We ordered the mixed doenjang jjigae (soybean paste soup) and grilled mackerel. The doenjang jjigae was decent, nothing special and reminds of me home-style cooking. The grilled mackerel was actually pretty good...perfectly grilled with a crispy exterior. I wouldn't mind coming back here for their grilled fish items, especially because it's hard to grill fish at home like that. The owners also seem like really nice people, and the service was great! Jang An is a no frills, comfortable, hole in the wall type of place. It ain't fancy, but it's perfect for a quick, home-style Korean meal.

He bounced around to each table ensuring every guest had a perfectly cooked piece of meat ready to be devoured. Hard to imagine trying any other k-town spots the next time I'm craving pork.

Grilling thick slices of pork belly with aged kimchi on a hot iron lid was absolutely amazing. We also tried their yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) for the first time, and it was just as impressive. The only downside was the kimchi stew at the end--it was a bit more like soup than a proper stew. Still, overall it's a great spot with excellent value for money. Definitely worth a visit!

One-Star Review I've now given this place three separate…read morechances, and unfortunately, each visit has been disappointing. The customer service has consistently been rude and difficult to deal with. Communication has also been challenging, which makes it especially frustrating when trying to ask basic questions about the menu and specials. The bigger issue, however, is the accuracy and quality of what is being advertised versus what is actually served. Several menu items appear to use AI-generated images, and while the use of AI itself isn't the problem, the food being served should reasonably match what is being advertised. If a special says it includes wings, fries, and a salad for a specific price, that is what customers should receive. This has apparently been an ongoing issue for over a month, despite customers continuing to ask about it. On one visit, I ordered chicken and waited approximately 20 minutes, only for it to arrive extremely cold in the middle and still bloody. It was honestly disgusting and completely unacceptable. I gave the place another chance a few days later and tried one of the hand rolls. That was merely okay. I was told they only make three per day, which was strange, but ultimately not the biggest issue. Even the breakfast experience was underwhelming. I ordered the $8 breakfast deal with drip coffee, and I wasn't offered milk or sugar. After three visits, I can confidently say I've given this establishment more than enough opportunities. The combination of poor customer service, misleading food presentation, inconsistent execution, and food-safety concerns has completely turned me off from returning. I wouldn't recommend this place, and I don't see myself coming back.

If you like eel/hag fish, you've got to order this! It comes with a side of sesame leaves you can wrap it in and a bed of onions underneath the delicious fish. I usually wrap it with the sesame leaves and a jalapeno with soybean paste. BAM so good!! We also ordered the octopus stir fried with side of noodles, one of my favorite dishes. Nakji-boggeum!!

Since my Mom hasn't been feeling well lately, we decided to come here together. I'm honestly not a big fan of black goat stew, but I went along since My Mom wanted to go with me. The stew here was actually pretty good--the broth in particular was very rich and flavorful, more than the meat in my opinion. And after finishing the stew, they made fried rice with the leftover broth, which was really delicious. I loved Fried rice. As for the service, the two ladies working there were kind, but very slow. We asked for more water, and it took over 10 minutes with no response. When we asked again, they just said they were still boiling the barley tea. I don't understand why it was so hard to simply say that the first time. In the end, I had to walk over to the kitchen myself to refill my cup. Friendly, yes--but extremely slow service.

Located in a strip mall in K-town, Umma Kitchen is a bright beacon. Upon entering, I was welcomed by a very kind and nice lady. She started by recommending different dishes and explaining various options. Frozen soups, ready to heat dishes, kim chee, banchan, and everything you would need for a wonderful home style meal. It was hard to decide what to get because everything looked so good! I wanted to get so much more but my tiny refrigerator and freezer couldn't fit everything. I ended up getting fresh kimchi, dried radish fried seasoned tofu, chwinamul, radish kimchi, seaweed soup, kimchi stew, and soybean paste soup. So far, I've only had the banchan and fried tofu. All so good! I've purchased various Korean banchan, kimchi, and prepared food at local Korean grocery stores. They are ok but not nearly as good as Umma Kitchen. The store is clean, well organized, and offers so many options. Prices are so reasonable. I'm hooked and excited to make my way though all the soups!
