“🛑🛑 Best Korean restaurant I’ve had in the Bay Area — considering food quality, portion size, value, and overall experience.

🍖 The massive plate of pork hock was only $40 and could easily feed multiple people. Flavor 10/10, no foul flavor, spiced to perfection

🥘 The bibimbap portion was huge — honestly enough for two people.

🍲 The soondae guk was a perfect 10/10. Rich, comforting, perfectly seasoned, and served in a bowl noticeably larger than what most Korean restaurants give you.

🍚 Even the rice stood out: plump, slightly sweet, and perfectly cooked without being sticky.

❤ What truly made this place special was the experience.

The server was an elderly Korean grandma who was one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. When I mentioned I was celebrating my birthday, she brought out a Choco Pie with a candle, sang Happy Birthday, and made the whole experience feel incredibly personal and memorable.

🏡 The restaurant is family-owned, with the family’s house right next door. The entire place feels warm, authentic, and welcoming—like you’re being invited into someone’s home rather than dining at a restaurant.

📌 Final verdict:

* Extremely homey atmosphere
* Warm, genuine service
* Huge portions
* Outstanding food
* Incredible value for the price

This is one of those rare restaurants that I absolutely have to revisit whenever I’m heading down toward Monterey or anywhere south of the Bay.“

“This place is great!!! Excellent food This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation and great great customer service I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.“

“Decem and QQ gave us the BEST service we have EVER received. No exaggeration. They provided our group with such a wonderful experience and ALL of our food was amazing. We had chow mein, wings, Mongolian beef, sweet & sour chicken, rice, wor wonton soup, ginger tea, and the sesame seed dessert balls (I don’t remember what they were called). Above all, they treated us like family. We will absolutely be having more family dinners here. If you are reading reviews to see where you should go to eat this is THE place to go. P.S. You must try the chicken wings!“

“I love tom kha and sticky rice with mango here. there's a lot of flavors to choose from. friendly ambiance and the staff are accommodating.“

“Ive been coming here for years. Ive moved out of salinas 20 years ago and I still drive 40 minutes when I crave Chinese food. Ive tried other places closer to home but they lack what this location provides. Food is always fresh Always delicious and they have never skimp on portions. Its a family own business and they are always kind.“

“never been disappointed with the food here ! everything always tastes delicious and prices are good. amd the customer service is always friendly and awesome! my #1 go to place for some delicious Mexican food !“

“beautiful atmosphere, the food is delicious and the staff was amazing.“

“Every single time I go to this restaurant, the food is excellent! Ana is the best server! My family and extended family love, love, love everything we have tried. My current favorite is Hunan Beef. The Singapore Rice Noodles are great, eggplant, every variation of rock cod, Peking pork… They can vary any dish to your liking. The lunches are a good deal, enough food for two meals for me. However, going with my family and getting a variety of dishes is what we like the best. Usually there are six to eight of us and we get to eat all of our favorites.“

“great pizza and Great customer service!“

“Absolutely delicious Thai food. Springrolls made fresh with flavor, the Currys wow, my kiddos love the chicken on a stick, pineapple fried rice full of flavor, the duck flavorful so much to choose from. A must try!! Also pricing is great compare to other Tai restaurants. Also service always nice and warm and dinning in just feels comfy. Also enjoy watching on there TV the Tai culture and there food.“

“The red curry with chicken - the BEST!“

“The pizza here is like no other in town. Immediately you taste the fresh ingredients. I bought a combination large pizza and I can't wait to go back for more. This is by far the best in town check them out you won't be disappointed“

“We had a good experience at El Palmar.

The restaurant was clean, and it was not too crowded when we visited in the afternoon, which made for a relaxed atmosphere.

Our server was polite and friendly. While service was a little slower than expected, she appeared to be managing the dining room on her own, and we appreciated her efforts.

We enjoyed the aguas frescas, and the Taco Tuesday specials offered good value. The tacos were good overall, although the carne asada tacos were not as hot as we expected when they were served.

Overall, it was an enjoyable meal, and we would consider visiting again.“

“First time coming. Halo Halo was bomb! Also, bought Pork Rib Adobo. So much flavor! 10/10 Found my new favorite spot! Also, Lawrence helped us and was very welcoming and funny. 😄 See you tomorrow for the Dinuguan (Chocolate Meat) 🥰“

“Good place, good service, and good food. Waitress Jen was great always positive attitude. Thank you“

“Pros: The carnitas were tasty and tender. One dozen tortillas were served hot. Salsa is spicy.

Cons: no place for sit down dining. It's all take away. The interior is drab and desolate looking but the food is very good.“

“Had a solid meal with the guys. We ordered the chicken taquitos for the table. I got the Cali wrap with carne asada. They ordered the chicken and shrimp fajitas and the combo meal with chicken enchilada and shredded beef taco. Everything was superb. Ask for the salsa verde if you like some kick. The complimentary chips and salsa are great as well.“

“The service is excellent. First walked in was greated with beautiful smile & seated right away. The person that attended me and took my order her name Beatriz Cardenas. Was awesome positive attitude. Introduced me to manager & brought my coffee right away. She was attentive to my order and brought everything to the T of how Ordered my food. She is a person that likes her Line of work and transmits her positive energy to the whole restaurant. It was an awesome experience. I highly recommend eating at this location. Give Beatriz a raise she deserves it!!!“
