    This is a well-hidden gem in the Sacramento area and a spot you should put on your list. They have a great menu that offers something for everyone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a hole-in-the-wall type of warmth that I love (bring your own Sharpie so that you may write on the wall) with the food to match.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is super helpful so if you have any questions about the menu, do not be afraid to ask. Everything was tasty and very good but, out of everything, the star of the show for me was the cheese tteok-boki. Probably the best tteok-boki I've had here--texture of the rice cakes was perfect and there was a smokiness that I can't describe but just know it was divine. We ordered so much food but there was still so much I wanted to try. Will be coming back here again and again and again!

    A classic Korean staple in Sacramento! Looks like they've gone under new management in the last few years but I'm glad their recipes haven't changed. I think they have the best seafood pancake and spicy chicken. In all my years coming here (at least 15 years), I've probably only tried about a quarter of their menu but no complaints on them. Everything is always delicious but I tend to stick to my classics of the spicy chicken, seafood pancake, bulgolgi, Bossam, or tofu soup to name a few.

    So glad I tried this place despite the avg ratings! I read the latest reviews and decided to try--they are spot on. Great food--we had bulgogi, japchae, ttekboki, and fried chicken wings -- all were delicious!! Came with purple rice--which has a more nutty flavor, healthier too I think. Service was great, the waiter was attentive--they accommodated my shellfish allergy too! (Just heads up that most kimchi has shrimp paste in case you're allergic!) [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place reminds me of Koreatown restaurants in LA and the food was up there too! Love the writings on the wall, it gave an authentic feel[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely come back to try more!

    Soondubu with beef

    Good service and Korean food. Got the spicy sweet fried chicken, seafood pancake, and spicy tofu soup with beef. Everything was good, but they're skimpy on the protein in their foods. The seafood pancake didn't have much seafood in it. Normally there's squid, shrimp, and I believe another seafood? But this time, there were barely any bits of shrimp from a few pieces. Almost forgot it was a seafood pancake because mainly just saw and tasted egg and veggies. For a $24 seafood pancake, I would hope to have a bite of seafood in every piece. The tofu soup didn't have much beef in it either. Food is good, just hope they don't skimp on the protein again.

    I recently dined at this restaurant with a group of four people and noticed an 18% service charge added to our bill. Unfortunately, this fee was not clearly disclosed in advance. If it was mentioned, it was not visible or noticeable to customers before ordering. I understand that restaurants may apply service charges, but they should be clearly and transparently communicated. Adding a significant fee without clear notice feels misleading and unfair to customers. I wasn't clearly informed about the service charge before ordering. This service charge was not clearly disclosed before we ordered. I'm not comfortable paying a hidden fee

    Loved my experience! The staff were super welcoming and greeted us right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were able to sit down right away, and enjoy the baseball game on the tv which was a plus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the ambiance of the place as well, it was so comforting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was amazing. All our hot dishes came out sizzling and timely served. I definitely recommend trying the tteokbokki, the sweet and spicy wings and the soondubu. I will be back:)

    Korean restaurants have come and gone in this area but Sa Rang Bang remains one of my favorites for over a decade. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's tiny, it's cozy, and not much has changed over the years, but the food remains delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came for an early dinner yesterday as soon as they opened. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like how private the booths feel, although some might think it feels crowded. But it's just perfect for parties of 1-4.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came in mainly wanting soondubu but ended up ordering 4 dishes...never a bad thing to have some delicious leftovers! Bulgogi- always a must here! It's tender and nicely cooked, and comes on a sizzling plate which keeps it nice and warm. Omurice- this was our first time ordering this dish here. It's not the traditional Japanese kind and I wish the egg was fluffier but it was a very pretty dish and definitely a good one for sharing. Kimchi pancake- very generous portion size! It's so flavorful and not overly spicy at all, which big chunks of green onion. Beef soondubu- could have been spicier and they didn't ask what kind of spice level we wanted, but not sure if they just assumed mild because we had the kids with us. But overall it really satisfied our soondubu craving on this gloomy day!

    This is my favorite korean restaurant! I haven't been here in years but they still have the best seafood pancakes. We were finally able to visit and so we ordered so many dishes but they all came out pretty quickly. We ate seafood pancakes, beef tofu soup, spicy fried chicken, kimchi fried rice and tteok-bokii. Everything was so delicious!! I'm not a fan of tteok-boki but husband loves it and their's was actually pretty bomb! The sauce was thick and flavorful with cheese and hotdog pieces. The server was also attentive, coming by to check on us from time to time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is a gem, giving off that little korean hometown vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm glad it hasn't changed!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, great service, but it can get hot in there during the summer evenings![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can also get busy at times (showing you how good the food is).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seafood pancake and kimchi fried rice are must haves!

    This is one of those spots you only come across every now and then. It's a rare occasion that you find a restaurant with a vibe like this one. Me and my friends were craving Korean bbq but we had a recommendation to try this spot. It is almost hidden from the outside but when you go inside you are kindly greeted by the staff. The benches and walls are all tagged up by previous customers and it gives it a homey ambiance. We ordered some Korean beer recommended by the server and it was light and crisp so it didn't fill us up too much. The food was so good that I only took a picture of the chicken wings! I forgot to take pictures of everything else but I'll compensate with a review. Spicy chicken wings - we got the whole chicken cut up and it was delicious. It wasn't super breaded and crunchy like other fried chicken but with the flavorful sauce it didn't need to be at all. 8/10 Kimchi Pancake - this thing came out massive looking like a cheese pizza. It's paired with a tangy dipping sauce which is great but I like it just by itself. If you enjoy kimchi you must try this. 9/10 Bulgogi - There wasn't much special about this dish because personally, bulgogi is never amazing but it was still necessary to get! 8/10 Next time going to try the galbi. Raw marinated crab- nobody in my group has ever tried this so we decided to give it a go. The waitress gave us gloves to eat it with and made sure we didn't eat the shell because we thought that's how it was done. It was like nothing we ever tried before. Super soft, spicy and flavorful. Definitely recommend if you are feeling adventurous. 10/10

    Tteokbokki with cheese, ramen noodles and sausages.  Spicy Seafood tofu soup.. some of our favorites
    Jenica E.

    Everytime we go we've tried something different plus some of our usual faves and it never disappoints. Our usuals are Tteokbokki with rice cakes,cheese, ramen noodles and sausages has the perfect chew in every bite and cheese pull is phenomenal. Spicy Seafood tofu soup is great for rainy days. If you like a good crunch their seafood pancake is one of my favorites along with the fried chicken with the spicy sauce on the side. The restaurant itself is small, but gives a warm and cozy ambiance. Hole in the wall experience. The best part is that they close pretty late in the night. They also serve great selection of soju and beer.

    Spicy raw crab
    Autumn L.

    Love this place!!! The food was amazing. I've been looking for a good Korean spot that has spicy raw marinated crab. I once tried raw crab before in SoCal and didn't like it, but I wanted to so bad and had to give it another try. I'm glad I did cause this place didn't disappoint and I now like it! Another favorite was the bibimap and spicy sausage/rice cake IMO. I ate the bibimap as a left over and it was still fireeee. Although I do wish the spot was a little bigger as its a very small place. We were able to fit our party of 6 but anything more than that, might have to be separate tables so just keep thay in mind.

    We returned to Sa Rang Bang after a long time away and it was still as great as we remembered, but with A+ service this time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were three adults and a toddler, and they had high chairs that fit nicely in the booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We used to go to Sa Rang Bang often as we lived in Rosemont when we first moved to Sacramento, so this was a nice trip down memory lane. The food as always is excellent. We've ordered takeout from here, and there is a difference. You have to eat in! The food just tastes so much better hot. The only thing I would say is that it was really warm, and getting a stew made it hotter. However, it's definitely worth it. Makes the experience more authentic.

We kicked off the evening with Jameson shots before diving into the menu. Our group ordered a mix of the corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, while I opted for the corned beef tacos. Every dish was excellent, the corned beef is incredibly tender and literally melts in your mouth. If you want to try it but aren't up for a heavy sandwich and fries, the tacos are a fantastic, flavor-packed alternative that I will definitely order again.

Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly bartender by the name of Ronny. Our first round consisted of two dirty martinis (my new drink of choice), which Ronny put his fist (that's a good thing) into making. One of the things that I love about dive bars is the various demographics that usually frequent them (along with their interesting conversations). For our second round we ordered a "Manmosa (yes I know that sounds ridiculously machismo in 2024)" that Ronny insisted on putting a fruity spin on. Not only were we thankful for his suggestion, but his version was GOOD! In real dive bar-like fashion, Ronny provided us both with an extra cup to house the remainder of the Manmosa that could not fit into our glasses (another dive bar perk). As we sat at the bar, my wife and chatted while lightly watching the movie Step Brothers on one of the televisions. Although it was a fairly slow Saturday afternoon, I can imagine that this place gets pretty lively in the latter part of the night though. We observed lots of seating, games, and an area for karaoke (toasted karaoke is the best!). I highly recommend The Blind Pig if you're looking to have deliciously strong drinks at a price that won't have you waking up the next morning rethinking the decisions that you made the previous night!

If you cannot resolve a problem, or if it is an ongoing issue, you should escalate it to someone with the expertise and authority to address consumer concerns. Do not wait for customers to approach you after the situation has already deteriorated, especially when a flippant response has shifted the tone of the interaction. Another option would have been to table the conversation for a later time or on a different day until more information was available. What began as a discussion about a product concern quickly became focused on a employee instead of the issue itself. The manager appeared to become frustrated, stated to understand the main concern, yet responded with an unnecessarily intense tone and level of defensiveness.
