One of the best jerky's you will have, sweet, savory, and spicy! They have all types of flavors but the best is the one riddled with pepper seeds! Service was quick and took credit cards. Ambiance is lowkey located in North Natomas read more

Disappointed with a recent batch labeled best by 9/28/26. I'm not sure if it's a change in meat source or a dehydration issue, but this particular batch was tough as leather. I literally was chewing until my jaw muscles ached, it was tough! Usually it's very crispy and easy to eat, my go to quick jerky snack whenever I do grocery shopping at one of the Asian supermarkets. It was always a nice treat to get, but this batch was a disappointment. Will try again next time, if it's bad again I would think their quality went downhill. read more

This is my families favorite jerky. We are definitely repeat customers! The sweet and the hot go perfectly together. Chef kiss!

Hands down THE BEST JERKY. Plain, garlic, onion..chefs kiss! Watch where you get it from tho because some businesses up charge! Only Jerry I will eat! read more

This is hands down the best Jerkey that I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Please make it forever lol

Lj's Jerky is the ABSOLUTE hands down BEST Jerky EVER!!!! I literally can't get enough of it!!! It's my monthly treat to myself!! Don't ever stop producing this!!! And it's local too!!! I'm gonna have to take a field trip over to the factory!!! Thank you so much!!! read more

I haven't had this in quite some time. Can't find time to drive to Sacktown for this so ordered online, but this jerky is not worth missing out on, must be tried at least once. I can safely say it's the best I've had in my life. Closest second was Yosemite's hot teriyaki flavor, but a far 2nd. Don't expect healthy, it's not without alot of fat, msg, heat and sugar; but you cannot compare the flavor, texture or anything else about it to another jerky with a sane face. Expect crispy meat and fat jerky pieces flavored to perfection and a bit of grease in that crunch. They do not waste the fat and I truly appreciate this. Definitely not as healthy but also doesn't waste so much of the animal only to make a slightly healthier product. It's a treat, not an everyday eat, though you'll wish you could. Favorite by far is the Original Hot (miss the extra hot), and the original garlic for a first try was surprisingly good (garlic lovers only). Please support this little company, I first tried this over 5 years ago and they have not compromised at all on flavor. read more

LJ's Beef Jerky - Small bags of Jerky - Candy Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

Hot garlic is for sure the best I have ever had. I wish you could find the bigger bags as I think 11 dollars for shipping is pretty steep.

amazing!!!!! i buy 20 to 200 bags of this stuff as much as i can!!!! its crispy and delicious

first time buyer and i would have to give a shout out to LJ's for having the most favorable jerky out there. I have tried many kinds of jerky over the years, and this is by far the best out there! You have my business now and forever. read more

Absolutely the best jerky I have every had. Don't buy the commercial store bought brands. This jerky is hand crafted to perfection.

This is by far the best jerky I've ever had. I'm from Sacramento and was introduced to it 10 years ago or so. I've since moved away but every time I come to Sac to visit I stock up on it. I've gifted it to friends and family during the holidays and have had multiple people tell me the taste and texture is the best they've ever had. I cannot recommend it enough. read more

LJ's Beef Jerky - Candy Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

After going to five different locations, looking for anything but spicy, I said it on trying the spicy beef jerky ( only option). The jerky tasted like a lard. Never again will I buy this brand. read more

This Jerky is amazing! I was on a remote project in Northern California and starting buying this jerky at a nearby market. Over a one-week period, I purchased probably 8-10 bags of different flavors and it was devoured immediately. Once back home in Idaho, I ordered 10 more bags to be shipped to my home. This stuff has no comparison! read more

THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE BEEF JERKY I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR! I've never been the biggest fan of beef jerky because I have only tried stuff like Jack Link's: dry, hard, and too chewy. But when I had friends who shared beef jerky from out of town with me from elsewhere, I HAD to search for something similar in the area and LJ's Jerky hits my craving!! I wanted something spicy, slightly sweet, and crispy to where it would flake/break off and easy to chew for my sensitive teeth and this jerky is perfect! As soon as I took my first bite, I was already thinking how dangerously addicting these could be. This is my first time purchasing online from LJ's and it took about a week for my jerky to arrive in the mail (I also received an email of the USPS tracking number once it was shipped - about 3 to 4 business days). I'm very happy with the quality and taste of the jerky and will definitely be ordering again when I run out. I'm just a little sad that even though I'm also in Sacramento, the shipping costs $8.50, which costs more than one 2.5oz packet of jerky. I want to buy it in stores but I don't want to go hunting for it around town, since there is no guarantee that any listed locations would have them in stock so unfortunately, I'll have to stick to the expensive shipping price until I decide to search for it in stores. read more

LJ's Beef Jerky - HOT Beef Jerky - Candy Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

My mouth is currently on fire, yet I would put it through that pain again for this jerky. I happen to just be looking for somewhere new to shop so I drove out to Sacramento from Suisun. I found an asian market called SF Supermarket, and I saw this jerky being sold at the registers. I wasn't even going to buy it but I told myself, you know, I don't come out here often. Last chance to try something new, so I bought it. I didn't even realize that I bought HOT. After I opened it and felt the jerky in my hands I knew this was going to be the one I was searching for. I don't like chewy jerky. I like them crispy and breaks when you bend them. The only thing that could have made this better was if it was brittle. The taste was sweet and spicy and crispy! I LOVE IT. read more

Literally the best jerky I have ever had ! I order directly from website and they are quick to response and quick to send out a fresh batch. I love all the regular flavors and the onion flavors ! Already making my mouth water just thinking about it. Super crunchy and bursting with sooo much flavors ! If you're craving, I recommend ordering directly from website. It's soo much more fresh and crispy compared to the stores ! And you get to order the onion flavor which is very delicious! read more

Straight up more sugar and corn syrup than meat. Got their "HOT" and it tasted like a plain piece of taffy with pepper flakes. Perhaps this is some different culture's interpretation of jerky, but this honky is left totally confused as to how the 2.5oz I purchased was worth $8. read more

best jerkey ever ! literally the best jerkey of all time. literally just melts in mouth. once we start eating its a wrap.. no stopping lol read more

Known the owners for a long time since they first started selling. The price has definitely gotten steeper since the business began because it's so dang good but overall you can't find better jerky than this. I recommend the spicy beef jerky. If you can't take spice their teriyaki is pretty bomb too if they still sell it. Many Asian stores sell this and they are restocked on certain days so best to ask the workers when they get restocks for fresher jerky. Sucks that the bags the jerky comes in is so small. They used to sell huge bags about 1-2 pounds of jerky but I never see that anymore sadly. read more

My little sister first introduced me to this beef jerky brand. They have an original kind and a HOT kind. The bf recently picked some up at the SF Supermarket in Sacramento (free parking lot with other businesses). Not sure where else they sell it. Not gonna lie... the jerky is pricey ($6.50/pack) and probably not good for you but it tastes delicious! It's savory, spicy and also caramelized. There are some fatty parts but they taste good too. Really good flavor! read more

See all

Hands down the best beef jerky I have ever had in my lifetime. It's the right hint of smokiness and the texture of the fat is amazing. Think of it as a caramelized beef jerky. It is not your typical chewy and dry jerky. It has a nice glaze and crunch to it. There's a couple of Asian stores in Sacramento that carries it and I usually buy 5 bags at the minimum. read more

$8 for just a little bit jerkey and they saying. It s affordable lol. It is unhealthy jerkey and It s not worth it

It was ok. Still searching the country for a favorite jerky. I can see why people enjoy it. My taste profile is different

My all time favorite beef jerky. This is a must when I'm in the sac area visiting friends or family. I'll usually go to one of the local Asian stores to stock up. My brother and his wife will go to multiple shops and buy their whole stock. Its a little pricier than your normal beef jerky, but so worth the splurge. For those not in the area, lucky you, you can order online! I don't eat it often enough to taste a difference when buying it in person vs online because its good to me either way. Jerry is pretty good about keeping you updated on your order too. Get the spicy. It has a kick with the chili flakes dried on it. The original is good, but once you've tried it spicy, it feels like there's something missing. It's salty, sweet, spicy, smoky, crispy, chewy, and fatty satisfying all my cravings at once. It's so good, I have to buy my man his own set of bags cause I refuse to share mine. What's his is mine and what's mine is mine. read more

Best beef jerky I've ever had the garlic hot is so good. I miss being able to go to his moms house and purchasing it now I buy from the liquor store. Still same flavor so good. I wish he would pick up the phone so I could order from him. read more

Best darn beef jerky in town! It's tasty and just heart clotting good! Full of fat and smothered with sticky honey! It's not your topical convenient store, located in the hood, in a complex house to be exact, it's kind of an iffy neighborhood, but it's so worth taking the drive. They have candies, sodas, and pickles with pepper sauce for sale! But everyone goes for the beef jerky! If you don't want to go to the house, they also have their beef jerky for sale at other stores, such as T&Y Market and Pathong Market. They are not as fresh as if you were to get it at the house, but its still good! read more

LJ's Beef Jerky - Candy Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

Back in 2010 when they first started off it taste way better but now it's way too sweet that the sugar overpowers the beef flavor. I guess they changed the recipe. read more

This is really good. Some tips 1) It is very fatty. 2) Online purchase isn't as fresh as when purchased from store. 3) Hot flavor is more of a sweet hot. Very tasty. 4) Expensive, but worth it. read more

I ordered online and the shipping was fast to MN! Love the hot packet! Fatty and juicy but the original was kinda dry.

Seriously meat crack. They sell this stuff at SF supermarket for way too much but once you try it, it's so worth it. Regular jerky will never satisfy. It's sweet and melt-in-your-mouth and spicy and salty, and I'm so reluctant to share with anyone else how much we love this jerky. It's too bad they don't sell it at very many places. But really, the best jerky ever. read more

I've been eating LJ beef jerky for a long time, since moving away from Sacramento to the Bay Area, I always stop by SF market on meadow view to buy 5-6 bags. As another reviewer said the online order can be hit and miss, the last batch online I had 4/5 bags or so were stale tasting and didn't have that slight crunch you get when you order it stores. Not sure if this is a online issue but never had a problem in stores. read more

Not sure what they put in their beef jerky, but its so damn addicting! Kinda pricey for 3.5 oz bag. I don't care! I want it. I gotta have it! I'm glad they have online ordering now. More convenient for me. I hate driving to the Asian markets that carry the jerky. They are so far from where I live. I've ordered twice online. Takes about 5 days to get to you. LOL Mind you I am in Sacramento. Hey you better have patience if you're too lazy to drive to the nearest Asian market. read more

LJ's Beef Jerky - Mmmmm....meat candy!! - Candy Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

BEST BEEF JEKY I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE . A friend told me about this candy house in the hood you could go to . like 2 years of going there one day I went and they told me they stopped selling it . I almost died ... I couldn't go on with out it and I searched online and found out there in a bunch of Asian supermarkets now and you can order it online . what a relief !!!! The original is perfect . the spicy is very hot I always need some milk with it but its soooooooo delicious !!! **** PLACED AN ONLINE ORDER AND ENEVER RECIEVED MY JERKY :(((( read more

I am obsessed with this jerky. I have moved to Texas a few years ago, but whenever I come back to Sac to visit I buy AT LEAST 10 bags to take home. I am not keen on their delivery service, and it's definitely fresher when you buy it from the store. It would not be too much to say that I am addicted to this. My husband had to hide some of the bags I bought just to make them last longer because I would go through them so quickly. My favorite is the Hot, it's a sweet heat and the chunks of crispy fat that are melty and flavorful are the best. read more

THE BEST BEEF JERKY EVVERRRRR!!So I was a regular when it was being sold at the house, bought so much she would usually throw in the little 1.50 bags. Was so bummed out when I hear it was all done and I had to only get the 5.99 back (which is too small for me). I now go to a little store up the street and they sell 20 bags of it NO TAX. Although there's no $10 bag I'm still happy! :) read more

LJ's Beef Jerky - a bag of beef jerky - Candy Stores Near Me - Sacramento, California

This is by far the best beef jerky I've ever had. I just love the sweetness and how the fat is sweet and slightly crunchy. I have to eat the hot flavored ones because the heat forces me to eat slowly and pace myself :-) read more
