34 Best Korean Restaurants near Pleasanton

“Thank you so much to the staff. The food was comforting and delicious. The banchan was tasty and flavorful, the beef brisket soup is great, the ddukbokgi has a good flavor, the bibimbap has high-quality ingredients, etc. The staff are working hard and more people should come here. My family and I have been here multiple times. The staff were nice enough to take us in 20 minutes before they closed.“

“Fun way to have soft serve!“

“Although it's a bit of a trip from home, my family truly loves this chicken. The flavor is simply fantastic! I totally recommend giving it a try. Plus, the staff is wonderfully kind and attentive. You're definitely going to enjoy this place!“

“Food: Never thought we’d be able to find such authentic Korean food here! Everything we ordered is good and definitely well seasoned as it should be like in Korea.
We’re a bit confused when we’re ordering the spicy pork. They have 2 options on the menu, one with rice and one without. There wasn’t further confirmation so we ended up getting one with rice but still works for us.

Service: they are so warm and welcoming!

Ambiance: it’s a small restaurant but very clean and nice.“

“I am a big fan of spicy fried chicken sandwiches and Korean food is properly spicy. I think their secret is that everything is breaded and fried to order. So yes, your order of fried wings will take 20 minutes. But, boy is it worth it! The other flavors aren't quite as good but the meat is moist and texture is crispy. They do have a bunch of other Korean dishes like jap chae and ttaeoboki that are reasonably well done but those aren't the reason to come here.“

“K-bob is hands down our family’s favorite spot in San Ramon! The Korean rice rolls are always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. Every bite is packed with quality ingredients and delicious taste. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit enjoyable. The atmosphere is casual but warm, and it’s the kind of place you just keep coming back to. We’ve tried other places, but nothing compares to K-bob. It’s a true gem in the community. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, tasty Korean comfort food!“

“Great service and absolutely delicious food! They have slightly higher prices than I’m used to, but not complaining, just giving heads up to anyone else new. You’ve gotta know your worth!
Probably the best tofu soup I’ve ever had from a restaurant. I hope to keep coming back.“

“Soft Opening on the 12th 2023“

“Had dinner here on a Sunday night with a friend and overall had a good experience! The restaurant itself was super clean and well-kept, which I really appreciated right off the bat.

We ordered the Korean seafood pancake, which was great — large portion, fluffy inside yet crispy on the outside. The dipping sauce was pretty standard, but the pancake itself was definitely worth ordering.

We also tried the galbi (Korean short ribs). The flavor was good, but it came out not sizzling, which was a little odd — first time I’ve had galbi served without that extra-hot, steaming presentation. It wasn’t cold, just would’ve been nicer if it arrived piping hot.

The banchan were good overall, though the macaroni salad was the one miss — dry and a bit bland. Service was friendly and attentive throughout.

All in all, solid spot for Korean food — clean, good portions, and I’d definitely come back to try a few other dishes“

“Rice Junky is such a pleasant surprise! The food is flavorful, fresh, and served in generous portions. Everything tastes well-balanced and satisfying. The staff are friendly and the service is quick, making it perfect for a casual meal or takeout. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“We love the kimchi, bulgogi, and wings here. We haven't had something we didn't like :)

Service has always been friendly and helpful.

The room is a typical small restaurant set up -- a handful of tables that seat 2 and a couple that seat 4; clean and welcoming!

Parking: Parking is available in a typical strip mall parking lot. Spots may be difficult to find right in front of the store if it's a popular time / on weekends.“

“When i walked in Heather greeted us with a great smile. Her vibe put me and my girlfriend in a great mood. My girlfriend got the chicken bulgogi and i got the beef. It was sooooooo good. The cabage salad had a delicous dressing and the macaronia salad rice and beef was great. It was very clean and the news and music videos on the tvs were nice. Music was chill. We will be coming back again and again“

“a true Korean food. the best bibimbop“

“Came here for the first time, and got the LA galbi, seafood pancake, and spicy soy marinated crab. The staff were really friendly, and the food was delicious. Everything was tasty and well balanced. Only thing was the pancake could have been cooked longer/crispier. I will come back again when craving Korean food!!“

“Vons is a staple in Guam and was glad to try it here.

All the orders are setup to go it seems (maybe you can ask for reusable plates)

I got a combo with kimbop but added rice as rice is life.

Quick service. Yummy food“

“Wow....., it was quite better than my expectations.... I hoped I had found this place sooner when I lived in the area!!!! Away due to work, I came back for a quick visit to see my brother at the Holy Spirit Catholic Church(father Binh). We went out for lunch and since he liked Korean food I picked this one due to the close proximity to his church, and it was surprisingly good, I mean, not like Americanized; they kept great Korean flavors and taste, and Korean service attitude!!!!! A gem in an unexpected neighborhood ✨️ Will definitely come back whenever I come to the area!!!!“

“Fusion done right! I unfortunately couldn't eat our meal until I get home but that did not matter, the flavor, texture its all there. I was also hesitant to get the Ube horchata cause I didn't think it would work together and I do not like horchata, but it's darn good. Worth the 25 min drive from Walnut Creek.“

“A hidden gem in Dublin. Both authentic and traditional, this place delivers a wonderful experience of Korean food. The kimchi tastes truly authentic, made with their own secret know-how that sets it apart from others. Every small dish is crafted with care and discipline, adding to the taste“

“The sweet rice drink♡ bingsoo♡ kimbap♡♡ can't wait to go back and try more!!“

“Excellent egg wraps, extremely fluffy eggs and generous portions. I think they should add a sausage option, bacon in a wrap has good flavor but often comes out at 1 bite. Perhaps rip the bacon into smaller bites to ensure the flavor lasts throughout the experience.“

“Inside of the food hall, there are three stalls. Capture for coffee, YaDaebak! for appetizer, breakfast, or entree, and Smochi for mochi donut. The black sesame latte was so good! We got the Egg & Bulgogi breakfast rice bowl from YaDaebak and for $9, portions were generous and delicious. For a person that has always been meh about mochi don't, got a new perspective and experience through their chocolate with white chocolate swirl. The staffs are really nice and if you don't know what to get, just ask. Love the cleanliness of the space, too.“

“Fresh ingredients, we love the option to grill, you can’t go wrong. Wait staff is awesome and accommodating.“

“Great food! Staff are really nice. They give lots of ban chan.“

“Best jajang around“

“Great meal tonight with the wife. I had the Tofu Bibibop in a stone bowl. My wife had Tofu Soup. Both were fresh and delicious. The side dishes looked and tasted great. Service was friendly too. We would like to come back someday to try more items from their menu. Thanks for the nice evening.“

“The food was great, ambiance was very nice as well as the service . James K was a phenomenal server and even cooked our food for us when he didn’t have to, he explained the menu clearly especially since it was our first time there and gave a brief description of the meats we were eating. 10/10 highly recommend and will be back again!“

“Fun and delicious! Excellent dogs!

Had the Monster Double Potato, which is about as crazy as the options get. Perfectly cooked. Chewy, crispy, and gooey. Solid hotdog on the inside, which some counter-style places don't seem to care about when they load it with so many toppings. Highly recommend this for hotdog fans!

Atmosphere is very casual and there are only a couple of seats, so a larger group / order will need to find another spot to chow down“

“Lovely little restaurant with the most attentive staff and delicious food. I got some crispy Yang-nyum chicken and it was heavenly. Best Korean fried chicken place I’ve ever been to. The owners are so friendly and make the entire experience so much “

“Every chicken flavor is absolutely delicious!! My daughters and wife love this place!! We have to eat here at least once a week!!“

“The food is good, honestly the price isn't bad at all. It includes appetizers, snacks, and all sorts of Korean soups. The different varieties of meat served here are nice and easy to chew. The only unfortunate and bad thing about this place is that they advertise ice cream as being included in the meal as the dessert, but they are often sold out. They aren't really sold out, but rather the kitchen just doesn't wanna open up another tub of it. The flavor varies and the fried bananas that are often advertised as being included with the ice cream is non-existent. If this restaurant can fix that problem, then 5 stars all across the board.“

“Food was really good and portions were very large. Highly recommend the Korean fried chicken (soy garlic and hot&sweet). One downside is that they have metal chairs with no padding so they were really cold to sit on. We both ended up sitting side by side in the booth seats but could be beneficial for someone who runs hot.“

“A good place to taste Korean and Japanese cuisine with a twist.“

“I would love to give this place a 10 star ⭐⭐⭐ I'm telling you this is the best place who has the best house fried rice I have ever tasted 😋 the food is so damn good it'll make you spend damn near your whole paycheck 😜 If you haven't tried it you definitely not eating right‼️🔥“
