   We asked for vegetarian versions of a popular dish. We were served a bowl with beef and tofu, NOT vegetarian. The beer list was fine, but not great. The food was hearty, tasty but not special. The best part were the miso soup and the little garnish dishes. Unfortunately, the garnish dishes were served before the blander main dish and removed when we were served our main dish - which would have been a great background for the spicy tastes.

   Took my husband there for dinner since he recently got a raise. He got one of there soups and loved it. I got biobimbap with the beef and it was excellent. I recommend this place for a date or group of people

   Staff was very friendly and food came out quickly and in satisfying, tasty portions. Was disappointed that my first choice for entree was unavailable, but what I ended up getting (spicy pork and squid) ended up being delicious, so it all worked out in the end.

   Decided to try this restaurant for New Years. Never again... the prices are insane for the portions that you get and the food isn’t really even authentic Korean... very disappointed I can’t say we will ever return.

   Food is decent, albeit slightly “Americanized” Korean, for the value. Staff is well intentioned but clueless about food and service. Seems like they are catering to the local college crowd. Don’t bother if you’re a local foodie.

   Great and diverse neighborhood restaurant! The food was delicious, our party (of 6) had a great time. Service was good on a busy night.

   We had a concert so we all had the bim bim bap and it came with miso soup. It was delicious.

    Most Korean food is a lot of garlic and a lot of chili's which drown out the food. Meju strikes a balance that allows each element to shine through. The cocktails are surprisingly good and very refreshing. Service was attentive, but not hovering.
