Our friends took us for the first time on a Friday night and we waited about 20mins around 9:30pm. They don't take reservations, you have to put your name down and then they call your name so you have to stick around. It is definitely worth waiting for though! We got set C, which was perfect for 4 people. It comes with pork belly, pork shoulder, pork jowl, and beef. The pork belly and jowl were my favorites. Not only are the meats quality, but the sides are equally as delicious. There's a bean sprout soup, kimchi soup, cold noodles, and pickled veggies. Can't forget the sauces either, I put the garlic oil and wasabi on everything. There's even cheese that you eat with it. They cook the food for you and bring you extra sides if needed. They also serve alcohol so can get soju and beer if you'd like. I can't wait to come back!

The servers are aunties that won't check on you after every bite but will come over the second you raise your hand. I took my mom for lunch and we dug in a little too quick - photos were snapped after we've made a small dent on the food. We got the Seolleongtang and soondae platter which was plenty to share between two people. We ended up taking half of the soondae platter home and enjoying it for breakfast the day after. For those not familiar with Seolleongtang, the soup comes out very basic. You're given a bucket of scallions, a little pot of salt, and shaker of ground pepper to season the broth as you please. I recommend adding a few spoonfuls of the radish kimchi sauce. Speaking of the banchan, Jong Ro prepares some of the freshest and most flavorful banchans on the street. I wish they offered a menu option that was just a bowl of rice and bottomless banchan. The soondae was perfectly springy, paired with a salted shrimp sauce and flavored salt dip. The platter also came with boiled (or steamed?) pork belly, pig ear, and other pork innards that were nicely cooked. I love restaurants like this because they are simply good at what they do. Nothing is over-the-top. There is always a constant stream of customers. The times I've gone have been during your typical slow hours and the place was always 60% full. I imagine the house is full during dinner time or on weekends and rightfully so. Definitely stop by if you're looking for a heartwarming and belly filling comfort meal.

HUGE props to Ian for holding down the FOH fort solo on a slammed Friday night. He handled all the tables and the 8+ groups waiting with such grace and genuine care, showing just the right amount of urgency to indicate the patrons were the priority. He anticipated when the tables might need refills or extra napkins, never flinching when it seemed as though everyone wanted something broiled table side, all while juggling the scorching dishes the kitchen crew cranked out with ease. Ian very easily tipped this review into five star territory with his hard work! We ordered the chicken katsu and the bibimbap for the two of us, but really want to try the short ribs and cheese, and the bibimyun. The crowds were a diverse mix of Korean elders, young college kids, and neighborhood folks - all signs that the food speaks for itself. If you're looking for quality Korean comfort food, a simple menu, and an intimate atmosphere, this is the place for you.

I got the combo A which included your choice of tteobeokki along with the tempura set and a drink. This was delicious, I got it with their signature giant tteobeokki.

The tempura also went great with the sauce, both the dumpling and the roll tempura has vermicelli filling which I found interesting and delicious.

When I received my food 45 minutes later, it was the complete wrong order. I received a rose tteokbokki with ssal tteok. I mentioned this to the kind lady behind the counter and she remade my food. However, when I got the freshly made dish, it was still the wrong order. She remade the dish with garaetteok but it was still rose, and not the grandma style. As it was approaching a whole hour since ordering, I just accepted the food, even though I tried to explain to her that what I received was the wrong order. She told me that what I got was the grandma tteokbokki, which the dish was not since it was creamy and had sausage and bacon. I would have asked for another remake, but she had posted a sign that said the restaurant closes at 1:30pm, and it was shortly after that time. I was hoping to have a good time here since the reviews are great, but this experience makes me apprehensive to give the place a try again.

My friend and I picked from the lunch menu and $16.99 was a good price! More than enough food along with the banchan. The thing to remember is parking is located behind the restaurant.

I'm not sure if it was because we arrived later in the night but our server seemed to rush us to order and was constantly calling someone on the phone. Regardless, he was still nice during our interactions. The Gam Ja Tang was great and the pork was so decadent. For $12 it's a great meal to share between two people. The spicy stir fried squid was also really great as well. The seafood pancake however wasn't as crispy as we wanted it to be and it actually fell apart every time we tried picking it up. Flavor wise it was good but the lack of crunch was disappointing. Overall, I'd say this place is a good option for a late night meal. It's not premium service but it's a cozy place for comfort K-food.

This place knocks BCD out of the water. The soondubu here is incredibly flavorful, and the portions are generous for the price. I got the mild spicy beef soondubu and a mixed grain rice, and it was sooo good. Even when you mix the soup with your rice, you can still taste all of the flavors in the broth and tofu. I also love the banchan variety here-they gave us a stir-fried anchovy one that I don't typically see at other Korean restaurants as well as japchae. Of course, they give you the standard cabbage kimchi, pickled cucumbers, fish cakes, and bean sprouts. Service is fast, and even though the restaurant was packed and bustling, it still felt homey. I never felt rushed to finish eating and pay. I'll definitely be coming back here for my soondubu cravings!
