We came here late last night and the food did not disappoint! It’s Korean food made for the Western palate without sacrificing Korean tastes! The best example would be the amount of Korean style pastas they offer, but my favourite would be the Kimchi Arancini :)) would definitely go back !!

The food prices are reasonable for the portion you get. Food is also delicious. We ordered the Beef Bulgogi, Bulgogi Cream Pasta, and Seafood Pajeon. Did not try anything on the drink menu, but the cocktails looked good. The bulgogi and pasta were delicious; however, the Seafood Pajeon (pancake) I would rate a 4/10 at best. Not enough seafood, not crispy enough. I've had significantly better before.

We had a wonderful weekend here with friends. The service was great, and the food suited our taste, especially the pork knuckles, which really impressed us. It would be even better if they could remove the hair from the pork knuckles more thoroughly. The only downside is that it's very difficult to find a parking spot.

really can't say enough good about this spot. The service we receive here is some of the best in the city - everyone is so lovely and the conversation is always great. Food recommendations from the servers are 10/10, and we never fail to leave there feeling warm and cozy. We live in Banff, but every special occassion we stay in Calgary so we can come to Joodam!

I really like this Korean restaurant! The food is super tasty, authentic, and the prices are pretty good. The staff is also really friendly, which makes the experience even better. My favorite dish is the bulgogi—I just love it! I definitely recommend this place and have been back many times already

Wow! Amazing spot, best restaurant in Inglewood! Absolutely delicious traditional and fusion Korean dishes, not a single miss! Kimbap was fresh and colourful. Bulgogi was so savoury and delicious. Tteokbokki was simply perfect. Amazing atmosphere with large windows looking in to the neighbourhood. Staff were unbelievably kind, and service was perfection. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience at Joodam. Easy to find parking and staff and atmosphere was relaxed on a Sunday. Ordered a bunch of dishes to share and everyone had a good time and enjoyed the food. My favorite dishes was the seafood pancake as it was perfectly crispy as well and the cold noodles which was very refreshing after having some of the spicy food. Will for sure visit again
