4% off your bill if you pay in cash. I enjoyed the fried dumplings as an appetizer. Everything tastes better fried and this was perfectly crunchy and airy. The stir fried vegetables with tofu, while ordinary, was still better than my expectations. I'm a fan of tofu and this one is fried and goes with the theme that anything fried is good. Onto the entrees and we got more fried things. I e ordered kkanpungi and I had better elsewhere. The sauce flavor was a tad too sweet. Jjangmyeon with the green noodles was good but I would give the edge to the brisket jampong.
Great Northern Jersey alternative to going down to Fort Lee or Pal Park. The jjambbong broth is rich and warmed my soul with its seafood flavor. The samseon jjambbong came with a large whole shrimp, some smaller peeled shrimps, crab legs, mussels, squid, and a palm-sized baby octopus! We also ordered the tangsooyook and the ganjjajang noodles. The ganjjajang was rich and deeply savory. The portions are here hearty and large. We came in on a Sunday evening around 5pm and we did wait quite a while for our noodle dishes, but the restaurant was full and they had plenty of people in and out for take out orders as well. Solid spot for Korean-Chinese fare.
First time we ordered to go from Ewha Won and the kids absolutely loved it! Normally we eat at the restaurant but we just had our first grandbaby and we decided best to eat at home for awhile and the food held up to reheating!
Place has changed from 5 years ago. Still good. On the pricier side. Service was good this last time time. The time before the servers were very curt, which I guess is expected for the metro area. Much friendlier and timely service. The food Jjajangmyun, Kkampungi, Tangsuyuk were all very good. Ambiance has a small Korean restaurant feel to it.
Barely 30 minutes into lunch service, so we expected to see one or two groups of diners at most. Instead, we walked into a bustling room chockfull of people, some of whom had yet to order, apparently. There was one front-of-house staff literally hopping and running around the room taking and bringing out orders, so after what felt like 20 minutes, we were seated and so the 5-star experience began. - Jajang with green noodles: possibly one of the best we've had EVER. The smoky flavour of the onions, sleek, warm, tender noodles, and the odd zucchini and pork all made for a knockout bowl of jajang. 5/5 - Sweet and sour pork: tender chunky pork with light batter, sticky sauce with an apple curry tinge, and a colourful mix of veggies. My only wish is for a bit more of those crunchy fresh veggies. 4.5/5 The staff is forgiven for not checking on us once, and the place otherwise seemed to be run like a well-oiled machine. It seems also that you could pay at the register or have the staff bring three cheque to the table. We'd go back in a heartbeat.
