This restaurant sounded really good on the review. I liked the sides of things you try but I think this is a staple for these types of restaurants. The food was decent but not amazing, especially for the price and the deriving size. I won’t be spending that money again for the experience we got.

Absolutely amazing!! This was my first time trying authentic korean food and WOW I picked the right place.
Our waitress was very sweet and took great care of us. My kimchi jjigae was heavenly, flavorful and comforting. Served in a metal bowl so it stays hot. The pork belly in it was INCREDIBLE. My husband had the chicken katstu, he said it was the best he’s ever had (and he’s had lots)! The side dishes were very exciting, each one different and each one delicious. It tasted like a home cooked meal, with only high quality ingredients. We will 100% be back!!
(Only thing to make it better, would be adding gimbap to the menu:) )

Authentic korean restaurant. This korean restaurant is unique in that A LOT of side dishes (ban-chan) are provided. That is a unique eating experience for a korean restaurant.
The food is alright. The bibimbap was okay and the galbitang was good. The price was about $30 per person which was expensive. The seafood pancake (pajeon) was subpar and tasted like alot of flour.

I know what you are thinking, if you loved the food & service why rate 4 star? This is meant to be positive criticism and help the business improve because we wanted to stay.
Vibe: Nice little mom&pop Korean restaurant. I feel like they have a real opportunity to renovate and update most all of the interior. Some things I understand not being able to change (like the electrical being outside of the walls). Other things would be easy to replace and improve the overall experience drastically (From peeling foam molding to sticker wall paper). In sorry, there is a lot of opportunity to upgrade the dining area and bathroom.
Service: Fabulous due to The waitress also being what we perceive to be the owner. She was a sweet lady You seem to know a lot of the regulars that came in (which were all Korean, meaning it’s a sign of authenticity). She was quick, courteous and helpful.
Food: Excellent and more authentic than what we have previously experienced in Alaska. There were still a few fusion dishes, but most dishes were very traditional! Because this was the first time we ate here, I feel like we will have to eat here a few more times to truly get a grasp of a variety of dishes.

Kimchi pancake was burnt on the bottom and they sold it to us. Says a lot. They had a bigger variety of side dishes than any korean restaurant I’ve been to in anchorage. Kimchi pancake was more than $20 and it once piece of thick 3/5 kimchi pancake taste-wise.

Had one of our best Korean cuisine here. It’s really authentic. From all the small starters. To the main dish. So comforting after a long hike found this place, the dinning experience was one of the kind. Perfect choice for cold weather

Great hole in the wall place for Korean food. The banchan is plentiful and delicious. We got an appetizer of pot stickers and shared a bottle of blueberry soju.
My friend got spicy pork bulgogi. He liked it.
I got the grilled croaker. It reminded me of hooligan fish. I wasn’t a fan because of the small bones and fins. It wasn’t for me but may be for others. I preferred the mackarel fish I had the last time there.
We also had a deep fried Oreo in tempura for dessert. Yum!
Overall a great meal. It was pricey but worth it every few months.

Mediocre food, dishonest business practices, wish I could give 1.5 stars instead of 2.
We tried wonjo Korean “cuisine” for the first time on Sunday 9/15/24 based on the google reviews. We deeply regret this decision. My partner woke up Monday morning with a severe belly ache that had to be treated with pepto bismol. The food was a solid “meh” when I was expecting spectacular for the price.
Speaking of price, based on the online menu accessed on 9/15 to order and 9/16/24 to write this review, our order of 1 doenjangjigae (18.99) 1 dolsot bibimbap (22.99) and 1 pork bulgogi (24.99) should have been $67. Plus a 20% tip would have brought the total to $80.40. Please see the last photo where we were charged $81.97 WITHOUT tip!
After I called in our to-go order the lady (owner) said please give us 20min. Fine, reasonable, and sounded quick. I arrive 25min later, and not only was there no parking (so I had to park at brown jug next door), I had to wait 10min to even be acknowledged. The other tables stared at me like I was a nuisance while I waited. Then when I was told my total, I asked “wait, I was expecting it to be $67” she smirked and said “online prices are from 15 years ago, this is the price today. We have to scan your card NOW, it’s [the credit card machine] beeping at me.” Please note that the online menu was updated in September 2021 NOT 15 years ago. I do not appreciate the dishonesty, lies, shady business practices, and mediocre food that causes GI distress. There was nothing crispy about the hot-bibimbap but that’s my fault, you can’t exactly to-go a dolsot. But I sure was charged for it.
In summary, not glad I tried this place and won’t be going back. They were busy enough without my patronage. If anyone has a better Korean place to suggest, I’m all ears/eyes. Thanks for reading about my experience 🙂
