Jang Su Korean

This is my third time here, but first time reviewing. They have a good variety of side dishes. The surprise was they weren't salty, which sometimes they can be. No complaints on food portions! My group ordered seafood tofu soup, yangnyeom chicken with sauce on the side and bulgogi. The tofu soup was hot. We asked for spicy but not spicy enough - maybe extra spicy would be better. There was plenty of shrimp and muscles. Glad they don't skimp out in the ingredients.Fried chicken was fresh. Came out last to the table but completely understandable. The chicken wings were large, crispy, and piping hot. No matter where I go, I always ask for the sauce on the side to control the flavor each bite. Glad they were able to accommodate. The bulgogi was a large serving! Melt in your mouth, tender. With the mix of the side dishes and other food we had leftovers. Sometimes I wonder why I go to an AYCE spot when I'm full even with just these 3 dishes, will for under $65.I'll be back!

Hubs and I have been wanting to give this place a try and to our surprise they were opened Christmas Day! The space is fairly big and I believe their cooks are Korean so the food is authentic. 23 ordered their seafood pancakes, dolsot bimbimbap with pork and galbi. Seafood pancake - very crispy and packed with seafood! I wish there was more green onion though. It's also a much smaller portion than other Korean restaurants in the area.Dolsot - such a fun experience! We usually make this at home so we've never experience being served in the clay pot, but I was a little disappointed that the pot wasn't hot enough to scorch the rice and most of the toppings weren't even luke warm. It was a great portion to split though. Galbi - delicious! The marinade was very tasty and the meat was caramelized. Service was quick and attentive. We throughly enjoyed our meal with a glass of Terra and a bottle of soju. It was a nice Christmas dinner. I'd love to come back and try a few other menu items.

Our group of four enjoyed a pleasant lunch here. Service was quite attentive (though at the time, there were few other occupied tables), and very friendly. I had Yukagejang just as I had last time, so nothing new to say about that. But the dine-in banchan is vastly different from the takeout we received last time. There were 10 different dishes (double the 5 for takeout). The initial quantity of each banchan dish was very small for four people, but during the meal, we were asked if we wanted more of any of the dishes. Also different from takeout was we were each offered complimentary Barley tea (which was delicious).My husband ordered mushroom soon tofu (sundubu), medium spicy. He said the spice level was just right for him (not too spicy, but with enough kick to make it interesting). The broth was delicious, he just wished for a better variety and/or quantity of mushrooms. The tofu was pretty plentiful, and nice and soft (but held together well).Another in our party had a vegetarian bibimbap (tofu in place of beef). She wished they had brown or mixed rice instead of white, but still enjoyed the dish. Prices are around the same as most other Korean restaurants in our area. Overall, a very nice experience.

Jang Su Restaurant is hands down the best Korean food we've had in Sacramento! The flavors were absolutely delicious and so satisfying. We ordered the **Mandu Gobchang Jeongol (hot pot)**, which was packed with dumplings, intestines, and tripe. It wasn't overly spicy and came in a generous portion--definitely worth the $50. We also tried the **Maeurn Galbi Jjim**, which was another standout dish. The portion size was very generous, and the flavor was rich and bold, also for $50. Along with the dishes, they provided 4 bowls of rice and a variety of banchan (side dishes), which complemented the meal perfectly. The service was just as impressive as the food. Our waitress was attentive, frequently checking in on us and even helping us pack up leftovers. The atmosphere was spacious and peaceful, making it a perfect spot for an enjoyable meal. We're so glad we found this place--it's now one of our favorite restaurants in Sacramento. Can't wait to return!

I really wanted Korean food and happened to get our fix right here on thanksgiving day! Customer service was nice and our food came out piping hot . I loved my order of the dolsot bibimbap and I'll definitely be back . If you're craving authentic Korean food and just need a fix , I highly recommend you check this place out !

Cute mom and pop Korean restaurant tucked in the outskirts of Sacramento. I say outskirts of sac because it's in between Folsom and sac. Perfect spot to go to right after a day in the slopes. Ordered the seafood hand pulled noodles and the galbi Jim. Everything was delicious including the banchan sides. The seafood noodle soup was a little bland but we didn't mind it. It tasted homey and accompanied the meat perfectly. The galbi jjim was a highlight. It came with potatoes, mushroom, carrots and onions. Perfectly spicy perfectly sweet.We arrived around 6:30pm on a Saturday. The restaurant is pretty big and likely no wait. There were a handful of other parties dining in and a couple of to go orders. Easy to hop back on the highway back to the bay. 10/10 recommend and excited to come back to try their Korean fried chicken.

Became a fan of this place when they first opened.They have a great variety of banchan, and service is always friendly/prompt.Their pork arugula salad is our favorite.Definitely our favorite Korean restaurant in the area.

Stopped by on a Tuesday evening and it was empty. Service was good. I was not impressed with the tofu soup (Mushroom Soon Tofu), but I enjoyed the other items: Dolsot Bibimbap, Mandoo, Yangnyeom Chicken, Japchae, TongSamGyub Salad and L.A. Galbi. Of these, my favorites were the Mandoo and Yangnyeom Chicken. The Mandoo was huge! Side dishes were good as well. I'd return! (I'd just skip the tofu soup in the future.)

10/02/24Happy Wednesday Yelp fam! Been catching up on my Korean dramas...and starved craving Korean food! I remembered having some really good great Kalguksu in SoCal and I was wondering if we had any in the area...and ended up finding this hidden gem on Yelp! We made the 30 min trek out to satisfy my noodle craving. While on the way, I had the option of getting on a Yelp waitlist or making reservations through Yelp. 6:45 part of 4 it is.They are in a shopping plaza so parking was fairly easy. We arrived on time and were seated right away. The pictures at the front of the establishment and on the walls and menu makes everything look delish! We grabbed some corn cheese to start, Kim chi fried rice as kids love mixing in the two together. The corn cheese was so good, we ordered a 2nd serving!Ban Chan spread was so colorful. A few of these side dishes were more on the pickled side than I would liked. Oldest son picked the daeji bulgogi (spicy marinated thin slice pork) as his usual go to. It did not disappoint. Youngest ordered the Seafood Soon Tofu (mild) as his usual go to and he really liked it.Hubs and I shared the Yukgaejang Kalguksu (spicy beef noodle soup) . The Noodle texture and medium spice was on point! I was a tad bummed they only had a seafood option and spicy beef option and was hoping for a chicken option. The bowl is also huge! My kids joined in on this dish and we all agreed that the noodle texture was superb. The vibe is very mom and pop shop. Seems very homie and a few tables are older asian couples dining. We would come back for the sweet toasted corn cheese and Kalguksu noodles on a cold winter night which is soon upon us. Everything else was as expected and can be order d at other Korean establishments. Is it just me who crave Korean food when watching kdramas?!? *insert facepalm*I have to stop watching these Korean dramas. LOL..Ahhh....maybe later. Gotta go finish an episode now :)

As someone who absolutely loves Korean food, I'm annoyed with myself for not knowing how many delicious places there are in Sacramento. Granted, it's based on the very small sample size of a half dozen spots or so, but the vast majority of them have been awesome! Yet, at the same time, you could argue it's not the worst thing either. After all, if I had even known about just one of these joints ahead of time, there's a non-zero chance I wouldn't have bothered exploring what else !'ve been missing out on!Since both of our visits to Jang Su were to grab a semi-late lunch, I can't speak to what the typical wait is like during peak hours. However, while I wouldn't be shocked if there usually is a line, I can't imagine it being very long, given how they have a bunch of tables that can accommodate groups large or small. Similarly, the menu is equally as expansive, as there's a ton of enticing offerings to choose from. Across their entire slate of appetizers, BBQ meats, tofu soups, bibimbaps, soups/noodle soups, jeongols, and house specialties are dishes that range from the traditional to the more unique.-- BANCHANNothing overwhelmingly stood out (not that they ever need to), but nothing was a miss either. Personally, I thought the japchae and kkakdugi (radish kimchi were best) while my gf liked the broccoli and bean sprouts the most.-- GANJANG CHICKEN - Soy Sauce Chicken Wings...$18.99Part of me wonders if the regular fried chicken was the way to go (just looks so good), but this was still great! The batter was thick (but not too thick) with a decent crunch and the chicken itself was juicy. What's more, I really liked how the sauce/glaze wasn't too sweet nor too gloppy.-- YOOKGEJANG KALGUKSOO - Hand Cut Noodle Soup with Spicy Beef...$19.99Not that I thought this would be small, but this was way larger than I thought it'd be! The soup itself packed a delicious punch with just a touch of heat, the noodles had a very nice bite to them, and there was a good ratio of shredded beef to the mix of vegetables they dropped in. Yum!-- HAEMUL KALGUKSOO - Hand Cut Noodle Soup with Seafood...$19.99Compared to the Yookgejang, this felt a lot lighter, but no less tasty. The noodles were just as good, the broth had a nice seafood flavor that wasn't too salty, and the seafood itself was great! Plus, even though they didn't add a lot of flavor to the broth, I liked texture the strips of egg added.-- HAEMUL PAJEON - Seafood Pancake...$18.99Not too shabby, but more solid than spectacular. The portion was pretty fair and the pancake was full of green onions and chunks of seafood. However, the texture was uneven - the edges were crispy (yay), portions were nearly burnt, and the inside of the pancake was a bit loose and soft (boo).-- GALBITANG - Beef Rib Soup...$23.99Not bad, but not as good as my favorite over at Modurang. The chunks of beef were big, tender and meaty, and the portion overall was generous, but the soup fell a little short for me (a little thin and the taste wasn't super beefy/flavorful.-- BUDAE JJIGAE - Spicy Stew with Kimchi, Ramen, Spam, Sausage, Cheese, Mushrooms, and Tofu...$18.99Love that they have an individual portion of this! While the taste of the soup wasn't very strong, I loved how loaded this was! There was a good amount of SPAM, bacon, and tofu, which were all huge chunks. This may not be the best version I've had, but it was definitely one of the most fillingDespite how not everything we had hit the mark perfectly, the thing that undeniably did was the service. Throughout both of our visits, the women that work were ridiculously sweet and kind. They happily offered suggestions on what to get, checked on us often, and even proactively refilled some of our banchan dishes. What's more, they even stopped to chat with us at times, which was really cute.Given how awesome the service is, a large part of me wanted to round up from FOUR AND A HALF STARS, especially after my first visit here, but I ultimately decided to round down after the second (though, it was painfully close). That being said, it wasn't due to anything being "bad". Rather, as much as we thoroughly enjoyed what we had, none of the dishes specifically blew us away. Not that it would stop me from wanting to come back; regardless of rounding, it's just a matter of when I come back to try more of the menu, especially their galbijjim, yugsu bulgogi, and their BBQ meats!
