Ahjoomah's Apron Korean Restaurant

We had dinner at Ajum’s Apron in Chinatown with high expectations, but unfortunately the flavors didn’t quite deliver. The portions are generous and reasonably priced (around $20 per dish), which is definitely a plus. The banchan was good — well-seasoned and nicely portioned. The atmosphere is calm and relatively quiet, making it easy to have a conversation, and visually the place looks clean and pleasant. However, the main dishes were underwhelming. I ordered the Jjamppong (spicy seafood stew), and while the portion was large, the broth lacked depth and seasoning. The dominant flavor was crab, but overall it tasted watery and under-salted. I couldn’t finish it. My partner ordered Tteok Mandu Guk, and the sesame oil was visibly floating on top of the soup, overpowering the rest of the flav

Ahjoomah's Apron Korean Restaurant delivers fantastic, homestyle Korean food. Every dish we ordered, from the crispy Haemul Pajeon (Seafood Pancake) and the perfectly glazed Korean Fried Chicken Wings to the tender grilled Mackerel and the variety of fresh Banchan, tasted authentic and delicious. The food quality is genuinely outstanding and earns top marks. The only area for improvement during our visit was the service. While polite, the staff seemed a bit slow or distracted, resulting in some delays and a lack of attentiveness. Verdict: Go for the incredible Korean comfort food—it's worth it! Just be prepared to be patient with the dining room flow. This spot is a winner once they smooth out the front-of-house operations.

I love Korean food, but I was really disappointed when I tried this restaurant. The black bean noodles (jajangmyeon) were very disappointing they didn’t taste good at all. The katsu was horrible, honestly the worst katsu I’ve ever had. I’ve tried this dish before and usually love it, but this one felt like a scam. The “katsu sauce” was basically mayonnaise, and it was served cold. It had nothing to do with curry sauce, and even the side salad wasn’t good. The side dishes were also below average. I won’t go again, and I don’t recommend it.

We stumbled upon this Korean spot in Chinatown and I’m so glad we did! We visited on a Tuesday night and were seated right away. The staff was friendly, and they had a great Tuesday special which was half-off noodles. I got the chicken bulgogi, and my friends ordered two noodle dishes. The portions were generous, the flavors were excellent, and our total bill came out to only $45, such a great value for the amount of food we got. The cozy atmosphere reminded me of restaurants I visited while studying abroad in South Korea. Definitely planning to come back!

I had such an amazing experience at Ahjoomah’s Apron Korean Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the authenticity in every dish. Vanessa provided outstanding service! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. She gave great recommendations and checked in at just the right times without ever making us feel rushed. Her positive attitude truly elevated our dining experience.
