Ann Arbor restaurant serving delicious Korean food, but run by absolutely filthy lowlifes that give absolute zero f’s about law and ethics. DO NOT TIP if you eat here because tips do not go to workers (they are paid a “higher than average” flat-rate hourly wage of $18 in exchange of having their tips ROBBED). Of course, payments to workers come in the form of cash checks to avoid taxes. Owner lady regularly belittles workers in front of customers dining, touches them harshly, sometimes scratches them so hard that they bleed, makes workers cough up 10% of the value of every paper receipt they lose/have them dig through food waste to find the receipt (all because the owner simply refuses to change the outdated 1990s credit card machine into a newer one that digitally records transactions), forces workers to pray before free meals, acts incredibly snarky when workers fail to show up at least ten minutes early to shifts, all under the name of “Rich JESUS CHRIST.” Talked to multiple Korean American girls lured in due to the higher hourly wage compared to other Ann Arbor restaurants, but left absolutely traumatized and distraught after having all or most of their worker’s’ rights trampled on. Dear Rich JC’s owners, you are a disgrace to Christianity and the symbol of everything wrong with the church. With all due respect, go to hell. Prices here are also a scam— what costs maybe $7-9 in South Korea costs $15-21 here, not including tips. For those of you interested in Korean food just as good, go to Kang’s that is more spacious and around a...
Read moreGiven the high reviews, I was really excited to try out this place. The waitress who greeted us was really nice, gave us seats in the middle which has enough space apart from other customers. However, the owner came and blamed the young waitress for her choice in seating arrangements, so we have to move near the corner which is only one seat away from the other customers. You know what is most outrageous?! After we sat down, the owner came up to us again, pointed her finger to the side, and asked us to move over one more seat which is directly right next to the other customers, the distance is even less than 1 inch!! This made us felt very uncomfortable especially she talked in a very rude way. I know this place is tiny, but there are several empty seats in between and not many people came to eat. I don’t understand why this owner treats customers like this. Maybe we are students?? or maybe we are not Korean?? And the food is mediocre compare to other Korean restaurants I went to. I recommend Kang’s next to this place. Better food,...
Read moreI recently moved to Illinois from Cali and have been craving authentic korean food ever since! I got the soondoobu jiggae & spicy pork stir fry togo and they both were delicious! Despite the busy lunch hours, our food only took roughly about 10 minutes! The food was piping hot & fresh and so comforting. And to top it all off, their customer service & atmosphere was one of the best yet! As soon as I walked in the restaurant, I felt such a cozy & welcoming presence. It seemed to be a family owned restaurant and the workers were all extremely friendly! Definitely checking this place out after a long day for some of the best heart warming korean food! Especially good for solo dining, the dining seats are like a bar set up so no burden eating alone (& ofc eating in...
