“Excellent food, fair price. We were a group of 5, got 2 orders of mandu and a tuna mayo kimbap to share. Kimbap was kimbap, it was good. The kimchi mandu really surprised me, breaking my stereotype that Korean mandu are less flavorful than Chinese jiaozi. For entrees, their kalguksu is what you should be aiming to get, trust me 👍 the owners have lots of experience with this kind of noodle back in korea. You won't regret it.”

3 Rice Junky - Santa Clara (Korean Restaurant)

4.2 Good 214 Reviews

2089 El Camino Real, Santa Clara

• Take-Out

“Rice Junky in Santa Clara is a fun Korean fusion spot with a lively, casual atmosphere. The restaurant has more of a Korean pocha-style feel than a traditional Korean restaurant, with K-pop, colorful lighting, and a menu that works well for sharing with friends or for a late-night meal. The CC Chicken is one of the standout items. It is crispy, sweet, a little spicy, and very addictive, especially with corn cheese on the side. The bulgogi bowl and bulgogi wrap are also popular, with tender marinated beef, rice, cheese, vegetables, and macaroni salad. The rose tteokbokki is another good choice if you like something creamy and spicy, and they also have ramen, kimchi udon, seafood pancakes, mandu, and hot pan dishes. Portions are generous on many of the bowls and rice dishes, and the digital ordering system makes it easy to add more food as you go. The atmosphere can get busy and a little loud at night, but that is part of the fun here. Service is generally quick and friendly, though it can slow down during peak hours. It is a good place for casual dates, groups of friends, or anyone looking for Korean comfort food with a modern twist and a fun late-night vibe.”

“Beautiful atmosphere. Did not need to wait at 915am on a Saturday. Seats were still available when we left at 10:30am Service - Great service. She came in to check in on us at right intervals. Not too many, not too little. Service was genuine and wasn’t over the top which was very comfortable. Food - tasted delicious. Portion was small. Price is decent for most items. Food came quickly. Overall - a pleasant experience. While portions are small, when accounting for the vibe, aesthetic atmosphere, and service, I would come back again, especially for celebrations.”

“This is one of my fave places in this Korean plaza! I always find service to be so friendly and kind. They are a small team but do their best to chat with you and make recommendations. We typically get a 1-meat combo which is more than enough for our 2-3 person family. The portions are huge and the banchan is refilled so unless you're craving tons of different meats, no need to order a ton more. I also love their tofu soup, it's not too oily and also keeps well if you have leftovers. The interior is clean and well kept so you'll be comfy with a group anywhere from 2-6 people. Larger groups might be harder to accomodate but I've never had to reserve for under 6.”

“Our first time at Golden Wang Donkatsu and I was pleasantly surprised! We had to try a little bit of everything. The kimchi fried rice was so good, and all of the pastas had great flavor and looove how creamy (almost soupy) they were! My favorite was definitely the rosé pasta with pork donkatsu! The pork was so tender, crispy and not oily (just how I like). The shrimp in the creamy pasta were huuge and delicious! As a sweet coffee lover, their Korean sweet and creamy coffee was sooo good while still having a nice strong coffee flavor. The mandarin slushie was super refreshing too! Loved the casual, welcoming atmosphere and the service was great. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend if you’re in the area! I am intrigued to try the spicy cold noodles, they looked so good and colorful!”

“Takeout only place. The regular jokbal was lukewarm even though this isn't cold style jokbal. But the spicy jokbal was right out of the wok/pan so that was nice. Both the regular style and the spicy style had great flavors, especially the spicy jokbal. The extra cost is definitely worth it. Get either half and half, or just the spicy.”

19 Ilbunjee(#1 Restaurant)

4.1 Good 132 Reviews

2325 El Camino Real, Santa Clara

• Delivery

“Ilbunjee is a long-running, family-run Korean BBQ restaurant in Santa Clara with a cozy, old-school atmosphere that feels more traditional than many of the newer Korean BBQ places. The dining room is fairly small and simple, but that is part of its charm. The main reason to come here is the quality of the meat. The beef and pork combos are a good way to try several cuts, including brisket, ribeye, top sirloin, pork belly, and wagyu options. The Kurobuta pork belly is especially good when grilled until slightly crisp. They also serve plenty of banchan, lettuce wraps, fish cake soup, steamed egg, cold noodles, rice balls, and dishes like squid potato pancake. I also like that the staff will sometimes help with the grilling and make sure the meat is cooked properly. Service feels friendly and personal, which fits the family-run atmosphere. Parking can be a little difficult and the tables are close together, but the quality of the meat and the authentic Korean BBQ experience make this place worth visiting.”

20 Kunjip

4.0 Good 442 Reviews

1066 Kiely Boulevard, Santa Clara

• Take-Out

“Hands down the best Korean restaurant in the Bay right now. I grew up in K-town Los Angeles, and my wife lived in Seoul for over twenty years. We aren’t usually excited about Korean food outside of our hometowns, and rarely so excited that we need to write a recommendation. As Korean food enthusiasts, we make it a habit to check out all the trendy restaurants on social media, and Kunjip Tofu has been on the hit list for a while. We live nearby, but we’ve been prioritizing all the other restaurants on Eater and Infatuation, since we weren’t really stoked about the generalist menu. Doubly so, since we weren’t super impressed with the original Kunjip (which is great, don’t get me wrong, just nothing to write home about). Boy were we wrong. Kunjip Tofu is focused on doing the fundamentals really well. First of all, all ten banchans (Korean side dishes) were on point. It’s really hard for a restaurant to serve one good banchan item. The greats can successfully serve 2-3 good ones. But Kunjip Tofu makes 10 home runs. That’s really rare even among fine dining restaurants. Then there are the main dishes. We must’ve both eaten bulgogi at least a thousand times in our lives, at hundreds of different restaurants across the US and in Korea, and this one is literally the number one for both of us. They are using really good quality wagyu beef, so the floor is already high, but the recipe is really tasteful and just executed really well. We also had the spicy oxtail jjim, which was also really good and could probably hold it down as a spinoff restaurant by itself, like the original Kunjip. But Kunjip Tofu is all about the variety, and making each dish really good. If you come in a group, make sure to order different dishes, and share a bit of each with everyone, so you can try what the best of the best can do for each dish. We are already looking forward to being back and trying the other stuff on the menu.”

“I became a fan of Woomihome after the second visit! Friends recommended Woomihome and I finally got to try it. I saw that they have meal kits, pre-made hearty soups, and side dishes. So far we have had spicy and sweet chewy noodles, steamed shishi peppers, yeolmu kimchi and braised beef in soy sauce. Everything we tried was tasty and did not disappoint. Woomihome has excellent customer service and it looks like it has a great system in place. The side dishes might be a tad bit pricier compared to Korean markets, but I can see that their quality and freshness speak volumes!”

“TLDR: Pricey but worth it for delicious Korean food. Service can be hit or miss, ambiance varies, but the dishes are flavorful. Favorites include the Kimchi Bossam and Tteokbokki. I’ll be honest, this place is on the pricey side, but the food is consistently delicious every time I visit. The only downside is I can’t come as often as I’d like since the cost is higher than most Korean spots. Still, it’s worth it, so just a heads-up if you’re planning to come. The service can be hit or miss. Sometimes attentive, other times you’ll need to flag someone down. The ambiance is usually laid back, though it depends on the day and crowd size. Here’s what I’ve tried: Kimchi Bossam (19 or 21) – Hell yes! Seasoned Raw Crab in Spicy House Sauce (25) – Messy and complicated, but not the main event. Tteokbokki – Delicious.”

This place is a hot spot on weekend nights, every table is full, old Korean folks and young rambunctious friends liven up the place with flowing drinks and chatter. Brisk, efficient service with enough parking in the rear of the building. Their vast menu items are satisfying and nutritious, and the Bandhan are fresh and tasty. They can accommodate large groups.”

“As soon as I got into the restaurant I can tell if this is a great place and a great atmosphere. It was just right and perfect. The staff members treated us like family. My mom for Mother's Day spun the wheel and we got $30 off our next item, and the owner I believe gave my dad a free spin and we got a free item also as well. My dad said he loved this place so much that he's going to be here for Father's Day. Highly recommend this restaurant to enjoy with your family or maybe just a few co-workers or friends. The funny thing is that when my mom first spin it says a free alcohol drink which nobody drink. But of course she re-spin the wheel again. Food was delicious, also was there non caffeine hot teas.”

The crab meat was tender and sweet, and the sauce was perfectly savory without being overly salty. So good with rice!

“We had a wonderful experience dining here! The service was incredibly fast, and there were plenty of menu options to choose from for both adults and kids. Our group of 3 adults and 5 kids ordered the JSJ BBQ Combo A, along with an additional BBQ meat selection that unfortunately I can't remember the name of—but it ended up being everyone's favorite! The meats were flavorful, tender, and cooked perfectly. The Dolsot Bibimbap was delicious and very generously portioned. The Seafood Pancake was a huge hit with the kids—we actually wished we had ordered a second one because it disappeared so quickly! Overall, this is a great spot for authentic Korean food, generous portions, and efficient service. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back the next time we're in town.”

“*USP: Korean and Chinese food. Black bean noodles and an expansive menu covering all the usual Chinese food favorites. *AMBIANCE: large restaurant, eclectic and funky ambiance. Felt like it was some place in Hong Kong or China. *Food: good if not great for the most part. The chef seems to be very careful or forgetful with the usage of salt though. *corn soup: 2.5/5: sweet and bland. There was not salt at all. No amount of chilli powder, salt or soy sauce helped redeem this dish. *chicken chow mein- 4/5- favorite dish on the table for all of us. Chicken was soft and didn’t have a funky smell or taste. Noodles felt fresh. Dish was greasy though. *fried rice-3.5/5- came with mushrooms, eggs and some other veggies. Very nondescript and safe, felt more like a side dish rather than main. *deep fried chicken in hot pepper sauce:3.5/5- I was expecting some fire in this dish but this was unfortunately on the sweeter side as well. The chicken had a very crispy coating per description. *black bean noodles-3.5/5 after loving the version in Paiks noodle, it was difficult for me to like the version here. It was decent though, noodles seemed fresh and had a good bounce. But the sauce felt too soy saucy to me.”
