Our experience was mixed. We enjoyed the spam kimbap, and I liked the kimchi pancake with seafood. The kimchi fried rice was ok, but nothing special. I've had better elsewhere. However, the bibimbap was awful. I usually love bibimbap, but theirs had no flavor.

To call your food garbage would be an affront to piles of garbage…the only thing authentic was the correct spelling of the word “Korean”…close and do something

The food was very tasty and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend the cheese pork cutlet and spicy pork rice bowl!

Was super excited to go here. Ordered family pack, bulgogi, japchae, and spicy pork. Super disappointed. The spicy pork was liquidity and not spicy. The bulgogi was ground beef. I feel cheated. The japchae lacked shitake mushrooms. I won't be back. I feel insulted as a Korean when eating this food. Ended up feeding the ground beef bulgogi to my dog. He got sick and puked all over.

Great food! Authentic and not too salty!

I'm sorry to have to leave this review.The bibimbap was bland. The ground meat literally had no flavor, and the blanched veggies weren't seasoned. The mushroom had a flavor all its own. The rice was soggy. The whole thing did not come together, and I couldn't even tell what I was eating. It was literally the worst Korean food I have ever tasted. But hey, it might be great for my blood pressure. If you're hypertensive, you've found your place.Alright, now let's move on to the boneless wings, or shall I say "spicy fried breading."It's more breading than meat. I guess I should just forget what ethnic food actually tastes like. This resembles more like grocery store-bought Tyson frozen fried chicken crumbs, you know, the little ones you find at the bottom of the bag. The ones where you're not sure if there's any chicken in them, but you're hungry enough, so you throw them in the oven anyway. And let's not forget about the sauce. What the hell was it? It definitely wasn't spicy. I can't even find words to describe it. Eating those fried breading bits tossed in that sauce was like trying to feel a fragment of happiness (or sadness, if that's your thing) while being on antidepressants. I can't even remember what it tasted like, but I'm still angry about it. Look, I'm not mad at anyone; I'm just mad at the sauce. It's personal.So, there you have it. You may think I'm making this up, but sadly, I am not, and I'm not even done yet. Let's talk about the boba tea. It came in a cup that was only filled two-thirds of the way. I'm not sure what measures up to 20 ounces, so let's just say they ordered the wrong cup size or didn't know how to size up to-go plastic cups. Either way, I included a photo for you to be the judge.Anyways, I do not rec...Wait, I almost forgot to mention the boba. Yes, it was not fresh. It wasn't soft or chewy, and the drink was likely just a powder mix. Love yourself and don't order from this place.However, it did give off a certain home-cooked meal vibe, the kind that was cooked with love. There you go. I said something positive to prove that I am not an complete a-hole.

Just finished eating a bowl of bibimbap- then tried to eat some from of my son’s bowl! It was delicious! Large portions, fresh and great flavor.We also had the katsu- this was a winner too, the melted cheese was a great touch. I’ll be back- highly recommended( sorry no photo- we ate it too fast)

Satisfying, flavorful dishes and great value here! My husband and I both ordered vegetarian bibimbap. I requested some tofu added to mine and they generously heaped a big helping of crispy, chewy tofu on top. The rice was perfectly cooked with quality veggies. The japchae side we ordered was a good-sized portion, in fact some of the best tasting japchae we've ever had. We ordered delivery this time, but I bet it's even better eaten on site. Looking forward to visiting the restaurant soon!

Ordered their kimchi jjigae with pork belly and tofu (take out), and I was very happy with it! Reminds me of home. Portions were great and very flavorful. I will be ordering again to try more.

Had some tonight through delivery. I unfortunately scoured the bowls I ordered rather quickly so that they didn't make it to photos. I got the chicken bowl and the tofu bowl. Both were super tasty and fresh! I enjoyed the flavors overall especially with the mix of jap chae and rice in the tofu bowl. Definitely great comfort food for a rainy evening! I wouldn't have minded a bit more spice and perhaps a few more vegetables, but that's more of an extra "icing on the cake" request. I would happily order from here again.

Wow! Delicious food and great portion size! I got the Bibimbap which was packed with freshly cooked rice, flavorful meat, yummy veggies, and a perfectly fried egg. I highly recommend JD Brothers. Thank you!I've also ordered the Hungry Meat Bowl, which was so good I couldn't wait to take a picture!

So good! I had bibimbap and glass noodles. Everything was fresh and delicious. The kimchee is some of the best I've had, and the portions are more than enough to fill you up. I will definitely be getting JD Brothers again.
