Went here a year ago, the 2.99 deal sounds good until you realize the portions are tiny and you need to order a minimum of 2 so its really 5.98 a person. The food was okay … the regular jajamyung at 6.99 was actually better since it was unlimited noodles.

After watching«Castaway on the Moon», this place really hit the spot. Though I will add that I ordered to-go, and it would have been nice if the noodles were warmer. The great thing though is that even if it’s to-go, it comes in a huge plastic bowl. Freakin’ awesome. Also, if they changed their name to «Jin Jja Roo», I’d be here more often.

They’re advertising a new special menu. $ 2.99 for a small portion of the following: Jjambbong Jjajangmyun Kung Pao Shrimp Kung Pao Chicken Sweet & sour beef Orange Chicken And 2 more which I can’t seem to remember… The portions were good sized, but unfortunately lacked in flavor. Decent, but not memorable by any means. I really wanted to like this place because the owner was just so nice. I’d recommend if you just want a little bit of everything!

I like this place! The service is courteous, the restaurant is clean, and the portions are large(especially the jiang bong — spicy seafood noodle soup). It’s true, I have had amaaaaaaaaazing Koreanized Chinese food. And while my favorite place by far is up in the Bay Area, Jja Jang Roo was quite satisfying and a place I see myself returning to again. My family and I shared the typical Jja Jang Myun, Jiang Bong, and Tang Soo Yook. It was delicious =)

Was craving $ 3.99 jja jang myun but found out my favorite hole-in-the-wall closed and there was a owner/restaurant name change. This place also serves Korean-style Chinese food. The menu has been oversimplified and your options are limited to: –Jja jang myun, noodles in black soybean paste, derived from the Chinese dish zha jiang mian($ 6.99) –Seafood jjambbong, spicy seafood/meat stew w/noodles($ 9.99) –Pan fried seafood jja jang myun(12.99) –Tang Soo Yuk(fried pork/beef/chicken in a sweet and sour sauce) — price ranges from $ 9.99 to 16.99 based on size Their Tang Soo Yuk portion was a bit weak but their noodle bowls were gigantic. I barely finished half of mine and my guy friend(who happens to eat like a vacuum cleaner) BARELY finished his whole bowl, and most of the fried pork. The yellow radish they served on the side was a bit dry. Wish they also offered some Korean Chinese-style kimchi. I’ve had some amazing jja jang myun before so I might just have high expectations. But this place is definitely worth a try. 3.5 stars.
