I have been wanting to try this place for awhile now and I finally got around to it today. I found this place on IG. This pop up shop is located in north Fremont in a Boba tea store. I ordered the bulgogi fries and GFC bowl with the sweet and spicy sauce. Both dishes were good. However when I got home I realized I was charged for an extra egg that I didn't ask for and both eggs were over cooked, no runny yoke like it's suppose to come with. I do want to go back and try these tacos but will be sure to double check my receipt and order before leaving

This is the panda express of Korean food.So sweet, and tasted like they used cayenne for any spice.For future readers, here's a better alternative: Ttobongee

I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews but hoping it will help them improve. I also didn't order what they are known for so I can't judge everything. I got the Kimbap only... I was craving it! The seaweed was broken on all of them so they completely fall apart when you pick them up. The rice is not fresh, kinda hard? I feel like it's missing a couple common elements like spinach or imitation crab. I know you can make it different ways but this one is definitely missing something. I would have given this a 2 rating but I don't think it's fair that I didn't try the rest of the food that they are known for. Kimbap seems like something easy enough to master so I hope they take this feedback and rework the recipe. I will be back to try the Korean fried chicken!

Bulgogi rice bowl came with no dumpling and no kimchi as promised, nor substitutions. Whatever was used to "finish off scallions" finished them off for good, as they visually bended in with the meat and added zero flavor. The "fried egg on top" that it supposedly comes with is the same egg that I optionally added for $1 extra. Sauce was overpowering, so I couldn't use very much. It did help break up the monotony once the egg was gone. Maybe that's what people like about street food? Rice and meat were good, but the overall meal was not as advertised and did not feel complete. Any fewer stars and I would have complained directly to the business that so kindly purchased it for me. Personally I will never choose to eat here.

I liked the SF one so I decided I would order Doordash at the Redwood City location. I ordered a KFC, the one with sauce on the side. I got the Garlic Soy sauce for the sauce on the side but guess what? It was not in the bag. Thanks for ruining my meal, the sauce is what makes this place good. Without the sauce, it's very mediocre.

Was actually just gross. I normally dont write reviews but damn was this just bad. I suggest everyone steer clear. Photo is what i threw away which was everything basically. And somehow the fries were bad even.

Read some article about "hole in the wall" eateries and was reminiscing of a great convenience store Korean taco place in Los Angeles, where fusion meets flavor meets creativity. On the whole, I would say this place has elements of it. It's a doordash kitchen but there is some outdoor seating next door which we used. We tried pickup instead of delivery in hopes of eliminating any sogginess (think bulgogi fries). The entrance is a "velvet roped" off door but whenever you knocked on the glass, someone came out quickly to help with things - wasn't obvious at first but the staff there was very responsive. The glazed and Korean fried chicken were pretty good - my other compatriots gave them 3's and I give it a 4. Saucy, not quite deep fried but fairly tasty. We're going to airfry the leftovers today and see if we can crisp them up some more. Wasn't too crazy about the soy garlic sauce (thick sauce). The bulgogi taco's were pretty good - slaw was good, but not enough flavor compared to LA taco's. Corn tortilla was slightly undercooked. The bulgogi fries I think were more appropriate if it were 1am.

Ordered through doordash. I don't know if this happened to everyone but the fried chicken I received is dry, hard, and tasteless. Unlike other kfc, they used chicken tenders instead of wings/thighs. About the sauce, I ordered garlic soy sauce but it looks like I received sweet n spicy instead.. or more like 99% honey with a pinch of dry red peppers. The other 2 sauces, chipotle and green are okay, but I'd prefer the green one

I should have read the reviews more thoroughly. I thought it was gonna be chicken wings... it's boneless thighs... still good but not wings. The Bulgogi taco is waaay too spicy for me. I had to download DoorDash app to buy this good and it did not allow me to use the Yelp offer... oh well Good thing Maria at DoorDash was really nice and helpful
This Aria is located at the DoorDash Kitchens, so you place your order online on DoorDash, and pick up your order at the door. I think there's a limited number of people actually working to hand orders out, but that's a DoorDash thing, not an Aria thing.I ordered food for pickup on a Friday evening (~6pm), and the food was ready pretty quickly (15mins). I ordered the Family Bundle (Combo A), which included Korean Fried Chicken with Garlic Soy (10 pieces), Gangjung Fried Chicken with Sweet and Spicy (10 pieces), and an order of Bulgogi Kimbap. I also got the Bulgogi Fries and the Mandu Ganjung with the Garlic Soy glaze.I'd say the Garlic Soy Mandu Ganjung was amazing 10/10, would order again, and probably a double order next time. ? KFC and GJ Fried Chicken were both also pretty good - note it's all meat, no bones! I have no problem with that actually, just was surprised cause I thought it would be like wings/drums. The chicken was nice and juicy and the different sauces paired well with it. My personal favorite is the Garlic Soy sauce, but the Green sauce was also a hit. The Bulgogi Fries and Bulgogi Kimbap were just okay for me.

Very delicious food. Sweet and spicy glaze is wonderful. The taco sampler is my go-to comfort delivery food.

Doordash was advertising Aria on Taco Tuesday and my festive self couldn't help but join in. 40% off tacos promo code, so I went with the "Homies Special". I've been passing Aria up on doordash since they have a low rating, but after giving them a try (with the promotion), they are pretty good. I ordered their chipotle aioli (mayonnaise base with chipotles in adobo) and green sauce (mayonnaise base with jalapeño, cilantro, and spices) on the side. Tasty! If I had to pick between the two, I'd get the green sauce. It adds a nice flavor contrast. I'm curious to how their other sauces taste. I got to try the garlic soy dipping sauce with my fried mandu and it was bomb. It was a thick consistency. Made me want to order their 10pc glazed fried chicken for next time. If only there was a 40% off chicken day 8) haha One thing though--I was expecting there to be cheese on the tacos since the ones from the original location in San Francisco have cheese on them. I'll see if I can request it next time. The tacos themselves were good. I wish the bulgogi was the thicker slabs a meat rather then super thinly sliced. The KFC taco was my fave of the three.

Yesterday, as my siblings and I were searching for what to grab for dinner via DoorDash, we came across a great deal they had for Aria Street Food in our area. Not sure if there is a separate location in Fremont as that was the address indicated if we had chosen to do pick-up, so I am writing my review here. I digress - Aria's food was pretty legit! We ordered the following: Garlic Soy Sauce glazed boneless fried chicken and Sweeto, Spicy Sauce glazed boneless fried chicken, and bulgogi fries. Both flavors were crisp and had all that rich, savory flavor one craves from a good fried chicken spot. As for the bulgogi fries, the crinkle cut fries were surprisingly still somewhat crisp despite being in transit, and the bulgogi itself was right on. All in all, thoroughly enjoyed our first try of Aria's savory offerings and will surely be ordering from them more in the future. Definitely hit the spot for us!

We doordashed the chicken and it is really good. The kimchi fried rice also looks like theres a lot of flavor in it.
