Tobang

Restaurant only had a few tables filled when I visited on a late Sunday afternoon. Steamed egg was mostly broth. Kalbi was way too sweet, almost teriyaki sweet and half bones. Tofu soup was average. Banchan especially the fish cake was also way too sweet. Set menu Seafood pancake was smaller than a personal pizza. Overall very disappointed with the meal considering the set menu price point ~ $70 with kalbi and steamed egg.

Tobang is *good* but it's somewhat odd in that only select meats can be grilled at the table. Those meats are the bricket, beef belly and pork belly. Every other meet -- e.g. kalbi, bulgogi -- come pre-cooked. They are delicious, though, so no issues. Finally, go ahead and order the Special meal packages, which are cheaper and generous portioned.

One of the best Korean BBQ spots I’ve been to! The kalbi was super tender, and every cut of meat was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Side dishes were fresh and varied, and the prices for drinks were surprisingly low. The tofu soup and bean paste soup were also really tasty and comforting. Highly recommend – I’ll definitely be back!

LOVED my experience here! we reserved a table for 6 on a Thursday night and we were seated promptly. We ordered 2 specials and it was more than enough for us. the service was fast and the food was DELICIOUS. the portions were hefty and the sides were tasty too. I truly loved my meal there and will be back.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE service and price for the food. Every time I come with a friend who hasn't been here before, they are shocked by just how fast and generous the banchan refills are. The ladies who operate this business sure know what good customer service is. I love coming here every time I have a kbbq craving - I only wish it were closer to my home so I can come more frequently. Amazing local business - truly a gem!

A popular Korean BBQ restaurant that has been around for many years in the Koreatown of Santa Clara. They have four sets of menu for 2-4 people. The waitress would ask you to pick out the meats as soon as you enter the door before you sit down at the table. Our waitress recommended brisket, pork belly, bulgogi (sliced beef), and galbi (beef short ribs), as well as the steamed egg for the kids. We also added a spicy BBQ chicken. The brisket and pork belly were a bit dry but still pretty tasty; the bulgogi tasted a bit too sweet; the galbi and the spicy BBQ chicken were the best. You can dip the meats in four different kinds of sauces (fermented bean sauce, soy sauce, spicy sauce, and sesame oil). Their side dishes were all very good. The set also cane with a seafood pancake and kimchi fried rice or plain rice. There was a lot of food for the set. We barely finished everything. Service was very efficient.

When you first walk in, you order right away by choosing the set menu you would like to order from. We got the Set A menu, which has a choice of 2 meats, 1 seafood pancake, choice of kimchi fried rice or steamed rice, lettuce wraps, and side dishes. We also ordered an add on of beef soft tofu soup. For the two meats, we got the brisket and beef belly. Both meats were really good! It was soft and tender once cooked. Seafood pancake was airy and crispy. For the beef tofu soup, we got mild and it was the perfect amount of mild spice. I loved the soup! Servers here were very friendly and they brought out the food items really quickly. A+ service!
