Jomaru Hot Pot San Diego 조마루 | Korean Restaurant

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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!
