Got seated here immediately on a Thursday night! This place is great for drinking and just hanging out with friends after a long week.The apple frosted beer is delicious, I'd recommend stirring it together for the best taste. 420 Corn Cheese was also great, except the hot Cheetos that came on top of the dish were slightly stale. The steamed squid comes with three different dipping sauces. This dish comfortably fed me and my boyfriend. I do wish it came with vegetables to wrap the squid in. The green onion pork belly was probably the least favorite dish that we ordered, some pieces were burnt/overcooked/too dry. If you come here, definitely try the rose rice cake. It comes with corn, fish cake, sausage, and udon noodles. It is a mix of both creamy and spicy. This dish is definitely shareable amongst three people. I do think some menu items have prices that are a little steep, so that is probably what'd prevent me from coming back again. I feel like most dishes here could feed a maximum of 4 people, so take that into consideration when coming here with a larger group.

came here to pregame with friends before a concert and was pleasantly surprised. the food was great. definitely greasy but i enjoyed it. my fave of the night were the stir fried intestines. i would definitely come back here before.parking is a bit sus as it's not in the best neighborhood but i didn't have any issues. the vibes here were great as everyone is drinking and having a good time. service was good as well. the only thing is the tables and seats are a bit close to one another but it adds to the party vibe i guess LOL

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 was amazing with unique items on the menu. I personally really liked the large intestine. We also ordered fries, fried chicken, spicy rice cake with ramen, and pork belly with green onion. Service was good and our waiter was nice. This place isn't too crowded and a good hangout spot with friends. There is a parking lot in the back so it was not difficult at all to find parking. Would 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.

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.

This gastropub is one of my favorites. The atmosphere when you enter is a laid back bar. The music is upbeat but not in your face. They play mostly korean music but also some top 100.The staff are very welcoming, and it is easy to call for them, since they have a bell that brings the wait staff to your table. I find it quite efficient. But JJAN is not known only for being a bar. Their food is what sets this place apart from the rest. Their rose tteokbokki is by far the best item on the menu. It's creamy, sweet and tickles of spicy towards the end. It gives a cheesy consistency without the cheesy feel. Eating it makes me feel like I'm in a warm bed on a cold night, nice and cozy. I could eat this again and again. I also had the claypot spicy chicken stew. That was good but not as enjoyable. The chicken was overcooked, and the stew was spicy and hot, overwhelming your palate with its spice. It is great for the sinuses while hot. However once the soup cools, the sauce is very sweet, and it bursts with flavor. Very interesting and divisive food when hot and cold.I brought my friend here, and as you can tell from the photos, we couldn't finish. The meal is on the pricier side, but if you think of a meal as two, it is well worth the money.
