This is our second time coming to Bewon since the new ownership, and just as before, we had a wonderful experience! The first thing we noticed upon entering was the clean and bright atmosphere. With the new renovations and quiet music, my husband described it as calm, minimalist, and peaceful. We were warmly greeted by staff who are some of the kindest you’ll meet.
My husband ordered the bibimbap with beef. I ordered the soon tofu jjigae. We ordered soy garlic chicken and japchae with tofu for our young kids. My children are sometimes unwilling to try new foods, but to our delight, they devoured the chicken and japchae with tofu and kept asking for more. I had to try some and agreed that it was very delicious! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The japchae with tofu was flavorful!
My husband enjoyed his bibimbap. I didn’t try it, but I remember how tender and flavorful the beef was from our last visit, plus the veggies tasted freshly prepared. I don’t know how to cook Korean food myself (though my mom was a Korean chef) and the soon tofu jjigae was so comforting and tasted like home.
After visiting Bewon, I decided to read what others were saying and was surprised by some of the negative reviews on here. I think a lot of negative reviewers are forgetting that this restaurant is just starting out and there is a new chef so there are bound to be some changes.
One reviewer complained about the digital menus taking up space, but we appreciated how it made ordering easier, especially with young children. For example, at one point our kids wanted extra drinks in the middle of our meal, and it was so easy to put in that order right then and there. No flagging down staff, no long wait. The same reviewer said that they don’t give you a bottle of gochujang sauce but since covid we found that a lot of restaurants serve sauces in individual cups (cleaner and more sanitary than those sticky shared bottles). Besides, why is it hard to simply ask for more gochujang? I’m sure the staff would be more than happy to bring it to you.
Speaking of wait time, everything came out quickly, even though the restaurant was busy. From the counter, you can partially see what’s going on behind the scenes, and both times we visited, we noticed the chef was hard at work, preparing and cooking food fresh to order, and he does it so skillfully and quickly (so no, the food is not simply reheated and assembled as one reviewer speculated).
Someone gave 1 star for having to order from a digital menu and not being offered anything to drink but water, but how is that a fair review? There are paper menus available at Bewon if you prefer (which I sometimes prefer, too). Not being offered anything to drink but water? I wonder if they were expecting free tea, but that’s something complimentary and shouldn’t be expected. Or perhaps the person missed the entire drinks section on the menu? They offer sweet rice punch, cinnamon punch, Milkis (which my kids were big fans of), and soft drinks.
Anyhow, I hope people will give Bewon a try. Just as the former owners had their own bumps along the way when they first started out, they became a beloved restaurant over the years. From what we’ve experienced so far with the new ownership of Bewon, it is very promising, and we wish good luck and much success to Bewon’s new restaurant chef and staff!

Went to Bewon with my husband and we loved it! We tried the hot stone bibimbap, spicy pork, and Korean fried chicken — everything was super tasty. The side dishes were fresh and nicely done too.
The place has a really nice vibe, and the service was great. I also liked that you can order straight from the tablet attached to the table, super convenient.
I heard the owner used to be a chef at the famous Shilla Hotel in Korea, and honestly, you can tell — the food feels a bit more refined. Definitely planning to come back and will recommend it to others!

Me and my wife was long time customer of this place when it was previously owned by the original owner. After we moved to different state we will still drive hours back and enjoy the food and memories. Since it’s sold to new owner everything changed and apparently new owner don’t care about the business at all, just go check others reviews. For the rating I would recommend before but not anymore. Feed sad when I come in and see the screen and everything, not longer same place.

Contrary to the negative reviews, the experience I had here tonight was wonderful!
My husband ordered the Beef Bulgogi Set and I ordered the Yukgaejang meal. He had a Sprite and I ordered the Sikhye.
Seriously? I dont understand what the negative reviews were talking about. Its a new owner, new chef, new menu. The food is DELICIOUS.
The flavors are bright, fresh, and bold. The Yukgaejang i had was so comforting and provided the perfect amount of heat on a chilly day. My husband hadn’t eaten all day because he was busy at work, and he went to TOWN on his meal set. The side dishes were refreshing, the entrees were so filling, and the atmosphere was friendly and comfortable. The timing of the items being brought to the table was perfect, and I loved the convenience of the tablet/table ordering system.
Definitely will be coming back and bringing friends. I’m going to try all their dishes if this curated chef’s menu is like the entrees we ordered tonight!

(Update 9/5 – Second visit after new management takeover)
I decided to give this place another try since some of the old menu items have started making a comeback. This time I ordered the seafood pancake, galbi tang, and soon tofu jigae. Still no wooguhji galbi tang on the menu, but seeing familiar dishes gave me a bit of hope.
I was surprised when the seafood pancake showed up in a pizza box. Honestly, it didn’t look very appetizing—it seemed like it was missing enough flour/starch—but it turned out to be delicious. The galbi tang tasted very close to how it used to, no complaints there (though if I’m nitpicking, I wish it was served a little hotter). The soon tofu jigae was actually better than before, which was a nice surprise.
Because of these returning dishes, I’m bumping up my overall rating. Now please—bring back the wooguhji galbi tang !

First time trying the new menu during their soft opening. I’ve been a loyal Bewon fan since moving to Ann Arbor from Asia five years ago. Their galbi tang and wooguji galbi tang were my go-to comfort dishes—I’ve tried them at many restaurants in and outside Michigan, and Bewon’s were truly the best. It’s disappointing to see those dishes disappear with the change in ownership and renovation.
This time I ordered bulgogi and spicy beef stew. The food was fine but nothing stood out. On the positive side, the renovated space feels cleaner and more modern, and the staff were warm and personable.
Overall, I’d hesitate to return for the new menu unless some of the beloved classics (like jajangmyeon, seafood pancake, and galbi tang) make their way back.

Bewon has new owners and the menu is now simplified to attract the younger crowd! Less hospitality is now replaced with technology. My potato noodles in my Jap Chae were rubbery and my hubby’s dolsat lacked the crunchiness! Way too much change for a well loved restaurant. I miss my grilled mackerel and ginseng chicken soup!

I came here in the morning and got the fried egg over rice with a beef stew/broth and it was absolutely delicious! The portions for the price are wonderful, and I even had leftovers. I would definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic Korean food. I’d definitely come again as someone who doesn’t even live in Ann Arbor.

I was able to taste authentic Galbitang and Yukgaejang, just like the ones you can find at a professional restaurant in Korea.

I just went here for the first time since the old owner retired, and, man, it’s SUCH a bummer now. They have these fugly digital menus (and which stay on the entire time you eat and take up part of the table and it just ruins the vibe), and the (dolsot) bibimbap now *barely* crisps up the rice. And they don’t even give you a bottle of gochujang sauce! You get a tiny plastic cup of it and have to ask for more (which is just more plastic waste). Super wasteful and stingy. The banchan aren’t as tasty anymore either – the kimchi was fine/the same, but the other two were disappointing. They also changed some of the veggies that are in the bibimbap, which is fine but I preferred the old preparation. (I also think they raised the prices, but I’m not 100% positive on that)
The only two positive changes I noticed were the switch to metal utensils, which is great, and they now give you a carafe of water instead of having to wait for someone to come refill your cup.
Overall a huge plummet in quality and enjoyment. The old Bewon was a 6/5 experience, and this new experience is the pits. 2/5, and I wonder if that’s being too generous. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Ann Arbor, and now I don’t see myself ever going back.

Arrived for lunch. Not very busy. Ordered the beef Bibibap. Absolutely delicious. Comes with a variety of side items. You can get it in a hot bowl for a few dollars more. Drink refill never happened. Place has a worn down dingy look.
