Eden Korean Restaurant Cherry Hill

The food was absolutely amazing! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly! We will definitely be returning!

This place is a decent place with better food than a lot of other Korean restaurants out there. The prices may be high but it is definitely worth it for the food that you taste. In my opinion it is pretty good, and tastes similar to the food in Korea. The side dishes are decent as well which I like. A previous review stated that they did not serve "authentic Korean food" apparently which I became curious into why that was. Kimchi is made in the back and I believe that it was not expired and marinated normally. Though it may not be the best Kimchi I tasted, it was not expired I assure you. I was greeted in Korean by the owner and spoke to them in Korean to order my foods and they were very nice to me about it. My friend and I had ordered the Rabokki and Kimbap. Unlike H-mart's kimbap and kimbap of other places, the meat on this kimbap tasted somewhat better than other places. It did not taste too dry and the kimbap pieces were big which were nice. The Rabokki was alright as well, I would order it again if I was passing by. Overall the food was a solid 7/10. Not the best, not the worst but definitely a go to spot for Korean food despite a few previous reviews. Furthermore, to address the previous "authenticity" remarks on this place. The use of the word authenticity can be different for everyone. How this place does their food may be different from other Korean restaurants in ways they marinate their kimchi to how they do their soups and food. Authenticity is a word in which people have a limited scope on. There had been an exploratory study on developing Korean Food by various different Korean sources on food. Different families prepare their food different like producing various dishes with different textures. This restaurant probably used some herbs and spices that are different than what is in Korea to translate their home kitchen foods into American restaurants using a few different ingredients maybe to try their best to taste the same. They could also be possibly using different types of recipes on these foods because not all Korean foods are cooked the same. Some herbs and spices are altered based on one's preferences or one's family preferences. The diversity of fermented seafood sources and marinade adds specific characteristics to each dish which can differ from one another. For example, if you were to compare McDonald's fries to Burger King's fries, they are different. Still they both incorporate the same ingredients like potatoes, and salt but they are cooked different with different sizes to them. This goes the same for foods like Korean foods. One review stated that Koreans should not come here, but I must defend this place. This place is not just for American people but for all people including Koreans here. 모두 환영합니다. 정말 고마워!
