    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

    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

    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.

    Disappointing experience. The food was overly salty and lacked flavor. Considering the price, it's definitely not worth it.

    Woke up at 5:55 AM PST in order to make this reservation... but overall glad I was able to. The…read morepull apart truffle monkey bread was our initial reason for coming, and although the price point was quite steep, I would say it's worth the try. The bread was fluffy and not dry, which I had seen previous reviews say before. Paired with the creamy truffle butter, it had a luxurious mouthfeel. My favorite was the pork chop (cognac, sweet prunes, bacon, rosemary) -- the sweet and soft texture of the prune was melted in my mouth like fat, and the pork was tender, with the rosemary also coming through. The vodka rigatoni was a skip, somewhat bland and one-note, we ended up putting some of the truffle butter and garlic aioli from the fries to make it more flavorful. This was especially in contrast with the spicy shrimp pasta which was much tastier. Also got the strawberry vacherin (strawberry ice cream, meringue, vanilla whipped cream), it was my first time having this dessert. The tartness of the strawberry was great with the fluffy meringue and the sweet ice cream. Service was extremely attentive, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated with moody lighting. Although the space was packed, it didn't feel too loud or crowded. We spent about two hours and didn't feel rushed.

I went on a Thursday night, and the place was absolutely packed. The front feels more like a bar/casual area, while the dining room is tucked toward the back. My reservation was at 10:15 PM, so I actually had a light dinner beforehand and ordered a little lighter than I normally would. I got: - Truffle Monkey Bread ($34.99) - Prime Rib French Dip ($39.99) - Pommes Frites ($13.99) - Banana Split Sundae ($24.99) I thought the prices were definitely on the higher end when I first sat down, but the Truffle Monkey Bread is divine! Honestly, it's probably in my top 3 bread experiences of my life. If you love truffle, butter, cheese, and basically everything good in life, please get this. It comes out slightly warm and is just incredible. I will probably dream about this bread. The French Dip was good, although it was a little too salty for me. If I get the chance to come back, I'd probably try one of their actual steaks instead. The pommes frites were super crispy, basically McDonald's fries but elevated. The Banana Split Sundae was so pretty. I loved how they placed all the little treats around the crevices/imprints of the dish (not sure how else to describe it ). It's huge, though, so definitely don't expect to finish it yourself. I'd recommend sharing it with 3+ people. I was also celebrating an anniversary, and they brought out a strawberry scoop for us. It tasted homemade and really fresh. I could actually see pieces of strawberry in it, which I loved. The restaurant is definitely on the pricier side, and getting a dinner reservation can be a struggle, but I'd absolutely go again if I got the chance. The decor is cozy and upscale, the food was excellent, and the whole place has a really nice atmosphere. My only real complaint was that our waitress kept pushing us to order more, which got a little annoying, especially since we had already ordered quite a bit. Overall: expensive + difficult reservation, but absolutely worth trying. And please get the truffle monkey bread.

The menu is large so there is something for everyone. Various eggs, smoothies, pancakes, salads, sandwiches, bowls and wraps to choose from. We ordered the falafel crunch wrap and chicken pesto sandwich. The wrap was stuffed with fresh veggies. The chicken sandwich was cooked well and quite filling. Both were very tasty and made with fresh ingredients. Great option for a healthy and quick meal!

    stopped by on a weekday morning for a quick bakery treat. i decided to try the chocolate croissant…read more& there was only one left in the case. the croissant had a wonderful flaky, crispy texture that paired really well with the warm dark chocolate inside. compared to other chocolate croissants i've had, this one probably had a little less chocolate filling, but the taste was still great. the contrast between the flaky layers and the soft, warm center was superb. the staff was kind, and it took about 10 minutes to get my croissant warmed up. i would say it may take a little more time than expected to get your food, especially if you're in a rush like i was. otherwise, the space is really nice. they don't have many prepared grab-and-go items, but they do have a good selection of baked goods and the option to sit down and eat. i also noticed later that they had some lunch meals available to go, which is something i'd definitely look into trying next time.

Decor/actual restaurant: This particular location is very small and tight with limited in-store seating. The interior is cute, I like the blue color theme they have here. For a restaurant designed for to-go orders, I believe that there could be more waiting room and a couple less chairs. Service: Like many "fast food adjacent" restaurants, the people who work there have good customer service but I imagine deal with the worst. I know they're doing great with the situation they're in. Kudos to them. Food: this is probably my harshest critique. I ordered a pesto chicken sandwich, and it was fine. I don't believe it was worth the $16 I spent though. The chicken was kind of bland, tasted similarly to frozen grilled chicken pieces you buy from a grocery store. I do wish there was more sauce. The pesto tasted good but overall there was too much bread. I fear you would be better off making something like this at home for a comparable price. The bread was good, just too much. I don't want to base the menu on this sandwich alone, a lot of the menu options sounded delicious, but this was just the experience I had!
