I know what you are thinking, if you loved the food & service why rate 4 star? This is meant to be positive criticism and help the business improve because we wanted to stay.

Vibe: Nice little mom&pop Korean restaurant. I feel like they have a real opportunity to renovate and update most all of the interior.  Some things I understand not being able to change (like the electrical being outside of the walls). Other things would be easy to replace and improve the overall experience drastically (From peeling foam molding to sticker wall paper). In sorry, there is a lot of opportunity to upgrade the dining area and bathroom.

Service: Fabulous due to The waitress also being what we perceive to be the owner. She was a sweet lady You seem to know a lot of the regulars that came in (which were all Korean, meaning it's a sign of authenticity). She was quick, courteous and helpful.

Food: Excellent and more authentic than what we have previously experienced in Alaska. There were still a few fusion dishes, but most dishes were very traditional! Because this was the first time we ate here, I feel like we will have to eat here a few more times to truly get a grasp of a variety of dishes.

Mediocre food, dishonest business practices, wish I could give 1.5 stars instead of 2.

We tried wonjo Korean “cuisine” for the first time on Sunday 9/15/24 based on the google reviews. We deeply regret this decision. My partner woke up Monday morning with a severe belly ache that had to be treated with pepto bismol. The food was a solid “meh” when I was expecting spectacular for the price.

Speaking of price, based on the online menu accessed on 9/15 to order and 9/16/24 to write this review, our order of 1 doenjangjigae (18.99) 1 dolsot bibimbap (22.99) and 1 pork bulgogi (24.99) should have been $67. Plus a 20% tip would have brought the total to $80.40. Please see the last photo where we were charged $81.97 WITHOUT tip!

After I called in our to-go order the lady (owner) said please give us 20min. Fine, reasonable, and sounded quick. I arrive 25min later, and not only was there no parking (so I had to park at brown jug next door), I had to wait 10min to even be acknowledged. The other tables stared at me like I was a nuisance while I waited. Then when I was told my total, I asked “wait, I was expecting it to be $67” she smirked and said “online prices are from 15 years ago, this is the price today. We have to scan your card NOW, it’s [the credit card machine] beeping at me.” Please note that the online menu was updated in September 2021 NOT 15 years ago. I do not appreciate the dishonesty, lies, shady business practices, and mediocre food that causes GI distress. There was nothing crispy about the hot-bibimbap but that’s my fault, you can’t exactly to-go a dolsot. But I sure was charged for it.

In summary, not glad I tried this place and won’t be going back. They were busy enough without my patronage. If anyone has a better Korean place to suggest, I’m all ears/eyes. Thanks for reading about my experience :)

Had one of our best Korean cuisine here. It’s really authentic. From all the small starters. To the main dish. So comforting after a long hike found this place, the dinning experience was one of the kind. Perfect choice for cold weather

Every time I have been to Wonjo it has been a great experience. The food is amazing and authentic, I've literally never had a bad dish here. The service is great, it's a mom and pop place and every single time I believe the owner was our waitress. She is so funny, so personable, and great. One of my favorite spots in Anchorage to support.

This was my first time eating  Korean food and Serena  was so good at guiding me. I tried the Beef ribs and they were to die for!!  So many different types of veggies came with the meal!  I will definitely come back and try something different next time! Highly recommend this Korean restaurant. They are very attentive and friendly. If you have never before had Korean food, then this is an excellent place to start! !
