    Roe topped rice
    K L.

    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.

    Fish Roe Sotbap (pot rice)

    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!

    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.

    Banchan/side dishes

    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.

    Fish roe sotbap

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    If you ever want to try Korean seafood, definitely come and try! Atmosphere is nice!! Well AC'd and the food was delicious! Came here for a work dinner and got the combo meal, but the side dishes were good, and the entree was delicious as well!! Parking is easy to find and wasn't too busy. Service was good as well!

    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.

    Sashimi (M)
    Kathryn T.

    We got the sashimi entree, eel sotbap, and marinated beef sotbap. Sashimi was so fresh and both the sotbaps were so flavorful. Customer service was amazing. Our server, David, was so attentive and pleasant. The chef gave us a complimentary spicy tuna roll as well. Overall I would come again!

Overall, it was quite tasty. However, prices are kind of on the more expensive side. They have a lot of seafood on their menu, but it was too pricey for our liking.

The food is of good quality, but the pricing makes it difficult to fully justify the value. The standout dish of the meal was the snapper sashimi. The chef's recommendation to add freshly grated wasabi, along with a light touch of truffle salt, enhanced the dish significantly. This combination elevated the flavors and made it the most memorable part of the dining experience. As someone who particularly enjoys uni, I found that dish had strong potential. However, the addition of a sweet sauce and sweet seaweed overpowered the natural delicacy of the uni, which diminished the overall balance of the dish. In this case, a more restrained approach may have allowed the ingredient to shine more effectively. In general, while the food is well-prepared, the pricing does not fully align with the overall experience. Given the location, higher operating costs are understandable; however, there is considerable competition in the area offering comparable or stronger quality at a more favorable price point. I appreciate the effort and execution from the team, but based on this visit, it is unlikely to become a regular dining option for me.

It's a coursed meal centered around sashimi platters (very unusual to see nigiri at these restaurants), and dishes made with rest of the fish that became sushi. It's sashimi with a lot of extra accoutrements you'd expect in a Korean restaurant. We started with porridge and miso soup, and lots of banchan, including cheesecorn and steamed egg. Then came the sashimi platter. In Korean sushi houses, you get to have soy sauce AND a gochujang based sauce (it's gochujan and vinegar). They also gave us sesame oil + salt and dried seaweed which I think is for the tuna. Then there was tokoyaki, fried rice cakes, tempura, spicy fish stew, grilled fish, fried salmon skin, fried chicken, and spicy marinated crab. All while getting refills on the banchan. It was exactly what I was wanting, as I have not found anything like it in Seattle! The staff was super friendly, and they had a lot of other items on the menu that I would love to try at some point in the future! Highly recommend!

California crawfish season is just about to begin, but I don't know if the restaurant started using fresh live crawfish yet because the majority of the crawfish shells were soft and mushy, although thr meat was still good. Based on the sauce alone, I'd definitely try again in a month or two to see if the quality of the crawfish improves as we get deeper into crawfish season. The clams were hit and miss as some were great while others were handy. Generous amounts of sausages and potatoes were given for a good price. My wife and I were able to finish the add ons in one sitting. I'd give the restaurant and overall 3.5 right now, 5 for the sauce alone and a bit lower than a 3 for the seafood quality. We still enjoyed the meal, but quality could definitely be better.

    Came here to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday…read more Our party had 3 people and we came for an early dinner on a weekday. There was maybe one or two other parties there. Their menu specializes in Korean style premium seafood items. They have the option of live or not. They had different set options and items you can get a la carte. We went with their live fish and sashimi set C. We also got some live shrimp and live octopus to try. I love that the staff was super knowledgeable and explained everything to us. The live set included a lot of side dishes. It also included halibut and flounder, a platter of abalone, sea cucumber, cold soup, hot fish soup, calamari and vegetable tempura. All of which were amazing and tasted very fresh. The live octopus was definitely an experience. They tasted fresh and sweet and were very actively moving. If you want to try it I would definitely recommend trying it here. The chef was nice enough to have us try two types of nigiri. Both were amazing and fatty. The whole dinner was quite an experience. Since there were so many dishes they made sure to go in order but not rush us since many items were coming out. The staff was super attentive. Many items came with its own sauce so they made sure we were doing it right. We spent about $400 for 3 people which included alcohol. I thought it was fair especially for how fresh our seafood was. The inside of the restaurant is pretty casual but clean. You can also see most of the seafood items. I recommend if if you want live seafood items Korean style. We will be back.

I think in the future when I come back, I will stick to ordering the sashimi platters or the live sashimi platter. I think ordering the live seafood here is worth the price more than their other stuff. Overall, pretty delicious and I left feeling very full! I recommend giving this place a try if you like seafood and especially live seafood since it is fresh here. The only con is the price but I still recommend giving this place a shot!

    Okay, So I am updating my original review !!!!!!! My husband & visited here in July 2026 - I posted…read moremy review The restaurant reached out to me to ask about my review - amazing in my opinion. We tried it again tonight, blown away from the minute we walked in the door. Friendly prompt service. Sat in a cool booth in the bar ( you know the kind old school green leather wood paneling ) huge area yet cozy, college football on tv. My husband's dirty martini with blue cheese o lives & my cosmopolitan were fantastic. Ordered the Fat Bastard oysters - again great. I laughed at my husband when he ordered the filet for dinner until I tried it - one of his favorite steaks yet! Cooked "perfectly ". I had the halibut fish tacos , which I highly recommend. Tatiana our waitress was great very friendly & funny. For dessert we tried something different for us their hot fudge chocolate cake ..... ......... you must order. Service food drinks ambiance parking family friendly date night happy hour good time Go to the original fish company!

    I came here salivating with such a craving after browsing Yelp for a great place to eat, which I…read moreusually do when I'm searching for something new to try. I came here for seafood, specifically their Oyster Rockefeller, because I haven't had it in decades. It's one of my all-time favorite dishes, along with foie gras, bone marrow, head cheese, suckling pig, and more. I was happily surprised to discover it's located across the street from my favorite studio, Mr. Inkwell's Classic Tattoo & Piercing. I guess I didn't pay close attention when I mapped out directions--a real downside of relying on GPS these days. I remember when I used to memorize streets, locations, and directions every time I visited a new place or traveled. Anyway, I digress. The place is fancy and spacious, with a market out front, divided into three or four sections: the bar stools right in front of the bar, the bar seating area, the main dining space, and an enclosed patio. The employees all looked experienced and mature, like they had been there for more than a decade. The three hostesses at the front were younger. After looking at the menu, I decided to start with their peach puff pastry topped with vanilla bean ice cream. When a dessert catches my eye, I often prefer to indulge in it first because I might be full afterward. It didn't disappoint. I took my time, savoring every bite. The freshly cut peaches had a nice bite, while the puff pastry was crunchy and flaky, with its very tasty cream. The vanilla bean ice cream was simply delightful. After finishing, I didn't want to spoil the high from such an amazing dessert, so I decided to take the oysters home. It's half a dozen. Presentation-wise, they're a bit underwhelming compared to previous ones I've had. And just so you know, I used to work part-time as a server at an upscale American restaurant at the top of a fancy old hotel in Long Beach, at a well-known authentic Italian pizza place in San Diego, at a small Korean bar in Torrance, at a family-owned Filipino restaurant, and at a Japanese fast-food chain, among others. Even with a full-time 8-5 corporate job, I still worked part-time as a server, dining host, and karaoke hostess. My three favorite pastimes are enjoying delicious food, meeting new people, and discovering new adventures. To continue, my biggest disappointment was that two of the six Oyster Rockefellers didn't contain any oysters at all! It's baffling how that could happen. Usually, Oyster Rockefeller looks bulky with build-up depth from the spinach, cheese, butter, and seasonings on top of the oysters themselves. But these looked dull and bland with a plain flat top. They also weren't that hot. It wasn't really appetizing. Two of them only had the adductor muscle (that round, fleshy part attached to the shell), which I actually love, by the way. So you see, I couldn't be mistaken, as I slurped the oysters only to taste the spinach, cheese, butter, and the little bitty meat muscle I had to scrape a little off the shell with a fork. There were definitely no chewy, soft, and tasty oysters. I hope it was just a simple mishap, especially for an upscale restaurant known for its seafood dishes. Hopefully, a member of management sees and reads this review and takes corrective action to ensure this never happens again. Please note that the usual price for great-tasting Oysters Rockefeller at a well-established restaurant is $30. This place charges $25, which makes me think twice. But then again, some of its dishes are priced a few dollars lower than most, except for the dessert, which costs a few dollars more at $15. However, I still enjoyed it so much that it doesn't matter to me. In life, there are always pros and cons when it comes to overall preferences. It is always up to you to try things yourself and not rely on someone else's opinion, which might prevent you from discovering new things. That said, I am willing to come back to try other dishes that look equally scrumptious and reasonably priced: Toodle-loo, my darling readers. Until next time.
