Overall, the food is good, generously portioned, and reasonably priced. However, the side dishes are a bit limited from the looks of it.

This was so good! We ordered fried rice and the spicy pork - the portions were HUGE! I had leftovers that my partner and I could eat for dinner and be full. It was so delicious, came with kimchi and pickled daikon. It was super fast, and the lady at the counter was polite.

The same atmosphere as the last owners but the new owner is quite rude and impatient. We frequent HMart for our groceries as well as eating here for lunch or dinner. When Areum was built with the new management, the food has remained somewhat the same but the service - the main lady at the counter - has always lost patience at the slightest of inconveniences. Further, I had order tartare once at almost the same price of Hyeban and Koho but the quality was quite literally just barely thawed-frozen beef. The portions of the bimbambap are smaller than before with the prices even higher. Areum does NOT stand up to its previous management and it doesn't help that they even got rid of the sushi bar as well.

If you like authentic Korean food come here. The price is a little high but, the portions and quality make up for it. I got the spicy squid and will definitely go back for it again. My only regret is you can't enjoy a beer with your meal.

The bimbimbap is delicious. The Japchae has no meat and is burnt black. Buy the japchae in HMart for $7.95 and you won't regret it.

The place just starting off. Customer Service lacks English. Atmosphere is food grocery market. Not for fine dining with candle lights and a dedicated server, but for Korean steak tartar and common Korean dishes, it's still good

I've ordered it twice.The person working is very unfriendly.I ordered mackerel with soybean paste and asked for wasabi, but his face changed completely. I thought I had committed some kind of mortal sin. I will never go again.I have been a couple of times.Lady who works behind the counter is so rude.I'm not going back there again ever.

Food was delicious, portions were generous (especially the amount of seafood in the jjambbong), and the price point was even better. We will be back for sure.

Very good quality and taste overall. Jokbal is great.

Richard Bae

Are they serious? Ordered jokbal, 98% of it were inedible pieces. There were literally two normal pieces, and the rest were throw aways. Ordered the medium for a friend, I'm embarrassed if they got what I received. Terrible start to a new business. Cannot recommend this place at all.

Food is mediocre at best. Service is horrendous. Ordered food and took more than 35 minutes and constant asking. Finally I gave up and asked for a refund which they hesitately gave me. Go to the LOTTE MART food court across the street. Much better food and variety.
