    Overall: casual Korean food, big portion sizes, fine service We all enjoyed our food here. We loved the bonchon, especially the cucumbers and broccoli. Our bibimbap was large, super hot, and balanced. Our sons loved the bulgogi over rice. I prefer having a physical menu to an online menu. High chairs were available.

    summary: Korean style cuisine in a cozy sit-down style restaurant serving traditional style Korean dishes with a generous selection of banchans (side dishes). WooRiJib's menu has a selection of soups, noodles, and rice dishes while including some popular Korean street foods. Everything feels like it's made to order and fresh including all of the side dishes. All of the items were well balanced, flavorful, and generous in portion size. I had the DolSot GalBi Bibimbap and it hit the spot. The food came out sizzling and the stone pot made things nice and crispy. All of the ingredients felt fresh and the meat was tender too. The server was very kind and accommodating with the food taking about 10-15 minutes to come out from order. They had a pretty modest single-stall gendered bathroom setup. All in all, if you're looking for more traditional Korean dishes - e.g. bibimbaps, bo ssam, kalguksu, etc. WooRiJib is a great place to stop by.

    Located behind cafe June with ample parking in the parking lot. We went for an impromptu dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant was pretty calm and quiet near closing. Staff were very nice and attentive, starting us with some hot tea on a cold winter day. We got the budae jeongol for the 2 of us which felt like a huge portion but also the menu was on the pricier side. They immediately brought out so many variety of banchan (side dishes) which was all very fresh and flavorful. The casserole itself was great on a cold day with the ramen, rice cake, spam, sausage, etc. The portion was so big we had to take a bunch of leftovers home.

    I've always liked Woo Ri Jib, but my recent visit was especially great. I heard they have new ownership, and I have to say I really like the new owner, super friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing as always, and I really appreciated that they didn't charge for takeout boxes like the previous owners did. That alone made the experience feel better. Overall, great food, great vibes, and I'll definitely be coming back.

    This restaurant is little tucked away behind the building (behind cafe June). They have pretty authentic good Korean food. Especially Bossam was perfectly cooked. Their side dishes are always yummy, great service and cozy atmosphere.

    You will get what you pay for! We were joyfully surprised by the truly generous portion sizes and amazing flavors. The complementary banchan includes a wide variety of unique and classic small dishes. We ordered the steamed pork belly (bossam) and galbi tang, and both were delicious. We ate so much and still had enough for another meal for two people the next day. Very efficient and friendly service without being overbearing. Hope to be back!

    seafood pancake

    Cozy restaurant with kpop songs as BGM. The waitress was friendly and attentive. Food was also authentic, I liked the seafood pancake the most-it was crunchy but not oily at all.

    I am updating the rating to 5 because I truly love this place! All their dishes are very tasty and authentic. I am definitely returning soon.

    Very solid Korean place wish delicious banchan. Everything was tasty and authentic. Nothing mind blowing, just a soothing home cooked meal. There were a bit more cucumbers than I was used to in my soondubu jigae but it's nice to have veggies I guess. They have a nice big parking lot. Vibe is cozy with lots of large tables available for a quiet meal.

    8 types of ban chan

    Nice homey comfort food tucked away behind the bigger plaza so maybe traffic here isn't as as good, and maybe because we came on 12/27 but it's a Friday and the restaurant is pretty empty except two other parties before and after us. However, I think the food here is very delicious. First they have 8 kinds of ban chan, and one of them is acorn jelly which is a treat. They also have rolled omelet and this mustardy dish that's very refreshing, in addition to standards like kimchi, broccoli, sprouts, cucumber. We liked all of them! For food we had sulluntang and dolsot bibimbop (veggies, yes fiber!). Both are priced reasonably. The sulluntang was rich in flavor and bibimbop was loaded with veggies. Highly recommend.

    The food was good. The place was busy. Even though it's kinda hidden, surprise to still see the place full when I went. Very short staffed but the 1 person working at the front of the restaurant was prompt and the food came quickly. Decor was simple and not fancy.

    Stir fried pork
    Sandra K.

    4.5 but rounding up because I loved it so much. I think this is my new favorite spot for Korean comfort dishes! Bonchon is usually quite good quality, portions are massive and flavorful. Also so impressed by the solo waitress manning all of the tables at lightning speed. I ordered the stir fried pork with egg (perfectly fried egg) and kalguksu (only comment is that I wish it had a little more salt). I've also had their yukgaejang with knife noodles and dolsat bibimbap - both were delicious.

    Sera K.

    I liked the ambiance of the restaurant and that it wasn't busy on a Sunday for lunch. All of the banchan that came to the table was delicious. I ordered the Galbi Combo with Tofu Soup. The galbi was flavorful and marinated well. The tofu soup packed a bit in flavor and I wish it had more soup since I like to mix the broth with rice to eat it. I've had better tofu soup at other Korean restaurants. Overall, I enjoyed the customer service and the variety on the menu, but was a little disappointed in the food.

Service: 5/5 server was very kind, cooked the meat for us, and was amenable to getting us plates and bowls for sharing food. Ambiance: K-pop music that isn't too loud in the background.

We tried out a combo meal of 6 with ribeye, sirloin, mainly beef. The servers also grilled and cut all the meats for us which is nice. All side dishes are pretty standard like most other Korean restaurants. A delicious bowl of steam eggs came with the meal, wish they would at least offer two bowls for a party of 6 and surprisingly no rice came with the combo. We had to add an extra order of steak and seafood pancake since no one was really full with the combo. I would say this place is for those who have high expectations of fresh & premium meats. You will not be stuff or over indulged because it can be quite pricey. Our bill with tips & taxes was about $55 per person. It's a bit pricey for lunch and I wasn't even full. If you never been to this restaurant before, I recommend that you try it out at least once but I don't think we will be back here anytime soon.

    summary: great experience all around. Went on a weekend and love that they open a little earlier…read morethan other restaurants (10AM), so it was pretty empty. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly and checked in on us often to make sure we didn't need anything. The food was delicious and fresh. Would definitely recommend if you're in the mood for some traditional Korean soups/dishes. Details: They are located in the route 40 shopping center area near HoneyPig/EC Diner and the venue is a pretty modest sized location. There's still a decent amount of seating (standard table and chairs) with small-ish bathrooms. The menu items range from like mid 10s to mid 20s on average depending on what kind of protein you're ordering. The portion sizes are pretty generous. I think my favorite menu item we tried was the snowflake dumpling. Very aesthetically pleasing, but also tasty and crispy. The banchan (side dishes) were fresh. As far as the flavors go, I was happy with all the entrees. The dishes had the depth of flavors you hope for when you eat soup like these. The meats were also tender and well cooked too. Overall positive experience!

Not bad by any means, but not quite what I was hoping for in terms of depth of flavor. That said, it's still probably one of the better Korean spots in the neighborhood. The space itself is really small and definitely gets busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait or tight seating. Prices are also on the higher side (around $20 per dish), which adds to the expectations. I will say, the service was warm and friendly, which I appreciated. Overall, if you're not making Korean food at home, this is likely your best local option; but I might stick to my own bone broth next time

The inside is pretty spacious. Plenty of seating available even when the parking lot is packed for the lunch rush. The price is 19 per person. The sushi was good but not all that great of a variety.

My Korean friend even said some of the dishes remind him of his mom's cooking, which I think is a very high compliment :) Since it's so affordable and a buffet, don't expect anything intricate or outstanding. I found that some of the sushi was not savory/flavorful enough. And I wish there were some dessert options. But overall, I do like this place!

Small Korean sides of kimchi, cucumbers, radish, and a couple other items were brought out. I always enjoy eating the sides which were all good. The seafood pancake was huge and had a ton of green onions which I love. My Galbi was lightly sweet and tender. Joe came back to assist with cutting up the meat and turning the tofu soup for me so the flavors were mixed. I enjoyed the medium spicy level I got for the tofu soup and really enjoyed everything we got. Such a great find for some delicious Korean food. Staff were friendly and the owner, Joe was awesome.
