Jong Ga Korean - Burnaby

This was our first visit to Jong Ga we went for dinner, arriving at just after 5pm (a Tuesday .  Upon entering, we found the place about half full of customers, and it was very active throughout the course of our meal, with new people coming in, and others leaving.  Our first impression 'wow, looks like this is a popular place '.  <br/ <br/ The service was good, and despite how busy the two servers were kept, they were always friendly, and accommodating.  Even our several initial questions regarding some of the menu items, were answered without any  hesitation on their part we felt welcomed, and thought they were being very helpful.<br/ <br/ Now to the food, and 'wow ', it was tasty!!  <br/ <br/ What we ordered:  and it came with a great selection of banchan kimchi (sure good, but spicy hot! , pieces of potatoes (don 't know how they were prepared, but were sure yummy! , slices of marinated zucchini, and bean sprouts (both yum! and tea.  The banchan was 'the ' best we 've been served at the Korean restaurants we 've tried to date!!<br/ <br/   dol sot bibimbab hot stone bowl rice, with ground beef, an assortment of fresh vegetables, sesame oil, egg, and hot pepper sauce on the side (with some tofu, hot sauce, etc. .    <br/ <br/   ox knee soup meat tendon, green onion, and vermicelli noodles, in a  light stock, it came with rice (with a choice of stone bowl or regular steamed , and a side dish of a soya based sauce.<br/ <br/ Everything (banchan, entrees, and side dishes of sauces was so fresh, colourful, well prepared and presented, and so tasty, and all was served piping hot to our table.  We appreciated the mild level of spicing of what we ordered with the hot sauces provided as side dishes to the entrees, they could then be used as much as desired.  <br/ <br/ This was our first taste of these particular dishes, and I believe we ordered well.  I had read much about bibimbab, now after seeing it in person, and tasting it, can understand why it 's such a popular Korean dish I so enjoyed it!  The soup was good, but not a particular dish I would likely order again.  But for this dining, it seemed to complement the other dish.      <br/ <br/ Jong Ga was a busy little place, but we never once felt rushed, in fact, we felt very relaxed, and took our time to fully enjoy the meal and dining experience.  And we sure did!!  For us, Jong Ga will definitely be a 'must return to ' place!!

The Jong Ga restaurant on the North Road is a great place for lunch or dinner and is  a neighborhood  favourite. Delicious traditional Korean food, generous portions, fast and friendly service make this place a winner. If you are not noodle savvy, you've come to the right place. Nobody will laugh at you when your noodle slides off your chopsticks on to the floor. The BIA summer students give this restaurant two thumbs up!!! The picture is one of their signature dishes, served in a sizzling hot pot. It might be a great idea to go early because the restaurant gets packed pretty quickly.

It is a great little restaurant serving authentic Korean food. I am impressed from the first visit we ordered beef soup and spicy cold noodle, they were decent portion and very delicious. Couldn't be happier!

Hello friends! If you’re a long-standing follower of my blog, you’d know that Jong Ga has been one of my favorite Korean restaurants ever since it opened a few years ago. I hadn’t been there for over a year so I decided to go there for lunch with Old bean and Mother deer. From what I remember, they used to have a flip menu but now they have a one-sheeter that’s double sided. I liked that they added photos of all the food items on there so you know what to expect when the food comes to the table

Came here for lunch on a Saturday. There were a few tables occupied but not full. The menu was simple. We tried a cold noodle dish and the chicken with rice. Both were reasonably flavorful and also in portion sizes.
