Had the spicy pork lunch special and it was amazing. The pork was so flavorful and was great by itself, but adding on the provided hot sauce took it to the next level of awesome. The banchan were great as well.

Absolutely delicious soon dobu!! I ordered the combination soondobu which comes with beef and seafood. The soup broth was incredibly flavourful and delicious and they give tons of tofu in the soup! I especially love how they let you select your spice level. Along with the soup you get a bowl of purple rice and of course side dishes! The dishes were amazing especially the kelp noodles and they're unlimited. The staff is super sweet constantly refilling the side dishes and making sure those with dietary restrictions know what they can/cannot eat. I recommend coming here a bit earlier than the regular lunch rush because it gets VERY VERY busy and parking is limited

Just made the trip from San Francisco to check out this spot and let me tell you, it was worth every mile. We pretty much ordered the whole menu. The meat? Top-notch – best I've had in the Bay, hands down. And the seafood? Just as impressive. Everything was cooked spot on, big portions, and the rib was almost all meat, no gristle.It's more of a takeout place, but don't let that fool you – the service is outstanding. The owner's a class act, really makes the place shine. I'd drive back in a heartbeat. Mina’s is a real find.Get the Budae jjigae “military soup” and squid bulgogi

I love this place. I order the Kimchi Pa Jeon often.Today I went to pickup my doordash order. They told me they gave me an extra item on the house and asked if I was vegetarian.When I said I was, they said the extra item was fish, and so promptly replaced my package! That was so sweet of them to replace an item that was free anyway. I will keep coming here ?

Pay an two dollars for only 4 pieces of Galbi?!?! This alone deserves a one star review. I'll be looking elsewhere for bibimbap.

Very friendly Mom and Pop's restaurant. Food is good. Ordered the dolsot bibimbap and it came with a good amount of toppings and beef. The banchan was standard. It's simple looking inside. Busy place during the lunch hour. Samsung is right across the street and there are many tech companies along First Street. I'm surprised there aren't a ton of restaurants in this area given the number of companies nearby.

had a delightful culinary experience! Korean galbi and tofu stew pork soup are absolute winners. The chef deserves a standing ovation for delivering such deliciousness, and it's even better when paired with great service. Cheers to memorable meals!

Really tasty and authentic Korean food at a great value.
Got some takeout and the flavor is very good! Got the marinated chicken and its grilled with onion which makes it taste perfect. It was also very tender. I think the meal could have had more sides but in general it was great.

No huss, no fuss, just great Korean food! This place isn't about a fancy atmosphere it just delivers delicious food. The beef short ribs are amazing. We had them in the bi bim bap. The bul go gi was also really flavorful and it comes with a great assortment of sides. This is the best Korean place around!
