Kitchen Maroo

We ordered some Korean style fried chicken from Maroo and it was SO good! Love how juicy and tender the chicken was. The batter was so crispy and delicious. It came with a side if pickled daikon LOVE IT and sweet and sour sauce. The batter was savoury and crunchy, and it complemented with the sauce so well. Overall, had a good experience ordering from Maroo. Definitely will re-visit to try the other menu items! :

First time trying this place and was very impressed. We got the galbi tang beef rib soup and the spicy seafood pasta which were both delicious! At the end of our meal, I noticed that they had sweet potato cheese cake very rare to find in Ottawa and had to try it out. I really liked how they plated it and it was also very tasty too. I would love to come back to try other items on the menu.

The food here is excellent. We reserved as a group of 8 and the staff were very accommodating. Although I initially came for the Korean style fried chicken, I also ended up getting the beef bulgogi sandwich after rave reviews by the rest of my group. I also really enjoyed the sweet and spicy sauce which comes with the chicken, as well as the fried potatoes which were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

We ordered the kimchi fried rice and pork cutlet rice didn't manage to snap a photo of the cutlet rice, was too hungry . Both tasted great! And we got some fried chicken to-go as well. The place was cute cafe-ish! Loved the food presentation as well. Great Korean fusion food! And I personally think for those who've never had the opportunity to try Korean food in general yet, Maroo offers authentic Korean flavours perfect for Korean food beginners; but also a fresh take on Korean food for Korean food lovers!

I only recently discovered this place, and what a hidden gem it is!! Their food so far has been amazing! My favourites are the kimchi fried rice, which is perfectly spiced with just the right amount of heat, and it comes with a sausage, which is a lovely combo. I also liked...no scratch that, I loved the beef bulgogi sandwich, it's soo delicious! If I had no control I'd buy it everyday!. Got the sandwich with the Korean miso soup. Their kimchi dumplings and udon noodles are great too! This is definitely a new favorite and one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in Ottawa. And to top it off, their service is amazing, I've always been greeted with a genuine smile and great customer service everytime I've gone to pick up my food. I have traveled a bit to different cities and countries, and Ottawa does not have great restaurants with really great food and service, Maroo is one of the few in this city. Maroo restaurant, please keep up the good work and hope you maintain the high standards!

Great food, amazing kimchi and potato side dish, and good price! Our third time being in the restaurant and order fried chicken. The chicken is very crispy and juicy, but a little on the oily side. You will feel a little too much grease if you have more. The food is very tasty, but can also make you feel a little too sweet at the end. But generally, we love the food there! Fried chicken, bulgogi sandwich and bilbogi rice bowl are very nice!

The food was great, tasty and affordable. I was kinda disappointed that my spicy seafood Udon was ti spicy at all, but the flavour was good. The shrimp rolls and sweet potato cheese cake were the highlight for my visitRecommended dishesSpicy Seafood Udon Soup, Shrimp Spring Roll

Wonderful! We went for dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Had kimchi fried rice, the veggie bowl, and brown rice tea. Everything was excellent. Extremely friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We'll be back soon!

What a discovery. Authentic Korean cuisine served pipping hot and fresh. Very crispy batter on top of juicy tender chicken. Spicy Udon was out of this world. Good attentive service.

Place is right beside the Petro Canada on the corner of Gladstone/Bronson. Only street parking available. Ordered the beef udon, bulgogi bowl and fried chicken during our first visit here. The food was amazing. The fried chicken sauce comes on the side which is great for selection and keeping the hands clean. The batter for the fried chicken was light and crisp. They were not greasy at all! The spicy bulgogi rice bowl was not that spicy but it was still very delicious. The building is old so on very cold days make sure you’re wearing a sweater otherwise keep you jacket on. The place is small with about 10 tables. Definitely consider reservations if you can. Place was also clean, including the bathroom. Definitely a place to strongly consider if you’re in the mood for Korean. We drove 40 minutes and we’re not disappointed at all!! We will definitely be back for sure! Highly recommended!!
