I have been meaning to come to this place for about at least a year after seeing them on Social Media for their Raw Crab! This restaurant is very welcoming as soon as you enter with great quiet atmosphere. We ordered the Raw Crab, Garlic Beef and Mongolian Beef. They were all very delicious! This place is definitely my new go to place for Mongolian Beef. My husband loved the Raw Crab, he has been craving it since he had it in S.Korea I can't wait to come back to try their Sweet and Sour Pork and Jajang Mein.
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
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 went to jjampong for the first time and it was great. The service was quick and attentive. The food came in a reasonable time and it was rlly good. I like how the tangsuyuk was presented, as the meat was fried in finger shaped pieces which made it easy to eat and increased the a crunch to meat ratio. The sauce was also separated which gives you to option to dip or pour it over the meat. The jajangmyeon was topped with a flavorful black bean sauce with cooked onions and pieces of pork. We also like to get the fried wontons to dip in the jajangmyeon black bean sauce and the tangsuyuk sweet and sour sauce. Super cozy atmosphere and homey vibes.
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!
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.
The area surrounding JJamPPong is maybe a little bit sketch, but the interior is clean and put-together! We ordered the jjamppong (seafood noodles) and the black bean noodles, which were tasty and well-portioned. I thought the sauce could have been a bit saltier or flavorful, but that could just be my own tastebuds. Service was kind and quick! A wonderful Sunday lunch experience
Korean spicy crab! A must have when you come here. The fried chicken wings and also the hanover soup is soooo yummy! I came here with my sister, nephew and niece and we loved it there! Can't wait to go back again.
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.
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 !
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.
walked here with my partner in search of a comforting lunch after having a tiring week, and JjamPpong did not disappoint! i got jajangmyeon --my go-to when getting korean comfort food. their black-bean sauce was well flavored and had a decent amount of meat & veggies, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. 5/5! my partner got wonton soup, which was also yummy with satisfyingly warming broth. there wasn't a big variety of banchan but im not complaining, and that kimchi was sooo good !!! overall we had a very satisfying meal and would come here again; the restaurant wasn't too crowded or noisy on that weekday, service was kind and quick, and we had a perfectly warming meal after our cold walk/long week. read more

We came on a Sunday for lunch. The restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived. We ordered 4 dishes between two people. We definitely over ordered but at least we got to try multiple dishes. Our favorite dish was the crispy garlic beef. The beef was very crispy and yummy. The green beans tasted fresh and were perfectly seasoned. The double fried chicken wings weren't very crispy. They were more on the soggy side. The jjamppong came with a good amount of seafood varieties, meat, and veggies. The portions for all of the dishes were generous. At the end, they packed up our leftovers for us. Overall, the food was good and the staff was really friendly. read more
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
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
This is probably the first chinese korean fusion restaurant I've tried that was actually decent! My husband and I came spontaneously on a week night and it was pretty empty and quiet. Our server was really nice and helped make recommendations on the menu. We ordered the seafood jjambong and fried chicken wings with garlic sauce which were both pretty tasty! The portions were also pretty large so we were able to share and eat leftovers the next day! read more
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
I really enjoyed the spicy raw crab dish, which they are known for, and the potstickers were surprisingly tasty. But disappointed about the other dishes we ordered. Fried rice and fried chicken and stir fried veggies were all so bland. They compliment the spicy crab well I guess? If I come here again I want to try the jajangmeong noodles, I saw lots of tables had orders that. read more
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
Super comforting, homey Korean Chinese fare. The servers here were really kind and attentive to our large party. I'd brought a cake and they put it in the fridge and brought it out with paper plates and forks when it was time. For food, we ordered: Raw marinated crab ($34) - 5/5. Came with gloves, laver, and rice. The crab tasted really fresh and the sauce had really sunk into the meat. Honey walnut shrimp ($24) - 5/5. Massive, crunchy pieces of shrimp. The sauce was very yellow and had an acidic tang. Jjamppong ($18) - 5/5. Good amount of seafood and the soup was spicy and warming. Also loved the noodles they used. Deep fried green beans ($18) - 5/5. These beans were coated in a light batter and seasoned lightly. Sweet and sour pork ($23) - 3/5. I found the sauce for this a bit watery and the pieces of pork were pretty small. Double fried chicken wings ($20) - 3/5. The chicken pieces were huge and had a nice crunchy skin but the meat was quite dry. Jajang mein ($16) - Loved the consistency of the noodles and there was plenty of sauce. It got busy as we were leaving around 1:30. I could see this place being great for takeout! 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
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
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

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
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

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
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
I love this place so much. It's my go to place whenever I'm craving something soupy. As always, I ordered the jjamppong and it hit the spot. The broth was super flavorful and they give you huge portions. Super worth. Honestly one of my neighborhood favorites and go to places for an easy meal! Everyone should give this place a try read more

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

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

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

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

Haven't got a chance to try this restaurant in our neighborhood. The reviews are high which is based on service and the food. Waiters are nice and always take care of our needs . Spicy raw crab is kind of spicy. But we love it. Will definitely come back . read more

FREAKEN FIRE! Raw crab was my favorite. Literally deserves to be a 5 star restaurant! Service was great, portions are good! Highly recommend !! 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
I LOVE THIS PLACE. I am so glad JJampPPong opened right before I moved out of SF! I was able to come a few times before leaving. They have a Korean-Chinese fusion menu. This is the first time I've tried Korean spicy raw crab.. sooo good. I also really like their chicken wings! Their Honey walnut PRAWNS are the best I've had -- super big juicy prawns, perfectly battered. Also can't go wrong with the jjamppong or jajangmyeon. Portions are huge! There's enough food to share and take home after. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a comforting, tasty meal. 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

Well for starters Wows friends this place is legit Korean-Chinese food in pretty boutique restaurant in not the greatest part of town but it's so worth it. If you live in SF what are you waiting on if visiting it's definitely worth a lunch visit. We enjoyed 3 different dishes 1 Jajameyoun good just wouldn't go back for only it. 2 spicy seafood and pork noodle soup was one of the best I have ever had. 3 the sweet and sour pork was the best I ever ate and this is saying a lot having lived in Korea and going back almost every year not to mention a Korean wife, so we go to Korean restaurants 90% of the time lol. I'll be making this a return visit whenever I'm in SF ! read more

I want to gatekeep this place so bad but for Yelp... I WILL SHARE. Drop everything you're doing and come try here!! We ordered everything on the "specialties" section - blue crab - jjampong - black bean noodles - chicken wings Every single dish was SOOOO good! The marinated blue crab was super meaty and the sauce was perfect. The jjampong was spicy but the type of spicy where you can't stop eating it :) Will be bringing more friends and family here! read more
bang for your buck -- huge portions! jjangmyeon was not too greasy, and the noodles were nice and chewy, but could do with more cucumbers. jjamppong was flavorful and loaded with seafood including jumbo shrimp and mussels (albeit slightly overcooked). staff are super friendly, and street parking was not hard to find. the menu is more chinese than korean. read more
Came here for the spicy raw crab, and I was not disappointed! It was my first time trying raw marinated crab, and I'm glad I tried it here - the texture of the crab was smooth and creamy, and the spice was a good kick. Not too spicy though! It goes really well with the rice and seaweed. We also got the jajang mein (black bean noodle) which is sweet so it balanced out really well. The people here were very attentive and friendly. We stayed for a long time but didn't feel rushed to leave. I would definitely come back to try other popular dishes like their seafood jjamppong, or the raw crabs again! read more
