I cant say enough nice things about J Korean! First, lets start with the fantastic food. All of the entrees weve gotten have been excellent and huge portions. Thats not to mention the salad that comes out first as well as the tasty veggie pancake, and the fresh watermelon for dessert. And the sides you get are the best variety and freshest tasting Ive ever seen at a Korean restaurant Ive been to. I have to try so hard not to fill up on all the sides! The food alone is worth the visit, but the staff here really push the place into the excellent category. Each time weve visited, the people working here have been hospitable and go above and beyond to make our experience great. I have to especially single out our last visit with our 8 month old daughter. Ive been nervous taking her out since her favorite activity right now is what I fondly call her "horror movie scream" that she starts doing to see how people will react. The staff at J Korean were so nice to us and took the time to keep saying hi to my daughter to make her smile, they gave her some toys to play with during the meal to accompany the toys we brought, and even gave her a doll to keep at the end of the meal. They really didnt have to do that, but it made her experience even better (and she played with the doll the whole way home and basically every day since). So to summarize: excellent food, superior service. Make sure to try this place out.

We visit H-Mart every couple of months when were in the area, so decided to try J Korean after reading favorable reviews. The woman who waited on us was very helpful and friendly. She suggested the pan fried pot stickers saying "I guarantee youll love them". She was right, they were outstanding, with a delicious dipping sauce. We shared a pork bulgogi as an entree, and it was outstanding. Very tasty with spectacular umami and served with a larger than usual selection of Banchan (the complimentary sides, largely of fermented and pickled items). The type of meal where you become very disappointed as youre finishing the last bits, realizing the end is near. Well definitely be back.

Her review- The best Korean food Ive ever eaten. I really wish I lived in town so we could eat there more often. His review- My fiance and I ordered two orders of the veggie Jap Chea- this is not the first time that we have had Korean food, and I can tell you without a doubt that it was pretty much the most delicious plate of food weve ordered from a restaurant in months. The quality, price, and the friendliness of the staff was well worth the visit on its own, but I swear to you that this food was soooooo fantastic. Before we leave town for the rest of our vacation I will definitely eat there again.

Judy makes me the best vegetarian kimchi noodle soup with excellent customer service and a super friendly attitude... It is so difficult for a korean restaurant to want to fulfill the simple resquest to make it vegetarian and instead of tofu to add noodles. Ive had various cooks very angrily denying my request. "San Soo Gab San" in chicago hung up on me. So glad to have found this place

The food and service were both amazing, Ill definitely be coming back. They were the most polite people, they actually were thanking me for eating their food. They give you 12-13 small sharable dishes (reminded me of tapas) that go along with your meal, then they bring out your food on a sizzling plate. Definitely my new favorite place.

First visit to Mixed up Burger and will return when Im in the area. Very pleasant staff, burger was really good "Ring of Fire". Tasty onion rings. Pretty cool atmosphere. If youre in North Arlington, give it a try. Faith is very pleasant and high energy. Loved having her as a server.

The food is Excellent and the service is Great also! I havent had Korean food this good since I was stationed in southern Korea! I know that my kids and I will be talking about J Korean Restaurant for a long time and next time we are in Naperville we will be Back again and again!

Amazing food and amazing service! Me and my cousin are regulars and love coming to this restaurant. Their bibimbap is delicious and so is there beef bulgogi. But I always get the chicken bulgogi, which to my request they make more spicy. This is an amazing restaurant.

Oh man, so much banchans(side dishes). All fresh ingredients and awesome service. I always stop by here when Im in the area. I usually get the Beef Tofu Soup, so good. Im pretty sure its the only Korean restaurant in the area that actually has a chef.

Good service, tasteless food unfortunately. I used to live near Korean Town in L.A. and had food from Korean friends and this place does not taste authentic. But of course if you havent had good Korean food before you might think its good.

Exotic yummy healthy. I ordered the Mushroom Tofu Soup with an egg, and the hostess brought me 10 different salad samples. Everything was beautiful and my tummy was full before the soup came. I will definitely come back soon.

Told them it was our first time eating Korean food, and they were very friendly and showed us how everything works. Food was delicious with large portions. This pic is after we were all full! Great food, great experience.

Best Korean restaurant in the area. Lovely owners, delicious food. The Bi Bim Bap is an authentic classic. I also love Yukgaejang soup, the Kalbi ribs and Bulgogi. All the sides that come along are excellent! Great value!

Food was amazing! Came here with nothing to lose and fell in love. All the sides, steamed dumplings and great main dishes. Waiter was super nice. Give it a try!!! Youll enjoy it (if you like spicy).

I took my wife here for our 13th wedding Anniversary. The owner, and staff were fantastic towards everyone there. The food was awesome, flavorful, and plenty of it. We will be going back for sure!

The best Korean food since Anjung Ni in 1971. Fresh side dishes and a huge sizzling hot plate of pork Bulgolgi. I couldnt finish the meal and took half of it home. Absolutely delicious.

Delicious food served fresh and hot! Owners are very attentive and caring. A great friend suggested it and we had a great lunch. Now came back with my wife and ca not wait to return!

Alex Peng

Good food + Good service 5/5. Widest selection of banchan Ive seen and they are unlimited! Tofu soups are on point and there are tons of vegan and vegetarian options.

Erica Mielke

Yum! This place is really good and we will certainly be back. You get a lot of food and all of it was tasty. The service was also really good and quite friendly.

Diana Lopez

Love the service. Very vegan friendly and knowledgeable, helpful staff. DELICIOUS food. An awesome first time Korean experience--cant wait to come back!

Simba Nyemba

Lunch specials come with all the typical korean sides. Large amount of food for the price. You wont finish it all. Service is great as well.

Leslie Peters

Today was our first visit. Judy was very nice and helpful. The food was good, and there was plenty to eat. We will go back again.

Overpriced compared to other korean restaurants in the area and ran out of some items which was disappointing.
