Went for lunch and we were greeted by (I think is) the owner, very friendly. We got Bibimbap and King katsu and was very satisfied with the food, big portions and authentic in taste. The place is warm and bright and I love the Korean songs playing on the speaker. Will definitely go back there.
JJ Kitchen is a restaurant selling authentic, tasty Korean food in little, old Medicine Hat! It’s in an older building, but it is clean and tidy and the food is delicious. The owner was super friendly and very helpful. We had the Korean corn dog, kimchi croquettes, and the CupBap, which is a bowl of rice, lettuce, pickles, fried veggies, glass noodles and Korean soy sauce. You pick your protein; I had mine with Korean fried chicken and my wife had the spicy pork (there is beef as well). There are three different sauces to choose from, so you can mix and match. The lemonade was fantastic too! The food was delicious and we will definitely be back! It’s always nice to have a different type of cuisine to try that’s out of the ordinary. Ps: we came back a second time and had the sweet and spicy chicken wings and they were killer! Huge, crispy, moist chicken wings in a sticky, sweet and spicy sauce that had just had enough heat! Highly recommended! My wife had the bulgogi soup and she loved it too. I tried the pork cupbap and it was excellent as well. We will definitely bring our sons here when they are in town.
The jipbap really felt like a home meal, the price was good for what you get in this economy. If I had kids I'd probably encourage them to go here haha, it's healthy food
A cute little spot with a great atmosphere. The menu is small but you can tell what you are getting is made well. The food was incredible and for a good price. We asked about allergies and they responded very quickly and ensured us of the ingredients. They were incredibly attentive and very nice! I highly recommend giving this place a try.
Friendly staff, great food, quick service, clean restaurant, welcoming atmosphere, small menu that isn't overwhelming so easy to decide what to get. Quiet for a Saturday afternoon, especially compared to down the street where the live music was very loud. Air conditioning is great! And they have a cute patio area with shade cover.
That was a delicious meal, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for a good service too.🤗👨🍳
Based off Door Dash order, I got the JipBap BBQ beef little plater. I enjoyed the Beef and rice the most it was a small portion, salad was decent a little warm, the cucumber salad was too wilted for me but would probably be pretty good based on the sauce, soup was good and the deep fried carrot/onion thing was good.
What a gem! This restaurant leans into the feeling of a home-cooked meal so well. My whole family really enjoyed the food. I ordered the bulgogi, and came back a few days later to try the spicy pork (my favourite!). Service was great. Will definitely visit again next time we are in town.
Authentic, great tasting food and friendly service, well be back
Came down here on a lazy drive and came in on a little slice of paradise! Sharp, clean, and delicious food! Totally a great place to stop!
Very excellent homemade Korean for the price point.

Loved my Cupbap bowl- number 3 with kimchi ranch is DELICOUS. Perfect mix of flavors and crunch and sauce. Definitely coming again! Friendly service, nice simple decor. Check it out.
Fresh
Delicious and wonderful. Take some time and go for a walk to this lovely hidden gem. Its well worth it!!
Best food, great price, good atmosphere, and the NICEST family ever!!
This is truly the best restaurant!!!! The cup rice was better than at a real Korean restaurant, and the homemade drinks (grapefruit syrup, lemon syrup) were also delicious! Pork cutlet is my favorite food. It s crispy and the sauce is sweet and the best!!! Vegetarian options: I have vegetable tempura and it s delicious. Kid-friendliness: Its nice to have a high chair

I ordered in through DoorDash and the Beef Bulgogi CupBap was absolutely amazing! The most flavourful food I ve had in a while!
Fantastic food, friendly service! A casual gem for sure!!
Hands down the best place in the hat to eat.

My girlfriend and I went in for lunch and the atmosphere inside is super cozy and welcoming. we both got jibbap (fried chicken and spicy pork) highly recommended as the flavour is amazing! we both got corn dogs as a after lunch treat. Food came out super quick and the service was amazing! Will gladly come back for more food in the near future!

Kind humans, amazing food and reasonable prices.
Best food i have had in the hat
Everything was delicious! Spiced just right! Server was very hospitable. Food
Great little Korean place! Definitely recommend!
Amazing food provided by an amazing woman! Obsessed with her kimchi!!
Delicious and affordable and so quick. We had a walk, ate lunch without hurrying all within a half hour lunch break. A great downtown option.
Amazing place! - dont think about just go!
I lived in Korea for five years and my husband is Korean. We both love visiting here. The food tastes like a homemade meal (hence the name of jipbap which is one of their menu items). The owners are also so sweet and friendly, which is an added bonus. I also love how they change their banchan regularly. Amazing.
If you have never had a Korean style corn dog, you have to go here. Order the one with potatoes on it, you wont be disappointed. All the food is excellent.
Very delicious food and a very comfy vibe all around. 100/10, would eat here again
This place should be way busier. Everything tasted great. Food came out fast. Will be coming back everytime we are in town.
Simply scrumptious! Can t wait to come back for more.
Y all. Come for the BiBap, stay for the corn dogs. We had the fried chicken noodles and spicy pork rice, as well as a half mozza half wiener corn dog. The meats were flavourful, and the kimchi spiced just right. But the corn dog was the star of the show. An ample helping of cheese and dog wrapped in a churro-like batter and fried to perfection.
One of the best places to eat in Medicine Hat. A gem of a find
Best place to eat in town. It was suggested to me by almost all my coworkers and I finally tried it out and have been back 3 times in 2 weeks. Cannot recommend enough, so so so so so good! Kid-friendliness: Friendly and welcoming atmosphere
Im not korean but love Asian quisene and love trying new food, I think I tried the bibimbap which I was told was korean for meal,I got it on take out well it was very good and very tasty,I will be back
I had tried a few of her items at the farmers markets in the past and loved every bit of it. Seeing the restaurant location was even better. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming which makes it feel like youre visiting a friends home. The food is incredible and they even have some cool soft drinks from Korea that youll never find anywhere else. Definitely recommend!
Awesome food. Really like their kimchi for takeout. The kids loved the corn dogs as well. Super friendly people and a nice place all around. Worth checking it out for lunch or early dinner.
We absolutely love this place, the kimchi was the best I have ever tried.
I tried their weekly special today. It was Kingkatsu(pork cutlet) and it was absolutely yummy and had a big portion as well. All their weekly special menus are so popular in Korea, and taste just perfect. I can believe I finished whole plate by myself. It means it was definitely yummy. Cant wait they get skip the dishes service soon! Kid-friendliness: kids friendly drinks
Amazing simple as that! Excited to see more from little place. Will 100% be back for more!!!!
We tried a variety of menu items and they were all delicious. We plan on returning.
What a wonderful experience! The host and staff were very friendly, the food presentation was lovely and the meal itself was absolutely delicious. All 3 of us dining together were very pleased with our meals. We will spread the word and definitely visit again!
This place is a jem! I had the pleasure of trying their baking at the Farmers Market this past summer and am thrilled they opened up a restaurant. Its a wonderful addition to our dining options and love that they are downtown. Cant wait to go back.
Adorable little Korean place. Delicious fresh food. Cant wait to come back!
Was very nice. Food was excellent. Service was good. Would definitely go again and highly recommend
My wife took me and the kids to Jj today, kids really enjoyed the corn dogs, the kimchi croquettes were amazing, can t wait to go back and try some other dishes.
All the food was amazing!! And the atmosphere was bright and fun. Best!!
Very friendly and good food:)
A great find nestled in the downtown area. Service was good and prompt. The food was exceptional with authentic flavors. Will for sure be going back and trying more of the menu.
Super yum yum, the BBQ gimbap is great
Definitely coming back!
Absolutely amazing Thanks for the great service and great food.
Absolutely delicious food, so fresh and authentic, ran by the kindest people aswell.
Awesome place with delicious meals 5 stars!!
I had heard great things about JJ Kitchen, and having lived in Korea for a couple years back in the 90 s and loved the food, I had to give it a try. The menu isn t exhaustive, so it s easy to pick - and my group of 4 were all well-fed and expectations were exceeded both in the quality of the food and the hospitality of the hosts. I ll definitely be going back and spreading the word!
What a find! I had the Korean BBQ jipbap and my wife had the spicy pork jipbap. We both loved the symphony of flavours on our plates. Our server was invested in our dining experience she wanted us to enjoy it. The restaurant is bright and airy with interesting music playing in the background. We will be regularly patronizing JJs in the future.
After seeing a Korean corn dog on tiktok and finding out my city has some, I couldnt wait to come down and try. It was so delicious! I also grabbed some kimchi to take home and try. The ambience of the resteraunt is calming and the service is top knotch. I cannot wait to come back and try all the other items on the menu.
Wow! This place is great. Amazing food and fantastic service. Priced right too. Support downtown and make JJs a regular stop!
First time we tried this and worth it! Decent price for korean foods cravings! Especially their corn dog is huge, soft, sweet-salty blend and the combo of hotdog and mozza cheese woooh so yummy! Will definitely come back and highly recommended!!!
Great place, had the crunchy chicken dish and some sort of kimchi potato loaf. Both were super great, and I ll definitely be back.
Very delicious, clean and charming. Highly recommend! Kamsahamnida!
Delicious food, superb customer service, and large portions for what you pay! Parking: Downtown parking, can vary
Everything on the menu is AMAZING ! The customer service is also fantastic, you can tell they love what they do. The space is super cute + clean! I highly recommend supporting this biz
very nice and cozy environment that matches the style of the food served. the service is very good and the food was delicious. I highly recommend it.
Great Korean food! Reasonable prices for what you get.
Great place, friendly staff and delicious corn dogs! So fun to have a place like this here! We will be back!
One of the best corn dogs I have ever had. They are so filling and delicious. The staff are super kind. Dont pass up a chance to try this gem in the city
Excellent restaurant in downtown Medicine Hat. Great for lunch as it is quick, reasonably priced and delicious.
JJ Yum! Stopped in for lunch and we had one each of the bowl and plate. Super tasty and looking forward to our next visit. Definitely recommend it! Also had an almond croissant and it was to die for.
My partner and I tried out JJ s and it is amazing! I live in Calgary, but I will be coming back to the Hat specifically for their Korean Fried Chicken CupBap!!
Great place with a satisfying one-container lunch options as well as other selections. Parking: Parking is limited since the location is downtown. It takes a couple trips around the block to secure a spot.
I ve been wanting to try Korean mozzarella corn dogs for the longest time and finally discovered this place! Easily the tastiest food I ve had in a long time, and the owners are so kind! Highly recommend trying! Vegetarian options: They have vegan/vegetarian side dishes available, check weekly menu updates on social media Kid-friendliness: Decorated to make it feel more homey and cozy, very welcoming atmosphere
Delicious food - our whole family found something they loved! Excellent service and so friendly.
We love the fresh food. Owners are incredible people.
This cute Korean restaurant downtown is fantastic. We had the most delicious lunch and the staff are friendly and the environment is great! I can t wait to come back again.
Support this great place Medicine Hat! Absolutely fantastic food. Really good to have different food here in the town. Everyone needs to come here, it s worth it. Spicy pork JipBap is a must. It was so good - I got a CupBap to go to put in the fridge!
So tasty and the best service! Ive been a couple time and just adore it here! I love the different and interesting menu options, there is something for everyone! I highly recommend the coconut jelly drinks! Sooo good and refreshing!
Amazing! Always yummy, great quality, service and experience. I love how cute the restaurant is and the owners are very sweet people.
Awesome food. Awesome service. Friendly open feeling place. Felt comfortable and the food was real good. Will be going back
This restaurant is the best in this price range. Also keobbab on the menu was eaten by me. It was so nice. The owner of this restaurant is very kind. And this restaurant is so clean. If you dont know what to eat, eat keobbab.
Amazing food and a cozy place. Ive never had Koren food before, so the drawings on the menu helped me choose the JipBap, which is great. Im definitely coming back. The host provided a great service and made the place extremely welcoming. We highly recommend this place
Very inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was delicious. Would highly recommend trying JJ s if you re in the downtown area!
Amazing Food, great flavours and presentation. The service was really great too! Clean, inviting restaurant, we will be back for sure!
Amazing service and delicious meal! I had such a great experience here and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic Korean food!!
One of my favourite restaurants I ve enjoyed all of the food I ve had from here especially the Bulgogi
Amazing food and such lovely staff!
Very welcomed as soon as we went in to the place. The workers are really kind. The food was wonderful without a question. This restaurant seems like new and very clean. Thanks guys.I really enjoyed it
The food was amazing, everything was tasty in the Jipbap (they have a vegetarian option with chickpeas that are really good too). The cupbap was balanced and really good too. The price is cheap for this quality! The service was perfect. If you like Korean food, don t hesitate! Vegetarian options: Chickpeas instead of meat
Simple, tasty, modern Korean food. Uncomplicated menu. Affordable. I would eat here again and again and again.
New favorite place for lunch downtown. Wonderful food, great service and clean and comfortable setting.
I haven t had Korean food this good since I lived in Van. I ve ordered on doordash almost everyday this week for lunch and our family dropped in for takeout at the end of the night today. The cupbaps are amazing and the corn dogs are the best I ve ever had, the kids loved them.
Very attentive service, asked if they had vegan options and made some adjustments for us
Decided to order takeout from here on a whim and and Im really impressed. As an Asian, I couldve done with more rice, but the sheer amount of flavors with their Jib Bap is more than worth it alone. If I ever find myself in medicine hat again, this is at the top of my list to go eat at again.
Excellent
The portions are good and cost is more than fair
Today was my first time here at JJ Kitchen and they did not disappoint. Food was amazing, service was great and they have the cutest little restaurant. Love this place will be back!
Delicious food here! You will not be disappointed. Very friendly service. Super cute restaurant. Would highly recommend!
Incredible flavours and very friendly service. We ordered all 3 types of proteins, a few specials and the mozza/hotdog corndog. Great combination of flavours - the banchan/kimchi with the JibBap rivalled what weve had in Korea. Overall will definitely be back frequently!
This was an excellent experience. Very clean restaurant with excellent service and very good food. Highly recommended!
I really love JJs Kitchen, I eat here a few times a month! You can tell the food is made with quality ingredients and put together with the utmost care. They create a truly authentic Korean dining experience from the service they provide, to the KPOP music they have as their background music. Their prices are also very reasonable. Downtown is lucky to have such a great establishment! I highly recommend the BBQ Beef Bulgogi.
First time trying it... We will be back
This is a awesome spot tried it for the first time and everything was awesome as a Jamaican the only thing would need to make it any better is some jerk chicken .but yeah this is a awesome place i recommend it to everyone.
Loved the restaurant, smaller menus with quality choices of food. Staff were friendly and our food arrived quickly, I had the JipBap, and my coworker had the CupBap, both of us chose the Korean barbecue. Very flavourful and fresh tasting. Woukd definately recommend!
First time coming here, everything is so good!! Its really pretty inside the restaurant too, we will be coming back :)
My favourite place in town
Really delicious food, warm and inviting atmosphere and super friendly staff. If you don t see any vegetarian options don t hesitate to ask, they are happy to accommodate me every time and make my favourite vegetarian food in the city.
Spicy Pork CupBap was very very good. Kimchi was also good. Zero complaints. This place is a must try. Will be back.
What an amazing find! The food and service was fantastic! Definitely will be back. Everyone needs to try this hidden gem!!
Delicious food and very friendly owners.
It was such a pleasure experience today that I was able to eat authentic Korean home-style meals in Medicine Hat. As Im Korean, I always miss my moms food, but now I dont need to feel that way. Jj kitchen, thank you so much for your hard work to make the most yummy and healthy Korean meals. We want to go there everyday.
Ever since hearing about this place I ve been dying to try the Korean Corn Dogs. They were out of this world!! Along with the rest of the food!! The owners were extremely kind!! Do yourself a favour and check out this restaurant! Another amazing establishment in our downtown!
