Reviews for Restaurant Chungdam in Santa Clara, CA

My family went here and we booked a room for us. The food looked a little bit expensive and it is worth it. The amount of food... and meat that came out was a lot. It was big portions not just one or two slices. The quality was also good too. The service wasamazing. Read more

Food was delicious, and meat was tender, but I don't think the price is worth it. It came out to $60 a person for four of us,... and no one was really full at the end. I normally don't have a problem spending that much on a dinner, but this one just didn'tseem worth it. We had the lightly marinaded shortribs, the black pork belly, cold noodles, and bibimbap. We should have orderedone more dish, but I would've expected 4 dishes for 4 people to be enough. Maybe I'm too used to LA kbbq, but I would ratherjust wait for the Baekjeong to open at Valley Fair, and pay for a little lower in quality but actually end up full. Would havegiven it 4 stars but it felt like they were cheaping out on some things, when we are already paying a high price for our food.The menu said if we ordered two meat dishes, we would get lettuce wraps and stew for free with it, but they didn't bring it outwith our meats, so I had to ask the server about it. And even then, they only brought out the lettuce wraps. It was only afterwe had finished all of our other food and I asked again about the stew that they brought it out. The servers were really nicethough, and constantly refilled our water and tea, which is why I felt bad asking so many times about the other dishes. They'relunch menu looks more worth it, so I'd like to give them another try. Read more

Came here on a Sunday night around 7:30pm before they close at 8:30pm. Regular seating was available but we wanted the bbq... experience so we had to wait 30 minutes before being seated. There?s a large parking lot next to the motel 6 where you can park,which was also convenient. We opted in for the brisket ($62), black pork belly ($52), and the hot stone bibimbap ($22). Theworkers cook the meat for you here, and serve you which is nice. However, I didn?t think this location was worth the prices theyare charging for. The prime ribs were priced at $95, too. The food was good and filling but I could get more for a better priceelsewhere. Also, because we were there near closing time, we felt rushed to eat our meal. We were given the check during ourmeal and needed my husband to sign it asap versus waiting until we finished. Overall, ok experience but will not be returning. Read more

High quality cuts of beef cooked table side by the server. With an advanced reservation, we were able to use a private room for... our party of 8. Prices were definitely on the high side but portions are good and the Banchan was delicious. Good amounts ofseafood options as well since we had an epesceterian. Read more

We were looking for a legit KBBQ place that wasn't AYCE up here in NorCal. Our search has been diligent but disappointing so... far... until now, thanks to Chungdam. My wife and I shared 1 order of Prime Short Ribs and 1 order of Lightly Marinated ShortRibs. We also ordered some pork belly and kimchi fried rice. The meat quality was out of this world. The prime ribs wereperfectly marbled and had that buttery-rich flavor only possible from high quality meat. Just salt was enough seasoning toaccompany this dish. The lightly marinated ribs were great as well. It had a light lingering sweetness to the taste, so I'm surethe ladies will enjoy the palette. The pork belly and kimchi fried rice were excellent as well and overall rounded out to asatisfying and delicious meal. Also, a quick shoutout to Su Jin who grilled our meat for us. The grilling can make or break aKBBQ experience, and she was clearly a master at her craft. The ambiance is on the upscale side, so it'd be fantastic for anice meal out with the family or with your date. I think this place is actually a level better than high-end KBBQ places down inSocal like Soowon Galbi and Chosun Galbi, which is surprising but I'm not complaining! I highly recommend everyone check outthis spot at least once. Read more

Prices are on the high side but definitely worths it. The short ribs and the seafood pancake are the best i have had. Service... was great if you like the meat to be cooked and served to you. Read more

Although some of the items we originally wanted was sold out, we still enjoyed a delicious experience. Service was in top,... servers were so prompt and fast! We did wait around half an hour during the late lunch rush on a weekend, but it was well worththe wait. Food and atmosphere altogether was amazing. I do appreciate that the restaurant offered a lunch menu along with theirregular menu. Would return here in the future, so good. Read more

This Restaurant looks really nice, a clean dining restaurant, it?s not your common grilling restaurant, waiters wait on you... every 15 minutes, they make sure you are okey, they cook your meats and cut them for you. One of the best thing was we didn?tend up smelling like bbq at the end of the meal. We hade beef bone soup, cold soup and bbq ribs, plus the sides. This was morethan enough for a person that loves food, their soup was so tasty I was blown away, or was I just so hungry either way I lovedit. It was a small birthday dinner for just the party of two and it was good. Thank you for your kindness in serving us. We?llvisit again. Read more
