Dae Jang Geum

likely the best Korean restaurant in the area. Bbq is excellent. Naeng Muen cold noodles is great. Galbi tang, rib soup is awesome. Galbi is great too. Delicious

Overall, the food was tasty and the staff were friendly. I especially enjoyed the grilled mackerel. The hot stone bibimbap was too oily for me, though. I get that they probably added extra oil to keep it from burning, but it ended up being a bit too greasy and I couldn’t finish it. The place was a little on the dark side inside, but overall, it was a nice meal.

The food here is authentic and the service was over and beyond! Kevin and Su Ahn were amazing at serving us and ensuring that we had a wonderful experience! We don’t have tons of pictures of food because we finished everything so quickly. We ordered Seafood pancake, galbi dolsot bibimbap, and different kinds of marinated beef BBQ. So delicious!

Ordered $1,400 catering food for my uncle’s funeral service as this location was his favorite for a long time. Turns out this establishment couldn’t even bother providing fresh food, and made the entire thing the night before. Fried catering items over 12 hours before the event, causing fried items to have hardened texture. Now, I have my own share of experience in the food industry — it seems they didn’t even bother re-frying them. Texture and taste screamed out to me that it was microwaved before being delivered. Not even within the acceptable, safe food temperature range.

Entirely disrespectful and I cannot even put it into words how this establishment neglected years of patronage my uncle provided for this location.

I’ll never be visiting again. 이런 일을 대충 마음 없이 하시면 부끄럽지 않으세요?

It is not mainstream and gives the vibes of walking in to a Korean restaurant into an authentic family owned restaurant in Korea.

Have been here several times and loved it every single time.

Its not flashy, it's not upscale, and it's busy. The people there hardly speak english, but everything is so authentic. They serve barley tea, they have onion salad, and it makes you know that they are legit.

Please don't go here if you are in a rush, looking for something fancy, or are not patient to work past the language barrier.

Do go here if you love authentic food, a personable experience, and friendly staff.
