One of the best Korean BBQ restaurants in town. The other being a mile up the road. Offers both BBQ and Dine-in service. This is only place outside of California and New York to offer myeolchi bokkeum (spicy anchovies) as a banchan (Korean side dishes), my personal favorite. The waitstaff is very friendly and made us feel welcomed every time we visited.

I always get the Sol Dot Bimbimbap. It is delicious! Especially if you let the rice cook a little and get toasty and crunchy.

We have been going to Bando for over 5 years after spending some time in Korea town in LA and there is a reason we keep going back. Service is super fast, for bbq, food is on our table in less than 3 minutes of being seated. The staff does a great job refilling meat as soon as it’s empty, check on how we’re cooking and change the grill if it gets too sticky. 35/ person for unlimited is a phenomenal deal as you get 5 different kinds of meat and a bunch of sides. I would highly recommend Bando for anyone looking for a great Korean BBQ in Indy!

This was my first time eating Korean cuisine...and it will not be the last! The food was delicious. We had the pork belly and the short ribs. So good. They also provided a nice vaierty of side dishes to accompany the bbq. I will be back!

It was our first time visiting the BANDO restaurant. I ate Jjamppong (SEAFOOD NOODLE SOUP) because I like spicy food. And my wife ate Korean FULL DINNER. First of all, the jjambbong was so delicious that I ate it well. However, if you are Korean and know the real dinner set meal, we recommend a different menu. The number of meals in the set meal was less than expected, and it was all bulgogi and soup. I was also expecting side dishes such as fried fish. The price is high, but the food is delicious. My rate should be 4.5. Not five stars.

From the moment that you enter the restaurant, the aroma of Korean BBQ engulfs you. The server was very polite and efficient. He ensured that we had what we needed and answered any questions that we had. I even appreciated one of the women working at Bando for stopping and showing a more productive way to grill my protein. This is only the 2nd time that I've had Korean BBQ, and I enjoy the experience. The food is good and the different types of relish and Kimchi are great!
