Korean Restaurants near Castro Valley

“Really impressed by the chicken here. I would suggest trying at least one of your two sauce choices on the side so you can get a true taste of the batter. It is delicious, juicy, and so very crunchy this way. I tried the soy garlic which was nicely garlicky, as well as the spicy (hot) which I had on the side. The spicy sauce reminded me of samyang noodles sauce a bit. The cabbage salad is an excellent pairing and the pickled radish was sweet and a great pallette cleanser. Definitely a recommend. Friendly service and warm nice dining area. Best KFC I have had outside Korea so far.“

“Just so everyone knows, This place is a co-kitchen with ramen 101. You cannot order in person. You have to order online and pick up to eat there or to go.I ordered the Three Taco sampler. It came with a lot of meat. Each item tasted pretty good. My favorite was the one with jalapeno sauce.The price is a little high, but I would come back again to try the other items.“

“K-Bob is one of my go-tos for takeout, they have an easy online ordering process and my food is always ready on time. Their kimbap is huge and stuffed with ingredients - Lord of the Roll is my favorite. I also love the yubu - caterpillar and salmon are my favorite. They also have a 4 yubu + free miso soup combo which I love. The owners are friendly and attentive. They always seem to be quiet and not too crowded.“

“This place is a hidden gem. 110% recommend coming here. The food is amazing and the customer service was so personable. Thank you to Eli for telling us about their story and giving us recommendations. Amazing service and even better food. The Mama Seoul's Signature Wings were delicious and one of the stars of the show, i wish i ordered more. It was crunchy and juicy and filled with so much flavor. The Salt N Pepper Wings were also addicting. The Galbi was so tender and at such an amazing price for the quality. Japchae was flavorful and the Spicy Pork was also great. Everything was a 10/10. So excited to make this spot one of my go-tos! Planning to order catering soon. Can't wait to try more items!“

“Tangs Haus' sign caught my eye - the name made me think it was going to be a Chinese Hofbrau. But instead a lively and delicious Korean restaurant. The house made kimchi stood out for me but everything was great. Is there anything more soothing than a bubbling sundubu and a hot bowl of rice? Make sure to save room for the Hotteok Ice Cream.“

“The food here was amazing, but the service here was outstanding! Kai had such a good demeanor while serving us, and treated us so warmly.

We got Spicy Bulgogi with Kimchi Fried Rice and Fish Cakes as an appetizer, and the overall quality was great!

Only feedback- maybe have some desserts! I know that’s not a staple, but would be nice to have some items.“

“Not too bad, surprised me with diet accommodation i asked for. I saw good and bad reviews, but since it was next to chachacha, i tried it. I can see myself coming again. There was just 2 workers on an afternoon and a few dine in guest. The 2 workers looked quite busy. I just hope they are not too worn out, and can keep up with sanitation/hygiene. The reason for other 1 star reviews

On a good note, the rice was mixed with black rice which is nice. Accommodated my diet request, greatly appreciate that. Veggies are pretty good and tasty.
Im pretty happy with purchase and food. I just hope boss can keep up with sanitation because i read reviews that the neighboring restaurants saw pest (bugs). The boss can probably handle hiring more workers, because the business seems pretty good here. If needed.“

“My son-in-law went to school in Korea, which is how he got familiar with Korean food. Hang Yang BBQ is a short drive from his house, and it's where he eats on special occasions. The BBQ we ate was delicious, but this is not a one-off because I have eaten here three times. It's also a good sign that other customers are Korean. I'll keep coming back.“

“Su-Min- our server- and the cooks in the kitchen made our experience one of a kind. We started off dinner at a different location where the food was sadly subpar. This was our redemption opportunity and FAR exceeded our expectations!! The spicy pork was simply to die for, the japchae was phenomenal and the sides that complimented the other dishes we ordered were such awesome additions! The price to feed our family of four was only $65 which greatly impressed us as this was the final eatery we went to in several different locations, from Danville out to San Fran. If you like asian cuisine, do your palate and belly a favor and stop in. Su-Min knows what first class service is and goes above and beyond to ensure you’re comfortable and have all you need. Our waters were topped off almost intuitively, like he knew whenever we needed that, and he brought over an extra table to give us additional room while our kids colored as our food was prepared.“

“Excellent food and quick service. We ordered the smoked salmon sandwich, combo Isaac, ham and cheese Isaac, and the beef kimbap. All had good flavors and tasted fresh. Finally was able to try this place. They close early at 3pm so we never got a chance to try it. So glad we tried it today for an early lunch. Good price for the food. Most items were between $5-8. We will be returning to try their other items. Highly recommend.“

“A friend invited me here. The main dish served featured noodles derived from a non-wheat, dark translucent noodle with a very light canola oil. Included were stripes of beef, vegetables, probably including spinach The taste and texture were very satisfying. This was my first Korean food. We liked it so much, we went back for lunch the next day and plan on more visits“

“The Korean fried chicken was delicious. The staff was a big help. They helped me pick out a good bottle of cold sake.“

“I am glad that they are located in Montclair. They have a clean store with good selection of items. Great customer service!“

“I have been coming to this World Wrapps spot for years now, and aside from the fact that the food is just delicious? The customer service is beyond outstanding!
The food has fresh and delicious ingredients, perfectly proportioned to where you feel satisfied with every meal. But what makes this place really special are the employees. Anya is so sweet and remembered my order from just one time she assisted me. Her and other employees like Cesar are such a pleasure to see and engage with. Everyone is amiable, and you truly feel appreciated as a customer, whether you are doing take-out or enjoying your meal dining in. I will drive from wherever just to have a good meal and relax while doing so. I can’t recommend enough! Love this place!“

“It was my first time having Korean Food, besides Kimchi. I love Kimchi. My BFF works at Brother’s, and recommended me trying them out for my first time. I really liked all the different varieties of dishes.

It’s a place to hang out with your friends and enjoying amazing food.

I am excited to try it again when I am back in town.

I highly recommend this place.

I would love to know how your experience went?

“My buddy and I tried this Korean place after work on a week night and it wasn't too busy. It's a cozy little place that's clean and accessible. The servers/hosts were really friendly and welcoming. There's a mini karaoke section that opens at 5pm if you want to sing! :)

We ordered some sushi, Korean fried chicken and the pork bibimbbap, which Ilwas my favorite.“

“Ordered some wings (garlic soy) and plain with a couple of hot sauces, bulgogi fries, and the gangjung. I enjoyed most of the choices but found that the unsauced wings with dipping sauces were better than the others which were a bit too sweet. Chicken was nice and crunchy while not being too dry. The gangjung was solid. The bulgogi fries were straight fire though damn. We ordered eggs with our fries because eggs, and while they added to the fries, we wish they were runny eggs rather than fried to hard yolks, it definitely would be better as such.“

“Man, this spot just started serving bubble tea! I grabbed the Thai tea with boba today, and it’s seriously good. Highly recommend it. The flavor’s legit. Service is on point, and everything’s made fresh. Hands down, my go-to fried chicken joint in the Bay Area!“
