Reviews
In addition to this standout soup, I’ve sampled other dishes on the menu, all of which showcase authentic Korean flavors and are thoughtfully prepared. The restaurant is clean and cozy, with simple decor that makes it an excellent spot for family dinners or casual outings with friends.
For anyone who appreciates hearty, comforting Korean food, I highly recommend trying the soft tofu soup at Kaju—it’s a flavorful, soul-soothing experience you won’t regret.
The banchan was fresh and flavorful. The kimchi was great.
Enjoyed the grilled galbi with its sweet flavor over a hot bowl of rice.
The clay pot with veggies, beef, and an egg was a nice mix and contained a decent amount of rice. It was filling!
Also appreciated the glass noodles with vegetables, which was a light-medium dish.
The seafood tofu soup was very flavorful and had a great broth.
The La Galbi was tender and flavorful.
The pork belly, on the other hand, fell flat: overcooked and lacking seasoning. The sweet and spicy pork had good flavor but leaned more sweet than spicy.
For sides, the japchae was good light, balanced, and one of the better dishes we tried. The bulgogi stir-fry noodles were good but a little too similar to the japchae to stand out. The kimchi fried rice had a nice kick, and the kimchi beef tofu soup was a table favorite warm, hearty, and comforting.
Overall, the food was good with a few hits and a few misses. I’d come back for the galbi, japchae, and kimchi beef tofu soup, but I’d probably skip the pork belly next time.
The tofu stew itself seemed decently savory with silky tofu, an egg, and well-cleaned intestines. It also arrived piping hot.
The banchan seemed disappointing today. The radish kimchi was barely fermented and slightly bitter; it tasted like raw daikon purchased from the supermarket that morning. Cabbage kimchi seemed acceptable. Banchan sizes were quite skimpy; I ordered a refill for myself.
The tteokbbokki (Korean spicy rice cake) were pretty good and the portions were big! The galbi (Korean beef short rib) wasn’t the best I’ve had but it was quote delicious and actually not that oily (kind of dry but still very flavorful). The soondoobu (spicy soft tofu soup) wasn’t the best I’ve had but a comfort food for a cold day. Their fried dumplings were okay and I recommend trying it with the tteokbbokki sauce.
