E-Jo is a Korean restaurant just a few minutes off the strip that specialize in soup and boiled meat. That sounds pretty boring, but trust me it's not! I literally wanted to walk out after seeing the menu but I'm glad I stayed. Soup? That's literally half of their menu. The other half consists of five typical Korean BBQ dishes.
They have a basic beef broth soup and a hangover soup that's spicy. You choose which meats you want in the soup and this gets served with a couple sides and rice. You add your own salt and spice. I read this while waiting to order and rolled my eyes, but I ended up loving this.
They also have a meat platter you can order in small or large that has the boiled meats on them.
Lastly they have a handful of KBBQ dishes like short ribs, chicken, or bulgogi.
This place has two sides: cabbage kimchi and radish kimchi. These two items are amazing. Best kimchi in Vegas. Super flavorful-basically perfect. They also serve these mild chili's with samjeon(sp).
I never thought I'd have Korean food at 8:30am, but E-Jo changed that for me. I came to E-Jo based on their yelp reviews alone. I didn't expect a restaurant to be filled with business men at 8:30am but they actually had a waiting list on the door! At 8:30am
I do give a shout out to the staff: two servers who were just on top of things. They did everything before I could think of it. Extra napkins, always full cups, always more rice, always checking. They cut up the kimchi for us and also explained how to eat the dishes we ordered.
E-Jo is a simple place that does a handful of things very well. Their short ribs were $24.99 and served with rice and ban Chan. Sounds steep compared to an AYCE joint but this was definitely worth the price for it's quality. The food is served very quickly and service is very prompt. The place has very limited parking and is what I would consider a whole in the wall-no frills. I definitely am going to start recommending this place as a unique restaurant.
