We went to Sharon Korean Kitchen on a Saturday for lunch and ordered the veggie japchae, the…read moreBulgogi chicken, and the kimchi fried rice. Everything arrived in under 10 minutes. The portions were good, and every dish was tasty. The chicken bulgogi had a very flavorful sauce. The noodles in the japchae were chewy, and the texture was great. The kimchi fried rice had a tart, tangy taste. We had plenty left over to bring home. My one suggestion to the staff would be to offer protein substitutions ie a lot of the dishes have pork and you can take it out but there is option to simply substitute the pork for say tofu or egg or even chicken. The ambience of the restaurant is also very airy and sunny and bright. And they have plenty of seating. Would highly recommend!

I do wish that they didn't use mostly onions for their japchae noodle dish.

I've been here for their bibimbap rice dishes so I'll stick to those and explore other menu items.

While the location is open until 11 it is take out after 9:45 so prep accordingly! Take out presentation with box and bag is on point though and all the utensils are available for your needs as well. Great bar and general seating area if frequenting earlier in the day in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. Service was quick and very friendly for a first time visitor, even had a chance to chat with the owner for a bit which is a nice touch interacting with customers that frequent the establishment. I know, I know, enough chit chat how about the food Dave? Took the awesome recommendation from the team and went with an 8 piece tender meal as it gives two options of flavors with half/half option. So I grabbed fire and Gangnam spice and both were able to curb my late night spice craving. Waffle fries round out the combo with a can of soda (Coke products) to wash it down with. Meal was full of flavor and tasty indeed! Look forward to trying that fried rice and some wings next go around. Being in the road, tenders were the easiest option for the take out plan!

Came to this place for the tapas but I was surprised to see there speciality's which were on the pricier side for more than $30 a dish. The waiters were nice and attentive and the menu is a QR scan code. We got a few tapas to share including the fried spam which had a great presentation in a the spam can. We got the fried rice cake which was better than I expected. It came with 3 on a stick and with 2 dipping which we mixed. They also had special tapas are more dinner sized for around more then $20 each dish. We got the Army Stew and it came with a variety of different sausages, spam and ramen. The dish seemed small when it first came out but was well sized for a meal. Would definitely want to come back for a drink but overall a great place for a late night bite. The vibes are great and we just spent time talking. It has a clean bathroom with Aesop soap, it is a little small but it felt really nice.

We arrived at our reservation time and were seated promptly. They had 4 set menus to choose from or an à la carte option that does not include their signature samgyetang. We got the lowest priced set menu, which included all their banchan plus the choice of sweet shrimp or scallop, and we didn't feel we were missing out on anything. Higher priced tiers included additional items such as galbi or crab, but our meal was plenty filling and tasty without them. All the food we were served was delicious. The 9 banchan dishes we got included a variety of kimchi, seaweed, and vegetables and were a decent portion size to share a set between two people. After we finished most of our banchan, the samgyetang was brought out and put on portable heaters on our table, where the servers broke the chicken down right in front of us. The chicken was so tender and delicious, and the broth was flavorful and hearty, but not heavy. We were given one chicken to share for every 2 people, and the portion size made for a very filling dinner. Although pricey, this was the perfect place to go for our special occasion. The servers were friendly and attentive, and the decor was simple and clean. I would definitely come back again!

We are told that the restaurant owner, Chef Hajime Yamazaki, uses his mother's recipes and the restaurant signature is their samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) which is offered with each set. Each set comes with nine house-made banchan (side dishes). I feel that this restaurant makes a great experience for two. I came as a family of four, two children, and it was just enough food. The sides dishes that accompanied the main was very tasty. I especially enjoyed the zucchini. The scallop was delicious. My husband especially enjoyed the chapjae noodles, claiming it was the best he has ever had. I think its appeal was simple clean ingredients. The jokbal, boiled belly, was very clean tasting as well. I was a bit disappointed with this one item and wished I went with the alternative option on the menu. As for the main chicken ginseng soup, our waiter, served this dish to us while telling us the concept of the restaurant, about the owner and his journey and mother's recipe. The story, about 5 minutes long was enjoyable while she took apart and served us the soup. I wished she didn't shred the entire chicken the way she did, literally to shreds. I would have liked to pull apart the chicken myself and served my kids. I understand many Korean restaurants have the server serve by the table but for this dish, I would have liked to serve my family myself. The taste was very clean. I do wish it had a bit more white pepper flavor. Customer service was outstanding. I would recommend going as a couple or group of four at most. Reservations are recommended. There is street parking. During my visit, walk-ins were being accepted since the restaurant was not completely booked. The server had to explain to walk-in patrons that the restaurant is strict on their set menus and that it was dine in service only.

The egg soufflé, tteokbokki, and side dishes were enjoyable, but they weren't enough to make the meal feel worth it. For what this place charges, I expected much more.
