Jujung 주정 Korean Izakaya – Modern izakaya restaurant in New …
Reviews
Service 4.5/5
Ambiance 4.25/5
Stumbled upon a new spot in Pal Park and was pleasantly surprised by how nice and intimate the ambiance felt. Not sure why it has so many negative Yelp reviews, the food was actually pretty decent overall.
The name Izakaya feels a bit misleading. When I think izakaya, I expect skewers and small plates, but this place felt more like a pocha. That said, the interior was cozy, spacious, and comfortable.
Tonkatsu Toowoomba Pasta (4/5): Creamy and satisfying, nothing mind-blowing, but solid and comforting. It does lean heavy, but I liked that there was extra protein beyond the katsu, with shrimp and bacon added in.
Sake-Braised Clam Pasta (2.5/5): The sake flavor completely overpowered the dish. I didn’t realize I disliked sake-braised seafood until trying this, definitely not for me.
Scallion Chicken Pancake (4/5): Really tasty, though it didn’t feel much like a pancake, more like fried, battered chicken. The ponzu style sauce paired well flavor wise, but since it’s poured on, it made the dish very soggy. Would definitely recommend having the sauce on the side.
-Ambiance (4/5): It’s a Korean PoCha. The interia deco is moden and clean
-Service (3/5): I guess it can get real hectic after 9pm. There is a bell on the table, but not sure if this thing works well. I didn’t get an immediate response
-Food: Some are really great – Tonkatsu Toowoomba Pasta (5/5), Nagasaki Jjamppong w/ Crispy Rice (4/5), Honey Butter Sweet Potato Chips (3/5)
Summary: It’s a decent Korean PoCha, and I will definitely come back to try different dishes
We ordered the beef shabu, spicy chicken stew and the clam pasta and the amount of chicken and beef you get is impressive
Atmosphere and service was nice. A bit busy and a bit chaotic but that’s not bad as it was full of life and bustling.
The food was kind of a mixed bag.
The fried tofu kimichi was a bit too much for me as it was too greasy due to being fried and having bacon. I believe they had an option for regular tofu, if so I would have picked that. Even with some drinks unfortunately it felt that the tofu absorbed too much grease.
The takoyaki was surprisingly good. The shape was small so I assumed it wasn’t going to be another middle of the road takoyaki. But again it was good with fairly good sized chuncks of octopus and a good amount of katsuobushi. Alot of places skimpout on takoyaki but I was really happy to bite into a nicely filled takoyaki.
Finally I got the karaage sampler platter. I believe it was the oysters that were my least favorite as it had this really mushy texture that wasn’t my personal style. But everything else was really good. I loved the crispness of the shrimp tempura, the flavor of the octopus, and the other pieces were just nice. The white sauce was also great making it feel not as heavy and cutting some of the greasyness. I would say tho it needs to be eaten rather fast as it kinda got soggy after it was cooling down. But would highly recommend.
Overall I had a rather good time. I also felt that the food was a little pricy but overall decent value. Next time I plan to try the signatures foods and some other drinks and hope they live up to this level of expectation.
Edit: At this point I have dined at Jujung a few more times and feel my initial assessment is the one I’m sticking with. The food can be good depending on what you get and the drinks are nice. It’s a cool place to hang out and grab some light food with some drinks.
Food was solid. Went with the spicy pork belly udon—flavor hit, texture hit, balance was right. Fried octopus? Crispy, clean, not overdone. Jjamppong had real depth too— broth that didn’t need to scream to make a point.
Service was chill, not overly talkative, which I appreciate. Let me enjoy the night without hovering. Music and energy were in the background—low hum, not trying to impress anyone. Just how I like it.
This is a sort of place where you bring people who get it. Or you roll solo and let the room meet you where you’re at. Either way, I’ll be back.
It is pretty dark inside and their decor is very modern. They somehow still manage to make it feel more private with these hanging leaves that separates certain tables. Definitely not cramped and I love the little lamps they have at each table.
I’ve tried their high ball, bulgogi yakisoba, tuna tataki, and karaage sampler and the portion sizes and taste do not disappoint.
Service pretty efficient and quick. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this place.
