Korean Restaurants near Castro Valley

“Excellent Korean-style fried chicken from a local spot. We’ve ordered takeout a few times, and are always blown away by the fries, which are the crispiest crunchiest tastiest fries around!
In terms of wings - also delicious and crispy. All 4 flavors are great, though I’ve found some variation in the heat of the “hot” chicken (sometimes pretty mild, sometimes too hot for me).
Sides include “salad” which is more accurately described as a slaw with sauce on the side (but is delicious).
Atmosphere is good for a mainly counter-serve spot. Love the “chicken on fire” legos!“

“Just so everyone knows, This place is a co-kitchen with ramen 101. You cannot order in person. You have to order online and pick up to eat there or to go.I ordered the Three Taco sampler. It came with a lot of meat. Each item tasted pretty good. My favorite was the one with jalapeno sauce.The price is a little high, but I would come back again to try the other items.“

“Forgot to take photos but this place is ahmazing. The kimbab was perfectly rolled. All the ingredients were fresh and in right proportions.
I got the spicy beef and it was very tasty. My partner got the LOR and he loved it also. Also, it’s a lot of food. We had to take half to go.
The lady was super nice and got us an extra treat at the end. Definitely coming back.“

“AMAZING. SO SO GOOD. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, with generous portions and very well priced, but the owner was so incredibly kind, funny, and sweet. They were able to seat us, a party of 8, so last minute and made us laugh the entire time! We had such an amazing time here, and will be come back!!!“

“Food here is so yum. Place is small and clean w/ friendly staff. It's a self-seeking restaurant so you order at a kiosk and they'll bring out the food on a counter and you get your own disposable utensils/cups/trays. The price is really good, especially since I feel like good quality Korean restaurants tend to be $17+ a dish but here everything is pretty much either $13 or $14 which is really good. The portions don't LOOK huge but my two friends and I were full w/ some leftovers afterwards. We got the vegetarian jajangmyeon, rose tteokbokki, and soy sauce Korean fried chicken. All were very yummy and I recommend. Definitely want to come back here and eat more!“

“I ordered the kimbap, Bulgogi Plate, and tteokbokki. Each dish was sizable and very filling. The Tteokbokki was hot to handle so be careful. Their restaurant is small and doesn't have in door seating but out door seating is fine in these summer days. The kimbap I enjoyed very much but wish there was some sauce to pair up. The bulgogi plate was massive and definitely can be shared.“

“We went on a Sunday night, it was around 7:45pm when people had already dined and were leaving. We were immediately seated and greeted by their friendly staff! They have those little side dishes called bon chan and my favorite was the marinated potato. The bus boy was so good, kept checking in on us and super kind! I would totally go back. Service was excellent, food was pretty good and restaurant atmosphere is good for casual dining.“

“Korean fusion street food where nothing on the item is over $10?? In this economy?? Sign us up!! 🥪🍚✨

@ricejunky.usa in Fremont is a take-out only spot that you can definitely get a bang for your buck! A great place for a quick grab and go, but still enjoying a high-quality meal. Everything is delicious we seriously recommend trying it all.

“I went with a colleague and this was my first visit. I did enjoy that the spoon and chopsticks were wrapped. I had the mul nagmeun and my co-worker had the bulgogi stew. Both were good. We also had the steamed mandoo, which were delicious and a hearty portion. The banchan was good. Thumbs up!“

“Han Yang is a great place to sit down for dinner and enjoy some truly delicious Korean food. One thing I always note about a restaurant is the patronage and Han Yang appeared to host a largely local Korean community of diners and to me that signals authenticity. And the food shows it- the selection of banchan is delectable and meat are delicious and perfectly marinated (recommending dwegi bulgogi or kalbi). I appreciated that you could get the meats cooked at your table or in the kitchen... I left it up to the chef and everything was prepared to perfection. I also tried and loved the seafood pancake and bibim nangmyeon. We were also greeted by warm and attentive service. I felt at home eating here. I recommend giving this place a try because it may be my favorite local spot for Korean food now. Thank you!“

“We love finding hidden gems 💎, and @gangnamtofuhouse is definitely one in the city of Fremont!

They have the best banchan selections and everything is made from scratch so you know you’ll be getting a homey meal. We’ve never had bulgogi in our tteokbokki before and now we can’t think of having it any other way! It’s a small cosy restaurant

All the dishes were super comforting and the service is quick and friendly. You’ll be full, but leave wanting more because we definitely can’t wait to come back to try the other items!

They are also sister restaurant to @chachacha_fremont which is right next door so you can grab boba and dessert after. The best pairing and place to go so you don’t have to think of what to do next!

“Tang's Haus was a lonely, authentic Korean restaurant that guy a spot I didn't know I needed. The side dishes that came with our meal were bangers. I especially liked the kimchee and the cucumber salad. For the main dish I ordered the knee tendon soup, which had chunks of gelatinous cartilage with a nice chewy texture. My friend and I also ordered the kimchee jeon, which I thought had a great crunchy texture.
That being said, we left especially stuffed, so depending on how hungry you are, you might need a to go box for leftovers.“

“Nice hidden gem, legit Korean cuisine. All the locals know about this spot. Good eats, good prices, good service. They give many banchan items, I got half Daeji Bulgogi + Dak Gui (Spicy Pork + Grilled Chicken) and Seafood Pancake. Also pictured is Combo with Bulgogi + Soondubu Jjigae (Spicy Beef + Soft Tofu Stew. DEFINITELY give it a try, they don't disappoint“

“Great food ! Wings are definitely meh if you’re expecting Korean fried chicken level wings. This is not a Korean fried chicken place. Also had a bibimbap bowl - highly recommend it. Problem is place is a bit pricey - if your a hearty eater like me expect to pay 40$+ (per person)“

“The Korean fried chicken was delicious. The staff was a big help. They helped me pick out a good bottle of cold sake.“

“Entrance is on the parking lot side, not the street side.

Lots of parking and seating. Great for groups and families.

We’ve been here on two occasions and had the mandu, chives and jalapeño pancake, tofu soup, bulgogi, and spicy pork.

Staff were very kind and hard working.“

“I am glad that they are located in Montclair. They have a clean store with good selection of items. Great customer service!“

“The food is always great, but HUGE shoutout to Diego for his service! We came in with a larger party, and Diego helped arrange the tables to accommodate us, checked in frequently in case we needed anything, and treated us to baked goods towards the end. He went above and beyond for us, and we felt very taken care of. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Ordered some wings (garlic soy) and plain with a couple of hot sauces, bulgogi fries, and the gangjung. I enjoyed most of the choices but found that the unsauced wings with dipping sauces were better than the others which were a bit too sweet. Chicken was nice and crunchy while not being too dry. The gangjung was solid. The bulgogi fries were straight fire though damn. We ordered eggs with our fries because eggs, and while they added to the fries, we wish they were runny eggs rather than fried to hard yolks, it definitely would be better as such.“

“I came here, thinking it was Japanese food, but it blew me out of water when we tasted the quality of food, the kindness of the host the atmosphere
He deserves gold medal for how nice and kind to customers not just us. I know it was the same to all the other patrons.
Especially
The food pictures doesn’t do justice versus the taste fresh meat first serve quality food. I recommend this place.“

“Man, this spot just started serving bubble tea! I grabbed the Thai tea with boba today, and it’s seriously good. Highly recommend it. The flavor’s legit. Service is on point, and everything’s made fresh. Hands down, my go-to fried chicken joint in the Bay Area!“
