This is my new favorite Korean restaurant in SF! We ordered the double fried chicken with garlic sauce, the spicy raw crab, jjamppong, and deep fried green beans. Everything was so delicious and had huge portion sizes! This was definitely enough food for at least 4 people (we only had 2 haha). The famed spicy raw crab exceeded its expectations! It was the first time I tried Korean raw crab, so the soft creamy texture of the raw crab was unexpected but so yummy. It was sweet and really spicy which I loved. Paired with white rice, seaweed, and the kimchi and pickled yellow radish, it was a delightful dish to share. The double fried chicken and jjamppong were also so hearty and delicious. The deep fried green beans were probably unnecessarily coated in batter before frying, but the flavor was sweet and garlicky. I would want to try the jjajangmyeon next time because that's one of my favorite dishes and the noodle texture from the jjamppong was so bouncy! Overall, the restaurant vibes were super homey and the owners were so sweet and apologetic for the wait. I'd definitely come here whenever I want comforting food on a rainy (or sunny) day! read more

We escaped the city on the way to SFO to find some good spicy noodles! Ended up here. We were not disappointed. Service, food and staff were all spectacular. I love joints like this where they are able to explain to us the menu and what they are known for. We got the fried dumplings and seafood jjamppong. IF you like SPICE.. please try their spicy! Dumplings were crunchy and delicious, the flavor was part. All dishes come with a side of their home made cabbage kimchi and yellow daikon. They are known for the spicy raw marinated crab, so next visit I will have to try it! read more

Location: Located in outer Mission, parking can be quite difficult to find. I had to look for about 20 minutes on a Sunday at around 4PM. After trying this place, I definitely worth the time finding parking though. Ambiance: Casual interior, very nice spot to catch up with friends. It started getting busy pretty early but the noise level was not bad at all. Food: This place does Korean Chinese cuisine justice! We ordered the double fried chicken wings, jjamppong, jajangmyeon, and of course the raw marinated crab. For four people, this was plenty of food. The chicken wings were very juicy, and the jajangmyeon and jjamppong were both delicious as well. It was my first time trying raw marinated crab: they gave us rice, seaweed, and plastic gloves along with the crab. The crab was slightly spicy, and the flavor and texture of the slightly translucent meat was fantastic. It was sweet and refreshing, and there was no fishy taste which I was apprehensive of. I'm already looking forward to the next time I can come back for this dish. Service: The service at this place was some of the best that I've had in the Bay Area. They were super attentive and kind, and it really seemed like they were looking out for our table to make sure we had what we needed to have a great and comfortable meal. read more

A small Korean place tucked away in the Mission. Parking can be a little rough, so it is always a special treat to come here. Service is always wonderful here, and the tables are always kept clean. They even pack your food for you, and give you a little bag of haribo gummies with your bill. I have ordered the tangsuyuk, jjamppong, jajangmyeon, but I keep coming back here for the crab! Everything I have mentioned about is pretty good, but the spicy raw crab dish is hard to find in my area. They service it with seaweed, rice, and gloves that are very needed. It is the perfect amount of spice, and the portion is very fair. I have never had any issue with the crab being fishy or not fresh. For $31, the dish is not cheap, but I think it is worth it considering how special and yummy it is! read more

JJamPPong - Spicy Raw Crab - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

My third time eating here yesterday and I'm finally writing a review! Love this hole in the wall Korean-Chinese spot. I came here with 3 of my friends and everyone loved the food here. We ordered fried chicken, spicy crab, seafood jjamppong and eggplant. Note: this place does not play around with spice! When they mean spicy they mean SPICY. I have a pretty high spice tolerance and my mouth was on fire during dinner. Our crew devoured the eggplant dish! I think that was the fave then second I would guess is the fried chicken since that's also all gone. We also love the crab but like the name suggests, it is spicy! Overall for the 4 dishes it came out to 100 something, so very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get as well. Tip: I would eat the fried chicken first when it comes out because once it becomes soggy it's not as good. read more

JJamPPong - Spicy Raw Crab - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Closed Tuesdays JjamPpong got popular from their spicy raw crab dish but they have all the other Korean-Chinese dishes like jajangmyun (black bean noodles), jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and double fried chicken wings. The noodles usually are supposed to be hand pulled but doesn't seem like they are here. The black bean noodles were good, the sauce wasn't overly sweet or salty. The shrimp fried rice was satisfying and hearty. The double fried chicken wings could use more sauce but weren't bad. By no means are they comparable to San Tung. Decent portion size. 1 restroom and 1 TV Extra star for giving a mini bag of Haribo gummy bears. You don't get that at any other Asian restaurants. Parking is tough in the area. read more

I came here when they were on their lunch break and even though the restaurant officially opens at 4pm, the staff kindly allowed us to enter early and made us feel very welcome while we waited. I ordered the fried chicken (4/5), the sauce was so delicious!! It wasn't too thick or too runny. Definitely reminded me of San Tung, while San Tung's chicken is more crispy and the sauce is thicker, this one is just as good. I also ordered the Jjamppong (4/5). Since my time in Korea, I've been longing for the taste of authentic jjamppong, and this restaurant came closest to capturing that flavor in the Bay Area. While it wasn't an exact match, it was still really good. The broth was rich and satisfying, and the noodles were cooked just right. It definitely surpassed my previous experiences with bland versions of jjamppong. read more

oh man this was a treat. JJamppong is a not-so-hidden gem in SF most famous for their spicy raw crab and fried chicken. Of course, we had to order both. when we walked in, servers greeted us not even a minute after we were shown our table. we knew what we wanted and placed our order. moments later, the servers brought out the crab alongside rice and some hot tea. about 5 minutes after the chicken was set in front of us piping hot. a box of seaweed was also given to wrap the spicy marinated crab. the meal itself was insane. this was my first time having crab and it did not disappoint at all. beware, the crab is a bit spicy so if you're not super into spice, take this as a warning. the fried chicken was (to me) perfect, crispy and hot and flavorful and everything i want my fried chicken to be. i was very happy with the food and the service and could totally see myself going back if i'm ever n in sf and want a bite to eat. be prepared to spend graciously for this meal but also be prepared to take home leftovers because we had a few pieces of chicken to eat at home later that night. WILL BE BACK! read more

I saw this pop up on my instagram feed and I always in search of jajangmyeon and/or jjamppong. After seeing the photos, I had to try it. Parking is limited to the street; it may take a couple of circles around the block or a few blocks away, but it is worth the walk! We walked in for lunch, it wasn't too busy and a few tables were occupied. The menu was a mix of Korean and Chinese dishes. We ordered the jjamppong and tangsuyuk to share. Both the dishes were delicious and was plenty for 2. The jjamppong (this one does not come with crab) was served with udon noodles and plenty of seafood & meat--it was filling. Unfortunately, I didn't think the jjamppong was spicy at all and from what I recall it should be spicy. The tangsuyuk was nicely deep fried, grease free and the sauce was the perfect combo of sour and sweet. The dish was served with assorted stir fried veggies. This is a wonderful family run business and definitely worth checking out. The portions are generous and the dishes were tasty. Just note that the menu leans more Chinese than Korean. Nonetheless, definitely worth trying. I would come back for the marinated crab and the jajangmyeon. read more

My friends and I (group of 4) came here on a saturday night and it wasn't as busy as expected (thankfully). We were seated promptly and for the most part, we knew what we wanted to order because of TiKTok haha We ordered the famous raw marinated crab, chicken wings, and jjamppong. Unfortunately, the jjamppong I had here didn't quite live up to my expectations. It had a decent amount of broth, but there wasn't the nice initial spicy kick to it and a little sparse on the seafood. On the other hand, the spicy raw marinated crab and chicken wings were an absolute treat! We were provided gloves to squeeze out the crab meat and pair it with rice on seaweed, AMAZING! My taste buds were doing a little dancey dance and always wanted more. The chicken wings were perfectly crispy and the perfect appetizer for us! Would I come here again? Absolutely. I am going to be back for the spicy raw crab, but I will not be sitting down to eat unless I can find a parking spot. It took over 30 minutes to find a parking spot in the residential area. I think I'd have a better time getting takeout and enjoying it at home. So I would definitely allocate time for parking if you're looking to dine in! read more

JJamPPong - Spicy Raw Crab - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

We were in the area so we stopped by to eat dinner and ordered the seafood jjamppong and seafood jajang mein. Portions were not bad but the noodles were a bit undercooked for both dishes. But some people may prefer the chewiness and the undercooked noodles. The seafood jjamppong could have used more spice as it just tasted kind of watery and not spicy. Seafood Jajang mein was pretty tasty though as it wasn't too oily nor bland! I would come back to eat the jajang mein read more

I've been told it was the best place to try raw marinated crab. Service takes a while at first but then when food comes it comes quick. We had a group of 5 and it was a bit of a crowd. The tables are very small which makes it hard because the plates took up all the space. But the servers were nice about it and brought a chair out to us so the person coming late can sit. They charge $2 for seaweed wrappers which is kind of pricey, my group was thinking it could go for 75 cents each. The crab was a little too heavy on the sauce which made it hard to taste the actual crab but it was still very tasty and buttery. Everything else was on par with other Korean/Chinese places but the crab was definitely the winner of the day. read more

Spicy raw crab is a must here! We also got the double fried chicken wings w/ garlic sauce and jajang mein. Everything was yummy. Would come back again when I'm craving Korean raw crab. We had to wait awhile outside since there was a waitlist but it didn't take really long. They have a bench and heater to huddle by. Nice and attentive service. read more

The Food quality is great. The portion size is quite generous. The deep fried eggplant has substance, it's like eggplant steak. The chicken wings were very crispy and went well with the garlic sauce. The beef with bitter melon had very tender beef. The sweet and sour pork had the right sweetness without being too sweet. I highly recommend this place! read more

My friend and I both had our eyes on this place for awhile because of their spicy raw crab. She wanted to compare to a spot in the South Bay. We ordered 3 items under their "specialities" section: the spicy raw crab, jajang mein, and double fried chicken wings. The crab was obviously the most notable dish. It comes with a bowl of rice and a pack of seaweed and they provide disposable gloves. Prepare to get messy! The other two dishes were classic comfort foods, nothing special. The jajang mein was overcooked for our liking, but the chicken wings were yummy and the portion was generous. Given the current hype, we were a little underwhelmed by the overall experience. I'm glad I tried it, but I don't think it's worth coming back for just one notable dish. My friend also noted she prefers the South Bay spot because they execute other menu items well, too. read more

JJamPPong - Spicy Raw Crab - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

We had a last minute gathering at our place and needed to feed the crowd. We ordered a LARGE takeout - Jjangmien, Fried Wonton, Wonton Soup, Fried Rice, Garlic Chicken Wings, Broccoli Beef, etc almost $300 worth. They were quick to have the order ready in about 30 minutes. The people were very friendly. Some dishes were well made while others lacked the authentic Korean flavor. Some preparations could have added a little more heat which may have brought out the flavors more, this worked fine for my group of Teenagers. Personally, I eat a lot more spicy food so I could have dealt with a little more heat. read more

One of the few places in the Bay Area where you can get raw marinated crabs! I've been craving raw marinated crab for a while so I came with my family on a Saturday afternoon and got seated almost immediately. We were very hungry so we ordered a lot of food. An order of crabs comes with 3 (6 halves) raw crabs so we got two orders and they were a fan favorite! Even my mom who doesn't like raw food thought the crab was marinated well and great with rice. We also got the double fried chicken wings (garlic), reg jjampong, seafood jjampong, jajangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, and salt & pepper fish fillet. Jajangmyeon is usually one of my fav dishes but it was a bit lacking in flavor so we will prob skip next time. read more

SPICY RAW CRAB....Just get it! It's a one-of-a-kind, delicious, Instagrammable eating experience. It is messy, but the restaurant can give you hand sanitizer, a box of gloves, and a bowl for your shells and dirtied gloves. Restaurant also preps the crab to make it easy to squeeze out and eat. So very yummy! I'm still daydreaming about it 2 months later. You can eat the crab solo, but you also receive seaweed nori sheets to wrap the crab with white rice, kimchi, or pickled daikon radish. We received 3 crabs cut in half, so it was 6 pieces. My best friend wanted me to take pictures of her eating the spicy raw crab, so she could show her other friends. My pictures of her beaming are so lovable and cute, but she'd be so mad if I shared them on Yelp! We also ordered the Double Fried Chicken Wings, which were good but not as delectable as San Tung, and Seafood Jjamppong, whose broth I liked. As a healthy dessert, we got 3 Mandarin oranges. If you order to go or have leftovers, the restaurant will package and shrink wrap the spicy or wet dishes! Very considerate to help us avoid stains and spills. In the future, I'd be interested in trying these dishes: - Sweet and Sour Pork (Tangsuyuk) - Ja Jang Mein or Jajang Mein (jajangmyeon, jjajangmyeon, black bean sauce noodles) - Hong Kong Style Chow Mein with Shrimp - Clams with Oyster Sauce or Black Bean Sauce - Crispy Garlic Beef - Mongolian Beef - Green Bean Garlic Sauce - Deep Fried Green Beans - Eggplant Garlic Sauce There was a wait on a Monday 6:30 pm for dinner. We would have needed to wait for at least 3 tables before us, and tables had just gotten seated. We came back the following Monday for lunch, just before 12 noon, and got in easily. By the time we left a little after 1 pm, the restaurant was full. We were able to get the Double Fried Chicken Wings as a lunch special in mid December 2022, but I was told that the lunch specials menu would soon be changing. read more

JJamPPong - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here for dinner on a weekend. They don't have many tables so the wait was around an hour, so expect to wait. One of the few places in the bay (or the only place?) serving raw marinated crab (don't gotta go to LA for it!). The staff were efficient, friendly and attentive. Since it was a bit cold, we ordered jjamppong, which is prob what they're most known for since it's their restaurant name! Jjamppong-. The mild spice level exceeded my tolerance so I didn't enjoy it as much lol... but def a good option for those who can tolerate spice! It was so flavorful and came with lots of ingredients. Took home leftovers and it was still a whole meal. The portions were huge and would def recommend sharing one among two ppl and ordering other dishes to try. Double fried chicken- You can choose between garlic sauce, salt and pepper or honey chili sauce. We ordered the garlic sauce but all the other flavors sounded good too! It was so saucy and still crunchy! Comes with 12 pieces, which was so filling and worth the price. Def recommend trying it! Overall, would recommend trying this place! The chicken was sooo good and the noodles are a must try for those who can tolerate spice haha! I'll come back to try the marinated crab next time! read more

JJamPpong has been trending on social media with their spicy raw crab and I'm glad to finally try it after my bf let me pick a meal where he wouldn't fight me on it, hehe. Side note - when we pulled up to the restaurant, there was like 5-7 police SUVs across the street from what looked like a burglary at a dispensary. Stay vigilant! JJamPPong is located in the Crocker Amazon area and offers a Korean-Chinese fusion menu with Korean noodles and Chinese entrees like mongolian beef and honey walnut shrimp. There is residential and metered street parking (a bit hard to find). The dining room is a decent size that has seating for mainly 2-4 guests. There is 1 large table for larger groups. The service here is great - the staff is always walking around to check in or retrieve trash/plates. SPICY RAW CRAB - must try! **Warning: This is SPICY - not talking about mild or medium.** This is the dish that has been trending on social media and the spice for this surprised my bf and I, but we couldn't stop eating it! The small crabs are already cut in half and the legs are already "broken", so all you have to do is squeeze that glutenous-looking meat right out - including the tiny legs! They provide gloves for you to squeeze the meat out, roasted seaweed, and rice for this dish. I put a little bit of rice on top of the roasted seaweed and top it with some of the pickled veggies from the dish and of course, crab meat. Eat it like a small roll and voila! A delectable meal. DOUBLE FRIED CHICKEN w/ Garlic Sauce - this dish is giving me San Tung vibes with the look and crunchiness except there's more chicken pieces and they're bigger! Taste would be different than San Tung since it isn't as wet. Definitely a lot more meat for this chicken and was so good. I'm very curious to try the Honey Chili sauce next. Definitely get this during your visit. You will have enough for leftovers after having your spicy raw crab. JAJANG MEIN - First time trying this and it was so good. It's topped with black bean sauce, zucchini, onions (and other things I couldn't tell) and all you gotta do is mix it up a little. I loved the texture of the noodles - it tasted buttery and smooth to me as I slurped it up. This was so good, I decided to take leftovers and save it for lunch tomorrow (instead of dinner), so I have something to look forward to. Everything we ordered tasted great. Can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu. I also couldn't stop thinking about those pickled veggies in the spicy marinated crab dish. I think next time I'm taking it to go with me! read more

The most comforting little Korean spot! The staff are always so incredibly nice and the food never misses. The restaurant is small and seating is limited, so it could be a long wait for a spot for weekend dinnertime. I come here specifically for the spicy raw marinated crabs! The flavor is bold and the spiciness definitely creeps up on you, but the coldness of the raw crab keeps it from becoming unbearable. I've never had raw crabs prior to coming here, I can only describe the texture as kinda slimey and similar to raw sweet shrimp (amaebi) if you were to mince it up. The crabs are precut so all you have to do is squeeze the meat out, roll it up in the provided seaweed, rice, radish and kimchi for the perfect bite! The jajang mein is also very good, it's on the savory side although light and not salty at all. The noodles are really soft and pick ups all the sauce and veggies. During one visit, they were testing raw marinated shrimp as a potential new menu item and gave our table a few to sample. I absolutely loved it, I hope they add it in the future if they haven't already. Love this place, it's so worth the dreaded search for parking in Crocker-Amazon! read more

I came here on a Sunday at around 1:30pm, and there was only one other party in the restaurant. They're known for their spicy raw crab, but I ordered the Crispy Garlic Chicken Wings and the seafood jjamppong. Chicken wings: They give 12 chicken wings. I would have preferred it if they were actually crispy. The garlic sauce they coated it in made the wings kind of soggy, which I was not a fan of. Seafood jjamppong: I liked this dish much better. The noodles were chewy, and they give plenty of seafood. Overall, I'm not sure I would justify going out of my way to come here again, but if you're in the area, then I definitely recommend checking out this supposedly popular spot! read more

I recently visited this spot as I was craving some Tangsuyuk & my cravings were FULLY satisfied :) Super cute family business and they are super sweet - We came in shortly after it opened so no wait. Ordered the Tangsuyuk, Jajangmyun, Spicy Raw Crab, and Green Bean Garlic Sauce. Everything was actually really tasty / flavorful & each dish was huge in portion. I will say the Jajangmyun does taste more homemade feel rather than the expected taste you might eat at a franchise or other Korean/Chinese fusion restaurants. Would most definitely come back again! We agreed that we would order the Tangsuyuk and Spicy Raw Crabs again while trying other dishes, like the Jjamppong. read more

I forgot to take a photo of the jjampong but MYYYYYYY goodness was it one of the most delicious jjampongs i've had in my life. so flavorful and so generous with the amount of seafood in it. the noodles are perfectly cooked and the broth is just lifechanging. The tangsuyuk was impeccable as well. The pork is so tender with the perfect amount of bite to it and the batter was thin and crispy. The sweet and sour sauce was perfectly tangy and sweet, and I love how they put so many vegetables in it. Who knew I would ever like warm cucumbers....

JJamPPong - Sweet & Sour Pork / Tangsuyuk Pork - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Our crew had Korean who knows about the Korean foods pretty well, and we frequently eat Korean foods. We tried two of their popular menu. You have to use the street parkings, and the parking can be tough on the weekends. We spent around 8 minutes just to find the parking in dinner time of Saturday, and we parked 1-2 blocks away (3 minutes walk). We waited around 15 minutes to be seated on that day. The younger lady who was serving for us was nice and attentive. However, the old server (who seems to be Chinese) was rushing everything, and he even forgot what I asked, so I had to ask again. At the end, he spoke to me in both languages (Korean/ Chinese) to say thank you, and I thought that was unnecessary. Overall, there is room for improvement in his customer service skills. - "Sweet & Sour Pork / Tangsuyuk Pork" (as of 3/2025, $23) was very good, but the sauce was too sweet (even though I love the sweet foods). The batter of the pork was crips/ thin, just like how Koreans in Korea cook. This part was amazing. Just FYI: I recommend getting as sauce on the side, if you'd like more crispiness from the battered pork. I believe if the restaurant reduces the sugar amount by 20 percent, it'd be much better. For the price, the portion was adequate. - Spicy raw crab (as of 3/2025, $34) was pretty good too, but it was overpriced for the price. Comes with rice (topped with mix of seaweed pieces+ roasted sesame) and a pack of seaweed. You also have to pay extra $2 just to get the extra pack of the seaweed. The spicy raw crab at here consists of very small size of the crabs (a body of crab is around woman's pinky finger size); also, there is a lack of number of crabs compared to other Koreans restaurants that we tried in Northern CA. For our dish, it only had 6 of small crabs (I counted), and rest of the dish was just veggies/ thick spicy sauced mixed in. For that price, I expected around 9-10 crabs. Also, they ONLY give you kimchi and Korean yellow radish as the side dishes, so that counts as well. IF they will reduce the sugar for the sauce of Tangsuyuk's pork and increase the amount of crabs for spicy raw crab, I likely will re-visit this place. Also, I hope they will serve Korean's soy based raw crab as well, in the near future. read more

I've been dying to try JJamPPong and it lived up to my expectations. We ordered Spicy Raw Crab, Jajang Mein, and Seafood Jjamppong. My favorite was the Jajang Mein. The noodles were the perfect texture. The flavoring was not overly salty. Good proportion of sauce to noodle. The Spicy Raw Crab was so smooth and soft. The marinade was sweeter than I expected but overall very delicious. The crab paired with the seaweed and rice was perfect. I recommend bringing your own seaweed packets as additional packets are $2. The Seafood Jjamppong was also so delicious. They were not greedy with the seafood and veggies. I recommend eating the jjamppong first so the noodles don't soften up. The service was phenomenal. The food was ready fast within around five to ten minutes of ordering. They quickly noticed that we were running low on our ban chan too. The ambiance was cozy, family business. If you're in the San Francisco, you need to try JJamPPong. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu! read more

JJamPPong - Seafood Jjamppong - Chinese Near Me - San Francisco, California

One of the ONLY restaurants in SF that serves Korean spicy raw marinated crab daily (and at a reasonable price)! One of their several specialties, the spicy raw crab is fresh, high-quality, and delicious. Each order comes with a pack of seaweed, rice, and gloves (it gets messy)! I like to take a crab, squeeze the meat onto the rice, and roll it up into the seaweed for the perfect bite. The crab is my personal star on this restaurant's menu, but don't let it overshadow their other specialty dishes. Their seafood noodle soup and black bean noodles are also must tries. Would recommend coming here earlier for dinner to be seated because there can be a pretty long wait during weekends. Everyone is trying to get a piece of that delicious crab, so if you haven't tried it out yet, what are you waiting for?!! read more

Came here on a Saturday night with a friend around 7:30pm and was seated immediately! Parking around here can be tough but there are some in the residential areas.

The jajangmyeon sauce was very tasty and filled with lots of meat and veggies. The salt and pepper fish fillet were fried to perfection and seasoned well. It came out piping hot and had a really nice crunch. My favorite was their famous fried chicken. The skin was so crispy yet the inside was tender and moist. I do wish there was a bit more sauce to dip it in but overall the taste was great. I would definitely come back and order the other dishes to try! read more

You know it's not too often you get to try a place that's 5/5 on Yelp, but this place definitely lived up to the rating!

Also, this restaurant is on Mission St, so expect parking to be a little tough. On to the food! There were a lot of us, so we just ordered tons of dishes, lol, and they were all very tasty! I'd have to say that my favorites were the spicy raw crab, the seafood jjamppong, and the honey walnut shrimp! Literally everything was delicious. As far as service goes, they were kind and attentive. Overall, this was a wonderful meal, and they are definitely worthy of their amazing Yelp rating! read more
