The menu is pretty comprehensive with option from tang, bimbimbap, grilled, tofu soup, and appetizer. Each person have to order one. The order come with individual tray for each one with set of banchan. The banchan is refillable except the abalone if I am not mistaken. This is the first time I have abalone as part of banchan. We ordered seafood pancake, kunjip tofu, octopus bimbimbap, seafood tofu soup, grilled markarel, and spicy pork bulgogi. The foods were yummy. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and it was yummy dinner with good service.

They have the milk coffee, black bean drink, and hot chocolate. I loved the black bean drink as it was so delicious and creamy! The inside has an elevated and upscale aesthetics. There were waiters going around with the banchan dishes for any refills. Each person is required to get their own entree. We got the wagyu galbi, galbi jjim, grilled mackerel, and seafood tofu soup. My favorite was the wagyu galbi. It was high quality, tender, and full of flavor. Wonderful experience! Will be coming back!

There were several tables filled up already, and they just opened at 11:30am. My bf was craving tofu soup so he got the original tofu soup with beef and medium spice level. While I got the bulgogi pork lunch size, and that was flavorful and not really spicy. We enjoyed the banchan, and it was really interesting to have purple rice. It was pretty different. I definitely love fluffy white rice more, but it was good to try the purple rice. The place was modern with a touch of warmness and traditional Korean flare. Service was attentive and friendly. They have a parking lot with plenty of spots. We would definitely return again. :)

I came here for lunch with 3 other friends last Saturday. I used to come here for lunch while I was…read moreworking nearby 10+ years ago. I picked this restaurant because of its location, its spacious parking lot, and that they're not too crowded on weekends. We got a corner table inside a big room. Not only were they not completely full, the spacing between tables were pretty good as well. Staff were super friendly. It's a perfect place for us to catch up with each other without feeling rushed nor guilty. All four of us ordered the organic tofu soup. I had the mushroom one (medium spicy). It came piping hot with a raw egg. It was the perfect spicy level for me. (One of us ordered hot, and said that it was quite a bit more spicy than she expected.) I loved the assorted mushrooms inside my tofu soup. My friends all enjoyed their selections as well, and we loved the texture of the purple rice. The amount of ingredients inside the tofu soup was pretty generous. We also got refills for our banchans. There're 5 different kinds of banchans. They're on the sweeter side and not as flavorful as I would like, though. Overall, it's a delicious and satisfying lunch, and we all had a good time.

The brisket was some of the best brisket we've had a kbbq. Most places serve it much thinner than here but we liked it here a lot. 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'd definitely come back since everything, even the banchan was delicious. Definitely make a reservation though, since the wait can be a little long!

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.

The meal felt generous right away because all the banchan came out beautifully arranged, and there was a really nice mix of kimchi, vegetables, fish cake, noodles, and pickled sides that made the whole table look abundant and inviting. The service was fast and super friendly. We ordered cold noodles and a hot stone bowl, and the contrast between the two was especially enjoyable. The cold noodles were very refreshing, chewy, and perfect for a warm day, with a nice savory tang and crisp vegetables on top. The stone bowl was comforting and filling, and I loved mixing everything together while it was still hot. Both dishes felt balanced and satisfying. One of the best parts of the meal was the spread of side dishes. There were so many little bites to go with the mains, and it made the experience feel complete and traditional. The atmosphere was casual and cozy, which made it a great place for a relaxed lunch or dinner. A solid choice when you are craving Korean comfort food with generous portions and plenty of banchan.

Jang Su Jang is one of the Bay Area's few Korean restaurants that still practices classical,…read moretechnique-driven K-BBQ at a level that feels disciplined rather than theatrical. 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.

I normally go to the…read moreMilpitas location where the service and food are consistently good, so I didn't expect this at all. We came in as a party of seven and were seated in a corner where it felt like no one paid attention to us. We had to call the server multiple times just to request side dishes, which made the whole experience frustrating. It honestly felt like we were forgotten most of the time. A few things to note: 1. 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.

If you're in Mountain View and can't decide between hot pot or KBBQ, this place is a lifesaver. The…read moresetup is actually pretty cool because you get your own individual hot pot so you don't have to share broth, but there's still a shared grill in the middle for the BBQ. The all-you-can-eat is the move here. The meat quality is solid--the wagyu beef and spicy pork belly usually hit the spot on the grill. On the hot pot side, the pork bone broth is a safe bet, and the spicy broth actually has a decent kick to it. Also, they have those little fried buns with condensed milk that are dangerously good. They give ice cream at the end with a cone which is sweet dessert. The vibe is super lively and loud, definitely not a quiet dinner spot. They even have those robots rolling around bringing out plates, which is kind of funny to watch. Service is quick; you just order everything on your phone and it shows up fast. Just remember the 90 minute limit. It's clean, modern, and you'll definitely leave feeling like you need a nap. Great spot to hit with a group if you're looking to get a lot of food without breaking the bank.

I assumed they are newly opened but now im unsure since there are reviews way back from 2019. But…read morethis is as my first time coming here and im wondering if I would come back - Staff is super friendly and attentive - Broths are very bland. I understand that it might be intentional so it can be customizable from the big variety of sauces at the sauce bar. But I would say its very lacking. No salt, no depth. Almost like flavored water. - Portions are okay. It's AYCE so it makes sense that their portions are smaller. but it is much smaller than places ive been to. Please be mindful when you decide which meat to be on the grill as majority of them is to be for hotpot. so it will dissolve on the grill the moment you realize it. - Meat quality is fine for AYCE. However there are some thats a bit questioning. The spicy beef is just the thinniest slices that are marinaded in the chili oil. But after cooking the texture and even flavor is very very off. I highly recommend getting the Finger Cubes BBQ (i think), nice blend of fat and meat and def the most flavorful. - ORDERING SYSTEM is a nightmare. Since the portions are so small, you would have to order multiple rounds and there is a time block apparently so you dont over order. But the system is so slow and not intuitive at all. At first i thought they are just opened and would give it some time to improve. But now i dont see myself coming back at all.

We came around lunch, but it wasn't too busy. We were seated quickly, and ordered two Kurobata pork belly pepper rices, one with added egg, a side of curry, and a chicken karaage. The sizzling plates come as a relatively blank art piece - flavored only by the aromatic garlic butter, here you are the artist.

We typically end up with a colorful dish that reheats into leftovers that make your house smell amazing. We typically like the pork belly a lot more than the beef options. The curry was surprisingly good. It's thick, while being not too salty. There's little bits of onion and mushroom in it. The chicken karaage was fine.
