What We Know About Dubu Hana in Jersey City<\/p>\n

Per Jersey Digs<\/a>, a new Korean-inspired concept called Dubu Hana is headed to Downtown Jersey City. In the publication\u2019s report, it states, \u201cDuring their May 19 meeting, Jersey City\u2019s Alcoholic Beverage Control heard an application to transfer a liquor license inside the ground floor of the TelCo Lofts at 8 Erie Street.\u201d<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

The address immediately caught our attention, as the space was previously home to The Boil restaurant. The Hoboken Girl<\/a> team previously reported on the seafood spot\u2019s closure back in December 2025. At the time, the Erie Street restaurant had shuttered operations and completely wrapped its windows, with no official note posted on the door explaining the sudden closure. The Boil was also listed as \u201ctemporarily closed\u201d on Google Maps.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Team Behind Dubu Hana<\/p>\n

Dubu Hana comes from the team behind M\u00f6kbar, the popular Korean ramen<\/a> concept founded by Chef Esther Choi. M\u00f6kbar currently operates multiple locations throughout New York City, as well as an existing New Jersey outpost at Newark\u2019s Gateway Center.\n<\/p>\n

After doing some digging, we found that Dubu Hana has already launched a website and Instagram, though details remain minimal for now. Currently, the website features just one message teasing what\u2019s ahead: \u201cSomething SEOUL-ful is coming soon. Featuring Chef Esther Choi.\u201d<\/p>\n
