Brought friends whom never had Koja. So disappointed in this location. The rice buns were just okay, koja just bland...although we were only customers not much service, it felt like we were a bother...

Food look nothing like the pictures. The meats were terrible cheat cuts. Way too much sauce which makes the crispy rice bun soggy. The lettuce looks like the lettuce that's been sitting in a bin of water. Disgusting. Whoever you have cooking in there is lazy as hell. Never ordering again

I got the tofu rice bowl. It was pretty good, but maybe a little too much teriyaki sauce.

I enjoyed the koja burgers and kamikaze fries from the food trucks and festivals. Glad to finally try their brick and mortar restaurant. The food was tasty just as I remember. Service was friendly and quick. Will be back.

Previous reviews are pretty on point for this place. My partner and I came here this past Sunday afternoon; quiet but easy going atmosphere We ordered a chicken koja burger, chicken taco, and chicken katsu curry rice. Service Koja sandwich was well flavored but hard to eat. Lots of sauce that just made it a bit soggy and easily fell apart. Taste wise was perfectly fine. 4/5Taco was a bit dry; taste was okay. Could have use more sauce here. Personally wouldnt order again. 2.5/5I think the star was their new curry. Great flavor, nice crispy katsu, piping hot. The only thing I had a gripe about was its container. Wet curry sauce with a flimsy paper tray lined with parchment paper? Felt like my plate was on a timer still, was very happy with their curry & flavor 5/5Overall, I think the taste was great. I'd go back just for the curry itself & recommend others to try it. Otherwise, expect to eat their koja burger with utensils

For those with gluten intolerance, this takeout place is a gem. They offer a wide selection of gluten-free options, and take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety. Although it may not appear busy, the food is simply scrumptious. It's definitely worth a visit. So, if you're looking for a place to dine out without worrying about gluten, this is an excellent choice.

Wow such overrated food!First off the food is small for what you get. Extra charge for the egg. Service was super slow, even though, as you can see this restaurant was empty during lunch time.I felt the flavors weren't that great for the price. It tastes like a food truck with a 30% mark up. The beef needed to be more tender and marinated longer. The kimchi was lackluster and the rice was just your standard cheap rice. I was super dissapointed in their beef and their service. At this prices count me out!

We went to go get a quick eat and oh my it was so delicious. It took less than 10 minutes for our food to be delivered after being ordered and it was so good, can’t express it enough! The staff (jesus and irma) were so nice and helpful since it was our first time there and didn’t know what was good but the items we got were amazing! 100% going back and taking family!!

Must be new management. Tried the premium steak which supposed cooked to cook. I asked rare but I got well done. They covered the entire meal with foil so the rice cake no longer crunchy like before. And on top of it, too much sauce made the entire meal very wet. I felt like eating a wet, tough meat, rice bowl. Used to be excellent, not sure what happened. The lady took the order don’t seem to understand English. May be that’s why. Sad and angry that they wasted a supposedly great meal.
