Our first time eating here. We ordered the pork hotpot and seafood pancakes. Everything was delicious including the sides. The only thing that we would improve is to serve the pork bones with more meat or at least have more meat in the hot pot.

Delicious authentic Korean food! Had Hot Stone Bibimbap and it was really nice. Cant wait to go back with my husband soon!

Our first time having korean hot pot and it was really tasty! We ordered the Gam-Ja-Tang with add-on udon and seasoned napa cabbage. The pork was fall off the bone soft and the vegetables were fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a very enjoyable experience.

One of my favorite place in Convoy! Love the potato, potato pasta, and the seafood pancake.

First time dining here and we visited during Friday night dinner time. We were pleased to find out there was plenty of available parking. The strip mall which JKHP is located in depending on the day/time of week can be VERY difficult to park. We were given one of their booths and promptly served their complimentary Korean side dishes plus our water for the table. We had done a little Yelp research in JKHP prior to driving here and was pretty sure we were going to order their Galbi (grilled beef short ribs) and their Pork Cutlet. After mulling over their menu, we stuck to our original plan and ordered those two dishes mentioned. Wow, we were more than impressed with the taste, freshness, and portion size. Their dining room was clean and orderly, we were checked on by the wait staff regularly. They accept AMEX as a form of payment. We can’t wait to return to try other menu items such as their Bulgogi & Bi Bim Bap.

Our female server was very friendly and attentive, refilling side dishes often. The banchan was really fresh and tasty (great kimchi and potatoes!). They have combos so you can have it all! We got tofu stew + bossam, bulgogi (good portion + marinade - not too sweet) and dolsot bibimbap (nice and crispy). Everything was satisfying with extra veggies in all the dishes. Portions were large enough for leftovers.

The food is incredibly delicious and the portions are great!! We had 3 items that we chose from and couldn’t finish it all. Our server Sally was amazing and sweet. Definitely will be back (:

This is our go-to place for gamjatang. Warm, savory, delicious, it is everything you could want. I bring my parents, who are native South Koreans, here whenever they come for a visit, and they always enjoy it as well

YOU WILL NOT REGRET! Came here with my buddy and we were super hungry. We first shared a corn cheese then we each got a soup. I got the spicy tofu soup and it had the whole ocean in there a big variety ! My buddy got the ox bone suit and loved it bc the brisket slices had so much flavor. Their sides were amazing. We shared the bulgogi over rice both loved it. But our favorite item was the Galbi, which is marinated short rib in a steamed pot get it trust me. Service is good restaurant is clean. Definitely coming back here.

I've been to Jomaru a few times and it never dissapoints! They have some of the most authentic Korean Dishes in San Diego and for a world wide chain restaurant, they maintain their quality at both locations! The walls have descriptions of the meals with images that make you want to try everything. There's seating a lot of seating while also being very spacious inside. We started off with the Corn Cheese, the Fried Pork Dumings, Boo-Cho-Jun (Scalion Pancake) and then ordered the Hae Jang Guk. The Corn Cheese was the best I have ever had and this was my first time having it at this location. Im never impressed with corn cheese but here, it was perfectly melted cheese and amazing seasoning! The Fried Pork Dumplings were nicely fried and the meat and glass noodles along with the seasoning inside were just perfect! Chef's kiss! The Boo-Chu-Jun (Scallion Pancake) was also very flavorful ns nicely dense but not to heavy either. The Hae Jang Guk came out boiling hot which I really love and appreciate about Korean Dishes, and the flavor was perfect! The amount of flavor, spicy and kimchi in it was so well balanced and the meat was so tender and high quality, it was just a perfect soup for these recent cold days! Overall, Jomaru is a go to for me and I'd recommend it to all my friends or visiting friends in town.

The staff was very friendly and efficient. I like that they generously offered us more banchan as well as more broth for our gamjatang. Hot pot on a chilly night? 🙌 Yesssss, please! The Sesame Leaves Seafood Pancake with shrimp, calamari and sesame leaves was delicious as well!

What an experience! So I’ve never had Korean Hot Pot before and a friend recommended this place to me… normally with Korean cuisine I’m used to BBQ or Bulgogi, so I was excited to try a place that offered something different. First off, the service was impeccable and guided us through the meal. It was also nice not to have to wait to be seated (party of 5). This place is rather casual. We order the Spicy Pork Bone Stew which came with numerous bonchons. The broth was fantastic! Spicy, but not so much so. The pork bones were delicious; covered in tender meat with the bones still present; basically the pork version of Hamachi Kama… Anyways, huge fan and will definitely return the next time I’m in SD!!!

The broth had a deep, rich flavor, and the meat was cooked really well super tender and fell right off the bone. We added rice cakes instead of getting fried rice, and they were great. The service was also really good. They refilled the broth quickly, so we were able to enjoy even more. Overall, delicious gamjatang and friendly service. I definitely recommend it.

Appreciate the sweet service by the staff tonight. We are regulars here and the staff today was exceptionally considerate - he’d bring over more napkins (we have a toddler), and check if we wanted more side dishes BEFORE we asked 🥹 In the end, he packed up our leftover gamjatang FOR US! Forgot to ask for his name but thank you, young Asian male server!

Really great food, atmosphere and service... Not too crowded if you arrive early, and definitely worth the wait. Parking is kinda tough though!

This place is amazing. The food was delicious. The server recommendations were perfect, and overall experience was exceptional. This was my first time here and I'll definitely be coming back.

What a wonderful meal tonight at Jomaru! My friend and I love Korean pork bone hotpot. We found this new opened spot from a lot of people’s recommendations. We ordered a medium size pork bone hotpot and a chive pancake. The size is pretty big, we didn’t really finish all. These amount of food can feed 3 girls. But all the food are so amazing. We loved all the things on our table, especially the pork bone hotpot. There are a lot of meats on the bone, they are so soft and flavorful. The meats are falling apart from the bone. I love the amount of fat on the meat to make it so satisfying. I highly recommend this restaurant!

So so so so delicious! We loved being there. We felt welcomed and invited to go in, loved the fact that the menu is not huge with so many options because you can tell that they are great at what they do. We ordered the spicy pork stew (Large) and the seafood pancake (hemul jeon and the Gam ja tang) so good and is not crazy spicy. It was a bit too much food for the 4 of us all girls. Totally recommend and invited to come back! Loved it!

If you’re not used to a hot pot, or never tried, they have comfort Korean dishes available to order. Since there was 3 of us we ordered a medium of the recommended spicy pork bone soup and an order or Bibimbap. Note that Korean food is a spicy for the average taste so expect full flavor. Also with your order Korean dishes tend to serve a complimentary appetizer of “banchan” or Korean vegetable side dishes. The ambiance feels like your at right home in a South Korean restaurant.

Jomaru Gamjatang Korean Hot Pot San Diego, California Chuck and I had dined at a few Hot Pot Restaurants recently. Most of those were Japanese or Chinese Hot Pots. We have never tried a Korean Hot Pot Restaurant before so we decided to try Jomaru which is a franchise from South Korea. The restaurant was decorated nicely and the tables had induction burners for the Hot Pot. The service was excellent and our waitress was very informative and very friendly. She explained in detail the menu items for the Hot Pot and there were several you can choose from. She was very attentive and also very personable. The prices were very reasonable for a Hot Pot Restaurant. $40.00 for a medium Hot Pot for two and $55.00 for a large Hot Pot for three people. Since this was our first time we decided to order their most popular Hot Pot which was Gam Ja Tang which is a Spicy Pork Bone Soup. Before we receive our Banchan which were all delicious. I especially loved the Kimchi and the Korean pepper. Along with the Hot Pot dish you can order several "Add On" items such as Ramen, Udon, Potato Pasta, etc. We decided to get the Seasoned Napa Cabbage, Ramen, and Fried Rice which is served near the end of the meal. All those were a great and delicious accompaniment to the Hot Pot. The Hot Pot was filled with lots of meat, mushrooms, Perilla Leaves, Potato, and some other vegetables. The Broth was delicious and just had enough spice or heat to tickle your throat. The meat was tender. The fried rice came near the end if the meal which was also delicious. You can also order some of thier specialty dishes which is found on the other side of the Menu. You will find Bulgogi, Bibimpap, Pork Cutlet, California, etc. Overall I would definitely return to dine here. The service was fantastic and the food delicious

The experience and food tonight by was so good! We ordered the pork tonkotsu, spicy pork bone broth, and galbi. Everything came out really fast, food was fresh and crispy. We were extremely satisfied! The portions were huge so we probably have leftovers for at least a few more meals. Would 10/10 recommend!

Got the Soup and an order of Bossam. It was pretty good. Would recommend getting here early or you might have to park a little far and walk .

Delicious but high price. Especially additional menu is too expensive. Everything was good except the price.

The bulgogi combo was a great dish to try a few different items! The bulgogi meat was tender, juicy and marinated very well! The cold noodles weren't bad but did not have much flavor and the sauces for them were not too great if you are not into wasabi or horseradish, but don't let that turn you off to this combo, it was still a really good deal in my opinion. The scallion pancake was also fried to perfection and had a very dynamic flavor! Definitely try this place out if you want authentic Korean food and next time I'll be trying their famous hot pot!

Our family is all satisfied with GamJaTang and Galbi. If you order GamJaTang, add some sesame seeds in the soup and boil it enough time.

Friendly service and quick seating with good eats. I would return to try their other dishes. A large hotpot gives only 3 rice portions so with a fourth person, adding ramen closes the gap.

This restaurant is said to be a branch from Korea, and the interior definitely feels authentically Korean. It’s very clean, and the walls are filled with photos of Korean celebrities, so it really seems like a place that’s also popular in Korea. The side dishes were delicious too—especially the potatoes. The seasoning was so good that we asked for extra several times! For the main dish, we ordered their signature pork bone soup. The broth was rich and flavorful, and you can adjust the spice level if you want it spicy. All the ingredients were very fresh. The pork bones were cooked until the meat was super tender, and the portions were huge—more than enough for two people. We couldn’t finish it and ended up taking the rest home. It was very satisfying. The staff helped with cooking and explained the dishes, making the whole dining experience really pleasant. Overall, it’s definitely worth a try! Great flavor, generous portions, and a must-visit spot for anyone who loves pork bone soup.

The taste was pretty good! Just average for Korean food! This spicy pork stone pot rice wasn't particularly amazing! But it was alright.

Hot soup is generlly nice. Such a nice option for those who love Korean style tang menu. However, tonkatsu is not a good choice on the menu of Gamjatang place. It tastes a bit overcooked. They did kindly provide the new one, but it tasted slightly overcooked again. Maybe the oil was the problem. Anyway, I highly recommend this place for Gamjatang.

Gam Ja Tang (Pork Spine Bone & Potato Soup) is their famous and signature dish. It is pretty awesome. You are supposed to do a fried rice (with cheese) on the same pan to finish your meal, and that is indeed the way to go. BUT, I made the mistake of not finishing everything, all the soup (with meat that I spent 5 minutes to pick out), and they actually threw those away to put in the fried rice (I veru much regretted that). Otherwise, its an overall good experience (both food & service)

I visited on the first day of soft opening . The staff was friendly and the restaurant was very clean (of course because it just opened). I ordered a Medium (for 3 ppl) Gam-ja Tang in hot pot and it was actually enough for two. Gam-ja tang tasted fine but I wish they provided more soup. The restaurant has electric inductions installed instead of gas, so they cooked the fried rice separately in the kitchen then brought it to us. The fried rice was $8 but it disappointing. I would come back to try Hae Jang Gul next time but probably wait for the restaurant to settle down to try Gam-ja tang hot pot again.

I ordered the Pork bone hotpot and cheese fried rice from the recommended list some people posted but the food was disappointing. The portion of calamari was little , and one of the staff interrupted my sentence when I asked for some side dishes refill by saying ‘wait!’. So I didn’t like the service or the food and especially when the food wasn’t cheap.

Food is really good but customer service is not the best . Took 15 -20 min to get our order and it wasn't even busy, had to get the server attention to get our order and she didn't seem very happy about it . Server never came to ask if everything was ok or anything never gave us water refills or any refills whosoever. I really like the food but I notice that all the time I go the customer service is not the best .

Despite having high expectations for the flavor, particularly the ox broth soup, the dish was disappointing. The Bulgogi is pretty good 👍

I tried the Korean Gamja-tang and it really upset my stomach.I've been running to the bathroom non-stop. So, this restaurant is off my list for good.

We went because the place had great reviews, but honestly, it was just okay. The food was fine, nothing special, but good enough. The Korean pancake seemed to have shrimp and squid in it, but they were chopped so finely that it was hard to tell. The service wasn’t as good as people said, either. The staff didn’t seem very friendly.

My husband just picked it up. It leaked so much in the plastic bag. Idk how they pack it but it should’ve been sealed better than this. I’m upset because now I need to clean up this mess before I eat food. We leave 25min away so we can’t drive back too. Paid so much for this mess. AND We paid extra for rice cakes and potatos.but they weren’t in the soup. They gave us in different bowls raw. I’m not going back again.

I have been going to Jomaru in Convoy regularly since they first opened. I will stop going. Their prices have steadily gone up while the portion size keeps getting smaller. Get Gamjatang at Chon Ju Jip down the street instead. Price is more reasonable, portions are bigger.

It's rare that I don't like food that I've ordered but this was not good at all. Made me feel sick from just eating it (didn't get food poisoning or anything it was just not good)

If I could give this restaurant a negative 0 review I would. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. My family and I wanted to try a new restaurant and We were treated like low class citizens from the moment we walked in the door. We are not Korean, but didn’t see anywhere that that was a requirement to eat at this establishment. The waitress was rude and treated us like crap from the moment we walked in. Never asked if we wanted anything to drink. Never gave us menus, we happened to have One at the table. We had to call her over to tell her we were new to the experience and asked if she could explain how the menu worked. She hastily did and then walked away, again, never asking if we wanted drinks or an appetizer. We finally ordered and got our food, which again, we had to ask how it worked but eventually just tried to figure it out. We wanted and ordered fried rice with the meal. She told us it came at the end of the meal. So we ate, which she never came by to see how it was or if we needed anything. Finally we said we would like our fried rice (our kids were looking forward to that part the entire meal). She hemmed and hawed and called another server over. We said, we Just Want Our Fried Rice. Our kids want the Fried Rice. They acted as if we asked for something not on the menu. It was horrible. I finally just said please get me our bill, we are leaving. Then she tried to charge us for the fried rice!!!!!! I was livid by this time. We paid and got up and left. Such a horrible place. Just bc you aren’t Korean, doesn’t mean you can’t eat at a Korean restaurant. Your service was horrible and rude and, thus, made our entire family uncomfortable and we were unable to enjoy any of the food. In addition, we all got sick and had stomach issues after the meal. Worst experience Ever. Shame on you as a restaurant.
