Joen Korean Restaurant — Restaurant in Tuckahoe

Update: changed from 1 star to 3.

June 15. I tried their Bibimbap, seafood pancake and stir fried squids. These three are much better than my last. Ordered two items. First one, cod roe soup, technically it is Pollock roe, the flavor is soup then bland Pollock roe, nothing special about it. not recommended for almost 20 lol. If you want to make it at home, go buy the frozen Pollock roe and a Korean beef stock and make it at home.

Second order, I ordered a beef Bibimbap but got a beef bulgogi. That is fine, but the taste... ugh, this dish has so much added artificial beef seasoning, so frigging sweet and bland at the same time. If you want to improve the flavor, lower the beef seasoning and add more salt.

I will try their Bibimbap next time and see. I do not...

The food was just Meh!! Let me start by saying I am not Korean, don’t know Korean language but have been to Korea. In my visits to Korea, I have had wonderful, flavorful and amazing spicy food. When I ordered the spicy Soft Tofu stew with sea food, I asked several times how the stew was made. The cashier did not know or did not want to talk to me in English. He plopped a frozen seafood packet with Shrimp, mussels and other items. I should not have ordered but I made the mistake of taking the chance thinking, how bad could it be. I was excited and eagerly waited for 20 mins. The stew was just unseasoned, boiled frozen seafood with no shrimp or mussels in a red colored broth with no seasoning, no spicy and just plain red colored sewage water. Not again will I visit...

These guys won't be open long.If the quality of their kimchi pancake is any indicator. They are located in a wonderful food court full of asian fare in Richmond, where we've been deprived of such for so long. I only ordered a kimchi pancake. It's all I wanted. I'm going on a restricted diet after this. The kimchi pancake to go was both burned to a crispy on the outside and still slimy and completely uncooked in the middle. My best friend and housemate is korean although I am not, i've had so many kimchi pancakes over the course of my lifetime, and I have to say this is absolutely the worst one ever. I got one from blote market itself for half the price and it was still warm. I wish I had saved myself the trouble Don't order from this restaurant. That is some good...
