    A huge restaurant with many seatings. Classical Korean food - salty, spicy and hot. Their mild spicy level is quite spicy and the choices for non spicy food are quite limited. There is a ring to call service.

    literally Frozen food (steamed dumping) My friend and i went there a few days ago. Several disgusting rats were crawling around while they were eating. As soon as I saw those rats crawling around on the floor, I put my spoon down. I don't know whether the servers saw the rats, but they probably knew that those rats are always crawling around. it was that many. I will never go there AGAIN.

    First time at the Vancouver location and the inside was super spacious like the Burnaby location. Ordered two cold noodles because it was a hot day. I fully expected one to be spicy and the other not to be but the noodles were completely different! I loved the chewy texture in both of the noodles and would get it again for sure! The rice cake and beef soup was disappointing though. The rice cakes were too soft and didn't have the chewy texture you long for with rice cakes and there was little meat to be seen as well. Definitely felt like the dishes are hit and miss but doesn't stop me from trying it again

    Fun!

    Open until midnight, we went late night because of cravings for spicy Korean food. It hit the spot. This new location (2021) has a kaorake room, a bar and an outdoor deck (weather permitting) that looks out onto Robson St. Bibim Bap had good veg to rice ratio $12.98. 4* Pork Bone Stew portion meant for at least 2 diners. Hard to be dainty eating this dish. Need to suck on the bones to get every last bits of tender meat. $32.98. 4* Spicy Beef Stew aka Yook-Kay-Jang. A lightly sweet and definitely not as spicy as it sounds or looks $14.98 4* Karaoke get 15 minutes free with a food receipt of $100+ Service very nice Located -on SE corner of Robson St & Bute St -above Happy Lemon, Castellated Cheesecake & Mochi Mochi but entrance on Bute St. Walk up to the 2nd floor

    Great meal to have.

    I haven't try this place for a while due to my lack of effect of walking down the hill on Robson Street. Since they moved to a new location, I might as well have a meal there. On that day, I order the House Beef and Seafood soup. The dish tasted great with the standard Korean style favor. I would come back for a second seating with my friends and have the larger portion of Korean BBQ.

    Spacious for large groups

    Been craving JMJ's cold noodles and galbi for the longest time. It's been over a decade since the last visit, and it's a different downtown location, but still the same authentic, well-balanced, delicious Korean food! Loved the short walk from our hotel and the many shops nearby. The servers were kind and friendly--like almost everyone in Canada! Prices seem low compared to the LA/OC area, especially post-pandemic. Will be back soon!

    Best chicken wings!

    Had a chance to visit Vancouver recently and so glad I got to eat at Jang Mo Jib! I had dinner there the first night we visited and forgot to take pictures as we ate all the food up too fast. Went back the next day for their Korean style chicken wings. They're slightly spicy, slightly sweet and super delicious! Try anything off the menu, it's all good!

    I quite enjoy JMJ. They have moved into the old Moxies on Robson and Bute beside the Breka. I am not sure if they still have private Kareoke rooms but am waiting to find out. Had a beer here during their soft opening and can't wait to come back to try the food. I love the decor and atmosphere.

    Price/quality (3/4): I came here for Korean food and I was surprised to find that they also served dim sum from Hon's. Still, their soft tofu stew was the same quality that you would expect from a different Jang Mo Jib location--quite nice, though nothing too impressive. That being said, I'm happy to see that they did not skimp on quality even though they also serve food from another restaurant (presumably due to some kind of partnership). Service (1/1): Service was friendly and effective. Would I come here again: Yes

    There is no light in each individual stall.

    Mediocre Korean food. Service was okay. Ambiance was very average, nothing special. I guess my expectations were too high.

We walked in with 5 people and no reservation, but were able to get seated immediately in one of their large tables in the middle. Between the 5 of us we ordered the bossam, spicy galbijjim, seafood pancake, and stir fried tteokbokki. This was more than enough food for us. They also gave a few banchan and bowls of rice. The bossam and seafood pancake were stellar - probably the best bossam I have ever had tbh! The meat was so tender yet flavorful and the sides made the perfect wrap. The seafood pancake was extraordinarily crispy and delicious with the sauce. While the galbijjim was good too, I was expecting the short ribs not the large back ribs. The tteokkbokki was just average. Definitely worth a stop!

Highlights for me were the seafood pancake--thick, crispy, and loaded with seafood--and the bossam, which was delicious with all the proper accompaniments. The japchae was my favorite: chewy and not overly sweet, which is refreshing compared to many Korean restaurants in NYC. The dumplings were good but fairly standard, nothing standout. We also had mackerel, which looked good, and the tteokbokki came with beef, which the kids loved. Despite all the food, my son only ate white rice--sigh. Service was very kind and attentive. They brought kids' plates and utensils without us even asking. Would definitely come back.

    This unassuming stall inside of the Robson Public Market brought my tastebuds back to Busan…read more Both the chef and cashier were super helpful and nice. They answered all my questions and offered recommendations, and were very welcoming. Nam San seems to be very popular for their Soondae (blood sausage). However, I've never really tried Soondae before and I was feeling nauseous on the day of my visit--so I opted for something more mild and less "adventurous" instead. I will definitely be back to try their Soondae next time though. Daeji Gukbap 10/10 This boiled bowl of stew was exactly what my upset tummy needed. The creamy broth warmed me right up and soothed my stomach so well. It was the only thing I was able to keep down in two days. There was also a generous amount of tender and flavourful pork inside. This bowl of stew honestly reminded me so much of the one we tried in Busan. Definitely recommend it to anyone who likes stews. There was no gaminess at all, and yet the soup was still so full of flavour. Absolutely delicious.

    So this place now operates under the name Nam San but is still an absolute gem. One of the three…read moreremaining stalls in the Robson Public Market food court, Nam San specializes in pork offal and homemade Korean blood sausage (soondae), incorporated into a variety of dishes. I always order the same thing, a mixed pork offal and soondae soup. You can choose the spiciness level when you order but they also offer red pepper flakes and fish sauce on the side to add to taste. It comes in small and large, with a side of pickled radish, roasted seaweed, and white rice. Even with the small, you get a lot of meat in the hot stone bowl and it is so comforting. The offal is super tender but the star here is definitely the soondae. Pork blood and vermicelli with spices are encased in an intestine casing, making for a unique springy texture. It's even more tasty when you dip into their homemade fish sauce and the stew warms you to the bone. I love supporting small mom and pop shops, and with how tucked away this place is on the busy Robson strip, I'll definitely make an effort to frequent them time and time again. Please pay them a visit and try their unique offerings out!
