Came here with some friends right before their happy hour ended but Gina was so nice and decided to honor it for us anyhow! She also brought us soooo many bonchons (note you do have to order an entree for bonchons) We ordered a lot of food which did take some time to trickle out but we understand as Gina seems to be the only server that night. Korean pancake - 4.5/5 I loved this one cause it was thick and very crispy. My friend did say she prefers the pancake at Sisters House tho because it's thinner there Tofu soup - 3.5/5 it was a lil underwhelming and not salty enough and I feel it was missing a little depth of flavor. My friend and I both prefer the tofu soup at Sisters House BBQ Pork Sizzling Platter - wasn't very well charred. I don't usually get sizzling platters but the ones at Sisters House is better The fried chicken - 4.5/5 very good! I liked the crispiness of the chicken and inside was juicy. You do have to pay extra $2 for flavoring or for it to be crispy so keep that in mind. We did dip this into our tteokbokki/sausage sauce which Gina recommended Tteokbokki/sausage skewers - 3/5 I thought it was just okay for the price of what it was lol. I don't love the sausage but the tteokbokki did have a nice lil crisp to it on the outside but with that familiar chew once you get to the center

This place is legit crazy expensive ... One tofu soup and a half and half Korean fried Chicken order. That is all we've ordered . Total comes out to be $75 tax and tip included As you can see, it does come with a lot of side dishes and they are very tasty so when calculating the cost into making the small side dishes it makes sense why the cost is so high. Customer service is good. Just be prepared so you're not surprised when the bill comes in. If your account for $40 a person for dinner at this location you will definitely be happy. I am surprised to find how much this place charge it is definitely much higher than I have originally expected. Yes it is a little cold ... But that is because you're sitting on the other side of the restaurant. Some other review have complained the restaurant is too cold but they did not take into an account that this is also a Korean barbecue restaurant on the other side where they have to keep it cool because you do have basically a fire pit in the middle of the table. Overall experience is good just not so sure it was really worth that much price.

Wanted to escape traffic, so I hit the back streets. While blindly navigating I noticed this spot sitting on the corner. I was undecided on what to eat, so I figured it must have been in the stars for me to eat here today. The staff was very pleasant, and super attentive. The food was delicious, the sides were so good. It literally brought back memories of when I spent a total of 3 years in Korea. I definitely have to add this place on my list of foodie spots.

They have great food at a fair price. Service can be a little slow. Had to ask multiple times for rice and water.

After this experience, I never want to try Korean BBQ again, that is how BAD this experience was. This was honestly the worst service I have ever received anywhere. I always want to support Hayward businesses, but this was disappointing. Extremely rude waitress. It got to the point where the waitress had gotten into my face after telling her we want to leave (we were extremely uncomfortable and upset) and we also offered to pay as the food had already came out. She made us feel unwelcome, and got extremely irritated with us when asking questions, this was our first time for Korean BBQ. “I’m Vegetarian!!!” Is what she told us so aggressive, slamming her hands on the table, after asking her what she recommends. After explaining to her, nicely (my partner has been in the service industry and we both are understanding) that our order was wrong, when she brings out our food, she gets furious at us, walks away as we are talking, comes back with the menu and slams it on the table. A rude waitress with a mask. Please go somewhere else, with the rising costs of living and raising of prices in restaurants, it is NOT worth it here.

Good Korean fried chicken, but rather expensive .... for fried chicken ... but it's tough out there, so you have to charge what you have to charge to stick around... Speaking of sticky ... this is some sticky stuff! We ordered regular fried, and a sweet /Spicy style. Both were delicious. As for service, We took our chicken to go, but the ladies at the counter were polite, professional ... and adorable.

Easy grilling, meat was good and full of flavor, service was attentive (slow Sunday afternoon)
Really great find. Grilling Korean BBQ at your table and the ability to eat Korean Fried Chicken?! Sauces were good, sides were fresh and tasty. The meat marinades for the grill were great too. Service was efficient and friendly. Overall a really great experience.

I went to celebrate my birthday in this place with high expectations.The food was good and it arrived more or less quickly. But since we arrived, the waitress who took care of us was very rude. When they came to take our order, my husband asked some questions about the food and the same waitress yelled at my husband, even she took off her mask and got closer to him screaming louder, "trying to solve her doubt"When he brought the food, he practically threw the dishes and got between us to leave the food without being careful.TERRIBLE SERVICE! They made us have a bad night!A few miles away is "The sister house" A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER!

The service is terrible, the waitresses are rude, the food is not bad but for such a bad service I would not return to that place, I don't understand how waitresses like that can be attending to diners. They made us feel terrible, not welcome.
