Under your ownership quality has definitely been shaky. Came here for lunch one day and ordered a soup and bibimbap. Definitely does not match Korean food by any means. Quality was OK, and banchan was decent. Something just felt missing from everything compared to the authentic K food we would get up north. It definitely scratches an itch, but be prepared to spend if you want to get KBBQ Service was decent and decor was mediocre. Paint job needs a little touchup here and there and color is reminiscent of oops paint from the Home Depot section. read more

Stopped by with my family after spending the day in the area. We ordered the triple beef combo, pork jowl, and mul naengmyeon. The short ribs were the highlight of the meal - tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also appreciated that the staff cooked the meat for us. The ribeye, however, was a bit disappointing. It came out dry, slightly tough, and lacked the flavor we were expecting. The pork jowl came out cooked and tasted a little overcooked. I also thought it was interesting that they served raw napa cabbage instead of the usual lettuce wraps for the grilled meats. The mul naengmyeon was decent but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the meal was enjoyable thanks to the short ribs, but the other dishes didn't quite live up to the rest. read more

Ordered some boodae jigae with a friend. Would have wanted some BBQ but did notice the price which is absurdly high for some reason, so didn't get it. I think it's higher than most AYCE KBBQ locations, unsure if it's the quality of beef but that turned me off a bit -- didn't really use the service as much, the place did get a little loud but it is typical of a restaurant. read more

Came here dinner with an amigo. we went with combo a. I selected this place because its BYOB. the combo a comes with 3 meats, steamed egg and we picked the tofu soup. the quality of the meat was really good. we enjoyed the food. my pet peeve is that we can't grill our own food. we were talking and the lady had to listen to our personal stories. the Banchan is good. the kimchi is not too old and fermented. my wife and my in laws would enjoy this place because they use charcoal. plenty of parking lot parking. bathroom is clean. Interior is very old but adds to the charm and how resilient this place been. read more

TLDR: great service, high quality meat, lowkey vibes This is a small Korean bbq restaurant off the highway and located in a strip mall. Very surprised to encounter this kind of restaurant in the area. Upon entering, you could see that this is a mom and pop shot as the only individuals were older Koreans and the workers. You could tell that the older Koreans have been coming here for a while. The meat was great, banchan was very good and our waitress cooked everything perfectly. I will definitely be coming back for more read more

An update to the week ago review, we've come here more often lately as visiting family, grocery run, meeting with friends, really any reason to be out is a great reason to eat at Keum Ho. While we joke that they could use a renovation, the charm is the well enjoyed nature inside where many decades of happy eating, sharing, and socializing have come thanks to the steadily great food with bonus points for the immense infusion of Korean media with the near dozen TVs all streaming a different channel of Korean media, and 1 often streaming football (that's soccer). The service is attentive as the staff have been here for a very long time with lots of experience and no signs of being jaded which is a double nod to the patrons who always seemingly enjoy the experience so much. read more

This place is a scam. First off, they charged me a $7.95 credit card fee without telling me upfront and then had the audacity to calculate tip suggestions based on the grand total INCLUDING their bogus fee. That's shady, sneaky, and greedy. Just unethical. I've never paid that much to use my credit card, ever. I ordered the Large Beef Combo for $150, which they said was just slightly more than the Small ($130), supposedly enough for two people. That was a flat-out lie. The meat portion was embarrassingly small, I literally wanted to cry when I saw the tray. They cooked the brisket elsewhere and they brought it out in an oblong banchan plastic plate! That's how tiny the cooked portions were. I mean, sure, inflation but you can't justify any of this. And yes, I should've listened to the other reviews warning about the tiny portions. My mistake. Never again. read more

I'd give it an overall 4 rating but 3 for the stone pot rice dishes. It's kind of pricey (closer to $20 an entree), but it came with an adequate amount of veggies and side dishes. They definitely don't skimp on that, and they even have a cute little robot to deliver them. Service was fast because I guess the back is also very busy and the workers handle both. I got the Haemul dolsot (seafood rice on hot stoneware plate). It came with a thin layer of rice on the bottom, but I think it comes with too much sauce because I was unable to get a nice crispy layer of rice (and trust me I didn't touch the rice when it was sizzling). So that was disappointing because I love eating this. The kimchi was good in terms of sourness and spicyness (wasn't weak at all). Menu is diverse and they are having a bunch of promotions. They're in Korean so I don't know what the promotional flyers say. One is about a breakfast special and if you follow and share their instagram, they offer you a 5% discount (apparently only if you are eating kbbq). They also give a 5% discount if you pay in cash. read more

Delicious and would come back again. It's hard to find good Korean in Edison Nj and this is one of the better places. It's clean and food is good. The staff is very friendly as well. We stopped by on a Sunday 5 pm and not many tables but it was probably too early. read more

I'll make this short.... Decor: Homey?... try runned down. Service: Typically Korean, indifferent and begrudging. Food: Pricy, small portions , under seasoned. You'll do better at H Mart's food hall. I read some reviews stating that they compare it to dining in Korean restaurants in Fort Lee... I don't know where these folks ate but this is NOTHING like dining at the humblest restaurant in north jersey.I had to request a egg for my small,expensive and bland soft tofu and garlic and jalapeños for my wife's pork belly....$65.00, yep...$65.00!Run across the street and just dine at Penang. read more

We went to try their bbq food for an early dinner. We ordered tofu hot soup and beef bbq. Their entrees are pricey. But we decided to try it. The tofu hot soup has fresh tofu and veggies. It tasted fresh and delicious. The beef was marinated and thinly sliced. Taste good, but it's so expensive. For a three thinly sliced beef cost $45, for me that's expensive. Service staff are attentive and helpful. Well lighted and clean dining area. We're not going to come back here again. We might as well go to Butcher 360 instead. read more

I'm for SoCal so I have high, Park's kbbq-level, standards for authentic korean food, so when a friend suggested grabbing korean food in a smaller NJ town, I was hesitant. All my fears were relieved when we arrived and were greeted directly by the friendly owner, whose amazing food and warm personality made us feel like we were eating in her home. Between 4 adults, we shared the triple beef combo, which was cooked to perfection by the owner and her staff. Meat was really fresh and high quality, and made it difficult for me to enjoy the abundant homemade sides. They had all of my usual faves plus more - def must get 2nds (or 3rds!) of include her homemade kimchis (radishes, cabbage, AND cucumbers!), seaweed, tofu, and fish cake - and even her potato salad I dug because it wasn't too heavy and had plentiful fuji apples for a nice refreshing crunch. We also enjoyed her kimchi soup and seafood soup (I could've just happily enjoyed one of these for my dinner), seafood pancake, and egg custard but took a ton home and easily had another full meal the next night. My favorite details is that instead of grilling straight on medal, she actually grills the meat over natural wood, and i also thought it was cool that they have private rooms and easy parking, definitely would recommend! read more

I came on a Saturday night around 6 and it was very busy. We were seated after about 10 minutes. After we ordered, we were brought the side dishes which were really good! I ordered the beef soondubu and my boyfriend got the chicken hot stone bibimbap. We also got the korean seafood pancake and order of shrimp tempura. Our food came relatively quickly and was piping hot! The bibimbap was delicious! The soondubu tasted like any other ones I've had and the portion was a bit small. The pancakes came towards the end if our meal but was definitely worth the wait. Since the restaurant was super busy, the staff was running around doing alot. But we didnt really know who our server was and it was difficult flagging someone down to ask for anything. The staff is really nice and makes suggestions though! The place itself has a very homey feel! They have barbecue grills on each table and there are rooms on the side too! I will definitely be coming back to try their bbq! read more

Came here three times in the past 3-4 months. Love their veggie bibimbap, seafood pancake, flaptail, and side dishes. While the food is pretty good, service is just not hitting the mark and their floor is just so sticky!!! They've messed up our order all three separate times. Like forgetting an item or giving us the wrong dish. Came here this past weekend, they didn't cook at the table, they cooked the meat in the back and then brought it out. Don't know if this is temporary or permanent. We ordered 3 orders of marinated flaptail, they brought out two plates. The cut was definitely not the same as before, they were thick pieces of meat, like their short rib. We asked the server if they were flaptail, we were reassured that it is flaptail, they just cut it differently this time. Then, we said we placed 3 orders and only received 2 plates. The lady said yes that is 3 orders, they separated into 2 plates, 1 1/2 portion per plate. Huh? Okay. Then, a few minutes later, they brought out the 3rd plate of meat... There's definitely a language barrier, seems like one or two staff that can really speak english. This place has good food but service sucks and the place feels dated. read more

I feel like I'm giving it a bonus because Boston has such bad Korean food, and maybe this isn't 4 stars by NJ standards, but the food was pretty satisfying! Okay, the ambiance is not great: the table was kinda run down and the bathroom smelled weird. The waitstaff is also pretty indifferent. They also played Blackpink's MVs on repeat, which may be a pro or con depending on how you feel about them haha. (They showed other MVs on the other TV screens, but the music was only the Blackpink MVs.) The banchan were fine; I liked the kimchi and the pepper+anchovy dish. I really enjoyed the bibimbap -- both the beef and pork were very good. The ox bone soup was satisfyingly creamy, but the meat pretty tough. The seafood pancake was nice and chewy, and came out very crisp and hot; could have a bit more seafood though. I found the japchae and croaker pretty indifferent, and wouldn't get them again. Overall, I enjoyed the food, and I thought the price was reasonable, as the six dishes came out to around $150 after tip. read more

I was surprised when our waitress said the galbi was pork and was on the pork list even though traditionally it's beef short rib. We got steered toward the prime boneless short rib and the marinated chuck flap tail. Both cuts of meat were very tender and juicy. Kimchi tasted a little off to me and there was no rice. Salad they give you is tasty though, as is the fish banchan. We also got the octopus dish and it was very disappointing. Octopus was rubbery and one piece had a very fishy taste. The rest of the veggies were good. I'd stick to the meat here. Service was very quick so you do feel a little rushed. Definitely expensive for what you are getting though and not much of an experience because he they don't let you cook your own meat like in other places. read more

We loved the food at Keum Ho Garden! The large selection of banchan was brought to the table by a robot & served to us by the waiter. All were delicious. We were happy with everything we ordered, but we noted that the restaurant is far pricier than we were accustomed & it drastically limited what we ordered. Still the food, service and atmosphere were all very good. read more

One of my favorite places in Edison to stop by for lunch! Staff are friendly and food is excellent! My favorite is the lunch box that comes with giant dumplings, shrimp tempura, fried egg, salad and a main entree of your choice. I usually go for the jeaeyook(spicy pork). The stone bowls and fish/soup combos are also great as well. I will definitely be back at night for some Korean BBQ! read more

I miss Keum Ho Jung - same location but different owners now and the quality and service aren't as good. We had the small beef combo which was $95. You get three types of meat including a nice ribeye steak, brisket, and kalbi. The meat was decent. The banchan was good too - the kimchi is actually spicy. But the tofu stew and steamed egg that come with the combo were bad. The steamed egg was cooked hard and the tofu stew just seemed like it was old and cooking all day. read more

After a half dozen visits, I'm shocked to see that I haven't reviewed this spectacular Korean spot. Kind of out of the way and off route one behind Sam's Club but well worth the find. What do you think when you have kimchee well, this kim-cheed me taste buds with a perfect amount of heat. Spicy baby octopus on a hot pot with mixed vegetables will have your tongue dancing, and they can control the amount of heat if you'd like. My son had the beef Bento box and I'm telling ya, the portion was sizable and he found all the items and dumplings to be quite tasty. Clean friendly service, I'm a big fan and so will you be . read more

I didn't get the chance to try this place. My wife and i walked in and were told the kitchen was closed. I was confused and asked the owner what time do we need to get here to be seated. He said you must get here before 9:00 pm (they close at 10 p.m) I showed him my phone and told him it was 8:51 p.m. He shakes his head and said it doesn't matter. I was so angry and left. Never going back to this place. Horrible treatment to their customers. read more

I'm on the fence with this establishment. I have to say I've had enjoyable meals here for pick up in the past, however, they are not very receptive to a customer's request. This affects the rating overall. For instance, one pays about $110 for two orders of kalbi. If you ask them to give you a banchan per order, they will not give it to you or say they will charge you extra. This is the simple principle of providing decent customer service. Maybe it's different if you sit down and eat at the restaurant as opposed to getting take out. However, if you order one dish, technically, sides come with the dish. Why is it a big deal to have one banchan per order? It's the little things that affect ratings in my humble opinion. read more

CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD CHARGE: They overcharged our credit card by $50. I'm not sure if it was an accident, but our bill, with tip, was $120. I woke up to a $175 charge instead. That is Waygu beef price for their horrible .25lb meat plates. The floors are sticky. The tables are sticky. For the amount of money charged for the quality and amount of meat. They gave palm sized amounts of meat. I wish I was exaggerating. Just avoid it. read more

So this is a review for when I tried this place months ago - maybe even last year. My one friend and I enjoy Korean food together and were trying to find a sit at that time . Parking is easy - as this place is located in a strip mall. We were seating fairly quickly. This place was very traditional and old school. I wasn't very impressed with the aesthetics but was hoping to have an authentic meal. To say the least- my meal was mediocre. I always order spicy pork to gauge my Korean restaurants . Service was also eh. I was hoping it would be better since there are higher ratings but all I can do is rate my experience. read more

So I've never taken the time to write a review before... We ordered what's supposed to be "premium pork jowl". Well, take a look at the photo yourself and you'll see that what's served was pretty much all fat and that small artery-clogging plate alone was $30. When brought to the host's attention, I asked if she could give us a leaner cut and she said that's how pork jowl is. Well, there's no point in arguing... I suppose I've had a much leaner cut of pork jowl in my experience and so I felt robbed. This place is highly overpriced and just not worth it. Save yourself the money. read more

Probably one of the best Korean BBQ I have been to hands down!!!!! Marinated Boneless short ribs were absolutely amazing!!!

I think most Korean restaurants have the same flavor profile. The way I prefer one place over another, are just the little details that I see in each of their most popular dishes. I haven't dine here in the last 5 years. Today I'm reminded of the reason why. I was in the mood for Mandooguk, my hubs chose Galbi dolsot and my kiddo ordered the spicy noodle soup with beef and vegetables. We also ordered the pork fried dumplings. This place is my least favorite out of all the pork fried dumplings I've had in the Edison area. I thought the meat did not retain its juice and the skin was more hard than most. When my Mandooguk arrived, I noticed immediately that the skin on the dumplings were overcooked. A huge pet peeve of mine when I eat this favorite Korean dish. The meat inside could have used more scallions too. This was the first time they were generous with the beef slices. The bad thing, super dry. I gave it to my son, he eats anything. My hubs enjoyed his Galbi dolsot but said it would be nice if it came with an egg like most other places. The one thing I loved was the sweet potato yam banchan. I did not care for their kimchi, it was very sour and had hints of strong ginger. Overall the entire meal was alright! I guess it didn't help to have young rowdy kids sitting at the table right next to you. Service was prompt and professional. read more
