I think this place used to be called Top Chef. Still the same people. If you want Kbbq style this is the best place around all of Simi and surrounding areas!! Definitely must try!

Food is good, service is very poor. The manager is rude, and treats you horrible when attempting any communication. I felt horrible for even trying to order food. If you come here with a child, be very clear at the start how much they will charge, they will say different things than the writing on their own menu or walls.

The food at this Korean BBQ in Simi Valley is actually pretty good. The meats have good flavor, the sides are solid and overall the place has the potential to be one of the better Korean BBQ spots in the Simi Valley area. I came in expecting a great dinner with my family, and from a food standpoint, it started out that way.
Unfortunately, the service from one staff member completely ruined the experience. There is an Asian lady who seems to get irritated the moment you ask for anything… Whether it’s more meat, grill change or even a simple question about the menu. Every time you need something, she would run away annd avoid the table or act visibly annoyed. Ordering more meat felt like we were inconveniencing her and she made it clear she didn’t want to change the grill plate or deal with anything that added to her workload.
It got to the point where we were trying to avoid asking for anything just so we wouldn’t have to deal with her attitude. That’s not how dinner with your family should go, especially at a place where service is such a big part of the experience. Her behavior took away from an otherwise good meal and left us frustrated instead of enjoying our night.
Overall, the food is good, but the service from her overshadowed it all. I hope management addresses it, because no restaurant can survive long if customers feel unwelcome. I wouldn’t recommend coming here unless the service improves.
PS - If you do decide to come here… AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS!!

I came here last night with my family and the service was disappointing. The restaurant was 25% full, yet the staff kept forgetting to bring our plates and meats. Toward the middle of our meal, they stopped checking on us turned our grill off because they saw it was burning then brought us the check. We told them we were still waiting on our last order of meats. When it was time to pay the bill, they charged me $13 over what the initial check said. The voided the initial charge and made it right. Mind you, the service charge was already included for my group of 6. I walked over to them to fix it, and they apologized saying they got my bill mixed up with another table, though nobody else had a party of 6. Support small businesses, just don't get taken advantage of in the process.

Visited Surajang for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We ordered bulgogi, beef brisket and beef short rib. All the meets were delicious and perfectly seasoned. The sides and apps were all fantastic especially the Korean pancakes. Service was pretty great. Well attended to and the grill was changed between orders. Everything was very clean. Would definitely recommend and go back again. A surprisingly delightful restaurant in the corner.

Food was mid at best and the worst part was the service. They didn’t explain it clearly that the whole table can order only 3 items at a time. There were 5 of us there and all 5 of us had the same understanding. Service was very very slow. There was a button for us to use to call the server and we pressed it 3 times in a span of 10 minutes and no one came up to help us. Worst Korean bbq place I’ve ever been to. Servers were also rude and were rushing us.

Food was good, the service was bad 👎 they charged my husband and I 18% gratuity even though it clearly says on their menu 18% gratuity applied for parties of 6 or more. We spent over $100, and we usually tip, but it's hard to when you have dishonest people.
Worst customer service. They rush you in everything.
Great food. Make sure you eat all you order cause a whole ribeye my friend ordered they put in the trash cause we were too full to finish. I hate waste..
