The Tangsuyuk was okay — nothing special, but at least there was no unpleasant pork smell, which is a good sign. The portion was generous. I paid $0.50 for a to-go box and packed the leftovers, and they still tasted okay when I had them at home.
The Jjamppong, however, was disappointing. It looked great with plenty of seafood on top, but the taste didn’t live up to its appearance. The broth was bland — like it was missing seasoning or depth. The seafood didn’t seem very fresh, though I’ll give credit for the portion size, which was much better than what you’d get at Bukkyung Banjeom. The noodles felt like pre-packaged ones that didn’t match the dish at all — though maybe that’s expected at this price point in the SF Bay Area.
Not sure if I’d return. As others mentioned, it does feel like the owner or chef might have changed.

The food quality has significantly declined — the Jjajangmyeon, Jjamppong, Tangsuyuk, and Jap-tangbap all tasted completely different from what I remember, and not in a good way. I was genuinely surprised by how much the flavors had changed. On top of that, the staff were quite unfriendly, even when we simply asked for an extra plate. None of us enjoyed our meals, and most of the food was left untouched. Sadly, I won’t be returning.

How to eat jjamja noodles (half Jjamppong, half Jajangmyeon) in San Jose-- order veggie Jajangmyeon and a small bowl of Jjamppong soup on the side. Since the noodles are served separately, you can dip them in the jjamppong soup. The side soup is smaller portion but contains squid, shrimp, and vegetables.Bon Appetit!

Inside Kyo Po supermarket. Jajangmen was a bit bland and potatoes were cut too big and not much meat. Would like to try their spicy seafood noodle soup next time. I prefer Beijing jajangmen close by.

(Translated by Google) Overall, everything is okay, especially the tray jjajang and jjambbong are very delicious. The fry kitchen closes at 6:20 PM.(Original)전반적으로 다 괜찮고 특히 쟁반짜장, 짬뽕 아주 맛있습니다. 오후 6:20부터 튀김류 주방 마감입니다.

ZZ Noodles is inside the Super Kyo-Po Korean supermarket. We love to get their #2 (spicy seafood noodle) and #6 (pan-fried noodles with vegetables & seafood with spicy sauce) which has a fairly big portion size. Note that if you cannot stand very spicy food, you might want to request for mild spiciness.

They have really good jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle). And you can grab Korean ice cream from Kyopo after ?
Ordered Jjamppong and Tangsuyuk.
The Tangsuyuk was okay — nothing special, but at least there was no unpleasant pork smell, which is a good sign. The portion was generous. I paid $0.50 for a to-go box and packed the leftovers, and they still tasted okay when I had them at home.
