The food was fine here, but the whole meal was ruined for me (still thinking about it) this restaurant charges a 20% secret charge on the whole meal (they don't explain the breakdown) and then it comes with an agressive note that "this fee is mandatory and is not a tip". Now look - I'm in the city, I get it - there are 5%-6% SF health mandate charges - it's cool I support that - people should have health care. But not saying anything about a 20% charge, and then slamming it on when the bill comes is just like.... fraud. Like I said, food is fine - but had a bad taste in my mouth for stuff like that. I'm also cool with mandatory tips for party sizes or otherwise if you advertise it before. So just go into the meal knowing that and you'll be good.

20% mandatory service charge that isn’t a tip. Ended paying $100 over the bill for the service charge and tip. It’s outrageous.

Terrible- so not worth the money. Upon receiving the $660 bill for 4 people, there was a note in the billfold that read “we have added a 20% charge, however this is not gratuity.” We asked the waitress who told us she just learned about this that evening, and confirmed, she doesn’t get any of the 20% fee. In other words to give a tip to the well deserved waitress, we were expected to leave an additional 20%. Incredibly lame. Stay away from this place. Ripoff.

We stopped into Jang's before a concert at the SF Symphony and were pleasantly surprised. While we expected Korean food, it was Asian-inspired with more of a Korean twist. The only choice was the tasting menu @ 85/per person with the option of a beverage pairing @ 55/per. You could add additional courses to the meal for 18+, and there is a 20% service fee included in the final bill. We started with an oyster with a pickled strawberry and spicy jue, and ended with the wagu steak (added the pork). All said, it was a filling and tasty 6-8 courses with a mix of surf and turf. We were the second party seated for dinner and chose to sit at the chef's counter. We got to see the prep and presentation as the courses came out. Each course was nicely presented and explained by the server, and we were sad we had to rush through the meal a bit to make our show time.

Lovely meal with very interesting and tasty food. Some really different combinations that worked very well. Staff was very attentive. Important to note that really the only thing available is the tasting menu (just a few items as additions, but not an a la carte option).
