It was delicious, but I haven't been going since the hair came out of Jjamppong.

We ordered tang su yuk(fried pork). When the foods came out, the source was already poured to the food already. It looks and tastes like it was poured a while ago so that it was soggy. So disappointed. The server didn’t even ask if we want the source on the side or on top of the food. Normally for the tang su yuk, they bring the source separately so we can either pour it or dip it as we wish.

Been coming here for years, left the area and came back for a visit, still great. Friendly reminder for those who are not familiar: *Bulgogi - More Meat, Side Rice and *Bibimbap - More Rice, Less Meat.

Last Sunday I ventured to Ja Kum Sung, a Korean restaurant in Glen Burnie. The name “Ja Kum Sung” means “The Forbidden City” in Chinese characters, but it’s written in Hangul as Ja Kum Sung. This place is renowned for offering a taste of everything Korean cuisine has to offer, including Korean-style Chinese food. Yes, you heard that right—Korean-style Jajang myeon!

Jajang myeon, also known as black noodles, originally hails from the Shandong region of China as 炸醬麵. It made its way to Korea in the 1890s and has since evolved into the Korean-style Jajang myeon we know and love today. This restaurant’s Jajang myeon is nothing short of a masterpiece. I highly recommend the “Gan Jajang,” where the sauce, made by stir-frying chunjang without starch with vegetables and meat, is served separately.

The noodles are thick and chewy, and the fresh ingredients make each bite a delightful experience.

But wait, there’s more! Alongside the Jajang myeon, I also ordered Galbi tang. This soup is a heavenly concoction of tender, slow-cooked beef ribs in a rich, flavorful broth. My wife opted for Dogani tang, a dish similar to Seolleong tang but made with bovine cartilage instead of sliced beef. The milky bone broth topped with thinly sliced green onions is a sight to behold and a treat for the taste buds.

For our main course, we chose Yusanseul, a Korean-Chinese dish that originated in Korea. It’s a delightful stir-fry of shiitake mushrooms, sea cucumber, bamboo shoots, enoki mushrooms, shrimp, pork, chives, ginger, and garlic, thickened with starch. Just like Japchae, Yusanseul is a favorite among Koreans.

This restaurant is not just a place to fill your stomach; it’s a place to experience the essence of Korean cuisine. If you ever find yourself in Glen Burnie, make sure to visit this spot. You’ll enjoy delicious food and have a great time.

We visited on Sunday lunch time, first we walked in there was long hair dog in restaurant that it wasn’t the service dog. We set on the table and table was very sticky. Waitress ordered our food but she didn’t serve or ask any drinks ( not even water ) till we asked and she waited till serve with foods. There was no Salt and Pepper on the table. Galbi and miso soup was cold. Hot Stone Bibimbap (Rice was too hard to eat , overcooked ) but most amazing surprise is they charge $3 for 5 pieces lettuce ( no refill ) really??? on top of that she forgot to bring one of menu. We took friends who was visiting from VA and so embarrassed. We are so disappointed of this restaurant!! I don’t think I will ever visiting this place again.

We moved in this area. Some how we happen to visit this place more often. 3 days ago we went out there for dinner.
Very unpleasant experience with the wait person. While we were there she came and order food and brought it out to table was it. Some of the food were brought out by other wait person. Never checked on us again. I rang the bell to ask more water, she never came back again.
We just left at that point.
The place was not busy at all and had not proper service.
