14 Best Korean Restaurants near San Carlos

“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!“

“3 of us came here for dinner earlier this week. My husband found the restaurant on Yelp! and it turns out to be one of our friend's favourite restaurants in the area.

We ordered the following dishes:

- Gal Bi Jim - My husband would not stop talking about it. The sauce was rich and flavourful and the short ribs just melted in your mouth.

- Dolpan Bibimbap - The rice was perfect;y cooked with a slightly crispy bottom. The portions of rice, meat and vegetables were very well balanced.

- Han Sang Guk Bap - The best part of the noodle soup was the broth. It was so tasty. I had every last drop of it with my side purple rice.

- Yuk Hwe - I'm usually impartial to beef tartare but it was better than some of the beef tartares I had in Paris!“

“Good food. Definitely recommended.“

“I'm not the biggest fan of Korean cuisine, but I had a good experience at SGD I ordered the Seafood Soft Tofu Soup, which was warming & filling. My friends enjoyed their orders too, including the Bulgogi Pork and Beef Dolsot.

The vibes are cozy but maybe a bit too tight. The service seems a little frenetic - the food doesn't take long to arrive, but it's tricky to get a hold of a waiter.

If you're a fan of or interested in Korean food, I'd check SGD out at least once.“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, great service! I've tried the Premium Ox bone noodle soup, bibimbap, jjajangmyeon, kimbap, and tteokbokki, and all are absolutely delicious! In fact, the tteokbokki is some of the best I've tried. I live out of town, but I will go back here every time I visit here.“

“Delicious food and great service. We love many dishes from this restaurant“

“No wait to be seated upon opening on a Friday night, ordered right away with no expectations. Star of the show: KFC. Wow!!
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!“

“Came in for a meal at 8:10 pm. Staff made us feel welcome even though we got there close pretty late for dinner. Tried their wings for appetizer. Chicken was cooked perfectly and extremely juicy. We tried the Bulgogi beef and seafood rice pots. Both tasted excellent.“

“So good !!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“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 tasted the quality in the ingredients. The texture of my chicken sandwich was perfect and the sweet potato fries were crispy. The kids mac and cheese was freshly made and perfect portion. The service was above and beyond. This is my family’s new spot!“

“The food was great! In my bowl I got white rice and japchae mix, protein: bulgogi, carrots, cucumbers, and kimchi for my banchans. I also got a fried egg for a little extra. Everything was bomb, I would definitely go again. I'd like to try the other meats, i will say the meat was a little cold and wish it was a bit warmer.

For sauces I tried the Seoul Spicy Sauce and the Mayo Siracha and like both with my food. The service was friendly and chill.“

“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.“
