    One of the most unwelcoming person I encountered, when my wife asked for napkins she told her you can get it yourself!
    Ken Y.

    FOOD: We heard alot of good things about the restaurant so I went with my family and ordered the chicken, jjampong, and tangsuyuk. We were not a fan of the tangsuyuk and the chicken. The chicken was alot greasier than normal fried chicken and the breading of the tangsuyuk was not appetizing. The only thing we enjoyed was the jjampong. The soup base was very delicious and it had the perfect amount of spiciness. The jjampong is the only thing we would order again. Overall, the food was decent but nothing above average. SERVICE: In excitement I approached the counter with a smile. My smile quickly disappeared with the attitude and body language of the lady at the register. As I was ordering my food the lady would quickly show her frustration when I would hesitate between my order which was only a couple of seconds. It got to the point where I stepped away and let my wife finish the order. My wife also approached the same lady and asked for napkins. Her response was, "You can get it yourself!" I was shocked with the service and because of it they lost a customer. Food was a 3 but because of the service it was a 2.

    Trash service. The ladies here are absolutely rude and stingy with supplies. The food is subpar so go take your business elsewhere

    Delicious food, large portions and lots of seafood for under 20 bucks. Can't get any better than this.

    This was my first time here, and as a somewhat newbie to authentic Korean food (outside of the…read moretrendy Kbbq spots), I was a huge fan! From the friendly service that made us feel like home, to the delicious food, everything hit the spot. We ordered the cold noodle, seafood pancake, bibambap, and short rib combo. All the dishes were so good! And all the banchan that came with it was the cherry on top. The only negative was the table was kind of small for all the dishes...though that could have been user error with us ordering way too much. Portions were surprisingly big, especially the seafood pancake. The whole time, our littlest one was making a mess and the ladies that worked there did not seem perturbed at all, and kept commenting about how cute he was and interacting with him. This type of service and response made us feel more at ease and able to "enjoy" our meal, and that makes a world of difference. I would recommend! Note the parking lot is a little small.

    I came here for dinner with a friend a little before 7pm and was able to get seated right away…read more I was excited to try this place due to the good reviews and with the previous owners who made amazing naengmyeon I was hoping this new management would be able to carry on the work of the previous one. My mom also tried this place and recommended it, so I felt confident this would be a spot I would be coming often. We ordered the naengmyeon combo with spicy marinated pork and a side of soybean paste stew. The lady was nice when she seated us, but seemed a little bothered when we only ordered the above items, because she coldly asked "if that was all" and we said yes. She walked away then yells back asking if we wanted rice because rice wasn't included, and we said no. Despite the rough start with the vibe of the lady who took our order I was still hopeful the food itself would make up for it. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. I've never had naengmyeon that had so much chili flakes, and as someone who doesn't mind them, it was weird. The soybean paste soup was bland. And the side dishes were just okay. After the meal, I got really thirsty and my face was puffy so they are using msg. If it was a good meal, I wouldn't have minded the msg, but for food that was mediocre at best was not worth it. Although I won't be back, I did see people ordering for take out nonstop, so there must be some other dish that is giving them customers.

    Just had a 15-people party celebrating my birthday, everyone had a great time and enjoyed the food…read moreand service. It was nice having a party where we can share a little with others and get a chance to try some things we normally don't. The big find for me was the mackerel, it actually looked like a huge flounder, perfectly pan fried. We also ordered 2 of the seafood pancakes, they came with 8 slices each, just a perfect appetizer for 15 (and 1 left for the one who missed the party). We ordered slightly extra crispy and everyone loved it. The background music was upbeat and contemporary, I loved every song.

    We visited Jomaru thinking it's a type of one-person hotpot because of its name, but it's more like…read morea smaller-scaled BCD with $45 hot pots. Food: The soups were quite bland for our taste so we did a bit of customization with salt and pepper. Although they provided a decent amount of banchan, the proteins in their soups were pretty scarce, not worthing the $19 price tags. Their Hae Jang Guk was the only soup with the bone filled up the bowl. However, because there's no space in the small bowl, even a little nudge made its soup spilled all over my sister's body. The waitress just then gave her a bib but the damage had already been done. The Bulgogi and Katsu took the longest to come out but they were the highlights of our meal. Service: We were the only table at the time and our waitress only gave us 2 menus for a table of 6 so we had to go grab our own from other tables. She's not the friendliest and kept tossing things on our table. She also tried taking away a dipping sauce jar after I had already requested to keep it. Our water was never refilled and napkins were very skimmed out. Though she did check up on our tables, her attitude was what made us refrain from asking for help. We love to give smaller businesses a chance, but we're sad to say Jomaru is not one of them.

The place seems to really show its age with the floors really dirty and the wood floors are showing a lot of wear and tear. We got there for an early dinner and the place was empty. The lady seemed tired or just not in a friendly mood. The food was still reasonably priced. Much better than the Tofu Chain's and food as good as I remember. I went with the short rib Tofu soup and it came with two nice size beef short ribs and the meat peeling off the bone. Ban Chan was good but could not eat a few of them because they had bean sprouts in it. Nice to see Chodang doing strong. Hopefully the next time back won't be a 3-4 year gap.

    Consistently good food and good service…read more I've been going here for years and can say that the food is consistently good and so is the service. Expect it to be cold in there no matter the day or season - gotta keep you cool when you're eating hot soup! Tables can feel a bit close to each other depending on where you sit. And it does get busy during the usual nights & weekends so expect that. Overall, delicious food with a home cooked feel and good service. I'd say my only gripe is that parking can get busy, but there's plenty of parking throughout the plaza.
