I went on a Monday evening and seats were half full! Service was fast, food basically comes right when you order using the QR code. I was impressed by their 3 sauces because 1 of them tasted like the one from Tasty Pot! The other sauces were sweet vinegar sauce which is pretty common and ranch. Appetizer-wise, we really liked their fried panko shrimp which was pretty crispy on the outside and delicate on the inside. They also had fried chicken. I'd pass on their new Thai marinated pork which was pretty mild in flavor. Same with the ginormous prawns unless you season it yourself. read more

Went to Zajang Grill with our family and it did not disappoint us. The meat quality was solid and everything tasted really fresh. The staff were super attentive too -- they came by quick to serve and refill our water. The beef short ribs was probably my favorite. Also appreciated that the place felt clean and not overly smoky like some KBBQ spots can get. Only small downside was that it got pretty busy, so there was a bit of a wait, but once we sat down the service moved quickly. Overall a really good spot if you're craving Korean BBQ. I'd definitely come back. All of the staff were really nice and polite. Shout out to one of our servers, Caleb!!! :) read more

Another great Asian foodie place in clement! Service is relatively okay as you order through a QR code, you'll need to flag down the waiters if you need additional condiments as such, there's not much staffing so it'll be a minute! (Maybe just for a Friday night which was packed so it's okay) Vibes are great with decent seating; for a table of two we had a table enough for six! Affordable AYCE Korean bbq with a unique dipping sauce; the cilantro mayo provides a yummy refreshing taste to whatever meat you pair it with. read more

always good, excellent customer service, consistent w/the portion Meat are fresh, I can't say any negative about this spot, we've been dining in here since they opened and every time they are awesome. read more

10/10 -- it's an experience and a challenge all in one. You pay a flat rate and get 90 minutes to grill to your heart's desire. The only extra charge is for leftovers, so you can really eat as much as you want here. Each table has its own grilling area, giving you your own space to cook and enjoy the experience. Would love to come again. read more

I've been coming to this spot since college (back when it was still Carbon Grill) and I'm so happy to see that even 6+ years later, Zajang Grill still carries elements of our favorite KBBQ place. My brother and I used to come here once a week, and even though we both live further down the Peninsula now, we still make the trek at least once a month because it's that good. Ordering is super easy (just scan the QR code on your phone), and the meat quality is consistently amazing. They have a really good selection of your typical KBBQ meats (all-you-can-eat for a great price) and everything is always fresh and flavorful. What really makes it for me is that green cilantro mayo sauce. I always ask for an extra bowl because I'm obsessed. The river prawns are also a must-order! The staff is always friendly, the service is quick, and the whole experience feels effortless. Definitely one of my favorite KBBQ spots in SF, worth every drive up! read more

Zajang Grill - Grill full of brisket! - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Wait time is long but everyone has a 90 minute limit when eating so understandable. Food was good it was served fast. More choices of sauces would be nicer read more

Keep in mind you get only 90 minutes like most AYCE BBQ spots, so I always come in with a plan to min-max! But seriously, this place is great and it feels like a sports bar with TVs all around and plenty of drinks ready to go. The food is fresh, and the ordering is super easy. Just scan the QR code, and up to 6 people in your party can stack in their orders straight from the menu. Food comes out quickly, grill plates are changed consistently throughout the meal, and the water jug filled without even asking. This place is perfect for pairs to groups of four, but once you go past that it gets super challenging to cook the stack of meat over just one cooking station. We had 6 in our party, so I took charge of the grill station myself to keep the pace flowing. Definitely a fun spot to hang out with friends over food and drinks. The only thing I would love to see is a stronger cooked menu. More appetizer and soup options would enhance the dining experience. read more

4.5 stars My friends and I recently checked out Zajang Grill and had a phenomebal time. We were party of 20 and service was absolutely impeccable. We ordered so many items off of the menu and everything was really good. Some of my favorite items were the beef kalbi, Thai tea, pork belly and the chicken bites. The staff was very friendly and they kept on coming by to change our grill and also made sure that we didn't leave hungry. The restaurant was super busy on a Sunday night but the staff always checked up on us to make sure that we had plenty of food for our entire party. Dinner is around $40 a person with a 90-minute time limit. But that is more than enough to get your money's worth. I'm usually done after 2 or 3 rounds lol. I left feeling very full but satisfied and I would totally come back. Also, free parking all day on Sundays! read more

Had a yummy meal at this place. The meal comes with a complimentary ice cream scoop of ice cream so make sure to get it. Service is quick. The place is clean, just really smoky. They leave the doors open to air it out so it's pretty cold in winter. So bring a jacket. Regardless I enjoyed my time here. read more

We loved our experience at Zajang!! The all-you-can-eat food was all delicious, the atmosphere fresh (not too smoky; the ventilation was good), the water jug was always filled, and the grill consistently replaced when burnt. I do wish that they had japchae, but honestly other than that, it was a wonderful and fulfilling experience. Our favorite dishes include the beef bulgogi, the cheese corn, the pickled radish, the fish cakes, the enoki wrapped in bacon, the asparagus and zucchini, the chicken tenders, and the dumplings. The menu interface was great, too; the ordering page (online, QR code-scanned) tracks what others are ordering at the same time so it's very streamlined and easy to monitor, without overlapping requests and accidental double-orders. And it also tells you your history of what you've ordered in total! read more

I enjoyed the grill experience here! Came on a Saturday evening of a long weekend and there was a small wait. They have a solid selection of meats, and the river prawns were nice for sure. It's pretty casual inside -- a little slow on the day we went but overall good addition to the Richmond! read more

Brought my parents here for a Mother's Day lunch because my mom had been craving Korean BBQ. Service was very attentive and even though it was empty inside when we were seated for our reservation, the place filled up pretty quickly for lunch. A good amount of space in between the tables made for a comfortable eating experience. Can't beat all you can eat! read more

Arrived at Zajang grill around 830 pm on a Friday evening and the waitlist was long. My party of 2 waited about 45 minutes but I would say it was worth it, although the smells of everyone's meals made me sooo hungry while waiting. It was a nice treat that we were able to order beer and soju while waiting from the bar area. Zajang has a good variety of items and everything tasted good, honestly, there was nothing I didn't like. My favorites would have to be the beef belly, steamed egg, and marinated short ribs. The pricing is reasonable, especially for an all you can eat spot. The staff were polite and engaged throughout our time there and even offered us ice cream to and our meal. Lastly, one small thing that I appreciated is that you have to order each banchan individually, instead of them already being set on their table like many other Korean spots, I'm here for anything that promotes less food waste. This is my second time here and I'd definitely return again. read more

Great food, great price, loved the spicy Thai dipping sauce, and amazing service provided by a server named Zack. He was super fast. Reminded me of Speedy Gonzales and overall fast friendly staff. The only downside, got super super full. read more

The decoration here is fun with red color. Lot of soju selections. The food here is terrific. They have many selection of the dipping sauces that will fit your taste buds. They offer Thai style seafood aside as well. Amazing! Services were really great. Richard and Sun are our waiters. Both of them were so nice had Sevices minded. They came with smiling serving us our meat. After meal, they brought out cookie and cream ice cream for us. Tastes so good, not sweet but so creamy. Richard came to check on us and offered another round of ice cream. He was so kind to offer that. Our bellies are happy with their hospitality. Definitely, we will be back. read more

Tried out Zajang Grill with a group of 6, I hadn't gone to KBBQ in quite some time so I was excited to eat here. We had a reservation and were seated while we were waiting for the rest of our party. Service was pretty good, we had the AYCE 90-minute time limit and online ordering system explained to us when we sat down. We tried all the different types of meats and flavorings they had, and I found the quality really varied. Of the proteins, we only really liked the beef belly, bbq pork, and river prawns, though you are limited to 2 river prawns per person. The brisket and bulgogi were too lean and quite chewy, and nothing stood out about the pork belly. The banchan, while varied, were overall disappointing - kimchi was old and bean sprouts lacked flavor. I did enjoy the pickled radish, which was sliced into thin circles and went well with the richer meats. The sauces were kinda weird, they had a ssamjang, light soy, and ranch?? I found the ranch so off-putting lol. Overall, the food itself is a 3/5, but with the solid service, I'll round it up to 4/5. If I ever came again I would just stick to the meats I liked this time. read more

Came on a Sunday around 1, there was no wait. The food is all ordered on a QR code, which was really convenient. You can even ask for a grill change or water via the site. We really enjoyed the beef tongue, marinated galbi, and Thai pork. The corn cheese wasn't too oily and the side dishes were all standard. The steamed egg was a bit on the overcooked/dry side but it is an ayce place. The wide variety of meats, not overly sweet marinades, and quick service is what will bring me back to this place! read more

Nice Korean bbq joint on Clement. You can stuff your stomach and take a walk around to burn the calories. Their bucket soju is perfect for two people. Meat options are pretty typical of what you will find in similar places. Bulgogi spiced is the bomb. The waiters are attentive and they bring nice midsize people so you can try many things. read more

So I'm not the biggest KBBQ fan but I must say the 2x I've been here, it's been great both times. Service is generally fantastic, prices aren't bad, & music is usually decent. This time, we went a bit earlier so we avoided any wait, but they do get a waitlist the later you go. read more

I love this place! Great Korean BBQ experience. High-quality meat, very fresh, and perfectly marinated. The grills are clean, service is fast and attentive, and the staff explains everything clearly, which is nice if you're not a K-BBQ expert. Side dishes are flavorful and constantly refilled. Cozy atmosphere, great for both friends and family. Definitely coming back. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm, wasn't too busy and was seated right away. QR code menu made ordering quick and easy. Our meats and side dishes came out almost immediately! Favorite dish was the steamed egg and corn cheese. Loved how there were a good selection of meats even though I mainly ordered brisket and marinated galbi. Not too much fat on the brisket and the galbi was very flavorful and tender. read more

Placed an order, made the tip 40% of entire order and Got ignored...no food, no answer...nothing.

Delivery of food was quick and simple to order. Everything was fresh and ready to grill. Loved the decor of the restaurant. Be aware that if you come with a big group that you'll pay an extra tax. Also any food you don't finish, they will charge you for it. Other than that it was a great experience read more

We had made a reservation for our group, and were seated quickly. It wasn't too busy, so they didn't seem to be enforcing a time limit. You order through your phone, and they bring everything out fairly quickly. There's a lot of variety, with different marinades for different kinds of meat, as well as a lot of already-cooked foods as well. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed by the quality of the meat. The pork belly wasn't bad, but the bulgogi was tough to eat. The seafood and the beef belly were probably the best, but everything else was just okay. The banchan and sides could also have been better, but most of the banchan lacked flavor. The service, though, was great! They came to check on us regularly for grill changes and food was brought out quickly. They also give you ice cream at the end of your meal. For the price, I wasn't impressed by the quality of the meat, but we may have come on an off-day. read more

The banchan selection here is ok. As for the meat choices, the only ones I liked were the shrimp, beef belly and brisket. The shrimp tempura was really good too. The dipping sauces they offered were lacking. If you want salt and pepper you have to request it from the waiter. I do like the ordering system where you scan the QR code so you don't have to flag a waiter down. An issue I encountered here was when I tried to pay the bill but the machine wasn't working. I saw the employee walk away with my credit card when he was going to have me just tap and tip on the small hand held machine. But he walked away with my card and didn't verbalize or communicate there was an issue. It took him about 15 mins to come back with my card. The seats are uncomfortable here too because they have no back support. read more

Been here twice now like 7 years apart, but both times I was thoroughly pleased with the quality of the food and service. The staff quickly seated us (4 ppl on a Tuesday at 8pm), and were super attentive (changed out our grill multiple times and refilled sauces / water right when we needed it but before we'd even ask). Quality of meats was great, and the ambiance was very cool / laid back. I'd definitely recommend. read more

The food was great except for the bulgogi which had some really chewy parts. The River Prawn was ok . The shrimps were a little soggy ., The service from Edmond and Curtiss was excellent. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. They kept checking back with me to see if I was still going to order more. They were so polite and kind.,The place was very clean and nicely decorated. I will be back for sure. I highly recommend the place. read more

Was in the area and looking for an all you can eat place. Came around 12 in the afternoon on a Sunday. It wasn't too busy, however, I believe there was only one server. Honestly, he did really good for how many people there were! You can tell he was rushing though. Personally I think the price was a bit high. I've definitely had good AYCE KBBQ for under $40 in other areas around the Bay. However, the nice thing about this place was that you can order endless amounts. Some places only allow you to order 3 or 4 at a time, and you order it all through your phone! The place seems small on the outside but is definitely a lot bigger inside. The food was also really good and you can tell its quality! 4 stars just because of the price and because I'm not sure if it was just that weekend, but I do think there needs to be at least one other staff member. With that being said, our sever was nice and I really give him props for serving 10 tables at one time!! read more

Zajang Grill - Kalbi & beef tongue - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

there aren't that many good options for kbbq in sf, so i was weary about trying another one at first. but my friends and i have been to zajang grill a few times now, and each time was great! it's not usually crowded, and the service is very fast. food comes out quickly, water is refilled, and grills are changed when needed. ordering is easy through the phone! parking is available on the street, and i never have too much trouble finding a spot nearby. i really liked the selection of meats, and i thought they were relatively good quality. the portion sizes were perfect - not too much so that we could try a wide variety. my personal favorites were the beef tongue, which was slightly firm but tender, and miso pork belly, which was savory and rich with miso flavor. i like beef brisket and beef belly at almost every kbbq place, but i preferred the beef belly here because the fat made it softer. the brisket was definitely more lean. i would recommend ordering the river prawns just because they limit it to one per person. they reminded me of sweet shrimp. the other meats were good too. the spicy pork belly had a gochujang-based flavor, which was slightly sweet and spicy, and the regular pork belly was fine. i appreciated that the pork belly cuts weren't too fatty or thick. the marinated beef short ribs had a good galbi flavor. i'm not the biggest fan of beef bulgogi in general, but i thought it tasted standard here. the spicy beef bulgogi had a similar flavor to the spicy pork belly. the mushroom bacon was enoki mushrooms wrapped in bacon, but the bacon kept falling apart so it was a bit of a mess. the only meat i was a little disappointed by was the thai bbq pork. it sounded interesting but ended up tasting similar to a light teriyaki sauce, which wasn't bad but not something we would've ordered. as for sides, they offered all of the necessities. the steamed egg was a little denser than usual and kind of plain. the kimchi and radish were okay - they lacked depth and weren't the best in terms of flavor. the fish cake was fine. the corn cheese was good and cheesy, although i would've liked it better if the cheese was slightly sweet. i was happy that they offered rice paper, which i always eat with the meat. three sauces were included: a slightly sweet and spicy seafood sauce that reminded me of ssamjang but wasn't quite it, a typical brisket sauce, and a cilantro mayo sauce. the seafood sauce and cilantro mayo sauce were really unique. the seafood sauce was tasty! i tend to reach for brisket sauce with kbbq, but the brisket sauce here wasn't that flavorful so i ended up using the seafood sauce more. i barely used the cilantro mayo sauce, since i wasn't a big fan of the creamy mayo flavor with the meats. i wish they had some of the regular options for sauces, but it wasn't bad! i think zajang grill is one of the best ayce kbbq restaurants in the city, although it's more expensive than other options. if you want to splurge a little for the quality and variety of meats, i would definitely recommend checking out zajang grill. it's a great vibe for a group of friends to hang out! read more

Went to Zajang Grill for the first time today. Service was great! Ordered through the phone and will be at your table within a couple of mins. Unfortunately, none of the food stand out. The only thing I liked was the corn cheese. Spicy squid isn't even spicy. Just have some chilli flakes on it. And shrimp was just raw shrimp... it would have been better if it was marinated with something. We went around 5:30 pm on a Sunday night so it started out very slow but more people seem to come on and eventually it's a full house. Overall, it's just not my taste. For what I've paid, there weren't that many options. read more

Place was okay, nothing amazing. I CAN BELIEVE THEY RAN OUT of the PRAWNS when we got there. Use to love coming to carbon grill back in the day with the green sauce and although the owner said they bought the recipe, i just don't think it's the same. Typical kkbq joint. Little skeptical of the sides. Chicken karate was literally chicken nuggets. Super small enoki wrapped mushroom. Not a bad restaurant but one of those you have to try cuz you know Asian kids love trying new hot pot spots and if you really love it you'll be back but unfortunately, that's not the case for me. read more

We found this place on Yelp after I was viciously craving kbbq. I'm not from the area so we chose a place that had the highest reviews. I'm glad I did because I really enjoyed it. We came on a Saturday night around 6:00 and there wasn't a wait for a party of 7. Off to a good start. You order via a QR code and you control the rounds instead of waiting for a server to come back and check on you. The meat quality wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad. I'm just used to the quality in my area. The beef belly was good, pork belly was thick cut, and surprisingly the bbq pork was really good. The river prawns are one per person, which I totally understand. Boy was that gooood! Their seafood sauce is what made my dinner. It was sweet and spicy. I ate so much just because of the sauce! Every bite was just so amazing in my mouth. Staff was really nice. The only gripe I had was that they only have stools, which after awhile my bad back gave out. lol but that's a me problem. read more

Our favorite AYCE KBBQ spot in the city. The service is always fast and friendly here. Be sure to order some river prawns, but for regular items you can't go wrong with their marinated short ribs or spicy pork. It also normally doesn't get too crowded here, but the last time we came we had to wait a bit which means the word is starting to come out for Zajang. read more

My partner and I were looking for a Korean bbq spot that would blow us away! This restaurant almost came close. We came on a weekday around 5pm and it was not busy and we were seated right away. Our server Richard did a great job explaining how the restaurant works and delivering our food in a timely manner! My favorite was the beef bulgogi and corn cheese as it was very flavorful. I do like that the portions are reasonable as you are able to explore different options and avoid getting full off just one meat option. The only downside in my opinion is that for the price there is not much variety of side dishes or meats compared to other Korean bbq spots we have been in. Overall we had a lovely experience filled with a great ambience as well as cleanliness. read more

Zajang Grill - Beef bulgogi corn cheese and Thai tea - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

My new favorite ayce kbbq spot in the City! The vibes are immaculate, the meat quality is excellent, and the options are great. There's generally going to be a 20-30 minute wait if you come during dinner, but once you are seated, you QR scan the menu and order directly from your phone. They are the only place I know that offers river prawn (although only 1 per person), but it's delicious. They also offer several different marinated meats, all of which are pretty unique! So if you love marinated meats, then there's definitely something for you here. For the non-marinated meat lovers, there are several options of great cuts of meat. Pretty good quality for ayce and tender/fatty. I just love wrapping my meat in lettuce, garlic, jalapeño, and dipping that jawn in some corn cheese before stuffing it all in my mouth for one flavor bomb of a bite! I'm getting hungry as I write this review and am already planning my next outing back to Zajang Grill! read more

I'm writing this review as I'm still finishing my meal because that's how satisfied I was with this restaurant! Once seated their online ordering system was easy to use and service with bringing the items to your table was quick and the waiters would even change out our grills before we had to ask. The meats were tasty and great portions, so you could try many different things without getting too full. The cookies and cream ice cream at the end was the perfect way to end the meal. coming back again and honestly might be our new go-to kkbq place. read more

First off, the service is great!!!! Awesome guys and quick turnaround of items being delivered to our table. I would have liked to see more banchan options with the AYCE bbq. The fish cake was bland, not tasty at all. The kimchi was the only flavorful item to add to the bbq. No japchae... bummer!! I did like the marinated meats. But the pork cuts were not flavored and always takes long to cook. Loved how they served very cold water at the table. They change the grill plates and do provide a nice sweet ice cream at the end. Spacious for larger groups. The vibe is college life. read more

This is the only place I've ever gone to eat solo -- and actually kept coming back to! It's my little go-to spot whenever I need a pocket of peace and quiet, or just some cozy time with myself. The staff is always so kind, and the food? Delicious! The mix of meats and side dishes is just right -- and one of my favorite parts is that they actually serve sauces with their BBQ (a rare and happy find!). The servers even come around to top off your sauce dish, which honestly just wins me over every time. I also love their little booths -- they're so cute! If you can snag one by the window or on that side of the restaurant, it feels extra open and bright. But truly, every corner of this place feels warm and cozy. And if you somehow still have room after all the meats... you get a little ice cream for dessert! read more
