Ilbunjee(#1 - Santa Clara

Came here for a weekday dinner. Initially we only want one BBQ since we only have two ppl but was told at minimum 2 orders of BBQ meat. And then waited for over 30 mins after seated. Worst experience ever!Food: 1/5

Quality food, especially like salad which is free to refill, like dish soup as well. There are only limited seats so may need to reserve table earlyFood: 5/5

Meat quality is only alright.Server said we can only get 3 rounds of side dishes, extra rounds will be charged.Our group (5ppl) got mandatory 18% tip but we got no service at all (nobody was helping cooking)A Korean group of 6 next to us was being helped/serviced the whole time and they weren’t charged with the 18%.Never coming back again.

I seriously can't see how they got so many great reviews... The restaurant was just average. Like most other Korean BBQ restaurants, price is high. Dinner for 2 was $120 with tips. Meat grade and portion size was just average. Banchan side dishes) was sparse and below par. They also state that they do not provide unlimited banchan : Not sure at what point they charge for extra but we only felt comfortable asking for just one refill. They don't give you plain rice but some type of rice balls... not bad but not great. The place is small and felt like a local dive with limited parking. Floors were sticky. Service was friendly but limited as they only had 2 servers. Again the food was not bad but not great and with so many better restaurants in the area I would not go back.

Korean Pojangmacha style barbecue restaurant. This house's pork, (hangjeongsal) is highly recommended. Don't forget the kimchi noodles for dessert. But parking is sooooo difficult.Parking: Parking space is very narrow
