Jimoco Café & Pasta in Coquitlam

This is a great cozy mom and pops restaurant. it is Italian and Korean fusion. The service here is so good, food was comfort food, it wasn t bad but it wasn t the best Italian I have had. Would come back tho

Excellent seafood risotto and polpettine! I ordered online, and the quality was amazing can t imagine how good it must be in person. Highly recommend!

Cozy Family Style Soul food Friendly Food : 4/5 |

I had a amazing carbonara and my wife the risotto we recommended both. We might come back for sure

Went on the weekend with the fiancee. Been coming here for the past couple of years and always has been consistent. However, we noticed this time the portions have gotten smaller but still good. While payment, the waitress stood right beside the table waiting and watching us like a hawk placing pressure on us which made it really awkward, especially when figuring out the tip.

Great little place. Food was delicious and portions were more than enough.

Food was too salty that we just couldnt eat. Server asked if we wanted it re-cooked but we refused. It is not the place I used to know. Food

Great Pasta

How could you dislike a place that has unlimited garlic bread. Recommend the risotto!

I used to come to Jimoco a lot with my parents as a kid. I used to get the penne panna e prosciutto every time. And we would get the buy two get one takeout deal. This was my first time back in quite a long time and I ve found that the cafe has rebranded. They serve Korean style pasta now. I do feel a bit down because my favourite is gone now, but I thought the food was pretty nice. I ordered the truffle cream sauce which was nice but seemed more garlic and onion forward than truffle. The portions of pasta are still as big as ever though. I liked that there is an option of add ons too, though I think the amount of chicken you get isn t very big for an extra $5. The food isn t authentic Italian so if anyone comes by expecting that they aren t getting it. But it s fine, bc right down the street there is also The Golden Boot which will fit the needs of people looking for that. The staff are very nice & attentive, and the restaurant is very well kept.

Cinthia is the best. Best service and so nice to talk to. Made sure our food was nice and we were satisfied

Cinthia is amazing. Such great customer service she provided, me and my friends are thankful for. And yes the food, especially fettuccine alfredo pasta was amazing.

lovely ladies that work here! pasta and tiramisu were great

Great value and portions. Solid restaurant.

Delicious Italian Korean pastas and the size Is decently big and filling.

We got too excited for the pasta boat and we ate before taking a picture

I really wanted calamari and my favourite Greek place was closed for summer holidays. Decided to try something new I ordered the Rose Forno it was as delicious however the calamari wasn t edible. It was dry and flavourless. When I picked up my order I was greeted by a server and offered ice water. Which was very kind! I think I will try Jimco once more and skip the calamari.

Excellent food!!!

I always order by Ubereats, here is my favourite place. I always order Alfredo and Lasagna and its so gooood

Been coming to this place for many years and it still stands as my favourite Italian restaurant! Always love the Margherita pizza and the pasta Parma. The price is super reasonable as well

16 dollars for spaghetti and meatballs was a wonderful surprise, taste was very satisfactory. had a bit of the rose penne dish, perfectly cooked broccoli and some mushrooms. another amazing dish. the complimentary garlic bread is honestly nothing special but it s a good gesture to start the meal. 4/5 food wise and service was great. good playlist of songs but the atmosphere was slightly lacking. 100% recommend this hidden gem.

Amazing experience, great food, great service, we ll definitely become a regular here :)

Ordered DoorDash. SO FLIPPING DELICIOUS. Got the lasagna with meatballs and the carbonara with chicken and the cheese sticks. Absolutely delicious. Y all should open a place in Vancouver. So freaking good.

Awesome food, helpful, nice staff. Definitely recommended.

Really pleasantly surprised with food in this cafe. Its absolutely delicious and portions are fairly huge. Customer service is excellent too.

I had the linguine soul. Food was okay.

Love this place! Lasagna is amazing and very filling. Lots of options for whatever Italian food you fancy. Kid-friendliness: The booths have rather tall backs so it protects others from the noise well. Wheelchair accessibility: No button to open the door, but easy to get in.

Tried Carbonara and Meat lover, both very delicious!! Will come back to try the other spaghetti!!

Good

I always eat delicious food, so when I want pasta or risotto, I go to Jimoco. I came here today and ate there, and the service and taste of the food have changed a lot. First of all, I had linguine soul, seafood risotto, and Caesar salad, and I enjoyed the salad the most. Overall, the food was salty. In particular, the risotto was so salty that they had to make it again, but the second one was also salty. This is my first time making risotto at Jimoko. The server seemed to be working alone... but it was a bit weird when he took the salad I ordered, talked to other customers in the hall, and then gave it to me. I had to tell them a few times to get pickles and drinks too. The overall service was irritating... so I couldnt even ask for anything. Im upset because this is the first time Ive had a bad meal at Jimoco.

Yummy Italian Korean fusion pasta

This place was my favorite spot and a must go place if any of my friends are visiting coquitlam. However, I think the taste has changed? I ordered the linguini soul and the cream seafood risotto and I think it used to be more flavorful and more layers of taste. I believe there was more basil leaf before?

Squid ink pasta was really good. The clean vongole is okay, the clams are really small. I don t like the smell/taste of the Alfredo sauce

I ordered the Rose al forno, it was delicious, but we arrived just after 8 on a Saturday night to find out they were closing at 9! On a Saturday? Also I was disappointed to find out that they no longer offer the 2 for 1 pasta specials. I hadn t been back for a while but really disappointed in the changes that have been made since. Probably won t be going back.

Unassuming place with a limited but excellent menu. Fettuccine Alfredo, Aglio/Olio, and the Caprese Salad were really excellent!

good food, i order a carbonara before work and go

First time here. Very good experience. Had the Carbonara and caprese salad. Both presented very nicely and portions are large for the price - could not finish it and I consider myself a big eater. Service was quick and efficient. The one server was friendly and attentive. To my surprise, the chef was Korean - which would explain the choices for the Korean selections. The place is clean and atmosphere pleasant. The only recommendation I have is to maybe brinf the garlic bread out with the pasta instead of way before, be ause it became cold by the time my Carbonara came out. But I will definitely come back again to try their other dishes and will also recommend to friends. A most definite must-try for pasta lovers.

Non Professional staff, rude, and disrespectful.

Quality downgraded.

Favourite pasta place! All the dishes are so good.

Parking: Free parking spots at the back, accessed through alleyway Food

Ordered take out and I was not disappointed! Excellent portions and the flavor palette was perfect! Rarely I come across a place that cooks the pasta perfectly al dente so thank you for that! Looking forward to eating in sometime soon!

Food was awesome and service was nice.

This restaurant is labeled as Italian food but its actually Italian Korean fusion. If you go expecting traditional Italian pasta, youll be disappointed. My wife had the truffle oil cream pasta which was very creamy and had a nice truffle flavor. I had the meat lover pasta which had a generous amount of different meat. Only complaint is the pasta is overcooked, not a nice al dente and the bread was a bit stale.

I came here for dinner today with my family and had linguine soul and it was really delicious!! The man who served me was so kind and bright that it made me feel better haha. This is a place I want to come again next time!

The garlic bread was on a standard piece of toast with garlic butter only in the middle of the bread. I ordered the cream gnocchi and I could tell the sauce was made from a Kraft dinner packet, it was way too salty and just didn t taste great. I told the server what was wrong and I got an acknowledgment and no offer to order anything else, but asked if I wanted a box. I would say don t come here

Amazing food and great prices, used to be even cheaper.

This place is all about portion size and I love them for it!!! Im a big eater so any restaurant that ratio their price WELL with portion size is good in my books. ON TOP of that, their pasta tastes really good too. If you like creamy and spicy pasta, this is for you. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because I didnt expect the garlic bread to be just toast. Their customer service is really great too. We didnt wait too long for our food and the servers were really nice.

Garlic bread was half burned and breaks to the touch. Cheese sticks seem to be store-bought and air fried better buying them at the store and making them myself. The risotto was not bad though, I won t be eating here again.

Love this place. Delivery and dine in are both delicious

Affordable specialty pastas, delicious and served hot and fresh. No actual specialty coffees made here except their brewed one.

Good tasty food, nice waiters, free garlic toasts :)

An interesting concept. Korean-ish pasta that tastes authentically Italian AND Korean. Garlic toast (like Wonderbread) and Korean rice cakes in a rose sauce were odd but worked. Free gherkin pickles if you ask for them topped the weirdness. The decor doesn t really add to the experience, but everything was delicious so no complaints.

Did the chef change? I always order the bolognese, but today the pasta seemed overcooked, watery/oily, and a bit bland to be honest. Quite disappointed.

Lasagna was complete Mush. I will not order here again.

Everything is delicious, thank you.

Good atmosphere and delicious food tastes good

The linguine soul pasta was so delicious. Ill go eat something else next time!!

Kids love it so much Seafood risotto is so delicious

There is so good place I really love this restaurant. Food

ATMOSPHERE: 6/10 FOOD: 6/10 SERVICE: 8/10 Basically what you would expect from a pasta place. Not Pepino s tasting goodness and not like how you d make pasta at home with the canned sauce. We both ordered rose sauced items: one pasta and one gnocchi dish. The pasta was definitely better than the gnocchi and was cooked to an el dente level, but if you like your pasta softer then you probably wouldn t enjoy it as much. There is unlimited garlic bread that s complimentary but they were VERY stingy on the garlic butter AND the bread was barely toasted There weren t many depths or levels to the taste but if you want something yummy and a huge portion, it s a good place to be. There was no wait and was pretty empty - I heard that ever since they stopped they re 2 for 1 pricing it s been quite dead. The service was good and they were attentive which I would go back if I needed something quick and big portioned, but it really wouldn t be my first choice not is it a memorable meal in any way.

Great food

I visited a little early at 10:30 am. I fasted for the blood test and went to Jimoco right after the test. 1.Linguine Soul Spicy seafood hotpot It was perfect for my taste~ The bread and eggs on the side were also good~ Thank you for the friendly service~~

Food is a bit on the rich side for my taste (but I am vegetarian) very excellent values and they are always offering deals to locals! You definitely get a lot for the price and they are quick to cook and deliver.

yummy

The pizza is super thin and crispy, and the pasta is pretty flavorful but the atmosphere really sucks. Its a small stuffy restaurant with poor service.

A delicious meal as usual!

First time going to jimoco. Shocking how someone can t make a pasta taste good. very disappointed dissapointed and upset paying 20 bucks for a linguine polio pasta. I tried fo finish the pasta but couldnt. It was too salty and oily. I didnt take the by 1 get 1 free pasta to-go because it was not worth trying. Sorry but not sorry for giving real feedback on the pasta. It was so bad I paid in advance and just left without eating anymore of them

There pasta is very creamy. A little different than the typical Italian pasta but in a good way. Very much enjoyed it.

Portions are small. You get the same amount as kids meal.

Generous and fresh portion for a great value! Food came hot and quick. The flavour is quite rich. Not a lot of seafood ingredients in the dish. They have an extensive selections of pastas on the menu. This is the spot if you want to get your pasta/risotto cravings satisfied!

The first time I went the chicken Alfredo pasta was so good.i went yesterday for the second time and I was surprised to see the quantity like literally I could find any chicken in the chicken alferado pasta ,also the quantity of the dish was very less.on the top it never tasted good like my first visit. If a business is charging a client for money then a customer should get a full value.

great food

6 of us went to try. My friend said Bombay pasta was overly salty. My clam vongole was a disappointment. Looked good but was dry, lacked sauce. Not flavourful at all. Bread is grocery store sliced bread not what you would expect from Italian style pasta place. Not busy, another indication it is not as popular as mentioned in other reviews. Saturday dinner should have been busy.

Their pastas were all very good. The staff were really kind too. Comes with free garlic bread. The pink pasta and the squid ink pasty were very tasty. Prices are very fair too! Would love to come back to try more of their pastas since they have so many to choose from. Easy place to enjoy some good pasta!

The taste of pasta was excellent. Personally, It would be better if the noodle is a bit more firm. Id like to try pizza next time.

Great food. Til a hair was found in my girlfriends chicken alfredo. Looks like a beard hair or aomething.

Always have great food and service at Jimoco (Poco)

A bit slow for service, took them a while to get us water/drinks before we made our order. The lasagna was alright. I definitely had better. Was a bit disappointed to be served ketchup with the mozzarella sticks... I mean this Is a pasta place you think they would have marinara sauce for that.

Good food some very authentic dishes, carbonara is really good and tastes correct,prices are very fair.

Really cute Italian restaurant with nice vibes. We came in around 830pm and there was plenty of seats available, service was a tad slow towards the end as it was nearing their closing time. Over all good experience. Parking can be difficult as its off Austin and very limited.

Love the food!! One of the best pasta Ive tasted so far. The dishes were flavorful and you can tell they were prepared with great attention. We ordered the Salscecie and Seafood Risotto, along with calamari as appetizer. My kid was totally won over by the calamari and I wouldnt disagree. The hostess even brought out complimentary garlic bread for us and even that was great! The seating was a bit cramped and theres a lack of parking spot in front of the shops. Otherwise, we totally had a great time there. Well definitely come back soon!

Little hole in the wall italian place. Great food, very reasonably priced. Menu had enough choices that I didnt feel limited, but was curated enough that I didnt think there was a bad choice. Vegetarian options: A decently sized selection of vegetarian options with a good variety. Parking: Only a couple parking spots in front of the building, but lots of parking behind the Safeway if you dont mind walking a block

Very friendly staffs and great food. Service is excellent. I have been a regular customer there for a year.

I ordered the seafood risotto and it was really disappointing, too salty and watery. It looks like seafood soup with rice.

Was pretty quiet when I visited. Server was friendly and the service was fast. Really liked their carnonara.

Great Service and Food!

Keep doing what you are doing guys, because your pasta is amazing!! I think the best pasta Ive had in Vancouver. Coming from Europe, Im pretty fussy about my Italian food. Well done guys, you somehow managed to crack the formula!

Their lunch set comes with great values, you can choose a pasta you will have soup, salad, bread and fried chicken. Their salad is very fresh I enjoyed a lot, however in the mushroom cream soup, not only me but also my friend had tasted a big bulk of flour which is not a very enjoyable experience. Except from that, I think this is a good place to go for lunch. Oh and their carbonara has a very strong taste of onion, I will recommend tomato sauce based pasta more. Parking: Has lots of free parking in front of restaurants.

The atmosphere was nice and I loved the playlist. Food was good but bread didn t have much taste.

A very cute korean fusion pasta place! Theyve got a very generous menu, and a very cozy atmosphere as well. Parking is a bit hard to find but worth the effort finding a spot for. I highly recommend their rose seafood pasta :)

Prices have gone up / italian cuisineis catered towards Koreans too much

Nice food

I came to the resturant for the dine in, the food was good but not the best. Another time I ordered it for delivery however this time the food was awful. It smelled like uncooked chicken and the actual chicken in the food was uncooked.

We tried a variety of pasta from Jimoco, including the Linguine Soul and the Carbonara. It was good value but the taste was average.

Amazing place

Rose rice cake is so good. Rose Tteokbokki is really, really delicious!

Been coming here for years. Love their pastas!!

Great food and really reasonably priced!

Edit: Their food is amazing. However, my gf passed her driver s test recently and has an interim Driver s license. By law, this piece of I.D. should be accepted and we also told them that, but they didn t which is unfair. The employee was nice and all but the manager should check the government website. Always been a regular for Austin Ave. Their new pastas for Squid Ink and Truffle Oil are a must try!!!

love their liguini soul (spicy seafood pasta) and seafood risotto!!!!

Never give me fork

I ordered foods from Ubereats, they were great!! Like the flavour, and the pasta was cooked perfectly, just right level of softness.

Austin Rd location is MUCH better and customer service excellent in comparison to shortage of staff at the Oxford location , Austin Rd definitely has consistent food quality

My first time here Good food, good service Will come back for sure

Very nice food,I love their curry seafood linguine which isnt on the menu anymore,but they are still willing to make me.We also order meatballs spaghetti,they made more than enough sauce if you like saucy noodles.Taste good!

Very good, their bolognese sauce is very rich and flavorful. Had it on top of their gnocci and it was great!

Descent food and very friendly service

Excellent korean fusion pasta place. Would definitely recommend. We had ordered the Rose Forno and Linguine Soul, absolutely delicious.

Been coming here for 10 years, amazing food, linguine soul is really the best soul food

If you like spicy food, you must try their linguine soul pasta. Its a spicy seafood pasta

Overall, great food (Italian cuisine with a Korean touch) and customer service (the servers are very kind).

Pasta was super good.. Id say way better than Antons on Hastings, but pizza was not so good... Crust was too crispy and not chewy. Just get the pasta.

Probably my favourite place to get pasta! The food is always delicious and the proportions are good at the most reasonable price!

great pasta at fair price, and probably my favorite place to order pasta in coquitlam. also i appreciate the girl giving me water while i was waiting for takeout.

This restaurant says Italian pasta on the window, but it is actually more a fusion of yummy Korean flavors and pastas. My favorite is their truffle white sauce pasta.

Always good deals and great pasta

Nice and cozy place. Quick service. Insufficient parking spaces though.

Great portions n kindly customer service :)

Cozy, simple, great price, great selection of pastas.

Japanese/Korean spaghetti and risotto restaurant. Don t expect traditional Italian style but it s tasty! Complimentary garlic bread light up the meal.

Good service

Havent been here for more than 3 years. The previous buy 1 get 1 was no longer there. However, prices were still very reasonable. Food quality was still good. Some Italian and Korean fusion menu items. We tried the Korean beef Liguini. Not be bad. A hidden gem in this area. Not busy on a weekday night. Probably we will return more often.

Carbonara was excellent. Good portion as well. Caesar salad is a massive portion for an appetizer. Would eat here again, no question.

Their pasta was tasty and reasonably priced $17-$19 a plate, comes with garlic bread slices.

Portions are great. It tastes delicious. I love the variety of pastas they offer. This is my go to pasta place :) Thank you.

terrible service, messed up order they did nothing about it said to bad and continued to argue with me over the phone, way over priced for what you get.

Went there for a quick brunch myself while I was waiting in the area for something. It was a bit busy with delivery order when I got there. Food came fast though since there is only couple table of customer. Plating looks a bit rush and not as nice as the other poster posted, but food was great! A lot of clam on my plate! Will definitely try something else too on the menu next time.

I ordered at 8:30, but when the food came out, they said they didnt ask me to eat it quickly until 9:00, but they brought me a to-go box. Haha, its delicious, but its a waste of a tip.

Excelent food and service

Good food but a little cramp

Lasagna was not that great

Friendly staffs, food was delicious. It was just hard to find a parking spot since its busy street and parking spots were all taken.

First time I try food this restaurant. We order lunch set and it looks like small portion but it can fill up your stomach. Good taste good and service is good too.

lol It was my first meal today. deliciously

Good food for a nice family owned restaurant. The prices are great and the quality was fine. The service we received was attentive and solid. However, the server brought us the bill while we were still eating which was a bit odd. Otherwise, a good overall experience.

They are very friendly people there. The place is small and always crowded but people come back. The food always looks good. I pick up a lot of orders there.

My fav pasta place, no other! Been here for ages and still in love.

There is no longer any 2 for $x prices for the pastas anymore. They are about 16-18$ per pasta. The pastas taste the same as previous years. Went on a Saturday night at 6pm and half of the restaurant was full. When we left after 7, the restaurant was still only half full. Years ago, there would be line ups for a table.

I prefer Port Coquitlam one more. But here s food was good as well.

We ordered 6 different pastas and everyone loved the ones they ordered. The prices were very reasonable and the staff was friendly

Went here for the first time today, was super delicious!! Service was fast, quick and friendly. Although there were 8 of us, the food came out quicker than expected!! Definitely worth the try if you re ever looking for a nice restaurant to eat. Overall would definitely come back!! Thanks!

Very nice. Good price and good portion size. Most of their menus are pretty good. I say most of them because did not try them all yet. So far I tried half of their menu, and they were all good.

Nice fusion pastas

Really quietly one of the best pasta options in the area. Generous portions at very reasonable prices, with a broad selection. Parking is a dystopian nightmare so you might want to consider calling ahead and getting it to go. Also, a small ding for garlic bread that is barely worthy of the designation...its basically white toast with a thumbprint of garlic butter in the middle.

First time here. Ordered take out. Food was fresh and hot. Salads were cold and the vegetables perfect! Thank you so much Jimoco, we will be back!

This place is a disgrace, you cant eat here even if you are partially vaccinated! They require full vaccinations although the bc law states that you only need one vaccine until late October

Service is good and I love how they constantly make their new menus. Miss their beet pasta already.

2 for 1 deal = $30 (excludes the special). Ordered the baked penne and seafood linguine. LOVE IT. The chorizo in the penne felt a bit tough and dry, tasted more like pepperoni. Other than that, its great. For the seafood linguine, I got only 1 mussel in my dish, good amount of clams, couple squids and prawns and squid. I had rose sauce, and the sauce was done just right, and the pasta is perfect texture. The garlic toast could have a bit more garlic butter on it, but we dunk it in the saucy sauce and it was good. Would still go back there again. OH, and the girl who took my order was very friendly and polite. Extra points there.

Spaghetti tastes like Korean food. It might be a good idea to try it once.

You can grab much better italian food across the street for a couple extra bucks.

Absolutly excellent food. I got the mushroom risotto and it was fresh and hot. Very tasty! I highly recommend this resturant. Thank you so much for such a wonderful dinner! We got ours in Port Coquitlam highly recommend!

Food tastes awesome! Would be 4 star if their floor was less greasy

Love both of their locations. Food was excellent and the food came fast as well as hot.

A Korean twist to Italian pasta. Great tasting and very reasonably priced
