Excellent Korean food! We had the kimchi pancake, steamed dumplings, dolsot bimbimbap and beef bulgogi. It was all great This place is no frills but is cozy home cooking.

If you’re looking for the best service in town, don’t come here. HOWEVER, if you’re looking for the tastiest, authentic Korean cuisine made home style by an elder couple, look no further! This place is definitely a hole-in-the-wall restaurant, with holes in its service and a potential language barrier, but the food more than makes up for that! My boyfriend and I were planning on going to the newly opened Hmart in Cherry Hill, but with the crowdedness, the food court was all sold out. We searched for another Korean eatery and found this gem! Don’t be fooled by the empty restaurant and modest ambience, the food is the real deal. Again, ran by just an elderly couple, so please be patient; it will well be worth it! My boyfriend and I shared the spicy squid and pork casserole and also the black bean noodles. Both were full of fresh crispy veggies and full of flavor. The casserole came with rice by default and the kind lady also brings out banchan, or Korean appetizer side dishes (usually kimchi, tofu, pickled cucumber, radish and onion, but can change by the day). The meal was well worth the price and a great value. We left satisfied and would definitely return again to support this local business ran by the lovely couple!!

Just amazing overall, felt like I was in a grandmas home, I had the black bean noodles and tangsuyuk, both were comforting and it was so good that our whole table was just eating noises, the owner was very sweet too. This place is a must try, and kinda underrated.

This is one of my favorite spots for Korean noodles. The menu is simple and clear, so it’s easy to decide what to order without overthinking. The noodles are always on point, and the service is consistently friendly and attentive.
Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone craving Korean noodles.

The pork hangover soup here is one of my favorite soups. I've tried to recreate it at home, but can't seem to nail it. This is a cozy, small, family-run feeling spot and I personally really like that. This is about 45 minutes from where I live, but I always stop through when I am in the area.

Food is good and prices are cheap. Do not order after 9. They will get mad at you. I came in at 9:10 and was out in 15 min. At the register she reminded me again that kitchen closes at 9pm.

We came for a date night and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. Even though we were the only customers, the owner was watching videos loudly on her phone, making it hard for us to talk.

The food was very bland. The spicy tofu soup lacked flavor, and the beef bibimbap had only a tiny amount of beef. The seafood pancake was the only dish we enjoyed. No drinks (not even water) were offered, and we left feeling quite thirsty.

We won’t be returning.

This was my first time visiting Jjang Ga Nae, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing overall. The restaurant was very quiet with only a few customers, and after trying the food, I understood why.
I do want to say that the grandma working there is very nice, she was kind and welcoming. But I still need to be honest with my review.
Right away, I noticed that they don’t give water or anything unless you ask for it. No water cups, nothing.
We ordered 2 Fanta soda, and while I usually don’t mind as long as it tastes fine, the first sip tasted like plastic and like it had been sitting in the fridge for a long time. When I checked the can, I realized it was both expired (Oct. 2025). I couldn’t believe they served me expired soda, especially when the taste made it obvious something wasn’t right. Today I even have an upset stomach, I’m not sure if it’s related to the soda or just a coincidence, but it didn’t leave me feeling good.🤒🥺 That's all I had eaten.
For food, we ordered the beef bulgogi, LA galbi. The beef bulgogi was mostly onions with very little meat, and the flavor didn’t stand out, more like a quick homemade meal than a proper restaurant dish.
The LA galbi was just okay and insides undercooked.
The soybean soup was watery, lacking depth and flavor.
The side dishes were limited. The potatoes were okay, but the rest were bland and forgettable.
Honestly, the entire meal felt like a rushed home-cooked dinner, not a restaurant experience.
Overall, I’d rate this place 2.5 out of 5. The grandma is sweet, but the expired drink, lack of basic service like water, watery soup, and underwhelming dishes make it hard for me to recommend. I’m being honest because I hope things improve.🙏

Food's really good. Very flavorful.

Probably one of the better seafood pancakes around, filled with stuff.

Bonchan was nice, stewed potatoes were sweet and the fermented kimchi and pickles were strong.

Kimchi jjigae is what you'd expect. Beef bulgolgi is also what you'd expect. Lot of meat.

They gave us a bit of jjang sauce that'd normally go with noodles. Was really good.
