SF East Bay. Ordered the galbi plus bibim naengmyun (spicy cold noodles with beef & egg)) combo which together with the banchan was more than enough for 2 of us! Galbi was flavorful & tender while the bibim naengmyun was tasty & just the right amount of heat (medium level).

Food was great and service was great. Never felt like we needed to ask for anything, the waitresses refilled our banchan when we were low or our ASAP. Plenty of parking as well.Kid-friendliness: The waitress kept our daughter in mind by giving her a small bowl of rice on the house and would playfully ask questions about/to her.
The atmosphere is the same as it was 30 years ago. It's like an old country restaurant... The taste was good and the service was good.

Scrumptious Koren food, service is fast. I'll be back for more. Hot tea is also so good, the one I've been searching for. Space is tight but clean. Plenty of parking space but seems under construction.
Hands down THE BEST KOREAN FOOD!!! Amazing service as well, but the FOOOOOODDDD is the absolute best!! My go-to is the Galbi and Gogi Soondubu special!! It's delicious with a beer or some rice wine after a hard day's work! The Japchae and Spicy Rice Cakes are delicious as well as the Seafood Pancake!!! I have been to a bunch of different Korean restaurants all over California; Oakland, Fremont, San Jose, LA, Dublin and other Korean restaurants in Hayward...... this place definitely has them beat by a mile!!!!! I am a total regular!!!!!

This is a hole in the wall Korean restaurant. Don't let the location fool you, the food is very good here.
I had the pleasure of dining at this Korean restaurant, and it exceeded all my expectations. The service was exceptional; the waitstaff made sure every need was met promptly. As for the food, it was an explosion of flavors! The bibimbap was a perfect mix of textures and tastes. The ambiance was charming with soft Korean music playing in the background, creating a cozy atmosphere. I left with a happy heart and a satisfied palate.
I came at 8pm, but they said they are closed. But actually close time was 9pm and people were inside. I would just have quick dinner, 30min will be enough for me to finish my dinner. So

Finally got to go here with a bunch of coworkers today for lunch and we all enjoyed the food a lot. Recommend to go with a group to try more options from the menu. We ordered the seafood pancake, dolsat bibimbap, soon dobu, kimchi fried rice, and the combo A bbq which includes bulgogi, chicken, squid and spicy pork and had to Togo one box and we had 5 adults in our party. We all enjoyed the seafood pancake the best, the kimchi fried rice and the bbq meat. The soon dobu had a lot of tofu and tasted good but I'm used to other soon dobu soup with seafood and veggies option. The dolsat bibimbap the rice wasn't as crispy from the stoneware and was not as flavorful to our taste. The service was great. The ladies were attentive to give us bigger spoons to scoop the entrees as we were sharing and even helped us pack our food in the Togo. The restaurant itself is small but they maximize the space with seatings. There's plenty of parking. I will definitely come back here another time.

Not sure why but my friend and I were not served after waiting a long time at the table. There were people getting served that were there after us…we left shortly

My brothers landlord is a Korean family that moved away from Hayward, and they highly highly recommended Sister House. This had been sitting in my Yelp list for almost 2 years... and we finally decided to give it a try.We probably have come here 3x in the span of 2 months and have brought other people here to enjoy the food. It is a small shop so seating is a bit limited.Personally, service had been great, they are so nice and friendly! All the food had been amazing and hearty. Every time we go, we always order some form of pancake (kimchi or seafood). It's super crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.The outside of this restaurant doesn't look like much so we have always missed it when driving by.
