U Chun

Every time I visit, the food is consistently clean, flavorful, and satisfying. The couple who run the counter are always so kind and welcoming. it really adds to the experience. No matter how many times I eat here, I never get tired of it. This place has that rare combination of great taste, warm service, and reliability. A true favorite

U-Chun is one of a few food stalls located within the H-mart Korean supermarket in the Little Ferry plaza. This is my husband's go-to spot, and it's easy to see why. Each of the stalls kind of have their own niche, and U-Chun firmly occupies the soup and stew sector of Asian/Korean food. Most of their menu options are served on a hot plate or stone bowl, which is meant to keep your food hot and bubbly as you feverishly blow on and consume your meal.

Placing an order is a cinch, even for non-Koreans who can ask for menu items by number. Hang onto your receipt afterwards because it'll have your order number. An automated voice will helpfully announce ready orders (by restaurant name and order number) over the loudspeaker so you don't have to hover in the immediate vicinity.

Given the number of items on their menu and how limited their space is, it's impressive they can turn out items as well and as quickly as they do. So far, we've tried the bulgogi bibimbap, with is topped with a sweet soy marinated meat and meant to be mixed with veggies and an optional gochujang sauce serving. It's decent, though I have a pet peeve about hot stone bibimbaps that don't achieve the crunchy burnt rice bottom. I liked far better the spicy chicken stew, which is chock full of tender braised chicken and tender potatoes in a fiery stew. It's intensely flavorful and sure to clear up any sinus issues in a few bites.

After shopping at the H-Mart. I decided to stop at U chun for some food before I went home. I'll keep it short and simple. If I could have that bulgogi dish everyday I really would. Plenty of places to sit and the staff were friendly and accommodating. They have many dishes to choose from. I will definitely try one of the noodles dishes on my next stop.

Great food, best cold noodles and side dishes, over all superb value! The bibimbap is also outstanding. I love the little touches like the flask of beef broth that is provided at every table. Service is efficient even when the restaurant is very busy. Decor is clean and tables are well spaced. Very highly recommended!
