Food was good but not out of this world for Korean bbq. I give this a 2 star because where I was sat, the bus boy had to get me out of my chair to get thru which was a horrible experience. And this went on at least 3-4 times. Sometime he would just bump me as if I knew to get up from the back. I don’t have eyes in the back of my head.

Yeah I really like this place. If you’re visiting and trying to find food you can’t get most other places go here. The staff is friendly wonderful and attentive and the food is great. Get the all you can eat and have an amazing time getting meat sweats for around 30 bucks. Other things like soups and kimchi there is also sold. It’s a little divey feeling but in only the best ways. Come here you won’t be disappointed.

This review is only for lunch special.

This place is currently my favorite spot for galbi with an insanely good price. With the Galbi combo, it’s $24.99 and comes with cold noodles, really tasty banchans (side dishes), soup of choice (I do tofu soup), and galbi.

Everything was so delicious and the pricing is great especially in this economy.

The restaurant interior isn’t anything crazy but the service is phenomenal! You know it’s good and authentic when Korean grandmas are serving you.

Parking is street parking – I’ve never had problem during lunch hour finding street parking but might be different later at night time.

Overall, been here twice and it’s been consistently good. Definitely my go-to for cheap galbi and tofu soup! Might give the AYCE Korean bbq a try some time.

Absolutely amazing!!! I’ve come here ever since I was a little kid, and it’s really good. This restaurant is a truly authentic kbbq, the waiters do speak fluent Korean. Came here recently around lunch and there was no wait! Me and my plus twos were seated rather quickly. We ordered the all you can eat, which is pretty worth it. Keep in mind that you have to finish eating in 2 hours, and that if you have leftover meat you have to pay extra!
Anyways, at each table there’s two complimentary sauces, one is really salty and another is kind of like soy sauce. Soon, a waiter/waitress will arrive and give you the banchan (side dishes), which are amazing. I highly recommend the fried potatoes. After that, you order and then you…. wait. Usually the wait is five to 15 minutes, it varies a lot because there’s rush hour and all the staff members have to cater to all the customers.
Once you get your food (aka raw meat and stuff) you just grill it and BOOM! it’s delicious. Dipping it in the sauce is great- it kind of cools it down and just adds great flavor. This time we also order some noodles (i forgot the name) that were cold, which actually tasted really good.
I’m glad I come here, because the food is just great, if you cook it well haha. But the meat is actually pretty good quality!
You can also ask for lettuce to wrap the meat in, and they’ll give you a paste as well (not sure if its ssamjang or doenjang, I don’t know much about Korean culture but I love it). I highly recommend doing this because it’s really good!! I also add some banchan in the wrap which is delicious.
Keep in mind the banchan is complimentary and you can always ask for more!
Anyways, this restaurant is just awesome. Please come here. You won’t regret it.
AND DON’T FORGET ABOUT THOSE POTATOES! THEY’RE MY LIFE AND SOUL /lighthearted /half kidding

This was not my first visit to Jong Ga House, and it is most certainly not my last. I frequent Jong Ga House when I’m craving korean bbq that reminds me of home.

I have celebrated several birthdays amongst my friends here because it is perfect for large groups and they even throw in a birthday discount ($22.99 for the birthday person), two scoops of ice cream, and they play happy birthday through the speakers across the restaurant! They never fail to provide excellent, attentive service as well as authentic Korean bbq that keeps you wanting more.

This is also one of the more affordable all you can eat (AYCE) kbbq spots in the East Bay. Lunch & happy hour (9pm-11pm) is $29.99/person and dinner is only $32.99. Compared to other spots that charge nearly $50/person and often have slower service or marinades that don’t quite capture traditional Korean flavors, Jong Ga House knocks it out of the park in every category.

I especially love that they offer Mul Naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodle soup) and bibim naengmyeon (spicy buckwheat noodles) on the AYCE menu. These noodle dishes pair perfectly with freshly grilled Kalbi, so it is always a delight to be able to order one of these with my meal here. Mul Naengmyeon is always served with a side of hot mustard and vinegar to mix in to taste. It is such a refreshing dish that brightens your whole meal, make it as spicy or as sour as you want! Pro Tip: Be sure to cut your noodles into smaller pieces, they are super-duper chewy!

Everything here is an absolute hit, but you have to try their Kimchi Pancake, Caramelized Fried potatoes, and, of course, the corn cheese! (Usually I order one of each per 2 people) You don’t have to worry about filling up too fast on the sides—the portion sizes are thoughtful, and you can always let them know if your table wants more or less of a serving.

In addition to their banchan (complimentary side dishes that you can refill at most Korean restaurants), they also offer Booricha (roasted barley tea) which helps to cut the grease of some richer meats, like pork belly and intestine.

Beyond the food, the stellar service has kept me coming back. During one of my first visits, I came with a party of eight, and one of our friends was vegetarian. The staff kindly let her order from the regular menu while the rest of us enjoyed the AYCE KBBQ + hotpot combo.
(FYI: the hotpot add-on is available for parties of 5+ for just $10 more.)

It’s the little things that they continue to do that make them my favorite Korean bbq spot in the east bay. Come give this small business a visit and eat your heart out!

New favorite KBBQ spot in Oakland. I was really impressed with how fresh the meat was, and they have a huge variety to choose from. It’s hard to find a place this good that doesn’t totally wreck your wallet, but the price here is really fair. Definitely coming back with a bigger group next time!

Delicious koren BBQ! I go there for the dol sot bibimbap- it’s amazing on a cold night. Yummy dumpling too. Full bar is also nice. It can be very crowded. Try after 7 on a Monday night.

This is our second time, we tried lunch specials bulgogi and kimchi soup and came with rice and some cold noodles soup, but the rice had a smelly smell, we didn’t know until we eat and I think it’s an old rice so we will not come back here again. Even if our first time was not good either

Excellent Korean spot with quality meats and side dishes “banchan”. We got the all you can eat and there was a discount for the toddler and baby obviously free. We were served upstairs so it was less smoky but definitely away from the action. Server was courteous, forgot a few things, but overall it was fast service. Definitely come again.

Oakland and Grand Avenue are a culinary delight. Snuck down here on a time crunch before a college football game and thought I entered a slice of heaven. The restaurant was very busy and the staff attentive and knowledgeable. We chose the all you can eat which we did trying everything we could. Besides the scrumptious flavors, the food didn’t leave you with a heavy feeling. The Bulgogi and the calamari were my favorites. I highly recommend this spot.
