    Spicy raw crab
    Esther L.

    I was so happy to see my spicy raw crab on the menu. Their sundubu-jjigae was delicious too. This may sound a little odd, but I actually rarely eat at Korean restaurants. But now that my parents live nearby, we've decided to start doing weekly little field trips exploring different Korean spots together. This was a great start. Service was really great- I love how attentive the servers are and how they refill banchans without us even asking. (So different from what we get in S Jersey :p). The place was spacious and clean. I can't believe I haven't been here sooner but it's worth the 40 min drive to come back.

    Korean food was good. LA galbi was cooked well and their variety of banchan was appreciated. Customer service was good. Liked the ambiance.

    I've been coming here for years, and the quality and consistency has never changed. I usually get their lunch specials. The portions are huge and the banchans are plentiful. I love the fried fish. A great little appetizer to start the feast. Definitely recommend. 9/10.

    I am from Arizona and I have been to this place two times already. Whenever I go to PA, I HAVE TO GO HERE. It's one of my favorite Korean restaurants ever (and I have been to A LOT in the West Coast, Asia, and the especially Korea as well). Their sides are delicious, as well as the entrees of course. My favorite is the Galbijjim (and it's pretty affordable too with the amount of serving compared to the West Coast). It has a good ambiance too for dinner with friends and family, and the service is good as well. Wonderful tasty hot tea!

    Soondubu
    Roxanne O.

    I really wanted Soondubu and people seemed to rave about the additional little fried fish here. The fried fish was a bit overrated, not too much flavor and a lot of batter. The soondubu was hot, not much seafood. But the service was abysmal--we had to look for service several times because it was never there. And not because they were super busy, they just seemed to be standing around.

    The staff was very friendly and beyond courteous. The meal itself was slightly expensive, probably to make up for the complimentary appetizers. I personally would've rather had no starters and a cheaper meal, but some people may not agree. The flavor and spice of the broth was excellent, but very unnecessarily hot. The Dubu was boiling as it came out, which is probably for display reasons, but was completely too hot to eat in a reasonable time The restaurant was very busy and obviously has a lot of regulars so it could be the right place for you!

    Banchan
    Felicia Y.

    Yummy, solid Korean food. I wish there was more banchan but I always wish for more banchan Seafood pancake was very crispy! Bibimbap was plain on its own but if you add gochujang or eat it with banchan it's ok

    Squid & rice
    Eva C.

    That short rib stew is fantastic! Stone pot Squid and rice was nicely spicy but the rice was too moist. Banchan on a Saturday included rib pieces, fried fish, spicy cucumbers, kimchi and salad. Service was fast, as usual, and responsive. Dubu is solid and met expectations. Til next time...

    This spot is absolutely phenomenal -- hands down one of the best Korean meals I've had in town. The decor strikes a perfect balance between modern and traditional, with clean lines, warm wood accents, and subtle Korean motifs that create a cozy, elevated dining space. It feels stylish but still welcoming. Service is fast and attentive -- they're on top of everything, including those all-important water refills. You never feel rushed, but you're never left waiting either. The bonchon (side dishes) are next-level -- not only do they serve the staples like kimchi and pickled radish, but they also offer fried fish, spare ribs, and unique seasonal picks, all well-seasoned and beautifully plated. You could make a meal off the sides alone. We ordered the raw marinated crab (ganjang gejang) -- salty, briny, and rich with umami, perfect over a bowl of hot rice. The galbi (grilled short ribs) were tender, juicy, and marinated just right with a savory-sweet glaze that caramelized beautifully on the grill. And the stir-fried squid had the perfect chewy texture with a punchy, spicy sauce that kept me going back for more. All three dishes were beautifully plated and flawlessly executed. This place came highly recommended to me, and now I totally get it. Whether you're a longtime fan of Korean cuisine or just dipping your toes in, DuBu is a must-try.

    We debated where to go for lunch and the decision, DuBu, was a definite WOW!! Ok, so first we went into the Asian Market which was a fun adventure but no DuBu, which is located in the building next to the Market. Walk into DuBu and what else can you say but WOW! It is truly a good sign to see an attractive restaurant packed at lunch time with everyone talking in a positive upbeat way! The aroma's of good food fill the air. I spot a young man cleaning a table that has just been vacated and he welcomes us to this amazingly WOW lunch experience. I have to admit that I had questions but they were answered clearly and concisely. There are many menu options so you are bound to find something really good and you have multiple spice options. But I was wanting soup so I went with the DuBu Soup with Noodles plus some rice. I thought I was getting soup but I was getting a feast WOW!!!! It felt like I was at someone's home ... someone that wanted to make me happy. Fried fish (Ok, this tested my chopstick skills), a salad with ginger dressing, cucumber kimchi, regular kimchi, and a cold noodle salad. Yes, there was a unified WOW emitting from our table. Did I mention the excellent service? Well the service was grand!!! Each item was delicious and my DuBu soup was a huge portion I knew when I it was delivered to the table that I would be taking it home! Ok, one more WOW!!! I noticed lots of happy people taking bags of food with them ... happy, satisfied, with full stomachs. Plus the dining environment is awesome. So, if you are in the neighborhood stop by for an incredible meal and if you are a newbie just ask your questions because I am sure the. Excellent staff will guide you to enjoying a special meal. And, yes ... you will say WOW we certainly did!

    We were happily surprised that such an authentic, tasty Korean restaurant exists near South Jersey without us having to make the trek all the way to Bergen to find that standard. The tofu was excellent and I really appreciated the add on options of croaker and stone pot rice. They also had interesting soondobu options and they pack on the ingredients. I've also never seen galbi as a side dish. I was so full and the price was hard to beat. Service was attentive and there is plenty of seating inside. It is also next to hmart. Highly recommend.

    Complimentary sides
    Amy P.

    Food was so good! Our order was very red all around and spicy so the refreshing sides were very much appreciated in between inhaling the main dishes. We were really excited to try gejang for the first time. The sauce was so good and I'd say they gave us a decent amount for the price. Ask for gloves to keep your hands clean! The rice cakes was also a large portion despite being an appetizer. The real highlight was the bibimbap! So much flavor! Interior is clean and neat. Servers were all very polite and helpful. Also very speedy.

    I love everything about this place. The endless amounts of sides they replenish you with, the service is great, The Dubu soup is wonderful bowl of medicine. This place makes me want to fly to Korea.
