" Every dish we ordered at JJamPPong was absolutely delicious! The marinated crab was the highlight, very fresh and flavor-packed. I also really loved the fried chicken; crispy and a great mix of garlic. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, and we felt right at home. Remember to save room, as the portions here are generous. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first attempt at Korean-Chinese cuisine went very well at JJamPPong. The spicy crab was incredible, unexpectedly spicy yet balanced well with the rice. I also tried their tangsuyuk, and it left a lasting impression too. Service was attentive, and the home-style atmosphere made it feel welcoming. I would recommend making a reservation since it can get busy. Can't wait to introduce more friends to this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a decent time at JJamPPong. The food was good, especially the jjamppong, which had a nice kick to it. I did find the raw crab a bit too spicy for my taste, but if you enjoy heat, you'll love it. Service was attentive; I appreciated the warm approach of the staff. Just a tip, parking can be tricky, so plan accordingly. Overall, I liked the place and would recommend trying it, especially if you enjoy authentic Korean options! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently experienced JJamPPong after hearing so many wonderful things, and it truly lived up to my expectations! The raw marinated crab was delicious, with such intense flavors that I did not want it to end! Their seafood jjamppong was equally a hit, plenty of seafood packed into the bowl. I was impressed by the warmth of the staff and the cozy atmosphere. This restaurant earns a high recommendation, especially for seafood lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon JJamPPong while searching for some authentic Korean food, and I was really happy with my choice! The spicy raw crab was deliciously marinated and very fresh. I appreciated the gloves they provided to eat it. The jajangmyeon was tasty; however, I felt it could use a bit more seasoning. The service was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was homely. Just a heads up, parking can be a hassle, but the food makes it worth the trip every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful experience! JJamPPong has something for everyone! I tried the spicy raw crab and was thrilled with the taste; it had the perfect zing and sweetness. The jjamppong was rich and spicy without overpowering the palate. Friendly service staff who made sure we were well taken care of. The only downside was the limited seating, but totally worth waiting for a table! I'll be visiting again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for authentic Korean-Chinese cuisine, JJamPPong is the place to be! The spicy raw crab is phenomenal - very fresh and bursting with flavor, but do be careful, it can shock the taste buds if you're not used to heat! I also had the seafood jjamppong - very warming and good. Service was prompt and friendly, but expect a wait during busy times. The seating is cozy, and it adds to the atmosphere. Can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)
