15 Best Korean Restaurants near Pacheco

“I was skeptical because I judged a book by its cover but was blown away by this place. It's so yummy and filling. While the ambiance isn't anything to leave you speechless it does add character to KeunJib. I've been to some very nice looking places that have served some pretty terrible food so trust me on this that they may be attached to a bowling alley but do not sleep on this place. I ordered the bibimbap with beef and it was over flowing with fresh veggies, a fried egg and beef. They also use the purple rice which most Korean places around here just use regular white rice which I find a let down. I also had the tofu soup and it was delicious and perfect for a cold rainy day. It came with all the side dishes which were tasty. I am looking forward to coming back.“

“Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was very quiet - maybe only two other families inside. We were seated immediately and placed our order within the first five minutes of arrival. Potato and cheese corn dog: 5/5 - it was extra cheesy and slightly sweet. Garlic wings: 2.5:5 - standard fried chicken with cold garlic paste on it. It also had sweet notes. Personally, it was not for me. Classic fried chicken (mild): 4/5 - the flavor on these were our favorite. Not spicy at all, but good chili flavor. Honey butter fries 2/5 - not for me. They wanted to be sweet, but tasted artificial (like no real honey, but a sugar honey substitute). Overall, I would give Von's a 3.5/5. I want to return and try items other than the fried chicken - everyone else inside the restaurant had something that wasn't the fried chicken and it looked and smelled phenomenal.“

“Korean BBQ Plus in Concord is a haven for lovers of authentic Korean cuisine. Their bulgogi is a delectable blend of savory flavors, tender meat, and perfectly balanced marinade. The gal bi tang is a comforting delight, rich with hearty beef and aromatic spices. This place is a definite go-to for anyone craving comforting Korean food that hits all the right notes. With attentive service and a cozy ambiance, Korean BBQ Plus truly delivers a satisfying dining experience“

“My friend and I visited for lunch on a Saturday and like other reviewers, appreciated that there were lunch specials on a Saturday. We both ordered the short ribs lunch special which included banchan side dishes. The short ribs were delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The staff were super friendly and also checked back with us as to whether we wanted additional banchan. Restaurant was clean. We will definitely be back.“

“The food is very good and service is amazing. There is a youngman at the counter who is very energetic, helpful and prompt. He has been there everytime that I have. Service is very quick. Give it a try for a quick meal. Great lunch spot.Vegetarian options: Only one vegetarian option but it is a small menu.“

“Wanted jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and got it here. Added a little salt to taste and it was great!!! They also have bulgogi Kimbap (beef roll) which is a plus but the meat was slightly smoky tasting, but still tasted amazing! The restaurant was full of Koreans which is a good sign. I’ll have to come back and try some other dishes.“

“This place is seriously a hidden gem! I ordered a 5 piece drumstick with half and half sauce options, as well as a potato mozzarella corn dog. I thought that it was pricey at first, but when they brought the food out, I was amazed at the portions! The chicken drumsticks were HUGE, very well-seasoned, and juicy. The corn dog had an amazing cheese pull and was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised, for sure. The service was great and it only took about 5 minutes for them to prepare and hand me my hot and fresh meal. Koko is in the back of the food court, so you wouldn't even know it was there. But, if you love Korean food, I highly recommend it!“

“We were doing some holiday shopping, got lost of time & forgot to eat until we realized that it was almost 3 pm. Plus 82 really hit the spot. They make your staple Korean foods served in huge batches and everything was delicious. We got their Japchae, rice, Bulgogi and kimchi. It's refreshing to see properly prepared mall food these days.“

“This is our favorite fried chicken place in the East Bay. Absolutely mouthwatering! Each bite is bursting with savory spices and cooked to perfection. The food is delicious. The staff is friendly and ready to assist. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious fried chicken with a Korean twist! P.S. Love the sign too!!“

“Thefoodwaswhat I have been wanting for sooo long beef with rice cooked right... the service was excellent I am allergic to seafood and the waitress understood (amazingly). The place was not fully packed when we went in to seat but about 5 minutes later it was full... it's a hit and miss around the movie times lol. Get there early to enjoy the meal then a movie.“

“This place is our go to when we crave Korean food. We always go for the spicy pork, tteokbokki, and bibimbap. Their side dishes are amazing, especially yuchae namul (mustard green), jhapche, and dried fish. The servers are very polite and the restaurant is always clean.“

“Was so sooooooooo good. Korean places in the city have nothing on this place. We had the kimchi stew, kimchi dumplings and spicy rice cakes. The kimchi stew was so flavorful, even with no meat. The dumplings were amazing. The rice cakes were in a super unique sweet and spicy sauce, and you could add ramen to them. To die for place, all servers were so sweet at the restaurant and it was perfectly clean. A must have hole in the wall.“

“Fun for everyone with plenty of options to cook up. Like most Korean BBQ spots expect lots of smoke, sizzling, and noise. Sit down and pick your 5 starting options to begin. The short ribs and bulgogi are tops. I also highly recommend the kimchi-fried-rice. Service is great ! Quick and attentive and we never had to wait long for anything despite being a packed house.“

“I ordered from doordash bulgogi and tofu soup for $30+ and the portion is huge, it can feed 2-3 hungry people with you have extra rice at home. The flavor is great. The tofu soup is not too spicy. They include some banchan and white rice. The package was good.“

“We've been here several times now and really enjoy how flavorful the food is. Even our young kids really like it. My favorite are pretty much anything that's spicy, the hot sauce they use is delicious. My daughter likes the brisket and pretty much fills up on that over a rice bowl.My only complaint is how expensive it is. So we only go on special occasions or when we have the extra money for it.Atmosphere is beautifully lit and we enjoy sitting at the booth seating.Kid-friendliness: We bring our kids and they enjoy the food and helping on the grill.“
