Reviews for Ahri's Kitchen in Jersey City, NJ

Amazing fried dumplings, bibimbap, shrimp tempura and fried chicken!! Their dipping sauce was out of this world as well!!

The food was good, fresh, and tasted delicious. After living in Korea for 6+ years and my partner being born and raised there,... the standard was pretty high, but we really enjoyed it. They definitely delivered in that aspect. However, the service wasdefinitely lacking. Whereas they were kind and respectful when speaking to us, it was while we were eating or waiting for foodthat was slightly annoying. We never received individual plates for our starters and no server came to our table after we satdown, so we had to go up to order. The two teenagers working there were loud, disruptive and wouldn?t let a single song play formore than 30 seconds without changing it. I caught myself humming or singing quietly to a song just for it to be cut offabruptly at least six or seven times. They definitely killed any good vibes that were being created by the awesome decor andgreat location. Maybe hire two workers who aren?t going to flirt and be loud so they don?t disrupt the people trying to eat andenjoy their lunch. At the end of the day, they?re not there for fun, they?re there for work. Thankfully the food more than madeup for it. Will definitely be back, but we expect either new servers or better service from the current ones. Read more

I am literally eating as I write this. I ordered japchae, kimchi (12 oz), bibimbop vegetables & bulgogi and oh my... goodness...INCREDIBLE. The kimchi is the best kimchi I have ever had!!! And it was put in a glass container although I doubt itwill last very long since I will gobble it up. Even the side veggies were so neatly put in the container and I am just so happyand impressed. Hands down a MUST to try Ahri's Kitchen. Wow incredible Read more

Good local Korean restaurant with a small but sufficient menu. We ordered BBQ and bibimbap and both were tasty. The owner shared... a good story of their family from Korea and old pictures on the wall. I would come back for a quick bite. Read more

A "hole-in-the-wall" place! Unlike many Korean restaurants, where they tend to overuse the spices to a point they overpower the... natural taste of key ingredients, the food here appears to reach a good balance among all ingredients, including the spices.This was the case for the ones we tried. The seaweed roll (beef) tasted just like how my mom used to make them -- my mom was anexcellent cook. The kimchi fried rice with pork was really a surprise to me -- how mildly kimchi was infused for soft but reallytasty treat, not overpowering the whole thing. The homemade dumpling was good in analogously balanced manner. The sauces thatcame made it even better - the peanut infused (?), low salty soy sauce for the dumpling and the seaweed roll, and the mildlyspicy mayo that went well with all three items. Compliments to the chef who appears to have keenly developed sense of taste andcraftsmanship! Read more

Would have been 5 stars but for $3 extra I would?ve expected more meat than this. The bulgogi is mixed into the rice in... minuscule shreds. However the taste is amazing and the owner is very nice! I would get the kimchi bowl again but without addingon meat since it really doesn?t add to the meal much Read more

The staff was amazing and very attentive. With that said I am solely basing my experience on the food and the food alone. The... vegetable dumplings were very bland and the accompanying sesame sauce was also flavorless. I also ordered the Kimbap. Both itemsare pricey for the lack of flavor (also presentation of rolls) they served my items with a side of kimchi which was VERYflavorless. Judging by the look and feel Of the restaurant the owners must be a hipster with very basic knowledge of Koreanfood. Read more

Good authentic Korean food in the middle of Hamilton Park. Bulgogi dupbop and Bulgogi bibimbap were both good. The kimchi fries... were a miss for me but I can see people liking it. Read more
