Jang Guem

Tucked in near a corner next to Hmart, Jang Geum Tofu has been around for years in Chinatown serving homey Korean food.

I remember frequenting this restaurant in the past with my family WAY back to when they had grilled mackerel, or whatever fish it was, as a side dish and when there were not that many Korean restaurants. I remember coming here and loving their kimchi tofu soup and side dishes. However, we started trying new places as newer Korean restautants and Kbbq places popped up and came less.

After trying new places for some time, I decided to come back. So much has changed in these past few years, but the food has remained consistent for the most part.

I ordered the combination (C1), which came with galbi and a tofu soup. For the soup, I chose the kimchi jigae tofu soup (T6). I also ordered the hot stone bibimbap with bulgogi.

The side dishes were good, with the mashed potatoes being my favorite. It was pretty well portioned, and I even had enough to share with my partner. The soup also came out boiling, and I love cracking the egg into the soup. The tofu soup is still good, and I think it is my favorite kimchi tofu soup in Houston. The galbi was okay and was very fatty with a lackluster flavor. The quality of the meat has not changed even after all these years.

The bulgogi bibimbap was pretty standard and was pretty good.

Overall, I think what you get for the prices of the meals are a lot and worth it. If I had to recommend one dish, it would be the kimchi jigae soup for sure! They also have a variety of options and combinations, as well.

As a Korean American, I love to order Korean foods when I travel in diffrent cities. I got delivered by UberEats. Portions were great and both menus were yummy. I couldn't believe how much I paid for these foods after using 40% promotion code. What a nice place to enjoy authentic Korean food.

Nice location. Holiday atmosphere with the screen display and Christmas music.
Bibimbob sauce was watered-down with siracha sauce. Kimchi fried rice doesn't taste like the authentic Korean dish at all but bulgogi was tasty.

This is some of the tastiest Korean food i’ve ever had. Easily the best Korean food in Houston for overall value. The restaurant itself doesn’t offer much ambiance or atmosphere, but the food will keep me coming back. The owners seem like they are always bickering at each other in Korean, in front of patrons in the restaurant, I kind of find it amusing.
