    Came here for a later lunch on a weekend and this place wasn't too busy which was great for our larger party. We got seated quickly and the space felt clean and modern. You order food on an iPad which was efficient and quick for us while service was fast and solid. Food was typical of a buffet KBBQ in terms of quality, but it was tasty and definitely satisfied our cravings. Sides were fine and soups were sufficient enough. For an all you can eat experience, this was a great option and the price wasn't too unjustifiable. Thanks, Seoul Jung!

    Terrible. We had a group of 7 and I had to sit on a chair at the end. All our food could not fit on the table so the raw meat plates were laid on a chair. Meat quality not great. Too bouncy. And we got the middle tier. Side dishes were unlimited and decent. The Egg custard was the best one. Service was decent. No complaints. I will not be back.

    Nice little spot that gives an old school feel! The banchan options are solid and usually my fav! I consider it my veggie intake! lol It's pretty cost effective at a good value! The meat selection is plentiful depending on which option you choose! I chose the most cost effective option and it was plentiful enough for me! The meat quality was solid and the sauces were good! Service was fine! They greet you at the door, but the follow up was so-so. Great spot for cost effective kbbq!

    We had a good experience at Seoul Jung. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly. Everything we ordered came out hot and tasted fresh. The only thing that left a bad impression was that our tofu soup was served in a cracked/broken bowl. While the soup itself was delicious, I don't think food should be served in damaged dishware, especially something as hot as tofu soup. It felt like a safety issue and took away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Aside from that, everything else was good, and I would consider coming back. I just hope they pay closer attention to the condition of the dishes they use.

    It's been at least seven or eight years since I last ate at Seoul Jung. Recently, a buddy of mine received one of their coupons advertising an $18.99 AYCE deal called the "Outlets Special". He told me about it, and we decided to check it out with a few friends on 03/31/2025. Our group of five walked in at around 6:30pm, and it took them a while before seating us because there was a party of 39 people ahead of us. No major changes to the interior were noted since my last visit. Cleanliness was questionable. The floor was sticky and so were to sauce bottles. The TV I was facing was showing the Giants/Astros game. The "Outlet Special" menu was understandably smaller than the regular AYCE menu. It offered nine types of meat (no seafood), plus a couple appetizers, fish cake/rice cake soups, rice, and grilling vegetables (lettuce, garlic, and jalapeno all cost extra). For us, that's exactly what we wanted. We were told we can order up to five meat items per round. We ended up getting five rounds. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity. My favorites were the bulgogi and spicy pork belly. The flavors were really good. Ventilation here was not good at all. It took 48 hours and multiple showers to wash the smell off of me. Service we received was very good. The entire staff was friendly and efficient. Grills were changed several times during the meal, and water and banchan requests were taken care of promptly. The total, with tax and an automatic 18% tip, was about $123. For what we had, we all thought it was a steal in today's economy. All in all, the "Outlets Special" exceeded my expectations. I thought the food and service were both good for the price. Honestly, where else can you go these days to get AYCE Korean BBQ for less than $25? If you are in the area, this special is worth checking out. 4 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - I was told the coupons are available at the San Francisco Premium Outlets in nearby Livermore. However, we did not present one to the staff and they still let us partake. - "Outlets Special" available M-F, excluding holidays and Black Friday. - Ample parking on site.

    Yummy!!!

    Super delicious! Clean and friendly staff! Lots of options to choose from! Will definitely come back and refer

    Our dining experience here 3 months ago was so good that I decided to come back, hoping to repeat that great experience, and it did not disappoint. We went with the Tier A selection, still priced at $25 as of December 2025, and ordered the beef brisket, beef belly, beef bulgogi, and spicy squid. Everything was delicious, but the standout dishes for me were the beef belly and the spicy squid. The beef belly was fatty and flavorful even without seasoning, and the spicy squid had the perfect balance of sweetness and heat, with exceptionally tender meat. We also ordered the spicy pork bulgogi, which was very tasty. As for sides, I absolutely loved the kimchi fried rice. We also tried the bulgogi fried rice, but the kimchi version was definitely better. The spicy rice cake side, however, was hugely disappointing. The sauce was far too runny and did not cling to the rice cakes, so I probably would not order that again. My favorite side dish was the bowl of rice with seaweed. It was simply seasoned with salt and sesame oil, yet incredibly flavorful. The steamed egg was also very good. The soft tofu stew was just okay, but it provided a nice break from the grilled meat. For dessert, we had the fried sesame balls. Service was efficient, and I appreciated how quickly the staff worked. Orders came out fairly fast using the QR code system. Parking was a bit frustrating since the lot was full even during weekday lunchtime, but we eventually found a spot. Overall, I would definitely come back again if I am in the area.

    Stopped by with some friends to enjoy Korean BBQ. Never have been here but I am glad we stopped by! Did the highest AYCE option which included Wagyu choices. All meats ordered were delicious! Service was extremely quick. Bathrooms were a little dirty but service was great. Possibly my new Korean BBQ spot!

    brisket, garlic chicken, veggies, and pork belly.

    A good consistent affordable spot for KBBQ. The service isn't bad either, really quick normally and they always seem busy enough, but never so busy we have to wait. They have a really unique selection of sides like their kimchee fried rice, steamed egg, the soups. It's surprising how big it is inside too.

    Beef Bacon(1lb)
    Nancy C.

    Soooooo good! And you cannot beat the price. Beef bacon was the best out of all the meat we tried

    Premium Menu (12/15/23)
    Andy C.

    I love the beef bacon, tofu soup, seaweed rice! The side dishes are also really good. The all day pricing is also a welcome change! I also like getting the King Galbitang (beef rib soup) on cold nights. Have been coming to Seoul Jung for more than a decade and will continue!

    Meats & seafood (Menu B)
    Wesley W.

    Seoul Jung Korean BBQ is a new restaurant in the Fallon Shopping Plaza. There are 3 types of menu to choose from ranging from $25 to $40. The selection number of food items increase as you step up to the higher menu tier. The $40 tier includes Wagyu beef. It's the typical cook your own seafood and meats. There are meats that not marinated. Meats that are marinated will be flagged on the menu. The service was prompt and our server was helpful. Your first order will be taken by your server. All subsequent food items you want to order will be from your phone after you scan the QR code. The QR code will have your table ID so the servers will know where to deliver your orders. The marinated short ribs and bulgogi were very tasty. It could have been much better if the marinade was more pronounced. It was on the light side. Some meats were tough, like the finger steak. Too much ligament throughout the small pieces of meat. The number of sauces provided was too little. Just garlic oil and a sweet radish sauce. There are bottles of sriracha, sesame oil, and other sauces, but didn't really match well with the non marinated meats. Seoul Jung should marinade all their meats with the appropriate Korean sauces. There are many good items to order from ranging from meats, chicken, seafood (squid, shrimp, etc), veggies, different Korean soups, different fried rices, and even dessert. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Seoul Jung Korean BBQ. We'll revisit in the near future and I'll update my review.

    We saw a big sign stating AYCE for $19.99 inside of the Livermore outlet while we were there yesterday. After finishing our shopping, we came here for lunch. We knew it was an advertisement. When the guy passed us the menus. They have different price menus for the limited beef and side dishes section. In the end, we choose $24.99. Food options and portions are pretty decent. They allow you to pick five items at a time. Food came out fast, and they kept changing your grill pan. This is the best AYCE that has ever provided excellent customer service. :)

    To our surprise when receiving the bill. WTH service charge?!?!?!

The ambience always is great, good music, good crowds, always something to watch for those who just want to kick it and have a drink. The reason for the three star review is that I cant help but notice that the quality and portioning of food has diminished from prior experiences i had here in the past years. To make it worse, prices have only gone up due to inflation. We had the rednexican nachos, burnt ends, sliced brisket ends and fried oreos. The nachos and the fried oreos were great as usual, but the entrees, not so much. The temps were off and the taste was not there, it has not been for the past two visits for us. Not sure if it's the product itself or the preparation of it, but it's just not the same quality i was used to. It's still a good spot to visit, but I wouldn't recommend it as a go to BBQ spot in the Livermore area.
