    I don't know why folks have reviewed this place so low. I've been coming here for 9 years straight. It's funny I've never reviewed them before but no more delay! They deserve a shout out! Food: is finger licking good and very very flavorful! They have a range of dishes to cater to both vegetarian and non vegetarian palates! Good spice range as per your tolerance! We love their drumsticks and wings, loaded fries and tacos and everything on the menu really! Over the decade, we've managed to have almost everything off of their menu and not once have been disappointed! That's got to mean something and that's why we keep coming back! :) Service: We were yet again served by gracious Connor. Service is great! No complaints at all. Always patience with kids at the table, ready to answer questions on menu especially on newly introduced items! Thank you! Sarah was great too - was happy to correct the spice on one of our dishes that kids had ordered. Thank you! Ambience: sports bar kinda vibes & chatty and good floor plan! Restroom:clean and kept well always! Parking: big lot so never been an issue! Very very open and available any time of the day! All in all, highly recommend! Will always come back and still have the same good things to say about them! Consistency is such a gem of a thing to find among restaurants and they are one of the few ones! :) So thank you!

    10/10 food & 10/10 service i had a great experience the food was amazing! loved the Seol Sampler and rice cake sausage skewer. This location was open and spacious.

    Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place if you are looking for delicious juicy fried chicken. Perhaps it was because I got this food delivered but my chicken was very dry and overcooked. The Soy Garlic and the Spicy Chicken both tasted pretty similar. Next time, I hope it will be better. The fried rice was delicious! The Kimchi was flavorful! And a PSA to anyone ordering, the chicken drumsticks are much meatier than the wings here! Soy Garlic Chicken: 6/10 Spicy Chicken Wings: 5/10 Kimchi: 8/10 Fried Rice: 9/10

    Newly discovered Korean fried chicken place .. it was amazinggggg!!!! I had chicken wings for two back to back days from here.. I tried three flavors and all were great. The second day I ended up ordering some drums too which were a hit with my kid.. we got the soy garlic, the Korean BBQ and Yangnyeom. There is a subtle difference between all three of them so I honestly didn't know which was which while eating them but can honestly say that ALL of them tasted incredible. The lady who prepped my order was incredibly sweet and really helped me get my order ready. She even helped me get the right sauce as well as clean it up when it got messy. I know I am gonna be ordering from here soon over and over again!

    I ordered a 20 pc strips .... Wtf is this trash
    Melissa A.

    Extremely upset. I ordered 20 pcs strip and other items and they gave me this trash. I don't live near by so yea thanks. I'd like a refund . Update - they assumed I ate this to get my money back and I unfortunately did not. But thank you for this disrespectful comment and no help. Keep your free 10 chicken fingers and I'll never spend another dollar here.

    Italian breadcrumbs on fried zucchini

    A few more visits since my last update, so adding new information for you. I noticed they got new menus during the summer. On one visit, in addition to our regular orders, we tried their japchae. Another time, we ordered the fried zucchini. Granted, they were nice big pieces of zucchini, but they seemed like they were better suited for an Italian restaurant. The seasoning was typical Italian breadcrumbs. I guess as long as you know that's what you're getting, they are fine. Garlic soy wings, rice, & fries continue to be our go to favorites.

    Does this place have lunch specials?

    Hello! Currently we only have our all day menu. We do plan on adding lunch specials in the near future!

    What kind of oil (peanut, vegetable, canola, etc) do they use to fry the chicken?

    Hi kris! For all of our fried items we use soybean oil!

    How does seating arrangements work here? Because all we've ever wanted is a booth but no matter the amount of people we come in and the business of the place.. lol we never get booth.

    The booths are definitely the best. Can't definitely say for sure, but most restaurants are divided into sections and each server is responsible for his/her section (which could include tables & booths). My guess is it's just luck of the draw how…

I came with a couple of friends around 6PM on a Friday and barely made it before the dinner rush. As soon as we sat down, a large crowd started lining up to put their names on the waitlist. It's a small, casual restaurant with limited seating, but they turn tables over quickly. They've added tablets at each table where you can browse photos of the menu and place your order. They also leave a bottle of water at the table, so service is pretty minimal. The banchan arrived almost immediately after we ordered, followed shortly by our meals. The banchan is always fresh and flavorful, with each dish seasoned differently so every bite has a unique taste. We all ordered the beef tofu soup but customized it to our liking. I went with medium spice and added mandu (dumplings). The portion was huge and came with rice on the side. The medium spice actually had a good kick, unlike at some places where it's too mild. It was packed with tofu and tender beef, and I had enough leftovers for another meal. It was my first time adding mandu, which tasted good but out of place. I'll probably pass on that next time. This is my go-to spot to catch up with friends, and we always leave happy. If you're planning to come for dinner, get here early or be prepared to wait.

It's a good size restaurants with wooden tables and chairs and long bench along the wall. Order is by tablet at the table and multiple orders can be put thru at different times. This was convenient when some at the table needed more time to order while some were ready to eat. Banchan items came out as soon as food order was put in. I ordered the ramen tofu soup medium spicy, galbi, and the table ordered pork soft tofu soup and spicy pork bulgogi. Everything was good and spicy items were actually spicy. Plenty of rice too if your family need rice. The dishes were all very good and comforting. Lines and waiting times got long so get here near opening for dinner if you don't want to wait.

For the cold noodles, it was pretty refreshing and a bit light in flavor. It came in a icy vinegary broth with noodles, half a boiled egg, pickled daikon and some pieces of galbi (short rib). Also had option of adding more vinegar and/or mustard if you wanted. The noodles were chewy but that's how it is, recommend asking for some scissors to cut the noodles if it's hard to chew. For the spicy buckwheat cold noodles, it had much more flavor, had a gochujang base, and thicker. It came with half a boiled egg, pickled daikon and pieces of galbi.

We ordered the beef soup and the appetizer short ribs, which is about 6 pieces. The sides were good, special shout out to the warm jjapchae! The short ribs came out sizzling, and had a great char with a sweet soy sauce flavor. Meat was tender and had the perfect chew to it, such a comfort meal with the rice. The beef soup came boiling, and there was a generous amount of beef, mushrooms, and tofu. The only complaint I have is the soup ratio was less than what I'm used to so about halfway through the pot there wasn't much soup left to pour onto the rice the way I normally do. But that's not a bad thing, means you're getting more protein! Service was great, but it's a bit expensive from what I'm used to so I docked a star. I'll check out other places and see if this is just the normal pricing for the area.

He was timing how fast our table finished each round of meats and often refilled our banchan without us having to say anything! Overall, a lovely experience! All meats were good but my favorite was the beef finger ribs. One gripe I did have though was how they laid their barbecue plates lined with corn and cheese in the corner near the entrance/exit to the elevator... not sure how sanitary that is and it was unsettling to see after we finished our meal. Given the news about pest and vermin in Valley Fair, I think it's probably best not to lay the plates out like that without refrigeration and on the ground too.

Again, this update is after multiple meals with different people. SJ Omogari continues to be a go to favorite, especially if you want Meat Jun. I've tried it at other restaurants, and none come close to the flavorful, tender version from SJ Omogari. My friend and I had lunch at SJ Omogari yesterday. The tables seemed very close together. It's good for the restaurant to get more people, but it felt a little closed in for my personal space preferences. This was my friend's first visit, and she loved it! I ordered Meat Jun (duh), and we shared a dumpling tofu soup. I was feeling bold, so we asked for medium spicy. I was sweating, but it was very flavorful and I kept eating as the sweat dripped down my head. My friend ordered the chicken bibimbap, which SJ Omogari calls, "Chicken Ricebowl." That stone bowl was SUPER HOT! It was sizzling when served, and we could still see steam as she packed up her leftovers! My friend loved the crispy rice on the bottom. SJ Omogari is on the pricy side, but still worth it. Go!

I have many fond memories of dining here. The food is still excellent. We ordered the tofu and chicken bubbling soup along with the bibimbap, and everything was delicious. The quality of the food is definitely a reason I would return. Unfortunately, the service was very inconsistent. There were two servers during our visit. One was incredibly kind, professional, attentive, and welcoming. She checked on us, offered more side dishes, and was very sweet with my six-year-old son. I even thanked her personally at the end of the meal because her hospitality stood out. The other server, however, made the experience uncomfortable. From the moment we arrived, there was no warm greeting -- we were simply asked how many were in our party. We were seated at a very small table, and when I politely asked if we could move to a larger one since we were ordering multiple dishes with sides and I had my young son with me, she looked visibly annoyed. Throughout the meal, she kept making faces when I asked normal questions about the menu or requested an extra to-go box. These were simple customer requests, and her reactions felt rude and unnecessary. I also noticed that several other reviews mention a woman making faces during service, and based on my experience, I believe this may be the same server. That kind of behavior really affects the dining experience and should be addressed by management. Hospitality matters, especially in a restaurant setting. Good food is important, but customers should also feel welcome and respected. Overall, I would come back because the food was delicious, and the other server was genuinely lovely. However, I hope the owner takes the service concerns seriously. If I return, I would likely ask to be seated with the kind server who made us feel welcome.
