Jasmine Cafe is one of the finer Korean style Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. Food is good quality and well priced. Interior is modern and relatively up to date. Service is friendly and efficient. The signature dish here is yousansul bab which is seafood, pork and vegetables braised on top of rice. The owner chef of this place made this dish very well since the days he owned a tiny shop across from Metrotown more than 10 years ago. Today this tradition continues. They also make great yangjangpee among others. Overall ingredients used are good and level of cooking is generally very good. read more

Came here the first time; food was pretty good, but pricier than other establishments. 2 stars for our 2nd time coming. Drove 30 minutes to get here, only to be turned away at 8:30 pm when we tried to get a seat, saying that their last call is at 8:30. Well, we were at the door at 8:30 pm. How hard was it for them to sit us down and take our order of and ... Mind you, they say on their schedule they close at 9 pm... Anyway, so we went to another Korean Restaurant instead to get some food. Service over there is way better, though they won't have your Korean-style Chinese food. read more

I'd heard about this place and finally got the chance to try it as I love jajangmyeon. I wanted to see how it would stack up against Hee Rae Deung, the go to place in Coquitlam for Korean Chinese food. Unlike Hee Rae Deung, there was no line at the restaurant when we went for lunch on a Saturday, so that was nice. One unfortunate thing is that they don't have Gan jajang, which is my favorite. Therefore, we settled for regular jajangmyeon and also ordered kanpoongi. The jajangmyeon was good and the noodles had good texture, but seeing as it's regular jajangmyeon, I didn't find it to be as tasty as Hee Rae Deung's gan jajang. However, the kanpoongi was really good and there was lots of chicken compared to coating. At Hee Rae Deung, there's more coating and not as much chicken. Mind you, Jasmine Cafe is a bit pricier than Hee Rae Deung. All in all, it was a good meal with good service. I don't think it'll dethrone Hee Rae Deung as the go to place for Chinese Korean food, though. Nevertheless, if you're in the mood for some good jajangmyeon and kanpoongi and don't want to wait in line, it's worth the ten minute drive from Hee Rae Deung to come to Jasmine Cafe. read more

Not sure what happened with the platform but the app just swapped my first review with updated one. Just a heads up that this is my initial review: My husband and I came here with friends and we ordered the noodles with black bean sauce along with the spicy seafood noodle soup, both in the family size to share. The noodles for the former were overcooked but not unpleasant with the sauce. The portion was huge. The spicy soup was delicious with a good noodle to vegetable to soup ratio. The ultimate comfort food. Also worth noting is that the pork in the black bean noodle dish is way overdone and hard. There are also a lot of onions. We also has the fried chicken and although the batter was a bit over done and too crunchy, the sauce was great. read more

Jasmine Cafe Chinese Restaurant - Fried dumplings :) - Korean Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

We come here mainly for the zha jiang mian noodles, as we think this place has the best version of it. The service is good here and the food always comes out fast. Most Korean restaurants are over priced but Jasmine Club has very reasonable prices. We've also tried the fried chicken here which isn't too bad either. We have come back and would recommend the zha jiang mian. read more

This place has an okay food. Awful service though. From two of our orders (out of 7 orders) pieces of cardboard came out. The server was like, we don't use cardboard boxes like that in our restaurant. The owner (or a cook) came out and told us that it was safe to eat. We told them we don't want to pay for the two dishes. The owner told us, "I'm going to charge the elderly lady who's in charge of it, are you okay with that?" Yes that's EXACTLY what he told us. I would give a negative 5 stars if I could. read more

Excellent service and great food. Recommend if you order the Gangpoongki that you order it extra spicy, sometimes they don't use enough of the sauce for it. Other than that I haven't had Sacheon Jjajangmyeon this good since I was in Korea. read more

This restaurant has very modern interior because this was Greeks before. If you want to treat Korean -Chinese food to special guests, this is pretty good choice. This is clean and plating look good...all dishes are white porcelain not plastic. But...price is little higher than HeeRaeDeung..food portion is small... atmosphere is great.. read more

Good Korean style Chinese food, but they are using too much oil. Nice fire taste to it but a bit too greasy. Overall 3 out of 5. read more

Jasmine Cafe Chinese Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Better than it looks. We came in in a six people group on a Sunday evening and they still managed to find seats. We got a JaJiangmyeon. It was huge in portion, sharable by two people, and the noodles texture and sauce taste were nice. The food also came really fast, as everything came about 5 minutes after we ordered. Their service was pretty bad though and they pressured us to give tips even when we were going to anyways. read more

Jasmine Cafe Chinese Restaurant - JaJiangmyeon ($8.99) huge portion - Korean Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

This restaurant is called Jasmine Club Chinese Restaurant, but it is listed as Jasmine "Cafe" Chinese Restaurant in Yelp for unknown reason. This is a family-owned Korean styled Chinese restaurant in the Coquitlam neighborhood. I came here for lunch alone to explore the restaurant. In my opinion, it is a gem. The owner husband is a Chinese chef from Yantai, China's Shandong province, trained in classic northern Chinese cuisines. His wife is a Korean and also the maître d′ of the restaurant. She lived in China for a year recently with her husband and speaks fluent Mandarin. Her service was excellent. She recommended me to try her "Gun Mandu" (deep fried dumpling with pork chives and veggie). I am not a fan of deep fried food, and actually preferred the "Mul Mandu" (boiled dumpling). The owner wife claimed they made limited amount of Gun Mandu every morning, and would sell out by evening. She said they freeze the Mul Mandu and so those boiled dumplings are always available. I went with her recommendation and was delighted. Although I did not prefer the deep-fried dough, the pork and chive stuffing were fresh and lightly-packed together. Most importantly, the wife explained that they hand-chopped the meat and thus giving that voluminous body texture. In contrast, most dumpling restaurants nowadays would use machine-minced meat to reduce production time and labor costs, but the resulting dumplings lack the luxurious bite in the mouth. The stuffing of those machine-minced dumplings would tend to taste and feel like a meatball inside an unattached dough wrapping, as opposed to a nicely integrated dumpling that is juicy and tender inside. Next, I tried the "Jjam Pong Myeon 炒馬麵" (seafood spicy soup on noodle), which she also recommended. I am a big fan of jjam pong myeon but nowadays it is difficult to find good ones for two reasons: (1) good noodles are supposed to be "hand-pulled", and (2) high costs of the fresh seafood ingredients. While Jasmine's seafood ingredients were in line with most other Korean Chinese restaurants where they would use frozen seafood, the quality of the noodle is the biggest differentiator among its peers. Jasmine's jjam pong myeon was freshly made in-house and "hand-pulled". This is clearly the fruit of the chef's classical training while he was in Shandong. The bowl reminds me of the many hand-pulled jjam pong myeon that I ate when I was a kid in Los Angeles Koreantown. Those hand-pulled noodles had gradually disappeared over the past 30 years in North America due to lack of skilled chefs, high labor costs, and unavailability of high gluten flour in North America. The spicy soup base was well balanced with a consistent body. I have not tried other dishes, but will certainly go back and them next time. read more

I might have a big expectation for this new restaurant. As a result I was not happy with. I've ordered three major meals for Korean people such as Jajang-myeon, Jjamppong and Tangsuyuk. Some may like those taste thou, but not for me. Jajang-myeon was too sweet and sticky, so at the beginning it's good, bur the later I couldn't finish it due to its strong taste. Jjamppong was not a item I ate, but my wife said she didn't want to have it again. Tangsuyuk was not bad because my son was happy with that, but I could feel a over-smoked or burnt meats and a source was too powerful. After meals, there was remained uncomfortable feeling in my mouth, then I couldn't help brushing my teeth. read more

Decent korean Chinese food. Lots of portions. On a pricier side but delicious. Too bad it's so far from Vancouver.

Chinese korean restaurant. The service is good and the place is clean. The food is good and the portion is not so bad either. The price is on the high side..overall it's pretty good. read more

Good food and quick too! A lot of their meal options are big portions and for dinner... if they have a lunch menu that would be great. I would come back. their bean noodle is really good. read more

Kind of meh. I'd give it 2.5 stars if I could but it's good enough that I don't mind going to 3. My biggest problem was that the dish I ordered was over $20 (it was some kind of chicken/rice dish) and it was kind of bland. The portion was nice, but not $20 nice. I probably won't be going back there again. read more

Very pleasant restaurant with Korean/Chinese food. Family owned and run. Don't be surprised by the prices on the menu because you get a lot of food for your money. The only complaint I had is the orders don't come out of the kitchen at the same time, ordered 2 dishes and they came 10 minutes apart. Very good overall. We will be back. read more

I called the waitress and she simply ignored my call. When we ordered food, we didn't say we want fried dumpling, and she just added it. Then the dumpling was served, and it looks like an appetizer. It's supposed to be a Korean restaurant (and Korean owner), which usually serves with free appetizers. Plus all other guests around us got this dish. So I thought this is free appetizer, and I ate it. It's really not tasty at all, nor was the rest of the food we ordered. Then we got the bill and found this food was listed. I said I didn't know it's not free, and I actually did not order it. She said "But you eat it!" What? You put this in our order without saying any word, and then make it like appetizer so that we got confused about it! Very bad and dishonest server. The food is just average, and it's too expensive. I don't see why people come to this restaurant. It's totally not worth it! read more

Ordered spicy chicken dish and a rice dish....what we got was a giant bowl of deep fried batter balls....then 15 mins later finally the rice dish. We did get a profuse amount of apologies from our server though. Service was good but that's about it. No offer to comp or even discount the dinner for the bad and slow food. Will NEVER go back! read more
