“I recently dined at this incredible Korean restaurant, and it exceeded all my expectations.I indulged in their signature dishes, the jjajangmyeon and rose tteokbokki, and let me tell you, they were a culinary revelation! The jjajangmyeon boasted rich, flavorful sauce coating perfectly cooked noodles, while the rose tteokbokki added a delightful twist to a classic favorite.Overall, this restaurant is a gem that deserves every bit of praise. Whether you're a Korean food aficionado or simply craving an unforgettable dining experience, this place is an absolute must-visit. I can't wait to return and explore more of their tantalizing menu offerings!“

“Service: for a busy Saturday, the servers are multitasking with taking orders, cleaning, getting the bill, and delivering orders from the kitchen. Yet they still managed to wipe down the high chair when we requested one. That's a first! They were also friendly and checked in to see if everything is okay. Food: everything was great. For those who like a bit of a crisp rice bottom on their stone bibimpap, they got it here. There's also a cute mini gochujang sauce bottle on the side so you can decide how much to add. The seafood pancake had a lot of squid in it, and very crispy fresh without feeling over greasy. Ambiance: not much going on. Some tvs broadcasting old kpop on loop. Definitely a lot of Koreans eating here so you know it's good.“

“The first time I had Rice Junky was actually at their second location in Santa Clara. I'm an East Bay fella so South Bay is a little bit of a reach for me. I've been having cravings for Rice Junky lately so I decided to check out their Fremont location. First off just want to note that this location is take out only. It's a pretty small spot. BUT that doesn't take away from the fact that the food is so so dam good! It was everything that I remembered and loved from the first time I had Rice Junky. At first, looking at the bowl. I was like "oh man, they give you less chicken here." Nope, I was absolutely wrong. Under that top layer of chicken was much more yummy sauced up chicken! Rice Junky is great, The bowl is fantastic. Portion is just right, slightly above average actually. Little pricey, but honestly with inflation nowadays. Food everywhere is expensive so meh. I just wished they stayed open later like their Santa Clara location. I gotta try all their other items. Only been loyal to the CC bowl so far. But the bowl is dam good!“

“So ecstatic to have a Seolleongtang place not too far away. This is great for any occasion but especially perfect for cold or rainy days, the soup will just warm you up.The menu is pretty straight forward, mostly soups but you can also get a few other types of dishes like galbijim here. You can't really go wrong with any of the soups here, but there is a distinct difference with Seolleongtang and the galbitang. The main difference between them is whether ox bone has been used. Galbitang is a clear beef soup made by boiling galbi--while seolleongtang is beef bone soup made by boiling the shank, the head and other scraps of bone until the broth turns milky white. The seolleongtang will also come unseasoned and you can add salt/pepper to your taste while the galbitang will come seasoned.Their side dishes are also delicious, I particularly love their kimchi, pairs perfectly with the seolleongtang.There are plenty of tables and the service is great, highly recommend if you're looking for a nice warm soup!“

“This place has been one of my all time favorite Korean bbq spots. We especially loved it when they had the AYCE buffet back in the day. We loved this place so much, we even booked out the entire restaurant for our wedding rehearsal dinner a few years back! (Owners: If you're reading this, please bring back the AYCE!). Food is still great, but having just a set menu sucks. And prices have steadily crept up too. Dinner for 2 is now $65 for the combo that is similar to their AYCE option. Tried their new fried chicken wings. It was hot and crispy. But I definitely did not need to add that $20 to my bill. The food in the combo was more than enough to get you full.“

“One of the best hidden gems in the neighborhood. You will definitely missed it if you don’t look for it. This Gangnam Tofu House is located in a small mall at the end of the Thornton Avenue. Owner and staff are super friendly and food is always good. If you can’t take too spicy, ask them to tone it down to your level and enjoy. I have been here many times and will go again.“

“Lovely little restaurant with the most attentive staff and delicious food. I got some crispy Yang-nyum chicken and it was heavenly. Best Korean fried chicken place I’ve ever been to. The owners are so friendly and make the entire experience so much “

“a true Korean food. the best bibimbop“

“A favorite spot of mine. Love the Gangjung Fried Chicken. It's great value for $17 for a massive amount of chicken. Can easily be two meals. If you like gochujang based dishes, this is for you! The chicken is drenched in a sweet and mildly spicy sauce that I love though it might be too sweet for some. The chicken is fairly crispy, though it'll lose some of its crisp as it sits out. That being said they probably double fry it in good batter cause it stays more crispy longer than other fried chicken I've had. I'd say about 30% of the chicken is pretty tough or maybe overcooked which is a little disappointing but overall love it. The location is rough, deep in the Tenderloin. Some people on drugs pretty close by. It's a hole in the wall (literally). There's no seating and you order online. I'd recommend DoorDashing if you don't have a car.“

“So good! We were pleasantly surprised at how good it was! Great flavor, lean and tender meat, and fresh ingredients. The short rib meat was so juicy and tender and the koja patties were crunchy and had a great texture. It was a bit hard to eat all together so I just used a fork. My husband got the chicken bowl combo and really liked it. He did wish there was a sauce or the sesame vinaigrette from my sandwich on his lettuce. The chicken was also flavorful, tender, and lean. I was impressed that the meat wasn't fatty like how it normally is at Asian places. We will be back for sure!“

“Tried this restaurant for the first time! Foods are so good...highly recommend this Korean restaurant�“
