$18 for a bulgogi plate?? That's just not right.
Food: 1
I ordered the kimbap, Bulgogi Plate, and tteokbokki. Each dish was sizable and very filling. The Tteokbokki was hot to handle so be careful. Their restaurant is small and doesn't have in door seating but out door seating is fine in these summer days. The kimbap I enjoyed very much but wish there was some sauce to pair up. The bulgogi plate was massive and definitely can be shared.

Finally got a chance to stop by as it is a little bit off the beaten path. Ordered a 4 piece wings (Korean spicy), fries, and bulgogi kimbap. Wings were saucy and good. Fries were thin and crispy. The bulgogi kimbap was fresh and tasty. I actually drove back on the way home for another order of the kimbap. Nothing survived long enough for a photo.

My favorite spot for Korean fried chicken in the Bay Area! I love getting their small boneless combo: half sweet-and-spicy and half soy-garlic for flavors. That soy garlic sauce is seriously BOMB. Moreover, the combo comes with a container of rice, coleslaw, and some pickled daikon for banchan (and theirs tastes really delicious- not too tart or acidic, but tasty with plenty of crisp texture!). The small combo is enough food for both me and my husband (2 average Asians) to share for a filling dinner. :)I've tried some of their other stuff but wasn't as fond of many other dishes (their tofu soup lacks some flavor, their bulgogi and galbi were lackluster in taste and quantity). However, their kimbap is filling and pretty good! I also love their bunggeopang (fried pastry with red bean filling)! They make these fresh!I've coordinated with them for catering before, and they also do a great job. Easy communication process over the phone, and they were timely when I went to pickup my large orders. Everyone loved their food, totally recommend!They also appear to be a small, family-run hole-in-the-wall. Come by and support this wonderful local business!

Everything is good except for the tofu soup, it’s a bit bland.

The Korean barbecue ribs are great. The chicken is great but I ordered noodles today and got one 1 inch piece of meat and the rest is noodles. I also ordered the mini shrimp and those are micro shrimp but the flavors are good but I will never order that again.

Really great food, and of the Korean chicken places I have explored around the Hayward area really captures pretty authentic KFC flavors in both sauces this establishment has. The soy garlic has that nice bit of added flavor and the Korean spicy sauce is sweet and closer to a Thai chili with something like an added gochujang influence. They both have a pretty solid crunch. Also the bulgogi kimbap is really great, with that perfect marinated bulgogi flavor on big cuts of kimbap. I like the radish they serve on the side it tastes much like BHC type of radish, syrupy and sweet almost like 7up or an equivalent was used to soak it. The service is really friendly, nice folks working here. I like this place a lot, thanks for the good food!

Korean spicy chicken wings and gimpab are fire. No frills, solid comfort foods, and sweet Korean family-run restaurant too. Their store was recently broken into by robbers — please support!
