This Korean Restaurant is quite the hidden gem in this town, the cuts of meats are delicious, and their portions are generous! I visited here during the winter and they served a nice hot tea!

Solid Korean-Chinese spot in Ayer.
Heard the buzz about Woo Jung from my colleagues, so I decided to check it out while I was in the neighborhood. Even during off-peak hours on a Saturday, the place was buzzing with locals—always a good sign.
Like any respectable Korean restaurant, Woo Jung serves up a variety of banchan (small side dishes) with every entrée, and they didn't disappoint. From kimchi to the pickled radish and red cabbage, every bite was great. For me, well-executed banchan is the backbone of a great Korean meal, and Woo Jung definitely had that flavor-packed foundation locked down.
From the noodles, Jajangmyun (Black Bean Noodles) was a tad disappointing. The sauce lacked that rich, savory depth I was looking for, and the noodles felt a bit soggy. Thankfully, the Jjam Bong was great. Packed with seafood and just the right kick of spice.
From the entrées, I went for the beef Tang Soo Yuk and the La Zo Gi. The former was a hit—while I usually prefer the chew of glutinous rice flour batter, this classic take worked well. Some pieces had just the right amount of fat, and overall, the beef was tender and juicy. The La Zo Gi, though, was a total disaster. What should have been crispy fried chicken coated in a rich, sweet, and spicy sauce turned into a salt bomb. The chicken itself was dry, and the overly salty sauce only made things worse. It was so bad, I couldn’t make it through more than half of it.
Definitely recommend sticking with their soup-based entrées and the Tang Soo Yuk. While I can’t say it’s better than the top Korean-Chinese spots in Boston, it's still worth a visit if you’re in the area and craving some solid Asian comfort food.

Local Korean restaurant with a no-frills ambience. Food tasted homemade, portions were generous and came out rather fast even if we were a huge party. It seemed like there are only few other commercial businesses nearby which makes this place a true gem for anybody looking for a filling meal after a day of hiking in the area.

Visited this Korean restaurant after biking on the Nashua River Rail Trail on Sunday afternoon.The three items we ordered were all great?? ♥︎TANG SOO YUK (sweet and sour pork/chicken/beef/shrimp) ♥︎ BI BIM BAB(steamed rice/fried rice topped with beef, egg, and seasoned veg.) ♥︎ KIM CHI JI GE (spicy pork soup with kim chi, tofu and pork)

This was my first time trying Korean food. Food was really good, we got all of our food very quickly. The server was very friendly. Inside is very small and has limited seating, is even less parking.

The food is authentically Korean and so so good, the jjajang noodles or rice is my favorite. The Kangpoongki pork is another favorite. Their side dishes are so good. I recommend this to anyone, it's a humble space but with food that's worth it.
Ate here regularly when we lived in the area. Recently, on a trip passing near Ayer on Route 2, we got back to Woo Jung Restaurant for lunch, after a 15 year absence. This amazing oasis of authentic Korean food has not changed. Nothing since has matched it. We treated ourselves to Bi Bim Bap ... Kimchi and Tea came with it!

I have been coming here for close to 30 years. Once I was just a little girl living at Fort Devens.
Their food has always been consistent. It's delicious and not overly complicated to try to make it fancy. Their kimchi is perfect and their bulgogi is just right.
This place is a must try stop if you are looking for a family run korean business
