Very good and authentic Korean style Chinese food! Glad this one is close by. I don’t have to drive all the way to Santa Clara anymore. Jjamppong is one of the best I have had in US, with just the right spicy level. It comes with a lot of seafood, which is probably why this dish is much more expensive than Jajangmyeon. Jajangmyeon was a bit too sweet for me. Nothing special with Tangsuyuk, not bad but probably won’t order again next time.

The Jajang myeon sauce is hands down the best in Fremont and really the only option in Fremont. The sauce is beef based and it is great. This is the go to place if you want Korean Chinese style jajang myeon. There are other places in Santa Clara but this sauce is still considerably better. The noodle could be better but overall it's 5 stars for the food. The Jjamppong is also good with a "burr" taste, fire burning. The place inside is nothing spectacular, but decent if you want to eat inside. Also, typical CA prices for the food.
I enjoyed my meal very much. The service was great. The portions were a nice size. My picture doesn't accurately reflect the depth of the bowl. I will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu.

After coming here for several months and trying out several things on the menu, I can definitely say this is one of my favorite Korean places nearby Fremont. They're always quick and friendly. It's a nice and clean atmosphere. Food-wise, my favorites are:- Rose Tteokbokki: always soft and squishy- Mandu: always crispy- Roasted Garlic Fried Rice: they add radish bits that give it a sweet crunchOther things, I've tried that are decent to great:- K-Udon- Kimchi Fried Rice- Soy Sauce Korean Fried Chicken

I love this little spot, the service is great and the food comes out really quickly. The Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) were delicious, the noodles have the perfect chew. The sauce clings the noodles well. There was plenty of sauce and a good ratio of veggies and meat to noodles. I also tried the rose tteokbokki, which had a spice kick but the cream that was added to the sauce was perfect so that the spice was not too overwhelming. The soy sauce korean fried chicken was also very delicious, the sauce is flavorful and the chicken was warm and crispy, even when I took it home. If you are in the fremont area, you should definitely check this spot out!

Amazing Korean-owned jjajjangmyun place! The jjajjangmyun, tangsuyuk, and the jjampong was delicous. If I'm ever in the area, I would definitely come back. The restaurant is a bit hidden but there's plenty of seating inside. There is also plenty of parking in front if you don't come at a busy time. I do think that this place is a bit on the pricier side but I really loved my experience with the service and the great good so I don't mind it! If you end up having leftover tangsuyuk, then I recommend airfrying it so you can get the crunch back!
When Koreans crave jjamppong in the U.S., they can eat it here. Also order sweet and sour pork..

LOVE THIS PLACE. BEST KOREAN JAJANGMYEON (noodles with black bean sauce) IN THE EAST BAY PERIOD. My girlfriend wanted more so we came back the following day hahaI hope more people learn about this place. It's even better than the well-known one in Santa Clara (if u know u know)Jajangmyeon 5/5 - The black bean sauce is not runny, it's like hearty and sticky -- textured like the ones in Korea. It's very balanced and the portion sizes are amazing. The small size is perfect for one person if not more to spare, and they give lots of sauce, cucumber slices, and noodles. The black bean sauce is very thick and strong. The noodles are super chewy too.Kimchi fried rice 3/5 - It's a little subpar compared to the jajangmyeon. The rice can get soggy really fast. I wish it was spicier. Goes well with the egg though.Tangsuhyuk 3.5/5 - It had a very nice crunchy consistency and pairs great with the sweet and sour sauce. (Wish they made the sauce just a tiny bit sweeter)The tangsuhyuk itself is delicious, but thin. I wish they used a more soft-like batter. I make this a lot at home and I get it to a nice squishy mochi consistency with sweet potato starch. But this is still good!We got to-go orders for this, but the atmosphere is no-frills and roomy. There is not a ton of seating area, but the staff are friendly! Very much a mom & pop shop. Girlfriend wants to come here everyday just for the Jajangmyeon haha pray for my wallet

My recent dining experience at Melting Wok in Fremont California , a Korean restaurant, left me absolutely delighted. Nestled in a charming corner of town, this culinary gem is a haven for those seeking an authentic taste of Korean cuisine.As soon as I stepped into Melting Wok, the warm and inviting atmosphere instantly made me feel at ease. The restaurant's elegant yet cozy interior, adorned with Korean artwork and tasteful decor, set the stage for an exceptional dining experience.The menu at Melting Wok showcases an extensive array of mouthwatering Korean dishes. From classic favorites like bulgogi and bibimbap to lesser-known delights, there is something to satisfy every palate. The chefs' expertise in Korean cuisine is undeniable, as each dish is prepared with meticulous attention to detail and traditional flavors.One standout dish that immediately caught my attention was the signature Korean barbecue. The succulent cuts of marinated meat grilled to perfection right at the table created an interactive and exciting dining experience. The tender, flavorful meat, coupled with the accompanying banchan (side dishes), provided an explosion of tastes and textures that left me yearning for more.The selection of vegetarian options at Melting Wok is equally impressive. The restaurant ensures that those with dietary preferences or restrictions can still savor the authentic flavors of Korean cuisine. From savory tofu stews to crispy vegetable pancakes, the vegetarian dishes are prepared with the same level of care and attention as their meat counterparts.Furthermore, the staff at Melting Wok exemplifies exceptional hospitality.

I placed a phone order and my food was ready in about 20mins. It was my first time here so I almost missed the place. I was a little co fused because the area was a cross between apartment complexes and businesses combined. The businesses face the street and right behind it is housing. This place is located on the corner of the lot, and it was an easy process to give them my name and check out. Luckily it wasn't too busy when I went. Took the food home and it was still warm, I was excited to get the rose ttekbokki, it came with a sizeable amount of fish cakes and spice level was just *chef's kiss* not too spicy but had just enough of a kick to satiate my spice craving. I'm usually a big fan of any where that has black bean noodles. But in this case I liked the rice cakes better.
