Marked as vegan friendly. But not vegan friendly at all for brunch. Really disappointing in 2024 to have two menu items you have to remove almost half the ingredients to make veganDietary restrictions: Brunch is NOT vegan friendly

Anju is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the District. Please go check them out with there new spring food menu and cocktails! We sat at the bar and had an amazing experience. The shrimp dumplings, chicken soup, and of course bibimbap were as sooo good! Thanks to the whole team for their delivery and hospitality x1000.

As a Korean, I do not recommend this restaurant. I wanted to introduce my new friends to Korean food but it was honestly embarrassing as the kimchi smelled like it was soaked in dirty water. Additionally, the staff were rude and telling us to leave as there was a reservation after us. If this was communicated before being seated at our table we would have went to a different restaurant. The high rating is misleading and I would not recommend wasting your time or money here.

We loved our meal at Anju! Excellent food - I love that they offer both traditional Korean dishes and items with a modern twist. Their fried chicken was phenomenal — and I’m not really a wings person, so you know my endorsement is serious. I would love to try their brunch menu as well, and I will certainly be back for dinner soon.

The ambiance is tight and a bit tacky. Not sure if this is by design. The food was pretty good. We loved the shrimp dumplings and the Korean fried chicken which was like a dinner portion for three. The food didn't meet expectations I placed on basedon reviews. I've had just as good elsewhere.I writing return to try something else.We were greeted with smiles through the entire experience.

The food was great - our service and server were less than great. No dialogue, no interest in us, and the table was filled with items that they weren’t clearing as they brought more dishes and drinks.

Awesome restaurant. The loaded tater tots with kimchi, balgi, and beer cheese were super delicious. Amazing pork dumplings super soft on one side and perfectly crisp on the other. One of the best burgers I’ve had in a while as well. Great coffee and sodas. Highly recommend.Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible from what I saw. Staircase to second floor is quite steep.

They recently added a new brunch menu, which was really good! Portions were large, we shared five dishes between five people and were stuffed. We got the Gilgeori Toast, Hwe Dup Bap, short rib burger, KFC and waffles, and galbi and eggs. All of the dishes were a hit.

We went there to celebrate my wife’s birthday after watching the Netflix show. We were seated promptly our server was pleasant but left us feeling disappointed in this experience. Then Lizete (sorry if misspelled) came to our table and and treated us like celebrities the amazing way we she turned a blah experience into something truly amazing she went as far as to celebrate my wife’s birthday with a delicious mango drink she is a great manager and person

Easily the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Huge portions too! I will be dreaming about the black sesame tres leches cake for the rest of my life so I hope it stays for a long time! The atmosphere and the music they were playing made for a fantastic evening! I can’t wait to come back!
