    One of our usual stops in H-MART is this JAWS EXPRESS, located inside the H-Mart food court. We always get the same food here, the 3 of us my wife, me and my son we have our favorites here. My son really likes their GIMBAP and my wife likes their ROSE TOPOKKI and mine is always their ASSORTED FISH CAKE SOUP. There are so many Gimbap selections here, we already tried each one on their Menu, the Bulgogi Gimbap is our favorite. Their Assorted Fish Cake soup is lightly seasoned with a good variety of fish cakes. My wife always had the ROSE TOPOKKI SOUP here, it tasted good as my wife claims but when I tried the Rose toppokki soup, immediately I told my wife that it's not for me, because its way too spicy for me. We always enjoyed the food here, always nothing left on our plate or bowl. Staff are friendly, and plenty of parking spaces.

    Love their Jaws Topokki Soup (Half Regular) served piping hot and regular is on the hot spicy but still delicious and the rice cakes were perfect. I always get their Gimbap Katsu tho does take longer because it's fried. I think I pair it with unfried Gimbap next time because the topokki soup is already very hot and the wait won't be so long

    This was quiet literally the worst bulgogi i've ever had. The meat lacked any type of flavor, tasted dry, and they had no sauces that I could use to aid in fixing the flavor. The girl that took my order was sooo sweet though, shoutout to her she gave me some siracha sauce. The food came out super quick. I'm sure the other food here might be better but this was terrible. Do not get the bulgogi.

    Delicious kimbap and spicy rice cakes! Loved that they offered half size portions of the regular rice cakes and found it to be the perfect size when splitting other options from the food court

    Bulgogi Gimbap

    Our favorite place at the H Mart food court. The gimbaps are tasteful. My go to are the bulgogi and tofu. I wish they would provide side of sauces for free. Their spicy mayo is okay. We love to order the duo set and sub the reg toppoki with their rose version. I wish they would offer half size on those. Good spice on it and I love the quail eggs and fish cakes in them. Be patience because everything is made to order. The staff are always nice every time we go.

    Decided to try much of their selection

    It was fine. If I wanted something quick, it would do. The fried stuff was a little dry so a sauce might have been nice. They gave me soy sauce but I might like more flavor. They just didn't have a showstopper. To be fair, I did not try the teokboki which it seems they're known for, so I need to go back and try that sometime!

    Bulgogi Gimbap

    Located inside H Mart's food court, Jaws Express sells a wide variety of Korean food but I was mostly drawn to the selection of Gimbaps. Think of these as the Korean version of sushi but with more texture, more crunchy vegetables and roots. I ordered the Bulgogi Gimbap and was given a buzzer to return later. I was expecting something pre-made so the fact that I had to wait a bit might suggest that these are rolled fresh. The Bulgogi Gimbap was cut into 8 thick pieces and every bite was crunchy from the veggies. They were also pretty generous with the Bulgogi meat too. If you're on the go, these are perfect because they can be eaten without utensils and don't make a mess at all. Although it's not as satisfying as like a hot meal, it hits the spot when you want something quick and easy.

    Visited H-Mart and didn't realize they have a lot of different restaurants inside. I love kimbap and ordered the keto version it was really good. The sauces aren't that great but the kimbap itself was delicious. Price was reasonable and loved how filled up it was. Service was great, very friendly and fast service staff. Definitely a food court style ambiance with a good amount of seating / tables. They don't serve free water, if you're in H-Mart you can literally buy drinks there and then order your food. I saw some people order big sized tea bottles, etc. from the market and thought that was a super smart idea to share with family / friends and enjoying a meal at the food court. Some restaurants will offer cups so you could use that to share your drink.

    Bulgogi so dry it was like jerky. This did not taste fresh at all, it must've been sitting out all day.

    Bulgogi so dry and old. This did not taste fresh at all, I'm convinced it was sitting out all day. In the end I threw it away out of concern I'd get sick. Will not return and do not recommend.

    Super fresh and delicious gimbap in the H mart food court! It always tastes fresh and flavorful, and service is quick and friendly. Decently priced at about $10 a roll. I usually get the bulgogi one but they all look tasty

    Bulgogi Gimbap
    Elisa L.

    Solid convenient spot for gimbap! My go to is the bulgogi gimbap and it's nicely seasoned and savory and ingredients are fresh and plentiful. Service is quick and nice.

    Half portion tteokboki- yummy!
    Eunice H.

    If you're craving tteokboki, look no further! Located inside the Hmart food court, this spot offers tteokboki, fried Korean tempura, and kimbap! All your favorite street foods! I ordered the half portion of tteokboki (spicy) and it was delicious! It came out piping hot with fresh rice cakes, fish cake, quail egg, and a fried dumpling. For $6.99, this was the perfect portion size for lunch or a quick snack! The sauce was well balanced, spicy with a slight sweetness. Come try this place if you're ever shopping at hmart!

    Bulgogi gimbap
    Billy P.

    Good, fast, inexpensive, AND filling. Is this something I would go out of my way for? Not really. But if I'm in the area, or want to go shopping in H-Mart and am looking to get a quick fill, this would be my go to. The bulgogi gimbap is thick and has a good ratio of rice, veggies, and protein -- it tastes and looks like a quality gimbap. Definitely one of the better gimbaps I've had in San Diego.

Unfortunately, the beef tongue was the biggest letdown of the night. It was dry and seemed like it wasn't very fresh. However, the ribeye, beef short rib, and rib fingers were all good and ended up being my favorite meats of the evening. The biggest issue was the service. We came on a busy Saturday night, and while I understand weekends get hectic, the service was painfully slow. Our server never seemed to be in much of a rush, even with a packed restaurant. Since you're only allowed to order 4 plates of meat at a time, the long waits between rounds meant we spent more time waiting than eating. We also had to ask twice for a grill change, and it still took a long time before he actually returned with a grill change. By the time our next round of meat arrived, we were already getting full, which really took away from the all-you-can-eat experience. What made this visit even more disappointing is that I've eaten here before, and it used to be one of my favorite KBBQ spots. I celebrated my birthday here last year, and it was hands down one of the best KBBQ meals I've had. This visit just didn't come close to that experience. I'm hoping this was just an off night. I know Buga is capable of much better, but based on this experience, I can only give it 3 stars.

I feel the same way, the food is expensive, and portions small. I ordered grilled mackerel, but it cost $20 for two fillets and a bowl of rice. Mackerel is just about the cheapest of fishes, sells for $2.29 a lb at Zion Market. The taste of the mackerel wasn't very exciting, I couldn't taste the grill flavor, and I wish they put some marinate on it. The dish I really wanted is Beef Bulgogi (but I like pork better) but it cost $27 and I couldn't bring myself to order it, too expensive. My friend ordered dumplings for about $14, but I did not taste them. My friend only ordered dumplings, which I did not taste. I come to the same conclusion as my previous visit, 6 years before. Not coming back ! Too many other places on Convoy St to try.

The banchan was really good, and the meat quality was seriously impressive. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. The service was also incredible, especially considering how busy they were. We waited about 45 minutes during peak dinner time, which honestly wasn't bad at all given how packed the restaurant was. And you HAVE to get the cheese fried rice at the end. They use a special type of cookware that makes it look like this giant lid, and the fried rice gets perfectly crispy and cheesy. Such a fun way to finish the meal.

BTW this is NOT AYCE. It is also on the pricey end. Also they cooked all the food for us. Not sure if we will be back but maybe on a special occasion or if we are invited by friends to go. Food: We ordered the SOT Sampler Plate and a fried rice. My favorite was the Prime Short Rib. Everything was good but personally I can't tell the difference between the meat I ate here and from another KBBQ place. For the fried rice they kinda burnt our fried rice. It was so burnt that when we tried to scoop up the rice to try and get that charred bottom, it was stuck and moved the grill itself. Service: Staff were good and attentive to when we needed water refills and more sides. They cooked all the food and asked type of doneness we would like our meat. The only time they slipped was for the fried rice. Ambiance: The place is a nice smell of meat cooking. Feels like a pretty professional establishment. Definitely a place where you could bring a much larger party. Parking: This area has a parking lot space and at the time we came there were still plenty of spots.
