Ham Ji Bak

Update Feb 25, 2023: went with a friend last night around 7:45pm and we got a table right away. We ordered black bean noodle, and sweet spicy chicken . They were delicious! Service was friendly and fast. — The best place to go… they changed ownership in august 2022. Definitely recommend it! Jjampong is amazing!!

I love this place. Straight up. When they shut down in Surrey, I was devastated. I would regularly drive 30 minutes just to eat there and drive back. Its open fairly close now and I am ecstatic. I can only really give a review for the jja-jjang-myun cause that's my fav, especially at this place. Simply explained, the chun-jang is properly prepared here and balanced. By comparison, if you go to other Korean-Chinese restaurants, they cater to western tastes: too sweet. This is legit, Korean style - reminds me of the jjajangs I had in my hometown Shinsa. Stronger savoriness/saltiness than sweetness. There's only 3 places that grabs that really right and this is one of the locales. Other is in Van and Surrey but I mean this place is phenom so why me worry? Shoutout to the servers as well. Top notch service heeelllla Korean hahaha I love it.

Not sure if they have different chefs working in that restaurant but when I went there with my fam they were all pretty below average. The only thing that I would say was good is tangsooyook. jjajang was pretty blend and jjjanbong? was okayish. The most horrific menu was deep-fried dumplings; they had a really weird aftertaste. Added the photos that were left even though we were all starving to death after 5 hours of extensive water sports. And the food service was so disorganized! Had to call them over multiple times to ask them for the same thing.

Visited here twice. Really good food, especially the Jjamppong and Jajangmyeon. As a noodles lover, I have to say they have very high quality noodles. I don’t usually eat spicy food, but their Jjamppong is of a very rich flavour instead of simply “spicy”. Definitely recommend.

The comments are really diverse I guess they have two chefs work different time? I have to say taste is below average, but staff are friendly.

We have been here 3 times and the food is always great. Has become my favorite Korean Chinese food restaurant.Food: 4/5

This place was great! The food was amazing, and the portions were huge! I am surprised that not a lot of people eat here.

Husband and I ordered the combo set and everything was amazing!Would definitely recommend and we will be coming back

The portions are generous and the food are delicious. We tried combo B with the jjajangmyeon, jjambong and sweet and spicy chicken. Definitely one of the best Korean-Chinese food places around metro vancouver!Food: 5/5

We came here for the first time and were delighted! Had Gan Jjajang and Jjamppong and both were fantastic. Gan Jjajang was not greasy - just perfect - and Jjamppong came with tons of fresh seafood. Service was so great too - very attentive. Will definitely come back!
