Whole in a wall, family-owned, down to earth, no frills Korean restaurant - very delicious flavours and the sweetest owners! I really loved how warm they are to their customers. Portion sizes were good and side dishes were also delicious. A little out of the way if you're travelling from the loop but definitely worth checking out!

Ban Po Jung serves up homemade-style Korean food that's incredibly comforting. The Banchan was refreshing, and they even offer a complimentary pancake! Among the dishes we ordered, the Naengmyeon stood out with its refreshing and well-flavored clear beef broth; the charbroiled mackerel was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fried kimchi & pork belly had a great kick of spice, balanced with tofu pieces. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and definitely look forward to coming back for more.

Ban Po Jung is a quintessential mom & pop Korean eatery with a humble dining room ambiance. Upon entering, we were promptly seated and served hot cups of barley tea - a good sign of hospitality. The atmosphere felt cozy, with one of the owners playing music from YouTube on a TV. As we perused the menus, we settled on dolsot bibimbap and the Bi-bim-naeng-myun - Spicy Chilled Noodles with Beef & Veggies. Our orders arrived swiftly along with banchan, and I appreciated the thoughtful touch of providing scissors to cut through the noodles. The flavors were delightful; my noodles were spicy and accompanied by fresh veggies. However, the portion of beef in our dishes was noticeably sparse, almost forgettable. Despite this, the overall quality of the food was commendable. We opted for the lunch special prices, which offered decent value for money

One of my favorite local Korean places. I wanted to try something need this time and got the goat soup. It had very strong flavors and smells so I would not get again.

Sometimes the best Korean food is the hole in the wall, mom & pop run restaurants in a strip mall. Ban Po Jung is a hidden gem. HUGE portions. Highly recommend the Korean Seafood Pancake - crisp on the outside, chewy and savory with perfectly paired sauce Beef & chicken bulgolgi that comes with all thr bonchon! Enough to share and extremely affordable. All meals come with hot tea & soup! Lovely service that's quick and attentive. Will def be back!

We were a few out-of-towners who were craving Korean food. Found this on Google and tried it out. Service was friendly by the male owner who welcomed us and also served us. There was a homey feel to the place probably because most of the customers at the time seemed to have a personal relationship with the male owner.Food-wise, nothing to complain about. Appreciated the complementary seafood pancake which came out crispy and hot! Standard variety of side dishes. Prices were pretty reasonable as well.Pleasant experience.

This Korean restaurant is a hidden gem. We ordered soft tofu soup, streaming potstickers, kalbi, bulgogi beef, and spicy marinated blue crabs. These dishes are great. Taste like Korean home cooking food. This is the first time I tried the spicy marinated blue crabs.The husband and wife that serve us were nice. Service is friendly There is plenty of parking space in the front of the restaurant.

Sadly, the food and customer service have really gone down hill in the past few years. Perhaps it's because we are not Korean and we are therefore treated differently. For example, we got water instead of tea. The dumplings were pretty burnt. We asked for the dumpling soup with rice cake without eggs and it came out with eggs. When we asked for it to be served without the eggs, they strained some eggs out and left some back in. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I'm sure the service will be better if you were Korean.

It's just okay. Definitely authentic Korean food however not too much of a wow factor. We ordered naengmyeon (cold noodles) and bulgogi along with spicy raw marinated crab. The crab was just okay unfortunately and it had a couple fishing lines in it... side dishes were meh. Service was meh. It overall was okay.
