Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Santa Clara, CA

“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!“

“A popular Korean BBQ restaurant that has been around for many years in the Koreatown of Santa Clara. They have four sets of menu for 2-4 people. The waitress would ask you to pick out the meats as soon as you enter the door before you sit down at the table. Our waitress recommended brisket, pork belly, bulgogi (sliced beef), and galbi (beef short ribs), as well as the steamed egg for the kids. We also added a spicy BBQ chicken. The brisket and pork belly were a bit dry but still pretty tasty; the bulgogi tasted a bit too sweet; the galbi and the spicy BBQ chicken were the best. You can dip the meats in four different kinds of sauces (fermented bean sauce, soy sauce, spicy sauce, and sesame oil). Their side dishes were all very good. The set also cane with a seafood pancake and kimchi fried rice or plain rice. There was a lot of food for the set. We barely finished everything. Service was very efficient.“

“This place is great. Staff are awesome, food was authentic, and portions large. I would bring my Korean friends here. Def recommend for a comfy, authentic dinner with friends.

Parking: Pretty small lot with a lot of businesses sharing but street parking isn’t bad.“

“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!!“

“The place was very busy, but our server was upbeat, helpful and altogether wonderful. The meats were great (huge prime rib was a good value) and the side condiments and soups were great. I highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: If gluten free, get the un-sauced meats in BBQ and avoid soups. But there will be plenty other food/meat to enjoy.“

“Very delicious Korean food - our go to spot. If you order the noodles, rice, or meat dishes, it can be enough for two people. The stone bowl bibimbap is my favorite here, I order with tofu and vegetables. Many side dishes provided. The Korean bbq meats can be a bit expensive. Like every Korean bbq, you have to order two meat dishes, which can come out to at least $100 bucks. That’s a bit much on my end, but my wife says the meat quality is fantastic. The service is fantastic - the ladies always do a great job here. We keep coming back with friends.“
