    Been wanting to try out this restaurant for a while and it did not disappoint. The beef soup is tasty with generous amount of tender beef. The plate of Jokbal and modum soondae is perfectly boiled (or is it steamed) with a good mix of meat and internal organs. Service is prompt. The place is not that big so expect to wait a bit during busy lunch/dinner hours. Will go back there to try their stew dishes.

    JangTu is a very authentic traditional family style Korean restaurant, whenever we visited we always feel like we are Korea. The staff are very friendly and services are quick, If you want to come here for lunch make sure you come here either early or late because they get crowed around noon time.

    Found this restaurant on Yelp and decided to try it since I was in the area. I went there around 11:15 and there were already several tables filled. By the time I left around 12:30, there was a line outside. Almost all the patrons eating there speaker Korean so you know the place is authentic. It's a small restaurant with one side of the wall stacked with supplies. People chatted happily while eating. I ordered the goat soup. It was delicious with tender pieces of meat and a nice kick to it. The banchan included kimchi, radish, warm tofu and bean sprouts. The servers were quick and friendly. I would definitely come back to try the other dishes.

    3.5 stars for a solid hole in the wall Korean spot. You know it is authentic with there is a line on the door on a weekday, and all the clientele are Korean. I would get the yuk gae jangagain - yummy and chock full of veggies, but the Ramen dish we got was a little too sweet. The waitresses were all Korean ajummas. One of them was very cute and insisted my friend wear an apron even though she initially declined because she was wearing a white sweater and we were eating very red spicy soup. I would definitely come back to try some of their other dishes, the rice dishes were enormous, serving part two in a hotpot they bring to your table, looked amazing!

    For decades, Jangtu has been a well-known family-owned Korean restaurant in this area specializing in soondae (blood sausage). One can tell how authentic a restaurant is based on its customers. My wife and I went at 11:15 am, and grandmothers and grandfathers were waiting in line. When we got seated, the busyness and conversation inside we're comforting. My wife commented that dining here brought her back to her childhood in Korea. We always come here for our soondae and soondae guk stew. In the past we had their dak galbi, cold noodles, yukgaejang, pancakes, and so on. The customer service is excellent. They have been so kind and polite. Refilling our side dishes periodically. Parking has been challenging lately, with increased foot traffic from neighboring stores. I remember 10+ years ago when this plaza was more quiet and empty.

    Love the soondae here- always juicy and hits the spot. If you have never tried soondaeguk because you're wary of smell, I'd say this is a good first shot! I used to not eat this before either, but I enjoy theirs here and haven't been weirded out by the smell of taste :)

    Banchan / side dishes - on the house

    Food (4/5) For our party of three, we ordered the haemul pajeon and the Yum So Jungol (spicy goat stew with veggies in hot pot). It was more than enough, we could have done without the seafood pancake. If you ask for rice with your soup, they will make a fried rice with your leftover rice and soup - great ending to the meal. The Yum So Jongol had a lot of meat in it and was perfectly spicy and seasoned. I usually don't like eating too much crown daisy but it was a great accompaniment to the flavor of the stew and goat meat. The Haemul Pajeon was good, but not that crispy. The side dishes were really good and they also did a good job with refills. Price (5/5) Seafood pancake $20.99 and the Yum So Jongol was $47.99, which is really reasonable. It could feed a party of three which is a great deal. Wait Time (4/5) We came here around 130pm on a Sunday and waited ~45 mins. Luckily there's a market in the plaza so we did some browsing. They don't have a notification system so just be mindful of the time and be back before they call your party. Service (4/5) Honestly for Korean ajuumas (no hate!!), their service was very attentive and respectful. We originally were going to order another entree which our server dissuaded against (and thankfully she did). Ambiance (3/5) It's clean but it's more of a casual establishment. There's a wall with takeout containers on one side of the restaurant. Parking/Access (5/5) Located in a strip mall, there's plentiful parking even with the busy market next door. Overall, this is a very authentic Korean restaurant with big portions. I personally likely would not be back often due to the distance and portion size. I also need to be in the right mood for it haha

    Banchan
    Heying D.

    Perfect service, perfect food and always a delight to be here. This time we had their seafood pancake which was just so delicious and our go to kimchi jjigae. Everything was delicious. The banchans are also always amazing!!! Highly recommend!!!

    Soondae Guk
    Jocelyn S.

    This was a super unique Korean food experience! We tried the modum soondae dish which had pork liver, tongue, stomach, and blood noodle sausage. I believe this was to be paired with a gochugaru salt and what tasted like kimchi juice (wasn't sure if these went together, everything was just given to us haha). This was great, definitely to be shared with at least 3 people, I couldn't finish even half on my own. We also got a soondae guk stew that came as a combo with three yellow croakers. This was super homey and had a seollongtang vibe. Lastly we got the goat stew which I'd never had before. It was spicy with chrysanthemum leaves. The taste was good but I wouldn't get it again because the goat skin had a little bit of fur. The store has a handful of indoor seating and is run by Korean moms. Service was great.

    Soondae Guk
    Ron P.

    Absolute place to come for soondaeguk! The place is small with not so many tables so there was a surprising amount of wait. I think we waited almost 30mins for a party of 2. The lady takes the order while you are waiting though so the food comes out relatively quick which is amazing because we were so hungry from the wait! The soondaeguk is delicious and was exactly what I was craving! Will definitely return to this place! What a find!

    Jangtu Baegban & Haemul Pajeon
    Joanna L.

    We came at 1pm on a Saturday. Despite it being somewhat later in the afternoon, there was a line outside. We put our names down and waited around 15 minutes. Some parties placed their orders earlier so that they could be served right when they were seated. The restaurant was quite busy inside (the restaurant itself isn't that huge), and all tables were full. All the workers in JangTu are incredibly friendly and kind! We took a while to order, but the waitress was patient and brought us drinks in the meantime. We ended up ordering the JangTu Baegban (soondae guk with pan fried yellow croaker) and the Haemul Pajeon (seafood and veggie pancake). The JangTu Baegban had a distinct white pepper taste to it, stronger than I'm used to eating, but it enhanced the flavor of the soup quite well. I enjoyed the different types of meat within the soup, and I think it's a great option for people who want to try different types of meat. The pan fried yellow croaker was also fried well! The Haemul Pajeon had great texture due to the seafood. Although I would've preferred it a bit crispier, the flavor was great! JangTu is definitely one of the top Korean restaurants I've had in San Jose, serving authentic options. I would definitely like to come back and try some other dishes!

    Someori Guk - beef soup
    Kristina K.

    Whenever I want a savory soup, this is one of my favorites to go. This Korean beef soup is simple in flavor one might say it's a bit bland but I really like it this way since many foods are too flavorful that you feel too much. This soup has generous beef slices. I sometimes add more pepper powder, the chili sauce, and lots of toasted perilla seeds. It depends on my mood. However you season it, It's comforting and satisfying. The banchans are delicious too. This place is quite small but it's always busy. You most likely have to put your name down and wait outside until the staff calls you. The service is good and efficient. You should check it out!

The beef tongue was perfect with the truffle salt. And the A5 wagyu was the perfect fattiness to end the meal with the bibimbap.

We had reservations but still had to wait a little while as we had a party of 8. We were seated in 2 separate but adjoining tables. KBBQ Meat - Not just any meat, but high quality and highly graded meat. We ordered 5 out of the 10 cuts and they were all delicious. I also learned they are called 10 Butchers because of the 10 different cuts from the cow. Green Onion Pancake - This served as a good meat palate cleanser. However, if I had known beforehand that they served similar mini pancakes as a side small plate, I wouldn't have ordered this as an appetizer. Wagyu Dumplings with Rice Cake - This was also good to have aside from the KBBQ. The flavor was simple yet comforting. One order is good for 4 people. Banchan - All were great! My personal fave was the yellow dried squid or fish with black sesame seeds. And that mashed purple yam thing was also good. I just wish they told us what each dish was. Like I didn't know what to do with the bowl with apple water? Service - As someone who has been fortunate enough to experience KBBQ in Seoul, this was the closest to it. Having the restaurant staff cook the bbq for you ensures the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.

This is not "trendy K-BBQ." This is craft. Premium Beef Sets The two beef platters show exactly why this restaurant has earned its reputation. Cuts are uniform, balanced, and beautifully marbled - not over-trimmed, not sloppy. You can tell each cut was selected with intent. And then comes the part that separates Jang Su Jang from the rest: The Ajeumma Grill Masters The ajumma who handle the grill are true specialists. They adjust heat, angle, and timing with an instinct that can't be engineered - it's earned through years of repetition. Fatty cuts get brief exposure to maximize aroma. Leaner cuts are rested, turned, and finished with restraint. Everything lands at the table tender, glossy, and perfectly rendered. This is the kind of skill you don't fake. Signature "Wang Mandu" Dumplings These oversized dumplings - often associated with Pyongyang/North Korean culinary tradition - are beautifully pleated, delicate, and generously filled. The wrapper stays thin; the interior stays juicy. A standout item, and a rarity in the Bay Area. Cold Noodles (Naengmyeon) A textbook bowl: * Broth clean and chilled * Buckwheat noodles with bounce instead of mush * Two precise slices of beef on top -- tender, thin, and chosen specifically because they don't fight the noodles' texture A lot of restaurants get this wrong; Jang Su Jang gets it exactly right. Spicy Shredded Beef Noodle Soup Deep red broth, long strands of tender shredded beef, and vegetables cut for texture rather than decoration. A bowl built for cold days, and executed with discipline. Service & Atmosphere Service here is closer to Korean fine dining than casual K-BBQ: * Full uniforms * Structured training * Staff who monitor your grill without interrupting * Adjusting cuts based on who's at the table * Cutting, rotating, and finishing the meat so you don't have to guess You feel taken care of - not rushed, not ignored. And yes, you'll leave with a little grill aroma on your clothes. That's the mark of a proper K-BBQ house - an imprint of the experience. A Note on Hanwoo If you truly want to experience Hanwoo, the most direct path is simple: from SFO or SJC, a few hours in the air puts you in Seoul eating the real thing. But within the Bay Area, Jang Su Jang is the closest expression of classical Korean grilling done right. If any restaurant here were to introduce Hanwoo one day, this is the one that deserves to serve it. In a region full of modern, high-tech, all-you-can-eat K-BBQ concepts, Jang Su Jang stands alone as the Bay Area's classical Korean reference point - precise, disciplined, and anchored in real craft. Five stars- on execution alone. - Dr C Only writing for what truly earns the stars.

The attitude of the servers was not welcoming. 2. Side dishes are supposed to be refillable up to three times, but even getting a refill was difficult. I've never experienced service like this before. Definitely not coming back.

I highly recommend getting the cheese on top, it provides a creamy contrast to the sharp flavors of the meat. I'm still thinking about the braised beef short rib - it was just that delicious!

    A Korean Dining Experience That Belongs in a Different League…read more I've eaten Korean food all over the country -- LA, NYC, you name it -- and Kunjip Tofu in Mountain View is legitimately one of the best Korean dining experiences I've ever had. Full stop. This place is operating at a level that makes most Korean restaurants in the Bay Area look like they're still in the minor leagues. Let's start with the Crispy Chilean Seabass, because it deserves its own paragraph. The fish arrives beautifully seared with a perfectly charred exterior, flaky and impossibly moist inside, finished with fresh herbs and a side of wasabi. It's plated with the elegance of a fine dining course, not what you'd expect from a tofu house. The contrast of textures, that crispy skin against the silky white flesh, is something you'll be thinking about on the drive home. The Black Cod Tofu Soup (순두부찌개) arrives bubbling and volcanic in its stone vessel, a deep crimson broth that hits you with complex heat and umami before you even take a bite. The tofu is house-made, silken and cloud-soft, and the broth has layers of flavor that only come from a kitchen that actually cares about what goes into it. It's spicy, it's savory, it's soul-warming, and it's the kind of dish that converts people into Korean food obsessives. Then there's the Wagyu dish, and if you're a meat lover, buckle up. The A5 Wagyu is marbled like a painting and melts on your tongue with a richness that earns every dollar of the price tag. Whether you get it in the soup or as the galbi, the quality of the protein sets Kunjip apart from every other Korean spot in the South Bay. The Purple Rice is a beautiful detail that shows this kitchen sweats the small stuff. Nutty, slightly sticky, served in a polished copper bowl alongside your meal. Not a garnish. A statement. The Banchan (Side Dishes): Every entrée comes with an incredible spread of banchan, and I counted over ten distinct sides: kimchi, pickled cucumber, spicy radish, seasoned greens, braised anchovies, quail eggs, sweet pumpkin mash, and more. Refills are available, the staff keeps an eye on your table, and each one is clearly made in-house with intention. The kimchi alone is some of the best I've had at any restaurant. Service and Wait Times: Here's the most important thing to know before you go: call ahead. This place does not take online reservations the traditional way. Your best move is to call the restaurant directly to get on the list. If you walk in during peak dinner hours on a Friday or Saturday night, expect a wait of an hour or two, and it is absolutely worth it. Pro tip: Aim for between 2:00 and 5:00 PM on a weekday or weekend. It's the slowest window of the day and you'll practically walk right in. Midweek lunch is also a great option if your schedule allows. Either way, call ahead and save yourself the wait. The service itself is exceptional. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm without being overbearing. They know every item on the menu and will guide you well if it's your first time. Bottom Line: This is Michelin-caliber Korean food in a modern, beautifully designed space and it's right here in Mountain View. If you love Korean food, this is your spot. If you've never been into Korean food, Kunjip Tofu will change that. Come hungry, call ahead, and prepare to be blown away. 1962 W El Camino Real, Mountain View | (650) 282-5195

    This is our second time here, so excited to come back. We like that they are kids friendly, the…read morehighchair is nice and they get a kids drinking cup. But this time our server also completely disappeared, we saw her once in the beginning to ask for water but she never came back with water but I saw her go back to all the other tables.. So we had to flag down others to take care of us. Not sure if what happened was cause she didn't like my Caucasian husband or cause we didn't speak Korean... not impressed. Will do take out if we come back. We got the cinnamon drink, Wagyu galbi, seafood pancake, japchae and Wagyu bugolgi. Everything was solid. The Wagyu bugolgi was a bit salty.

Another landmark is that it's right next to the Super 8 by Wyndham. Both share the parking lot, so finding a spot can be difficult, but there's street parking available too. RESERVATION/HOST I made a reservation for 3 at 7:30PM on a Saturday evening. I'm glad I planned ahead because, upon entering, there were about 5 parties waiting to be seated. My party was greeted warmly and was quickly seated after my reservation was confirmed. SERVICE Very prompt and professional service. The BBQ meats were cooked consistently, and every request was accommodated. FOOD Chungdam focuses on delivering high-quality meats for your Korean BBQ experience. The banchan was delicious! I was surprised that three spicy raw baby crabs were served. To be honest, it was my first time trying it despite hearing about the hype. It paired pretty well with rice. The dressing and condiments were perfect. I appreciated that salt was provided since we ordered all non-marinade meats. The fermented bean curd dip was my favorite. The seafood pancake we ordered took a bit longer to arrive, but it was delicious and crispy! The seafood was cut into perfect bite-sized pieces, so you get seafood in every bite. -USDA PRIME 차돌박이 100z - Cha-Dol (Beef Brisket, Thinly Sliced) -USDA PRIME 생갈비 16oz - Seng Galbi (Non marinaded Prime short rib) -Seafood Pancake Overall, the Korean food was delicious, and the customer service was excellent. We were even greeted when leaving. They offer kimchi for takeout in jars, available in 16oz and 32oz sizes. I particularly enjoyed the kimchi and had it refilled during dinner, so I decided to buy a 16oz jar to enjoy at home.
