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!

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!

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!

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

Daniella Corrales

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!

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
