    I've wanted to have marinated raw crab for so long in Vancouver, and finally got to Jejudo! Even though raw crab was our initial goal, we ended up ordering the marinated seafood combo for 2. The seafood platter had A LOT of food, then along with the rice & soup that came along, I'd say it was way too much food for 2 people. We also added a cold noodle because it was such a hot day-- which was a great choice for cooling down lol. Next time I will most likely just get a seafood bowl on its own OR just the crabs, and then add a few other smaller side dishes. We didn't finish any of the noodles or rice dishes. The soup and rice were ok-- mid at best in my opinion. The crab was what I really came for. The seafood were clean and didn't have that ocean taste at all. It felt fresh too! The marinate was definitely the highlight. It was a mix of sweet & slightly salty. It was all soy sauce though. Basically no onions, garlic or anything else added. Service was good, but not great. Our waiters were very kind when they attended to us. However, it did take them a bit long to grab us new water jugs a few times. It was surprisingly not that busy on a Friday evening. At no point were there long lines, but the restaurant was moderately full. The tables weren't huge but it was a big enough restaurant.

    Premium BBQ Set

    Came for the raw soy marinated crab after hearing about it. But it was the bbq set that was the star of the meal. Jejudo is located in a strip mall on North Road just south of Lougheed surrounded by many Korean establishments. We came in a group of six. Jejudo is not very large and they have very limited seating spaces for larger groups. We ended up waiting 45 minutes for a table as they do not take reservations on weekends and patrons often over extend their 90 minute table limit. The marinated crab was a unique experience but not something I have to return for. We ordered several dishes including the Premium BBQ Set (which included soup and seafood pancake) and kimchi fried rice. The presentation of the bbq set was impressive. The meats/chicken/seafood were all amazing...great cuts of meat. I also really enjoyed the kimchi fried rice, the seafood pancake and the soup. Everyone left full and very satisfied. It was a very positive food experience and happy to recommend Jejudo for Korean Bbq.

    After searching for a restaurant in the area that serves raw marinated crab, I finally came across this spot and was so excited. Although I wasn't expecting it to be as delicious as the ones that I've had in Ktown LA, it was still pretty good. Service was very good as well. To get on the waitlist, you just scan the QR code that is on the tv screen at the door. We were quoted about an hour and a half for a Friday evening, but were able to get a table sooner. When you get seated, you order everything from the tablet at the table and all of our food and drinks arrived so quick. The only thing was that it took a bit long to get someone's attention to get our check.

    Female raw soy marinated crab
    Lory P.

    I've been looking for a place that serves Korean female soy marinated crab and Jejudo did not disappoint! Every bite was delicious and I especially loved the putting rice in the shell to scoop out all the gooey goodness. Highly recommend this dish if you're visiting. I also had the male crab legs which were tasty as well, but the female whole crab is the best. I've also come here for Korean BBQ which was alright. They had forgotten to give us the veggies and salad until we asked toward the end since we didn't know it was included. By then, we had finished most of the meat. The seasoning was tasty, but I wasn't a fan of the 2 order minimum they enforced as I was hoping to try other dishes. I would recommend making a reservation if you can. It got really busy after around 6pm. Luckily there's a big Korean grocery store just below which is a fun place to pass the time.

    We enjoyed our time here. It's out of the way for us but we shared the couples bbq platter and ordered a few mains for ourselves. Really nice beef bone soup and delicious spicy cold noodle. I opted for the sashimi option and it was well put together. Bottomless salads are available and we enjoyed having this with our meats. It was a nice way to cut the fat. Service was good and good ventilation so we didn't smell like bbq afterwards. Nice side dishes available too! I would come back more often if we were in the area :)

    Set Menu I've been dying to try raw marinated crabs and I'm so glad I found a place that sells them in a restaurant! The crab was very soft and I would say it resembles sashimi but softer. I would say I'm not a fan of small crabs as there wasn't a lot to eat from it. The bossam was really good. It really fell apart in your mouth. The portion of everything was a lot smaller than expected. For the price of the set menu, I think I normally get a lot more food. The sashimi salad was my favourite out of the whole set. Overall, there was nothing too amazing that I would come back for. I mainly came for the marinated crabs and although it wasn't bad, it wasn't too captivating.

    Why such a low star? I came in for the marinated crabs. I've had Korean marinated crab all over the Koreatowns all over the states. I've enjoyed them many times. It's rare to see them on a menu in the mainland and Jejudo was known for it. Marinated crab Cleaned well and fresh. Marinade was like sugar water with a hint of soy. It was super watered down. Where is the green onion, higher quality soy sauce, garlic, ginger, apples, peppers etc.. in the brine, I tasted none of what I've listed. This was so sad. The crab itself was "tasteless", this was like raw tasteless seafood that was cold and not much there. Imagine a scallop in a watery brine that one has to bite through for its meat. Another point I have to raise is, I didn't see they had marinated crab with roe for $38? until I've ordered. ... so for another $16 I get a female crab with roe. Bc it was so tasteless, it didn't pair with rice. It was too bland to eat by itself and none of the banchan actually paired with it. The crab dish doesn't even pair with the soup which I choose the beef as it over powered it. This crab dish wasn't even appetiser worthy. The banchan paired with the soups, the soup was better as it had good chunks of beef. However, the kimchi was plain, the seaweed was unseasoned and the daikon wasn't even lightly salted (this was just slivered dried out daikon with a raw taste). Chestnut Ricewine This was good. Overall This Marinated Crab Combo is a hard pass until they up their marinade brine game and make a hard suggestion on how to pair this with the other dishes. I'd most likely return for their sashimi/ bbq combos. I appreciate their wine list.

    One of the few places to have marinated raw crabs. They are super small. However the marinade is delicious. The crab itself doesnt have much flavor so it relies on the sauce. There no option to choose with roe or without roe here. Also ordered the nengmyeon. I like that they put iced broth cubes in there. The taste of the broth is quite bland but I like tonadd vinegar and mustard anyways.

    one of the original places for marinated raw crab which is super good. their beef tartare is my favorite. they recently renovated and it looks so good!

    soy sauce marinated raw crab ($21.50)

    Went to Jejudo a while back to try their raw crab! I'm pretty sure that this is one of the few places (if not, the only place) in Vancouver that does it. We had one order between 2 people with around 5-6 pcs of crab, which was the perfect amount for us. The marinade wasn't sweet and had a more savoury, soy sauce taste compared to other places I've tried. I would say it compliments the crab quite well. Crab texture was as you would expect and not fishy or anything either. We also ordered a tofu soup (no spice) and pork collar. The tofu soup was a great way to help cleanse our palette after the taste of the crab and pork collar. The pork was also decent -- a sweet marinade and was chewy but not tough. Nothing overly special or amazing though. Since this is the only place in Vancouver (that I know) that does Korean-style raw crab, I would definitely come give it a try. The other dishes I would say are similar to most other places and Jejudo wouldn't be my first choice for those items. I definitely would be back if I'm craving raw crab though!

    Raw marinated crab meal with rice and seafood soup
    Natalia S.

    I went for the raw marinated crab. I have never tried before, so I had nothing to compare it to other than my own expectations from seeing it all over online. It was $22 for the meal, which came with the crab(no roe), rice and opntion of tofu soup. I got the seafood soup, which they were great about making non spicy for me. The texture is what I expected so I didn't mind. The first bite was quite fishy tasting but the other pieces I noticed, that were more marinated,did not taste fishy at, I quite liked it. I'm glad I tried it but for myself, I don't think they hype was all it was cut out to be, but I would try it again at other restaurants to compare. This restaurant however looks like there are other yummy items on the menu that look like it's worth coming back to try and our waitress was pretty cool too.

    Lunch set for 3

    really great place!! Got the lunch special set. The sashimi and marinated seafood plate is super fresh as well Def recommend!!

    Lynn L.

    Came here to try the raw crab! I wasn't sure what to expect and was surprised how much I loved it. I believe there are two options for it. I ordered the smaller one for $21 just in case I didn't love it. We also ordered a BBQ combo set for two for $88. (2). Beef Short Rib, Garlic sauce Beef Rib Fingers, Garlic Sauce Pork Jowl, Garlic Sauce Beef Bottom Sirloin, and Bean Paste Soup with 2 Rice. I did find the set to be on expensive side in comparison to spots in area. Will be back for the crab soon though!!

The highlight for me was the black truffle dynamite roll, it's taste was perfect. The right amount of truffle used and not over powering like I've had at so many other venues. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted. It was smokey, earthy and tasted wonderful. The miso cheese eggplant was delicious, slightly salty from the miso and wonderfully roasted soft eggplant. The fish colar in broth was light and delicate, beautiful flavor and texture. Chawanmushi was soft and delicate, excellently flavored. The omakase which had fish from Japan was delicious, super fresh and masterfully prepared! The tempura came with a green tea seasalt which was different but very nice. For dessert we had the green tea tiramisu which was very tasty. The restaurant itself is small but cozy and wonderfully decorated. My wife and I had a wonderful meal and I would go back for special occasions.

We sat in a separate section of the restaurant with 3 tables at the front. We ordered chicken wings, assorted tempura, miso black cod and an order of beef teriyaki that was not on the menu. The servings are very small for the prices charged. We found that the chicken wings (only 4 small wings) $9.50 were a bit dry. The tempura batter was not as crisp or crunchy as we've had. The miso black cod was a very small portion - maybe 4 oz. for $18.00. We did not feel that there was value for the money. The food was average and the prices were too high for the quality and amount of food received.

    I made a reservation at Okeya Kyujiro for my partner's 40th birthday, and he had the best time…read more Honestly, it was one of the most memorable omakase experiences I've had in Vancouver. Okeya Kyujiro is a Michelin one-star theatrical omakase restaurant, and when they say theatrical, they mean it! From the moment you're welcomed by smiling ushers in kimono to the closing tea ceremony, every movement feels intentional, precise, and elevated. The ambiance is serene and anticipatory. At the start, guests sit in silence as a black screen conceals the chefs. You see their shadows moving behind it. A bell rings, the screen lifts, and the performance begins. Dinner is a 25+ course experience priced at $325 per person. It's undeniably a splurge, but for a milestone celebration, it feels justified. The menu is seafood-forward, with many ingredients flown in from Japan. Each ingredient is presented before preparation, then carefully assembled and served directly from chef to guest. Courses arrive one by one, never rushed. The service team moves seamlessly in the background, refilling water and attending to drinks (available as an add-on) without disrupting the flow. The finale is a matcha ceremony, whisked in front of you with the same quiet precision that defines the evening. When the final sip is taken, the bell chimes once more, the chefs and staff bow, and the screens close. It was a beautifully choreographed dining experience, perfect for marking a special moment, and one I'd gladly return to for the next celebration.

    Service was really amazing with servers explaining each dish and drinks were always topped off…read more Food was good, but maybe this isn't quite my style of omakase compared to the other ones I've tried. This is a more theatrical style so expect louder music and a more theatrical experience (eg one of the servers played the flute for the guests celebrating birthdays). I prefer a more intimidate and interactive style of omakase where you can talk with the chefs. This lunch also felt a little fast in terms of progression of the meal. Some of the dishes were very tasty while others didn't wow us. With drinks, we were quite full despite some reviews saying portion is on the smaller size. Our total was around $500 with drinks for 2 people. A really good experience for omakase, especially if you are looking for a unique experience though not my favourite one I've tried.
