“Really family friendly place with high quality Korean noodles. Reminds me of Korea and oddly Southern California, where Korean food presence is strong. SO glad to be seeing more high quality foods in the Bay area, and in the Peninsula where there is an absolute paucity of selection. Service was only ok, but it was clear that they were understaffed during their opening months. Will be back!“

The service was equally excellent; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome. It's clear that attention to detail is a priority here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience!“

“Went here with some friends, got the hot assorted tofu stew and it was delicious. The side dishes were good and the servers were very attentive, even when we sat outside. They moved the heater closer to make sure we weren’t too cold. 10/10 would go again“

My new favorite Korean fried chicken in the Bay Area, the spicy glaze was incredible and really reminded me of Korea. Definitely coming back more often for those!! Really enjoyed the Ttoekboki as well, very flavorful and lovely spiciness level. Will try the Bulgogi fries next!“

“Dombe noodles were delicious, the broth was rich but not super oily, pork was very tender. Tables, seats and floors were clean. Service was quick and friendly. They also have kpop videos playing on the tv in the back too which is fun

Parking: Depends on the day but on most weekdays you can probably park at one of the spots right in front of the restaurant.“

“The charcoal grills are a new experience for me. It was awesome! Food was delicious! Service was great! My only complaint would be for the ventilation to be better/stronger. I know to expect to smell like KBBQ after, but I think ventilation can be improved.“

“I've been to this place so many times, I've lost count. The food option provided here has a unique position in my heart. It's one of those Asian rice and protein bowl places where you can order each component up front and ready to eat right away. I just love this format! Not to mention, the food here is delicious! Bulgogi beef and grilled chicken are my favorites, 3 side vegetables with a large variety of options. Everything is healthy and portion is reasonably large.“

OLHSO Korean BBQ & Seafood TRUCK Meal Delivery •
650 Shell Blvd, Foster City - 3.49 miles

“This spot is bringing a unique dining experience to the Bay Area! The food truck specializes in Korean food that's made by robots.

Currently, the food truck only operates in Foster City for delivery or pickup. When you order through their app, the robots will start making the meal about 6 to 8 minutes before it's ready to be delivered. This means your food is always hot and fresh! The portion sizes can easily feed two people. The best part is there are no service fees or delivery charges! The flavors of each dish were so good! The wagyu was my favorite ?. Each dish is served with rice, banchan and seaweed.

They're opening a brick and mortar restaurant later this year in San Mateo, so be sure to check that out as well.“
