Hwang Keum Jung Korean Restaurant

My experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. The food was very dry, tasteless, and nothing like the pictures. When we asked the staff for compensation or a replacement dish, they refused and showed no willingness to help.
Very poor customer service, unprofessional and not helpful at all.
I will definitely not be coming back and do not recommend this place.

Amazing hole in the wall kind of place.
Run by I'm presuming a nice family and the decoration is photos in the restaurant or of the family! It's the kind of atmosphere where it feels like you were invited over for dinner.
No music playing either, by the way, just a TV.

Food feels home-cooked and wholesome!
There's a long list of options (50+) so it's definitely a place to keep coming back to.

Excellent

Best Korean food we’ve had and we travel a lot. This service is exceptional and they are very attentive. The food is authentic and made to order. It’s very rare to say you’ve never had a bad experience in any restaurant today but we have literally never had one here and have been going for years.

The food is great but the owner is shady and does business poorly. First time, I paid her in all 20’s and she came back to the table saying I was $40 short even though I double checked the amount before giving it to her. She absolutely refused to accept that and made me pay more. I let that go and continued to go because the food is good. Now last weekend I was severed a plate of beef ribs that literally tasted spoiled. I took one bite and spit it out. I get that plate every single time and the owner knows I do, it’s always been great. When I brought this up to her and asked for another plate, she again, absolutely refused and actually started raising her voice and arguing with me in front of other customers. The older lady is the owner and she’s a con artist. Will not be returning for this overpriced food. At $30 per plate you’d think the service would be better.

This place was great. I was down in Brunswick visiting my mom and decided that I wanted to try some of their Korean restaurants in the town. I decided to go to this one and I was not disappointed. I lived in Korea for a couple of months Back when I was 12 years old and this reminded me of the food that I used to eat over there. I have had Korean food over the years and nothing really ever came close but this did. I got the Yaki Mandu and the Bulgogi and rice. The goalie was very juicy tender and tasted great. The Yaki Mandu Was crispy and tasted amazing. It is a very small restaurant maybe eight tables on the inside. And I do believe it is family owned, so there will be a little weight when it comes to getting your food. Overall, it is worth the wait because the food is good it comes out fresh. The portions of food are great, especially for a single person. The two negatives that I will mention is, the food is expensive, and they no longer sell kimbab.

Very authentic food and experience here. It's a mom and pop place. So your order may take a little time, especially if they are busier. At this visit we were the only dine in order with a take out customer waiting. The side dishes were very good and they also sell jars of kimchi too. We tried the japchae and pork bulgogi both were very good. Definitely worth a visit.

Oh my goodness. I can’t say enough good things about this place. My family and I love Korean food and were so pleased to come across this restaurant. We ordered several different entrees and every single one was delicious! I ordered the bulgogi. It was so good! The flavor was perfect! The kimchi was so good too! It had a nice little bite without being so hot it takes away from the flavor. The restaurant was simple, but had a nice vibe to it and the adorable lady that waited on us was absolutely perfect and precious. My poor husband at himself into a food coma 😂. It was a great experience and we can’t wait to go back!
