    fried chicken garlic flavor
    Jeff H.

    Another great meal at JJamPPong. Their Korean Fried Chicken ("KFC") is the best in the area. The wonton soup pairs well with the KFC as it lightens the calories count. The garlic string beans dish has a nice snap to it. Their dishes has a home cook vibe to it. Good job chefs at JJamPPong. It is a treat to eat at Korean family owned restaurant.

    Mongolian Beef

    Hands down one of the best in the city, this place is truly a gem. They do get pretty busy, but that just speaks to their quality, taste, and generous portions. Add in great service and friendly owners, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the food they serve. It never misses, always consistently good. We've been coming here for a couple of years now, and whenever this is the lunch or dinner option, it's always a quick yes. We've tried quite a few dishes here: the honey walnut prawns, salt and pepper pork loin, salt and pepper prawns (so good), shrimp fried rice, and their regular chow mein with beef or shrimp, honestly all 10/10. But our definite go-to is the Hong Kong-style chow mein and the Mongolian beef. The portions are generous and usually feed us with some leftovers, which is always a plus. Pricing is fair for the quality and portion sizes. The place is clean. The only downside is parking, it's street parking only, so it can be a little tough to find a spot sometimes.

    Delicious I was surprised at the food at this unassuming hole in the wall. There were plenty of seats when we came in on a Sunday night. Their menu seemed to have the classics + a few other Chinese dishes, but we didn't bother with those. We ordered and the food came out fast. *The Tangsuyuk came out first. Lots of crispy tender pork but the sauce was really special. Not too sweet with just the right amount of thickness. *The namesake jjamppong was hot and very spicy, but in a pleasant way. It could have used a little more seafood but the flavor was very on point. *Can't forget about the jajangmyeon. We tried both the beef and the seafood + beef. Both were excellent. The sauce is thick and rich and grappled onto the noodles. The service? attentive. Prices? great. Will def be coming back

    Happend to be near this part of town and it was dinner time. Parking can be difficult in this area, bring your patience. This restuarant was tasty and service was fantastic. I don't usually have high standards for service at traditional Asian restaurants, but this one was genuine/friendly, quick, and efficient. I was impressed with the green beans in garlic sauce. The green beans had a nice crunch and weren't greasy. I truly tasted the garlic flavor, but it didn't overpower the dish. The clams tasted fresh and the chives/sauce paired nicely. Their famous jajang mein noodles had a nice chew, not soggy. They had enough sauce with bits of various ingredients that all went well together. Prices are standard compared with other similar restaurants. The ambiance was cozy and clean. There were a few tables available for large parties of 8-10, but probably best to come in small groups. Will definitely dine here again in the future. #31/2025

    Jajang Mein
    Darci K.

    Go out of your way to dine at JJamPPong. Seriously, no matter where you are in San Francisco, this is a place that is worth checking out! Located in the mission district area, this is authenticity at its best. It's a lovely mix of Korean and Chinese delightful and delicious dishes. We've been here several times because it's that good. The dining room is small, but it's clean and the staff is very welcoming. Outside of outstanding food, here's what I absolutely love. The way they package to go orders. Yes, you read that correctly, the way they packaged to go orders. This alone outside of as I mentioned the delicious food, is a reason to dine here. The to go orders are vacuumed sealed, ensuring freshness, warmth, and the ability to reheat if need be the items. I absolutely plan on going back, again! Because there are so many dishes that are on the must try list. The double fried garlic chicken wings are so tasty! I wish they had a little bit more of the garlic sauce, and plan on requesting that for my next visit. The wings are super generous size. Not those small flimsy wings that you might find elsewhere. Perfectly crispy and perfectly moist meat. Just so delicious! My new favorite and go to is the JaJang Mein. It absolutely takes me back to Korea. This is comfort food at its finest, and I'm telling you this is the place to have it! The black bean sauce with bits of pork, and veggies, and the noodles, it makes my mouth water just at the thought of how good this incredible dishes. Don't let the coloring of the sauce dissuade you. I'm telling you it's fabulous! Parking is impossible because, San Francisco. Make the effort. Make the push. Go and try all the food. Seriously you can't go wrong. And again, if you don't wanna dine in, the way they package everything to go makes it even more tempting. You can even call in your order!

    I've been craving JjamPpong and I finally had the chance to visit again after more than a year. This place is still SO good, with big portions that are reasonably priced. I usually order the spicy marinated crab but came for lunch this time, and ordered seafood jjamppong, chicken wings, and garlic green beans. It seems that they have hired more people to help out with the restaurant, and I was grateful when the server would come by to help us refill our tea and water. Looking forward to coming back again in the near future!

    Combination fried rice
    Steve D.

    Everything came out hot and flavorful. The compao shrimp was packed with veggies and had the perfect kick. The tofu dish was rich and soft, and the fried rice was cooked just right -- not oily, full of eggs and veggies. The wonton soup was super comforting. Also first time trying the Raw marinated crab and it was very good also the service was amazing. Portions are generous, the food tastes fresh, and it's a solid place to come with family or friends. Cozy, casual vibe -- definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Sweet & Sour Pork/Tangsuyuk Pork
    Jason X.

    What a fun hidden gem in the Mission! I never had raw crab before and totally did not expect something so soft, creamy, and tasty. The spice did kick my butt though so we got some extra rice and lots of water. The jajang mein was solid, not amazing. The sweet and sour pork was good and fried really nicely (not too greasy) - it felt like I was eating protein fries. Great service.

    June R.

    Hands down our favorite family GO-TO for Korean-Chinese food!!! The spicy seasoned crab NEVER disappoints-today it was next-level spicy and we loved every bite . The garlic green beans are a must-order, and the crispy garlic beef brings the perfect amount of heat and crunch. We also tried the crispy jalapeño tofu today and WOW pillowy soft tofu wrapped in the lightest, crispiest coating. Absolutely addictive. Beef Chow Fun and their JJajangmyun is always a non-negotiable for us, so good, every single time. The food is always consistent, high quality, and full of flavor. June and Morgan are the BEST, warm, welcoming, and truly make you feel like family. And the gummy bears with the bill at the end? The perfect sweet touch This place never misses. We keep coming back for a reason!!

    This place had pretty decent jjajangmyeon!! I like that they open until 10pm for a late ish dinner. The service was fast and we got our food pretty quickly. We also got their spicy raw marinated crab. It was delicious and flavorful but a bit too spicy to fully enjoy it.

    Jjamppong
    Miranda L.

    Went over at around 6:45 pm on a Monday and we got a table for 2 immediately. The restaurant is pretty small but the seating isn't too tight and it is a quiet place to get dinner. They have a variety of Korean and Chinese dishes which are unique and also some specialties like the Jjamppong and Spicy Raw Crab. Jjamppong - I had been wanting to try this dish and it was packed with flavor. The spice and tangy flavors came through very strongly, loaded up abundantly with the noodles and mix of seafoods which were all cooked well. Tangsuyuk - I typically really enjoy the Cantonese style of sweet and sour pork and this one was a cool variation of that. It was sweet, sour and a refreshing break from eating the more intense jjamppong. It was different with the pork being fried and the crunchy vegetables. From the generous portion sizes to the flavors, I would definitely come back and try some of their other dishes.

    Crispy Garlic Beef
    Jillian P.

    This spot is a hidden gem! You don't usually find many filling and affordable Chinese-Korean places in the city, but this restaurant is one of them. The ambiance is nothing particularly special, but the food is comforting and delicious. Our go-tos are always the jajang mein, tangsuyuk, and crispy garlic beef. Plenty of other good dishes here too, but I highly highly recommend the jajang mein. I've come here often with my family for Sunday lunch and we never have an issue getting a table. Service is fast and the waiters are so nice, always refilling our picked radish. Bonus: they give gummy bears with the bill. Lowkey wanted to gatekeep this place but it deserves so much love !

I did find a place where no meat would be available in SF . Once I started thinking of this place I started to map out hella meal possibilities with me creating dishes like San Francisco's native dish Cioppino and also making some salmon dishes along with some okay shrimp dishes like fried shrimp, skewer shrimps on the barbie, and scallop ceviche. The real feast on Good Friday would be getting the Dungeness Crab paired with some garlic noodles . This place has been a Mission District seafood institution and it's called Sun Fat Seafood company ( a former employee started Basa Seafood Express on 24th street). On a Spring stroll on Mission street between 22nd and 23rd streets I went inside a fresh seafood market. Inside you will see live lobsters in a tank. You will also see Dungeness Crab during crab season and also find of variety of fresh oysters selection along with scallops. You will also see sushi rolls when available along with different types of fishes. This place was the solution I was looking for to replace meat cravings and replace with seafood during Good Friday feast. This is definitely the place if you like it crustaceans and fish cooked or raw in SF. Inside Sun Fat Seafood you find some raw fish "fillet" to make your meal for " Good Friday" as some will "pray" and enjoy the fresh catch of seafood in San Francisco city by the "Bay" It's almost Good Friday so I feel "bless "I am alive and remembering those who passed away in peace may they "rest" I walk the streets of the Mission I "reminisce" and honor them on Good Friday feast as I eat some crab that's "Dungeness"

We were seated by the front of house pretty quickly. The space could hold quite a few people, there is a bar area and outside seating. We sat in the back by the kitchen. When we got there, we ordered a couple drinks and a lot of food. I had the okey-dokey artichokey and my partner had the respect your elders drink; both were strong and tasty. It went well with our appetizers of fried okra and fried calamari. I really enjoyed the jalapeño aïoli that came with the okra so much that I started dipping the calamari in it. The calamari coating on the outside was a lot heavier than what I was used to, but it was still really tasty. For our main entrées, I got the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens and my partner got the porch burger with fries. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly. It wasn't dry. It was juicy and I really liked putting their homemade hot sauce on the chicken and greens. The habanero hot sauce was really spicy, but I liked how sweet it was. My partner's burger was cooked perfectly and it was a big portion. I definitely recommend this place to someone who is bold enough to go on a date and still eat with their hands. Somehow, this was elevated southern food, which could be shown by the prices, but I think it's worth it once in a while.
