# Chungdam – Koreansk restaurang i San Jose med BBQ och traditionell mat

Chungdam är en populär koreansk restaurang belägen på 3180 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA. Känd för sin utsökta BBQ och traditionella koreanska rätter, erbjuder Chungdam en unik matupplevelse i en elegant miljö. Restaurangen har en historia av att vara en favorit bland lokalbefolkningen och besökare, med högkvalitativa ingredienser och en service som ofta berömmas av gäster. Chungdam är också känt för sina privata rum som är perfekta för större sällskap och firanden, vilket gör den till ett utmärkt val för speciella tillfällen.

Ambience, service, food are good! Good to have dinner with special guests. but price is a little expensive.

Amazing service at Chungdam. I've been here a few times before, so I booked this for a joint birthday dinner with my sister-in-law. They seated our large party (11 people) in one of their private rooms. We ordered a bunch of plates and different BBQ meats for our table, which included seafood pancake, steamed egg, grilled squid, galbijjim, bibimbap, galbitang, and beef tofu soup. We got about ~7 plates of meat (bulgogi, pork belly, beef tongue, and brisket), which was a perfect amount for us. I love that they cooked on the grill on the other table in the private room, so that we wouldn't have the smell of KBBQ on our clothes. They also brought out lots of banchan for us - I was surprised that that included raw marinated crab. Although, I wish they had some of the staple side dishes like fish cakes, radish kimchi, etc. Everything was cooked very well, full of flavor and spices, meat was super tender. Our server was very sweet and accommodating; she definitely made sure we were taken care of. Lastly, we were celebrating two birthdays, so she brought out a little surprise (chocopies for the table) and sang happy birthday for us. Overall, great place for celebrations and group dinners. It will always hold a special place in my heart, since me and my husband had our engagement dinner here in the past.

Very Disappointed Not Coming Back Chung Dam used to be our favorite spot. My family came here often, but this visit completely ruined my birthday. We paid $317 including 18% tips for Signature Set B for 3 people, and it was not worth it. The meat quality has gone downhill too fatty, barely any real meat, and no bone like before. They didn't help with grilling well, and service was terrible. We waited forever for tea, had to ask 3 times, and they forgot our soup. It came like 30 minutes later, salty and full of fat. The restaurant wasn't even busy, but the servers were more focused on chatting with friends than helping customers. What's worse? We went to down street Seorai Korean BBQ (same owner), last week and it was much better ‍great service, better food, and fair pricing. Clearly, Chung Dam is poorly managed now. I'm very disappointed and won't be coming back.

Still dreaming about the short rib, rice cake, and cheese! The meat was fantastic quality and taste. Such a beautiful and clean aesthetic, lots of parking, this place is amazing. Services is attentive and speedy!

We came in on Friday night at 6pm for dinner- plenty of parking in the back. We were greeted and seated right away in one of the private rooms. I learned that chungdam is the sister restaurant of seorai which is one of my favorite kbbq spots in the bay. Both are on the pricier end but i think it's definitely worth it for the service (they cook for you) and quality meat. We ordered the combo A which came with the short rib, soybean stew, bibimbap, and glass noodles (meant to serve 2 people). We also ordered the brisket on top of that. We ate most of the food and had a bit of leftovers so I think it was the perfect amount. I won't lie I think I prefer the banchan at Seorai more- however, we got a side of raw marinated crab which was DELICIOUS! The sauce was so yummy. My family and I also really enjoyed the short rib- I think this is a must order here. It was very tender and flavorful. Something I think worth noting is we didn't really smell like kbbq after, which is a huge plus since most places the smell can really linger on your clothes and hair. Overall was a great experience, the staff were attentive and the food was all delicious! I would come back in a bigger group to try more items!

My friendsand I had a reservation at Chungdam for 6:30pm on a Wednesday. She had been to the restaurant once, but this was my first time at Chungdam. She was also the same friend who introduced me to Seorai, Chungdam's sister restaurant, which I thought was pretty good. Not only did Chungdam meet my expectations, but it also exceeded them. I would go as far as saying that Chungdam was much better than Seorai's. That said, they have different vibes by which Chungdam felt more of an upscale experience. We were seated in one of the private rooms. Perfect for an intimate dinner. Everything about the service was outstanding. Our food came out really fast, and Su Jin, our main server, was the best! The white glove service was real. She helped to portion the servings evenly, and I loved how enthusiastic she was when our food came out. I learned about the ingredients, health benefits, etc... reminded me of an omakase dinner when the server or chef shared a story behind the meal. In general, the other wait staff members were hospitable and highly attentive. My friend, who is Korean, made the suggestion of not doing kbbq like we always do but trying the traditional Korean dishes instead. I was game for whatever, so I let her do the ordering. There wasn't a dish that I didn't like, and I was so glad we had leftovers to take home. Welcome porridge - Loved it, and I can't say I ever had a porridge quite like it. The texture was not like I expected, which was blended and smooth. Banchan - We had the pleasure of getting marinated raw crab as part of our banchan. What a treat! Again, something I've never had before but have always wanted to try. Bone broth - Absolutely fantastic. So rich with umami flavor. My friend said that sometimes it's made with oxtail bones, and I totally got that flavor. Spicy braised short rib with cheese - I think this was Galbi jjim. The beef was very tender, and I loved the fattiness. Cold noodles - Never had it prior, so this was incredibly unique to me. If you love kimchi, then you'll appreciate the flavor. I thought it was cool how they make the noodles in-house. Sea bass - This was Su Jin's favorite dish off the menu, and I could see why. I already love sea bass, which was beautifully plump and flaky, but the marinate for this stew was everything. Kabocha dessert soup - Kabocha is one of my favorite squashes, but I've only had it prepared as a savory side. Who knew that it could be made into a sweet soup? This was light, refreshing, and a nice palate cleanser to end our meal on a high note.

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a tasty experience. Parking was available on the street. We were able to be seated upon arrival. The highlight was the strong a/c. Chungdam has lightly remodelled since my last visit. Some of the details are still lacking...such as there was paint on adjacent walls, pencil marks from dining table markings etc. Started off with the beef japchae and it was decent. It was filled with beef and mushrooms. The original version with seafood when they first opened was even better. The beef short rib stew was excellent. It's now presented on a cast-iron pan, instead of a cast-iron pot...perhaps shrinkflation? The meat was very tender and flavorful....perhaps even a touch too flavorful. Our meal consisted of a wide array of sides,which the staff offered to refill. Meal ended off with some black seasme mochi which was complimentary. ~$40/head after tax and gratuity for lunch

Came here to introduce a non-Korean family friend to Korean food and it was amazing! Everything tasted really good and the presentation of food was impressive as well. The ambiance is nice as well, especially for impressing somebody excited to try Korean food for the first time! Will be coming back hopefully sometime soon! Service was great as well!

Stopped by on Memorial Day and were seated right away since there was no wait. I hadn't done any research beforehand, so we were a bit surprised to find the restaurant had more of an upscale vibe, you can tell from the interior and seating layout. There's a mix of regular tables and grill tables. For our party of three, we ordered the spicy short rib with cheese, Chungdam galbi, grilled pork belly, and three bowls of rice. The meal came with complimentary sides, though there weren't as many varieties compared to other Korean spots. Portions are on the smaller side, so I'd recommend ordering an extra dish or two. That said, it ended up being just the right amount for us since it was our first meal of the day. The meat quality was solid, but I do wish there were more appealing side options, since we didn't really touch ours.

First impression is a modern elevated Korean dining experience. Staff is very attentive and professional. No wait time for a weekend lunch. We did opt to share the beef bibimbap and tofu soup. The bibimbap incorporated probably some of the freshest veggies I've had in a bibimbap and tasted wonderful. A filling and guilt-free option for sure! The tofu soup checked every box for me. You can never go wrong with this choice! More on the expensive side, but the ingredients and service definitely validate it.
