Reviews
Korean Fried Chicken (both sauces), Classic Kimbap, Seafood Pancake, Soon Tofu, Jajangmyeon, and Japchae.
I ate with a table of 4. The top picks were Soon Tofu and Seafood Pancake. Bibimbap, Classic Kimbap, Jajangmyeon, and Japchae were okay. Portions for all of these were good.
The presentation of most the food was really good and everything was freshly made. The wait was not very long for the amount of food that was ordered.
The Dak Gaejang was really bad because it was extremely bland. The soup broth just tasted just like water and the toppings and noodles had no flavor to absorb; however, the portion was large. The portions of fried chicken were very poor for the price and the sauces were just a little too salty.
Everything else was honestly just okay, I would only order the top picks again.
Wait staff were polite, could have had refills of water more often.
The menu is small, so if you’re looking for things like galbi, yukgaejang, or other popular korean dishes you won’t find it here but the items they do have are perfected perfectly. I’d give up my first born for their sundubu (tofu soups.. specifically the beef base one)
Also ajuma is so cool with any customization you need, like I prefer my dishes a littler on the saltier side or spicer than normal and it has been meet every time. I come here at least 2/3 times a month. One of my favorite restaurants here in the triangle for sure.
God, make sure to get the kimchi pancakes!!! One of the best I’ve had in the states I ask for extra crispy but to each their own.
I cannot say enough good things, they also have aprons customers can use if you need them. So considerate and so intentional I love it here.
We ordered the following:
Budae Jigae
This is such a perfect dish to get when the weather is cold outside and you’re craving something hot and spicy. The beef broth was very flavorful and had a variety of toppings (veggies, protein, carbs, etc). I wish there was a little bit more ramyun noodles but it’s still a great choice for a shareable dish!
Bulgogi
The beef was sweet, savory, and delicious! This was the perfect way to get more protein in and pairs perfectly with rice and the banchan (side dishes)
Speaking of banchan, everything tasted fresh and tasty. The cheese corn, kimchi, fish cakes, and veggies were all fantastic.
Aside from the delicious food, the workers here were all very welcoming and kind. I even got to speak with the owner here and she was lovely. You can tell how much love and care they put into their service and food. If you’re looking for a spot to indulge in good Korean food, Ajumma is the place to go!
So a little background, we watched Culinary Class Wars and were intrigued by the show, that’s what led to wanting to try Korean food. It was so much better than I expected. It has familiar flavors, but it’s unique and complex and perfectly balanced. The staff was really friendly and sweet.
Boyfriend got a Korean Pilsner, as someone who isn’t a fan of “beer beer”, I actually liked it! I really liked everything and enjoyed trying something new. Also the prices were super reasonable. The quality of food and freshness were top notch. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
We had the spicy Mandu, which was not too spicy but did have a kick. Don’t fear the spice level. The portion size is quite big with 4 Mandu.
The beef bulgogi was a very generous size and tasty. The beef was tender and well seasoned without being overpowered by the spices.
The Dolsot Bibimbap with beef was a stellar choice. It was a welcome combination of egg, rice, vegetables and beef.
Service was excellent and not at all intrusive.
The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. They went above and beyond by helping us with our babies, giving us a chance to truly enjoy the meal. That kind of thoughtful service makes the dining experience not only delicious but also memorable.
