4)Emily C.
Nam Kang has great Korean food. I love Korean food, so maybe I'm biased. You can't go wrong with any of the standard dishes, and the selection of banchan is pretty good. Prices are reasonable for Korean food. And they're open till 4am. The only disadvantage to trekking out there after a night out is the cab ride back and forth...unless you're already in Mt. Vernon, but even then it may be steep. It may help to go with someone who knows the language too, but not a requirement. And I've never had an issue with parking. There's plenty of street parking that you can front-in...which is great for someone who hates parallel parking (like me).
(3)Rita S.
Easily the best Korean food in Baltimore. Great dolsot bibimbop. Excellen panchun. Everything I've had there (and friends too) has been very authentic Korean (like my Grandma makes!) Don't bother with the other Baltimore city Korean places. Unless you want to drive to Ellicott City, eat at Nam Kang!
(5)G K.
I'm don't know how this place has received so many positive reviews. Upon entering, there is the slight smell of drainage pipes, which was an indication to me that this place may not have best the hygiene practices. We weren't greeted upon entering but sat down at a table, which had been set for us. We were still hopeful of having a good meal. Our server then proceeded to roll her eyes after we asked for the simplest, most routine things like straws and water without ice. The food arrived pretty quickly (within 10 minutes or so) and hot, which was nice. The beef dumplings were good (though we couldn't identify any beef in them by either sight or flavor) and the bulgogi was okay. Everything else was pretty awful and disgusting and seemed like it was just thrown together. I was especially disappointed with the octopus which was very tough and oily. Throughout the meal, the customer service continued to be terrible and we usually had to get up to ask the server for assistance even though the restaurant was otherwise empty. At the end of the meal, the server had the audacity to demand a 15% tip. I was flabbergasted, especially since we had already given her $10, despite her constant eye-rolling, sighing and inattention. Never again. What a terrible waste of time and money. I'm just glad that we didn't end up with food poisoning.
(1)Teresa K.
Excellent, super-cheap food in large portions, with friendly service that only got friendlier when the waitress found out I was Korean. Sadly, only got to try this place once before I moved away.
(5)Jay S.
This is a clean "hole in the wall" Korean Restaurant that provides a fun experience, great food and good prices. My kids love it and have learned a bit about a different cultural offering. They provide 6 to 8 different free tasting appetizers when you order. Get the Bulgogi beef or chicken. The beef is the best. There soups are great. She gives my boys lollipops after the meal to bribe them to come back. Honestly they love it for the food. The service is a bit slow at times because the have a skeleton crew although they try hard. The neighborhood is not the greatest but there is great visible parking out front. It's never crowded but is popular with the Hopkins crowd.
(5)Katie M.
for never having tired Korean food before, I was very impressed! i'm going to try and replicate what i had there for dinner tomorrow night! Wish i didn't live in Philly and could go more often!
(4)Kathryn E.
There is nothing better than a hot pot of dol bab on a cold day - and they do a fantastic dol bab. Great soups as well. This place is generally full of students from nearby JHU, and it's easy to see why - great food, lots of it, and decent prices. It is not uncommon to have a server with minimal English skills, but can generally work around this. At the first sign of cold rain or slushy ice, this is the place to head for that warm comfort food feeling.
(5)H T.
Pretty good korean food. Not the best bugolgi i've had but pretty tasty nonetheless. Loved the side plates that came with our meal and the waitress was friendly. No complaints here.

Let me tell you about the Hot Pot. The Hot Pot, 15 years ago, was a novelty--like much Korean food, it hadn't penetrated the melting-pot-consciousness. Nowadays, you can get pale pretenders at malls, college dining halls, and food courts across the nation; but in 1993 or so, the hot pot was the exclusive province of places like Nam Kang. The hot pot is essentially broth with a whole bunch of crazy-ass seafood--kind of like a paella, but with rice on the side--and then seasoned with fish sauce and chili powder til your eyes boil. If you don't remember it (not so fondly) the next morning, 'tis not a hot pot. If the clam shells are closed, don't eat them. Hot Pots are like--I don't know--the iron chef equivalent of when I simultaneously have no food and yet have 3 fresh ingredients from the market. Only asian. Oh yeah, and also? it used to come with sterno. I suspect some drunken hopkins student had an accident with the sterno one time, because it never showed up after 2001. But that's not the best part, nor is the fact that this place stays open all the g*d* time; no, the best part is Little Dishes. Now, granted, the Little Dishes used to be WAY better than they are now (here or at Young Cok), but back in the day there was this eggy mess, and some weirdo spring onions, and this young sushi chef used to give me "sashimi salad" which I've never had ANYWHERE else but contained yum-yum tuna, squid, cucumbers, wasabi, soy, vinegar--omg. Little dishes = still good, with kimchi my favorite, close second is bean sprouts, after that is that weird cabbage in vinegar and soy. Hot pots--I think it's number 23, or something. It has clams, no beef or poultry, lots o' seafood, and man-- it gets you in the best way. Delicious, satisfying, comforting. BTW, bulgogi fad = bullshit.

I routinely hit Nam Kang about once a month with some guys from my office. My mom is Korean so I grew up eating K-food and it is my favorite thing to eat. The lunch specials are decent. Most of the guys I go with have only recently been exposed to K-food, so they usually go the safe route like the bulgoggi lunch box. I always get either the kim chi jiagae or yuk gae jang. If you've got 2-3 people who are feeling adventurous, the kim chi mandoo jun gul is a must. They're pretty good about bringing more of the side dishes if you ask. I've only had lunch there, so I can't comment on any of their late-night options.
(3)Eric P.
Nam Kang is a poorly decorated, basement-level, Korean with great food. Like most of the other yelpers, my first encounters with Nam Kang were well past midnight. Korean food beats greasy diner food for those late night (inebriated) needs. As it turns out, Nam Kang is great for lunch, too. The menu was updated at some point in the past year to indicate which items can be made vegetarian. Who knew there were so many options beyond bibimbap sans beef?
(4)amanda b.
Nam Kang is one of my favorite things in Baltimore. I gotta admit, they know me there. I don't eat meat in general, so I haven't tried most of the menu, but I love what I have had. My absolute favorite dish is the kim chi jigae- kim chi stew. This normally is made with beef, but they cheerfully omit it at my request, even reminding me when I forget to ask (did I mention that they know me there?). In general, they are very helpful at trying to vegetarianize food. My other favorite is the bi bim bop. It's pretty good, though a little heavy on the romaine and light on the seasoned vegetables. The array of banchan (side dishes) that they serve is impressive. Everything is obviously made in-house. I've eaten here with two Korean friends and both of them declared that the kim chi was ALMOST as good as their mom's. If that's not the ultimate compliment, I don't know what is. In addition to the Korean fare, they also serve sushi, udon and Korean-style Chinese food. The meal concludes with an intensely sweet rice drink that they bring to you with the bill. Oh, and they're open til 4am! Nam Kang is almost unprecedented in Baltimore. The food's delicious, the service is friendly, the prices are reasonable and you can eat as late as you could reasonably want!
(5)Matthew L.
Really sketchy area, and there is no parking. The restaurant is clean but the decor, or lack of it is straight out of the 70's. On the bright side I did have a great short rib soup. One of the tastiest i've had. The wait staff did not speak English while I was there. I would pass on a return trip.
(2)Soh K.
The closest thing to a legit Korean restaurant in Baltimore city, Nam Kang saved my life many a time in college. Their soups are the ultimate hangover medicine. Pound a gom tang (beef soup) with some kimchi, then pass out face first on the table. If you have people to share it with, the bu dae jigae (military stew) actually feeds 3. Guaranteed to clog your arteries, but oh so delicious.
(4)Lynne P.
I was hungry, angry, lonely, and tired. It was 1 am and I was on my way home from a disappointing show. Enter Nam Kang. I had heard the name but never visited. 10 minutes and $11 later I left with a quart of beef dumpling and noodle soup, rice, and a box with generous portions of 7 different "fixins." I identified bean sprouts and green beans, maybe soft tofu? some kind of spicy pickle? a sweet cucumber and potato custard? and devoured the rest without asking questions. Obviously I don't know the first thing about Korean food, but I thought the dumplings were delicious and delicately spiced. i will be back. (And to qualify, I was sober: this was not one of those get-drunk-and-eat-just-about-anything experiences, although that would work fine here as well.)
(4)Audrey H.
ok..I have been going to this restaurant since first time steppen on Baltimore in 2001..back then the food was wonderful..soo tasty...over the time, I;ve never complained, I always enjoyed the food. But what the hell happened to seafood sundubu jigae??? I went there a month ago..that soup had no taste at all...I was digging my bowl looking for clams..but nowhere to be found. Not worth of $10 but hey..couldn't complained more because my friends paid for me.
(2)Meatdowntown C.
I think this place is completely underrated. I went there in a Saturday night since we were looking for a decent place for ramen but it was 9pm already so the two only choices (Ejji and TENTEN Ramen) were closed. I was honestly kind of borderline to stay at this place because there was only one other table and the rest of the place was empty. We stayed and ordered and the food was simply delicious. I ordered a rice dish with seafood and it came in a clay pot very hot. My friend ordered one is the soups. While it did not look like ramen it was delicious and it had clear noodles. We had the seafood pancake as appetizer. It was great but it was too much food. As a typical Korean restaurant, they already brought some assorted pickled small dishes (included with the entree). I will definitely return to this hidden gem.
(4)Benjamin F.
They are open until 4am!!! We got the seafood pancake, pork belly and beef cooked at the table, and an order of chicken fried rice. Our food was served with complimentary banchan (side dishes), white rice, soup, and a generous amount of lettuce for wrapping the meat. Everything tasted great, and all of the staff was extremely friendly. There is parking on the street right outside of the restaurant.
(5)Khadijat S.
I went today for lunch and had the Bulgogi. It was pretty tasty, but not the best meal of life by any means. I would go back. It was a quaint and quiet spot. I received a large portion of food and I wiped my plate clean. I did not eat the appetizers that come with the meal however. They were cold and pickled which, I'm told, is how they are served. However, I recently developed a vinegar allergy and couldn't try it. My boyfriend liked it way more than me lol.
(3)Wayne H.
My first night drunk in Baltimore city has somehow led me to this place. Their menu offered all of the spicy, meaty goodness I required to regained consciousness. I believed we had ordered the spicy pork and boodae chigae (stew of spam, hotdog, kimchi, ricecake, ramen). It was served hot atop a portable stove. The clientele seems to be of a mixed crowd, so don't feel as if it's exclusively patronized by Korean folks or anything. Parking was a bit hard to find especially later in the evening, and by that I mean after 2 AM. There's also a karaoke joint upstairs on the second floor, which is brilliant if you aren't quite ready to hit the road just yet.
(4)Dan A.
Came in for a little early dinner. The place was nearly empty. It was rainy and cold outside so I ordered soon dooboo jjigae, a spicy tofu soup served with rice. It came fairly quickly, boiling in the traditional stone pot. It was okay. While there were a lot of seafood in the soup, it tasted somewhat bland. The banchan here was okay. Nothing fancy, just your standard offerings of kimchi, potato salad, bean sprouts, and such. Parking is okay... it can get crowded towards night time and it is in a somewhat sketchy area so just be a little street smart if you go there late (the restaurant is open well past midnight if I recall correctly).
(3)Milo C.
I should have listened to other Yelpers. Not as I have expected from a Korean restaurant. Not only the food is expensive, I am not impress. For example, my Bul Go Gi is $19, serving was small, and it's very oily. I've had it before for $14 with a good serving size. Not coming back.
(2)Bernie L.
visiting from the bay area, and having spent some time in Seoul (though I'm not Korean), I think i've developed a degree of pickiness when it comes to korean food. I grew up in Baltimore, but on my most recent visit back was my first consumption of korean food in the city. I'd heard about the many korean restaurants there, but I don't think they were there when i still lived there. anyway, it was a refreshing change from what i remember as culinary options when i was growing up. Nam Kang is pretty good by Baltimore standards. While i hate to qualify it, it's the truth. It's just about average (or maybe even below) on the grander scheme of things. We got this big fish pancake thing for an appetizer, which while tasty, was a bit on the oily side. I also got a seafood soup, which didn't actually have all that much seafood. The soup was a bit on the salty side. I would have liked to try their barbeque meats or a bowl of bibimbap, but i wasn't really in the mood for eating mounds of food that day.
(3)Josiah L.
the only good thing about this place is i can go there at 4 in the morning and they still serve you, or i can call in from the norabang (karaoke) from upstairs and they bring it up for ya.
