“I always come here whenever I feel eating Korean food. My favorite here is the cold noodles which I always excited about. I hope they keep this on their menu! It might look weird eating cold noodles, but it is the most delicious soup that I had. When it comes to service, some of server aren’t approachable, how they approach me doesn’t feel welcoming for me. They tend to ignore me most of the time because I usually eat alone. I don’t really mind but it still nice if server is a bit friendly to customers. Overall, food is the best 100/10 always.”

“We eat here about once a month. There’s a large all you care to eat selection, service is fast and they have decent list of beers to go with all the meat. The only problem we’ve had is that their scissors aren’t sharpened- that’s ok, next time we’ll bring our own.”

“I happened to be in Hayward for my daughter’s basketball tournament, and we had an opportunity to get lunch. It was only a mile away, and I’m very glad we went. The food was very tasty and authentic, the portions were plentiful, and the service that we received was very welcoming. The wings were so tasty! We are definitely coming back if we are in the area.”

“As a goodbye/love note to Oakland, I'm leaving reviews for all my favorites. Joodooboo is my #1 for lunch. It's unpretentious, delicious, nourishing -- the place I'd go to on my own AND the place I'd take friends from out of town. I still crave the Fried Dooboo Set. Many thanks to Steve and Sarah and Akari and everyone else who ever served me.”

“Food was delicious and the space felt so cozy and cool. Love the supermarket surrounding the tables. The back patio felt like I was at a friend's home for lunch. Staff were kind and attentive. Portion sizes were generous. We were ready for a nap after lunch. We got the lunch bap-sang with the spicy sticky eggplant and miso seaweed soup and the tofu pancake stir fried udon noodles. Both were excellent. We will certainly be back to try more dishes!”

“Absolutely delectable and delicious food! The service was super fast and friendly. Manager John was so kind and made sure we were having a good time. They offered to cook for the table and also gave us the option to cook for ourselves, if we want to. We also got great tips and suggestions when we asked for guidance w the menu. The restaurant was very clean and spacious. The meat was amazing. Side dishes and sauces were plentiful. Can't wait to come again!”

“I drove one hour here from the south bay to have the authentic jja jang noodles, Jjambong and Tangsuyuk. This was 4th time to visit here. Never disappointed! If you are taste the real Korean style Chinese food, this is the right place!! Best Jjambong!!”

“This place has super fresh kim chee. Food comes out quickly. Their Kim Chee and chives pancake is perfect. I don't eat meat but my husband does and he was never disappointed with his order. He really likes their soup. The only thing to flag is that their soft tofu soup comes with pork even though it isn't listed on the menu. They were very nice to switch it out once I got it. Just wanted to flag for anyone who wanted the soft tofu soup but don't eat pork. The soft tofu soup with Kim Chee (no pork) is also totally yummy”

“Fantastic Korean restaurant! My partner and I have tried Korean food in both east and west coast, and this is definitely one of the best places! Wide range options, authentic food and great service (and I’m glad they don’t play Kpop music in the background). We ordered clear soup beef stew and cold noodles, so satisfied.”

“Yes, this place IS the second location of the very popular Mugunghwa in El Cerrito, and yes, it’s just as good, maybe just a tad quieter, though we did go on a Tuesday evening, and there was still a steady flow of customers. The service was warm and welcoming. Everyone raves about the delicious and generous portions of banchan. So let me rave about something else. They hands down have the BEST Galbi in town—so flavorful, so tender, juicy, and perfectly caramelized. For a bigger crowd, order the Galbi Jim with melted cheese on top (which they torch in front of you!). Always a show stopper and a generous serving of melt in your mouth short rib with all the fixings. And while you don’t get to experience the fun of cooking your own kbbq, once you give theirs a try, you really won’t think of anything else!”

“My new favorite Korean restaurant. My first visit was during rush hour, the wait was about an hour. It was worth the wait. We ordered several dishes and they were all delicious. We have take take out and the service they provided, wrapping and sealing the food was very professional. No leaks, good portions, and kimchi packed for us. We regularly order the pork belly wraps and sea food noodles. Both are so delicious. Definitely recommended.”

“We had a great meal here! My partner ordered the island poke bowl, combo rice/lettuce and combo tuna/salmon. It was really good and fresh. Next time would order with just rice as the lettuce got a bit soggy. The star of the show was the cheesesteak with added cherry peppers for heat. It was gooey, meaty, right amount of heat. And the roll it comes on is divine. Working on finding out where to buy them myself.”

We been to a few Korean places and this one beats them hands down. All the plates came out hot and was well seasoned. Overall a good Korean place.”

“We went to the one in Japan and Taiwan with the same expectation, which we shouldn't had. The place interior looks great. They have a little bar to the right side when you walked for you to wait. Parking is on the street with meters The services was awesome. The portion is good. More than enough for each person if you ordered one or 2 more side dishes. The sodas are not unlimited refills. So the cost can add up if you didn't know The food is good, but keep in mind these are USA grade meat vs Japanese grade Of course the eggs is not raw due to grading as well so it is porch”

“My favorite restaurant in the whole world, of all time. My go-to in college. Sadly, I moved away after college. But every time I'm back in town, maybe once a year, I always have to come get my Steve's fix, even though I graduated over 20 years ago. I don't care about Instagrammable presentation, designer art and furnishings, and pork from pigs who were properly socialized and pampered. Just give me simple but delicious food, generous portions, and good value. Can't ever beat that.”

“We had the korean bbq buffet and it was delicious! Service was good, they switched out the grill plate pretty often and made sure our dirty dishes didn’t stack up. Really enjoyed the beef short ribs, bulgogi, and pork belly 🤗. My favorite though were the honey potatoes they served as the small side dishes. So good, my family always asks for more, so now they just serve us a huge portion (we’ve gone here for years) 😅. Would recommend eating here for sure!!”

“Quick and affordable made to order onigiri with vegan/plant based options. I like the spicy tofu triangle, the teriyaki tofu and the kimchi tofu triangles are good as well. They usually throw in complimentary edamame if you get a few, and they have other options as well. More of a grab and go atmosphere but they are fast and friendly to me, and the condiment section is loaded with good stuff like free sesame seeds, teriyaki sauce, Japanese spice, Sriracha, shoyu etc. I like this for a nice light meal for some protein and energy after a work out or so.”

“The food was pretty good, though from what I've seen the prices are pretty high. GBO gave us an item included, but otherwise, even though the food tastes good and has great portions, it's very expensive. Also, for any GBOers who see this, the spicy rice cakes (Tteokbokki) is not portioned for a full meal! Otherwise the dine out area is quite nice! Vegetarian options: There is the miso tofu ramen and maybe one other option, so vegetarians won't be left out!”
