Located in Vietnam Town, Enjoy Seoul is in a corner of the left building when you pull into the lot. It isn't the biggest, but definitely clean. My mom and I were seated immediately for an early dinner. We are regulars here as my mom thinks this is her favorite Korean restaurant, and I have to say the soup and the stone bibimbap is also probably the best too. It was more than enough food for the two of us, and we had about one serving left to bring home. I think the banchan helps make the meal filling! Service is average, but in a good way. Took a star down because the table next to us got their food first but we ordered before them, and they seemed to order the same thing we did. Overall, definitely will come back again, and if you do go, try not to go during lunch or dinner rush because it's not that big and you might wait a while.

I've come here many times for years and I'll continue to come back. The price has gone up quite a bit over the years (so don't be shocked), but I will say that it is quality food. I'm always here for a kimchi soft tofu soup! You can't beat the sides here.... one of the best banchan spreads you'll receive in San Jose. The kimchi here is on the sweeter side (not super sour), japchae is really soft, fish cake is sweet, and you get PURPLE rice (not the regular white rice)!Also, if you're ever craving Korean AND Japanese at the same time, this spot is a 2-in-1. They also have sushi, but I mainly stick to the Korean items :) It's usually the same two people working the restaurant. They are quick at service and attentive to your needs. One of the oldest restaurants in Vietnam Town. I hope it's here to stay!

This is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the Bay Area. I love how quick the service is, but also the food! There's not many places that sell sushi and Korean food together, but this place does... and you can't go wrong with one or the other, or even both. My typical sushi order here ranges from the chirashi bowl, dragon roll, lion king roll, California roll, and the different sushi hand rolls. While the Korean dishes usually includes the bibimbap, soft tofu soup, grilled beef ribs, budae stew, spicy beef soup with dumplings, and seafood pancake. I also appreciate the restaurant hosting my big family outings here. Parking is also easy for everyone, and the location is prime because you can walk around after to get dessert or other tasty asian treats in the plaza.

Enjoy Seoul is the ideal restaurant to eat your heart out if you wish to indulge in Korean cuisine. They have a wide menu serving many Korean dishes and some Japanese dishes, and their serving sizes are generous. I ordered the regular Beef Bibimbap, which came with a large tray of sides and sauce. I omitted the sauce, and my dish still tasted wonderfully seasoned and marinated. The highlight of my meal was the beef and the japchae side. I do wish I had more beef in my dish, so it would be nice if they could have been more generous with the protein portion.I only wish they would not have their menu accessible via QR code. My phone does not work for QR scanning. I ended up going on Yelp to view the menu.The service was good and the entertainment on the TV was great. I was really full after my meal, so the price was definitely worth it. This place starts getting crowded toward lunchtime on the weekends and you might have to park a little farther from this restaurant in this plaza, so I would suggest coming earlier rather than later.

This establishment has been here forever!! Their food consistency is longstanding. I come back time and time again and can expect the same great flavors. The waiters have been the same people since I can remember. The banchan portions are soooo generous, and I dare say they have one of the best kimchis around. This gem is one of my family's faves!

Great service and super good food. They started our table of 4 with huge portions of openers including japchae, kimchi, purple rice, and fish cakes! The starters were such a large and plentiful serving that we took the leftovers to-go. The staff was very accompanying as well and checked up on our table. We got the seafood soft tofu - 10/10, super tasty but it comes out very hot so be patient! Kalbi ribs- 10/10, came on a hot plate and tender cutSalmon teriyaki- 10/10 very flavorful and the fish was cooked just rightoverall price to ration of food was great and we will be coming here again
Enjoy Seoul truly impressed me with its delightful dishes and outstanding service. The beef soondubu, priced at $19.20, was bursting with flavor, complemented by complimentary side dishes. Each spoonful was a delicious journey of rich flavors that warmed my soul. The generous portion of soondubu, along with the diverse selection of side dishes, provided a complete and fulfilling meal. From the purple rice and kimchi to the bean sprouts, fish cake, seaweed, and japchae, every bite showcased the authenticity and freshness of Korean cuisine.Whether you're a fan of Korean cuisine or looking to explore new flavors, Enjoy Seoul is the perfect destination to savor an exceptional meal!!

Entering in the place, it is a bit tight and small, but there is a good community who enjoy eating together. The lights were quite dim and I think one of their titleholders by the counter was falling off. It's kind of warm inside and could use a bit better sanitation. The spoon was cute because it had a face and you can listen to K-POP music on the TV screen.The server was very patient with me on choosing the food and explaining to me what they have. There is the hand roll sushi and the sushi that is cut into pieces. The shrimp tempura came out fresh and hot. It was so good and very crunchy. They brought in a different order which was a mistake, I believe it was a salad or something, so I let one of the servers know. They got me the sushi and while it tasted good, I think the rolls can be cut more thinner so it's easier to eat.
It’s a great restaurant to eat at, serving a variety of delicious meals. We all ate sushi, rice, and more. I like the fast service and the friendliness of the waiters. I recommend the California sushi rolls. I would love to continue to eat here.

Went here with a friend for lunch! Was craving sushi and some Korean so we thought we would get this place since they had bothFirst off I'll start with the ambiance: It was a clean restaurant, bit smaller than expected. Colorful walls and a modern looking restaurant. I have photos you can view below. Next service: got everything I needed in a timely manner once ordered. They just don't really check up on you and you will have to go up to them for the check boxes and etc. so service was mid in my opinion. Food: I got two salmon skin hand rolls and soondoboo which is a Korean tofu soup. We first got some side dishes for free that came in a big which was generous. As for the taste it was pretty mid Korean side dishes in my opinion. Then for our order, The hand rolls were alright, a bit soogy however. Then we got the tofu soup which was good. Overall experience: personally it was not bad however I am going to give three stars. It was all pretty mid and the prices are pretty high compared to other Korean food. Sushi was alright and again it was pretty expensive about 10$ for one hand roll. I probably would not come here again but if I do I'll update my review!

We love this place so much! Food has always been 8-9/10. It’s consistent, but in the last 10 years the prices are really hard to keep up with.It went from been an every two week dinner to maybe once a year for us and now a maybe never.20$ for a veggie pancake is quite shocking.Regardless, it’s such a great place to try once.(We don’t order sushi)

The only thing I get here is the Orange Dragon, it's my favorite but I think other sushi rolls are good too. Besides that, I have not liked any other dish there. The budae jigae wasn't good and I found a piece of hair in it. Also, at Hmart there's a budae jigae instant packet with all the toppings and the budae jigae here tastes exactly like that with the exact same toppings it comes with--even the tiny half spam slice (I would recognize it anywhere!). The tteobokki wasn't good either and the additional ramen is so expensive (I believe like $3-4) and the quality of it was the same texture as mama noodles. The don Katsu is good too though.
Very nice main dishes and side dishes.Very kind.
