Jjang Korean BBQ

Korean BBQ is one of my favourite meals and it's always a mission finding good ones back in Auckland. But here in Vancouver, there are so many more options to choose from and I think I landed one that's made it to my favourites list.
This is @jang_bbq and Social house, providing some of the best KBBQ combos for couples or larger groups. I absolutely love the interior and clean industrial vibes, it really adds to the experience. We opted for their new summer menu for guests of two. Choosing 4 meats/seafood dishes & one soup. It comes with 2 bowls of rice and Korean side dishes. We opted for their premium meat options for additional $10 per dish - this was the Rib eye steak.

They also have some really fun cocktails and mock-tails available. Grab the soju cocktail and have it delivered with the bottle and a giant glass! So cool and aesthetic, and goes down smooth!

If you're thinking about coming here for lunch, they also have some awesome lunch deals you should check out! If this spot wasn't so far, I would regularly be back!

Staff were nice and attentive, they change the grill every so often.

The food is good but they're terribly understaffed. There was one poor guy running around, doing his best in a full restaurant.

He was very nice and they offered ice cream and a toy for my 3 year old after dinner. I would give 4 stars if they had more servers.

We dined at JJANG Korean BBQ the other night and were blown away by their top-notch food and fresh ingredients.

We ordered the Combo Set for Two, which included AAA thinly sliced beef, succulent pork belly, soy chicken thigh, juicy garlic scallops, and spicy seafood tofu soup. The set also came with a refreshing cocktail and a soft drink.

The meat melted in our mouths, and we especially loved the spicy seafood tofu soup--packed with seafood and perfectly spiced (mild to medium). The marinated dishes were excellently prepared.

The side dishes (sweet potatoes, kimchi, bean sprouts) and salad were fantastic. Portions were generous; the combo could easily feed more than two people.

Overall, we left full and satisfied. We highly recommend JJANG for a unique Korean BBQ experience! If you're in Richmond and craving Korean BBQ cuisine, JJANG Korean BBQ is the place to be.

This place is so cool! Lots of exhaust so you don't come out smelling like kkbbq. You order on the ipad at the table which we learned the hard way lol. The meat is juicy and tender and the seafood pancake so good! Reservations online. It wasn't too busy when we went at 5pm but by 6 it was so busy with line up so the waitress offered us discount on bill if we can leave earlier lol. Ok then. We did as we were finishing up anyways. Nice bday treat for me thx friends!

MEAT ME FOR DINNER

My mom and I went for a girls night @jjang_bbq and had a night of laughs. I may or may not have fed her too much of the mango cocktail

I loved the ambience of the restaurant, the tables were a nice distance from each other, decor was modern, and everything was super clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and devoured everything. My mom can't eat spicy food but she finished her soybean soup even though she was lowkey dying from the spice because "it was super yummy."

Service was also really great. Our server answered any and all questions that we had about the menu, and made sure to check up on us without being overbearing.

I will definitely be bringing my friends and family here, the vibes in the restaurant is perfect for a party or group dinners.

Everything we ordered was from their Daily Special menu that's available Mondays-Thursdays. This menu offers some serious value, without sacrificing on quality.

Here's everything we tried from that menu:

Premium Beef Short Rib 10/10
Look at that marbling. Just look.

Beef Rib Finger 10/10
The beef was marinated in sesame oil which complimented the beefy flavours super nicely

Beef Belly 10/10
The black pepper sauce was really flavourful, and the fatty beef was *chefs kisses*

Spicy Garlic Shrimp 8/10
The shrimps were really fat and juicy, but a bit too spicy for me personally

Tteokboki Sausage Skewer 10/10
The crunchy and chewy rice cakes was superior.

Soy Bean Soup 10/10
Hella spicy, but hella good

Jjang Jump (cocktail) 10/10
My mom doesn't usually drink but she couldn't put this down. The cocktail tasted like mango juice

Have you guys tried out this Korean bbq spot yet?

Stopped in with friends that have never had Korean bbq to let them have the experience. The restaurant was super clean, staff was friendly and helpful.

We did the combo for 4 people. There was plenty of food, we were able to take some to go. The main thing for us is there just want enough seasoning. The sauces they provided were delicious, but the meat needed to be salted first. The chicken was amazing. It was marinated and had green onion garnish. Kimchi was nice and spicy.

Once we asked for some salt, it definitely made the meal much better. Just not the best korean bbq, and I can't say I would return.

Premium KBBQ experience serving high quality, well-seasoned meats. You won't get the best lbs of meat/$ here but this is not what this place is about. Order some carbs (e.g. rice) to enjoy your meal with and you'll leave more than satisfied! Servers are nice and the high ceilings and well-spaced out tables ensure that things don't get too loud or stuffy even during peak hours.

5 stars coming from someone who lived by LA Koreatown for years and recently went on a trip to Korea. This isn't the best KBBQ I've ever had, but it is the best I've had in Vancouver and would still hold up to 4 stars if I reviewed this while living in LA. I'll be back here time and time again.

JJang is a tasty Korean BBQ spot in Richmond BC. With a lively and spacious environment, It's a great spot to enjoy deluxe meats and yummy cocktails with your friends and family. We especially enjoyed the duck breast, and it was a BBQ option we haven't seen at many other spots yet. Cheese corn is always a fav, and the soju drink so fun and refreshing. Servers are also very nice and attentive to stock up your appetizers.

A busy spot! We had a reservation but it still had to wait a bit to be acknowledged at the front and for them to clear our table. It seems like they also have a VIP room too for people to rent/reserve.
The menu was extensive - you have to put your order through a website too. The internet reception is not great in the restaurant so it took us a while to be able to put through our order, but once that was done it didn't take too long for things to start coming out.
The meat quality was decent and the cooked dishes were done well. We really appreciated the spicy level in our soup and also the kimchi. Thoroughly enjoyable!

It's nice to have another Korean BBQ place in Richmond! The prices here are reasonable (our bill was around $35-$40 per person) and the ambience and service are solid, however, food quality was mediocre. Our server gave us instructions on how to cook the meats and our dishes came out quick. Where points were deducted is the quality of the food. The meats were a bit tough and chewy compared to other places, but the real issue was the soybean soup. It was EXTREMELY salty (perhaps too heavy on the doojeon) and we could not drink the soup as is. Once we were done with the rice, we left the remainder of the soup untouched. While I think this restaurant offers great potential from location, service to ambience, the food falls short to some other Korean BBQ restaurants
