We ordered spicy pork shoulder, bulgogi tofu stew, japchae. The dish is in smaller portions and lighter flavor compared to the OG Korean restaurants. If you have big stomach, I think u need to at least order a side dish other than main dish. Maybe it’s healthier since the taste is lighter? But in general still tastes good and the price is fair enough for the portion you get. We sat outside and it was pretty chill.

My favorite place so far! I love the Chul Pan Udong, so delicious! And spending time in this cosy warmful place. The service is great, he is so kind and takes time to explain to you every meal. I will definitely spend a lot of my time there. Also, very cheap for the quality's service. Very recommended!!!

This is one of my fav spots in JC! They have delicious food! I recently tried their veggie waffles and kimchi fried rice with tofu (yes they customize if you ask for tofu)! I have also tried their Tofu Bibimbop and it’s yummy. 10/10 recommend this place 3

Good place to eat Korean food. Kim chi fried rice and ramen were really good. Rolls in sushi style as well. You can bring your own alcohol from the store close to the restaurant.

A lovely place for a quick meal in a clean and lively setting. The best kimchi I’ve ever had in my life. Rice was underdone, but guessing that’s just a fluke. Would come here again!

We saw that Ahri's kitchen had great reviews and decided to give it a try. We ordered the veggie waffles, Japche (glass noodle dish), Tofu Binbimpop and the vegetable roll Gimbop! Both the appetizers were awesome and we loved them. The main course dishes were good too. Although the serving size looked small, it was more than sufficient for the two of us and the dishes are all good value for money. The one and only put off was the service, we were first asked to sit anywhere because the place was almost empty when we went and then the server came up to us and asked us to move to another 2 seat table that was not clean. The whole time we were there, no one else came in so this was kind of unnecessary. I'm not reducing stars since we loved the food, but hope the restaurant will improve their service going forward.

Lovely Saturday night dinner with 2000s rock playing. Great atmosphere, adequate vegetarian options and quick service. The tofu bibimbap, vegetarian dumplings and the tartufo were all good.

A "hole-in-the-wall" place! Unlike many Korean restaurants, where they tend to overuse the spices to a point they overpower the natural taste of key ingredients, the food here appears to reach a good balance among all ingredients, including the spices. This was the case for the ones we tried. The seaweed roll (beef) tasted just like how my mom used to make them -- my mom was an excellent cook. The kimchi fried rice with pork was really a surprise to me -- how mildly kimchi was infused for soft but really tasty treat, not overpowering the whole thing. The homemade dumpling was good in analogously balanced manner. The sauces that came made it even better - the peanut infused (?), low salty soy sauce for the dumpling and the seaweed roll, and the mildly spicy mayo that went well with all three items. Compliments to the chef who appears to have keenly developed sense of taste and craftsmanship!
