Good food, but rude and racist waitress.
My wife and I came to Korean Palace for dinner at 8:00pm. After ordering our meals, we were served banchan as we waited. The banchan were good, but we made the mistake of putting the plates on top of each other which seemed to anger the waitress. Instead of explaining why this upset her, she told us she would no longer serve us anymore banchan. She then said we must be Chinese or something, making the situation confusingly racist as neither my wife and I are Chinese.
The food took over 30 minutes to come out, so we didn’t get the food until around 8:45pm. We were then not given enough time to eat and promptly kicked out of the restaurant at 9:00pm with a “bye bye.”
This was an unfortunate experience because we actually enjoyed the food, but the waitress’s behavior ruined the experience.

Very traditional Korean food. The wait is longer than expected due to lack of staffs.

Came for a birthday party in their big event room. The food was delicious and the owner was kind.

We had a fantastic dinner at this Korean spot in San Jose. The beef bulgogi and tofu soup were both flavorful and satisfying without being overly salty. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.
What really stood out was how accommodating the kitchen was with dietary needs. My girlfriend has a crustacean allergy, and because they make everything from scratch, they were able to leave out the shrimp in the pancakes. That kind of flexibility is rare and genuinely appreciated.
The variety of side dishes was great. We enjoyed kimchi, seaweed salad, seasoned spinach, fish cake, and bean sprouts, all of which paired perfectly with the mains. The japchae was also a hit, and the dipping sauces tied everything together.
I had a chance to chat with the owner, who told me they’ve been serving the community for over 45 years. You can feel that experience in the food and the atmosphere. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome from the start.

I’ve been coming here for like a dozen years or so. Some of the more authentic Korean I’ve had in the Bay. (I lived in Korea for a few years)
Service can be a little slow. It can be a little pricy compared to less authentic spots. But in going to keep coming back
Food was good but service wasn’t great. Waitress was pushy with our order and not very polite. We will not be returning.

Omg I will never come here! It is so bad. The food amount is so little and so low quality. I ordered two dishes by myself because I am pregnant. I couldn’t finish one dish, I asked for to go box. The lady said the togo box cost money and show me 3 different containers with 3 prices. I have never went to a restaurant that charge me togo container. Also she said if I want to pack the side dishes, it cost me $1. Wtf, I didn’t even get a refill on the side dishes and was not planning to take it. It didn’t taste good.. I spent $50 by myself and will never come back. Then she came back to me and said, since it’s your first time, we won’t charge you for the togo box. Just leave bigger tip.

It's really delicious. Is this something you can eat in America?! I fell in love with kimchi so much that I tried it. All the side dishes, including cabbage kimchi and radish radish kimchi, were so delicious, and the main dish was the best. The braised croaker and red pepper paste bulgogi are all delicious. Please go and eat!!! I will go again when I go to San Francisco❤️ (I'm sad that I couldn't take any pictures because I ate so much...ㅜ)
