One of many Korean restaurants in the Bay Area we had to try on our list. This one had a good list of choices and their dishes were pretty big except the chicken wings which always seem to always take the longest to cook.The garlic wings were good but some pieces so tiny that they should not count towards the fifteen pieces. The seafood pancake was good flavor and good size. I really liked the kimchi fried rice, spicy pork and Premium LA Kalbi. The Steamed Egg had no flavor and it had too much soup in it which I thought was weird. We ordered sodas and their Lychee Cocktail for twenty bucks which was a carafe pitcher size. It was pretty good and strong; nothing fancy. We also ordered Bibimap which was pretty big.Choice this Korean restaurant for mom's bday and was satisfied. The prices were on the expensive side. Not a place for a date as it's loud here but good for groups and drinking. Service is ok. They forgot one of our items but at least, they didn't charge us; we did have a big group though. Haha they even told us politely that we had to go as they had awaiting customers. The place is small, and can get crowded fast so I recommend to come early but lots of parking available.

The food and service was spectacular! The lighting could be better during the night but overall, i had a great experience.Started with the bulgogi roll and cheese corn. Both were delicious and fulfilling.Then got the Soo Ja burger with regular fries and it came with their signature sauce that you can basically dip with everything! (Always ask for extra)Lastly, I got the half and half fried chicken with the finger licking sauces, garlic and the sweet and spicy.I high recommend all of these dishes. This is also enough food for about 4 people to share!

This is a great casual dining spot for Korean fusion. Venture outside of your comfort zone & try something new each time you visit. Its ALL good. The service is friendly & inviting each time.

I used to come here with my husband so frequently that a lot of the staff knew me and my husband. After moving we haven't been here for a long time and decided to stop by. I have to say....service has changed a lot. I'm usually patient because I was a server for 10 years. But with that being said I know mistakes happens but back to back?! That's a bit ridiculous especially when the server taking our order repeated the order and it was correct but the food came out wrong...1 mistake) our udon noodles was not in our spicy rice cake dish that's fine cuz we got in the side2 mistake) I specifically asked for no green onions or white onions or any onions in my seafood ramen...well guess what hella tons of green onions on top of my soup! And on top of that the ramen was super salty! Didn't even finish the ramen of how salty it wasService is nice but they lack on checking back in on their customers. It's like they seat you, bring you water, take your order and once your food is out bye bye I don't need to check on you. We sat for 10 min until I had to get someone's attention for box and check. They opened a soup restaurant across the plaza might give that a try cuz after todays experience I'm pretty disappointed

After a long day of working and finishing around 12am, I was craving some Korean food. Called up a place near home that was still open and order tons of food for two people lol Nice little restaurant that had simple decor and good amount of TV's. Nice music and volume which I like loud but still be able to hear your company. Very nice workers that were smiling and not mad you were there late. Kept updating us about our order which was nice. Bulgogi Bibimbap was nicely rolled with fresh rice fresh beef bulgogi and veggies. Nicely rolled tight and you can tell it was freshly rolled! Delicious with dipping soy sauce they provided. Bulgogi Fries were super fresh and I love how the fries were just crispy! Some stuffed fries come out so soggy with all the toppings added to it. The dipping sauce I like was some what of a sweet sriracha sauce. Not sure what it was but really good. Great meat cheese portion. Fried Calamari. It was really calamari and sweet potatoes but I requested for just calamari. They happily made the modification with no added charge. Fried to crispy I believe they used a tempura batter which I love! Came with some type of soy sauce dipping but I liked the sweet spicy sauce that came with the fries to pair with the calamari. Really good calamari only critic is maybe adding some seasoning or just salt n pepper once they fry it. Japchae was just ok. Was kind of hard for some reason. Had good flavor though so I can't really take away from the dish. Just cook the noodles better please! Spicy Pork Kimchi fried rice was bomb!!! Always my favorite thing to grab at Korean spots like this. Not spicy just on the mild side so you're able to taste all the flavors. Overall this place with a combination of their food and staff was great! Will definitely be coming back. Thank you for the great service and awesome food.
The one star was for the restaurant billing system. It charges “service charge “ of 18% without mentioned to client. Then listed tip guide for additional tips。Other than the not straightforward billing, the rest is fine. A business practice should be reviewed by the owner.

Great portion sizes. I like that I leave full. They warned me the soup was meant for 2 people, but it was just the right size for me. The soup was pretty bland sadly, but good amount of seafood. The bibambap is excellent. Be aware there's no banchan whatsoever here!! Love that it's open late and good entree size though

Loved every plate. Wings in sweet and spicy sauce are very good, peanuts in the sauce gives them a nice kick. Vegetarian pancake is very good too.Service is good, they forgot one plate but worked on it pretty quick. A little cold ambience for me.

I ordered the Steamed Pork Hock ($31) I was pretty disappointed in this dish. :/ The pork was a bit too hard for my liking. Seafood Soft Tofu Jjigae ($32) This was definitely my fav dish!! I had to turn off the fire for like 3 minutes in bc the soup was evaporating. So good!! Sooja Fries ($13) Big portion! I usually do not care for fries but these were pretty good. I picked bulgogi meat. Spicy Rice Cake ($14) The sauce was SAUCIN :0 like it was a good amount of sweet and not too spicy ( I picked mild LOL) Sadly, the service went downhill after COVID but the food is still pretty good. The prices are pretty pricey for their portions. I like how this place is open late so you can always come for late night munchies. The drinks here are pretty decent as well! The place is small so I suggest going here with smaller groups or earlier so you can avoid waiting. Check out my Instagram for more! @eatwithsabs
