nice place for korean seafood. the service was good. will have to come back to try some of the other dishes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Despite reading bad reviews, I was impressed w photos of $130 combo (for both amount and presentation) so I've decided to go and try the combo. But we went yesterday and the menu had changed. $130 combo (one size) no longer exists and its now $120 for small and $200 for large. It was just 2 of us so I had to order small combo. And what we got is LOT LOT less than what I saw in the photos for $130 combo. So I paid 8% less for 50% less food. And we didnt get streamed oyster which is part of the combo that I was looking forward to. Neither of us are big eater but amount of food for small combo was not enough 2 ppl. We left the place still hungry. Elderly lady who served us was really nice but for the price and amount of food, I wont return. Seafood weren't fresh either. read more

What a horrible horrible experience we had today. We order spicy seafood dish (2) and seafood soup. After waiting for about 45 minutes the food started to come out 1 by 1. As we're about to finish 1 dish another one came and so on. But the worst thing was the the 2 seafood stir fry we order the fish was RAW! Long story short they only said "sorry" and that was it. This place does not deserve to be open. Oh and the table behind us also left angry because the food they ordered didn't come out. This was our 2nd time but will definitely not be coming back to eat here. Just go down the street to a place called kuni 100 percent better. read more

Food was great! Had a sotbab with octopus and the portions were very generous. Everything was fresh and tasted great as well. Will come back for sure 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

Came here with parentals for early Mother's Day. Had high hopes due to food past reviews and I can say it's incorrect. Definitely not the price. Parking is horrible. I understand they may be understaffed but least they can do is be courteous and ask if anything is needed and let us know next item on the set menu is coming up. When we came wasn't busy. Had total of 5 tables open with 4-5 staff on the floor and the bus boy cleaning the tables. Didn't even finish eating and bus boy was cleaning while some of our party were still eating. 1 table even ate mid way and left early. Steamed seafood not fresh. Some did NOT taste right and had that sand gritty taste AND we found the plastic wrap in our roe rice. RED flag! Rude staff, NO good customer service. Definitely don't think I would come back nor recommend to ANYONE. read more
