An Unforgettable Seafood Experience! If you are looking for top-tier, incredibly fresh Korean seafood, Jumunjin is an absolute must-visit! We ordered the Set Menu for Two, and every single bite was amazingly fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. What truly elevated our entire meal, though, was the stellar service. Huge shoutout to David and TJ--they were warm, genuinely welcoming, and exceptionally attentive from the moment we sat down. They went the extra mile to make sure we were completely taken care of and had everything we needed without ever feeling intrusive. We got the set for two, a kind of tasting menu. We started with a nice array of side dishes and sashimi, then got a crisp grilled fish, a larger steamer full of dinginess crab, octopus, and shell fish (bonus - they deconstruct the crab for you, so it's not as messy ;) and more sides and a roe topped rice pot, and then ended with seafood kalguksu )knife cut noodles in seafood broth) so soothing! It was as good as the seafood we've had in Busan, Korea -- the OG of Korean seafood scene. To top it all off, we paired our meal with makgeolli (막걸리)--it was served ice-cold, crisp, and absolute perfection alongside the seafood. Incredible food, fresh ingredients, and hands-down some of the best service in town. We will definitely be back to try their specials. I'm looking forward to trying their raw marinated crab and spicy fish stew. read more

7/2026 : Service is 12/10. Every single server was attentive, friendly and patient while we had questions about the menu. Every time we turned around, they would ask if we needed anything. Food was very fresh, menu offered a plethora of options and Dishes were flavorful and tasty. We will return! read more

Service was good as well! read more

Jumunjin - Side dish - Seafood Near Me - Buena Park, California

Came here for a girls' night out and was impressed with how much food and great service this place offered! Also appreciated that the place is very spacious to accommodate large parties. We ordered the Jumunjin Signature Assorted Sashimi Combo, which came with Assorted Sashimi, Appetizers, Steamed Clam, Fish Roe Sotbap, and Spicy Fish Stew. We also ordered the Snow Crab. At first, we thought we'd have no problem finishing all the food, but we quickly realized just how generous the portions were. Service was great! Every time a dish came out, staff took the time to explain what it was, which was helpful. Our server Hannah helped mix the Fish Roe Sotbap tableside and break down the snow crab, making the meal effortless and much more enjoyable. Will definitely be back when hosting a big party or craving a seafood feast! read more

This is a newly opened Korean restaurant with a great selection of seafood dishes, stone pot rice, and other Korean specialties. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and modern. There is plenty of seating, including many large tables that are perfect for family gatherings and larger groups. The variety of complimentary side dishes was impressive, and they were all flavorful. The stone pot rice dishes were beautifully presented and made a great first impression when they arrived at the table. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, we had a great experience. I would definitely come back and would feel comfortable bringing my parents and family here for a meal. read more

My friend and I came over in March and we had a great experience. The seafood was fresh and delicious. Banchan/side dishes: The kimchi was good, it has a nice crunch to it. Well marinated (but not to a point as old kimchis) and seasoned. I absolutely loved the spinach with tofu and seaweed, they're were a nice addition to the flavorful meal. Salmon/fish roe set: the salmon and fish roe were fresh, not stinky. The set comes with a salad, seafood tofu soup, and side dishes. Definitely worth the price and the quality is great as well! There's actually seafood in the tofu soup. Fish roe bibimbap: unlike the Jumunjin sets, the bibimbap options only come with a miso soup. But really no complaints here, the fish roes are very tasty and fresh. Grilled mackerel: the grilled mackerel was not oily at all! I have tried grilled mackerel at other places and all turned out to be very oily. The mackerel was fresh, tender and well seasoned. The lemon juice adds a hint of refreshing flavor. This also came with a seafood tofu soup. Overall, this place was delicious and outstanding. Everything was worth the price. You are given with a bowl of rice once you have ordered, and the dishes/soup that comes with the meal really make it a full large meal. We had a great experience, the service was welcoming and helpful. I saw chef was slicing the fishes in the front. The restaurant is very spacious, a great place for large parties. However, the fishy smell is very noticeable. They are located in the plaza right across the street from The Source, so it's a great alternative if you want to explore something different. I'm actually very sad to see the poor reviews it has received recently, my friend and I definitely want to go back to try more dishes. I hope they're able to keep up with their quality and service. read more

If you love fresh seafood... this is a spot for you. This new restaurant has ample space to accommodate for any party size. The restaurant is big and clean and the service was so friendly. They even help you break down the crab and crab legs. For three people, we got a small steamed seafood set, some sashimi, tempura, and soup at the end. The selection was great - it came with the option between snow crab or Dungeness crab, shrimp, clam, mussel, snail, octopus, and even abalone. Nice presentation and fresh seafood. Surprisingly my favorite bite was their assorted fish roe sotbap. A simple dish but so flavorful. This is a great spot to have a dinner or even drinking food with friends. The ladies working were so nice, helpful, and attentive. We came on a weekday dinner and it was not crowded but I assume weekends would be more packed. read more

Jumunjin - Snow crab - Seafood Near Me - Buena Park, California

Named after a famous Fish Market in Korea, Jumunjin is a new addition to the Buena Park food scene, and at the time of my visit they were still waiting on their liquor licenses. I came here with my friend for lunch so I wasn't looking to drink, but I feel like this type of restaurant is a good spot to munch and drink at. Service was incredibly attentive, and they even welcomed us to a bigger table so we can be comfortable. The interior was spacious. They are still in the soft opening phase so they wanted to go above and beyond for their customers. My friend and I had the Jumunjin Signature Combo ($129.99) which had so much food it was probably good for 3 or 4 people. The banchans came out first, along with the butter and marinara sauce, then the sashimi, baked mussels, tempura, fried fish, and octopus rice. This all led to the main attraction if the steam style seafood with mussels, abalone, clams, snails, oysters, scallop, shrimp, octopus, and Dungeness crab. We had to pick between the Dungeness crab and the snow crab, and I knew the snow crab was easier to eat but the Dungeness crab is definitely better value. Then at the end they brought out the kalgulsu noodles to finish up the course. So epic!! SO MUCH FOOD!! A part of me feels like I liked some of the snack bites more than the main course. Just to give the business some feedback since they are still soft opening, I think the butter should come later with the seafood because it was cold and hard by the time the seafood came out, since it came out first. Also I felt the crab, snails, and abalone were well cooked but some items like the clams, oysters, and scallops were overcooked and crazy dry. The meal is undeniably good value for so much seafood but there is still room for improvement. I hope the business can adapt and improve as they continue their business. If I come back I would want to come here in the evening when I have more time to relax and really focus on tackling the food. It was a little bit stressful to enjoy such a elaborate meal during my lunch hour. read more

I found a new korean resraurant just opened at the Fuddrucker restaurant place in BP. I didn't know that restaurant was gone until I got there today. I was so excited to try hot pot w abalone for my choice. Side dishes, kimchi, brocollis w imitation crab meats, seaweed, fish cakes, mini potatoes, and some kind of white acorn jelly, which were fresh, tasty, and refillable. As entrée, abalone, mushroom hot pot was not hot enough, no hot steam came from the rice pot at all??? Looked like they put a little sliced abalones, lots of shitake mushrooms as toppings over steamed rice in the pot. The rice pot itself was not hot. I couldn't taste the real steamy, fresh cooked rice. Dissapointed! It added little radish pickles, korean traditional spicy squids, salad, and wasabi w sauce, accompanied w shrimp clam hot tofu stew. I think they had to ask me what flavor do I like for hot tofu first, then bring my choice either seafood or beef. No options for hot tofu. To be honest, It didn't meet my expectation as a hot rice pot lover and not the same one I'd used to eat in Korea a while ago. My hubby chose eel hot pot. His fave food all the time. He liked the hot pot and hot tofu. He doesn't like hot broth or hot foods just like me. He waits until the soup cools down. That is why he doesn't care about the temperature. I asked our server when this restaurant opened and he said, 3 weeks ago. Very New! That is why the foods were not perfect yet or too many items are on the menu? Sushi, rolls, and sashimi, Hinoki steamed seafoods including snow crab, and more korean cuisines.... The space is huge in the dining area including annex dining room all the way in the back. The service was good, attentive, and friendly. I went to the bathroom, found broken hook on the door so I couldn't hang my purse. They need to fix the broken part. I always check the service, quality, and restroom. This is a part of customer service. The parking was enough in the big korean Plaza on the Beach. I hope they can improve the hot pot w more toppings, right temperature when they serve the foods to the table. read more

My wife found a new Korean hot rice pot in BP. Their specialty is steamed Hinoki seafoods, snow crabs, sushi, rolls, sashimi, and traditional korean fish seafood stew, and etc. I noticed this place were former Fuddrucker restaurant. That restaurant is gone. The restaurant just opened 3 weeks ago. I noticed lots of korean people started to get here during lunch time. The location is really good between Beach Blvd and Orangethorpe. I chose eel rice hot pot and my wife got abalone mushroom hot pot. I wanted to order some soju but it has shown they didn't get the alcohol license yet at the entrance. Just new restaurant....new. The 6 side dishes are fresh, good, including kimchi, seaweed, broccoli, white jelly, mini potatoes, and fish cakes. I got my hot pot w seafood hot tofu, side radish pickles, spicy squids, wasabi, and soy sauce. Every thing was good for me. Loved eel and hot tofu. The service was attentive, friendly, fast. The restaurant is so big, including sushi bar in the middle, annex dining room in the back. My wife is picky for the food temperature. She said my hot pot is not hot enough, no steam at all.... It is not what I am looking for.... Oh! No! She likes real steamed fresh cooked hot pot like she had in Korea. I didn't see the steam came from the pot as soon as I opened the lid. Overall, they have lots of variety of Japanese sushi, rolls, sashimi, and korean style Inoki steamed seafoods, and traditional cuisines. I hope they can fix the temperature of hot rice pot sooner. I know most korean love fresh cooked hot rice pot and nuroongi toasted on the bottom of pot. read more

Found that they did sotbap and wanted to try it out as they didn't have the popular Korean sorbap in OC yet. (Sotbap is rice in a metal dish usually with some protein on top.) Got the salmon fish roe and was very good! I did season with the wasabi and soy sauce provided. They also gave separate side dishes with the sotbap which was nice. I personally didn't like the stew that came with it as it wasn't my style but my friend liked it. Definitely worth a try if you want sotbap and don't want to drive to ktown in LA! Parking was easy and restaurant is quite big. read more

Finding a spot here can be a hassle since the parking lot is pretty bad and has very few spaces, but the food makes it worth every bit of trouble. I came here on a Saturday around 11:30 am with my mom and aunt. Inside, it's a big, spacious restaurant, though it surprisingly didn't have very many tables with seated customers when we visited. Just a heads up that the signature rice pots take around 10-15 minutes to cook, so definitely be prepared to wait a bit for your meal! We ordered the octopus rice pot with cheese, the prime short rib rice pot, and the abalone rice pot, and all three were amazingly delicious. The side dishes were also very good and high quality. The service was incredibly good--the staff was very welcoming, attentive, and kept our tea and sides filled. I will absolutely be coming back next time to try their steamed seafood! read more

Great experience! The snow crab was sweet, fresh, and served warm, and the appetizers were also delicious. I came for a company dinner, and our server, David, was especially helpful and attentive. He gave us great recommendations on which dishes paired well together, which made our meal even more enjoyable. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. David was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure our table was well taken care of throughout the meal. I would definitely come back again and recommend this place to others! read more

We visited over the weekend and ordered sashimi. After placing our order, we asked our server if it would be possible to include a little more salmon. The server kindly said they would ask the chef and accommodate the request if possible, then went over to speak with the chef. This is where the problem occurred. Even though we were sitting close enough to hear everything, the chef said to the server, "니가 뭔데 그런걸 물어봐. 야, 그런건 내가 정하는거야." Which directly translated to "Why are you worrying about something like that? I'll decide what to give them." The server was clearly embarrassed, and naturally, so were we. A few seconds later, the chef asked why, and the server explained that it was a request from the customer. The chef then said nothing. We did ultimately receive more salmon, but was it really necessary to handle the situation that way? We simply expressed a preference for a little more salmon instead of some of the other fish. The server did nothing wrong--they merely passed along our request. Was it necessary to embarrass the server like that, especially when we were sitting right there and could hear everything? Usually, when I leave a review, it is because of a server's attitude. This is the first time I have ever written one because of a chef. The entire experience left us feeling extremely uncomfortable and disappointed. read more

I told myself not to believe any reviews I saw and took a chance. Been wanting to try this place for awhile and I am not disappointed. I'm super impressed with the service and especially the food. I ordered the sushi sashimi combo and was blown away. The quality was way better than expected and so much better than a lot of the places I've gone to. The tempura that came with it was the perfect texture and really complimented the sushi and sashimi. The sushi was amazing, a really good balance of fish and rice ratio if not perfect in my opinion. The rice was cooked and seasoned well and didn't fall apart when you grab the sushi. The sashimi just melts in your mouth. The staff and owner are super nice. They're really welcoming and made sure that everything came out well. It's a really spacious place with plenty of seating and it looks really nice inside. You can even host get togethers for big or small groups. Definitely recommend coming here for a date or even just a night out with the family. read more

Jumunjin - Sushi sashimi combo - Seafood Near Me - Buena Park, California

Jumunjin is a new restaurant specializing in seafood and sotbap. Sotbap is rice cooked until the bottom is crispy with a protein usually on top. I went during their soft opening and ordered the galbi sotbab. After ordering, the waiter came out and said that the soondubu that the galbi sotbab usually comes with wasn't available and brought out a miso soup. The miso soup was disappointing and didn't go well with the sotbab. The galbi portion also didn't match the price. Otherwise, side dishes were great and would try again. read more

Jumunjin - Galbi sotbap - Seafood Near Me - Buena Park, California

This restaurant is in a strip mall with a decent amount of parking and the restaurant itself is quite spacious. It looks like there's a small area that can be used for events if needed. I came here for lunch a lunch break and the food took about 30-40 minutes to come out so I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're strapped on time because the food comes out a bit slow. The presentation of the food was quite pretty. I ordered the eel sotbap and it was pretty decent but I felt a bit oily after finishing my meal. I think they're more well known for their steamed boxes or their raw fish so if I do come back I'll try their sashimi instead. read more

Love Jumunjin vibes and care and foooood! Shoutout to Hannah she is sooo sweet. Banchan is

This was a new place my colleague wanted to try. Three of sat down and was moved to a bigger table because we were ordering a combo dish. The food was okay, but sashimi pieces were extremely cold, almost frozen. The roe-rice came in a hot pot. Seemed odd to have a warm roe-rice dish not in a room temperature bowl. We tried to order sake and the waitstaff says she couldn't help with any selection of Sake because she does not drink. ‍ the service was ok. After a $300 bill, we are not going back. Nothing special about this place. read more

Ordered their signature set and sashimi platter. I think it's very affordable for everything you get plus the quality. All of the seafood was really fresh. Everything was great, really.

Came here honestly to catch up with someone so my expectations were low when it came to the food. Man this place is a prime example why I can't trust some yelp reviews. My personal experience here was a great one. Service was so welcoming, it felt almost like I was visiting someone's home. Food presentation however definitely does not look as if it was made at someone's home. This place could pass for a date night (it was for us). My wife ordered the sashimi/sushi combo and everything was perfect. She was more satisfied than how she would be at actual Japanese sushi restaurants who give a lot less but charge more. I ordered the salmon and fish roe sotbap and I think I'm going to dream about it. The salmon skin was crispy, salmon cooked perfectly, and the bottom of the pot was scorched which made the taste and texture so much more satisfying. It also even came with a small sundubu on the side which paired perfectly. I can see why people complain about the parking due to how small the plaza is. Despite the small plaza the inside of the building is actually really big. Definitely worth giving this place a chance, because we'll definitely be returning here to try more of the food. read more

The crab was absolutely delicious, especially with their special butter sauce. Service was prompt and well-organized -- at least two servers attended to each course, making the experience seamless. The restaurant is spacious enough that our group felt comfortable and could converse privately without feeling crowded by other diners. Good for group read more

Jumunjin was an excellent and affordable Korean meal experience. Knowing very little about Korean food, Hannah (our waitress) was very kind as they explained their menu and types of Korean food. When the food arrived I was amazed at the quantity of food I received. The value for what we paid was excellent. As for the flavor, it was extremely satisfying. The different levels of spice and textures of the rice and soft tofu was complimentary. I especially enjoyed how the rice got hard at the bottom of my sotbap bowl. Jumunjin opened my eyes to a whole new type of cuisine I had previously overlooked in my life, and I'm glad my first foray into Korean gastronomy started with someone so authentic and clearly made by staff who is passionate and reflective on their culture and food. We will absolutely be back to Jumunjin for another meal! read more

We truly loved our experience here. We passed by this place and was intrigued because we love seafood. Their portions are big and definitely worth the price. All the seafood came out fresh. Staff was very attentive to our needs. PJ and David were our servers and I just want to give a special shout out because they checked up on us so much. We got the signature combo and large sashimi platter. For a party of 5, it was more than enough. The staff checked in on us every 5 minutes and offered extra rice, although we were so full. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. Everything from the food to the service was amazing. We finished everything! I will definitely be back!! read more

Jumunjin - sashimi platter - Seafood Near Me - Buena Park, California

We came here for Mother's Day and had an absolutely awful experience start to finish. We weren't greeted when we first arrived, and made to wait for 20 minutes even though there were open tables and once seated were not checked on for at least another 15. Once our order was taken the banchan did not come out to the table for another 20 minutes. Strangely, tables around us who were seated after we were got their food and what seemed like normal service. We waited a full hour for ANY food to appear and it never did. Not a single check in or explanation about why the food was delayed, or when we would be getting anything. Just empty plates and the waitresses avoiding eye contact. Also while we were waiting they sent the only two sushi chefs working to have their lunch at the same time, which I'm sure delayed the food prep even more. I understand a soft opening and kinks not being worked out and I am an incredibly patient person - but with no GM, no hostess, no one actually running this business I can't see this place staying open. Food may have been good but we wouldn't know seeing as how we never got anything. We ended up walking out since we'd been there for over an hour with no food in our bellies and a terrible experience for our mom. Avoid this place. read more

Not worth the money. I can understand staffs are a bit unfriendly and unorganized as this is still soft opening, but the quality of the food was poor. I ordered the signature combo and the Crab legs were salty and rice in the sotbap was mushy. One of the shrimps tasted spoiled and I immediately spit it out. Not worth $120 promotional price. And it took 2 hours to bring all the combos to the table. Kalgooksu took forever and tasted awful. Poor management and poor food. These flies kept us company while we waited. read more
