An Absolute Gem on South University—Taste, Heart, and Total Comfort If you are looking for a meal that wraps around you like a warm hug, Rich JC is the place. Tucked away right on South U, this unassuming spot is a masterclass in what happens when food is made with genuine soul, care, and tradition. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted by an atmosphere that feels entirely unpretentious and deeply comforting. It doesn’t try to be trendy or over-designed; instead, it offers that rare, authentic homey vibe where you instantly feel like family. It’s cozy, unhurried, and filled with the mouthwatering, savory aromas that make your stomach rumble the second you cross the threshold. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. You can taste the homemade love and patience poured into every single dish. Whether you're digging into a sizzling, perfectly-crusted dolsot bibimbap, slurping down a deeply comforting, piping-hot bowl of stew, or enjoying their rich, tender bulgogi, the flavor profiles are deeply comforting, balanced, and profoundly satisfying. Every bite tastes like a Sunday dinner cooked by someone who cares about your well-being. Rich JC is more than just a rest

I've never left a review in my life but rich JC is by far one of the best restaurants in Ann Arbor. It has a quiet atmosphere, amazing food quality, and very kind staff. The prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes. Its a must have if you enjoy Korean food. I have dined in over 100 times and I've never had a bad experience. The restaurant is small and will get filled up at peak times so plan ahead.

Friendly host, great restaurant. However the Kimchi Jigae does not have a lot of beef like I requested. The host is very nice tho! Superb service and very delicious food!

I had the worst restaurant experience here. My friend and I (both black) came in at the exact same time as a Asian couple. After sitting, they were immediately greeted and given water. After about 5 minutes they were given banchan and had their order taken. At this point, the 3 workers had seen us sitting there but we still had not been greeted or given water. The restaurant is set up like a bar so the not seeing us excuse doesn't work here. It reaches the 10 minute mark, and everyone in the restaurant has been helped but us. A few minutes later, the couple we walked in with gets their entrees. After dropping their food off, the older worker finally comes up to us and says "are you picking up a takeout order"? We had our coats off, we had been sitting there for over 10 mins, and she made eye contact with us MULTIPLE times. I say no, we're dining in. She then looks annoyed and asked "what do you want to order then?". I asked if we can get water first, and that annoyed her even more. Fast-forward, I get my food and it wasn't good. I asked if I could switch to another dish and she said "no we close soon". Which is weird because when I looked up their closing time, it wasn't for anothe

Pretty small and cute restaurant with seating only at the bar. The Duk Gochi with teriyaki sauce was yummy. Didn't know fried rice cakes could taste so good! We also enjoyed the fried Beef Mandu as well. I thought the Kim Bop with beef lacked a bit flavor, but was wrapped very well.
