" Anju is an absolute gem! As someone who has spent time in Korea, I find their offerings to be impressively authentic. Each dish I’ve tried has highlighted traditional flavors wonderfully. The fried chicken is a must-order, and the bibimbap is the best I’ve had outside of Seoul. The chefs clearly take pride in their work, and it shows in the quality of the ingredients. The ambiance is lively and fun, making it perfect for gatherings. I’ve visited several times now, and each experience has been consistent and satisfying. Anju has earned my seal of approval.

" I am a frequent diner at Anju, and every time I go, I walk away impressed! The variety on the menu keeps bringing me back, and I've had everything from their soft-shell crab to the fried chicken, which is totally iconic. Service is usually prompt, making it easy to come here before catching a show. I recommend arriving early, especially on weekends, as it fills up fast. Overall, Anju is consistently delivering great food and service. I can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a birthday celebration at Anju, and I cannot imagine a better venue! Everything was fantastic, from the decor to food. The mandu was a huge hit! We had various main dishes, including the bibimbap and kalbi, both of which were phenomenal. The former was particularly flavorful, reminding me of meals back home. The service was attentive, and we had no hiccups throughout our meal. Definitely coming back soon; Anju is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard a lot of great things about Anju and decided to check it out for brunch. The ambiance was fun, with vibrant decor and a casual vibe. I ordered the French toast, which was impressive; it had a creative twist that I couldn’t resist! The kalbi was delicious too, very tender and flavorful. However, there was a slight delay in service, but our waiter was apologetic and attentive throughout. The portions were generous, and it felt like a great deal for what we received. Overall, a solid brunch experience that lived up to the hype. Can’t wait to bring my friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stepping into Anju was like embarking on a culinary adventure, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately sets the right mood for a meal. We sampled the half chikin and mandu, both of which were bursting with flavor and presented beautifully. The kimchi had the perfect balance of fermentation and spice, and the dolsot bibimbap was a hearty dish that left us satisfied without being overly stuffed. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations and checking in on us just the right amount. One of the highlights was definitely the take on traditional Korean fried chicken, which was perfectly crispy. Overall, I’d give Anju a solid 5 out of 5 and would recommend it for anyone craving authentic Korean food. I can't wait to return and try their brunch next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my visit to Anju, I felt the food could have been a notch better for the price. The dumplings were tasty, but I found some of the main dishes a bit on the salty side. I understand that Korean cuisine can be rich, but moderation is key. The ambiance is pleasant, and service was generally good, with friendly staff. I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a unique Korean dining experience. Just be prepared for some dishes to potentially be a bit heavy! " (*Curated Review*)

" After all the buzz surrounding Anju, I was eager to try it myself. I must say, I left utterly satisfied! The food was bursting with flavors and the presentation was top-notch. We sampled a variety of dishes, from the dumplings to the spicy ramyeon and everything was delicious! Our server was friendly and made great drink recommendations. I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the prices are, especially given the high quality. Anju has made it to my favorites list, and I plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)
