legit korean food near somerset 🇰🇷🥟🍜

randomly chanced upon jeong’s jajang while looking for korean food and i’m glad i did!

we showed up on friday night around 9.30pm at around last order, and there was still a short queue to enter.

what we got:

mandus ($13 for 6 pcs) — way bigger than expected?? the meat filling was juicy and honestly super value for money. would recommend ordering this to share (esp if you’re hungry)

seafood sundubu jjigae (~$18) — flavourful and the seafood taste came through nicely. might even be one of the better sundubu jjigae out there

jjajangmyeon (~$19, my friend’s) — i’m not usually a jjajangmyeon person so i tried a bite. but jjajangmyeon enthusiast said its on par with O.Bba’s

verdict: a crowd favourite for a reason. portions are generous, the food is comforting and flavourful, and the prices are reasonable for the quality you get~

would recommend if you’re looking for a cosy korean meal that doesn’t disappoint!

Located at 75 Killiney Road, this eatery often draws crowds even close to closing time, testament to its popularity and quality. The standout mandus are particularly impressive—not only are they larger than what you'd typically expect, but their juicy meat filling really delivers on flavor and satisfaction. Sharing a plate of these dumplings is perfect for groups or if you’re especially hungry. Another must-try is the seafood sundubu jjigae. This Korean soft tofu stew features a rich, well-balanced broth where fresh seafood flavors shine through without overpowering the gentle spiciness. For fans of traditional Korean black bean noodles, Jeong’s jjajangmyeon holds its own and compares favorably to well-known spots like O.Bba’s. The noodle dish offers a comforting, hearty experience with a savory sauce that is neither too sweet nor too salty. From my own experience, visiting on a Friday night still meant waiting in a short queue—even near closing time—which reflects how beloved this place is among locals and visitors alike. The friendly ambiance and reasonable prices make it ideal for anyone seeking a casual yet authentic Korean meal. Whether you’re venturing here for the first time or returning, the generous portions and quality ingredients consistently impress. It’s that kind of place where you leave satisfied, knowing you got good value and genuine flavors in every bite. Overall, Jeong’s Jajang is a great find if you want to enjoy legit Korean food without straying far from the Somerset area. It’s a cozy spot that reliably delivers delicious food, making it perfect for a laid-back dinner with friends or family. Keep in mind that it can get busy during peak hours, so arriving slightly early can save you some wait time. Don’t miss out on the chance to indulge in some heartfelt Korean comfort food right in the city.
