One of the most popular K-food restaurants in the Bay Area, and their food is always a 10/10!…read more I've come back here so many times because all of their soups are so comforting, especially the galbitang - my absolute favorite. It feels just like a warm hug in a bowl! Their cold noodles, both spicy and non-spicy versions, are refreshing and perfect for cooling down summer heat. We also almost always order the mo deum soo yook for extra protein. It's a combination plate with boiled beef brisket, tail, and tendons. You will have to season them yourself with salt and pepper, but beef is always so soft and tender. I highly recommend ordering this only if you're dining with a group of 3 or more because the portion is huge! After finishing your meal, they'll serve you a yakult, super yummy and great for digestion (super thoughtful of them) They're busy and almost always have a waitlist, especially during peak dinner hours. From my experience, the longest I've waited was about 45 minutes, but normally it's only around 20-30 minutes. There's a boba shop nearby where you can grab a drink while waiting. Overall, I have nothing to complain about with this place. Try it once and you'll understand why everyone loves it!

Came here on a Saturday around noon and thankfully we were early enough to avoid a wait. they don't allow outside drinks, which is a bummer because it was so hot and our drinks would go bad if left in the car. I got the galbi tang and they gave a good amount of beef! I was able to take home for a second meal :) i also love their kimchi. maybe around 10 minutes after we got our soup, we had asked for refills on the sides. when we got the refills, we also got our bill. we were no where close to being done eating and the servers would constantly check our table to see if we're done or needed boxes. while we were boxing our leftovers, the server aggressively took our soups (half way in the air trying to pour it) from us and packed it herself. my friend was trying to get the bone out first but the server was just awfully impatient. The whole dine-in experience felt very uncomfortable, especially since we were still actively eating.

Even without a reservation, we were warmly greeted and quickly added to the waitlist. For a Thursday evening, the restaurant was pleasantly busy and buzzing with energy which is exactly the kind of lively atmosphere we love. There's plenty of parking, and the space itself is spotless, beautifully decorated, and clearly well cared for. The staff were all so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The star of the show was definitely the meat. After trying nearly every Korean BBQ spot in Santa Clara, I can confidently say Chungdam has the best quality in the area. The difference in flavor and texture of the beef is immediately noticeable. It was tender, well-marbled, and full of rich taste. The banchan were outstanding too, especially the raw crab (my absolute favorite). We also loved the steamed egg, japchae, and bibimbap which were all delicious and perfectly executed. Our server, Bryan, took excellent care of us on our first visit and made the whole experience even better. He even told us about a back room that you can reserve for special occasions or even for hosting after work gatherings or dinners with friends We'll definitely be back soon! This was an absolute 10/10!!

I've been coming to this place for over a year, and the quality has been consistently amazing. I've…read moretried a lot of Korean BBQ restaurants, but this is by far my favorite. The meat is always fresh and high quality, and the atmosphere, vibe, and ambiance make every visit enjoyable. Every time I come here, Judy is there to welcome us with a smile. She always makes us feel at home, especially after a long day at work. Judy is the best! She goes above and beyond to make sure every visit is enjoyable and always checks on our table to make sure everything is perfect. The entire staff is friendly, the service is excellent, and the food never disappoints. Out of all the Korean BBQ spots in the area, this is the one I recommend the most. They even have an awesome happy hour with $1 pints, and the staff cooks the meat for you, so all you have to do is relax, eat, and enjoy. If you're looking for great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the place to go! SEORAI numbah 1

Service was good. food was delicious! the bulgogi was generous portions given the $$. The kal bi was delicious. We got the lettuce wrap (aka leaves) glad we got it because it made it feel healthier. banchan: came with: square little rice paper wraps (not as healthy as lettuce but something), kim chee, sprouts, marinated onions with peppers (spicy! but I'm a wimp, any spice is too much for me), jap chae I didn't like the self-order on tablet. (at least it wasn't order off phone, I really hate that) at other restaurants if you order enough, they "service you" free steamed egg. Here I had to buy it myself. negative, there was a dripping pipe on the floor, and we had to point it out for them to wipe it, but then it dripped more. was that water? or grease? who knows. we had to suggest they put a towel so I didn't have to stare at it creeping towards me all night. fun korean pop music in background. cheaper feeling ambiance. definitely coming again for the food and minimal line. didn't like that tip defaulted to 20% minimum (then 23%, 28%) but at least they calculate that pre-tax.

Second time we ordered the steamed seafood basked in spicy soy. Shared a seafood noodle dish. It was a huge portion. It gets so busy there that they are well organized, gets you in and out. After entering the restaurant, the right side of you is more like a booth type of seating. How much I adore their decor. First impressions when you walk into an establishment says a lot about the owners. As customers it feels inviting and cozy.

Two separate single-user men and women's restrooms. They take the space where Moo Bong Ri and later The Bapsang used to be. The parking is ok but could be challenging. The service was super friendly and attentive. A variety of different banchan. Beef Tartare (5/5) - served with a raw egg, julienned cucumbers and Korean pear. The portion size was huge. You could taste the light sesame oil and it was very tender. Pork Backbone Stew (4/5) - lightly spicy, and flavorful. You could really taste the hint of sesame oil and perilla leaves. This was my first time trying this stew. Grilled Beef Short Ribs (4/5) - grilled to perfection and seasoned well. Seafood Pancake (5/5) - served with a soy chili dipping sauce. The pancake was crispy, crunchy, and filled with seafood. It was really good. I'd come back. Support your local business.

We ended up going with the small beef combo - brisket, short rib, marinated short rib. Also ordered the kimchi pancake, crispy. The surprise highlight was the kimchi pancake, it was delicious!

We've been to the Baekjeong in LA and I felt like the one in LA was better. Service feels very robotic here. Baekjeong is not AYCE KBBQ, so it should be an experience. It just feels like you're constantly flagging your server down. Asking for more banchan, your next meat to be grilled, etc. It's a big restaurant, so they should staff better, so they can properly attend their tables--especially since the customers don't do the cooking. They were also out of rice paper which was really lame. 3 felt too low, but they have a lot to work on for a 5. Food is fantastic. No arguments there.

It's quite large with many tables and chairs inside, and it's nice and brightly lit. Service was quick and efficient, and they moved us to a larger table after hearing how much we were ordering We definitely overordered and got a seafood pancake to start, the smaller size of bossam, a kimchi tofu soup, and a beef bibimbap. The bossam took a while to come out, and by then we were already pretty full off of the pancake, soup and bibimbap. Service sizes are generous, and this definitely would've been enough for 4+ people to share. There was a great assortment of different banchan - my favorite is the jelly! The pancake was nice and crispy, with a good amount of seafood, the bibimbap had a great amount of crispy rice at the bottom and the tofu soup was comforting and exactly what we were looking for. The bossam had a lot of meat - I kind of wished there was more radish and napa to go with the meat, but it was tender, not too fatty, and satisfying. We had plenty of leftovers to take home. Jang su jang is still a classic staple, and has a delicious offering for almost any korean craving you could want. It's a little pricey, but comparable to other options in the area with consistent quality that makes it worth it in my opinion.

I also really like the jjampong, the broth is very flavorful! Otherwise I love that they play EDM you can listen to illenium or dabin while enjoying your noodles.
