This is a hidden gem. Cooking is authentic Korean food. The vibe is nice. A little bit family oldies and little bit fun sports bar. I went with my kids and they had fun. Nice sound system. Decorations you can tell is personal and heartfelt.

I dont know how people find this place to be even decent, other than having incredibly bad taste in food and environment. For starters, the food has great presentation but the price shows where the owner sunk the redesign of this once classic spot into a club vibe for a place with poor taste in design.This place looks and feels dirty, possibly due to the staffing. The bathrooms are not a place that makes you feel like you should have food here either.Do not recommend and will not return. This is a very honest review. Ive had a better experience at dive bars than Ive had here.

Reason for visiting: Thursday night footballDate/time of visit: Thursday, ~6:00 PMParking: in the adjacent lot, free; shared with other businessesParty size: 5Environment/ambience: small sports bar; initially they said they didnt have the game on but figured out they did later, which was odd. A couple TVs, wasnt too crowded.Service: was ok; she came around a few times.Food: was ok; had a few pitchers of Modelo, Pork Hock + Snail, seafood pancake, and chicken wings. The wings tasted good and had good flavor; theyre the big wings, which were good. The seafood pancake was ok, not really crispy (comes with a side of sauce). The pork hock was good; didnt try the snail. The galbi ribs were ok too, nothing specialCost: ~$300 with tip

This place deserves 10 out of 5 stars. The seaweed soup is insane (they are both mine), French fries are awesome, that’s all I’ve tried. Come here all the time for e soup. And the vibe of this place soooo Tarantino and just great! Even though there are only outside seating now

Layla was my Bar Tender. Great recommendations and service. Fun place with great music. She changed the channel to Chargers game and chicken wings were very tasty zangy. She listened to my stories and made customers happy. Thank you.

I hate giving bad reviews, but man, this place ruined our night. We came here for a friend’s birthday, STARVING. In the first 15 minutes no one came up to us. Finally, they asked what we wanted to drink. 10 minutes later we got our water. Another 15 minutes went by and no one came to our table, even though we stared at the bartender and owner the whole time. After this we just got up and left. 45 minutes and no food order was taken. You NEED to hire more workers.

Have you ever been to a place so much it’s kinda weird to review it ?Local bar in the valley. It’s been renovated, much much cleaner. If you been here before the remodel, this floor was stickier than fly trap. Haha.Parking: plenty.Good spot to watch fights and sports game like the dodgers and Lakers.

Came to the door at 1:53 pm after checking Google map for hours. The listing says it is open but when we arrived the owner yelled at us to close the door. Apparently they are not open. The Chihuahua even barked at us. 🥴

The owners daughter Rea came and chatted with me my 1st visit. The bar/server staff were friendly and nice looking. While the alcohol selection is improving it’s a very personable establishment with GOOD music. Definitely recommend for pregaming at the very least depending on your vibe. I felt welcomed, offered the escape I was looking for.

This place as you walk in you can tell is a very special place. Everyone is having a good time, laughing, and just hanging out. We ordered seafood ramen and sister in law loved it. We also ordered garlic fries they were absolutely amazing. We ordered pitchers of beer and just had a good time. Great place with great service.

Walked in sat down at the bar area employees didnt even make eye contact. 5 minutes later got up and left to the bar next door(sugar suite). Cant make money if you dont acknowledge customers.

Amazing place. Quiet, great selection of craft drinks, sake, and shoju. Owner was super kind and brought in extra table for our large group and gave us a free appetizer of fresh pineapple and melon. Only been here once but am definitely coming back!

This was mine and my boyfriends local, when we used to live in the area. Servers were always on their A-game, they greet when you walk into the door and make you feel welcome. The bar offers a good selections of beer from Pale ale to IPA. They also have a menu full of Korean dishes, Combos and deals that you can choose based on the amount of people you have in the group. They honestly have the best Korean chicken wings I’ve ever had. The only thing I would change are the prices on the food menu, some of them are too pricey for a simple dish. But all in all, if you stumble upon this place, it’s worth a try!

Consistency consistency consistency! Everytime I go the food is on point! The spicy wings and the beef short ribs are excellent, the beer is always FRESH and ice cold. Another important thing to point out is that they keep the restaurant very clean, the staff are always friendly and Mr Duke the owner always greets his customers even if he doesnt know you hes still very welcoming. Check them out for sure you wont be disappointed!

Girlfriend and I come here often. Always just a really awesome place to have a really good time. Music is always so nostalgic, food is good, and the alcohol makes it all come together quite nicely. The owner is always so kind. Give this place a try

The gem of this restaurant is the food, without question theres some talent back there getting these Korean dishes spot on. The spicy Korean wings are a must try, no doubt. Always LA sports/ big events on. If the food started to get some more publicity, it could only get even better.

Worst service ever! The bar was full so we had to get a table and we only saw the server twice for the 30-50 minutes we were there. We actually had to flag down the server in order to receive our check! I couldnt imagine the wait for food. The food smelled appetizing but I cant really speak on it since Ive never tried it. The prices and service could be waaaay better! I guess the only reason I didnt give this place one star is because of the location and the beer was good. Honestly wouldnt recommend this place unless you have a ton of time on your hands.

It’s been a while that I’ve experienced low level customer service like this 😒 Fortunately, it wasn’t all bad.When we first walked in, we didn’t get the usual, “hi, how can I help you?” type of greeting. It was more like, them looking at me, then me stating “hi, may we get a table for 6 please?” Answered w/ a nonchalant “sit wherever you want.” (Even though there was a sign that said “please wait to be seated.” 😐)Part of the lower level of cust service was probably because it was just 2 servers running around a little crazy. Bad judgement on mgmt scheduling. YAt one point, I asked both of the servers about one of the menu items, wondering what it was. Both replied along the lines of “IDK”—one just walked off afterward and the other described toe what she thought it might be... um, okay...Onto some of the positive... Spicy wings were great and tasty! They were jumbo wings, not the small tiny ones like one could get at BWW. Garlic fries were tasty, too 🍟All of our entrees pretty much came out singly or by 2–there were 6 of us.I originally ordered the Fish Cake Soup. Came out looking NOTHING like the pic in the menu. Looked like fish cakes were just boiled and thrown into some broth... um... 🤦‍♀️ I did mention that and asked for a diff dish that would be more appetizing or edible-looking.One of the servers (redhead) was nice about it... thank goodness.I ended up ordering Kimchi Stew which I was hoping would turn out okay, was crossing my fingers 🤞 Verdict: it was okay. Looked like something I could have just thrown together in a hurry, definitely not what you would expect when dining out. I was just grateful it was edible and looked decent 😳Definitely wouldn’t ever go back there.

Best kept secret in Granada Hills. Jug Jug, where have you been my whole life. Apparently its been here for over a decade. They serve the best Korean food I have ever had. No joke. I cant wait to go back.

What started from a tradition has become a frequent thing. Jug Jug is still the best sports bar in the san fernando valley. Unlike most bars I have been to, there is no judgement. You come any day and any night, and you just enjoy some good brew and if you are hungry.. some really good korean food. Now, the one snack that is lacking is their tortilla chips and salsa. They were once famous for their salsa, until they stopped giving it out to customers. Why? I dont know. But still worth the trip to come here and mingle with friends. It does get loud during game night and when its a busy night. The music is loud, but bearable. Wish they do karaoke still... I miss their one time karaoke night they had. I took my friends here and they enjoyed jug jug the most which was the karaoke night they had. The owner of this establishment is very friendly and is always out and about. Hes great with the customers! I come here for the Soju Cocktails and the beer. Now the specialty that I also come here for are the fries and the spicy wings. Did I say that right.. oh yes I Did. They have the best sweet and very spicy chicken wings. Wherever I may be with friend eating somewhere else, we always need to get our order of spicy chicken wings at Jug Jug. Usually we will make the trip if we are close by. Thats how great these wings are. Definitely a great place to eat, drink, and enjoy company!!

The Jug Jug is a place to drink in Granada Hills north of Rinaldi. Theres another place in the same shopping center to drink but dont go there unless looking for trouble. The place is owned by this badass named Duke. The bartenders are all strippers the Duke meets during the daytime. Because of this the bartenders are super friendly. My friend goes here every night thinking they all want to bang. I keep telling him the only thing that interests them in his pants is his wallet, but the joke goes over his head. Be careful when they ask if you want a big beer, as the big beer is basicly a 40 with the top cut off and a handle attched to the side. Duke will encourage you to drink it fast then laugh at your feeble attempt. He will then slug the beer in 3 seconds and insult your manhood. You will unsuccessfully try to replicate his method and barf on the Barper (bartender/stripper). Then go home and throw up some more. I recommend the Blogie as its just as good going down as it is coming up.

Very good. We ordered boodae jjigae. They gave all the banchan again. The service was good. I also liked the very traditional style of interior too. I would like to try something else too.

This place has some good food and they also sell pitchers of beer so it makes a decent place to watch the game. The food is a little expensive for how much you get and thats why I dont go here all the time.
