This is one of the corner stalls in the upstairs of HMart. They have a ton of variety, there's definitely something for everyone on the menu. For $15, I got the octopus stone pot. It was decent amount of food for the price. Although, it did feel like there was more onion than any other ingredient. Unfortunately, the rice didn't get crispy on the bowl like I had hoped. Especially, considering it came out sizzling. You do get some side dishes & the soup is delicious. The service was quick and its typical food court vibes.
Quick service. Food was delicious. Perfect place to get homemade Korean food before or after shopping. Will come back
There a couple of Korean BBQ restaurants near me in Ardmore but have a limited selection of the hot post stew style dishes which I crave. Before I did monthly bulk Asian grocery haul at H-Mary I had to get my favorite stew- yukgaejang in the food court. The menu has wide variety of stews, noodle soup and bbq. Watching the other orders- all look so delicious. My stew had tender shredded beef, glass noodles and some dried Vegetable roots and mushrooms ( don't know the types- but delicious.) and green onions in a spicy beef broth. Comes with a bowl of rice, Kim chee and a side of the day( this time it was boiled peanuts) I take a scoop of rice in the broth with the big spoon they give you and it is so comforting. I want to try anther stew but I keep ordering yuk gae jang ! Prices are significantly reasonable compared to the sit restaurants I've been in Blue Bell and elsewhere. I will be back on my next grocery trip! Tip: you return your tray to the counter when you are done eating. Napkins are ice cream napkins - I bring extra ones Lol. Also bring wipes to clean the table- I don't see anyone cleaning up in food court.
Eating at the food court when visiting H Mart is a must! This was my first time eating at Jian and I wasn't disappointed. The portions are well above what I expected for the price. The pancake was enough for the four of us to share and packed full of scallions and carrot. The bulgogi had nice flavor and I had enough leftover for dinner.
09/24/21; Came here during our planned HMart run yet finished food too late that HMart was closed ;/ The environment in the food court is not that ideal. But for Sundubu Jjige, haven't had it for such a long time and this is absolutely satisfying.
I really enjoy the dishes here, great place for some decent and quick Korean Food, inexpensive & great portions.
Atop the H-Mart is a food court where you can find delicious treats including Beef Bulgogi and Spicy Chicken Bulgogi. Our orders included rice, boiled seasoned peanuts, kimchi, miso broth and a variety of sauces to add the heat. My Bulgogi also came with chopped lettuce, pickled vegetables, seaweed, and sauce. The chicken Bulgogi was spicy. There was enough for leftovers the next day. Jian Korean Cuisine is usually busy. If you have to wait for your order you can always grab some S & P bubble tea and check out the houseware section or beauty store on that floor, or check in and prepare to write your yelp review. We did take out, but there are seats if you want to eat in. The tables are clean, but the atmosphere is a food court on top of a supermarket, not upscale and not quiet. The food is affordable and fresh, it tastes good and there is a lot to choose from. Plus the bonus of having all that H-Mart offers just steps away!
I usually get the spicy pork bulgogi but wanted to switch it up going with the chicken and thinking it wouldn't be spicy but it is lol it's good though. The wait for the food wasn't long either, just a peaceful and simple feast at the food court, other people are nice too
One floor above the Upper Darby H-Mart, Jian Korean Cuisine sits in the far corner of the food court. There's a sizable menu of classic Korean dishes -- you got your jjigaes, your pancakes, your bokkeumbaps. I stared at the menu for a solid 7 minutes before settling on the Kimchi Dol-Sot (hot stone pot rice). Uh... it's alright. Banchan (side dishes) of radish (aight), miso soup (ok), and pickles with sesame seeds (not today, not ever). The audible crackle of the stone pot was the best part of the meal lowkey. It was a very average Korean meal, and tasted like a sauce dump. Sadly, Philly seems to be somewhat devoid of good Korean food (someone please change my mind on this!), although this would be considered decent on Philly standards.
Jian Korean Cuisine is located on the second floor of HMart in a food court. It's the stall that's all the way in the corner. There's usually parking in front of the supermarket and there's a lot across the street as well. I got the Yookgaejang ($8.99) and it comes with kimchi, pickles, and water. For the amount of food they give you I think it's not too badly priced. I think some items on the menu are better than others though. I enjoyed my dish and thought it was flavorful, but the dish that my friend ordered tasted odd. My soup definitely hit the spot and satisfied my craving, but this isn't a place that I'd purposefully come to unless I was also grocery shopping. TLDR: Average Korean food but it's convenient place to satisfy your craving for Korean food while grocery shopping.
This is one of my go-to Korean spots. It's located on the second floor of the Hmart, in the farthest left-hand corner. Parking can be a hassle during peak times, because the spots in front of the stores is shared, but there's two parking lots across the street. I either get the #28 (LA Gal-Bi) or #32 (Spicy Pork Bulgogi). Both are super flavorful and the spicy pork bulgogi is pretty mild. All dishes here are served with rice, soup, kimchi, and nuts. When you dine in, the entrees are served on a sizzling pan and everything is placed on trays. There are also small styrofoam cups you can get at the counter and refill at one of the water dispensers. If you want sodas, teas, bottled waters, etc. they do serve them in the fridge behind the counter. Most of the dishes are around $10, but some are slightly pricer. All of the dishes fill me up and I even have leftovers. The LA-Gal-Bi is $14 and the Spicy Pork Bulgogi is $10. I would recommend this place if you want to try new Korean dishes, but don't want to waste too much money in case you don't love it.
I love this little walk up restaurant on the second floor of HMart. The Yukaejong is my automatic go to meal. This is a one pot, deep red broth, spicy soup, thick with shredded beef, scallions and other veggies. The Yukaejong is spicy, and is literally piping hot. The atmosphere is otherwise no frills. Cafeteria style tables, sit where you can. My son loves the less spicy but no less delicious beebimbap. Parking is easy, as is walking from the train.
So by eating here, I have now completed my tour of every place in this food court. Yay, me! Here, I decided to try the omurice. An omelet with fried rice... why the hell not? In my times of coming to this food court, I happened to notice a lot of the regulars here eating this dish. The gentlemen behind the counter tells me it is really popular with the Korean students. Good enough endorsement for me. It's not overly flavorful, but it's well made. Probably not the most adventurous thing to eat here. But, the rice was well made, flavored mildly with shrimp, and seemed to work very well with the egg. I'd eat it again. But next time I'm going deeper into the menu.
Food was good quality, you could tell it was not from a bag or frozen. Soy garlic had the option of spicy or not spicy. Spicy was not too overpowering. Service was straight forward nothing crazy Open food court so the vibe depends on the day, wasn't busy on a Sunday evening read more

I ordered the soondae guk, a traditional Korean blood sausage soup usually served hot in stoneware with sliced soondae, veggies, and a rich broth. The best thing here is the price -- it's cheap, which is rare for Korean food. The food came out fairly quickly, but since it was served in stoneware, I expected it to be piping hot -- instead, it was just lukewarm. Even worse, the broth was incredibly bland, lacking the depth and seasoning you'd normally expect from this dish. The portion of soondae itself was also disappointing -- maybe 6 inches max, cut up, which felt stingy for a dish centered around it. The banchan (side dishes) included store-bought kimchi and sweet soy peanuts -- nothing special, but not bad either. Overall, it's one of those "you get what you pay for" experiences. The cafeteria-style seating area was a bit dirty, but that's likely not their responsibility. Still, it impacts the overall vibe. Also, no napkins or hand sanitizer available -- both are kept behind the counter, which makes the place feel a bit unwelcoming and overly cautious. After eating, you're expected to place your tray on a rolling cart, which is fair, but reinforces that this is more fast-food than full-service. Overall: A cheap meal that arrives fast, but the soup was bland, the portions were small, and the dining setup could be friendlier. read more

If you're looking for a quick, filling, delicious, no-frills lunch, this is your spot! Stopped in here and ordered the spicy pork bulgogi. I was pleasantly surprised that the meal included a miso soup, side of kimchi, white rice, and boiled peanuts. You can easily split this between two people! The bulgogi was so flavorful and had great heat without being overpowering. I also loved the miso soup. I'd try other items on the menu next time. read more

I was working in the area and this place was suggested to me by one of the locals as the "Best Korean Food" in the area. She wasn't wrong. The food was very good. So good that I went back the next day for more. The first day I had number 14. It was a fish and vegetable dish that was freshly cooked and served boiling hot. It was good! The fish was very tasty and the vegetables were great. The menu said it was a spicy dish, and it was, but not too spicy. The second day I had number 33. It was a chicken dish. Again, it was very good. Lots of chicken! The food is ordered at the counter and then cooked. It's served on a cafeteria tray with sides. The seating is shared with other restaurants. They are located on the second floor of the H Market. They are in the far left corner. read more
About five years ago I use to come to this restaurant frequently. Every two weeks it was my treat for myself, my mother and my youngest son. We all enjoyed the food and look forward to dining each time. In recent years it appears that the management has changed hands several times, changing the taste and quality of the food. I must admit last year I did not dine here often, maybe once every three or four months because the style of food had changed. This is my second time within the last four months it appears a change has been made again. I order the same two items each time I go, Kimchi stew and Korean 'ribs'. Although I have never had an order no matter the management that tasted bad the changes are obvious. Let's start with the kimchi stew. Five years ago the flavor was robust, very hot/spicy and the liquid was heavy, not thick and very red. Over the years and change of management has changed that the soup liquid is now very thin, it's red however not as rich or red as in the past. The flavor is spicy but not hot as kimchi or red pepper paste is known to be. The ribs are plenty but bordering tasteless although they are acceptable when you mix the side dishes with the rice it's a nice hearty meal. There are times when you have to remind the staff to include your kimchi and side dishes as they may think non Koreans may not care for the taste. I have taken my food to go several times and my kimchi was missing. What I can say positively about ordering from this restaurant is, it's a good value for your money. Because Ji An is in a small dining area instead of a restaurant their prices are a lot cheaper. The restaurant is in a mall food court area where you can sit and eat or take your food to go. The food maybe watered down simply because different families cook different ways. But when I want some Korean food I will keep this place in mind especially when it comes to getting more bang for your buck! read more

Came here on a Saturday with my dad. We were planning go shop at Hmart and decided to grab some lunch upstairs. This place is one of the busier places in the food court. The Korean lady wasn't as helpful in answering my questions about the menu. Ultimately settled on the la galbi and the pork bulgogi. Both dishes comes with seaweed soup (meh), bean sprouts in some kimchi sauce, and radish/daikon. The la galbi wasn't that great - flavors were somewhat bland. It comes on a sizzling cast iron plate. Probably not worth the 14 bucks for the meal. The bulgogi was good - I would order this again. For $10, I was pretty stuffed after the meal and was a big lunch. Give this place 3.5 stars overall read more
A quick fast food Korean joint above from H mart. I got the OX tail soup for about $9. Kinda pricey but they give you rice and kimichi and there's free water so I'm not complaining! My friend got the stone pot chicken, I don't remember and I regard getting what I got cause her portions were huge! read more
Stone Pot!! If you come early on a Saturday right about the time they open, there is still a lot of tables open and parking outside. I've had 2 different stone pots here and enjoyed both of them. The first one I had was Squid Stone Pot. The pot was really hot so my rice was a bit crispy - just the way I like it. The rice was still nice and hot up until my very last bit. However, the squid was a bit chewy so it was hard to bit apart. The second one was the Veggie Stone Pot. I really liked everything in this mix, however, the pot was not hot enough this time so the rice was not crispy and cooled pretty quickly. The guy here is super nice and helpful. You can ask him anything about the menu and can tell he knows his stuff. There are water fountains around the area so if you wanted some water, you can just ask for a cup from the business you ordered food from. read more

Excellent authentic home cooked Korean dishes for under $10. Bulgogis, different baps of spicey casseroles with different ingredients spanning meat to seafood and veg. Famous bibimbap rice bowls. Served with sides of bonchon like kimchees and other assorted pickled spicey veggies. Great meal for lunch or dinner read more

this is located in the food court on the 2nd floor above hmart. it is the ONLY place i eat at when i'm there. why? cuz their korean food is BOMB-freakin-TASTIC. the other fast food places in the food court are all japanese or korean/chinese fusion cuisines, so for me, this is an easy choice. the portions are huge and SO cheap! $8 for dolsot bibimbap? $7 for soondubu? $8 for kalbi? BRING IT ON!!! each order also comes with a side of seaweed soup, rice, and some banchan (side dishes, usually consisting of kimchi, beansprouts, radish or cucumber). the sides are just ok. but tell me, where else in philly can you get fast food of such good quality and quantity for this kind of a price? yesterday, i accidentally ordered pork belly. but it was SO GOOD and SPICY! serendipity, i tell ya :) you just can't go wrong here. read more
