“I've tried the Daeho in japantown SF and I've had the Daeho in San Jose...but I feel like this Daeho tastes the best??? I'm not sure if it's the meat quality, portion sizes, flavor or what but this is my favorite location out of all the Bay Area locations.Daeho specializes in galbi-jjim, which is Korean braised beef short ribs in the most delicious sauce. You MUST get the cheese on top because they torch it at your table and it makes for a great IG story haha. I also like to get rice cakes in it. The large size can feed a table of four.The spice level is kind of inconsistent among the chains or even on certain days. I usually get spicy and I thought it wasn't spicy, during my most recent trip. (Maybe my spice tolerance went up? Maybe the chef just made it less spicy?) If you're unsure what spice level you are, I would err on the side of less spicy because you can always add spicy to it later.Aside from the beautiful galbi-jjim, I think everything else on the menu is pretty good. I like to pair my galbi-jjim order with a cold noodle to offset the heat. I think the soups here are so good. Their galbi-tang (short rib soup) is perfect on a cold day.“
“The galbi jjim here is amazing! It's pretty pricey, but I don't mind because the food here is really good and I don't come too often. There're a ton of different things you can try. I like the modern atmosphere and I love how cute the menus are. They're like little gates that open up and welcome you in. Be careful if you don't like spicy food, though. The spice tolerance required for mild is already pretty high.“
“Honestly the best Seapot in the area and it's not even close. They actually give you dessert as part of the buffet unlike Daly City and Sunnyvale. Their servers actually asked if I wanted more paste for my hot pot, instead of just giving me water.They don't have the cucumber kimchi but their fruits are so much more fresh to make up for that. The calamari is great. Their KBBQ shrimp is peeled for ease of eating. Their regular hot pot shrimp is not.They have a wider variety of noodles here and they're much better than the ones I've had at the other ones.“
“Taste 5/5 (love the red bean), Health 2/5, Location 5/5 (downtown Palo Alto retail), Interior 4/5 (fine, but no place to sit), Cleanliness 5/5, Overall Value 4/5 (actually prices are quite reasonable for the unique product and good location for a stroll). Please ? this review if helpful, or accurate. ?Thx!“
“Tried the soft tofu (fish egg) for the first time and was amazed with it. Also the supplement dishes on the table were amazing without exception. Note: medium spice is good enough, anything higher might overwhelm you but decide for yourself of “
“These 5 stars go directly to Trang, would have been 2 if it wasn't for her! My family and I decided to pop in for a snack after dinner and it was packed. I noticed it was only Trang holding it down, and I mean she was killin it! Unfazed and poised, she was taking whatever was thrown at her and kept customers happy. I'm not sure exactly what happened here but this definitely shouldn't have happened. It was an extremely stressful situation, even for us customers. I along with other customers were talking about it and was hoping we could have helped somehow. Not sure if the manager or owner knew about this but if I was in their shoes, I would've stepped in to help, Valentine's Day or not! Trang crushed it. Give her a darn raise or promotion!“
“When I came to the United States and got tired of eating hamburgers and other Western-style food, I had no choice but to eat tofu pot to satisfy my craving for white rice. This Mom's Tofu is very close to the hotel, within walking distance, and there is good parking nearby. Shopping and drinking coffee can be arranged nearby, which is very convenient. After eating the tofu hotpot for two days in a row, I feel that the taste is not much different. In California, the soft tofu hotpot is usually meat + tofu hotpot + small dishes. It is similar to Taiwan, the taste is not too spicy, and the price is higher than the previous day. Food is more expensive in Los Angeles.“
“Small little shop next to lots of other eateries and shops. The chicken wings here are huge! So big that it can last many many meals. It tasted pretty good. Fresh and warm. Will return for sure! I thought this was a chain, but it's just one store. I think it's fairly popular though.“
“I came to the area for Tesla supercharge station . White waiting for the car get changed, walking around found this Korea food place. I had lunch here. Very impressed by the authentic Korean food and very good service. The small dishes are very good, the serving size is decent. I had spicy cold noodles, super good and satisfied, will try other dishes next time. Don’t miss this if you are in Foster City or nearby area. Highly recommended!“

“I brought a friend down to Stanford for a procedure and we had planned to go to a different place for dinner, and discovered Seoul Kitchen by accident. I am so happy that we did as the food and service was amazing. You order your plate like how you order a poke bowl, you pick your base, then your protein, and then three sides (banchans). I ordered the toasted rice (base) which is prepared with carrot, potato, zucchini, green onion, and sesame oil (and was absolutely amazing). Then I ordered the Korean Bulgogi Beef (protein), which I received a generous amount, and it was absolutely delicious. The three banchans (sides), that I chose were kimchi, cucumbers, and seaweed salad. They were all flavorful and incredible. My friend ordered the: toasted rice (base), BBQ Chicken (protein), with carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms, and it was incredible as well. I tried their glass noodles which you can get as a base, and it was amazing as well. I wish that I had ordered a side of it. The servings were extremely generous and the lady behind the counter was extremely friendly, helpful, and efficient. The inside was clean and spacious. The parking can be tricky, but that is not the fault of the business just their location. I can't wait to take my friend back to Stanford for her next appointment, so that we can visit this place again.“
