“I came here with my family on a whim and honestly glad I did. The tofu soup was on point in this rainy day. perfectly rich broth, soft tofu, and just the right amount of spice. Banchan kept coming without even asking. the food portions were way bigger than expected for the price.”

“Oh my god, this place is a hidden gem! I love Korean cuisine and this place is by far one of the best! We stumbled upon it by accident after getting a flat tire and were looking for food near the repair shop. The service was fantastic, and the food was amazing! I would easily travel a long distance just to come back here.”

“The staff is friendly and quickly steps in to help grill the meat, making the whole experience smooth and easy. The meat is good quality — well-marinated and tender. They also serve generous portions of large intestine, which is a nice touch many places skip. Overall, it’s one of the stronger Korean BBQ options in San Jose. The only improvement would be offering more variety in banchan sides. I’ll definitely return next time I’m craving Korean BBQ”

“I ate here years ago and have since moved out of the area but that meal still ranks as one of the most memorable and delicious restaurant meals I’ve had. No frills, nothing fancy but the food was outstanding, served fast and sizzling hot. They’ve been in business for decades which is saying something! I can’t wait to eat here again when I’m back in town.”

“This place just opened. It's not clear what cuisine this is from the photos and description, and for some reason it's classified as Diner but it's doing brunch. Anyway this is a Korean fusion cuisine restaurant and it's trying to mimic the success of the japanese fusion Soho in Milpitas. Its interior is modeled for fine dining and it has a comprehensive drinks menu. Food though is quite good, the bulgogi cream pasta has the right amount of cream and taste, it's not too heavy, and the bulgogi used high quality beef/steak pieces and not your run of the mill regular beef. The fried chicken is almost perfect, crispy outside, the crunch is just right, not too hard and not soggy. The uni rice pot is good but the cream doesn't have enough uni taste unfortunately. The service is excellent as well.”

“The food was great! In my bowl I got white rice and japchae mix, protein: bulgogi, carrots, cucumbers, and kimchi for my banchans. I also got a fried egg for a little extra. Everything was bomb, I would definitely go again. I'd like to try the other meats, i will say the meat was a little cold and wish it was a bit warmer. For sauces I tried the Seoul Spicy Sauce and the Mayo Siracha and like both with my food. The service was friendly and chill.”

“This is our go to place for korean food in Fremont for years. The food has been consistently good. We always order beef bulgogi & tofu soup combo for our family. We love the beef bulgogi. It has sweet savory sauce with tender beef. The tofu soup can be hit or miss. We got seafood white soup (not spicy) for our kiddo - it was good but I personally prefer medium spice for more depth of flavor. The only downside was the parking. The parking was limited and got crowded during lunch or dinner time. So, most of the time we parked on the street nearby or we just do take out.”

“We did a pick-up order at bb.q chicken Apple Park today but decided to just eat it at the restaurant instead because we were so hungry. The person who was in charge of the cashier graciously offered us cups of water and service even if we had a take-out order. This location has always been amazing and the chicken itself (spicy original is our usual order) has been consistent throughout the 5+ years we've been coming here!”

“Such a cute little spot! I got the stone pot vegetarian bibimbap, and I was happily surprised to see that it comes with miso soup. I brought myself here for a satisfying solo meal after a tough day at work, and the food definitely delivered. And it was the perfect portion amount - no leftovers. They have extra gochujang sauce and sriracha available if you prefer a spicier meal.”

“Such a hidden gem of a spot in Sunnyvale! A unique food experience compared to the more popular Korean food (bbq & tofu stews). I love the kimchi pork rib dish & definitely get the fried rice afterwards. That fried rice changed my life! Yummy yummy The seafood pancake is also delicious. It can get quite crowded/busy on Friday & Saturday. The aunties may take your order before you are seated and the food will come out promptly after being seated. For a more relaxed experience, come Mon-Thurs in my opinion.”

“My favorite hot pot spot! Im happy theres no extra charge for anything, and I can have kbbq and hot pot. Ingredients are always fresh, and they have a good sauce bar. I always go for the pork bone broth, but my friends love the miso and spicy broth. Service is always good and theyre usually pretty quick with things despite it always being busy.”

“Family friendly spot with delicious food that arrives fairly quickly. It's surprisingly affordable given how comfortable the restaurant seating is. I love getting the small side dish of jampong (red soup) since I can't finish the entree version myself. Also a great spot for groups since the dining area is really large. We always get the Jajangmyeung, Jamppong (spicy soup), and the fried pork or chicken.”

“The food was delicious—the chicken and the salad were a real treat. But I want to highlight something that really stood out to me: the customer service provided by the young woman at the register. She is fantastic—kind and very polite. I hope her bosses reward her and don't let such a gem get away. Nowadays, we are so used to poor treatment from customer service staff that we’ve come to view it as normal, often failing to appreciate the excellent service provided by the few good ones left.”

“OLHSO Truck isn’t just a food truck—it’s a fully automated robotic kitchen on wheels. Fresh ingredients are prepped daily by human chefs, but the actual cooking is done by a high-tech robot loaded with Chef Han’s perfected recipes. Once an order is placed, the truck’s system stir-fries everything while en route, so the food is piping hot and fresh just minutes before arrival. For something made entirely by a machine, the food is impressively flavorful and well-executed. Wagyu – Boneless wagyu short ribs marinated in a rich house sauce, stir-fried with fresh veggies. The meat is tender, packed with umami, and perfectly caramelized. Dak Galbi – Chicken stir-fried in a gochujang-based spicy sauce with plenty of chewy rice cakes. The heat is customizable, but the deep, smoky flavor always shines. SEOUL Food – A bold combination of kimchi, pork belly, soybean paste, and shrimp, all stir-fried together for layers of intense, savory flavor. Japchae – Glass noodles tossed with mushrooms, fresh vegetables, and a sweet-savory soy sauce. Light yet satisfying. Orders are placed through their app, and the robotic kitchen times the cooking process to ensure food arrives fresh—not sitting in a takeout container for half an hour. The whole concept is futuristic and efficient, and for a meal made entirely by a robot, the taste is surprisingly impressive.”

“So many creative and yummy options! We were lucky and able to get a same day reservation at 5:15 pm on a Friday. Service is impeccable and it looked like there was more staff than tables when we arrived but over the course of dinner, as the rest filled up, it made more sense. We loved the custard appetizer. So smooth with great textures and flavors from the potato, fish roe and everything else in the bowl. The lasagna was very unexpected yet delicious with layers and ground meat. The pawns had great flavor and we liked the sausages and tomatoes it came with. I also love that the bodies were de-shelled as already. The cold noodle was very interesting with the foam. It's a very mild flavor so this dish is more about the presentation and textures. The scallops were fresh but not that interesting. I love Hokkaido scallops but I prefer them raw. This cook was good, just not that interesting. The spicy hot tofu soup was fine. It didn't feel different or elevated from what I've had at other places and a touch too salty for our tastes. There's plenty to try on the menu and would have loved to try the kalbi but our bill was quite pricey already. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try, it's a great treat and dining experience.”

“Where do you go when you’ve watched too much kdramas and you start salivating when the characters stary drinking soju with fried chicken??? Vons!!! That’s where I go at least. It’s the only korean place I know that’s at least a 10 min walk from our place. It never fails to satisfy my craving… and when you get there, the big screen tv is always playing some kdrama. I do wish they had more variety with the diahea they offer but then again the simplicity of the menu is what makes the service quick. Von’s is clean and a refreshing change from the usual chinese, japanese or mexican fare that’s quite common in the area. Service is quick and staff are friendly. Owned and run by an actual korean - there you go! You can’t get anymore authentic than that! Pay in cash and you’ll het a bit of a discount!”

“Edit (additions) May 27, 2026. After my initial review I have come back again and again. This restaurant never failed my expectation. It is getting better with time. In this day and age for a restaurantuer to persist in their belief in delivering quality foods at reasonable price, while maintaining the customer-centered focus it takes genuine deterimination and honesty. I recommend this place without any reservation. (Original review below) Authentic Chinese cuisine at better than affordable prices. For the quality in the selection of material and preparation you really can't beat this place. The service is responsive, personal, and fast. Clean, bright, and spacious feeling. Open space kitchen allows you easy glance at the dedication of the culinary staff in action. Easy to get to, and plenty of parking space.”

“Was craving fried chicken and this place hit the spot. We got half order soy garlic (spicy) and half order regular along with some kimchee fried rice. Everything was tasty, even the daikon they first serve you, and I’m typically not a fan. The leftovers were good the next day, the spicy soy garlic retained its spice too. The food was 5 stars but I had to deduct 1 because the spoon I got was sticky and I could see lip prints on the water cup. TO CLARIFY: they were not used/dirty. They probably had been run through the dishwasher but needed some extra handwashing. The water cups are the aluminum kind so I think that those in particular need to be washed with actual contact. Regardless, the chicken and kim chee fried rice was so good that I will be back”

“I went here last weekend with a friend late at night and the vibes is what you expect from a late night spot with a lil bit of a party atmosphere. My friend and I ordered their spicy beef soup, chicken wings, and kbbq pork belly and fried gyozas stuffed with vermicelli noodles. When we accidentally got the wrong order of wings and we ate them, the restaurant kindly let us keep them with our original order of wings in which we were very grateful for. The rest of the food was great as well and hits the spot for late night cravings. Would definitely come here again with friends after a night out or just go eat at to chat.”

“We recently visited this Seapot and had a great experience! Our party chose the premium combo with both BBQ and hot pot, which gave us plenty of delicious options to enjoy. We tried different soup flavors, and each one was flavorful in its own way. One of the best parts is the wide selection of ingredients available on the running conveyor line. There were plenty of seafood, mushrooms, vegetables, other toppings to choose from. Whether added to the hot pot or grilled on the BBQ, everything tasted fresh and delicious. As the ingredients cooked, the broth became richer, sweeter, and incredibly flavorful. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and variety offered. We enjoyed everything from start to finish and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and satisfying hot pot and BBQ experience!”

“We ordered a takeout meal, so can't really attest to the eat in experience. Ordered soy garlic and kbbq wings and drumstick. Enough chicken for 3 people, if not four. Plus if you make rice or veggies at home it could for sure turn into a great full meal. Chicken had a good crunch to it, though I wish the flavors were stronger.”
