Our new go to Koren restaurant. Food was only surpassed by the family style service we received. Love this hidden gem. Will be back often.

My husband ordered to go Kan jja Jang and Bulgogi, jjam bong. It was ok except Kan jja jang had way too much onions rather than other vege and too oily. I would never order this again.

My girlfriend and I try to come at least once a month because everything is always SO fresh and delicious. We always open with a serving of their piping hot fried dumplings and delectable dipping sauce. I always get my favorite, an extra spicy Chadol Jjampong that blows my mind every time I taste it. We always feel so welcome because the staff actually remembers us and treats us like family. Well worth the price and the 30 minute drive from home for us. We always talk about Okja even when we cant make it over that way and will keep coming back as long as we can! Thank you so so much for everything 😊

My friend and I visited this restaurant after seeing reviews on TikTok.. being that we loooove Korean food we were excited to try. Our server had to be prompted to assist us by the food runner (I’d assume is the owner). While I’m not strict when it comes to service over all.. it would’ve been nice if she’d checked on us at least once or even appeared to be friendly. Anyway, my friend and I pay & leave but i forgot my keys!!!! I had to return to the restaurant to retrieve them, upon retrieving them I was held hostage by the inattentive server who gave me a lecture on why tipping is important. While, I understand her stance, I believe that was an inappropriate conversation being that she was no where to be found from beginning to end. However, the food runner (again.. owner i believe) was amazing, great service and very very kind. With that being said, I will not return as the server left such a bad taste in my mouth that unfortunately the flavor of the food cannot compete with.

I love this place. The service is top notch and the food is delicious. It has a great atmosphere and they can get in and out for lunch also. If you're looking for amazing Korean Food and service that makes you feel like family this is your place.

Server was moody and inattentive. It was difficult to catch their attention. 2 female servers were sitting at the next table and watching kdrama on loud volume and talking non-stop ignoring customers. Had to help ourselves with condiments, and serviette. Yaki udon was too sweet-heavy mirin seasoning.

The food was great, but be aware that there is a mandatory 20% tip for parties of 5 (hope this is not going to be the norm for restaurant, though it seems to be a trend)
