We came here and luckily got seated right away. Apparently they get pretty packed. I guess we came just in time!We ordered the ja jang myun [black bean noodles], garlic chicken wings, salt and pepper fish, and fried tofu. The ja jang myun was really good. Definitely deserves all the rave reviews. The tofu was decent. I like how it was crispy on the outside and soft tofu on the inside. It uses a dipping sauce and therefore there was no actual taste to the tofu. I'd prefer if there was some salt or something. The fish was definitely not salty enough. There was also a lot of dough on it. Probably the least favorite dish of the night. The chicken wings were awesome.Will definitely come back to get more ja jang myun and try their other spicy soup noodle. 4 STARS!

This review is specifically only concerning jjang-bong and jang jang myun.I love these two and finding good restaurants are hard but I think I found the place!Jjang-bong: Seafood is very good, not overly cooked. Most of the seafood in jjang-bong are too cooked and the texture always tend to be rubbery. Also, for those who love spicy food it's not very spicy (fyi, I have high spice tolerance) but the broth still taste good. The noodles are alright. It tends to lose its' chewiness because of the hot broth it's in. Overall, the jjang-bong at "Tisng Tao" (on Campbell) is better.Jang-jang myun: I love the noodles. It's somewhat al dente which is the way I like it. The sauce is quite watery and not thick enough but has good amount of flavor. Often times, many restaurants tends to always be bland but it's not the case here. However, I feel like there's less add-ins like cabbage, onions, and meat in the sauce. I think if I ever want jang-jang myun I probably would come here.Cabbage Kimchi: This place serves not napa but cabbage. Usually I hate cabbage kimchi because many places serve it weird with non-traditional kimchi sauce and tends to be more vinagery. However, I actually really like the kimchi and ate two plates by myself of just kimchi.Service: Typical Asian service. They're quick and if you ask for something they'll get it for you but don't expect overly friendly waitresses serving you.Price: 2 jang jang myun and 1 jjang-bong= around $28?Parking: Sucks

Had the jjajangmyun, a cucumber sea food salad, tang soo yook, and grilled shrimp. Everything was really good. I accidentally ate the shrimp without peeling it but almost didn't even notice because it was so delicious. I just thought, "oooh, nice crunch texture.' The cucumber sea food salad was really refreshing, nicely balancing out the heavier dishes. Try to come in a group or get your parents to take you so you can order family style and stuff yourself with multiple dishes :D

My family has been coming here forever. This place and Tsing Tao in campbell are the only two places my family consistently go to for Korean-style Chinese food. We get takeout more often than eating at the restaurant. We always get the jjajangmyun/black bean sauce noodles (though I like the jjajangmyun at Tsing Tao better), the tangsuyuk (I think this in English would be sweet & sour beef - its like fried beef in a sweet sauce with pineapples) and the Mongolian beef. Sometimes we change it up and also get the kkan-pung-gi/sweet fried chicken which is also really yummy and the mushu pork (ask for extra pancakes).

Went here a couple of days ago with a friend for dinner after searching for a place to have black bean noodles(Jjajangmyeon) in the area. I was craving some since I haven't had it in a couple years. I use to travel from Vallejo to Oakland just to get some!Since the plates were ala carte, my friend and I decided to order a couple of plates to share. We ended up getting the house fried rice, black bean noodles, and the chicken wings. It was funny because I guess the lady knew we have never been there and already knew that we wanted to get the chicken wings!The food was excellent as well as the customer service...it's the little things that count. Will definitely be back here again with some more people!

Drove by this place with my coworkers a few times and we finally went for lunch. You get a lot of food for lunch. If we ordered 3 lunch specials, we would have been good for the 4 of us. The lunch value is very good and the taste isn't too bad. We made the mistake or ordering multiple chicken dishes. All of the chicken dishes started to taste the same. The part I didn't like about this place is the service. The waitress seemed to jack the plates wherever she could. She was very rude and I felt rushed by her. She tried to take away a full plate of food when we were eating. The service made it an unpleasant experience. Overall, the food is okay, the value for was good and the service was lousy. I did glance at the dinner menu and some dishes looked overly expensive and I didn't see any good deals like the lunch menu.

I'm in love with this place :) The food is delicious, the wait time is close to nothing, and the staff are all very friendly! Try their chinese chicken salad or their fried chicken... SO BOMB :)

Loved the won ton soup and the customer service was great, but the food didn't seem out of this world (except the chopsticks)! The chopsticks were a surprise because they sike you to thinking it's your typical disposable wooden chopsticks but VOILA!!!! They are not wood, they look more like silverware and they ting when you tap them together!The combination rice was pretty average and didn't stick out to my taste buds. The chicken broccoli was basic, I prefer mines saucy and the chicken chow fan (fun?) was just that.Prices are higher than the typical Chinese restaurants.

Recommend: Tong Soon Chicken, Dry Cooked String Beans (with Ground Pork)Overall, the food was definitely delicious, but on the greasy side. Would definitely come back! Also tried the Tong Soon Fried Rice, Ja Jang Mien,Eggplant with Garlic Sauce (with Ground Pork)

This small restaurant on the El Camino is easy to miss. Park around back.Once inside we were given very good treatment by the staff.SamplingKung Pao Beef - tender meat, mild not that spicy. Chili pods were present, but unless you bite one there is no heat.Potstickers - crispy exterior, flavorful filling and good texture.BBQ Pork Fried Rice - delightful appearance and consistent flavor. Could have more pork.Beef chow mein - tender meat, noodles have good chewy texture.Tong Soon Chicken - abundant marinated, wok fried strips of chicken with a light glaze. Pretty good.

Dishes are so so.Friends told me they served north China dishes.When I got there and saw the menu, they are actually like other American Chinese restaurant.Also, the waiter there are not professional at all.They keep rushing us to leave while it is only 9:30PM.I will never go there again.

Hmmm... went here for the first time for lunch today. Was not blown away. Don't get me wrong; it's not terrible. But it's not great either.Got the chicken with broccoli. It was OK. A little salty and soggy, but edible.Because it was the day before Thanksgiving, they gave us some oranges, which was nice. But then the minute we stood up to get ready to leave, they couldn't have been more excited to hustle us out of there?

Back when I was a little girl, my mom would take me and my sisters to a Korean-Chinese restaurant in San Jose. Once in a while we'd get jjajangmyun or tahngsooyuk, but what I always craved was the chicken fried rice. Huge chunks of chicken, wonderful flavor in the rice... it's the only thing I wanted and gobbled it up with the Chinese-style cabbage kimchi.Soon afterwards, I moved to Texas. But the taste of that fried rice haunted me, and I tried in vain to all of the hole-in-the wall, dirty Chinese restaurants who could replicate the fried rice perfection I had as a child. And I was never able to find it.Even when I moved back to the East Bay, I tried every Chinese restaurant within a 3 mile radius to see how their chicken fried rice would stack up (that, and I just love Chinese food). None of them ever did.Imagine my delight when my fiance-at-the-time's mom took him and me to a Korean-Chinese restaurant. They told me this location used to actually be another larger Korean-Chinese restaurant elsewhere, but moved to this smaller location. I had a glimmer of hope, and took a risk by ordering the chicken fried rice. And when I put that first bite into my mouth, I knew I was home.I may give this place 5 stars because of the sentimentality of the chicken fried rice (which, btw, my cousin from Atlanta tried it and said it was the BEST chicken fried rice she's ever had. And she's a chef, #justsayin). But this place does ohhhhh so much more than chicken fried rice. I do agree with other reviews that their jjajangmyun and jjambbong is mediocre (they have some good nights, and some really bad ones). Then don't order them. I will tell you what to order.1. Chicken fried rice. HELLO! What has this whole review been about? The hubs and I were trying to figure out how they make it the way they do, and we concluded that they use a LOT of butter and MSG.2. Tahngsooyuk. It's pretty good. Not the best ever, but will satisfy your TSY craving3. I don't remember what it's called, but it's like a jelly moo (radish), cold tossed salad with hot mustard dressing. It comes in a HUGE platter, so only order with a large group4. Ggang poong oh jing oh (deep fried squid). It's #16 (I think) in the all-Korean menu on the back. Strips of squid deep fried in batter, tossed in sweet and salty sauce with peppers and vegetables. This is legit, I'm telling you5. There is a fish dish that I've never gotten, but looks amazing. It's a whole fish laid out in a huge platter, covered in an ocean of brown sauce. I'm sure if you describe it to the waitresses, they'll know what you're talking about. I've only heard great things about it.Honorable mentions1. Sweet and spicy chicken wings (I don't know the official name)2. Mapo tofu3. Eat jjajangmyun and jjambbong at your own risk. I've had meh experiences for both4. Matang. This is a sweet potato / potato dish that's served as a dessert. There are very few places that I've seen that actually sell this (the only other places I've seen it was one place in Houston that was nasty, and China. It could be that I just missed the other restaurants, but whatever). It's cubed, crisped (sweet) potatoes drizzled in hot honey. You take a fork and pick one up, dip it in ice-cold water so the honey solidifies, and then eat! The honey gets crunchy and the potatoes are still hot and soft. Mmm, what a treat. After a while, it does get pretty sweet, so order with friends and share the wealth!This is and will always be my go-to place for dirty Korean-Chinese food. I mean, you go there any given night and it's filled with Koreans or Chinese (or both). I think that's saying something. Plus, the waitresses have been working there for like 30 years, and are like second moms to you. And the fried rice of yesteryear! How much more convincing do you need?

Tong Soon is another reason why I don't like using Yelp. How does this place have 4 stars? So disappointed. After reading so many great reviews, I expected more but instead we got watered down jajang myun (black bean sauce noodles). The sauce tasted good, but was so runny. It seemed like they made a good sauce, and decided to double the quantity by diluting it with water. Yuck.It wasn't the worst Chinese food I've had but definitely not worth coming back for.Tsing Tao in Campbell was the best until the chef left. Now the only time I get good jajang myun is when I go back to Portland.If anyone finds out where the original Tsing Tao chef moved to, please message me.

Finally, I've found a place in the south bay that serves decent Korean-Chinese food. The gan jjajang and kanpoonggi were pretty good. The flavor of the kanpoonggi was spot on, but I think they could have added a bit more sauce. The jjambbong could use some work as it tasted watered down and was not spicy enough.Service was informative and friendly.So far, the best K-C I've had in the South Bay area, but that's not saying a whole lot considering the alternatives.

This place has the best Jjambong and Jjajang in town, now that a few other restaurants are gone. For Jjambong I get it it extra spicy, and for Jjajang I like the spicy Gan Jjajang, although sometimes there are too many peppers. When I get to go, I go for one spicy and one not spicy, then mix them together. Perfect.Everything else is good too, Tang Soo Yook, Gganpoongi, etc. best Chinese/Korean place in town!

Food is great! I love their prawns/shrimp item and also the black bean noodles!Service could use a bit more warmth and friendliness.Otherwise food is GREAT!

Since my sister loves all things Korean, after a trip to the Korean market and bakery, she took us to this restaurant. We ordered jajangmyun (black bean noodles), chaomamien (spicy seafood noodle), and spicy garlic fried chicken. The food is the perfect fusion of Korean-Chinese food. They were all pretty delicious. The portions were all pretty big and totally share-able! And we were able to bring some home.If you don't want to park on the street, they do have a small (and when I say small, I mean TINY) parking lot in the back. It makes me wonder how some of these cars even got into those spaces... Service was very quick and friendly. They did come over a lot to chat with us - probably because they were awed by the fact that me and my sister are twins and we also have twin brothers. (Guess that fact awes a lot of people.)

Was in the mood for jajangmien so decided to try a new restaurant. We went for a late lunch at 1:30pm and the restaurant was packed but we were seated right away. I was very impressed by the bilingual staff. They were friendly too!We got jajangmien (black bean sauce noodle), chaomamien (spicy seafood noodle), and liangbanbi (cold & hot combination platter).My all time fave jajangmien restaurant is tsing tao in campbell but I would have to say the jajangmien here is pretty good as well. The sauce was tasty, less sweet, and it was less oily too. Tong Soon Garden's jajangmien is second best. Not many restaurants make it to the list =P The chaomamien is better at tsing-tao though...more flavor in the soup. We really like the liangbanbi. The mustard was spicy but oh-so-good! We didn't know this dish was 20 bucks though! haha =)All in all, I am a fan of Tong Soon Garden. Will have to bring my family here.

I've been craving for the brown sauce noodles (Cha-jang myun) for quite sometime. When meeting long time school friends I haven't met with in 15 years, I didn't know I would be in for a big surprise. My friend told me the restaurant is both Korean/Chinese. I arrived a little early which meant I had to park my car in the back street lot and was feeling a bit iffy about having to park in such a isolated area.I walked in with my friend greeting me, I joined another friend at the table and ordered 3 individual dishes. One, "Cha-jang myun", the brown sauce noodles which I would HIGHLY recommend, "Tang su yuk", sweet sour and crispy beef and "Jjampong", hot seafood soup were the dish we ordered with Soju on the side.Conversing over topics of school days in the past, I couldn't fully pay attention to the flavor of the food but I had such a craving for the "Cha-jang myun" I just gulped it up. It was delicious!!! The sweet, sour and crispy beef was a good complement with the noodles and soju. The waiter was prompt in his service and kept watching to see if he needed to clear the table, I thought both the Korean and the Chinese servers very helpful and genuine. The restaurant was not at all fancy in its decor but the food was tasteful and authentic, I definitely recommend this place.

this is a chinese/korean affair. The cuisine is chinese food cooked in korean style. Basically by families who escaped to korea during japanese occupation..a chinese korea fusion if you will. Most westerners will not know the difference but ...?

This place has the best Chinese Chicken Salad. I suggest going for luch so you can get a better deal. Some of their dishes are a bit heavy, so heads up if you want a light meal. ...?
