I like coming here to buy freshly prepared side dishes (banchan). They have a set of staple side…read moredishes that are always available such as soy-marinated eggs, soybean sprout (kongnamul), potato salad, along with rotating seasonal options. They also offer main dishes that serves 1-2 people that change daily. When I visited, they had galbi jjim, which was absolutely delicious. As the name suggests, they do catering but you should give at least 5-7 days' notice especially during the holidays. I tried to place a catering order during Thanksgiving week and wasn't able to because they were already fully booked. If they were closer, I'd come here at least twice a week to replenish my banchan fix. Nonetheless, I always go out of my way to return!

Don't be fooled by the outer appearance of this catering house. At Joeun, we chose three items from…read morethem for catering: JAPCHAE (glass noodles with assorted vegetables), TEMPURA SHRIMP, and GANGJUNG CHICKEN (sweet and sour fried chicken). They did a PHENOMENAL job getting the order ready precisely on time. The food was a huge SUCCESS! Our guests especially loved the Japchae, with several people asking where it was from. I mentioned that this place specializes in catering, so individual orders might not be possible. The Tempura Shrimp was also a BIG HIT and was the FIRST ITEM TO DISAPPEAR from the buffet platters. Finally, the Gangjung Chicken was DELICIOUS, boasting a perfectly crispy texture and a wonderfully balanced, savory flavor. At the end of the party, I was thrilled to have leftovers to enjoy the following day.

Our coordinator Majalla was a sweetheart. Unfortunately the day before the event they called to say they had forgotten to add tablecloths to the contract and we were responsible for paying an additional $700 if we wanted to have our event the next day. I requested to not use the table cloths as we were already over budget for the event. I was told that was not an option as they had already taken delivery of them. Then I was told they would comp our drink station to try to meet us part way. Then I get an email from the Angie the director who changed the contract and lied about the drink cost trying to make it seem like she reduced the price, when the price had already been reduced in the original contract. The food was subpar, many complaints from our staff about the quality of the food. It's extremely shady business ethics they have and I would warn anyone from doing business with them! If you are already scheduled, save original copies of the contract as they will try and bait/switch you, then lie about it. Very disappointed overall.

At one point, we even had to cancel because we were dealing with internet issues at the venue, and she was so understanding. Once we confirmed the event was back on, I reached back out and she made everything seamless. The food was AMAZING. Literally everyone came up to me during the event to say how good it was. People were going back for seconds and asking where the food was from. One of my favorite parts of the experience was getting to give Filipino food space in a corporate setting and seeing how well received it was. Hallelumpia absolutely delivered.
