“ Went here for a small reunion with 4 college friends. We really enjoyed the ambience and the overall settings of the place-- it was a great place to chill and catch up. We ordered some dishes, including the rose toppoki, bbq chicken, potato pancake , and spicy pork bulgogi. All of them were fire and well-cooked, we enjoyed everything that was served. Service was awesome and they were really accommodating. There's a huge parking lot available, so it was convenient as well. Would definitely come back! ”

“ I feel compelled to base my review of this place solely on the pork belly with green onions. The pork belly with green onions is one of the best things I've eaten this year, and I am still dreaming about it. Never did it occur to me to make a green onion salad, after having green onion mainly as an internal ingredient or a garnish. The green onion's pungency cut through the delectable greasiness of the pork belly, and I am all about finding balance in my life. The service is really good, very friendly servers. The dark lighting is somewhat moody, and does lend the atmosphere of a gastropub. I want to bring my mother to try the pork belly with green onions, that's how highly I regard it and how much I care for my mother. The other dishes were also solid, but as a meat eater that does not keep halal or kosher, I must recommend the pork belly with green onions. ”

“ Perfect slightly charred and seasoned food, hole in the wall vibes, good parking and no wait time? I had a great time w my friends and loved it. Servers are quick and kind to help you. Spicy chicken feet (5/5) - perfectly seasoned, not overcooked n dry Large intestine (4/5) - perilla powder seasoning is interesting, I enjoy my large intestine a lil more squishy Skewer set (4/5) - came out hot n delish ”

“ Food: The rose tteokbokki is the star and one of my all-time favorite Korean dishes. The sauce is creamy, spicy and sweet. Aside from the rice cakes, it's loaded with cheese, corn, fish cakes, sausage and chewy udon noddles. We also ordered pork belly with green onion and kimchi pancake. I love how crunchy the pajeon was on the outside with every bite and I dipped it on the pasta sauce! Yummy. Obviously, these meals are best eaten when served hot. Service: Staff are friendly. They served the orders fast. Ambience: Crowd can be noisy. Just depends what vibe you are going for when you dine in but the food is worth a visit for sure Parking: We visited around 9ish at night so there are plenty of parking spaces in the lot so all good ”

“ Tucked away in a quiet spot, JJan is a hidden gem that will leave you craving for more! This unassuming Korean restaurant serves up massive portions of mouth-watering dishes that will tantalize your taste buds. Service was fast and friendly. The Rosè Spicy Chicken dish is a MUST-TRY - the creamy sauce is reminiscent of a spicy carbonara, paired perfectly with udon noodles and loads of juicy chicken. The pork belly skewers make for a great appetizer, and the pork bulgogi is a fantastic addition to any meal. To wash it all down? A refreshing glass of peach soju, of course! The portion sizes are incredibly generous, so come hungry! Overall, JJan is a great place to satisfy your Korean food cravings. Don't let its humble appearance fool you - the flavors and quality will keep you coming back for more. Highly recommended! ”

“ The vibes here are great! Love how they have the decor setup with the colorful lights and the structures with the dark background, it feels like you're in the streets of Korea. The servers are also pretty attentive too, consistently monitoring the area and they are easy to call upon. I got the jeju orange cocktail and that was pretty good, it just tasted like juice so it's a bit dangerous haha! I also got the the rosé tteokbokki which I liked. The heat was great and I liked the inclusion of udon noodles and corn to it. The sauces was a bit on the thicker side, but it was better than being too watery. I wasn't the biggest fan of the seafood pancake since it just tasted like an omelet to me without much flavor though. Overall, a great experience here. ”

“ As a regular at Jjan for years, it's surprising I've never left a review before. But the consistent quality of delicious foods at jjan always impresses me (my favs are the shake chicken, cheese bath spicy chicken, pancake platter, spicy sea snail salad w noodle, and gochujang stew. Too many lol). Having a nearby spot where I can always count on great food is something I'm truly grateful for. Sometimes, it gets crowded on weekends, and waiting in line becomes part of the experience, but it's always worth it for the guaranteed good time. Plus, I heard BLACKPINK's Jennie was seen hanging out there a couple of days after I went... Just my luck to miss her by a hair! I also missed out when Lisa came after Coachella last year. Can't believe I've missed out twice I can't trust myself sometimes! ”

“ The food portions are huge! Really good bang for the buck and all of the food was solid. Rose tteokbokki was so good! It had fishcakes, sausage, corn, and udon in it as well. Pork belly with green onions was also really good but it got cold fast, I recommend eating it fresh. Kimchi pancake was solid, big and good amount of crisp. Fried chicken gizzard was crispy and yummy, came with 2 sauces that I didn't prefer but I dipped it in the rose tteokbokki sauce + kimchi pancake sauce instead. ”

“ The service is so good and they're quick with it which I loveddd! The ambiance gives fun night out, the vibes are so fun and I loved the lighting. The music was a little too loud so we couldn't hear each other, but it was fun lol! The food.... Yalll!!!!!!! The rosé sauce is so good! Highly recommend trying it. Can't wait to go back and try more! ”

“ I absolutely loved JJAN! At first, I thought it was closed, but it turns out you can only enter from the back. There's a nice big parking lot with plenty of free parking which is a big plus in Koreatown! I was there at about 5:45 pm on a Friday and there was just one other table of four there. By the time we left at 7:15 PM, it was packed and people were waiting for a table. I'm really glad we got there early because we had a nice cozy table in a corner. It was perfect because it was a first date! The only downside is I didn't like the music so much. Other than that, it was perfect. Our server was really pleasant. He took our drink orders and got the food out to us quickly. That was the only time we saw him, though. I had to track him down to settle the bill. Super nice guy, though. He was busy handling a lot of other things. We had the Spicy Rice Cake, $10.99, and the Seafood Pancake, $18.99. Both were delicious and the portions were plentiful. They have a happy hour menu but it's not very extensive. The beer deal is a liter pitcher of Coors Lite for $17. I had a Terra for $10.99 and my friend had rice wine on the happy hour menu for $10.99. When I was leaving, I saw they had frozen beer. Had I known, I might have tried it! I love the dark ambiance of the place with lights strung along the ceiling. Again, the only thing I didn't like was the music, but it got better when it was crowded because I could barely hear it. Oh yeah, they have a couple of small TV screens. They had a UFC fight showing on it. I would absolutely go back here. Especially because it feels like a hideaway! Get there early if you want a good table and don't want to wait. They open at 5:00 PM. ”
