many second generation korean-americans have this misconception that dishes they grew up with such as jjajangmyuhn (black bean paste noodles) or jjambbong (spicy seafood soup noodles) are korean or at best "korean-chinese." well, they belong to the genre of chinese food that is most popular in korea, which is _northern_ chinese cuisine; but in the end they're pretty "sino" in _origin_. you can say this: there's quite a difference between _taiwanese_ jiajiangmien (the taiwanese version of the dish) and the kind beijingnese kind you find in these "korean-chinese" joints, but they share a common origin from some time in history.
anyway, this restaurant, which is really called "yeitnal jjajang" (old-fashioned jjajang), started in berkeley/oakland back when my wife and i lived there. we loved the origin location and were kind of sad when we moved out of berkeley back to the silicon valley, which is america's _real_ heartland. anyway, to our pleasant surprise, the owners of yeitnal jjang (aka zazang, aka zazang's) opened more locations. i believe they have their original location on the oakland/berkeley border, a location in s.f., a location in cupertino, and a location in santa clara in the el camino real neighbourhood that some young asian-americans have dubbed "k-town" (koreatown).
the cupertino location used to be a pizzeria and stands out from the others as they also serve pizza along side those beijingnese, "korean-chinese" favorites. they even make "kimchi pizza" (pizza with the famous, korean pickled cabbage) for you. the santa clara location does _not_ serve pizza though.
all the locations including this one have great, great, great service and great, great, great food. obviously, the jjajangmyuhn (black bean paste/sauce noodles) are great. the jjambbong (aka, jjambong, i.e. spicy, seafood noodle soup) is also great. well, this is a really gourmet place but more of a quick bite, but they have other great food.
this location as well as the cupertino one have nice outdoor seating, but i'd prefer not to mention that because i'm afraid you'll steal my favourite spot!

I bought my girlfriend a diamond necklace here. Upon entering, I pretty much knew what I wanted and the employee showed me what I was looking for. Their selection was decent and I was able to find the right necklace in short order. They have a cleaning service which is nice. They also include a cert for the diamond itself. While the necklace was on sale (as jewelry in most of these places usually are), I still felt they could've come down a bit more on the price. But one cannot put a price tag on love, and she was blown away by her gift.
Pros: friendly staff
Cons: bit pricey

We've been going to this place for more than 15 years and I guess I have to admit that I am addicted to it. The flavors are wonderful and the toppings delicious. The portions are like nothing you've ever seen and the line moves quickly.
Owned by a lovely man from Iran, he takes so much pride in his business that it shows in the number of people going in and out of the door during the day. The repeat customers speak for the consistency and value of the product.
When you're looking for a low-calorie treat, this is the place to go. You won't believe something this rich and creamy can be non-fat.
I give it my highest recommendation.

The dining area is small, so the wait time is a bit long, but is definitely worth the wait. The nigiris are the best- high quality and fresh! This place is by far the best sushi restaurant in the bay area. PERIOD.

Another one of those out of the way places, Yuki Sushi has all of the traditional Japonese favorites, fresh seasonal sushi, bento boxes, udon and katsu dishes. The menu is large and lots of variety. In fact, you can pick and choose different combos in a bento box. Pricing is reasonable at $8-12 for lunch entrees and $2-4 for individual sushi. Prices and portions increase slightly for the dinner menu.

Overall, the quality of the food was good. My client and I ordered noodle soup dishes along with a couple sushi plates. The noodle soup was good and the noodles were fresh and light. The soup camp burning hot. Nice touch as at least you can wait for the heat to dissipate vs. getting luke warm soup and having to woof it down before it goes cold.
The spider roll I ordered was large and costly ($9). My client's sushi roll (forgot what it was, some sort unagi roll) was good and more moderately priced for the size.

I went ordered through the drive-through window. I ordered the beef with vegetables & chicken combo which includes the drink and a side. The beef was strings of sliced fat, I couln't find a piece of real beef there, and there was an awful odor to the beef that smelled light it was going bad. The rice was very soggy and so were the vegetables, (which I didn't get very many of). I ased for hot sauce and I was given 2 little envelopes with powder "chili"?. By the way, they didn't include my side which was suppose to be a cheese cake. My total was $8.30 what a waste! I DO NOT recommend this place located in Santa Clara, CA to anyone.
