All in all a cozy little place with tables and and barstools to watch the game and listen to live music. a great little reasonably priced get away spot. Kevin“

“Ordered the mixed BBQ plate and a few musubi on the go. The portion for the plate is generous and the size of the musubi is good. However, the taste of the food is generally okay without any pleasant surprises. It is definitely a go to place for getting good food at great prices.“

“I want to take my time writing this review to let the emotions sink in the best way i know how to describe them.

Upon entering, you are greeted with a calm, loving greeting that feels like you are truly appreciated supporting their business. This is extremely important in the USA. After that, you are asked if you have been there before, and if not, they explain the process to you meticulously and at a perfect pace. There is no feel of a rush. The feeling I get is they truly want you to enjoy their food and they want to make sure it is right.
The food is expertly cooked with a smile and warm hello from the cooks. While your food is being prepared, the gentleman makes sure your food utensils and preferences are met before your meal makes it out.

Every time i go here, its magical. I feel relaxed and so happy to support this business. A business that loves their customers is hard to find nowadays. Working in the airport is stressful, and this is my grounding point that makes that work stress just another day with a smile on my face. Thank you Su’s!!!

“The food was the bomb! The mac and cheese was off the hook delicious. I couldn’t stop eating it! My hot link was cooked perfectly. My wife had the fried fish with the yams and fries, and loved it. In fact, my son, who had the maple pecan waffles and chicken, finished off my wife’s fish, along with the cornbread muffin and fries. The food was so delicious that my wife came back to the downtown location the next night with her friends before they went to see “ And Juliet” at Broadway San Jose! We definitely will be back to the downtown location before our next Broadway SJ show,and plan to go to the other location on Monday!“

“At poke places, it is so important for the food to be fresh. You don't have to worry about this here. The staff is willing to help you arrange your bowl if you want any suggestions about pairings. Highly recommend!“

“We've come to the age where we value quality over quantity when it comes to food; gone are the days of overstuffing ourselves at AYCE locations. As a result, we're always in search of new restaurants where the food really hits the spot and leaves us feeling satisfied. One of my friends recommended Baekjeong, as it was his favorite and go-to kbbq spot in the bay area. I was able to book a same-day reservation for our party of 6, and we ordered 2 large beef combos. The staff cooks the meat for you, and provides around 6 banchans and 2 salad types. Our server was Risa, who was super friendly and attentive, and we felt right at home with her. She kept everything running smoothly and made us feel so welcome. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. Since then, many days have passed, but I'll have moments where I think back and crave the food we had at Baekjeong. I'm always looking forward to the next time I can come back.

Additional notes: Free wifi is available. Restaurant is on the exterior of Valley Fair mall. Parking is by the Stevens Creek parking garage with a short walk through the mall; most of the parking directly in front is only for the bank. Entrance is on the first floor, but restaurant is on the second floor with both stairs and elevator access. There usually is a host downstairs at the entrance to admit you, and you wait in the waiting room upstairs. They give a free soda to designated drivers!“

“First time there and the food was absolutely amazing - can not recommend the brisket“

“Tried meat only, brisket, tri-tip, and pulled pork since on keto diet right now. Brisket was tasty & tender with a good amount of smoke on it, just how I like it. What's the point of bbq if you can't really taste that the meat was smoked? Also enjoyed the tri-tip & pork. When I am in the area and have a hankering for great BBQ, which is often, I'll be back“

“Great food, drinks and people!“

“Best tritip!! best potato salad!!! best beans!!! best garlic bread!!! best customer service!!! The only BBQ I will ever eat here in south bay! prayers they come to san mateo and alameda County fairs next summer! and state fair!“

“A old school broiler with awesome people running the business. I had the French Burger, absolutely delicious. Will be back for another great meal. Also the bathrooms are so clean and nice smelling.“

“the best brisket Italian sausage“

“The caterer for my daughter's wedding canceled a week before the wedding. Latin-Asian-Fusion Kitchen came through with exactly what was needed. The help was sincere and the food was great. Everybody complimented the food and there was plenty. Roddy responded to us promptly and kept in touch throughout the week and event. Great experience!!“

“Really good bbq! My family and I love coming here!“

“This is a nice street food you need to try. The menu has plenty of selections. I tried lamb skews, beef skews, bean skews, fried chicken bones, and the hot pot. I like everything, except the fried chicken bones. The food is mild. The owner is really friendly. I will come back to try others.“

“Great food. Steeler Nation!“

“This store is expert of Chinese BBQ for a long time. Roast ducks and piglets are the best among San Jose BBQ stores. Squid is tasty too. I will go back here for sure. I hope the store can look a little bit clean and neat. It will definitely attract more customers.“

“Amazing!!!!! Go for it))))) so good“

“Best Smoked Crispy Pata (which has to be ordered ahead) and cornbread! Chef adds his special ingredients to the dishes and the taste is out of this world! This restaurant is a must try for all you foodies.“

“Great experience! The broth base was rich and well-seasoned—far beyond expectations for a rotating buffet hotpot. Ingredients were fresh, and picking dishes from the belt was fun and easy. No tips means it’s fully DIY, which actually suits me well—I love eating without interruptions or forced mid-meal check-ins. I’ll definitely come back again!“

“It's a food truck restaurant. But they have covered seating which they share with another pop up Mexican restaurant.A sign in the sidewalk directs you inside a driveway. It's the covered restaurant right there in the left. You can't tell because the sign is for the restaurant they share the eating space with.Menu is very limited but it's well prepare and good.Lumpia is fresh; he rolls and then deep fries them right there. The chicken with garlic rice is tasty. The garlic rice is actually white rice topped with toasted garlic. Try the pork and tocino skewers.“

“the best brunch buffet In Bay area. amazing kitchen. 10 stars“

“The food was good. The fried chicken po boy was awesome“

“Hole in the wall Korean BBQ and ramen joint. Don't expect much for ambiance, just a walkup counter and take your food to go. There's no restroom available and no free water.The cheese ramen is a delicious surprise - creamy, with a smidge of spice. The sandwiches are a pile of meat on bread, no veggies and sides are extra. I got the King sandwich, which is a pile of pork rib meat and hot links on a simple white bread roll. It was very good, but I'd like to add kimchi next time for some variety.“

“Food are amazing, wagyu beef is beautiful and staff are very accommodating“

“Good Food Good Service Clean restaurant“

“JC's has been my go-to BBQ spot for over 25 years. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their beef ribs! The meat is always falling off the bone. And they're big! The hot links are addictive, the chicken is perfect and when I used to work close by, on my lunch break I would frequently get their pulled pork. I'm obsessed with the garden salad & dressing!! Always so consistently fresh and crisp! Would recommend 10 out of 10!“

“Really good local joint for excellent Hawaiian BBQ. So many good menu selections with bbq nix. Different plates, chicken katsu, kalua pork, etc. Staff is really friendly and helpful and they are always have good traffic and plenty of seating.“

“Great food. I loved the pancit, but they were out of Adobe.“

“Food can be a bit inconsistent at times, but their service is always good, and they will even remake food for you if the food tastes a bit off - maybe stay away from cold noodles. Their banchan is usually very good - but can be a little off when they are too busy to control their quality. Despite this, I will always come back because they offer great Korean comfort food. 😊 best japchae, galbi ddeokbokki, sulungtang in town.“

“Interesting BBQ joint. Came here as a large party and took the entire restaurant and indoor seating area. Roughly 100 people. The grills on the table were warming trays and the skewers were brought to the table fully cooked. It's definitely an experience and has traditional Chinese street vendor BBQ vibes although the quality of the ingredients is average. They do have some unique prepared dishes which I enjoyed from the vermicelli garlic scallops and oysters that were super tasty.“

“Tobang delivers a classic Korean BBQ experience with generous banchan, quality meats, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The staff keeps the table stocked, refreshes side dishes without being asked, and checks in at the right moments, which makes the meal feel smooth and well‑paced. Service is attentive but never intrusive, and the team moves with a steady rhythm that keeps the grill active and the table organized. It’s the kind of place where the grill becomes the center of the table and everyone naturally gets involved.

The food itself is flavorful and satisfying, from the sizzling cuts of pork galbi, cha dol baegi, and short ribs to comforting dishes like seafood tofu soup and kimchi fried rice. The seafood pancake is crisp and generous, and the Yakult at the end adds a fun, nostalgic touch. The variety of banchan keeps the meal balanced, and the mix of marinated and non‑marinated meats gives everyone something to enjoy. It’s a great spot for groups, casual dinners, or anyone craving a hands‑on dining experience with plenty of shareable dishes.

Overall, Tobang offers a dependable and enjoyable Korean BBQ outing. The atmosphere is warm, the portions are generous, and the service keeps everything running smoothly without rushing you. Whether you’re coming with a small group or a larger party, the experience feels communal in the best way, and the food delivers consistent flavor and comfort.“

“I love bbq chicken ❤️I eat it twice a month. I always order two kinds of boneless chicken and cheese sticks. There are two types of batter, one is crunchy. The other is crispy like tempura. Both are very delicious 😋 The spicy seasoning is really spicy, so it doesn't suit me. People who like spicy food will be satisfied.“

“Friendly and helpful staff, great environment, attentive. my first time having Caribbean food and got the jerk chicken, the extra sauce is highly recommended for the extra kick.“

“The Hut has the best Tri tip sandwich I’ve ever had. The pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwich is to die for!! The French fries are always yummy😋you really can’t go wrong with any thing on the menu ! My son loves the baby back ribs. The Hut is a warm , friendly, fun , place do dine!! The service is always great!!“

“1st timers! Great ambiance! love the whole look of the place, very clean, fun atmosphere! Food was Great!! and the Waitress was excellent. We do wish they woulda kept the front door closed on such a cold nite. you couldn't even take off your jacket. overall⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“delicious. love the jerk sauce“

“Very Good quality of meat barbecue. But service is bad.“

“Went here today and the guy cooking deserves praise as I'm a 35 year Vegetarian and this guy saw my food had no meat in it so he kept my food separate And he wiped the cooking utensils after he touched the meat in another meal, I really appreciated that act as it made me want to come back and eat here again!! Well done sir!!“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Don Blanc! If you’re looking for a good place in Santa Clara, this is the spot. The quality of the wagyu and beef short ribs is unmatched. You can really tell they don't skimp on the grade of meat. Even the side dishes were fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend. Took the work from us bbq the meat ourselves they took the time to do it for us.“

“Pizza took a little longer than usual to get but other than everything was perfect.“

“This Korean BBQ restaurant truly exceeded my expectations! The quality of the beef is outstanding — easily comparable to the Hanwoo beef I’ve had in Korea. You can really taste how premium and fresh the meat is, especially when grilled.

The banchan (side dishes) selection is also very generous and well-prepared, offering great variety and authentic flavors. A special shoutout to their seasonings and sauces — the sauce selection is way more extensive than most Korean BBQ spots, and each one pairs perfectly with the meat.

Most importantly, this place is not just about BBQ. Their braised spicy pork ribs (the famous Korean spicy rib stew) are incredibly flavorful and deeply marinated, with the sauce soaking into every bite. It’s rich, spicy, and absolutely comforting.

Oh, BTW. Our sever is absolutely amazing, super helpful and very nice .

If you’re looking for authentic Korean flavors, high-quality meat, and amazing sauces all in one place, this spot is a must-try. Highly recommended!“

“Very nice ambiance and great service. All staffs look professional and prompt.“
