Jjigae Korean Cafe

5 stars for amazing and friendly service, as well as for the phenomenal food. The only reason I'm doing 4 stars on the overall rating is they have a small roach problem it seemed, it even looked like they had just sprayed for them. I know that stuff happens with restaurants, so it doesn't particularly bother me per se, I just know others may want to know. It seems like it was because of the shutdown place connected to them that they were even in the restaurant, because the place itself, and restrooms were very clean. Back to the food and service. Our servers were both amazing and friendly, answered all our questions thoroughly, and kept our drinks and sides refilled the whole time. The food, having the Kimchi Stew as my main dish and pork dumplings for an appetizer, I was beyond impressed personally. Some amazing flavors and loved the added small side dishes they give you to add to your main dish. The sauteed kimchi was my absolute favorite of the small dishes, but they were all awesome in their own way. Definitely suggest giving them a try, in my personal opinion, it's well worth checking out.

Great Mom and Pop, authentic Korean food restaurant. Erica did a great job even with the big lunch rush. During a recent hospital stay, their soups were the only thing my Korean mother would eat. Go by and see them, you won’t be disappointed! Update to my initial post: Thank you to the chef, his wife and Erica. As you know my mother had her third bout of cancer. She was unable to cook and you provided her with her favorite dishes. She lost her fight on Christmas Eve. Your kimchi stew was the last meal she consumed before complete loss of appetite. I will be forever grateful to you all for the kindness and hospitality. See you soon!

Getting to the location was slightly annoying because of the construction but was totally worth maneuvering through it. Ordered beef short ribs ($15), bulgogi (can't remember price), and kimchee stew ($8). Everything was delicious. The female server was extremely knowledgable on the menu, polite, and attentive. Definitely coming back.

Wow! The flavors! Staff was very polite and attentive. Drinks were topped off, sauces brought and explained with the dishes, presentation was good. We had Kimbap starter, good clean crisp flavor with a little bit of crunch. Very nice. I ordered Bibimbop bowl and had to ask what the meat was (as expected it was their bulgogi) but I asked because the flavor was insane. When I go again, I will get a whole plate of bulgogi. It's that good. The girls ordered curry bap and spicy stirfried pork belly. We shared bites of each other's items and all were big on flavor, and quantity. We left very full, and very pleased. Did I mention the bulgogi?.... Yeah, worth it.

As someone who has lived in Korea for over three years, I hold Korean restaurants here in the US to a high expectation. This was my first time here and it was actually quite a good one. I ordered the bibimbap and it was amazing. It had some subtle differences but that’s because of local ingredient differences. All in all, the people were very nice and the food was great. I see myself coming back here.
