10 Butchers Korean BBQ

The food is good as others commented, but one part of the service was strange. I went with 3 of my relatives for a Sunday lunch. We haven't seen each other for 4 month so we ate and talked for a relative long time (close to 2 hours). We noticed that there are empty tables so we didn't leave when our chat was not finished. However, one server came and actually pointed out that we had dinned for 2 hours and it was our time to leave. I mean, if there was a line of people waiting, we would definitely leave for other people to fill in, but there was not a line. This is rude for a high end restaurant. Not considering coming back.

Best kbbq I’ve ever tried

We were very disappointed with our experience at your restaurant. We had reserved a table for five, but when three of us arrived we were told we could not be seated until everyone was present. After waiting for an hour, we noticed other parties being seated even though their groups were not complete. Frustrated and feeling treated unfairly, we decided to leave. In addition, the behavior of the front desk short lady left a very negative impression on us.

The food at the restaurant was just average, and the prices were on the high side. $80 per person, drink is not included. The staff were friendly and the service was good. The premises were clean and modern. However, the server stood by our table and grilled the food most of the time. Personally, I prefer to grill the food ourselves without a stranger standing nearby, so we can talk freely during family and friend gatherings.

Excellent food, had all you expect from a Korean BBQ place.

Amazing steak, several great little side dishes!

The service was just ok, they will rush you through drinks, food dessert to make dinner ready for next guests.

This place is a must try. We got the beef tartar and bossom. The beef tartar was super good. We ordered rib fingers, pork jowl, and beef tongue for the bbq. The beef tongue is some of the best I've had. We also ordered cold noodle and noodle soup. Both were excellent and good portion. They have great service and cooks the food for you. Very attentive. Price is on the higher end tho!

Fantastic Korean bbq in Sunnyvale area. Loved the food. Only recommendation is to allow the grill to be used with one order instead of minimum 2

Very nice Korean spot. I had brisket with 17 dishes of I don't know...most were good, some weren't my favorite. My table had steak, bulgoki, and pork belly. I tried it all and was pleased. I'd recommend this place for sure.
The Old Fashioned here was awesome!

The food was pretty good. Steaks were tasty and so were the side dishes. Definitely a family treat as it’s a whole process and they cook on the grill in front of you.

It's funny because as you approach from the parking lot, it doesn't look that special. As soon as you walk in, you realise it's a place pretty serious about food. When you experience the meat that's being cooked here, you'll know why this is FIVE STARS IN EVERY RESPECT

Great selection of banchan and good quality meats. I recommend reservation, otherwise expect a wait even on a weekday evening.

Last weekend, I invited my girlfriend--who's half Korean and had just spent a month in Seoul--to check out this restaurant with me. I'd never been before, but I'd heard from others that the meat quality was excellent.

Making a reservation was a bit tricky. You can't simply pick a time online--you have to fill out your name, contact information, party size, date, and preferred time, then wait for them to confirm or deny your request. I asked for 12:15 for two, but they accepted us at 12:30. It's an unusual system that might help them manage tables efficiently, but it's a bit of a hassle for customers.

When we arrived, the restaurant was moderately busy--not packed--and the noise level was comfortable. The vibe is modern, simple, and clean. I'd visited Chungdam a couple of months earlier and found their atmosphere more upscale, though the meat quality at both places is comparable. The premium galbi here might be about $5-$10 less.

We ordered the tofu soup and seafood pancake to start. My friend said the pancake reminded her of a quiche--it was thicker than she preferred, and I agreed. The seafood tofu soup, however, was delicious, and the banchan that came with the meal was all very good. That said, I still prefer Chungdam's banchan flavors and offerings more--they tasted more authentic similar to those in Seoul.

We also ordered lettuce wraps for our meat (an additional charge) and settled on the galbi and pork belly. Both were delicious. Overall, the food was solid, but it was the company that made the experience great. We didn't try any of the drinks because my friend doesn't drink alcohol.

Our server was very attentive--grilling and cutting our meats, pouring the tofu soup, and plating the seafood pancake for us individually. That level of service isn't always standard at other Korean BBQ spots, and the price reflects that extra care.

Parking was easy at lunchtime, with free lot parking and available street spaces. I can imagine it being more difficult at dinner, but we may have just gotten lucky.

Probably the best quality Korean BBQ in the Bay Area — and the price reflects it. The side dishes were fresh and excellently prepared. The dining hall can get quite noisy, so it’s not ideal for serious business meetings, but perfect for celebrations and lively gatherings.
