Mat joeun zip is a small yet impressive Korean restaurant that offers a wide variety of fresh and flavorful side dishes. The price is cost-effective, and the food is prepared with great care, leading to a satisfying dining experience. The restaurant is known for its delectable Kimchi Bossam, Kimchi, and seasoned oysters, which receive high praise from customers. While there may be a wait after ordering, it seems the kitchen takes the time to ensure the dishes are of the highest quality. The restaurant has a long history, with the original store run by a Korean grandma and grandpa. Over the years, the menu has evolved, but the Spicy Squid remains a customer favorite. Additionally, the restaurant is a third-generation family business, with the mother, grandmother, and youngest daughter all playing a role in its operation. Despite some concerns about fermentation, the restaurant is known for its cleanliness and ability to serve large groups with dishes like Bossam, Bulgogi, and Tofu Soup.
The atmosphere is casual and small, making it perfect for smaller groups. Customers appreciate the friendly service, with the staff often showing grandma vibes, and the owner explaining that she started as a side dish place before opening the restaurant. The side dish spread on the table is more than typical, and the new single-serving menu options are helpful for those wanting to try bigger dishes without leftovers. The inside is cozy, and the food is flavorful, not overly sweet or salty, with a good level of spice.
However, the surroundings are not very good due to a laundry and liquor store next door, and parking is limited. Despite this, the food quality and authenticity shine through. Dishes like Kimchi Bossam, Beef bulgogi soup, and Ox knee soup are highly recommended, especially on cold days when the flavors really hit the spot. The portions are generous and shareable, with prices ranging from $25-$45 per item, reflecting good value for the quality. Customers often find the sides better than other Korean places they have tried, and the friendly service makes the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Mat joeun zip is a hidden gem for those seeking authentic, flavorful Korean food in a casual setting.
