Jjang Ga Nae is the real deal. This place is run by a sweet older Korean woman and her husband, and you can feel the love and care they put into every dish the moment you walk in. Don't let the no-frills atmosphere fool you -- you come here for the food, and the food delivers. The pork hangover soup (haejangguk) is absolutely magnificent -- rich, deeply savory, and exactly what your soul needs. The fried pork (tangsuyuk) is crispy, tender, and packed with flavor. And the tofu stew? Perfect heat, silky tofu, and a broth that tastes like it's been perfected over decades. This is authentic home-style Korean cooking at its finest. If you want a polished dining experience, go somewhere else. If you want incredible food made with heart, Jjang Ga Nae is the answer. read more

Simple yet tasty homestyle Chinese Korean food. My group came for a late dinner and there seemed to be a hiccup in the kitchen - we actually heard a bit of yelling from the back at some point. It sounded like the kitchen intended to close an hour earlier, which would be fine but the restaurant should adjust their hours since several customers after us were confused and had to be turned away. We were even unsure about whether our own food was going to come. Ambiance would also feel a little more comfortable if they had some music playing - it was very quiet and almost felt awkward at times. Regardless, our food did come and hit the spot. The accompanying banchan was nice (and pretty spicy!) and portion sizes were generous. It felt like a nice, homey meal overall. The hiccup in the kitchen was probably a one-off, but hoping they can manage their hours better in the future. read more

Jjang Ga Nae - Kimchi jjigae w/ banchan. If it's looking worse for the wear that's my fault, took an hour to get home. Packaged well (no leaks!) - Korean Near Me - Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Food is always awesome as the owner really puts her heart into it. Prepare for a slow service experience.

Talk about authentic Korean food at its best. It might not seem like much from the outside but the food was so good and one of those hole in the wall genuine Korean places that tasted great. Owned by an older couple, simple, great food and so thankful to eat something made with Korean grandmother love. Come with an appetite and do not sleep on this place! read more

My brother & his fiance found this place and introduced it to me, and it has become my favorite spot when I'm craving Korean food. This restaurant is located in New Jersey. The restaurant has a classic and homey look. Our server was friendly, and all the food didn't take long to come out. As K-drama fans, I have been wanting to try Cold Noodle, so when I saw they have it here, I definitely had to try it, and I love it. Their Gan Chajangmyun is also something you have to try if you visit this place. I've tried Chajangmyun in many places, and the Chajangmyun here is my favorite. Definitely, I will come back read more

If you're looking for fancy ambiance and decor this isn't the place but if you want traditional delicious Korean food you gotta go here. This is the only place where I've liked the black bean noodles and fried sweet and sour pork. The sauce is on the side which I prefer. So crunchy. Also a must try is their fried dumplings and fried squid with somen noodles! read more

Leaving another review for this place now that I've been here a couple of times and understand the "nature" of this place As far as I know it's a one woman run shop, she takes orders, she cooks and she brings it out and rings you up. With that in mind please be patient and kind. I've been here a couple times now and my favorite dishes are: - kimchi pancake: quantity & quality match the price. Crispy and lots of flavor - jjajangmyun: this is the best one in the south jersey region. I've tried it all and this is the best I can get as a local - naengmyun: this is all I've been craving while pregnant and it's decent here. Comparable to seorabol, Kim's and h mart in Philly. The one in dolsot is terrible so this one has been my go to in south jersey - squid over rice: my husband loves this dish. He said it could def be spicier but the flavors are still tasty Overall, there's not much selection of Korean food in south jersey besides this place and dolsot and both have their strengths but this place is still decent and even tho it may be a bit slow it's worth it in my opinion. read more

Picture it: It's 98° outside and it's humid. The hot wind is making you feel like you're in a hot tub with clothes on. You just want a bowl of cold beef broth with noodles. This is your place. The place is totally unassuming. It's next to a nail shop in a tiny plaza. The sign looks like it's seen better days but that's why I knew I had made it. It was about 130 in the afternoon, and I hadn't eaten lunch. Two of my coworkers were with me, one of which, spoke Korean. We came in and a really pleasant older woman sat us. She eventually came over and my coworker ordered something in Korean that was apparently written on the wall on a star but not in the menu, and we picked something out of the menu. My shu mai were good, nothing too special but it's ok. My cold beef noodle was so delicate and delicious. They brought out the spicy mustard that usually accompanies this dish and I couldn't have been any happier. The dish felt like "my mom" had made it. Not MY mom because she can't cook Korean, but somebody's mom who was standing in for mine. The dish was nicely chilled and plated. I ate the entire thing. The prices were appropriate and we will be returning regularly I feel. This place deserves the love repaid, that it puts out on plates of food. read more

This is a hidden gem here. The older lady here is the proprietor of the restaurant, along with her helper runs this place. The proprietor appears to work both as a server, cleaner, and a chef Although granted that this place looks like it's falling apart inside and out the food is not bad at all! We were here when we were at cherry hill for medical appointment and this was a not bad detour at all. Highly recommend. read more

Jjang Ga Nae - Korean Near Me - Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Keep in mind this is a real mom and pop restaurant. So the service will be slow and engagement limited. Being able to speak Korean is a plus but not a must. The day I went one older lady was working the entire dining area. She did rather well. The place was 'clean' but a little cluttered. I found the food very close to homemade. The kimchi was flavorful as well as the 3 side dishes. I started with my favorite kimchi jjigae which was really good but lacked the pieces of pork i'm accustom to, then I moved to spicy pork bulgogi good not great. As a whole I enjoyed everything but I find it may be better to make your order to go. For a family member I ordered kimchi jjigae to go it was full of meat and more delicious sides than dining in. The restaurant is out of the way for me so there will be no special trips to dine here. There are so many great Korean restaurants in Philadelphia and the surrounding counties. read more

compared to other korean restaurants around it was pretty bad. stomach felt horrible after eating. the old lady didnt know much english which was fine but demanded tip from the costumer infront of me. id suggest somewhere else like dolsot house. I got the jajangmyeon and beef bulgogi, both very bland and mid. read more

I usually go to a different local Korean restaurant and usually get the pork bulgogi dolsot bowl and seafood pancake. However, I wanted to try Jjang Ga Nae AKA Korean Restaurant. I ordered takeout for Pork Bulgogi and Haemool Pajeon. The Pork Bulgogi wasn't a dish I was expecting and thinking it over, they did have the Dolsot Bibim Bap dish but maybe they don't have the same dish I was looking for, with pork. Your takeout also includes banchan (side dishes). The Pork Bulgogi tasted okay overall, but not something I would want again. The Haemool Pajeon (seafood pancake) was good. On Yelp, it says they are closed on Wednesdays, but on their physical menu it says they are closed on Mondays. I tried to confirm with the woman, but I didn't understand what she said and I'm not sure if she understood me. She does speak limited English. There is also a 4% customer service charge when paying with a credit card. It is located in a small plaza with a small parking lot. 3/5. read more

This is such a hidden gem in South Jersey. Your typical mom&pop local dining place. The best place to get your favorite korean chinese dishes without having to drive over to Philly or NYC. They cook the food fresh when ordered, so be patient! This is my go-to place when I want tangsuyuk (sweet and sour fried pork) and jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles). Always hits the craving & just absolutely delicious. They also sell fresh kimchi for you to take home! read more

This place is a feel good gplacefor korean food. Alot of the korean food bowadays is becoming overpriced and super sweet to cater to the general public but right here is old school. You can tell its legit with all the old school korean ogs that come here and the price is reasonable. read more

Food is decent and price is very reasonable, but don't come if you hungry , if u see there's more than 2 tables just turn around and go somewhere else, this place is always short staffed , just ordered Togo and waited for 40 + mins, then got home found out they forgot my jajangmie sauce read more

Would say the mom and pop vibe was legit and a charming element of a rather underwhelming meal. Lack of staffing made the dining experience long winded and difficult - credit to the one lady who literally was holding it all down. Prices were fair and reasonable. Got a pork and octopus stir fry. Not terrible but definitely not worth a second try. Served with Overcooked vermecelli- it was was inedible. I could be wrong but I'm sure it's not supposed to be over cooked. Side of rice also was weak, dry, and not short grain. Overall decent 2.5/5. Side dishes were decent. Would give it another try; but only in a pinch. read more

I went to Jjang Ga Nae today and I enjoyed the experience. The ambiance reminds me of restaurants in Korea. The proprietor, who cooks, buses, and waits on tables was nice. We ordered chicken tangsuyook (sweet and sour chicken) as well as an order of jjajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce) for each of us. It was good and came with the usual accompaniments: some black bean sauce, raw onion, pickled radish, and kimchi. The tangsuyook sauce was served on the side. Everything was tasty and worth the wait! We'll be back! read more

First time here. It's a no frills, one woman run restaurant that looks a bit sad and rundown. The old lady doesn't speak English well but is super nice. We ordered Jjajangmyun / black bean noodles and Jjampong / spicy seafood noodles soup. Both dishes came quickly within 10mins of ordering. They were delicious and perfect for the cold and wet winter evening. Will definitely go again for those 2 noodles dishes and to support the old lady should we be in Cherry Hill around mealtime. read more

We went for late dinner on thursday around 8:30pm. Place was kind of hidden and random. There were couple tables other than us. Or else we wouldnt have stayed. Ordered black bean noodle (jja jang myun) and spicy seafood noodle (jjambbong) and tangsooyook (fried pork with sweet and sour sauce) overall, food quality and taste were less than average. I left most of my spicy seafood noodle. Wait staff introduced to us that they have a new cook and all the food are delicious. Apparently it's just the way she had to say. She asked us how the food was. We just said ok. She saw that i left most of my noodle. Then she said "you left most of it. Prob it wasn't good for you". I was like.. duhh....! Of course no compensation for bad taste food. Can't really expect good service. At the end, we had to kind of yell to get an attention of wait staff who went inside of kitchen or somewhere and left us alone in the dining room area. She came out and gave us bill. While we were paying , she disappeared again. My partner tried to say good bye and thanks for the food. No answer. What a good way to run the business. Most likely we will never go back. read more

Jjang Ga Nae - Fried pork taste like flour. Sauce seems to be old. (Hope it was not recycled one or real old one) - Korean Near Me - Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Family atmosphere, great food, the ban chan is varied and tasty. The hostess is very kind. Authentic Korean food at a fair price.

Best zzajang period. Been to various places in NY, but this is the best place. Their tangsooyook and kkangppongi are also great. Too bad there aren't comparable places in manhattan. read more

This Korea food is sososo amazing that I have tried in Cherry Hill. Last time tried so authentic Korea food in NYC Korea town.

Super homestyle, and perhaps one of the best Korean places around. Keep in mind: it's a family run business, and it's busy and the food is sometimes slow to come. But the customers inside seem to know and the wait is so worth it. At our table, we got around 10 dishes and had basically no complaints. Highlights for me included the soondubu with seafood, mixed seafood, pork, and vegetable pancake, and japchae. Everything was just so hot and fresh, and the auntie in the back seemed exhausted after everything (there were two people running the whole place) but was always so friendly. read more

Ugh.. was really hoping for an awesome jjajangmyun place down in South Jersey.. was really excited to try this place out.. Place I think is run by a family.. walked in, wasn't really greeted or seated immediately.. we hovered awkwardly for a few minutes until someone waved us down to sit in the corner. Place had a moderate amount of people dining in, and gave us some hope that the food would Be bomb! Disappointment is an understatement.. jjajangmyun was super bland and the jjampong was super salty.. felt like I immediately felt 10 pounds heavier. Prices were pretty expensive for what they were - we also ordered pan fried dumplings which weren't cooked evenly/properly, had parts of it which were still cold and uncooked.. The entire time, waitress never came by.. and we had to go to them to pay as we couldn't get their attention.. People are saying "best jjajangmyun" in cherry hill.. but this is the ONLY jjajangmyun in cherry hill.. lol Sorry, never again :( read more

This is my first time trying out this restaurant and I ordered jjampong to go. I really appreciated that they separated the noodles from the soup base. Despite the fact that I'm Korean and was born there this was my first time having jjampong so I have nothing to compare it to. The noodles were springy and the soup was flavorful not too spicy and had enough veggies and seafood. As far as the ban chin, it's what you would typically expect from a Chinese Korean restaurant nothing more than radish and onion with fermented black bean paste. I'll definitely be back to try the jjangmyeon. read more
