    So this time we went to just the restaurant and no sauna entry. You have to go from the back of Sauna Q and they make you take off your shoes and wear slippers lol The door looks sketch (see pic) but lo and behold when we opened the door all the tables were PACKED in this little tucked away, unassuming cafe. We literally got seated at the last table available. We ordered the ginseng chicken soup and homemade dumplings (pork). I the chicken soup was outstanding. So refreshing, healthy and I loved the sticky rice in it. Would wish that they add a little more sticky rice. Flavor was on point and didn't even need to add the additional salt that they give you on the side. Homemade dumplings were good but they broke on us and just basically fell apart when we were trying to dip it in the sauce. But it was still very tasty. I probably wouldn't order it again but might buy the bulk frozen dumplings which is $30. I can't remember how many pieces they give you. The true star of the show is the ban Chan. Literally this little tiny unassuming cafe had the best banchan! It's run by a Korean family where the server and hostess is the daughter and her mom is the owner and cook! Everything tastes homemade and literally like grandma's cooking. I especially love the zucchini banchan but everything is amazing. So here's the deal with refills: first refill is free. Then it's $7. But actually the $7 is worth it and we did pay for extra ban chan - it equates to $1/dish. And it's soooo worth it. It's literally the best ban Chan ever. And it was so good that we literally ordered the banchan to go which they so kindly did for us. Anyways, 5 stars all around. I've dined in a lot of Korean restaurants and this one seriously by far the best. SO UNASSUMING! You know it's legit when the bus girl and cook hardly speak English. And also the fact that groups of Korean ppl come in through the back door (for the restaurant, not for sauna) and come just to dine here. It's a hidden gem!!! Also their hot barley tea is not gluten free but it's amazinggggggggg. Would come here again and again to try other stuff!!!

    I treated myself to a relaxing birthday at the Korean spa, and after my treatment, I stopped by their cozy in-house Korean Q café--and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the spicy seafood ramen, and it absolutely hit the spot. The broth was rich, spicy, and comforting with just the right level of heat. Generous portions of shrimp, squid, and mussels were nestled among perfectly chewy noodles. It felt nourishing and soul-warming, especially after time in the spa. For my drink, I had a cup of barley-infused hot water, which was calming and earthy--such a nice traditional touch that paired beautifully with the meal. The café itself had a peaceful vibe, in line with the serene atmosphere of the spa. Whether you're just finishing a treatment or looking for a comforting Korean dish, this hidden gem inside the spa is worth a visit. A simple but memorable way to end a birthday of self-care and relaxation.

    After a lovely few hours relaxing in Q sauna I was beginning to feel a bit hungry. I decided to take a break and cool down with some food. I was very quickly seated at a table when I entered and handed a menu, and the waitress quickly filled up a mug with tea for me. I looked through the menu, and decided to order the bulgogi and the cinnamon ginger punch. I was immediately given the punch and it was delicious! It was sweet, strong in cinnamon flavor, and really refreshing and cooling. About 10 min later I was served the bulgogi with rice, and 8 sides. Everything tasted great! I ordered the small size which was a good size for me. Definitely a good place to refresh while visiting Q sauna!

    Q Cafe has never disspointed me :) Food always good. Service is amazing. The owner always nice & friendly to me. I love the location that can be access from the Q Spa & outside. Here more picture today!

    You want the best you have to look for the best. I literally found this place about 6 or 7 years ago. Ever since then, I'm a huge fan!!! Its behind the Q Spa Sauna. The enterance is the back door of the sauna, but the food here is literally amazing!!! The owner cooks the meal like healthy meal in Korea! Must try place! You will not be dissapointed

    This place is so freaking good. From the side items, to the mackerel, to the pork cutlets. Everything is good.

    House salad was yummy.

    Had a nice lunch at this small place. It's adjacent to a spa and a lot of their customers go directly from the spa to the restaurant. The food was good. The service was also fine.

    We were craving Korean food after a 7 day Alaska cruise. This restaurant is attached to Q Spa & Sauna. We all got different dishes and it was okay. Not the best we've had but understandable. The portion is huge so can def share a dish with two people. We were pretty disappointed with the seafood pancake since it was so salty which we told the waitress and she waived it at the end. The staffs can be friendly but at times a bit standoffish. Seems like a lot of locals eat here too along with the spa guests.

    Wow...this place is amazing, not just as a spa restaurant but just by their service and food quality in general! I've been here twice, both times when I go to the spa. The first time, we got ttobokki which was a little too sweet so I would skip that. This time, we ordered the Boiled Pork Belly and Seaweed Soup, which came with rice and banchan (side dishes). Get both dishes!! The pork belly was so succulent with a slight crispy skin and a perfect dipping sauce to go with it. The seaweed soup had such an umami flavor and was so comforting! Their complimentary tea is also delicious, so try it. After our meal, we always get a bingsoo (snowflake sherbet) - strawberry and mango are my favorites! They offer takeout and have a back door for guests who want to dine without using the spa, but you still need to take off your shoes (they provide slippers) while inside the restaurant. Highly recommend!

    a table full of asian food
    Thomas Z.

    Ordered beef ramen, beef rib soup, kimchi beef stew, mango bingsu, and stone bowl rice. Good meal with one flaw: everything was a bit too salty. The kimchi side dish was insanely salty. The best dish was the non spicy kalbi soup. Bingsu really hit the spot at the end. Not good enough to visit twice but if you are in their q sauna next door this place is your only option.

    Injeolmi bingsu
    Anna M.

    We've been here twice, once for cheese rabokki and once for bingsu, and were pretty impressed both times. In terms of bang for your buck, there are some other places that serve more quantity-wise for the same price or less, but the quality here is great and the service has been consistently very nice and sweet :o) It's also super clean because it's connected to the sauna, so folks in the cafe are just sliding around in their socks. The cheese rabokki was really good and unique to other ones we've had. Instead of imsil or mozzarella, it had (we think) a mexican cheese mix with (we think) parsley flakes (and unfortunately no fish cake or green onion or egg). But it was still really tasty! We also really enjoyed their bingsu, which is made from shaved milk whereas most places around here seem to make the shaved ice variety. There was no condensed milk served with it, but it had plentiful rice cakes and almonds and was plenty sweet on its own. The ladies waiting tables and running around have been very kind and patient, always greeting us as we come and go. Even though it's more expensive than other places serving similar food, the service and environment and quality will definitely have us coming back in the future.

    If you want to try amazing sullungtang, come here!…read more Other restaurants might have sullungtang, but they don't specialize in it the way JangAn Sullungtang does! They have your classic brisket and even tongue, and if you like slightly chewier meat, go with brisket. If you want more tender, go with tongue. White noodles, glass noodles, or you can choose no noodles! Comes with rice and a side of their housemade radish kimchi and cabbage kimchi. They even bring out dadegi, which is so classic for this dish and makes me feel at home. If you're a fan of mixing textures, definitely order the seafood pancake! So crispy, but also chewy from the seafood, and they definitely don't skimp out on portions of ingredients and the size of this dish in general! I have never had such a good seafood pancake, and it'll definitely be one I crave in the future. The place is so clean and cozy, modern, and the chairs are comfy. The workers are kind, and the prices are pretty fair (comparing to the Bay Area, though). Highly recommend!

My husband went with white wheat noodles and I chose the clear sweet potato noodles. It also came with rice, which was an unexpected but welcome addition. The banchan of kimchi radish and kimchi Napa cabbage were both excellent and refilled quickly without needing to ask twice. The soup is rich, creamy, and deeply comforting, the kind you immediately wish you had closer to home. Only wish is that they had a combination that included tendon, because that would be perfect. Definitely a spot I would come back to when we are in the area.

We had to wait 25 minutes to get refill of hot tea and refill of side dishes. And then we had to wait another 10+ minutes to get to go boxes. We used to like this restaurant but we are now doubting if we want to even give them another chance.

They can accommodate big groups, as they had 2 different large groups at the same time, but those took up a lot of tables because the restaurant isn't that spacious.

We ordered boiled dumplings and the friends combo A with jajung, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk (M). The bowls of jajung and jjamppong are huge, but I didn't notice any meat in the jajung. The jajung was basically noodles, brown sauce, and onions. It was tasty, but disappointing that it looked and tasted vegetarian. The jjamppong was tasty because it was garlicky and slightly spicy. I was surprised to see the boiled dumplings were basically tiny wontons in clear broth. They need to update their menu description because I was expecting dry and regular sized dumplings. The tangsuyuk was very crispy, and I'm glad they served the goopy sauce separately.

We thought the combo comes with only two bowls of rice but they added another one, seeing that we are party of three. That was nice. Banchan was pretty good and I kind of wish I ate more of it before the meat arrived because I got full from other items quickly. Cold noodles were average. Of the four kinds of beef in the combo, I liked three of them except for one (I believe it was the NY steak) - one item was leaner/dryer than other NY steak I had elsewhere. The combo also came with individual sauces (two types - salt in oil and sweet-ish sauce). The sweet sauce was quite forgettable and so I kept dipping the meat in the salt in oil sauce, but I wish they offered other sauce...maybe like soy sauce based ones or just plain salt. The squid stir fry was spicy and I enjoyed it. The combo also came with tofu soup, which was also pretty good. Overall, there were minor stuff that didn't go with my preference, but I had a nice time at WuJu!
