The food was excellent. I got the hotpot bibimbob it was solid portions. Came with sides. For the price of $14.99 it was a very fair price for the quality and portions. The place deserves a higher rating. That's why I feel it needs to be 4.9 spot.

I’ve had the bibimbap in a stone bowl several times, and never been disappointed. Today I left something out of our order and they went the extra mile to take care of us. Great food and excellent service!

Craving some Korean food. Joen Korean Restaurant was the right place! Inside the Lotte Plaza Market food court, I ordered the #13 Yuk gae jang. It was a spicy soup with beef, egg, bean sprouts, green onion, mushrooms, & glass noodles. For about $15 it came with a side of rice that l thought could serve 2 people plus the banchan sides. After ordering I got a little buzzer to notify me when my order was ready. The soup was tasty and filling! Spiciness level was good, not overpowering or too light. Great value and yummy food!

I got the spicy pork bulgogi. It tasted good, but the service can be slow which isn’t an issue since it’s still a new restaurant.

Had the Spicy Galbi Tang and it was delicious, so much flavor. Comes with rice and the sides also. A decent amount of food for the money.

I’ve been here multiple times and have always gotten the yukgaejang, it’s always been really good and the rice well cooked! My only suggestion is if the yukgaejang had gosari it would be perfect

We got the beef bulgogi. It was really delicious!! We of course got a bubble tea each from the nearby tea shop and ate our food in the sitting area. A great experience, we will go again.
