We ordered large size Galbi and extra rice to share. It came with 8 Banchan (side dishes). There were the usual suspects: two types of kimchi, spicy fish cakes, spicy small dried fish, spinach etc. But there was a mung bean jelly flavoured with light soy and scallion dressing that I really like. Galbi came on hot iron plate with cabbage. About four ribs cut into pieces. Taste is good but I think they used meat tenderizers. If you have been reading my reviews before I am against this practice which is common in Asian restaurants. It takes away the texture of the protein. Other than that, I will be happy to return to try other dishes.

Super disappointed in my latest experience. I used to go here for years for their great lunch special. Come to find out, they changed up the format and the boxes come with less meat and no banchan! What? Lol. That's what I come for specifically. Basically paid $25 bucks for a small amount of meat and some rice, noodles, kimchi, and salad.
On top of that, when I asked how much it would be to pay for more she said they couldn't offer that. She did, in her defense, ask me if there was something I wanted so she could bring it. Nice gesture, but banchan is always different. How am I supposed to know what they have?
I also saw trays of it being brought around to other tables with no explanation on what I was supposed to order in order to receive it.
While the quality of the food was fine, it just left a bad taste in my mouth and sadly I will not be back.

I tried galbi, bulgogi and kimchi stew soup and they were amazing! Their portion is more than any other korean restaurant. When you have a family gathering, you should definitely try Korea House.

We ordered the Kalbi and the chicken Bibimbap — both were excellent. The rice at the bottom of the Bibimbap was perfectly crispy, adding great texture. Banchan side dishes are the Best!!!!
Flavors were well-balanced and not overly spicy, which we appreciated. The service was also fantastic — the staff checked on us regularly and made us feel really welcome.
The only downside was the restroom; it could definitely use some attention in terms of cleanliness. Otherwise, a great dining experience overall!

Being from Hawaii and having visited South Korea many times, I am very picky about my Korean BBQ. This place is by far, the best one in the SF Bay Area. Kalbi is charged perfectly and served on a sizzling cast iron platter. Veggie pancake is perfectly cooked. Beef tofu soup is flavorful and delicious. What no other restaurant can match is the free japchae and variety of banchan (side dishes). Kimchi cucumber, spicy tiny fish, spinach and traditional kimchi cabbage are all awesome.
Wife and I came here for our anniversary and it's our new favorite Concord Korean BBQ spot. The two women running the front were so nice and attentive.
Can't go wrong with the Galbi, Bulgogi, and Japchae!

We ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was excellent. The bibimbap and stew, in particular, were generously portioned with plenty of fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned. Just like in a Korean restaurant, they served ten different side dishes, and you could even get one free refill.
Highly recommended!

Great service and food! The portions are more than enough. The staff were kind and attentive. The food also came out fast. I had beef galbi, pork galbi and seafood tofu soup. It had the fire grilled flavour in the meat which is hard to come by these days. They also had good variety selection of side dishes (banchan). Plenty of seating for large groups as well. Would definitely come by again!

We came here for Mother's Day lunch. The food was really good. They serve 10 side dishes! This is the first time I see that many side dishes. The people who work there are very nice and accommodating. We really liked the place. Planning to come back.
