One of my favorite

by sukidayo

Wonjo is one of my best lunch depot because they have the least amount of MSG in their food. I have MSG allergy so this is very critical. And still the their dishes taste great.

I especially LOVE their home hand made mandoo. And I swear they have the best kimchi jigae! My wallet especially adores the their current lunch deals during the weekdays. Moo gook does wonders for me if I had a drink or two the night before.

Kalbi BBQ is another story. Two weeks ago, several of us took a colleague out for her b-day. While we've had lunch at Wonjo before, it was her first experience with Korean BBQ. Two weeks later, she is still talking about the BBQ and how she can't stop thinking about it! Kalbi was a bit expensive compared to lunch. But since I've had Kalbi at other Korean restaurants before, I knew what to expect.

• Pros: Lowest MSG content, best mandoo, kimchi jigae, and galbi

Definitely not a good spot

by stevelee811

30 minutes for side dishes to come. Another 30 minutes for main dishes and BBQ even though the restaurant was not even 25% full. Food was served in small portions with hefty prices. For example they charged way too much for a dumpling soup that has six pieces of dumpling with a few thin slices of seaweed swimming pathetically. The bbq beef and chicken were very stiff. Soon doo bu soup was too salty. The Waitreses were rude and the food was very slow to arrive. The sliced radish serving with sashimi were not fresh. Overall experience was very disappointing. Not recommended unless you want a long hungry chat.

• Pros: decent food
• Cons: expensive and bad service
