Jacob’s Noodle & Cutlet

Stop here from Calgary to Vancouver. Kamloops is a nice city. This restaurant is more than our expectation! Great bimbim bang

Amazing food! Decided to stop here while on a work trip and we both loved our rice bowls (spicy pork bulgogi and beef bibimbap) and the croquette was delicious as well. Wish this place was in Vancouver!

I come here weekly for the spicy chicken cutlet RAMEN. It’s spiced perfectly. I could drink gallons of this broth.

Adorable little restaurant full of friendly people and an interesting variety of tasty food. The menu has a variety of Korean and Japanese items on it, so you can get a delicious bowl of Udon or Ramyun, or some Bulgogi or Tonkatsu. Everything was served quick, hot, and with a smile.
I had the Spicy Seafood Ramyun as a combo, so I also got some Gyoza and a sushi roll with some Tonkatsu in it. The gyoza were fried nicely and had a good flavor, and I really enjoyed the sushi roll with the savory/​sweet sauce on it. The Ramyun was my favorite though, on a cool gray day it was lovely to have a big bowl of nicely spicy broth stuffed with tasty bites of veggies and seafood. A healthy amount of shrimp, scallops, and mussels played nicely with broccoli, mushrooms, and standard ramen noodles. Delicious.

Oh my gosh I’m in loooooove!
I also really really love the atmosphere and décor here. The colours almost make me feel like I’m in a diner but it’s all very clean and modern looking. I love the exposed brick and chalkboards on the walls. This is the kind of restaurant you expect to find in a more metropolitan city like Vancouver, not Kamloops.
I was a little hesitant to try this restaurant in the first place as they don’t have a full menu on their website and I was worried there wouldn’t be anything vegetarian for me to eat. Lucky for me, that wasn’t the case. Our server made an effort to point out everything on the menu that I’d be able to eat, and there was plenty to choose from.
I ended up going with the veggie udon bowl and it was fantastic. The noodles were nice and soft and the broth was nicely seasoned. Our server let me know that I should try the spicy version next time as in her opinion, it is even better. Will do!

We got here at 4p on a Friday so it was empty.
Service was quick and friendly. We got the gyoza, pork cutlet donburi and curry chicken with rice.
Portion sizes were hearty and we will probably eat the same stuff one more time before we leave town.
We have never had fried gyoza before so it was a delightful surprise. I would have ordered another portion of I had any space in tummy.

We stop over Kamloop when we are on the way to Vancouver. Come here due to all good comment from Unilocal.The cheese rice roll is so good. It has crispy cheese outside the rice roll and very tasty. Udon is good. Pork cutlet is average and no surprise. I have ordered a mild spicy ramen but is really spicy to me already. It is actually the Korean spicy instant noodle and I think I won’t order this again. Service and décor is great.

Overall not bad, but just not great like I was expecting after reading previous reviews my boyfriend and I stopped here for a late lunch while on the road to Vancouver.
This place is located downtown Kamloops.
It’s super quaint and clean which I love. They serve a combination of Korean and Japanese food.
I opted for lunch special «E» which came with a stirfry of sprouts, a few pieces of veggies over rice with a very light teriyaki sauce. I found it to be bland. It was topped with small cubes of deep fried tofu (think agedashi tofu) which was decent. As well, it came with a bowl of miso soup (which although tasted fine, did not come with any seaweed), plus a very small shaved salad with dressing and four pieces of veggie tempura which was prepared well.
My boyfriend had the fried pork cutlet udon soup. I didn’t try any but he said it was tasty.
Service was great but sadly food didn’t love up to my expectation.

Pork cutlet feel little dry but noodles with soup taste very good. The decorations in the restaurant are very cute, even in the restrooms.

Came here again for dinner this time and tried the special which was the bibimbap. Like wise, I have ate plenty of bibimbap’s from lots of places but this places bibimbap I would rank it near the top when compared to some places that I have tried. The usual, it comes in a piping hot stone bowl (if you were to lay a finger on it your finger would most likely fall off). As normal it is, it’s sizzling when it arrives but after some time the sizzling dissipates, but after eating this one it seemed that the bowl was heated so hot that after HALF of my portion was done its still sizzling! I wasn’t even eating that fast either.
Throughout my whole meal it tasted very good and there remained a good heat to the portion that was given. I got beef with the normal assortment of things that come in a bibimbap. The beef had good flavor, no chewy pieces and it was also tender as well. Everything about this dish was pretty spot on and very tasty. I can definitely see there’s quality in the food at this place and they cook with care. Definitely, would get it again the next time.

We came here based on all the good Unilocal reviews. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing here, but I really don’t think the things we’ve ordered were that great. In particular, my curry rice dish (see picture) tasted like instant curry that you get from the store, except the sauce was so watery. To be honest, I could have fixed up something better than that at home. As a restaurant, every item on the menu must be good enough or else it should not be on the menu. It was a terrible disappointment for me. It is a shame, because the restaurant had good décor and service that I wish I can give it a higher rating.

I loved this place! It was cute inside probably from the previous business it had a lot of vintage décor from the ceiling to the paneling. I ordered the ramyun spicy with the deep fried cutlet. It was spicy but not overly and the cutlet was crispy but since I’m a slow eater it soaked up the soup and got soggy. I would recommend maybe the serve on the side instead of on top the noodles. It is a little pricey for what it is but it totally satisfied my ramyun craving so I can’t complain. Not enough places serve a spicy ramyun but this place does and hits the spot. Oh, service seems a little a little slow though. If u don’t rush the servers u don’t get to order and we had to remind them to get us water which came after the food.

So glad we found this place. We got into Kamloops from the Rocky Mountaineer and didn’t want to wait for the crowds at all the places they recommended. Food was really good here. Large portions and good prices. Service was SLOW… but it was better than waiting in line.

Great place to stop in Kamloops. I was surprised how much I enjoyed their agadashi tofu dish and seafood salad. I will definitely stop in there on my next drive through.

We started off with gyozas, which were deep fried instead of pan fried. I had the curry cutlet which had 2 cutlets for $ 13.95 and the meal included miso soup and salad. The salad dressing was delicious and very original. My husband had the rocky cutlet which is a pork cutlet with melted cheese on top $ 12.95. Very good food and good value. We would come here again!

This place is amazing, I go here every time I have some extra money to spend. The food is delicious, the staff is so sweet and the atmosphere is adorable. A little twist of Japan with a modern look I love it. I love their cutlets, but they also have vegetarian options which is nice. If you’re in Kamloops you definitely need to go here.

We totally fell in love with this amazingly great food! I had the deep fried tofu, really yummy! And the chicken cutlet udon which also was amazing! Also the bref belgogi was great and the kimchi! Staff=sweet and awsome! Great place!!! I just wish they open a place in Stockholm soooon!

Good food, great service are reasons why we ate here three time in our last two visits. Highly recommend the pork cutlet noodle combo. Delicious!

I went on a trip to Kamloops for a month and I found this restaurant through the internet. The food was so delicious that I came back at least three times before I left town. Their food is all home made, so everything tastes really fresh. The waitresses are so nice and even the chiefs waved us goodbye.
I love noodles but I am unfortunately gluten free. This place was very flexible and changed the ingredients around so I was able to eat almost every dish. Rice noodles in my favorite soup was like heaven to me.
My favorite two dishes are the spicy seafood udon and the mayo don. I had spicy seafood udon in many different places, but nowhere had this much seafood in it. If you visit or live in Kamploops, you HAVE to try this place.

My Kelowna friends decided to visit me today. I suggested this place to try. We got there at about 5pm on a Tuesday night. We ordered the pork cutlet combo, chicken udon combo, gomae, agedashi tofu, and a large sake.
Background: I’m Asian. I have extensive Asian cuisine eating experience from my travels across Asia and Canadian Metropolitan areas.
Ambiance: The restaurant looks like it took over another eatery or a café shop. The ceiling is nice and high with beautiful designs. Nice red brick walls as a backdrop. The open concept kitchen can be seen by the whole restaurant’s patrons. Over all it feels roomy but cozy at the same time. There are about 8 tables so not too big of a restaurant. We were given disposable chopsticks, which is typical of Asian joints.
Service: Great. We were greeted when we opened the door and was offered to be seated anywhere in the restaurant. Our water was promptly refilled throughout our meal. The chefs even waved to us as we leave!
Cleanliness: The tables and washrooms are very clean.
Taste: Very good. It doesn’t taste manufactured and it was not overly salty. Seasoning was done in a ‘just-​right’ manner.
The awesomes: The pork cutlet was marinated with really good seasoning. It is nice and crunchy and soft in the inside. The two dipping sauce provided was really tasty. The udon soup was very nice and not too salty.
The ok’s: The cheese roll is actually a sushi roll with melted cheese on top. It is different but not spectacular. Gomae and agedashi tofu tastes standard. The bugolgi tastes very good but unfortunately there is not a lot of sauce underneath so parts of the beef is burnt by the hot plate.
Sake: typical Gekkeikan taste. The sake was warmed to perfect temperature.
Portion: Really decent for me (to compare, I’m 5’2 and about 110lbs).
Price: the combos and beef bugolgi are about $ 14 each and the large sake is about $ 7.50.
Overall: Definitely will revisit again. It is one of the best Asian meals I have had for a long time.
