The chicken is really good, the dips are great, the service is incredible. It’s a really good place, they serve a lot of food, I can eat twice with one portion. I took it to go, but the place also looks clean and great.

we had been going to display since 2001 when we moved here in Hayward. This place has always been the best Korean restaurant in the Bay Area. However, for the first few years, it was managed by old people and the service was not that good people are very snobby then after Covid, it was taken over by new people we are assuming that those are their children and gosh what a turn of 180 degrees. service has become so good and servers are very friendly. The owner is very, very nice. She’s very good and most of all their food is still the best! very authentic and very very delicious.
There are other Korean restaurants here in Hayward, but nothing can compare to this restaurant. The crispy chicken is to die for their tofu soup and bim bim bop are my favorites. The barbecue or you can cook them on the table our phenomenon. As muchas we go here Almostevery week, their food stays authentic and consistent. Also, prices are reasonable, and the ambience is So family oriented.
You should try this restaurant and you will understand what I mean. I encourage you to try their food. You will not regret it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had such a wonderful experience at TTOBONGEE / KOREA HOUSE! The owner, Gina, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She even shared her zero-sugar soju with me, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Gina was the only one running between the kitchen and the dining area, serving everyone with so much kindness and energy. She truly deserves a good rest—and a drink with me next time!
All the ban-chan (side dishes) were fresh and delicious, and I really appreciated that the flavors were perfectly balanced—not too salty, not too sweet. The main dishes were just as tasty and comforting.
Overall, I loved everything about my visit and will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Gina, for making the experience so warm and memorable. See you next time! 🥰

From the moment we walked in, this Korean restaurant felt like home. The warmth and hospitality we received was above and beyond — it genuinely felt like visiting a relative who wants nothing more than to feed you well and see you happy.
The staff greeted us and made sure we were comfortable throughout our meal. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and incredibly flavorful Highlights included the KFC(incredible sauces), and the banchan (side dishes) were generous and delicious!
But what truly set this place apart was how we were made to feel — not just as customers, but as honored guests. They chatted with us, made thoughtful recommendations, and even surprised us with seasoned fries for our little one who ate it all.
If you’re looking for a place with soul, flavor, and that unforgettable “you’re one of us” vibe, this is it. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be bringing family and friends. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Beef tofu soup was very tasty, spiciness to your own liking. Other Korean restaurant only has tofu, no meat. Beef short ribs were superb well done. The banchan that comes with food order were good variety Kimchee, beansprouts, broccoli, radish, tofu...Their tea was good for digestion.
The best Korean restaurant and food I have ever had in my life! Great customer service and the food was out of this world amazing
Great Experience. Food was bomb. I could almost twerk.
The food was ok, way overpriced for sub-quality dated food that just didn't taste as fresh for the price. The authentic Korean flavors are there but lack quality.
I had a good time trying all the different dishes but what struck me the most and made me upset was the waitress/cashier and the way she spoke strongly to me to give her an order or change my order for an upcharged replacement. After all this when I left a no-tip she chased me down and asked why. I was already in the parking lot. I had to explain how a tip is an optional thing and she spoke loud to me as I walked away. I don't think I'll be back or tell my friends to try it. The service provided did not meet my requirements for a tip.
Authentic Korean food. Very delicious side dishes. Friendly faces. Perfect place with friends and family.
