  Above average experience.
  Way better than Namu!
  
  Location: not the most convenient location to find. It's one of those bodega that need some effort to discover but totally worth the time.
  
  We wanted some typical Korean home food. So we found this place. Also it was a recommended spot at some Chinese social media platform.
  
  Place is decently sized, if I remember correctly, it has six tables. One table holds  four people. Place is very quite. We have visited two times already. Both time we go, there weren't many customers (
  I blame the location) but the food always brings surprise and satisfaction.
  
  We have tried:
  Fried squid: not good, very doughy
  
  Fried chicken: very nicely fried, sweet and sour and spicy sauce, almost like spicy tomato jam, very additive ( order both times) recommend!!!
  
  Noddle with black soy bean paste: average, a little blend for me.
  
  Cold noodle: Amazing!!!!! Very refreshing, good portion for one person, comes with pickled veggies. Delicious!!! Love love love
  
  Bibimbap with hot stone pot: fresh ingredients, my friend liked it a lot, but he said hot sauce is too liquidy, but it's wasn't a big issue.
  
  Seafood pancake: so crispy, so good. It is also a good portion too. We had take some home lol
  
  Decoration: adorable chalk art surround whole dining area. Super artsy and cute. Love drunk pikachu lol.
  
  Most importantly this place is very homey and great for comfort meal after a raining day. Definitely deserve more customers. Good luck to them and hope I would visit again.
  
  Thanks

  This is the great value korean place at our neighbourhood, so we will just swingby to have our dinner at affordable price compare to other korean restaurants.
  As usual we ordered seafood pancake, they make it thicker crispy at the edge. Which is suit our taste bud, and portion is good too. Just we wish there is more seafood added in .
  
  My usual order on the seafood tofu soup, that is my favorite and must order for any korean restaurants. They made slightly oily but the spicy level is just great. Very authentic i assume.
  
  The pork over rice is slightly sweet with the sauce. We are not big fans of heavy sauce, it would be great if the sauce is served on the side. Might not order this again.
  
  Next we would try their hot pot. Maybe winter when the weather is slightly cooler.

  Bottom Line: The hostess was nice, main dishes were yummy, prices are okay, but restaurant is very dirty. Granted, I've only been to Korea twice, but this was not exactly the experience we were hoping for.
  I will not be eating here again.
  
  We stopped by on a weekday evening as we were in the area and had a craving for Korean food. There was no wait, and if you're eating in, you can seat yourselves and the hostess will bring you your menus.
  - The prices were okay, but for the types of foods they offer, mostly comfort foods, or things you'd find on a food truck in my opinion, I wouldn't say it was particularly cheap.
  -The dishes we ordered were the fried omelette and pork katsu. Yummy but not particularly awe inspiring and both looked like something a person could make at home. We also had mochi ice cream for dessert. It was very obvious it was incredibly old as the soft rice shell on the outside crumbled instead of having its usual a chewy texture.
  - My biggest and primary issue with this restaurant is how dirty it is. I made the mistake of going to the restroom before eating and couldn't help but notice all of the grime and filth on the floor and along the baseboards from the eating area all the way through the hallway to the bathroom. There was an oscillating fan in the bathroom which was unsettling because it's really just blowing all of the bacteria from other people onto you while you're in there. When I sat down I noticed my shoes were making a scraping noise as they rubbed against the dirtiness of the floor. It was all I could think about while we were eating and it really bothered me.

  Minji's is a nice little spot to get authentic Korean food. It's a cozy restaurant with a friendly staff that greats you as you enter. Great Mom and Pop restaurant in the corner of the shopping plaza. It's got a laid back, casual ambience like a friendly neighborhood restaurant should.
  
  The food was pretty good and we weren't waiting long at all. I had the Fried Rice Omelette with beef which is a great choice if you want something that's filling but doesn't feel too heavy. The ramen is pretty good as well. Overall the meals were inexpensive and everyone left feeling satisfied.  
  
  Parking is pretty open as it's located in the right hand corner of the shopping plaza. It has a small sign to keep your eyes open for but there are always the neon signs to make sure you don't miss it. Business hours are usually from 5pm to 10pm. If you are in the area, give it a try!

  Stopped by to enjoy some lunch before heading home. As I walked in, I could feel the authenticity of the cafe.
  
  A small TV upfront was showing Korean shows.  
  
  I ordered the seafood soup. It was spicy but I enjoyed it.
