Ahjoomah's Apron Korean Restaurant — clean, consistent korean in Chinatown. Clean, design-forward interior throughout. The cooking is rooted in real tradition. Easy on the wallet. "The tofu bibimbap was tasty, and the cod soup was nice and lightly spicy, perfect for a cold day" — Anatasia Pham [$$]

“The only thing that I didn't like was the music it was very explicit and I had my son and 2 of my grand babies and that was very inappropriate.”

“We came here with a party of seven and we all fit in one of their long tables. We ordered food and it all came in under 15 minutes. Food was delicious, service was quick, great experience overall. Would highly recommend because of their abundance in options and good seasoned food. Servings are worth the price, you get what you pay for. They even give you complimentary side dishes which were really good.”
