“Had the spicy pork and it was very tasty. Having traveled to Korea many times, it brought back some pleasant memories. Portion size was smaller than usual but with protein costs rising to the level they have, it's not a huge surprise. Worth the “
“Is it a franchisee of restaurants in San Jose? It was much cleaner and of better quality than San Jose. I only picked up at the San Jose store, but I knew the quality of the meat was good. It met both advantages. I recommend a premium package. Cold noodles after meals were also delicious.The staff was kind and we could have a beer at the bar while waiting. If you need to go to livermore Outlet or play golf on East Bay, I highly recommend you to visit it at least once.“
“We love this place for a quick sweet treat! Located in Pleasanton, it's surrounded by an array of restaurants, bakeries, and a Ranch 99. The ice cream here is SO smooth and delicate! Our favorite by far is the Ube with custard filling.“
“Loved the burrito!!! Came here on a Saturday morning and I ended up loving the egg and hashbrown burrito I ordered. The service was great as well and fast. By the time I ordered and got my food, the place was getting really busy but it was still great“

“I had no idea what this place was, so I decided to stop by and check it out. I was greeted by a very sweet and helpful lady. The food was bomb. The wings were cooked perfectly with ample amount of sauce and flavor. You can tell they really care about their food.“
“These were better than expected. Like really really good. I highly recommend getting any of them with half mozz/half sausage.My top two flavors are the potato dog and the two hands dog. There's a sweet sauce that comes on the potato dog that is super tasty. If you're a sauce person, I suggest asking for more on the side. We will be back!“
“So I went here for the first time last summer, and it was amazing! Now almost a year later, and the food remains delicious and consistent! I got the half order of their fried chicken, with a side of French fries and mozzarella sticks. A killer combination! The environment was chill, the volume was good, with some really good K-pop playing offer the speakers, which is important to me being a K-pop stan. Service was great and very attentive! I love this place, and I which I lived near here to come by mire often for a delicious meal. Overall 20/10!“
“Great small Korean restaurant! Their seafood pancake is crispy on the outside and with tons of seafood chunks. Tofu seafood soup was flavorful and not too heavy. Only disappointing dish was the cold noodles as they were a bit bland and lack of flavor. Definitely recommend this for your regular Korean crave.“
“I love Kochu! I have been coming here for a few years now and I highly recommend the galbi rice box! The galbi at Kochu is very high quality especially when compared to all you can eat Korean bbq places that give cheaper cuts. The service is also so friendly and helpful I highly recommend this place!“
“I was pleasantly surprised by this new Korean hot dog place. New, so the interior is spotless and plain but obviously focuses on takeaway sevice since there were only 2 tiny bistro tables and 4 chairs. The service was quick and friendly, patiently waiting as I decoded the new menu with so many options and combinations! The Mozzarella and sausage had a beautifully crisp lightly breaded exterior. The sausage was tasty, but the mozzarella was perfect - dense, rich and perfectly melted. So delicious, a lovely treat! The Monster Double was even better! The sausage and decadent mozzarella was wrapped with not only the light and crispy crust but topped by nacho cheese and shredded cheddar, then topped with pickled jalepeno peppers! I can't wait to try other options such as the potato cubes and the squid ink batter!“
“This is a tricky one. Getting Jajangmyeon right is so tough to pull off impressing Koreans. This is like trying to get a baguette right in France. Myeongdong is situated in the Pacific Pearl plaza where almost out of no where you have this massive Asian cuisine bonanza going on in Livermore - traditionally considered Asian dessert. It was really weird to see that many legit Korean / Chinee / Taiwanese / and other food and chains all the way out there. I guess they're for outlet shoppers?Either way, Myeongdong's Jajangmyeon was definitely on the legit side. The noodle texture was relatively good and unique. The slight fail is definitely with the sauce. Plenty of veggies and meat but no gravy. This means the Jajangmyeon turns out dry and leaves a lot of noodle without any flavor coverage. I hope the chef puts a bit more effort into the gravy and au jour, especially cause that is the cheaper part of the sauce.Their Tangsooyook - deep fried pork - that always accompanies the Jajangmyeon was also quite good. Decent portions, decently sweet sauce. Nothing mind blowing but also not to be shy of.Jjampong - spicy seafood noodles - the soup didn't have much soul in it. Barely passing the acceptable mark but again, not too shabby considering how far out this joint is compared to the rest of the Korean population.Prices were appropriate. And considering how new the place is, the atmosphere was clean and bright.These types of Korean comfort food places is all about "aging" and maturing. There's a bit of breaking in that must be done and I think as the years fold under, let's see how they either establish themselves into a destination for pilgrimage or simply wither away. As of now, I'm more on the hopeful side.Parking: The plaza parking lot - despite being quite spacious - literally fills up. And 1/3rd of the stores weren't even open. Good luck finding parking.“

“My friends and I have ordered from this place many times on Doordash but never have we been to the restaurant. We usually get one of the combos that consists of Korean fried chicken, kimbap, and fries. The fried chicken was delicious and packed with flavor and crunch! Kimbap was decent and fries are fries. From ordering dishes at Aria, I can say that everything has exceeded expectations!“
“Amazingly delicious!! I finished my whole meal and want to plan another time to visit again. A few seats inside as well as out. They are located in a busy area but do have tons of parking close to other common places. Not hard to find. We came in to order and it seems like they just take mobile orders since we ordered over a screen. A lot of pick up came so pretty popular which I understand because the food was so good. It's really nice that they have the restaurant beautifully decorated, I personally think that drives in customers to check the place out. But I definitely say the food will bring people back.“
“We went there around 2pm and made it for the lunch all you eat price. The food and the service is great too. I don’t know about the some negative reviews posted but there was a lady who served us well. I paid a total of 172$ (tip was included) for 5 persons and we were so full and barely eat all of it. We ordered the following:- 3 prime beef bulgogi- 3 prime beef brisket- 3 prime marinated short rib- 2 corn cheese ( this taste so good )- garlic baby octopus- bak kung pork belly- pork belly- green mussel- 3 garlic chicken- 3 volcano fried rice with cheese (this is not spicy)Overall the place is recommended.“
“This Bonchon location is what you would expect. Staff was friendly and food came out quickly. Wings are crispy and delicious -- we ordered soy garlic and spicy. The chicken wings could be bigger but still a good size. The tteokbokki was yummy and the rice cakes were chewy but the sauce could be a bit thicker. If you're craving Bonchon, this is a good location.“
“Crispy chicken spicy is the best if you like spicy, they do have mild. Their kimchi fried rice is also delicious and you can't beat the lunch menu starting at 12.00. Service is excellent at this location and I love the ladies there! Plenty of parking and next to 7-11 and by Cattlemens.“
