This was my first time visiting this place. The seating area is spacious. I came in in early dinner and luckily it was not busy yet. Best jja jang myun in sacramento. The jja jang myun had that perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet, with chewy noodles and for me the sauce was lighter than other places I’ve been too.
Service was quick and friendly , and everything. Came out hot and fresh. The place is clean casual and definitely worth stopping by if you are craving solid Korean Chinese comfort dishes.

In a nutshell; Almost feels like a hole-in-a wall korean bbq spot, huge portions from the get go, excellently marinated, great sides. Great service.
I dont often review buffets or eat all you can establishments, but I’d have to make an exemption for this place. Tucked in the corner of a kinda sketchy location, there are a good amount of parking around but does kinda seem sketchy at night especially if there are homeless folks around BUT look pass that and youre in for a great treat. It is a bit pricier than the more known kbbq franchised places around, but the quality certainly matches. Theres a decent amount of meat/protein choices to choose from , good amount of sides, and they really aim to fill one up from the 1st round of orders as it is plentiful. Server quite often also checked in and accommodated whatever it was you need. Overall awesome place, will swing by again if ever in the area.

This place is a gem of a hole in the wall. I hate it when people say they don’t wanna tell people about businesses they love cause they don’t want them to become popular but honestly, I almost feel that way here. It was quiet- the ambiance isn’t the club vibe of Gen in Arden, they don’t have the cute kitty robots from Blue House or the impressive koi pond at Oz. BUT I like that! The restaurant is tucked in corner of a parking lot off of Folsom. It’s simple decor but it’s kinda refreshing in a way. The staff is sooooo friendly!! I heard the hostess having genuine conversation with every table, including ours, asking for feedback, where the customers were from, etc. It feels so welcoming, like they want you there and are happy to see you. And of course: the food. It is soooo yummy. Everything is amazing quality- with *very* generous portions served. My party was not expecting so much at once and ordered almost too much to finish. Their sides and appetizers are also excellent quality. The price, especially for the variety of items is great! Many of the other kbbq restaurants paywall the “high value” items by charging more for an extended menu. This was a flat 40 dollars for ayce dinner, I believe the lunch menu is 25. That is amazing! Everything from the prime rib steak to the chicken dishes is included in the base price. That is so awesome. Honestly this place is 1000000% the best kbbq in the Sac area as far as I am concerned. I think they all have their own strengths but considering price, quality, variety and the relaxed/friendly environment- this place can not be beat. Hiiiiighly recommend!

This was our second time at JJ’s and it did not disappoint.
The first time we visited we did the Lunch AYCE and thought everything was delicious!!! The sides, the quality of meat?? Perfection! AND we thought it was a steal for $25/person because of how much food you get and everything was just really good.
Now tonight was different… We did the single BBQ option and had pork belly as the only meat it came with BUT it had so much more sides like corn cheese and steamed egg which were also best part? All for $36+ tax and tip. We went home very full and very happy with our decision to visit again.
Service was great on both times too! They were very attentive. Will be back to bring friends with us.
The only con was their tofu soup, it was bland but I wouldn’t let that take away from all the good stuff

I ordered from the all-you-can-eat menu, but even though I hadn’t eaten enough, they took away my menu board. I wanted to avoid wasting food, so I asked for smaller portions, but they refused. I’ve been to many buffet restaurants, but I’ve never experienced service like this. They mostly use frozen meat. When the previous owner ran the place, both the service and the quality of the meat were excellent, but now it’s very disappointing.

I really enjoyed my dinner here. I ordered Pork Belly with Kimchi and bean sprouts. The meat are so fresh. I also ordered spicy numbing beef noodle, and I love it so much. Servers are all kind. I’m looking forward to visiting again to try the other items on the menu.

The best KBBQ in sac that I’ve had. They hit the mark on almost everything only I can “complain about ” is they lack side dishes but I’m not mad after everything I eat I didn’t miss them only made a note when they brought them out after that I was in food nirvana. The staff was very kind and fast. I’m so happy to come back and enjoy them again soon.

The friendliest staff, exceptional service, huge portions at relatively very cheap prices, and delicious food. What more could you want? This is a great staple restaurant that if I lived in Sacramento I would come here all the time to grab a quick delicious meal.
I met my elderly grandpa here with some family for lunch. He is hard of hearing so they placed us in an area that was the most quiet of the restaurant. Our server went above and beyond to take care of us. Not only was she kind and helpful, she paid extra attention to care for my elderly grandpa. At the end of the lunch, she packed our leftovers for us and without even asking brought my grandpa some citron tea. She made our family feel so welcomed and cared for. The food was also delicious and had huge portions for the price. I can’t recommend enough.

Definitely recommend!! We came here after 4 other Korean bbq restaurants in the area having 2+ hour wait times, and I am SO glad we did! It looks a little sketchy from the outside but the wait staff were all so friendly and nice, the Galbi beef and the beef bulgogi were our favorite meats, the friend dumplings, the cheese Korean rice sticks, and the green onion pancakes were especially fantastic appetizers! Definitely would come back.

I love JJ’s! Wish it was closer to me, I’d come more often! Bf and I like to order the “single bbq”– which comes with a plate of your choice of meat, includes: cheese corn, steamed egg, tofu soup, rice, in addition to the standard banchan. The previous times that I went, it did not come with lettuce and the side of bean paste, but this time it did, as well as a side of assorted veges to grill! Bf and I are usually pretty full and content with just that! Sometimes we like to get the Spicy Chicken Wings or Cumin Lamb- both are tastey but we’d always have leftovers to take home. JJ’s always a nice treat for us if we are in the area!
