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.

Kimchi

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

Chicken  tenders

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

When you walk in, the aesthetic feels a little unfinished, almost like they're still moving in, but do not let that influence your expectations. The food does all the talking. I ordered the boneless jerk chicken platter, the chicken curry roti, and grabbed a beef patty from the display. I started with the beef patty flaky, warm, perfectly structured, and stuffed with incredibly seasoned meat. It practically melted in my mouth. Easily one of the freshest, most flavorful patties I've ever had. The boneless jerk chicken meal was outstanding. The chicken was moist with a subtle smoky flavor and a perfect kick from the jerk sauce. Paired with plantains and rice, it all came together beautifully. The chicken curry roti was just as impressive. The aroma alone hits you the second you open the wrapper. The curry was rich, flavorful, and the bone-in chicken inside was so tender it fell right off the bone. And the staff there was outstanding the woman that helped me was very nice. Very respectful all around amazing. Portions are generous, flavors are authentic, and everything tastes freshly made. I highly, highly recommend this spot to anyone craving phenomenal Jamaican food. This place is the real deal.

I'm a big guy but I'm pretty conservative about where I spend my money and I just felt like I could have had more. Do I think the flavors were good, absolutely. But for the community, it's rough. I want everyone to eat good food but only if it's affordable. It's not just this one but others too. Service was good. And the interior it felt rustic and diner like, which I actually like. Only reason why I'm knocking it is price to portion ratio for the lunch special. But flavors, service is good in my book

The service was awesome - our server was friendly, attentive, and helped us make a few decisions in what we wanted to order. They had a special that night for a $10 burger and fries, so we ordered that, jerk chicken mac & cheese, and plantains. As an appetizer we ordered coconut shrimp. Everything was great, but I think the coconut shrimp and jerk chicken mac were the stars of the show. The plantains were cooked perfectly, I just probably could've done without the sweet glaze. The burger and fries were great, and best of all a great deal. It seems they have different deals on other days of the week too. We also ordered drinks. They have a few Caribbean classics like rum punch and pina coladas. I got the rum punch which was super strong and delicious. I will definitely return in the near future to try their classic jerk chicken dish :)

The vibe is exactly what you want good music, great atmosphere, drinks flowing from the jump. We started with the Tamarind Ball and honestly, that alone was worth the trip. The new menu? A whole moment. The Salmon Pie empanadas were addictive, the Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls had the perfect kick, the Stuffed Crab Cake was rich and satisfying, and the Sticky Spicy Sesame Wings don't sleep on those. Every single bite hit. They picked up right where they left off and somehow made it even better. If you've been waiting to go back, this is your sign. Some things are worth the wait.

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?
