Chungdam

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 worth the wait. Food and atmosphere altogether was amazing. I do appreciate that the restaurant offered a lunch menu along with their regular menu. Would return here in the future, so good.

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 of seafood options as well since we had an epesceterian.

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). The workers cook the meat for you here, and serve you which is nice. However, I didn’t think this location was worth the prices they are charging for. The prime ribs were priced at $95, too. The food was good and filling but I could get more for a better price elsewhere. Also, because we were there near closing time, we felt rushed to eat our meal. We were given the check during our meal and needed my husband to sign it asap versus waiting until we finished. Overall, ok experience but will not be returning.

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 Short Ribs. We also ordered some pork belly and kimchi fried rice. The meat quality was out of this world. The prime ribs were perfectly marbled and had that buttery-rich flavor only possible from high quality meat. Just salt was enough seasoning to accompany this dish. The lightly marinated ribs were great as well. It had a light lingering sweetness to the taste, so I'm sure the ladies will enjoy the palette. The pork belly and kimchi fried rice were excellent as well and overall rounded out to a satisfying and delicious meal. Also, a quick shoutout to Su Jin who grilled our meat for us. The grilling can make or break a KBBQ experience, and she was clearly a master at her craft. The ambiance is on the upscale side, so it'd be fantastic for a nice meal out with the family or with your date. I think this place is actually a level better than high-end KBBQ places down in Socal like Soowon Galbi and Chosun Galbi, which is surprising but I'm not complaining! I highly recommend everyone check out this spot at least once.

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’t end 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 more than 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 loved it. 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’ll visit again.

The Food I've been to different Korean BBQ before, but my friends recommended Chungdam Restaurant. It is a more upscale Korean restaurant with BBQ selection. My friends and I ordered their BBQ Selection. - Seafood Pancake (해물파전) - Prime Boneless Shortrib (눈꽃살) - Prime Ribeye Steak (프라임생등심) - Beef Brisket, Thinly Sliced (차돌박이) Starting with the side dishes, most of them are pretty good. Though I would say the raw crab is a nice and unique idea, it is hard to eat as a side dish. On to the Seafood Pancake, gotta say it is pretty unique and I enjoyed it. Aside from the normal standard ingredients, there are thin crispy noodles wrapped around. The Prime Boneless Shortrib and Beef Brisket presented with good marbling, and it tasted very good. The Prime Ribeye Steak also presented with good marbling. Though we asked for medium rare, it was slightly overcooked. The Miscellaneous Chungdam is a fairly spacious restaurant. It is off of the main road, with a small parking lot and street parking towards the back. The inside has tables with and without grills. If you want to get KBBQ, ask for a table with a grill. Their staff are sincere and their service is very good. They will also do the grilling for you as well so you can enjoy your meal. The menu has a good variety and selection of items. Most people will focus on the BBQ Selections, but there is also Soups, Entrees, and Cold Noodle. They also have a wine menu if you want to pair some wine with your steak. It is pricey, because you are also paying for the service as well. Chungdam is a good restaurant for special occasions, but not for normal meals.
