Reviews
During my visit, I didn’t see any non-Korean speakers in the restaurant, but this spot is worth considering despite its location. It offers some of the most authentic Korean food you’ll find.

Upon dining there again, I noticed significant service improvements. The food tasted good, especially the Modum Soondae and Spicy Beef Tripe Soup. The atmosphere was clean and tidy, and I observed non-Korean customers enjoying their meals, which clearly indicates that this restaurant is popular among Koreans and others. This second visit prompted me to change my original 4-star rating to a 5-star rating. I will return to try more dishes soon!
Even though I got takeout, the food quality was top-notch, and it traveled well. If you’re in the mood for something unique and delicious, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Can’t wait to go back and explore more of the menu!
We opted for the jokbal (pigs feet) and abbaee soondae + tteokbokki spicy rice cake. I personally do not eat jokbal so I did not to try it…. but the soondae was so bouncy with the addition of the sweet rice. It also had a very mild flavor which pairs nicely with the salt or even the rice cake sauce! The tteokbokki was also very delicious!! The sauce was a good balance of spicy and sweet. The portions were generous and had a nice mix of rice cake, fish cake and veggies. It even came with an egg.. which does not happen often at restaurants.
The service was also excellent! There were 2 women working the front and they were quick, friendly and made sure we were taken care of despite how busy the restaurant got.
Another really great spot for lunch so if you’re looking for something more casual and quick, I highlyy recommmennndddd!!!
Vibe: 5/5. Tucked away on the bottom level of a office building, Abbaee has a simple layout making it the perfect place for impromptu lunch and dinner meetups. The restaurant is on the smaller side, with about a dozen tables for groups of 2-4 people. Large group dining would be challenging in this space, so best keep the group get togethers for KBBQ.
Service: 5/5. The staff at Abbadae were great from start to finish. My party of 2 went on a Thursday for lunch and we were greeted by the staff and seated immediately. Korean is the preferred language for the restaurant, however English will do just fine. The menus are nicely laid out in both Korean and English with several pictures to use as guides for Korean food newbies. Staff was attentive throughout the whole meal, with orders taken immediately when ready as well as food arriving at the table not too long after that.
Food: 5/5. Very authentic to the point it made me reminisce about the many soondae I had throughout Seoul and Busan. Abbaee offers several varieties of soondae, from the traditional, to a spicy and sweet rice variety. On my lunch visit, I had the traditional soondae, tteokbokki, jokbol and Seolleongtang. Everything tasted fantastic, with the jokbol and soondae taking awards for best in show. The soondae has a nice sought after squishy texture with a pleasant mild flavor and generous in portion size. The jokbol was perfectly cooked, with each bite emitting juicy pork goodness. The tteobokki was what you come to expect from the dish, mildly sweet sauce with subtle spice from the gochujang. The rice cakes were a little on the softer side vs chewy/al dente which is what I personally prefer. Seolleongtang was the most underwhelming of all the dishes, as it was extremely mild in flavor and required a fair amount of doctoring up with the banchan to get it where I wanted. Pricing is very fair for the area, with each dish costing around $10-12 for decent portions. Overall, Abbaee puts out some solid Korean comfort eats that make it the perfect lunch time go to.
I’ve ordered from plenty of other soondae-guk places for takeout, but this was my first time trying this one—and I was so shocked, I had to leave a review. I don’t know how well you expect to live by cutting corners like this. As a Korean, I just want to say—please don’t scam foreigners. It’s embarrassing.
