“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Among many Korean BBQ restaurants, this place truly stands out for both quality and value. Compared to other BBQ spots, the pricing is very reasonable, allowing families to enjoy a satisfying and filling meal together. Side dishes are generously refilled, the meat quality is excellent, and the service is consistently attentive and friendly. This is definitely a must-try Korean BBQ restaurant in the Bay Area.“

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

“My friend and I come here every so often and the ladies who work at night are always really kind, almost like aunties. We usually order the cold noodles (mul naeng myeun) and tteokbokki, but we've also tried the seafood pancakes, soft tofu soup with beef, and bulgogi. Everything we've had so far has been delicious.

Our routine is to get our usuals plus one extra dish, which always leaves US with some leftovers to take home. The food is tasty, and whilel can't speak to how authentic it is, it's definitely a great spot to enjoy a relaxed dinner hangout.“

“I've only ordered takeout from this location, but I can tell the restaurant itself has that sort of local Hawaiian type of vibe. Yes, the portions are really big. My wife and I just ordered food for lunch and it'll definitely feed us at dinner too (and possibly a little bit for breakfast). The last L&L we would go to (Fremont) skimped on the portions, but it was the closest to our house at the time so we didn't really have a choice. Now going to this L&L (Homestead Rd., Santa Clara), we're definitely going to go here more often just because of the portion size! Highly recommended!“

“This location has changed several restaurants, but I haven't tried it since it changed to cooking Cooking .

The food was surprisingly good, and although the price was a bit high, it was well worth it. pork neck with bitter melon $22 , salt egg yolk with fish & pumpkin $24.50 , salty fish with pork clay pot $24.50 all good!
Especially the bitter melon, it is probably the best I have ever eaten, the cooking time is just right, the pork neck is very soft, but it is full of fragrance.

The service is very warm and friendly! The tables might be too close together and it's easy to hear other people's conversations.“

“I have not been to Chungdam for more than two years because everything was just way too sweet and salty. Recently, I heard that the ownership changed so I made a reservation for family dinner. Food, service, and atmosphere are all not much better than how it was under the previous ownership. We got a nice quiet room with a sliding door. Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.“

“We recently ordered a shipment online. The minimum order was rather large but there's plenty to choose from so it was easy and it came fresh and refrigerated. Most of it can be frozen and it was all delicious after defrosting. We tried the sausage, ravioli and some sauces. The Gigli was a hit with the kids who are fussy eaters. The Linguica that I'd heard about previously is also superb. We cooked it in soups and stir fry dishes as well as on its own. Will definitely order again as the pasta/sauce combos make for an easy meal.“

“I had dinner at Milo’s Kitchen last night with a few close friends, and honestly, I was blown away. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming — dim lighting, soft jazz in the background, and the smell of fresh herbs in the air. We ordered the roasted garlic shrimp, truffle mushroom risotto, and the slow-cooked lamb shank. Every bite was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The portions were generous too. Our server, Jamie, was super attentive without being overbearing — she even recommended a wine that paired beautifully with the lamb. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in months.“

“It's an amazing and conducive place.. i like all the foods � very delicious and affordable price.. so, to all people out there try it!!“

“Absolutely the best kbbq place I’ve had in Bay Area
Meat quality was amazing and the side dishes are amazing, (definitely get the kimchi noodles here)
The only thing better than the food was the service!!! It’s a smaller restaurant so the servers are very attentive and cook the meat perfectly for you every time
Can’t wait to come back“

“Great service. Very attentive and friendly servers“

“Staff is so friendly and order was made quick. Food was amazing. Highly recommend.“

“This fried chicken was so good!! All white meat, boneless and skinless. The breading is SO well seasoned and there’s lots of it to crunch on! I ordered the tenders, which were real pieces of chicken and not in uniformed, machine-cut shapes. I got a biscuit with my dish which was totally legit based on the southern cooking I’ve had in past. Steaming hot and moist. Not buttery so possibly made with lard. I had veggies for a side to try to ease my guilt for all the other calories. Those were definitely fresh, seasoned, and varied. Our table wasn’t clean but I didn’t care after walking around for 8 hours with two boys.“

“Best pork belly korean bbq in town, Thick and juicy, especially the way they bbq for you at the table guarantees the pork will be cooked to its best taste. The spicy seafood soup goes very well with the bbq. The bbq that makes you think of once a while in few weeks“
