    Super happy to have a Korean chicken spot open up in Jersey City since it's a craving I often have, but I was left disappointed with the flavors. Ordered the soy garlic and sweet chili wings. Both flavors were very weak and lacked sauce. The breading on the other hand was crisp. They also packaged it in a reusable tote bag which was super neat. I would give this place a few more months to settle in and adjust their recipes before trying again.

    Fried chicken wings
    Monica L.

    Really wanted to love it. Ordered plain chicken and takoyaki. Takoyaki good but the korean fried chicken which should be the real thing came with no taste at all. Ordered the plain ones and they were not even seasoned... not sure if something happened to the kitchen that day because it was def crunchy and delivered hot.

    Korean Tacos
    Lina L.

    I was craving some sort of Korean food and I found this on Yelp! We got the Tukbokki, soy garlic chicken Korean tacos, soy garlic strips, and sweet potato fries. I definitely recommend trying the soy garlic strips because it tastes amazing. I liked the sweet potato fries and tukbokki! I wasn't a fan of the korean tacos- the chicken was sort of bland and had way too much sauce. The place itself is clean and has some seating area. I came to pick up in the afternoon on a Saturday and they weren't super busy. The staff in the front was quick to get my order, but didn't seem too friendly.

    Wings and Drums Combo - except I got the opposite of what was described--- Only 4 Wings and 10 Drumsticks.

    Decided on some Korean fried chicken wings for dinner last night for the first Thursday night football game. I ordered the Medium Wings and Drums combo which is supposed to come with 10 Wings and 4 Drumsticks. What I got was the opposite- 4 Wings and 10 Drumsticks ?!!!! Disappointed because we wanted more wings.... But overall the chicken was NOT dry and the soy garlic flavor was good and not too salty.

    I ordered a large catering order from Kimchi guys for a company meeting, and it was INCREDIBLE! David 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)

    I'm not sure what happened to my order. But I ordered 5 piece tenders and fries to see what the hype was after Bonchon closed down... and I was very disappointed in what I received for the price I had to pay. My tenders were INCREDIBLY dry, was barely any chicken, and the seasoning of soy garlic was way too salty. The fries were decent, but I just wouldn't recommend this place to anyone else.

    Wings
    Nikhit K.

    This is a new restaurant in the downtown Jersey City area. Service was fast and restaurant is well maintained. The wings were fresh, crispy, and reasonably priced. I tried the soy garlic, spicy, and sweet chili sauces and enjoyed them all. Definitely will be back to try other dishes

    I had lunch here with my sister, and it was AMAZING! Very fresh, crispy, and flavorful. Next time I'm in town, I will definitely stop by. I wish they had a location on the West Coast.

    My friend and I drove in from Staten Island and were looking up soul food restaurants in New Jersey…read moresince we were going to be in the area visiting the Liberty Science Center with the kids. After leaving the science center, we decided to head straight to this establishment, not knowing what we were getting ourselves into. Little did we know, this place is extremely popular and that we probably should have placed an order ahead of time. We ended up waiting about an hour and a half for our food, and to be honest, we were extremely frustrated. We were hungry, annoyed, and disappointed because no one communicated that the wait would be that long. If we had known ahead of time, we likely would have made a different decision. That being said, we decided to be patient and wait--and I am so glad we did. Once I got back into the car, I took a small taste of the food and immediately looked at my friend and said, "OMG! This food is so delicious. You're not going to believe this!" When we got home and actually sat down to eat, we were blown away. The quality, flavor, and care that went into the food were incredible. Every bite made us understand why this place is so popular. I don't enjoy waiting that long for food, and I do think better communication about wait times would make the experience much better. However, the food was so phenomenal that it completely changed my perspective. Great food is hard to find, and this place truly delivers. I would absolutely come back again--but next time, I'll definitely order ahead!

I ordered the fried fish with sides of candied yams and macaroni and cheese. The fish was fried perfectly and tasted great. The yams were one of the best I've ever had. The macaroni and cheese was also amazing. I was going to try the meat loaf which is supposed to be really good too but they were all out by the time we arrived. The service was pleasant and we were in and out in 20 minutes. I will definitely be back to try other menu items

Ive been wanting to try this place for a while so I was happy we got the chance. For drinks, I got the rum punch. For an appetizer, we got the jerk chicken egg rolls, which was really good. The sauce on the side was really good. For dinner, I got the curry chicken with the roti bread. My friend got the stew peas. My curry chicken was okay but the sauce was not think enough and the curry not spicy enough. My friend enjoyed her food. My only regret was that we were provide a sample of the coconut rum punch while we waited for our drinks, and i should have gotten that one instead. It was very good and better tasting the the regular one. Service was really good. The ambiance was nice, music was playing and we enjoyed ourselves.

Hot | Taro milk tea /w Boba + Thai Milk Tea /w Boba Portions were great. The bubble tea - there are plenty of them around here, but I really liked the ones here. Very nice to see a merchant that has Korean dishes of all varieties including donuts - churros - corn dogs!!! Absolutely loved the menu. The chicken and drum sticks were soy sauce garlic marinated. Crispiness was great. Portions were fantastic. Plenty of actual meat behind the fried skin. Both were delicious particularly with accompanying hot sauce. One of the better Korean fried chickens I've gone to. The drinks were good too. If you don't want to visit two merchants (chicken + boba) the two drinks I ordered I consider single boba store level. Gong cha, etc. Loved our food and drink. Had left overs for next day and gobbled it up with wifey. Service: Lidia took my order her service was fantastic! At the end she gave me a matcha donut on the house as we were talking and she was explaining the 15 year history. Highly recommend trying this place. Super Bowl 2026?

The food was very good…read moreuntil I bit down on a very small but sharp piece of plastic served on my pita bread served with my trio dip. The server apologized and offered another plate of pita. At that point - I did not want to eat anything else. I'm was quite upset that I was not offered any type of discount considering if I swallowed it All could have been injured! I wanted to compla n and speak to the manager but they was with my daughter and grandson and didn't want to make a scene. My 11 month old grandson was eating a side of mashed potatoes and if it was found inside his dish - that would have been a disaster. I wasn't even offered an explanation of where it came from or how this could have happened. Very disappointing!

    Let me just say, this was the FIRST restaurant in Jersey City that I had absolutely no complaints…read morewhen it comes to the taste of food! I was surprised, with how surprised I was at the taste and quality of food. Due to food prices rising and quality going down, I have managed to cook at home as much as I can. I usually go out, order food, pay all that money, and regret it because it wasn't satisfactory. I was really pleased with this restaurant. I went for brunch. The steak and eggs plate was more than enough. I'm not a bread fan, but the biscuit with the homemade strawberry jam was actually to die for! The biscuit was fresh, moist and soft. The jam was not too sweet and paired together they were extremely satisfying! I could've eaten the biscuit with just the eggs and still recommended this place. I did think the steak was not the best, but the chimichurri sauce on top *kinda* helps you get over it. If you're a big fan of steak, know what well cooked steak is and that's your favorite food and you need it done perfectly, you also will not like it. To add to this point precisely, generally, steak and eggs plate are on the pricy side. With how good everything else was on the plate, how much food is provided and the lower cost of this steak and eggs plate makes it well worth it! Idc, if you feel like you make the best pancakes out there, the softness of these pumpkin pancakes are simply unbeatable! I absolutely love pancakes, and these may be the best ones I have ever had. They melt in your mouth and there's not much I can say other than please try the pancakes! They offer blueberry pancakes as well, but I did not have those and can't speak on that! With the trio appetizer, I think the pita was very good. Perfect crunch, perfect softness, slightly some flavor. The dips were okay. I was expecting more flavor, but that's the fun part of being able to try a variety, some you are gonna like more than others. I think we were given more than enough pieces of pita and that was nice since we can all agree sometimes the dip to chip/bread ratio does not really match at most places. The middle salad was fresh. There was some olives (which I generally do not like) but they were not as salty as olives generally are, and it was a good appetizer of choice to get some freshness, some slight protein (from certain dips being made out of beans) and it was a great introduction to our main meals. This if my first time going to this restaurant, hopefully other things on the menu will also meet my standards of good, but for the first experience and the selection of what I chose on the menu, in the least, I say try the steak and egg plate and DEF the pumpkin pancakes (ESPECIALLY if your a fan of pumpkin like myself). I'm not someone that cares for ambiance much, but it was nice in there. Typical amount of people in there for brunch, but did not feel overcrowded or loud although the space (that I was sitting in) felt slightly small. The service was nice, but I did feel it was a bit overbearing. I don't like to be asked how I'm doing every 10 mins, but maybe some people do. Also, waited for a while trying to get the check from our waiter. Saying this for the people who care about these things, me not so much.
