The restaurant space is quite cramped but the staff's ability to regulate customers is quite good, you don't have to wait too long if you don't book a table in advance. The food is very delicious, perhaps this is the reason many Koreans come to eat here.Parking: There is free parking right in front of the restaurant, but because the parking lot is inside the building, there is constant competition for parking spaces.

Their corn cheese is the best in town! I always order this. It's huge and so cheap. Drooling

I've been to convoy so many times but finally tried this place recently. The inside has a really wholesome and homey feel. The lady working there is really nice the food was better than the average Korean restaurant for sure! The side dishes and Korean army stew were highlights for me.

K-cuisine is a good place to come and grab a late night meal. They are open until 2:00 a.m. on the weekends. Most of the restaurants around convoy clothes around 9:00 to 10:00 so it's nice to have an option to come to if you're looking for something later at night to eat. Plus the workers here are so nice. Most of the time is just the sweet older lady that works by herself and manages it just fine. It can get a little busier at times so things might be a little slower so you might have to bear with it. It's hard to get mad at someone so cool. The food here is pretty decent especially when times are slim Pickens at late hours. The galby ribs are a no-brainer. I personally like the grilled eel and the corn cheese. We also tried the spicy rib hot part before and that was really tasty. Usually I'll come here with a couple friends so we can try more of the dishes.

Small place, tucked in the corner of a strip mall. I got the pork and kimchi hot tofu soup. It came with purple rice and was delicious. My boyfriend got the rice cake (tbokki) and it had lots of veggies in it which was nice. He also got some type of noodle dish which was good. Friendly workers, quick service. Very happy with this late night stop.

This place is pretty much the only place I'd go to in San Diego for late night eats that have soup and wholesome home cooked Korean foods. The inside is quite small. If you come during the late nights, there's lots of parking and there's not too many people seated. This place looks like a mom and pop shop. Definitely give them a try!

We have been to this busy plaza on Convoy St. and passed by this Korean restaurant for like a thousand times. We never thought of walking in and trying their food until recently. This is an authentic Korean restaurant that serves many of classic Korean food. The menu is pretty simple with some options of noodles, tofu soup, stir fried plates, seafood pancakes, etc. The decor is simple and only one waitress who may be the owner. The ambiance is a simple Korean restaurant that you know it's authentic. We ordered three items on the menu. Their beef soft tofu soup was pretty good. It's simple, not particularly memorable. The portion is slightly larger than other Korean restaurant, but again the flavor is typical. The steamed rice that came with the soup was too soft, sadly. I like the rice to be more firm. The clam soup was really good. She gave us a generous amount of clams. The soup is simple with white pepper flavors and green onion. Lastly, the stir friend squid is okay. It's not spicy. I felt it would be better to be slightly spicy. We didn't order to be spicy but thought it would be already and didn't need to specify. I really like their side dishes. She gave us a generous amount. I liked the variety including one item that I haven't seen before, which was spam covered with egg. Overall, it's an authentic Korean restaurant with good food. Nothing fancy, but you know it's Korean.
This place is super cozy and homey. I love the decor with the fishing rods. The food came in generous portions and the side dishes were plentiful . My favorite was the tofu soup! The service was very friendly and nice.

My first time at K Cuisine was on a Saturday night to celebrate a friend's birthday. The food took a bit of time to make but it was worth the experience of a home cooked meal. The portions are huge and made to share between friends and family. Do not come here to eat by yourself unless you want leftovers or have a big appetite. My favorite dish is the plain fried chicken (not pictured) with a side of sauce and tteokbokki with spicy sauce. Everything on the menu is delicious so I recommend it all! Thank you to the server and chef who let me sit in the restaurant for ~30 minutes to wait for my party and served me water while I waited. I appreciate that they put our birthday cake in the fridge for us and brought it out when we were ready to blow out the candles.

Craving soup late at night, K cuisine is the place to go. Their soups are nice and meaty and very filling. I also really enjoy the purple rice that comes with each entree. Service here is quick and friendly and the night vibe is quiet. Definitely a to go spot for late night dinners or Korean food cravings

I think this is the best quality Korean food I've had in San Diego. Its very humble on the inside nothing to be seen inside but the galbi was very soft, tender, and flavorful. The beef tofu soup was delicious too.
