What People Are Saying About Ginza Korean & Japanese

The Scene – Owner Chong Won Kim is the sushi chef, but it's his wife, Bokhee, whose cooking never fails to impress on every visit. – – For Starters – Her gyoza soup, filled with pork dumplings, gets things off to a great start. If you're with a group, try the nok du jun, a mung bean pancake filled with sprouts, pork, vegetables and homemade kimchee. – – The Entrees – For a main dish, bibimbap, the traditional street food of meat, vegetables, sprouts and fern roots served over rice, is good here, as is tak tori tan, a spicy chicken…

Steel garnish
by ngv
I had every intention of enjoying an authentic Korean dining experience. What I got was luke-warm Bee Bim Bap garnished with a piece of steel wool form an abrasive cleaning sponge. We walked into an empty restaurant. Our food was never fully hot and tended to rely heavily on salt. The bee bim bap I ordered came in a cold bowl (it's suppose to be sizzling in a stone bowl) and after taking a few bites, I discovered a coil of steel wool among the rice. I told the waitress who matter-of-factly told me it was a piece of steel cleaning wool from the kitchen. She did not take the order off my bill. My experience may or may not have been unique but I will not be returning.

Outstanding authentic Korean food!
by JaimeLynne
I found this restaurant while searching for something different and decided to give this Korean jewel a try. And am I glad I did! This restaurant has become my newest addiction! The food is very authentic and everything that I've had on the menu so far is just out of this world, my current favorite being the chicken yaki soba. Great noodle dish with the freshest veggies and the biggest cuts of chicken, and the sauce? Yum! You get to choose the heat and the portions are very nice. Food is always fresh and hot, even for take out. The atmosphere is cute, very casual and very cozy, nothing too fancy. The waitresses are just wonderful and very sweet and the owner is super nice.....you're treated like family as soon as you walk in. I definitely recommend this restaurant to just about anyone! And don't forget to save some room for dessert! The green tea ice cream is a terrific way to end your meal. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to order some take out! :)
- Pros: portion size, varied menu to please any palate, service
- Cons: parking

VERY NICE RESTAURANT
by kyoko0101
The master of this restaurant is a nice person. My Japanese friend worked at this restaurant over 4 years ago. While she worked there, often yelled at her if she didn't do anything wrong(in front of customers) and threw food at her face. On the other hand he always treated his daughters as 'princesses'. My friend quit before taking that action.
