    I have been to this location a few times over the years - and each time I told myself it would be the last - but somehow someone in the group would always want to go here - They have there own parking lot - and a lot of additional parking along Kingsway and the side streets - The decor is super out of date, and a little random - seating was honestly a little uncomfortable - they were playing some KPOP OST - so at least that fits the theme. Servers were not attentive - and you may have a hard time getting some service - so try to get all the things you need in one go. Beer was good - but that's cause it's bottled - Seafood pancake didn't have much seafood - a lot of onions to be frank - pancake fell apart upon lifting - no crisp to the cake - snow cheese chicken was a big miss - the chicken was crispy , however the cheese was like KD thrown on top - not balanced and not tasty - Too many other Korean spots nearby - that I'd advise you skip this one or at least tread with caution -

    Seafood pancake

    We went at lunch time, the seafood pancake was nice and crispy. The la galbi was good too. Good amount of 2 people for about 45 dollars

    I haven't been to JMJ in years! Decided to swing by after a cold night out. There is parking for the restaurant and it wasn't busy when I went. Ordered a whole bunch of dishes and it came out fairly quick. Everything I ordered was good and just like how I remembered it. The service was good as well. No lag time with what we needed. Their kimchi isn't as spicy as other places but it was still good. The Gamja-Tang was nice and hot. Could use a little more flavour but overall hit the spot. Seafood pancake was loaded! The other sides were standard. Japchae was good! They're open late too. Perfect for a late night date!

    OG Jmb! Haven't been here in over a decade and it hasn't changed. Traditional Korean comfort food when it's cold out. Always busy but there's so many staff, that you don't get forgotten at all. They really take care of you. Decor is nothing fancy. Just a family run and owned joint. We had a combo with the traditional pork neck soup, seafood pancake and the LA galbi ribs. Lots of meat on the pork neck and soup was tasty. The banchan was good. They kept checking on us to refill without us asking. The seafood pancake was alright. Really enjoy the ribs. Super tender and tasty. The combo is only $72 (10% off) and was plenty to feed 3 people plus had leftovers for a lunch the next day.

    A place to get authentic and comforting Korean food. Service is often pretty quick here. I like their Korean fried chicken and soups. I also like how their menu allows you to choose the level of spiciness, which is great if you have low spice tolerance or if you want to try spicier food! Recommendations: * soups * stir fry squid * Korean fried chicken

    This place has become our go to place on our lazy weekday night. They have good combo options where you can get a pork bone soup hot pot + japchae for $48. We usually take home the japchae for lunch the next day. The portion size and price are decent so it naturally became our new go to place. We have come back 3 times so far since it reopened after Covid. The staff are attentive and refills our side dishes. Their pork bone soup actually has a lot of meat! A lot of places nowadays have more bones than meat. Definitely worth the money.

    We ordered the combo set D with 4 items -- gamja tang, grilled beef, seafood pancake and the jap chae. They were more than enough to feed 4 of us. We also had the peach soju (yums) and makkoli. They were so good, and did not taste that alcoholic. All the 4 dishes we had were delicious and the place got busier after 6 pm. The only drawback would be service. It was hard to get the staff's attention once the food was delivered. The table was also pretty small to accommodate the 4 dishes plus our bowls and plates and the drinks. Parking is available. Just register your car plate number with the staff though they said it was ok when I tried to do that, and did not take down the info. Still, check with them in case it was a one off thing when I was there.

    Clean, spacious, reasonable price, good portion of food. We came in a random weekday for early dinner. There were already several tables of customers. The Korean server was nice, he took the initiative to refill the Banchan, the Korean small side dishes. We ordered Jeuk-seok Bulgogi, come with two bowls of rice. It's delicious, and we will come back.

    This used to be one of the Knight and Day restaurants back in my youngling days and ever since they all disappeared, Jang Mo Jib took over and been frequenting this place since day one. The place is decently spacious, services have been a bit better after lockdown, and food is consistent for a fair price. This is my go to restaurant whenever I want some casual Korean food for a fair price later at night. Here were the food we ordered during our last visit; 1. Tong galbi (bbq'ed traditional Korean short rib). As always, tender, tasty and well bbq'ed. 2. Go deung Eo Gui (grilled Norwegian mackerel). Pretty basic but I like it with my rice and kimchi. 3. Cheese snow chicken (deep fried chicken with cheese seasoning). Pretty good and as always for most well done Korean fried chicken, they are moist and juicy! 4. Gamja tang. This is the dish I mainly come here for, unfortunately, this time they replaced the dried vegetables with Napa cabbage! I have tried pretty most the low to high end Koreans in the lower mainland and this place by far has the better gamja-tang. The flavour, all the ingredients and the tenderness of the meat are just right. 5. Side dishes, fresh and love their kimchi. Overall, the food is decent and consistent along with a pretty fair price tag compared to many other Korean restaurants. And their services have been an improvement so that's a bonus. I would recommend this place if you want some decent Korean food and drinks for a reasonable price or have a craving for some good gamja-tang. Solid 3 stars for its decently good food for an affordable price.

    I was here with 3 other people last Sunday (March 31st) and we ordered Mandu Jeongol $30.88 (Dumplings hot pot) to share. It was big enough for us to eat. Meat tasted good, but the dish was just average. The dish itself tasted kinds sweet like Bulgogi. Banchan (=sidedish) consisted of Kimchi, potato, spicy radish (Kkakdoogi) and beansprouts; Kimchi didn't taste good though. Service was slow. I could've gone to much better Korean restaurant, but a friend wanted to go and I couldn't turn her down. We had another friend C to join us while 3 of us ate; staff took so long to bring her water. We had to wave at staff few times to get her attention. Nothing good to write about. Food was alright so I'm giving 2 stars.

    I don't know what happened. They close down during Covid and re-opened about 4 months ago. I went back 2x since. I don't know what happened...everything sucked! The pork bone soup was watered down and not flavourful. The japchai was tasteless and the meat inside was hard. The seafood pancake was soggy and 80% flour dough yuk!!! The only good thing was the beef ribs. Even the appetizer sucked!!! No flavour texture was way off!! Disgusting!!! Gave them a chance 2x and no more! What happened??????

    This used to be knight and day restaurant that bit the dust. Big spacious restaurant that does need some major renovations. Service was ok but they don't have the buzzer that signals the waiters. Extensive food menu but small drink menu. The bonus is this place opens late when others nearby are closed. I like the beef ribs they were tender, juicy and well seasoned. Most of the food was not bad and well priced.

    I remember this was a popular choice amongst my mon's friends as I was growing up, and finally got to try it last weekend. We were originally going to another restaurant nearby, but it was closed so Jang Mo Jib was an emergency choice for lunch. My boyfriend and I ordered the spicy chicken (pictured) as it's a pretty popular item along the West Coast lately, particularly in LA. They first provide a gas stove for your table (tables don't have built in grills/stoves), and the stove we got was pretty dirty which was quite unappetizing to look at before our meal. Thankfully, the pot that the actual dish arrived in was quite large, which blocked the view of the stove as we were eating. The dish itself was quite underwhelming. We ordered medium spicy but couldn't taste the spice at all. The sauce had good flavour, but it's similar to a regular ddeokbeokki sauce so nothing special about it. It was fun to play around with the cheese but if you dip anything in it, the cheese will overwhelm all other flavours. The corn was really sticky (?), not juicy or fresh. Service was the typical take your order and bring you food type. It was hard to flag down people as well. What really turned me off was they only offer 3 options for tip: 12%, 15%, and 20%. They don't allow you to choose your own amount nor skip the tip option, so you HAVE to select one of the three when paying with card! All in all, not worth checking this place out.

    this is the description and picture so i can show u that its says slices of beef brisket and over 24 hrs boiling ( and still no flavour)

I was…read morepleasantly surprised to discover that Soju is quite spacious inside and that it actually has a cozy ambiance for happy hour drinks. Service was pretty quick when I visited, wasn't too busy with about three other tables of diners. Food-wise: their prices and portions are quite reasonable but I have yet to discover my favorite menu item or their best dishes as taste for bulgogi was just okay. Overall, their weekday lunch special is good value. Though their food on my first visit wasn't especially memorable, their spacious interior + modern ambience + efficient service + good value and free parking brings them up from 3.5 stars to a 4 stars rating since this is a place I would definitely consider visiting again to try other dishes. And I am hopeful about finding items to my liking because they offer a fairly diverse food and drinks menu.

    We LOVED that this spot serves good food with even greater deals!!…read more This Korean spot is underneath Sushi Oyama (the restaurant that looks like a house) on Kingsway and there's typically parking in the lot or on the street. It's simply decorated with Soju bottles or posters of Korean pop stars or actors. Love the casual and laid back vibe! There is a bell on the table if you need attention from the servers, and they are usually pretty efficient and fast when it is rung. We saw that there was a $9.99 combo deal and everyone at our table was shocked. We all ordered that. The combo comes with your choice of a noodle dish (Jajangmyeon or Black Bean noodles, Korean udon, or Spicy Cold noodles) and a Beef Bulgogi on the side. I ordered the Jajangmyeon with the Beef Bulgogi and it was great! I enjoyed the nice chew from the noodles and the Black Bean sauce was flavoured well. I was pleased to find chunks of pork in the noodles also. The Beef Bulgogi was a little watery, but tasted sweet and tender. All that food for $9.99. That's unheard of in this economy and in these times! Amazing. We'll definitely return as we saw other great deals on the menu also!

I dont really like jambong, so I'm super glad 88 noodle house lets you choose 2 jjajangmyeon! Perfect combo. For the meat dish, you can get tangsuyuk or gganpunggi. We chose the gganpunggi (sweet chili chicken). Jjajangmyeon was ok. Nothing too special about it. Good portions. The gganpunggi was also a good portion! However, I found that it was mostly batter, and since they use a mix of tapioca starch and other as breading, it gets jello-y when not completely cooked.

We always get the black bean noodles. Flavour is consistent, tasty, and it comes out quick and hot from the kitchen. We rotate between the sweet chili chicken and the sweet and sour pork. This time we got the sweet chili chicken. Flavour is good and comes piping hot and crispy. However, I did find the breading a bit heavy and there is a lot of fat in the layers. Same goes for the sweet and sour pork. I love their coating and the flavour is great, but sometimes I just get a coated piece of fat which is a bit off-putting. We also like the japchae, but find it has a bit too much onion for us. Ok cold nights we like to get the 88 noodle soup. Hot, peppery, slightly spicy. Goes well with the pickles they give you. Service is always quick and polite. No issues there. And the seating is spacious with lots of booth seating.
