Hey all! It's been quite a while since I logged on here. I forgot how entertaining it is!
It took a while, but we are open. Here's a summary of what we are: Your neighborhood authentic Korean food spot, for takeout and dining in. Delivery will be starting the 1st week of May, using the jersey city based fastboydelivery. And, bring your own beer or wine. Kalbi and kim chi go particularly well with a frosty beer. So check out our website for more info, or tweet us with any questions. Hope to see you soon!

Stopped by here the day of the 'blizzard', just to check it out. The interior is awesomely decorated! People seemed to be enjoying their food, and it was warm and cozy. Will be back to try out the food.

The construction permit situation has caused a delay. No one is more anxious to get started than we are. Quote:

You're right, they were there as well! I didn't have a chance to have their food, but I heard it was very good. Quote:
Thanks all for coming out to JC Project Market. We had a blast, the turnout was awesome, and our food was well received. We are really anxious to get started, but it is out of our hands at this point. Although we entered 'obtaining permits' in the 'Project hurdles' section of our Kickstarter, we were hoping to be the exception to the 'construction permit rule'; alas, this is not the case. I will check and update this thread with any significant updates; thanks for your patience!

I would suggest getting at least 3 quotes and proposals. If in need, I know a great interior designer that has done multiple commercial and residential spaces in Jersey City, all for a verrry reasonable price (relatively).
If you have trouble coming up with your 3rd proposal, just PM me and I will shoot you the contact information.

Thanks for the info, I went to Moe's yesterday and picked his brain. He told me basically what you told me, but that the bigger 15-20 pound stripers may not be out for a week or two. We scoped out the area yesterday, there seem to be a lot of 'no fishing' signs along the waterfront until you get out to the tip of exchange place. It was incredibly loud out there; a pretty lackluster car show had 50,000 watts of pop music on blast for an hour or two. Hopefully its not like that most weekends.

Ohhh, sorry you made the walk for a closed store. Yes, 12/14 is when we anticipate opening! We have put in for permits and that is the longest part in the entire process. We hope to be open on time, fingers crossed. The Korean stews are even more delicious in the winter.

As of right now, we are including kimchi with the entrees and a small soup with the kimbab (hand rolls). Ok Asif, included in the possibles is tteokbokki, our favorite street food in Seoul. I was just there this past fall; even in a city of 10 million people, it seemed there were enough tteokbokki stands to feed them all...

The romanization is up now, so that should help. As far as dishes not on the menu currently... if we find there is enough demand, we will surely incorporate them into our menu, seasonally, in the future. Informal polls show that jap chae, nengmyun, mandu are reasonable suspects.

Good catch! Thanks, it was originally once a month for 2 people, forever, but Kickstarter does not allow lifetime rewards. It is now 2 people, once a week, for 5 years.

??wut why?? http://www.pizzatoday.com/departments ... la-minneapolis-mn-page-2/ This Korean-American pizzaiola studied with Tony Gemignani and also studied in Naples for her craft, and got voted best independent pizzeria in the country by consensus, this year. She has neapolitan, New York-Neapolitan, and New York pizza covered. If the pizza at Stella's is not good (it's inconsistent, let's say, at best), its unlikely to have much to do with the ethnicity of the owner. Or have I lost my mind??

Thank you for your support! Even going to great lengths just to make accounts, we feel even more strongly that there is a real demand for authentic, good Korean food. As far as a 2x2 option is concerned, yes, we can work that out!

That would be awesome! We're using Kickstarter as a way to get the word out, as well! We only have word of mouth, other places are getting press in the village voice and JC magazine! Hopefully the food will speak for itself. Nothing in the immediate area comes to mind. Cho Dang Gol, a few blocks north of Ktown in Manhattan, is hands down the best for anything tofu related. Although the BCD formula works for a reason, Cho Dang Gol's handmade tofu keeps it packed with people who actually know Korean food, and are lucky enough to have stumbled upon it. Han Bat on 35th used to be my go to spot for sul long tang, a bone marrow broth with brisket. The quality fell off a while ago, but I still go on occasion. I can't recommend anything else there. For really nuts Korean bbq, even more than Palisades park and Edison, the Murray Hill section in Queens is tip-top. Mapo BBQ. This past summer I went to the original Mapo in Seoul, and the one in Queens is topnotch. I know that's not what you want to hear, so for bbq I'll hit up So Moon Nan Jip in Pal park, or Kum Gang San for laaarge parties in Manhattan. I get enough of it at home, but whenever I'm in one of these areas those are the restaurants I'll hit up.

That's great! We plan on selling homemade jars of kimchi for you to take home. Our kickstarter is all approved, and we plan on debuting it on 9/1. I hope some of you will contribute; I think the rewards pay for themselves!

Mama mia, another one... Yes, the margins on pizza and pasta are astronomical; restaurants attempt a 25-33% food cost. A pizzeria can, with ultimate efficiency, reach closer to 16%.

Initially we don't plan on it. Man, but since I read your post I really want some Jajangmyun right now... In the beginning we will keep it manageable, in terms of the number of dishes; we want to make sure we excel in our menu. We will consider branching out after becoming more established.
