When we walked in the interior was really cool and has great lighting. The customer service was great! The staff is so friendly. We ordered the Brisket cold soup with buckwheat noodle. It was so refreshing because it was a really hot day. Paired up with the Bonchon it was a perfect meal! Broth was light and really delicious!

This is one of the first times I've ever had yukgaejang and I'm glad I was able to have it at this…read morerestaurant. Service was quick and the soups were very hot and fresh. Yuk Dae Jang has one of the best kimchi side dishes with the perfect amount of fermentation and crunch. I got the regular yukgaejang with fresh pasta. The fresh pasta noodles are just thicker rice noodles and they paired well the soup. The soup had such a deep, umami flavor and was so hearty. The shredded brisket and vegetables absorbed the broth well and were so soft and flavorful. Overall just a very simple restaurant full of hearty and flavorful soups. I wouldn't mind stopping by again, especially during a cold day.

Today I came in for the bibimbap which comes with beef and the classic vegetables and rice in a super hot stone bowl. So good!

Here we go - so I paid full price for a combo meal, but several of the included items weren't available. They were out of my side dishes, out of rice for tomorrow, and ultimately had no rice at all--yet I was still charged full price. What's frustrating is that two different servers encouraged me to order the combo meal in the first place. I was dining in and also placing a takeout order, but I never received everything that was included in what I purchased. As someone who occasionally does paid collaborations with restaurants, I want to be clear that this was not a collaboration. It was simply a regular customer experience. It's eye-opening to see how some restaurants operate when you're just another paying customer. Experiences like this make you wonder whether the level of service changes when promotions or influencers are involved. Being in "ninja mode" definitely gives you a different perspective. At the end of the day, customers should receive what they're paying for--or be charged accordingly when key items are unavailable. Restaurants need to do better.

I've been to Jomaru three times in the last month and honestly it's been my go-to lately. It's…read morepretty much the only place I've been recommending or choosing when I go out. The bossam is sooo good, super tender and flavorful. The cabbage wrap isn't as pickled and is a little on the harder side, but it didn't bother me too much. The banchan are amazing, so fresh, super flavorful, and they keep the refills coming. I could literally be happy just eating those. We tried the gamjatang too and it's good, but definitely come with a group because it's a lot, like at least four people kind of portion and still some leftovers. The seollongtang is also really solid, but my current favorite is the spicy buckwheat noodles. So good. Service has been great every time, everyone is really friendly and attentive. The place is clean, but the only downside is sometimes there's a strong cleaner smell that kind of overpowers the food. And parking in that plaza is so rough but even with that, I still keep coming back.

I also always order the steamed egg because its great. However, this time it was fantastic! Light and fluffy. One of the best steamed eggs I have ever had. Also as far as the sides....I love the spicy potatoes always soft and yummy. I also love the onion! What? Yes. They are delicious dipped in the miso paste. Give Jomaro a try, they won't disappoint. Oh I forgot to mention parking is a challenge in this area so its a good idea to try and go early.

I got off work past 9 PM last night and was craving dinner, so I looked up restaurants and found…read morethis Korean spot on Convoy that stays open until 1 AM. Once I walked in, I immediately saw it's the perfect late-night hangout with such a great vibe. It's styled like a cozy Korean pojangmacha pub, K-pop tracks playing nonstop, and the lighting sets such a nice mood. The three of us ordered bossam, and it was absolutely incredible!! The pork belly had the perfect balance of fat and lean meat--it's their signature dish for a reason. I couldn't stop giving it thumbs up This dish alone guarantees I'll be coming back for more. We also got spicy beef soup, which was rich, hearty and delicious, plus cold noodle soup. The cold noodles were decent but nothing mind-blowing. Next time I want to try classic Korean comfort foods like seafood pancake and cheesy spicy stir-fried chicken. Corn cheese is another highly recommended item here too. Our three dishes totaled $71, around $24 per person--pretty reasonable, and we left completely stuffed. It was only 10:30 when we headed out, and there was already a line forming out the door. This place is definitely super popular!

Every time I come here around evening/night time, the restaurant is pretty empty. Not sure why cos the food here is so good, the staff is nice, and the restaurant itself is clean.

The amazing waitress and I sparked a conversation while she grilled my meat. She was so awesome. The beef belly was so tender, but beef tongue was my personal favorite! So delicious especially with the sliced onion banchan. I'll definitely be back in the future!

Highly recommend a reservation, and for parking we didn't have any trouble, but it is shared with another very popular Ramen place right next-door. This is a place where your server will help you cook the meat, which was nice, we've ordered separately outside of the sampler plate they do offer. We just ordered some Wagyu and briskets. A portion of these plates are very small so I would recommend ordering more than what you would order at all you can eat buffet. Yes price is higher due to higher quality of meat. Also, the ventilation of this place was a little better than the other Korean barbecue place because we didn't really smell that badly afterwards. Overall, this place was great for service, ambience and for food. Highly recommend. However, for other dishes they offered were very much meh. Do not order anything else but meat here.
