Restaurant Chungdam in Santa Clara

Great authentic Korean BBQ experience. The meat was great quality, especially the beef, and it was perfectly cooked. For the most part, the staff do everything in terms of bringing the meat, putting it on the grill, turning it, and cutting and putting it on one side when ready. I would have appreciated a larger selection of soft drinks and desserts.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. We were 4 people and ordered the barbecue platter b and two soups, it was enough for 4 people.The cuts of the meat were really great and everything tasted delicious. We will definitely come back.Parking can be a little bit tricky.

All in all I found it to be a very decent Korean BBQ spot. It is on the higher priced side, and the food is tasty.We ordered the Chungdam BBQ platter for $199, which came with 5 different types of BBQ meat, vegetables, and rice cakes.It was slightly too much for 2 people, but a great dish to try all of their signature BBQ dishes. I really liked the marinaded short ribs a lot.The server cooked it all for us which was really nice to not have to manage the grill. She also was very attentive and gave us a lot of extra banchan when I asked for a bit more of the kimchi, tofu, and seaweed salad.I recommend this spot if youre in the mood for fancy KBBQ.

Generally overpriced and not very recommend. With this price, you could get higher quality of meat and service in other Korean BBQ restaurants.We ordered Chungdam BBQ Platter combo. Its mostly different kinds of short ribs and ribeye steak. The taste was okay, but not very worth the price.We arrived at the opening time for weekend lunch and there is no wait.

The atmosphere and service are excellent! Everything looks very clean. They even have a bottle of hand sanitizer on each table. A cup of complimentary plum juice is served at the end of the meal!

Overall food was a solid 4 stars and the ambience and service was also nice. The beef quality was good but maybe slightly more overpriced than expected. To compare, at this price we would get a much more premium experience at a place like 10 butchers.What made me ultimately downgrade my review to 3 stars was a particular uncomfortable experience. We came in a group of 4 and in addition to ordering meat, we wanted to split 2 orders of cold noodles amongst ourselves. Our server suggested that we can instead order 4 half orders of the noodles, it would cost $2 more in total but we’d each have our own bowls and the portions are slightly larger. We said yes to that but were later brought 4 full sized noodles. They were untouched so we wanted to give it back but the server mentioned that he’ll take care of it for us. He later came back and said that we would “only” be charged for 3 of the 4 bowls and we can take the rest out of his tip. This left a pretty bad feeling with us, given that it was a nice restaurant and it was not our mistake, we thought there would be a resolution that doesn’t involve making us take away a server’s tip (he was overall pretty good).

Came on a Tuesday at 6pm - no wait.Got the short ribs and pan fried squid. The ribs are always good, but I would not get the squid agai. Its nothing special.Stick to the bbq items.Service was good, probably because it wasnt crowded. Around 7pm, it was busier, and I could smell another tables meat getting burnt.

We ordered the lightly marinated short ribs and pork belly. The quality of the meat is good, but I am not used to the sugary taste of short ribs.

Food, service, and atmosphere was all great! Loved all of the dishes I got, but I particularly liked the beef tartare bibimbap! Would definitely recommend this restaurant ❤️
