A wagyu-forward specialist where you work through ten prized beef cuts at the grill. Independent, meat-focused, and serious about marbling; a splurge that still feels personal rather than flashy.

This place is a must try. We got the beef tartar and bossom. The beef tartar was super good. We ordered rib fingers, pork jowl, and beef tongue for the bbq. The beef tongue is some of the best I've had. We also ordered cold noodle and noodle soup. Both were excellent and good portion. They have great service and cooks the food for you. Very attentive. Price is on the higher end tho!

Went there with a group of 12. Reservations strongly recommended even on a Tuesday evening. They asked us to preorder (3-4 days in advance) which was good but also odd to decide for the group. Food was delicious, they cooked the meat to perfection which warrants 5 stars. But the drinks service was very spotty and they were really not around to check on the tables Place was noisy They gave us a time limit because there was another reservation later in the evening, which was great on communication but we were essentially rushing to finish our meal. overall, great food but a few nuances that our group did not find exciting.

Last weekend, I invited my girlfriend--who's half Korean and had just spent a month in Seoul--to check out this restaurant with me. I'd never been before, but I'd heard from others that the meat quality was excellent. Making a reservation was a bit tricky. You can't simply pick a time online--you have to fill out your name, contact information, party size, date, and preferred time, then wait for them to confirm or deny your request. I asked for 12:15 for two, but they accepted us at 12:30. It's an unusual system that might help them manage tables efficiently, but it's a bit of a hassle for customers. When we arrived, the restaurant was moderately busy--not packed--and the noise level was comfortable. The vibe is modern, simple, and clean. I'd visited Chungdam a couple of months earlier and found their atmosphere more upscale, though the meat quality at both places is comparable. The premium galbi here might be about $5-$10 less. We ordered the tofu soup and seafood pancake to start. My friend said the pancake reminded her of a quiche--it was thicker than she preferred, and I agreed. The seafood tofu soup, however, was delicious, and the banchan that came with the meal was all very good. That said, I still prefer Chungdam's banchan flavors and offerings more--they tasted more authentic similar to those in Seoul. We also ordered lettuce wraps for our meat (an additional charge) and settled on the galbi and pork belly. Both were delicious. Overall, the food was solid, but it was the company that made the experience great. We didn't try any of the drinks because my friend doesn't drink alcohol. Our server was very attentive--grilling and cutting our meats, pouring the tofu soup, and plating the seafood pancake for us individually. That level of service isn't always standard at other Korean BBQ spots, and the price reflects that extra care. Parking was easy at lunchtime, with free lot parking and available street spaces. I can imagine it being more difficult at dinner, but we may have just gotten lucky.

I went with friends during lunch on a weekday without a reservation since there was no availability left online. Luckily we did not have to wait and were seated right away. The meat is high quality and the side dishes were really good but be prepared to spend more than your typical KBBQ restaurant. There is a designated server for your table and they cook the meat for you to ensure it’s not overcooked.

The meat was definitely high quality and tasted great. There were a range of great options but would definitely recommend the skirt steak, bulgogi, and pork belly! My only problem was that they were constantly having to reach over us and lean over the food since they do the cooking for you. It made conversation kind of awkward and reaching food a bit weird too. Otherwise great time. (be ready to spend money…)

Fantastic Korean bbq in Sunnyvale area. Loved the food. Only recommendation is to allow the grill to be used with one order instead of minimum 2

Very nice Korean spot. I had brisket with 17 dishes of I don't know...most were good, some weren't my favorite. My table had steak, bulgoki, and pork belly. I tried it all and was pleased. I'd recommend this place for sure. The Old Fashioned here was awesome!

The food is very good and the service is also very good. All the cooking is done tableside by their servers. However, the price is rather high. I don't feel this place is much better than Baekjeong (valley fair) which is also very good, has very good service, and is a bit less expensive for what I consider pretty much identical product. Upon paying the bill, I paid 10% in tip. The default lowest tip option is 20%, but I don't do that. My personal policy is 10% for good service, and if the service is poor, I typically give nothing. So in my book, I gave what I consider a "good" tip. The server seemed upset and asked me, no 20%? I said, this here is what I tip for good service. This was rather off putting. I don't think servers asking for more tip is a good look for any restaurant, especially one like this that aspires to be a high end KBBQ. I personally think tipping 20% is ridiculous for the type of skill required to be a server. If I were to ever return, and if I were to be harrassed for more tip, you can bet the entire restaurant is going to know how unhappy I would be. If management would like to contact me about this, I'm happy to discuss. I typically visit high end restaurants pretty often so if management doesn't think this is a problem, there are plenty of other places to spend my money at.

Delicious banchan, delicious meats, and good service. The alcoholic drinks are very light according to my husband. We loved all the meats we got, with the exception of the recommended marinated short ribs. It was way too sweet. Will definitely be back!

Really pricy but high quality Korean bbq. Expect to wait 1-1.5 hours on a Saturday night if you don't have a reservation. The banchan spread they start you off with is awesome. Ours had some mini pancake, potato salad, dried anchovy, cucumbers, tofu, fish cakes, and kimchi. And they were very proactive about asking if you wanted things refilled. They also gave us a complimentary "miso" soup (but I'm suspecting it was doenjang). We got: Ribeye (US wagyu) - I found this cut pretty underwhelming, wasn't as tender as I would expect from wagyu and more chewy. Also one of the more expensive cuts, would skip this. Boneless short rib (US wagyu) - I liked this more than the ribeye, but not as much as the marinated short rib. Marinated bone in short rib - This was my favorite. I'm just a sucker for a marinated short rib. Portion is quite generous which I guess explains the price ($85). Pork jowl - I'm usually a big fan of pork jowl, but I think it doesn't work as well in the bbq format. Pretty juicy pork but without a sauce on it, it's just ultimately just not as fatty and flavorful as short rib. Would probably skip this next time. Ended up being quite pricy, but I think if I were to come back, I'd just order the marinated bone in short rib to share.

First time trying 10 Butchers KBBQ! This has become my favorite KBBQ spot. The service is quick. They cook the meats for you, plate the meat, and serve your table consistently and attentively. The brisket and A5 Japanese Wagyu were my favorite. The wagyu is served with real wasabi. The staff is super friendly and attentive. My table wasn't sure how much food would feed our group size, but the staff was able to help us decide. They cooked our food perfectly and I wouldn't change it any other way. I'll be back again! Restroom was decently clean.

I came here with my partner to introduce him to the BEST korean barbecue in the bay, and 10 Butchers did not upset! We had a reservation and did not have to wait long until we got a table. We had a sweet lady as our server and cook and she was so friendly! She gave us recommendations on how to eat each item and made sure we were okay. The space is so spacious and comfortable with lots of ventilation so you do not leave smelling like meat. Very clean aesthetic. The food was delicious, I can't even describe it. Melts in your mouth, delicious bite every time. Refreshing unlimited banchan. I love the beef tartare. Everything was perfect!

Wasn't my personal cup of tea. Prices were fair but the meat cuts weren't to my liking, as they didn't have intestines or organs as I usually prefer. The pork belly was soft and crispy and I also liked their filet minion as it was soft. I didn't like how the servers cooked for us as there was differences in how the table liked their meat to be prepped, bean sprouts were discarded, and not all vegetables were prepared proper. I also prefer to cook myself as I felt really bad about the smoke blowing into the servers faces and it being extremely hot for them. Otherwise a fun experience!

Place is a bit pricey but was delicious! They cook the food for you and our waitress did a good job! For meats we ordered: beef tongue, marinated short rib, US wagyu ribeye, and something else I don't remember. All the meats were good except for the marinated short ribs.bi wasn't a big fan, meat was tender but the marinade made the beef way too sweet

Omg! My friend was so generous to bring me here for my birthday dinner. I had the most delicious meal and was not disappointed. We ordered the marinated short ribs and pork jowl. I usually eat pork belly, but our server mentioned the jowl tasted better. I do like they cook the meat for you so you don't have to worry about out it. The workers come by around and make sure your meat is cooked properly and cut it up for you. I ordered the hibiscus highball which was refreshing. I had a good time and when we left the workers say goodbye to you. I felt like they really take care of how to make the customers feel welcomed.

10 Butchers is a Korean BBQ restaurant located in Sunnyvale just off of El Camino Real. I've heard that this is the best KBBQ in the Bay Area and Korean approved so we came to check it out. I called within two weeks of my desired dining date to secure the reservation. We ordered the US wagyu beef tongue (6oz $38), rib eye prime (12oz $65), US wagyu rib finger (8oz $42), boneless short rib US wagyu (6oz $55), marinated bone in short rib (2 bones $85), and seafood and wagyu soon tofu ($22). Our server cooked our meat from leanest to fattest so that we could ease our way up to the fatty meats such that they didn't mess up our taste buds. My favorite was the marinated bone in short rib; I could really taste the marinade and it was tender but not too much. I also especially liked the boneless short rib; it was very tender and fatty but some pieces were a bit too fatty and chewy. I also liked the beef tongue and the rib finger. Some pieces in the rib eye prime were tough and it might not have been the case if we had gotten the higher end cuts. For drinks, I also ordered the blackberry mojito ($14.50) which was good. We had onions and salad on the side to help cut through the meat. Of course, we also had banchan and my favorites were the pancake and the kimchi. Our server was very attentive to us (I never got his name) even though he was working on other tables. He cut off the fatty parts of the meat, gave us more kimchi banchan because he noticed we kept eating it at a fast rate, and provided us with frequent grill changes after every meat. Most importantly of all, he cooked our meats to our preferred doneness and really made our experience better.

Reservation reservation reservation! Make sure you have one, and you will thank me later! If you couldn't make a reservation, there is usually at least 60 to 90 min wait. I'd recommend you go to a boba place nearby while you wait. All the beef quality is top notch. A group of 3, we ordered: A5 Japanese Wagyu ribeye Rib cap Beef tongue (my fav) Marinated bone-in short ribs They grill everything for you. They change the grill plate after every item. A tiny cup of strawberry ice cream at the end was awesome great finishing touch!

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and it was a wonderful experience! Upon entry, we didn't have a reservation but the wait time was around 45 minutes on a weeknight. It is dimly lit and gives off a high-end fancy atmosphere. After we were seated a dedicated server took our order and also prepared the food in front of us. She was super kind and very quick with the orders. While a bit pricey, the brisket and Porkbelly was the best meat I've ever tasted from a KBBQ place; it melted in my mouth and was seasoned perfectly. The cocktail I ordered (Peach Crush) was also delicious, even though I'm not a big alcohol person! Overall this was a wonderful birthday present and I will cherish it forever. Thank you to the staff for a great experience! :)

I got to finally take my boyfriend. We walked in an hour before closing on a Saturday and got seated right away. We ordered everything and finished under 1.5 hours cause we were hungry. Shout out to our waiter, Sky who was so attentive and super kind. He also had us try his favorite soup that was spicy. We love spicy! The meats are top notch like seriously top 5 Korean restaurants I've ever had in California. Meats were perfectly cooked. I love how your clothes don't smell. Their banchan is unique and paired well with. We ended the meal with a little ice cream they give you. Again, our bellies were left happy and we had lots of left over. Always A+ service and A+ quality food.

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 10 Butchers has always been my favorite BBQ restaurant in the Bay. An elevated KBBQ experience, great place to go if you want to splurge a little. Service is great here. I came here on a Thursday night and the wait was only 30 minutes for 2. Wagyu Brisket: 5/5 This is my personal fav. I order this every time i go here. The way they cook this is to perfection with crispy edges. Wagyu Ribeye: 5/5 Very soft and tender! LOVE ITTT Wagyu Mandu: 4/5 I love the Wagyu Mandu but I noticed that they no longer put as much green onion as they used to. It's still very delicious Complementary Banchan: 4/5 Love the presentation of all the banchan. My personal favorite used to be the tofu. Its no longer the same, not as marinated as it used to be. Every other banchan was very good. Gukbap: 3/5 I've had better. To be honest, this soup was packed with meat. I wish there were more veggies and broth in it.

I've been wanting to visit 10 Butchers for so long. I'm so happy I finally got to go! And it exceeded my expectations. 10 Butchers is definitely a more upscale kbbq spot. My partner and I ordered the Boneless Short Rib and Ribeye both US Wagyu. Both cuts of meat were amazing quality. Our server cooked each meat to about medium well. The meat was juicy and super tender regardless with the Ribeye being the stand out. We also ordered the Yookhweh (beef tartare), Bibim Naengmyun (spicy cold noodles), and cocktails (Peach Crush & Blueberry Mojito). All very good, and I would recommend! Our server was very kind and patient with us. He kindly explained the items on our table we were not sure of. He gave us awesome recommendations. And overall, he tended to our needs to make our first time great! I can't wait to go back!

I can't even describe how much I love 10 Butchers--it's easily my favorite Korean restaurant in the Bay Area. It's definitely a splurge, so I save it for special occasions, but every visit feels special and worth every penny. The cuts of meat are incredible. High quality, expertly prepared, and melt-in-your-mouth good. I always order the naengmyeon, the chewy noodles, icy broth, and slices of pear make it so light and refreshing, especially after all the grilled meat. The service is impeccable. The staff grills the meat for you at the table with precision and care, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy. They're professional, warm, and make the whole experience feel seamless. Reservations are tough, but if you book ahead or are willing to wait, it's absolutely worth it.

Wanted to go here for some time. Finally had a window and got a reservation. I would say the meat is fatty but delicious probably par for course. High quality clearly. The Sides are nice and also good quality. Unfortunately I realized that if I am eating beef out I am a grilled filet fan vs fatty beef. Service was fast and to the point. Good choice to try once and determine if you like the style

Date: Friday, March 28th, 2025 Time: around 6pm Party of: 2 Meal: Dinner How: Walk In *Butchers Marinated Galbi ($85) *Sam Gyeop Sal ($35) *Dduk Galbi ($32) *Mix Soon Tofu ($22) I was meeting up a girlfriend for dinner and she wanted Asian food. I know she likes kbbq, so I suggested 10 Butchers. I know they are on the pricier side, but she was down to check it out. They don't take reservations - well at least for a party of 2 - so she went about a half hour before me to put in her name. It was perfect timing since the table was ready right when I got here. I adore short ribs so I had to try the kalbi. It was nicely marbled. Good with the green onion salad. The pork belly was fine. The samgyeopsal was a nice thick cut. All banchan and sauces were on the table, so I found it weird there was no sesame oil. I like making a dip if sesame oil, salt, and pepper. It was easily remedied when I asked for some. The tteok galbi was good, tho I don't like rice cakes. The servers here do everything, so I wished they asked who wanted what before serving. I don't like rice cakes so I took them off my plate and gave them to my gf. She doesn't really like soup, so it was a bummer they gave her such a huge portion as I would consumed it instead. I've been wanting to come here for a while, so glad I finally did. I was always deterred by the wait. Glad it worked out for us ad I didn't have to wait at all. REVIEW #3746

10 Butchers is an upscale Korean barbecue restaurant that delivers on quality farm to table meats and service in my last three visits. Reservations are strongly recommended, otherwise be prepared for hour(s) of wait time. Everyone I've taken here loves it! Highlights: 10 different banchans, you don't smell like barbecue after, great service, and they cook and cut everything for you. Food: Love the marinated ribs. Wagyu, seafood pancake, and the cold noodles are also good I'm not a huge KBBQ fan. This is my favorite and only one that I would return to.

Fancy schmancy Korean BBQ! I made rezzies by calling in a couple weeks beforehand for Mother's Day lunch. They have a strict policy and will give your table away if you're more than 15 minutes late. Don't run on Asian time! Service here is top notch. They cook and portion out everything for you, even two of six of our Wagyu dumplings were cut in half tableside so the four of us got precisely 1.5 each. Loved these, btw. The banchan was high quality and they will refill as requested. Tofu soup with wagyu and seafood was loaded with goodies and was quite delicious. Bibimbap had a good mix of ingredients but we were sad there wasn't a crunchy rice bottom, which we assumed would be the case with the hot stone pot. Very happy we were able to request spice level and some dishes (bibimbap), the hot sauce was even served on the side. We thought the marinated bone in short rib was both too sweet and too salty. Next time we'd try the unmarinated one. Couldn't get enough of the pork jowl that came with a big king mushroom too. So meaty and crunchy! Even though there's a parking lot in this strip mall, it can be difficult to find a spot. Pricy here, but worth the splurge. Will be coming back for my friend's bday (party of 10) in a couple weeks and will explore the menu some more.

Food: 4/5 - Pork Belly: 3/5, good but nothing special - Marinated Short Rib: 5/5, one of the best I've tried in the bay! - Galbitang: 4/5, clean broth and tender meat, I personally liked it but the soup doesn't taste as rich as some other places Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 I finally got to visit for a birthday celebration, made a reservation at 7pm for two people on a weekday. The line was still really long! It has great ambiance, inside is pretty spacious and you can see the butcher corner and a nice bar. Our server Janice was super sweet and welcoming, she was very attentive and gave us refills of our favorite banchans without us even having to ask her. She recommended us the marinated short rib which was really good. My personal favorite at kbbq is pork belly so I had to try it here too, which was good but not the best I've tried. The seasoning here is overall pretty mild across the board, including banchans, soup, and even the meat marinade. I personally liked it because it gives the taste of upscale Korean cuisine. But if you're into more rich and bold flavors, you might be disappointed! We want to visit again to try some other cuts of meat, but definitely for a special occasion given the price point.

My friend and I got the following: (6/10) Nakji Pajeon - The pancake was thick and packed with octopus and shrimp. Not the biggest fan mostly due to all the bell pepper it had. (9/10) US Wagyu Boneless Short Rib - My favorite! One of the cheaper cuts but it was very juicy and savory with the salt. (8/10) Pork Belly - Equal parts fatty and lean meat. Really good we just were extremely full already. (9/10) Side dishes - the VARIETY! They have a lot of side dishes including dried squid, tofu, pickled radish slices and more. They also gave a little sweet(?) It was either taro or ube, not too sure which but was yummy regardless! We were lucky as a walk-in since a reservation was cancelled so we were seated faster but the initial quoted wait time was around 45 min on a Saturday early dinner time. Total cost was around $157 including tax and tip. Service was speedy and they also help cook the meat and check in every couple minutes. Wasn't the most personable service but they were very busy so it was to be expected. The interior is dark and moderately noisy. The tables are spacious. They do not allow outside food or drink.

I can see why everyone raves about this spot! The food was fantastic, but the overall experience was just OK, which justifies the 4/5. This was definitely some of the better Korean BBQ I've had in recent memory. We ordered the wagyu dumplings, chuck flap, bulgogi and wagyu boneless short rib. The wagyu dumplings were to die for! These were large, stuffed, and so rich! I loved the pairing of the buttery meat with the kind of sweet sauce. The short rib and chuck flap were both great - they were both tender and hardly needed any salt or sauce to go with. I also enjoyed that the bulgogi came with glass noodles in the mix! As for the bonchon, we especially liked the mini seafood pancake (crispy on the outside and soft on the inside) and ube potato salad. However, I'd say the drinks we ordered (10 Butchers Mai Tai and Old Fashioned) were mediocre and probably not worth getting. The Mai Tai was a little bland and the Old Fashioned was strong but a little syrupy. If I had to do it again, I probably would've opted for wine. We also got seated in the back corner, but in chairs instead of a booth; it felt like we were backed up into the walk way. I think there are other spots of the restaurant that are probably a little more open and lively. Lastly, we opted to have the restaurant cook our meat for us, but it felt really rushed. Everything came out at once, was cooked very fast, and of course they were serving as they were cooking, but they kept re-serving and coming back to dish from the side plates as well almost hand to mouth. This was our fault, and we didn't know any better, but next time I will definitely choose to self-BBQ and take the meal more leisurely (our whole dinner was less than an hour). Otherwise, the wait staff was obviously very service-oriented and hospitable. I'd love to come back to try some other meats!

This is one of the best Korean bbq places I've tried so far! Came here on a weekday for lunch and was pleasantly surprised that we were seated immediately despite not having a reservation. They have a fair menu selection and everything is a la carte (NOT all you can eat). Their beverage selection is also very generous - they have so many creative cocktails and mocktails. I got the non alcoholic ginger mojito and I really enjoyed it! They use fresh ingredients (not just syrup) and it was one of the best mocktails I've had. In terms of food, I was very impressed! We got the pork jowl and the ribeye wagyu and it was delicious! We also got the japchae which was sooooo good. Portion wise, it looks huge, but we were able to almost finish it with 2 people. They are generous with their (free) side dishes and their dipping sauces are amazing (it includes fresh wasabi)! After eating, they have us strawberry soft serve, which was actually super delicious. They make it in house, which is disappointing because I wish I could buy some Service was also fantastic! It's one of those places where the staff cooks the meat for you. Jeremi was helping us out and was so sweet! They also gave us a second serving of ice cream just because we said it was good, which is super kind of them. I would 100% recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

Cool little place, parking is a little crazy sometimes, but the ambience is nice and the food was really good. Usually, I would post the menu and the drink menu, but they took the menus a little quick and I forgot to ask for it back. But overall the place has a really good vibe and the staff is fantastic. It is a little pricey, but worth what you were paying for.

I was excited to come here for my birthday, especially given the high reviews. We ordered the prime bone in short rib (생갈비), boneless short rib (꽃살), yukhwe (육회), and cold buckwheat noodles (냉면). Everything was ordered with the recommendation of our server. He was attentive, but not very helpful. For example, he said the yukhwe was absolutely beautiful red that day, but it wasn't. Some of the meat was still frozen, and you could hear the chunks when chewing it. He was also grilling the meat too fast and turned off the heat before we finished. It felt like he was trying to get us out of there, which didn't feel good, especially when paying for expensive galbi that went cold. I feel like for the price you are paying for quality and service, but neither was great that evening unfortunately.

10 Butchers has always been my go to restaurant for Korean BBQ. I've been here with friends and family multiple times without any issues. This time, my family and I did not have a good experience during dinner for my sister's birthday. The food was good as usual. We ordered 2 orders of the brisket, rib finger, marinated short rib, green onion pancake with octopus, and dooenjang jjigae (bean paste stew w/wagyu and tofu). Our waitress said are you sure that's enough for 5 of you? We said yes and that we will add on more food if needed. The waitress said it's easier to order more now which made no sense. The issues began once we started eating. Our waitress never refilled our water and side dishes despite being asked multiple times. The rice was brought out when we were eating our last meat dish (marinated short ribs) AFTER we had asked a 3rd time about the rice. It seems like the waitress was more focused on the table next to us that had ordered more drinks and food. Or she could have been serving too many tables. Overall I never had an experience like this before. For the price you pay, I expect better service than this. The check has the tip starting at 20%, 25%, 30%. This experience definitely wasn't worthy of these tip amounts. I will probably give this place another try but won't have high expectations with their service.

I've been to this restaurant many times and always had a great experience, but I realized I never wrote a review, so here it is! On my most recent visit, we were lucky to have Jin as our server, and she was absolutely amazing. Super attentive the entire time! She kept an eye on our table and refilled the side dishes and water right away as soon as we were running low without us even having to ask. She also noticed we could use more napkins and brought them over before we even said anything. What stood out the most was how well she handled grilling the meat. She timed it perfectly so it didn't get overcooked, perfectly medium rare, just how we like it. It's rare (pun intended) to get that level of care and attention, especially when it's busy. Shoutout to Jin for making our dinner even better. Definitely coming back (again) and hoping to sit in her section next time!

Smooth kbbq experience, very impressive ventilation system. All the meats were fabulous! So fatty I felt like I was gonna die at some point but not necessarily in a bad way. Not a fan of marinated meats generally but even the marinated short rib I enjoyed. Banchan was honestly a bit underwhelming, looked very Kunjip-like but didn't taste as good. Fantastic service.

Came for my husbands birthday. We arrived with reservations at around 6:00 PM but still had to wait an additional 20 minutes because it was fully packed. Having been here a couple times, I can say that the service and food quality is consistent. Servers are extremely knowledgeable and will tell you if you've ordered too much or too little. They won't up-sell you. They come by with perfect timing to cook your meat, adjust the temperature, replace the grill pan, or to adjust the meat positioning so it doesn't burn. here's what we ordered: 부처스 시크릿 RIB CAP 6oz ($55) - We love rib cap but this was the first time experiencing it at a KBBQ place. Did not disappoint and would get it again. 혀밑구이 US WAGYU BEEF TONGUE 6oz ($38) - Cooked to perfection. Not too chewy. 부처스 양념갈비 22oz SALT BASE MARINATED PRIME BONE IN SHORT RIB ($85) This was the last meat to be cooked. Expensive but worth it for the flavor. 물 냉면 MUL NAENG MYUN Thin cold noodles in cold broth - ($26) My husband and I love cold noodle broth. This definitely hit the spot. Overall, for 2 people, 3 dishes may be the perfect amount but we love banchan and over ate. Therefore, we narrowly finished the meat. However, we think this was the perfect amount. Also, this is one of the few places that give octopus as a banchan item.

What can I say, 10 Butchers sets the bar for KBBQ. I can no longer go back to cooking my own meats!! The meat quality here is phenomenal when cooked right. Our favorites to get are the flat iron, chuck flap, pork belly, and an order of the japchae. We usually end up with leftovers of the japchae which makes for a tasty snack afterwards. The banchan here is also really good and diverse. You also get some picked onions and scallions to go with your meats. We also always order a Butcha-rita, either Lychee or Mango. If you want a good buzz going, get your own! Otherwise you can share it. The only inconsistency here, which is why I'm knocking down a star, would have to be with their service. If you get a really good server, your experience will be multiplied. The last time we came here, we had the best experience with our server who was extremely attentive and proactive. He cooked our meats perfectly, was on top of our banchan refills, and even brought out a ssamjang and garlic dipping sauce for us to try/use! I've had some prior servers who cooked our meats a bit longer than preferred, as well as weren't very attentive nor proactive. Overall though, this is definitely the best KBBQ restaurant and the only one I'll keep going to. Make sure to make a reservation online to secure your spot!

This was my first time here after having it on my list for years! I've always heard such good things about 10 Butchers. You can make a reservation online. You first have to request the time and then they'll contact you to either confirm the time or give you other options. I managed to make one for Thursday dinner. The banchan came out very quickly. I always love the fish cakes and broccoli. They refill your empty plates too! There was also green onion salad and marinated onions. We did the US Wagyu Brisket 8 oz and the Salt based marinated prime bone in short rib 22 oz. The short rib was definitely very good. It is pricey though! The servers cook the meat for you which is nice. However, it felt a little rushed as we were still eating the meats when they started cooking the next. Coming here would definitely be a treat so I don't expect to be back again any time soon. The interior was nice and sleek. The parking lot gets busy but it wasn't too hard to find a spot during dinner time. Not sure about the weekends though. The staff is accommodating and attentive.

I have been to 10 Butchers several times and usually had a very good experience during each of my visits. My mother-in-law was visiting us, and we decided to take her to this restaurant for a treat. However, I was not satisfied with the service I received today. First, the server told us we couldn't just order one BBQ meat dish for three adults; we had to order a minimum of three. I was surprised to hear this because I have never encountered this policy at a restaurant before. She then said it would be okay to order a minimum of two. Since when did the restaurant require a minimum order of BBQ meat per party? When we asked for to-go boxes, I also asked for another tofu side dish because my son loves it. The server then asked if the tofu was "for here or to go," saying she could only give it to us if we were eating it there. I felt offended that she assumed we were asking for the side dish to take home. Even if we wanted it to go, the side dish is so small that the cost would be negligible. I was disappointed walking out of the restaurant today, even though the food was delicious as usual.

We went here to celebrate my sister's birthday and it was a nice experience. We were greeted and seated immediately. The place has a dark ambiance that gives it a classy look. They have a cocktail display near the entrance which I thought was nice. Food(4/5): The meat was juicy and tender. I think the only issue I had was the pork. It was pretty dry even with the side dishes that came with it. The drinks were pretty good. It was very strong for me cause I'm a lightweight. The dessert they gave us was ice cream and what looks to be choco pie cut in half. Service(5/5): Our server was really nice and attentive! They cooked the meat for us and placed the meat on our dishes. Overall, a nice experience but really expensive.

We had an amazing first experience coming to 10 butchers Korean bbq. We made reservations over the phone for 7:30 a few days prior for our anniversary. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the staff and seated almost immediately. Our server gave us a run down on the overall experience and menu. We ended up ordering wagyu, rib cap, and Galbi Tang. Our server came back with a few extras and banchan which was absolutely delicious. We left full and happy, as our server also provided us with a complimentary desert for our anniversary. The experience was amazing, although packed, we felt that we had a lot of space and enjoyed our time there. We will definitely be back!

Got started with their banchan which featured unique options including mashed ube and some sort of dried fish crisp. I had to try some of their appetizers so we got the seafood pancake and their japchae. Do NOT sleep on their seafood pancake. The exterior was extraordinarily crispy while the interior layers of seafood umami blended with the light vegetable flavors. The japchae was sweet and came with ground beef and tofu for extra flavor and texture. But of course, we are here for the meat and 10 Butchers does not disappoint. 10 Butchers only serves premium meat cuts and lets the natural beef flavors shine on the grill and on your tongue. Their brisket is thinly sliced for a speedy grill and crispy charred crunch. There was a slight sliver of melted beef fats dripping over the meat. The meat itself is packed with tender beef flavor so you really only need a touch of salt to season. The US prime chuck was next and this cut was much thicker than the brisket. This took a bit longer to cook but it was absolutely worth. The chuck meat is so tender I could instantly feel the beef juice bursting out from the first bite. While not as crispy as the brisket, the chuck still retained a crispy charred exterior for a slight crunch. The A5 Japanese wagyu was next and I don't even know why I ever hesitated to spend the money on this. Money is temporary. A5 Wagyu is forever. I could tell from the pristine marbling on this beautiful chunk of meat that this was going to be delicious. The wagyu has a slightly browned sear to the outside. It's hard to believe that this wasn't butter the way that the grilled beef instantly melted in my mouth. This is the perfect balance between tenderness lean beef and juicy beef fat. Finally, we got their marinated pork ribs. This was much better value in terms of amount of food for the price. The ribs were juicy and fatty although some of the pieces were much more tendony and tougher to chew. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and I will definitely be coming back.

What a treat to eat here! The restaurant itself is really nice and clean, and they have an amazing vent system that keeps meat smell to a minimum in the restaurant. The servers really take care of you, and cook all the meat for you expertly. They brought us everything we asked for, from water and tea to lettuce wraps and garl Banchan is all luxurious and delicious. I loved the smoky mushrooms. Rib fingers - this was one of my favorite cuts of meat. Great texture and gets a nice crusty cook. Pajeon - so crispy and delicious. Full of veggies Seafood soondubu - it's nice to have something on the menu for the non-beef eaters, but it's definitely not their core competency.. just ok.

Very good Korean bbq. Almost as good as some of the greats in South Korea, but because it's in the Bay Area, this scratches the itch. This is one of the few places I will come for Korean food. The service is top notch and is worth the 20% tip. The prep, plate and cook everything. We never had to touch the hot plate or separate anything. It's all managed and handled by the staff. Our waitress was very friendly in particular and gave us double ice cream serving and chocopie when they heard it's for a birthday celebration. It is dark inside, so prepare to bring a bit of light if it's hard to see the menu. What I recommend? Everything. I've tried so many items and all of them are fantastic. Nothing disappoints. You just have to come and try it yourself.

The stars here is purely for cleanliness, service and attention, and atmosphere. It's very clean there. Service is top notch. The atmosphere is cool and hip. When we didn't like a cut of meat because it was too fatty, they gave us another cut without charging us extra. The food here is another story. With prices at butchers, I was expecting knock off my socks taste, texture, and quality. It ended up being just normal. There were missing side dishes for bbq that I'm typically used to receiving. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing. I won't return because I care more about the food than ambiance.

I went with friends during lunch on a weekday without a reservation since there was no availability left online. Luckily we did not have to wait and were seated right away. The meat is high quality and the side dishes were really good but be prepared to spend more than your typical KBBQ restaurant. There is a designated server for your table and they cook the meat for you to ensure it's not overcooked.

Amazing KBBQ experience, and one of the best ones I have been to. The short rib was incredible and one of the most flavorful marinated meats I have had in a long time. I like how they cook the meat for you and everything is so tender. The meat is very high quality and the truffle salt that is provided really brings out the flavor. They also have a lot of variety of banchan and those are refilled quickly. My favorite was the kimchi pancake. Even the onions were picked nicely. The food is expensive but that is to be expected for the quality. Parking is in a small plaza which makes it easier.

If you are looking for an elevated kbbq dining experience, make sure to check the is spot out! I got their A5 rib eye, A5 boneless short rib, and brisket. The meats had great marbling and were so delicious. Our server Mimi was so attentive and cooked the meats perfectly! The plaza can get busy so I do recommend coming a bit earlier for parking and also calling beforehand to make a reservation.

One of my favorite date night KBBQ spots in the South Bay. The quality of the food is top notch & the interior is modern & clean. This is not AYCE. The servers cook for us & we never felt rushed by them to eat quickly & move onto the next dish, which I really appreciate. I would recommend booking a reservation in advance otherwise the wait time on weekends can be loooong.

I have been wanting to try 10 Butchers for a while now but couldn't find the time to go. Luckily, we were meeting up with a friend for dinner and the friend was down to meet in Sunnyvale! Perfect! We tried to make reservations for 3 @ 6pm on a Friday through the website but were told that there weren't any reservations available. Instead, we did a walk in right when they opened at 5pm and were seated about 10-15 minutes later. Funny thing is that when we left around 6:30, there were 3-4 tables open that could have accommodated the 3 of us AND there wasn't anyone waiting in the lobby or outside. Oh wells, we got our fix. The service was really good! Our server was patient with us as we explored the menu and before we made our selections. She was skilled at grilling our meats, keeping our side dishes refilled, and being present even with the other tables she had to attend to. My favorite was the A5 Japanese Wagyu ribeye! The pork Jowl was good too but not as crispy as we like it. The Galbi, which our server said is what 10 Butchers is known for, was way too sweet for our liking. The "green onion pancake with octopus" was more of a bell pepper pancake with some octopus (although the batter was fried well and not too doughy). The tendon seaweed soup was super flavorful and delicious! I felt as though for the price point, it's worth it once in a while. Maybe we should have ordered different items but we thought the A5 title or the "10 Butchers specialty" meant something. I would recommend to try though!

4.5 Had reservations to avoid the wait as it was busyyyy. Drinks: - Blackberry Mojito: Good, taste exactly how it's described. Wasn't too strong and more drink - Lychee martini: Alcohol taste was a little stronger than the blackberry imo, but still good if you like lychee. I prefer the blackberry more Meats we ordered: - US Wagyu Chuck Flap : Fav cut out of the meats for the night! Worth it as it was a perfect balance of fatty and meat. Would get again! - US Wagyu Rib Finger: It was good, but did not wow me as much as ^. - Pork Jowl: It was also good, but would probably give the pork belly a try next time. Appetizer: - Nakji Pajeon (korean pancake): It was big, thick, and crispy! I enjoyed the flavors and it was nice to go with the meal. Banchans were provided and those were good. Good variety and presentation. Be sure to mix the onions as theres sauce on the bottom. Place was nice and clean and everything was presented nicely as well! Service was great and smooth! They checked in and cooked the meats in a timely manner. Even plated the korean pancake for us. There was a small complimentary froyo? at the end, which was nice! Looking forward to going again :)

10 butchers has quality meats and spectacular service. It is on the pricier side so it's a great place to go once in a while or for special occasions. They offer a good amount of side dishes to accompany their Korean bbq meats. Also, they offered my son a kids meal (free of charge) that consist of rice, seaweed beef soup, and seaweed. Such a nice gesture! I usually order three types of meat and it's more than enough for my husband and I. High recommend!

I think 4.5 but I will round up to 5. I came here on my birthday two nights ago. My friend made reservations for a party of 8 at 7:30pm. We got seated right away! When you walk in they have all their beautiful cocktails on display. I love all the sides and salads provided as well as the sauces and condiments. They refilled it all for us as well. I really enjoyed the green onion salad! The service here was amazing, the food and meat quality was really good and the wait staff cook everything on the grill for you! Full service. They cook allt he food and cut everything for you. They even poured out the tofu soups to individual bowls for us. This place is a bit pricey, but i think it is worth due the full service they give and the quality of the meats. We ordered a good amount of food: Tofu soup with seafood: tasty! Tofu so nice and soft Tofu soup with beef: Same as above, good amount of beef in it too. Japchae: noodles were perfect with plenty of flavor. Seafood pancake: nice big chunks of seafood and the pancake was crispy Wagyu Briscut: really good! I loved this one the most I think! So delicious. Rib Fingers: I liked this one a lot. It was marinated so the flavor on this was bomb. Wagyu Short Rib: I'm not sure if it was because this was the end and i was full, but this one was only ok to me. They gave me a nice display of dessert and candles for me for my birthday. That was nice. :D

We made a reservation for Saturday at 5 PM, and it was already super packed when we arrived. Definitely make a reservation if you're coming on the weekend or coming for dinner. We ordered the wagyu mandu, the beef kimchi stew, the rib cap, and the boneless short ribs. For a drink I got the lychee martini which was tasty. I liked the spread of banchan and the variety. The mandu were very good with their dipping sauce, it was flavorful and soft. The stew was standard but good. Both meats were also good, I could tell they were of good quality. However, for an upscale place, I felt that the service was a bit lacking. Those at the front desk had a short attitude, and while the servers were nice they were not very attentive. While the price certainly reflects a more upscale kbbq experience, I wasn't really that impressed. The quality of the meats were good, but I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come here if I wanted kbbq. If there were a special occasion, I may come back to try some of their other cuts of meat.
