    Bulgogi Bibim Rice
    Joyce H.

    Solid food for casual Korean dining. I was pleasantly surprised that the Bulgogi Bibimbop actually had a little bit of crispy rice at the bottom of the hot stone bowl. The weird part was that they had the gochujang sauce in those small plastic takeout containers and they only gave me one which was not enough to flavor the entire bowl. All in all, the service was good from my experience, but I did notice that for a larger party, they had to go up to the register to place their order with the waiter multiple times.

    My friends and I stopped in for lunch on Sunday, at 1 PM, following the Jersey City marathon. One or two parties of two also came in, and a couple people came in to pick up delivery orders. But overall the restaurant was really empty. The food was just fine. The kimchee fries seemed they would be a winner - with a name like that, it's like "what else do you need to know" - but the fries themselves were lacking crisp, and the kimchee didn't stay on the fries, leading to an uneven flavor distribution. On the other hand, the dumplings were nicely textured. I didn't really understand the stir-fry. Served on a tiny plate, it had to be either delicately stabbed with a fork, or gingerly handled with chopsticks. A larger plate would've let me scoop it up in larger portions. I'd come here for takeout, but not to dine in again.

    Bulgogi Kimchi Tofu Soup

    The food is amazing and tastes authentic. They also have a great lunch special deal. My favorite is their tofu soup. The restaurant is cute and cozy and they have an adorable kitty that watches the store after hours. The staff is also very friendly.

    Decent Korean spot, food is good enough to satisfy a craving! Ordered Kimchee Fried Rice with beef. Was pleasantly surprised by the portion size - Had lots of leftovers which was great! A bit disappointed by the proportions - very little beef, and the rice was a bit dry. Cute corner spot with hanging lights, some pictures and tiny flower decorations. Definitely a comfy feel. The employee served you the food at the table which is nice, but service wasn't particularly friendly at all, felt pretty indifferent. Still, good food and flavorful!

    This is an awesome casual place, with excellent food. You arrive, order at the counter & they bring the food to you, nice casual ambiance. Not sure if they are BYOB but that would definitely be a nice plus. The food is great. Favorites are the kimchi fried rice, spicy wings & spicy chicken stirfry. I felt that the tofu stone bowl could have used more flavor, but i loved the crispy rice. Also, I wish the veggie waffles were a little crispier and less oily. Next time, I'm excited to try the lava cake.

    we ordered online (or called, something like that) and i went over to pick up our food. the pick up process was very seamless, i really just picked up the paper bag that had my name on it and then off i went. while i didn't dine there, the decor was very homey and there was another couple eating there having a good time. it's a cute little neighborhood korean spot. what we ordered (* = my faves): - lunch special: mini bibimbap & 1 any appetizer (japchae)* - bibimbap - spicy pork LOVED THE LUNCH SPECIAL. the mini bibimbap is not mini at all and it filled me up for lunch. i left the japchae for leftovers and had it for dinner. super worth the value! flavors were yummy too, def mix in the spicy sauce with the bibimbap for max flavor! my boyfriend got the spicy pork and he said it was good. his little brother got the big bibimbap and he also said it was good. i will def be ordering that lunch special again!

    Kimchee fries
    Puja D.

    Honestly, I'm surprised this place only has a 3.5. Based on my experience I would have expected at least a 4. I'm giving a 5, food was delicious and service was great. Spicy pork shoulder, bulgogi bibimbap, spicy tuna roll: all delicious. The kimchee fries were okay but overall, loved the food and will def be back! Also, our server was really nice and our food came out very quickly.

    Scallion waffle
    Bushra H.

    I guess people in Jersey City don't know what good Korean food is? I was pretty disappointed. The food is okay but it's very amateurly made. The kimchi is not fully developed. Really lacking the deepness in flavor that I have had at other places. The banchan was also a very disappointed. The items were not fully pickled either. The highpoint of the meal is that instead of the traditional scallion pancake, they have a scallion waffle. But honestly if the only interesting you do is turn a pancake into a waffle, you gotta step up your game. I ordered the spicy bulgoggi tofu stew, which barely had tofu. The beef was okay but the whole stew was lacking. The accompanying rice, which should be Jasmine rice, isn't. The bathroom is filthy so be aware. The staff doesn't really know much about the food or how the restaurant operates. I got confused looks when I asked a question. Overall, it was a disappointing meal.

    This is a cute corner spot in JC with an affordable menu of Korean items. The portions are a bit off and each item could've been altered a bit to enhance the flavor, but overall a decent place to grab Korean cooking. (I would've enjoyed a slice of a lime to increase the taste on the TaKo or a bit more melt on the kimchi cheese fries since they were just warm.)

    Spicy pork tacos. Highly recommend
    Peipei Y.

    They will bring you menu on your table, but you have to get up to order food by register. Food comes fast, luckily they bring food to your table. Lol The spicy pork tacos are amazing. Definitely have a try! We ordered bulgogi bibmbop and seafood tofu stew. The stew flavor's good , just be aware their rice is really dry and hard.

    Our soup that was spilt all over the containers
    Jamie C.

    Zero stars for this establishment!! We ordered delivery and it was the worse experience ever! Disgusting!! We ordered 2 soups- when the delivery guy picked it up he spilt one, so had to return back to the restaurant to get another one.. he ended up spilling that one too. When food was delivered we were missing one soup and the rice containers had soup spilled all over it- when we opened up the rice container there was a cigarette butt in it. We assume he spilt it on the floor of his vehicle and scooped it back into the container. We called to complain and really didn't get satisfactory results. They offered to refund one of the soups and and discount our next order- who the hell would want to order from that disgust place again?! Please save yourself and money!! We tossed all the food because who could trust what the delivery person did with the rest of the food.

    I ordered a large catering order from Kimchi guys for a company meeting, and it was INCREDIBLE!…read moreDavid Lee, the owner, was super accommodating and helped me order an appropriate amount for ~70 people for a "sampler plate" of everything on a Friday afternoon, talking me through all my options and helping me select the right foods. 1. Food was absolutely phenomenal, and so many employees gave raving compliments. We ordered vegetable mandu & beef mandu, Tteokbokki with Gochujang, and Kimchi - and it was all delicious. The mandu were flavorful and didn't even require a dipping sauce like so many dumplings, the Tteokbokki was spicy and chewy, and the kimchi was crunchy and amazing (their kimchi is made with Fish sauce). David (the owner) even made one order of the Tteokbokki vegan for us (without the fish cakes and cheese) without charge! 2. David was able to accommodate my last-minute order (ordered the Friday before, the event was the following Wednesday) and delivered exactly at the requested time (delivery to Chelsea in Manhattan at 3:30 PM). He texted and kept me updated, and the food was delivered hot and cleanly packaged. He made sure to tell me which items were which too so they could be labeled for allergens. 3. We had tons of leftovers and I put them out today (Thursday) for employees to take, and everything was just as tasty the next day. We immediately had a bunch of people lining up to get more once I made the announcement! All in all, this was a delicious choice and the only negative is that it isn't located closer to me! 11/10 would recommend (See some next-day photos of the amazing leftovers! Pictured is the Beef Mandu, Tteokbokki, and Kimchi)

From the moment we walked in, the owner personally seated us and ended up cooking our food himself. He has a quirky, memorable personality that adds to the charm of the whole experience.

You can really tell the ingredients and spices are balanced the way Thai food should be -- bold, savory, a little spicy, and deeply satisfying. Everything we ordered had great texture and presentation as well. Overall, it was a unique dining experience with authentic flavors and a memorable host.

    A Decade of Love on a Plate: A Local Favorite That Punches Above Its Weight…read more This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem--the kind you almost want to keep secret, yet can't stop yourself from praising. Cheap and cheerful on the surface, it punches way above its weight class, delivering inventive, clean, Asian-inspired food that's masterfully cooked by clearly skilled hands--and made with real love. I've been coming back year after year for most of this restaurant's 10-year lifespan, and that consistency is no accident. Every dish tastes intentional, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying, with a clear goal: to feed people love on a plate. It's a super veggie/vegan friendly that easily wins over even my "meat and potatoes" husband--who happily cleans his plate every time. In an era where genuine hospitality feels increasingly rare, Perry single-handedly restored my faith that quality service is not extinct. Warm, attentive, and authentically kind, Perry makes every guest feel seen, welcome, and cared for--without pretense or attitude. This is food that nourishes, service that uplifts, and a place that keeps you coming back not just for the flavors, but for how it makes you feel. A true neighborhood treasure.

    Mediocre food and very slow service!…read more This place was a disappointment for what I hoped from a highly rated ramen place in the area. The service was quite slow, almost waited 1 hour for entrees to be brought to the table. It's a small place with limited staff working everything. The food was fairly basic. The fried rice seemed to be bland and below par despite ordering the spicy version. My friend who ordered the ramen liked the soup but the meat was not fully cooked and felt chewy.

The main difference is that the JC spot has a full bar with awesome bartenders and really fun, creative drinks, while Montclair is BYOB. Both have great energy, but this review (and the drool-worthy photo attached) is for the downtown JC location. I'll admit it- I'm a creature of habit. I've been here more times than I can count, and I always order the vegan ramen. As is. No extras needed. It's just that good. The vegetable broth is hands down the best I've ever had. I could sip it straight from a mug and be happy, but the noodles and fresh, crispy toppings take it to another level. Every bite feels balanced and intentional. The ambiance is fun, modern industrial, and a little dark but lively. One wall is all exposed brick, which gives it such a cool vibe. The metal chairs aren't exactly built for lounging, but come on, we're downtown slurping ramen, not hanging out at a sleepy café. The staff is always friendly and totally on top of things. They know the menu inside and out, so if you're ordering vegan, you can trust you're in good hands. The food really speaks for itself. I'll be slurp-sip-repeating here for as long as Ani Ramen keeps those bowls coming!

That's all we would have ordered had we known. The Tokyo shoyu ramen was awful, unflavorful and way overpriced. Egg costs extra for ramen... bizarre. All other places add everything for the same price and way better flavor. Noodles overcooked. Pork bowl also bland. This place is a pass for us. We miss vivi bubble in Hoboken.

EDIT: Went in next day and spoke to a manager, only mentioned portion size and showed the picture, didn't get a chance to say anything about everything being overcooked. He had clearly heard these complaints about portion size before, because he immediately launched into saying the cut of beef + tendon they use for the rendang yields that as their standard portion size. He refunded the calamari. I still won't be going back and would never recommend this place, but wanted to acknowledge the resolution. Also my husband unfortunately wasn't there to speak to them, but he's been in restaurants for 25 years and knows they served chuck, not a fancy cut...
