Really awful customer service. The tall Korean lady with permed hair was extremely rude, condescending, and talked to us like we were primary students doing something wrong the whole time.

Hidden gem for Korean food. There's always a wait because the food is so good.

A restaurant that stays true to the original taste of these old dishes. I’ve been disappointed by a handful of other well known Korean restaurants on El Camino as they’ve been making their dishes way too sweet to make it more palatable for the masses. I’ll probably come back here often whenever I come back to SJ. I got soondae gopchang guk and jjokbal :)

Black goat stew slaps and the environment is very home like. Im glad i don't have to drive down to LA for the black goat stew because this place is just as delicious.

One of a few options that I can choose when I'd like to have hot soup in San Jose.

I’ve been coming here for over 10 years. The food was never amazing, but since there aren’t many places around that serve soondae, I used to stop by every now and then. After COVID though, I’ve been really disappointed. I understood the price increases during the pandemic since everything was going up, but they’ve continued raising prices little by little every few months. Honestly, I’m not sure if I’ll be coming here as often as I used to

The menu didn’t specify that the pork bulgogi and doenjang jjigae was spicy. We ordered it thinking it wouldn’t be, and when it came, we told the waiter there was a misunderstanding. She was very short on patience and just apologized before walking away without waiting for a reply. The restaurant was not busy, only two other parties besides us, so I don’t know why she just walked away without listening. We told her we can’t eat spicy foods, and the next dish also came out spicy. Now we have two dishes we cannot eat, and the restaurant did not provide alternatives or suggestions. I am not happy with the service and lack of clarity on the menu. I had high hopes for this restaurant, the food looked amazing from the photos.

Catfished by the pork feet on the menu lol. The soup and the noodles were really delicious tho.
Update: I had very bad stomach issues. I'm assuming it was from the raw oysters. Probably not fresh. Pass on the Bosam!
The food tasted like I was back in Korea.

Ladies work there are super nice. Food tasted overly sweet and not savory enough. We got dak galbi and bossam - bossam was decent but dak galbi was really bad. Side dishes are just ok. Wouldn’t go back or recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Sorry but the food quality is really off…The shrimp and crab tastes like they’ve been frozen for a thousand years… ended up spending $90 for 2 with only ordering smaller dishes. The flavor is ok, but the food quality is definitely not ok with this price.

Jang Tu is my favorite Korean restaurant! The service is attentive, and they offer delicious, traditional Korean soups. Don’t miss their kimchi fried rice—it’s a must-try!
