Reviews for JiuJiu Korean & BBQ in Sacramento, CA
We came here for the kbbq kebabs experience. When we walked in we were given a choice to choose between them cooking the sticks... for us or we do it ourselves. If you plan to cook the kebabs yourself, we were told 20 sticks minimum, which is 4 orders ofkebabs and most orders come with 5 sticks in one order. So keep this in mind. . We ordered kimchi pancake, boiled dumplings,galbi, and 5 orders of kebabs, 2 bowls of rice. Which came out to 132. . Kimchi pancake was our least favorite. The color wasorange and red. The flavor was bland. It came with a dipping sauce but it was still ehh... . Boiled dumplings was our favorite.We loved the flavor. The sauce it came with to dip was nothing special, thank goodness my friends are extra like me, made theirown chili sauce to dip in. In one order comes with a dozen. . We ordered 5 orders. 2 chicken gizzard, one chicken heart, onebeef kebab, one pork belly wrapped enoki mushrooms. -most of them didn't really stood out. It was just meh. My friend had betterin the bay area at Stix. Each order was not cheap, it was an average of 13 to 15 bucks for 5 skewers with whatever youorder. . Galbi , aka beef short ribs, this was tender. Barely had to chew and the beef was easy to gulp down. The flavor wasgood. It was $30 which is kind of pricey but I guess it's an average price now days. . Bonchons, we had the kimchi, friends saysthey like yd better. The beansprouts they gave us one time and it was my friends favorite. The pickled daikon and jalapeño wasgreat. The shredded pickled daikon was good to refresh the tastebuds. . Overall it was just ok. Skewers were just ok nothingspecial for the flavor and taste. The experience was fun and different. I don't think it was too memorable, or like a cravingfor this experience. We were seated in the back. The service was medium, not slow or fast. The items on the menu is definitelyon the pricey side. Not sure if it's good value for the food we got. I feel like there are too many korean sp Read more
Wow what a good meal. We had 4 people with us we ordered the all you can eat BBQ it was sooooo good.
What a gem in this neighborhood. My friends and I came after 10pm and the parking lot looked a little sketch but the restaurant... was well lit. We sat down and the waitress told us that in order to grill the skewers ourselves we have to order at least 20skewers. We decided on the beef, chicken hearts, prawns, pork belly with mushrooms and some fish tofu skewers. The meats cookedreally fast and the owner came to our table a few times to check up on us and to show us some techniques. Man, the marinade onthe skewers were so good! Totally different from most ayce bbq places. The dry dipping sauce that came with it was fire. We camefor the experience and will definitely come back for more! Read more
Great night out, server was a young lady who whipped around, very attentive, and kind! They even let us add the spicy sauce to... the beef bulgogi which was by far my favorite! I was surprised by how kid friendly they seem, definitely will come with my childin the future. Read more
I like tripas and had my share of tripas prepared different ways, but this one was an acquired taste. The beef intestines were... grilled to perfection on that little sizzling platter and it was nice and tender (the banchan were great) but the "gop" ingopchang was.... a little off putting. I didnt think it was savory as some of the mukbangers described it on youtube. It tastedlike dirt and somewhat gritty so i am guessing it is the processed feed , grass and dirt that the cow digested. Also, there is ahint of soap taste so not quite sure if it was washed with soap as well. Lol anyway, just a fair warning if you haven't had itprepared yet korean style. 4 star overall including the hospitality of the workers! Read more
The atmosphere is nice, and the price per person is even better. They have only one price option (for adults I believe) and it's... around $40 per person. The meats come with a decent variety. They have the staples like marbled brisket, pork belly, galbi, andbulgogi as well as butter shrimp and marinated baby octopus. But what made this place stand out is their appetizer selection:they have cold noodles! The corn cheese was is strong on the mayonnaise taste. The fried dumplings are delicious. The staff arevery friendly and accommodating. Read more
