Stumbled upon Jang Su Jang the other day and decided to try it out for date night this weekend!
Food: For our appetizer, we got the Spicy Rice Cakes and it was delicious. It comes with rice cakes, flat fish cakes, a red curry, a shrimp tempura skewer, pot stickers, and some noodles all the way at the bottom. This dish was so good! I was extremely impressed with the flavor. My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Teriyaki (best Chicken Teriyaki I've ever had) and it came with a bunch of sides. We tried each one and they were all also very tasty. I especially liked the noodles and potatoes that came as a side. We also got a soup with the Chicken Teriyaki and it was phenomenal. For my entrée, I ordered the Yookgejang Kalguksoo (spicy beef soup with hand cut noodles). Out of everything we ordered, this was our least favorite dish of the night, but it was still good! For dessert, we got the Choco Temptation and it was a super light-weight, hazelnut and chocolate cream cake with a thin wafer in it. It was SO delicious! Highly recommend ordering it if you have a sweet tooth and room for dessert. The portion sizes are also very generous, so come hungry or prepare take a lot of food to go!
Service: The service was probably the biggest letdown of the night. It seemed like they were understaffed, so we were not too bothered by the long wait times, but we did not love how rushed everything was when they did come to our table. At the very end of dinner we asked for boxes for our leftovers and the waitress was very rushed with pouring in our leftovers into the box and spilled a lot of it onto the table and all over the box. Instead of giving us a new box for our food, she sloppily wiped it (there were many food stains all over the outside of the box) and walked away. I was a little grossed out by this experience and wish we could have gotten a new clean box since we still had to touch it to put it in the bag and she had used our napkins to wipe up the table. This was a bummer because the food definitely deserves 5 stars.
Atmosphere: Cute simple interior. Jang Su Jang is very spacious which I liked because I didn't feel like we were too close to any other tables. They were playing football on one of the walls in the restaurant which I felt took away from the elegance of the restaurant a little bit (didn't really match the vibe haha) but I like watching football so I didn't mind.
