Quick Review – Jang Su Jang, Korean Tofu and BBQ

Jang Su Jang has a two locations in the Bay Area — Santa Clara and Milpitas. They are known for Korean BBQ, although if you get a non-grill table, you can still get BBQ that is served on a hot/sizzling plate and brought to your table. They also have noodle, dumpling, and tofu soup dishes.

If you order the package meals, it comes with a selection of meats that the staff cooks on the grill in the middle of the table for you.  We order the brisket and marinated short rib. Each person gets their own dipping sauces.

As with most Korean BBQ places, you get rice and a number of side dishes, which you can get refills. There was one with beef chunks that was really good, but that one was not refilled, so we only got some for the table.

Verdict: 
Staff was efficient at rolling out orders and  cooking the meats at the table. Sides were tasty and made you want to eat more rice.  The Santa Clara location is pretty popular, so definitely expect a wait if you walk in during dinner time.  I would suggest making reservations, especially if you want a grill equipped table. A group of 4 or 6 is probably ideal, as you can order a larger variety and share.  Definitely would put on rotation of restaurants that are good for small groups, especially those that love to eat meat. I have been to the Milpitas location for lunch, ordering the lunch specials. Experience was the same, so if that location is closer to you, would recommend you try that one.
