We had dinner at Ajum’s Apron in Chinatown with high expectations, but unfortunately the flavors didn’t quite deliver.
The portions are generous and reasonably priced (around $20 per dish), which is definitely a plus. The banchan was good — well-seasoned and nicely portioned. The atmosphere is calm and relatively quiet, making it easy to have a conversation, and visually the place looks clean and pleasant.
However, the main dishes were underwhelming. I ordered the Jjamppong (spicy seafood stew), and while the portion was large, the broth lacked depth and seasoning. The dominant flavor was crab, but overall it tasted watery and under-salted. I couldn’t finish it.
My partner ordered Tteok Mandu Guk, and the sesame oil was visibly floating on top of the soup, overpowering the rest of the flavors. Instead of being balanced, it felt heavy and one-dimensional.
One concerning detail: the water glass had an unpleasant smell, like it had been wiped with a damp, unclean cloth. I wasn’t able to drink it. I ended up ordering a beer instead, which was fine.
Overall, while the portions and pricing are fair and the ambiance is nice, the lack of flavor was disappointing.
I’d rate it a 3 out of 5 — possibly closer to a 2.5 based on taste alone.

Food was phenomenal! and customer service was great, went in and out. Definitely try out the Sweet and Spicy wings if you don’t know what to get.

Food is absolutely delicious as always, i’ve been a regular here for a while.
However this is the first time the service has felt neglectful. Rather than serving our food, we didn’t see our waitress throughout the whole time we were here. I literally had to go up and ask for a water refill as I got up to use the restroom. Came out and our waters were still empty, had to ask again and it took them a while even though it wasn’t busy.

4.4/5Legit Korean flavors!
The Army Stew is fantastic and feels very traditional. Just a heads-up: the broth is a little salty, so make sure to order plenty of rice to balance it out.
Despite that, I’d definitely come back for the authentic taste.

Food was incredible. It was a little slow so we had full staff attention. Casual but not too much so. Perfect place to curb a craving for Korean food.

Very friendly staff and inviting environment. My go-to order is always the seol-long tang and beef bibimbop! Seol-long tang is my favorite. It has rich beef flavor and generous amount of beef slices.

We used to love coming here.
Today changed that. There has clearly been a change in the kitchen staff since the last time we were here. My husband got the dolsot bibimbap. He didn’t eat any of it as The stone bowl it came in was not heated very well so the dish that is meant to cook at the table was unable to cook. We addressed this with our server and he said it was meant to cook at the table. My husband then picked up the stone bowl to show him it wasn’t heated enough to cook it. He handed us our bill and He told us to let them know next time we came in that it was messed up and they can do something about it. I held onto the bill for a minute to show we hadn’t paid yet. Nothing. So we paid the bill and We won’t be back.
