“After finding out another restaurant was closed we were limited with options for a late night dinner. A quick google search brought us to this hidden gem! This restaurant was open until 11:30 pm and the food was SO YUMMY!! We ordered the bulgogi udon, tteokbokki and black soybean noodles, everything was seasoned very well and so flavorful! it really hit the spot. Staff was super attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was really nice too, it’s super cute in there so we got cute pictures as well 😊 10/10 place will definitely be coming here again to try more dishes!!“

“This is my partner and i’s favorite Korean bbq place in the Bay Area! We are such foodies and have been to many Korean bbq places in the bay and this has outdone them all. The quality of the meat is excellent (thick 👌), it’s so clean and the food is so fresh. Plus the service is top tier!

Update.. they def changed the menu and their food. It’s okay but not as great as it was“

“Great Korean food! I’m so glad they didn’t compromise on the authentic taste even though they are not in a heavily Korean/asian area. The server was friendly and warm even though he was the only one there. He served everyone with a smile on his face which was great!

I’ll be going here every time I miss Korean food.“

“Cannot recommend this place enough. High quality food, generous portions, and the price is right. We come to this spot every time we visit family in the East Bay. Strangely not a ton of people, at least not on a Saturday night, so it’s not crowded.“

“We ordered the Kalbi and the chicken Bibimbap — both were excellent. The rice at the bottom of the Bibimbap was perfectly crispy, adding great texture. Banchan side dishes are the Best!!!!

Flavors were well-balanced and not overly spicy, which we appreciated. The service was also fantastic — the staff checked on us regularly and made us feel really welcome.

The only downside was the restroom; it could definitely use some attention in terms of cleanliness. Otherwise, a great dining experience overall!“

“Its a small little shop with no indoor dining but it's inside the Veranda shopping center which is phenomenal and has several small shops like this and offers several area to eat outside including a grass (that high end fake grass) where you can have a picnic. The staff was nice and helpful and the items we purchased were delivered quickly and responsibly priced.“

“Cool spot, I just moved to the area from Brentwood and I've wanted to try Korean fried chicken. My wife and I tore that chicken up not cheap but damn tasty. The dips are good too. I'm going back alone tomorrow to watch sports and play pool.“

“Awesome food and presentation. Friendly service!“

“Interesting location as it’s part of a bowling alley. I ordered off of the Korean menu and it was great. The cooking was very homestyle and it really brought back memories of the food I ate when I lived in Korea. Definitely recommend. I ordered the Dak dori tang (spicy chicken stew) and kimchi pancake. Service was great as well.“

“Plus 82 Korean BBQ is conveniently located on the first floor of Sun Valley Mall, right in the food court, with plenty of free parking available. The service was excellent—friendly and attentive. The food was decent, though the sauces were a bit too sweet for my taste, and there weren’t many gluten-free options. Overall, a good spot for Korean BBQ if you’re in the area, especially if you value great service!“

“It’s a bummer that the price went up. I had chicken Del pot bibimbap, and my partner had the spicy pork lunch special with tofu soup, comes with white rice. You can choose your spice level. I love that everything came with a Delpot to keep it hot.
The Banchan was really good, though they didn’t offer a refill this time, which used to do. Maybe only one server was working.
They had K-pop plying on the three screens, but the music from the speaker didn’t match the videos. Still, food was great overall.

Parking: Clear out your car just in case before you leave.“

“Absolutely Loved This Place ❤️“

“Ok, this is a neighborhood strip mall teriyaki joint, and its not much to look at. But I've been coming here for years, and it never changes: really good food for a reasonable price. I usually either get the teriyaki beef plate, or a chicken katsu...highly recommended!“

“I love Vons Chicken! I really recommend their Honey Butter Chicken and Cheddar Chicken! The honey butter chicken is sweet and salty while the cheddar chicken is less sweet. Both are really delicious with white rice. Their servings are pretty good for the price. I order through DoorDash and it usually takes 20 minutes for them to get it ready. I highly recommend you to try it.“

“is located at Sunvalley shopping center food court. They offer a variety corn dogs such as Rice cake corn dog, Potato mozzarella corn dog, Cheddar and sausage corn dog, and Mozzarella and sausage corn dog. They also have fried and fried chickens.

I had the corndog with half sausage and half cheese. There is a 7 minute wait which they will tell you ahead of time, and the order arrived in a timely manner. The corndog is hot and crunchy, the sauce I chose is cheese which I really like. the corndogs are similar but better than Devil n Angel in my opinion.

It is right next to Plus82 Korean BBQ which is also Korean. Koko is great for snacks and plus82 for heavy meals lunch or dinner.

Overall this is an interesting place to try.“
