It was just... fine — the service was nice, but nothing we ate wowed us. Don't get the Bimbibab; for $22, it's a shallow bowl of piddling rice and meat. Chicken jjim is better, but $3 for extra thin layer cheese feels dramatic.

Came in for a Friday lunch a little bit after opening, I was the only person in there. Decent food, good service. Bibimbap was good, would try other dishes if I am in the area again.

I recently visited Jijime and wanted to share my experience. This place turned out to be a real gem, especially for Korean cuisine without meat. I tried several dishes, and each one exceeded my expectations. The bibimbap with vegetables and seafood was perfectly balanced, with vibrant ingredients and a delicious sauce. The seafood ramen was simply amazing: a delicate broth, tender noodles, and fresh seafood. What impressed me most was how each dish highlighted the freshness of the ingredients and the perfect balance of spices. The fried tofu with kimchi was a real standout, with its perfect mix of spiciness and umami — ideal for those who enjoy vegetarian cuisine. For dessert, I had the mango panna cotta, which was light and airy, with a natural mango flavor. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help with recommendations. It’s also great that the menu offers vegan options and gluten-free dishes, making it suitable for everyone. The restaurant is perfect for both a light lunch and a more hearty dinner with friends. All dishes are served with attention to detail and quality, leaving only positive impressions. If you love Korean cuisine without meat but with fish and seafood, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be back next time to try something new and just as delicious!

The Korean food here is delicious! They put a twist in it as it is a fusion concept, making it interesting. Parking may be challenging along Geary, but the neighborhood offers a lot of parking spaces. Also, the walk to the restaurant helps your build the appetite. I ordered the bibimbap bowl topped with beef bulgogi. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Not bad fusion style of Korean food use Costco mini wontons but mixed it with other ingredients which tastes good ?

This was a great ramen spot. I had the spicy Tonkotsu ramen without green onions, and everything was cooked to perfection. The pork bone broth was incredibly rich and comforting, especially on a foggy day. The service was attentive and friendly.

My family and I went to this place and we were all blown away by the food and the service. Everything was delicious and we were attended to pretty fast. I got the pork belly buns and the pork belly platter. It came sizzling ? My mom got a tea and the packaging was so cute! It’s dark in there so make sure to leave quickly before you take a nap from the food coma ?

We ordered the Spicy Boneless Chicken and the Vegetarian Sizzling Bibimbap. Both the dishes were very flavorful and outstanding.
So many vegetarian options. We are definitely coming back to try more dishes.
