Tasty food with lots of seating on a Friday evening. Spicy boneless chicken was good. Not too salty, not too drenched in sauce, nicely coated. Portion size was surprisingly big in a good way. Bulgogi Bimbibap was good but the bulgogi was a bit too saucy/wet for me. It made the rice by that area wet. Would likely not get this again unless it changes. After ordering, the staff brought some complimentary banchan. The potatoes were my favorite! I would come back for the chicken and to try some other things on the menu.

Stopped into Nam Chon for a quick bite at like 3:00pm. It was an amazing lunch! We got mushroom tofu soondubu to share between two; food came out fast, was exactly the hot and cozy meal that I needed, and the perfect amount of food for two people. The prices are unbelievably good; I’d recommend Nam Chon for walk-in dining, it’s especially great for large parties, and if you want a family-owned casual Korean dining experience.

You can't get better than Nam Chon. Go and try it! My family has just had an amazing lunch. We all ordered a meal from a different part of the menu as we had never had Korean before and wanted to get a full experience. The appetizers were all unique and flavorful, cucumber with a tangy sauce, mouthful sized roast potato pieces with a sweeter sauce, not too spicy Kimchi and delicious fish with pepper. I must admit I was hesitant to try all these unknown dishes but I was blown away! Once the appetizers were polished off, I found myself dipping the end of my chopsticks into the small dish of remaining homemade soy sauce as it was so yummy. The substantial main courses were all very different and I could have really enjoyed eating any one of then. Each meal had a unique flavor and not partic

I discovered this place through TikTok, and wow, it did not disappoint! 🙌 As an Asian who has been to hundreds of Korean restaurants, I can confidently say this is one of the best I’ve ever tried. The dishes were perfectly seasoned, and I loved that everything was served in hot pots, keeping the food warm until the very last bite. The banchan was amazing too, especially the fried potato one, which was my favorite! But the real star of the meal was the tofu soup. My throat was sore after the G-Dragon concert, and this soup honestly felt like it healed me 🥹. If you come here, I highly recommend trying their soups! The owner was also incredibly kind and attentive. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does as he personally checked on every table, explained dishes to customers, and even
