    We've known about this place for a few months now but finally decided to give it a try today... and as much as I try not to give anyone or any restaurant a low score, I can't give this place anything higher than a 3. Service was great, they use a button system that lets staff know if we need assistance and the staff was very attentive. So there's no fault there. The food was okay; it wasn't bad but also not extraordinarily good either. This place could've been a decent KBBQ on the westbank, but the price to quantity drops the score. $32 for about 6-8 pieces of Galbi & Tofu Soup, really steep IMO.

    ROACHES ON/UNDER TABLE (see pic attached) - - after having lunch and paying our bill, we see roaches! One going up the table another underneath. Meat was decent, the sides tasted off & old just not fresh at all. The corn cheese had a weird metallic taste, maybe from container they give it to you in for cooking. The best thing we tasted was the steamed egg, but after seeing the roaches - I wish we had not eaten there! our servers were good however. It is definitely not worth the 230$ bill for a family of 5. They also add automatic gratuities and an insane service fee that we were unaware of (see pic of receipt) - AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!

    A Korean gem next to Hong Kong Market! We went for lunch on the weekend and got seated right away. The dining area is so nice! The service was very attentive and friendly. We ordered a variety of dishes. Tteokbokki, japchae, bulgogi, and a side of mandu. All hit the spot. I even grabbed some kimbap to take home for dinner. Sooooo good! Even the banchan stood out to me. The cucumbers were my favorite. Our server was so kind to bring me extra. The kimchi tasted homemade. You can even buy some to take home! Korean food is not common in New Orleans so it's always exciting to see a new place open up. Definitely give this place a chance! :)

    The service was great. The kid was super swamped and still did the thang. But the food was so mid. I had high hopes since there are so few Korean places in town. The galbitang meat wasn't tender and the soup didn't have a complex flavor profile. The wings were really good though. The bulgogi was fine but it wasn't solid.

    I am so excited that the Westbank has a Korean restaurant! Korean food is the one food that is lacking in the New Orleans area. I stopped in today for lunch and I'll be the first to admit I really know nothing about Korean food. However, everything on the menu sounded great and, thanks to good old Google, I was able to easily figure out what I wanted. To start, the waitress brought out a sampler of a few items just to get us started. For an appetizer, we got the Kimchijun, which is a Kimchi-flavored pancake dish. We also got Kimchi Jigjae, which is kimchi soup, and Bibimbap which is meat, egg, rice, and a few other things served in a hotpot. It was all fantastic! Like I said, I am very green when it comes to Korean food, but the food here was excellent and packed with flavor. The restaurant is still in "soft opening" mode, and plan to visit again to try a few more items.

    Ate at this restaurant a couple of times now in the last month. First time just a few of us trying it out since it had just opened, the second time with a large group because food really is good! So happy there is finally a decent Korean food place in town!! Dishes we tried so far: Kimchi hotpot - I love spicy food and the flavor is on point! They bring the pot out with all the food items already cooked (for the most part) and heat it on a gas stove on the table. Tofu, glass noodles, meat bites, rice cakes, veggies, soup... very delicious! Beef bone hotpot - flavor is also very good, if you don't like spicy, this is a great alternative! Comes with similar items in the pot, tofu, glass noodles, rice cakes, veggies and very generous portion of beed bones with meat on the bones and tendon pieces! Seafood pancake - also very legit with big and lots of green onions, crispy texture on the outside and soft once you bite into it! Banchan - the selection of small side dishes is just okay, the flavor of them is also just okay, I've had much better (not in NOLa area though). Japchae - simple and good flavor! Galbi and bulgogi - you don't cook them yourself on the table (so no worries about smelling like smoke after the meal!), they are brought out on sizzling pan, flavor is good! Wait staff is very friendly and the overall experience had been great the both times. I do think that their prices are high, especially compared to what I'm used to in SoCal, but I guess when there aren't many (if any) competitions, you can have a higher price point. I will definitely return to try other dishes like soon du bu, jigae and bibimbap. It is located inside the Hong Kong Supermarket entrance, there are no signs on the outside!

    My family and I dined here on the 2nd day of their grand opening. We ordered the Tteok-bokki (Korean spicy rice cake), Beef Rib & Bone Hot Pot, and Grilled Atka Mackerel. The service was nice, but the entire restaurant was very unprepared. For starters, they didn't even have bowls for us to eat our hot pot with. So they just told us we had to use the tiny plates from our side dishes, which is very unprofessional as the plates are not meant for a hot pot dish (broth and meat couldn't even fit on the small plate). Also, the mackerel was too salty to eat. Another thing is that they did not even serve us rice, a common side dish every Asian restaurant should at least have. The actual hot pot was decent, but overpriced for the quality. For the side dishes, they were not enough to feed 3 people (the amount of people for our table). The Tteok-bokki was okay, but we were already upset about the unavailability of bowls. They weren't even packed when we arrived. As a restaurant establishment, they should've been prepared with equipment (especially on the most important week for the business). They're literally next to a supermarket (Hong Kong Food Market), so they could've just instantly bought bowls over there if they didn't have them. The total came to be almost $100, but we felt like our meal should've been cheaper considering everything we had to deal with. I truly hope this restaurant changes for the better soon, but overall my family and I didn't have a great experience with K Town.

    Tofu soup, and La Galbi

    The restaurant is highly recommended, they have so many traditional Korean dishes and service is best here in all New Orleans! We love to go here, the environment is clean as well.

French bread they used was like a pillow and dressings were fresh. The gentleman who took my order was nice for front of house service as you just order at the counter and assumabky they package things to go. This worked for me since I was grabbing and going lol. My only take away that was negative in a sense is a preference. They do put a red sauce on the catfish poboy that I can't determine what it was as it didn't taste like hot sauce but like a version of it that was more cumin based and did overpower the fish a bit. I still tore it up though and the fish is worth it. Total price for the poboy plus a bottle drink was $15

Well, if you're going to push a culture's food, you have to go all in with learning the local ways of preparation. In gist, I have to knock off 1 star for the limited sizes for poboys. Offering out only the 12 inch or the meat on bun just seems wrong, ESPECIALLY if you will charge over $10 for any poboy. It's a poor boy after all! It's New Orleans and it was known for big portions for a cheap price. Granted, that was the way before Hurricane Katrina. You lose another star for not living up to a "fully dressed" poboy. A fully dressed poboy should never feel dry. Also, I asked for Crystals hot sauce on my poboy and you forgot it. That's a culinary sin my good people. Overall, these New Orleans implants did a good job on customer service in regards of greeting and giving you an approximate wait time. Outside of that, they need to write down what customers are asking for that isn't programmed into your computer. The menu offerings are decent, and pricing is set a little too high for my liking. You may feel different. Try them out and let me know what you think. Just letting you know that for me, the poboy was too dry, and the shrimp could have been seasoned a tad bit more.

We stumbled upon J&J on Yelp while visiting from out of town for a volleyball tournament. The reviews were great, and the fact that it's a standalone, independent restaurant -- not a chain -- made it even more appealing. We were so eager that we pulled up before they even opened and waited in the parking lot. No shame. Here's where we went wrong: we hadn't done our homework. J&J is takeout only -- no dine-in. Since we were heading out of town that same day with no hotel room to return to, sitting down to eat simply wasn't an option for us. We had to make the tough call to find somewhere else. But here's what made all the difference -- the gentlemen who opened that morning were absolutely wonderful. Despite our situation, they welcomed us in without hesitation, made sure we had a place to sit while we figured out our next move, and never once made us feel rushed or like an inconvenience. When we explained we'd have to leave, they were completely gracious and understanding about it. Warm, genuine, and patient -- like a family member who's just happy you stopped by, even without calling first. I left without eating a single thing, and I'm still thinking about this place. J&J Seafood, you have a customer for my next Louisiana visit -- and that's a promise.

No line, and I could smell the boil from the Main Street! Now, it's still early in the season so it was $8.99/lb but still worth it. Crawfish was juicy, flavorful, with tolerable spice! Listen, this is NOT a dine-in type of place, so get yours and find you somewhere else to congregate lol I love that it's a smaller, family owned business because the customer service is a 10, ALWAYS.
