Anyone familiar with traditional Korean food will tell you that Wang Ja Jang is as authentic as it gets. It’s a clean, quiet restaurant that serves delicious food without any pomp or circumstance. The prices are quite reasonable, especially considering the large portion size and attentive service.

Go for the flavorful bulgogi, spicy noodle soups, or hot pot soups. The spicy seafood soup is a particular crowd favorite, and there are plenty of other vegetarian options as well. The menu definitely has some lingo that you may be unfamiliar with unless you eat Korean food often, but the friendly staff is happy to help.

Wang Ja Jang is open seven days a week.
