Jumping Spoon

I was in the area, and decided to try Jumping Spoon. It is located on a corner lot. I went in during lunchtime during the week. There was one person taking orders, and 7 or 8 people sitting inside with friends eating lunch. They package all of their meals to go, however, if you want to eat in their dining room, you can. Their BBQ Ribs come with rice, rice noodles, and wonton.I was surprised to see that a salad was included bean sprouts, fish cake, potato salad, broccoli, and marinated golden bell peppers. My ribs were not as hot as I would have liked, but their flavor was good.

I used to go here all the time, but the food has changed after COVID. The Dak Bulgogi used to come out sizzling on the plate and full of sauce and flavor. Now it’s barely warm and is just bland pieces of chicken. I think their chef must have changed, but I don’t think I’ll be going back until the food quality goes back up. They also haven’t re-instated their happy hour which was nice before.

The food is tasteful. Nothing was overly salty. The bulgogi was very flavorful. The Japchae noodles were a bit chewier than I'm used to. The wings were almost too heavy on the honey (or whatever sweetener they use). Overall, the flavor is there and satisfying. Although it's common that Korean food is on the expensive side, I'm always shocked to see the final bill for the number of entrees we get.
