We had the budae jjigae and mul naengmyeon. The stew had lots of fermented kimchi flavor. If you like that, this is great. My preference is basically a shin ramyun which has a thicker broth. I loved how this had tteok, sausage, and spam. It's also wonderful that it comes out still boiling inside the stone pot. I love their fresh, sweet kimchi banchan. The place is nice and clean and the service is friendly. It's nice that they also have private rooms available. I liked it enough but if someone asked me a Korean place to eat, this isn't one that would come to the forefront of my mind. It's good but not mind blowing. read more

Jang Su Jang is a solid Korean BBQ restaurant in Milpitas. While none of the dishes had any "wow" factor, the food was above average and the prices were reasonable. The decor is a little dated. Service was efficient and met expectations. We ordered Wang Mandoo, LA Galbi, and a Cold Noodle Combo. The Wang Mandoo were described as king size boiled dumplings with beef, pork, and kimchi, and the sizes did not disappoint -- indeed very huge, even larger than the mandoo I've had in Korea. The meat was tender and overall very tasty. The LA Galbi came out as large slices of BBQ short ribs and were tender, juicy, and flavorful. The cold noodle combo came with cold noodles in broth plus bulgogi. You can pick other protein but that's what we chose. The cold noodles were refreshing and the noodles were chewy and bouncy. The portions were fairly large. The bulgogi was probably the most disappointing of all the dishes we had. It was tender beef but lacked some bbq flavor. I appreciated the wide variety of Banchans that were brought out to our table. They also gladly refilled the banchans as needed. read more

Fast and Delicious!! We had the following and they were all very yummy!! Great flavors and cooked to perfection - Seafood Pancake - Dumpling Tofu Soup (spicy) - this was not spicy enough for me ... but still yummy - Daeji Bulgogi spicy marinated sliced pork) - also was not as spicy as we'd like ... but still yummy - La Galbi (B.B.Q. beef short ribs) ... these were really flavorful!! - Galbitang (beef rib soup) ... amazing broth and the beef just fell off the bone (perfect for a hangover...lol) Pretty big place... and they have private rooms. Parking is plentiful, but there are lots of signs about car theft.. so be careful. Staff were very attentive in replenishing the banchan. Overall great time! Would I go back? Absolutely!! read more

Came for friday night dinner and had no wait for a table. The service was quick and friendly. The Bandhan was delicious and plentiful. We got the kalbi and spicy pork and both were really good! They supply tongs and scissors for the kalbi and it was super helpful. The portions were pretty good, we were stuffed. But boy was it pricey. read more

Decided to try a new place for dinner. The restaurant is in an area that felt deserted but looking around there were a few other businesses there like Paris Baguette. The restaurant itself was bright and airy. The wait personnel were friendly. We ordered the kimchee and beef soup, spicy pork bulgogi and chicken teriyaki. We thought the portion sizes were quite large and didn't feel like it was too expensive compared to other Korean restaurants. Came with a variety of Bonchon items- boiled potatoes, kimchee, marinated cucumbers, bean sprouts, roasted seaweed. The bonchon were good. The chicken teriyaki was ok. It was like fried chicken with Teriyaki sauce on it. The soup was ok as well a little lighter than a jige. Spicy pork was good. Overall all the dishes lack that extra umami to make you want to keep eating and came back to try other dishes. read more

I was craving some bossam and my mom was craving bibimbap and tofu stew, so we came to Jang Su Jang on a Friday around 1pm - it was pretty empty, with only one other party inside the entire time we were 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. read more

Jang Su Jang is one of the Bay Area's few Korean restaurants that still practices classical, technique-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. read more

First time there, we didn't know if we entered and sat down ourselves or if a host seated us so it took a few minutes to get a table (i'd say less 5 mins for a 3 person top). The servers were nice and kind to us. There's private rooms inside too for bigger parties. We got the japchae, beef stew, and LA Galbi (not pictured). The japchae was pretty average, but I did enjoy the amount of veggies and meat! 8/10 My favorite was the LA Galbi. It was marinated soooo well and deliciously. Well priced in comparison to many other korean places ! 10/10 Maybe im too spoiled with BCD tofu house but the soup was not that great. i got mild spice (my usual at places) and it overall tasted pretty bland to me. It wasnt the best but it wasnt the worst either. Not spicy, not greatly flavored but still seasoned enough. Once was enough for me, I wouldnt get it again. 7/10 The vibes were nice despite the plaza looking as run down as it is. They have a sign in the front saying to grab any items of value from ur car due to high rate of car break-ins. Overall my experience w this location was 7/10. I would rec the galbi to anyone and need to try their hot pot menu! read more

I was looking forward to eating here BUT, I must agree with other reviews, this was overly priced for the amount of meat that was served. I wasn't aware that there are 2 experiences to choose from. I had to ask the waitress if I could sit at the table w/the grill. As opposed to being sat down at a regular small table in the middle of the restaurant. Unfortunately, I will not be returning and will keep searching for that special Korean BBQ. read more

Jang Su Jang - Sides - Korean Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Hoping to show of a little of my hometown to my partner, we stopped by Jang Su Jang, a Santa Clara institution. This place has been around for ages and rightfully so. We ordered the bossam single serving and the rose tteokbokki. All of the food we had was so delicious. From the amazing variety of banchan to the creaminess of the rose tteokbokki sauce, everything was hitting the spot. It was way too much food though so we took a bit home, and though the service can be a little short, the food speaks for itself. read more

If we want to have fancy Korean food then we will come to Jang Su Jang. Besides regular tables, they have a lot of BBQ tables so you can see your food (ribs, beef, etc) being cooked in front of you by the waitresses. The waitresses used to wear their traditional puffy dress years ago but no more. The food is still good but they delay delivering the banchans until food is ready. So we were hungry waiting and when food is finally ready they deliver everything together so we had too much to eat. I think this is something to improve. I hope this restaurant can go back to their prior standard again. read more

The food is good. Service is subpar unfortunately. They don't seem to want to be there.

Honestly, I was very disappointed with the food here. The seasoning was off, I can honestly make better Korean food at home. We ordered the seafood and beef tofu soup, but the shrimp was tiny and didn't taste fresh at all. The bulgogi was also very dry, tough, and lacked flavor. Spending $80 on just two dishes felt like a total rip-off for this quality. I won't be coming back. read more

Jang Su Jang's food was amazing, with so many side dishes and very authentic-tasting Korean flavors. As a Korean myself, I really enjoyed my entrée -- I ordered the bulgogi, and my friends got the bibimbap and soondubu, all of which were delicious and well prepared. The only concern I have is the price; it's quite expensive for what you get. That said, the quality and authenticity of the food are definitely there. read more

4 stars. Very good traditional Korean food. The banchan is also very tasty here. I ordered the dolsot bimbimbap and my coworker ordered the mandu jigae.

Amazing banchan selection. All the dishes were very well made and portion sizes were quite good. We loved the seafood pancake, as the exterior was very crispy and the interior soft and packed with seafood. The LA Galbi was a good choice too. It was well seasoned but I think a little bit more charring would've made it even tastier. The seafood and beef soon tofu was top tier - very delicious indeed. The mandu in the mandu soup was huge. Overall a very good experience! read more

I usually don't leave reviews, but this experience was beyond disappointing. I normally go to the Milpitas 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. read more

The restaurant is located in a quiet shopping mall, a lot of shops are closed, so you will get plenty of parking spots. There, we ordered BBQ- Seng Galbi $75 and Chadol Baki $50, also steamed egg, there will be a service lady cooking it on the table for you, which is nice. There is a lot of smoke, and the lady doesn't talk to us though, in this case, I actually prefer BBQ by ourselves.It tastes good, but for the price you pay, the meat portion is not sufficient, to be honest. But the steamed eggs are highly recommended! read more

Haven't been here in a while, but I've always enjoyed their bossam jungsik and seafood pancake. The parking lot is huge with many spaces (also because other stores around it closed down so it's pretty empty). The banchan variety is decent, but they were slow to bring they out. Their tofu soup is average good. I feel like the service is kind of bad now. The waitresses weren't that friendly and one of them was kind of rude for no reason when we were asking for the to-go boxes(??). I don't think I would be coming back to this location. read more

Boy, ordering a $23 bibimnyunmyun, they brought out 9 panchans. They were all great! My meal was quick and service was good. Overall with tip it was under $30. Not bad! I couldn't finish all the noodles but finished all the panchan! Yum! They gave me a To go bowl for my left overs. I really enjoyed this nutritious meal. read more

What's going on with this shopping center? It's like dead. All boarded up except for this restaurant and possibly another one a thousand feet a way. Creepy. This is part of a chain of a high-end Korean restaurant. They do both Korean BBQ and normal dishes. We came for a lunch, not doing BBQ. Must say it was mediocre. Nothing to complain and nothing that was impressive. Particularly disappointed at the famed seafood pancake. Really mediocre in texture, ingredients, and the final delivery. Seafood Soon Tofu was quite enjoyable. LA Galbi was very good. Bibimbop was a looker, but not that great. read more

One of my friend's favorite Korean restaurants in the area and I was so excited to try it. They had a variety of traditional dishes from tofu soups to noodles to bbq meats. They had some bbq tables in the restaurant as well but we decided to order some dishes to try. Soon after we ordered, they brought out probably one of the largest arrays of banchans I have ever gotten at a restaurant. The kimchi, potato and fish tofu were my favorites. Mushroom Soon Tofu - The soup was comforting, warm and mildly spicy. I think we wanted a little more punchiness in the dish but all ingredients from the tofu and mix of mushrooms were soft and cooked well inside. Bossam Jungsik - I had been craving good bossam and this one hit the spot. The pieces were perfectly soft and had a nice bite to them. The combination of radish kimchi with the pickled radish and the lettuce was so good, making the best wrap of sweet, sour, spicy and freshness. We only ordered one serving size and it was so filling already. The staff were very efficient and attentive, helping us pack our food at the end of our meal. Everything was so fresh from the banchans to our mains and my friend recommends trying the cold noodles or dumpling soup so I will be coming back to try more. read more

Michelin-recommended, and for good reason, Jang Su Jang will fill your soul with delicious food. Jang Su Jang is in a strip mall so quiet that at first, I wondered if I was at the right place when I got there for lunch. But as soon as I walked through the doors, I knew I had found it; the restaurant bustled with activity, and servers moved deftly among the tables with steaming bowls of stew and sizzling plates of meats. The place looked inviting, and I was eager to have lunch. It wasn't long before we were seated, and the servers quickly set glasses of water before us. The menu had a variety of entrées, and I took my time to look through the soups, noodles, barbecues, and meats before deciding on a beef bibimbap. So much of a good food experience is presentation, and this was no different with my bowl of bibimbap. Upside-down fried egg over a mountain of lettuce and white rice, meats on the right, vegetables on the left, and a garnish of sesame seeds on top. Everything had been placed with flair. The food itself tasted good too. The marinated beef was tender and flavorful, and as I made my way around the bowl from the beef to the vegetables, I realized that the vegetables complemented one another. Umami shiitake and bean sprouts, crunchy daikon and tender carrots, crispy seaweed and sauteed spinach. The fried egg on top was runny and just so. The fluffy rice tied everything together, and it all made for one very filling lunch! I had a delightful bowl of bibimbap at Jang Su Jang, and I'm definitely returning for more next time. read more

We have been to this location for many years for special occasions, but a lot of changes have happened since the last time we were here. Food took a long time to arrive. No waiter bothered to ask if you needed water refill when your cups were completely empty. Sea food pancake was filled with chunks of octopus so hard that not an adult nor kid can chew them. We had not finished the meal when they quickly dropped the bill on the table without being asked. Waiters quickly came to pick up the tips without clearing up the table even though we had not seen them throughout the whole meal. Ambiance was noisy and food was not as tasty as it used to be. Count us out at the next special occasions. With the high prices they charged for everything on the menu, we should expect a better service and better food than this. read more

If you want top quality KBBQ, Jang Su Jang is your spot to go! On the more expensive side, but you get the better quality meat and the nice Korean aunties cooking your meat for you. The seafood pancake here is a must, and with the orders of meat you also get a steamed egg and small soybean soup. Ask for the lettuce wraps and you can feel a bit healthier eating all the meat! The banchan is also always on point - always fresh side dishes and every time you come there is a variety, depending on the day. Overall, A+ spot for KBBQ!! read more

The bibimbab was delicious but the soup with medium spicy was bland for us. The bancan were delicious. The staff were efficient and nice.

I used to enjoy going to Jang Su Jang on El Camino Real. It was one of the first few Korean restaurants in the area with a good sized space and an inviting atmosphere. In the beginning, the food was excellent, but over the years, it has become just okay. The side dishes are decent, though nothing particularly special. That said, I still really like their yookgaejang and mandooguk, and I wouldn't mind going there with a group. However, with more Korean restaurants opening along El Camino Real, I now have more options to choose from which is definitely a good thing! read more

I loved the food!!!!!!!!! We came before the restaurant started to get busy so around 6 is perfect!

Pros: The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how similar the inside was to restaurants in Gangnam. The servers were very nice and attentive and the whole experience reminded me a lot of restaurants in Korea. The food was pretty authentic, filling, and delicious. The banchan is among the best I've had in America and has a huge variety. Cons: I had to dock a star for the price. For three people it came out to ~$50 a person and we did not get BBQ. I want to keep coming back but the price point prevents me from doing so as often as I would like. Overall, the food and experience were amazing and reminded me how much I miss Korea. Will definitely come back! read more
