23 Best Korean Restaurants near San Ramon

“K-Bob is one of my go-tos for takeout, they have an easy online ordering process and my food is always ready on time. Their kimbap is huge and stuffed with ingredients - Lord of the Roll is my favorite. I also love the yubu - caterpillar and salmon are my favorite. They also have a 4 yubu + free miso soup combo which I love. The owners are friendly and attentive. They always seem to be quiet and not too crowded.“

“I have been coming to this World Wrapps spot for years now, and aside from the fact that the food is just delicious? The customer service is beyond outstanding!
The food has fresh and delicious ingredients, perfectly proportioned to where you feel satisfied with every meal. But what makes this place really special are the employees. Anya is so sweet and remembered my order from just one time she assisted me. Her and other employees like Cesar are such a pleasure to see and engage with. Everyone is amiable, and you truly feel appreciated as a customer, whether you are doing take-out or enjoying your meal dining in. I will drive from wherever just to have a good meal and relax while doing so. I can’t recommend enough! Love this place!“

“When i walked in Heather greeted us with a great smile. Her vibe put me and my girlfriend in a great mood. My girlfriend got the chicken bulgogi and i got the beef. It was sooooooo good. The cabage salad had a delicous dressing and the macaronia salad rice and beef was great. It was very clean and the news and music videos on the tvs were nice. Music was chill. We will be coming back again and again“

“Su-Min- our server- and the cooks in the kitchen made our experience one of a kind. We started off dinner at a different location where the food was sadly subpar. This was our redemption opportunity and FAR exceeded our expectations!! The spicy pork was simply to die for, the japchae was phenomenal and the sides that complimented the other dishes we ordered were such awesome additions! The price to feed our family of four was only $65 which greatly impressed us as this was the final eatery we went to in several different locations, from Danville out to San Fran. If you like asian cuisine, do your palate and belly a favor and stop in. Su-Min knows what first class service is and goes above and beyond to ensure you’re comfortable and have all you need. Our waters were topped off almost intuitively, like he knew whenever we needed that, and he brought over an extra table to give us additional room while our kids colored as our food was prepared.“

“My son-in-law went to school in Korea, which is how he got familiar with Korean food. Hang Yang BBQ is a short drive from his house, and it's where he eats on special occasions. The BBQ we ate was delicious, but this is not a one-off because I have eaten here three times. It's also a good sign that other customers are Korean. I'll keep coming back.“

“Nice hidden gem, legit Korean cuisine. All the locals know about this spot. Good eats, good prices, good service. They give many banchan items, I got half Daeji Bulgogi + Dak Gui (Spicy Pork + Grilled Chicken) and Seafood Pancake. Also pictured is Combo with Bulgogi + Soondubu Jjigae (Spicy Beef + Soft Tofu Stew. DEFINITELY give it a try, they don't disappoint“

“This was my first time trying Korean food, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The kimchi had a delightful spice to it with a well-balanced flavor that wasn’t overwhelming—perfect for first-timers. Personally, I enjoy a bit of a kick in my kimchi, and this one delivered just enough heat while remaining savory.

I ordered the beef short ribs, and my wife opted for the beef fried rice. From the moment the food arrived, the aroma was incredible. The short ribs were flavorful and aromatic, but I felt the texture could have been improved. They were slightly chewy, and for short ribs, I prefer them to be more tender and easier to eat. For that reason, I’d give them a 3.5 out of 5. While the tenderness could have been better, the taste and presentation were still on point.

My wife’s beef fried rice, on the other hand, was outstanding. I have to admit—it was the highlight of our meal. If you visit this spot, I highly recommend trying the fried rice. It was hands down the best I’ve had, and the fried egg on top was a nice touch. I’d rate it a solid 4.5 out of 5. My only suggestion would be to make the egg yolk slightly runnier, which could add an extra layer of umami. Even so, it was absolutely delicious.

As you can see in the photos (taken a bit late into the meal), the food looked fantastic even after we started digging in. The portions are generous—enough to share, though not quite family-style. For our meal, we spent about $30-$40 per person, which felt slightly on the pricier side. Fortunately, our son just snacked on our plates, so we didn’t need to order a separate dish for him.

Overall, this was a wonderful spot for lunch. The food was flavorful, the portions were satisfying, and the experience was enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“Awesome food and presentation. Friendly service!“

“The Korean fried chicken was delicious. The staff was a big help. They helped me pick out a good bottle of cold sake.“

“Sinfully good soft serve & taiyaki! We got:
* milk & sweet corn soft serve swirl with a custard-filled taiyaki
* ube soft serve with a matcha-filled taiyaki

We just wish the ube soft serve had a stronger ube taste to it but otherwise, definitely passing by here every time we're in the area!“

“I consider myself to be a breakfast burrito afficianado and the non-traditional Korean BBQ pork breakfast burrito with avocado I had at this place was among the best breakfast burritos I have ever eaten. I am just sad this place is so far from my house or I would get breakfast here as often as I could… the eggs were divine and the combination of flavors perfect. I would really like to try their other sandwiches and breakfast burritos as well… makes me look forward to the next time I bring in our Toyota for scheduled maintenance!“

“The sweet rice drink♡ bingsoo♡ kimbap♡♡ can't wait to go back and try more!!“

“Since moving out to San ramon, my family & I tried finding a local decent Korean restaurant! Been eating @ Young Dong for years now, it’s probably the best Korean food in the area (besides east bay- hayward/oakland)!

Attentive staff & quick service every time. Usually 2-3 women waitressing. The actual restaurant is simple, basic tables & chairs. Nothing fancy, But always clean. Working one person bathrooms. They have highchairs for the babies. And booster seats. Chopsticks and forks.

My favorite meat is Kalbi & Bulgogi…. Always get kimchee pancake to start. They have a delicious iced cold sweet rice drink with little pieces of rice at the bottom which I order every time.

Pretty decent side dishes…. We always ask for more honey potatoes and bean sprouts though. The radish soup hits the spot also… okay I’m getting hungry for Korean food writing this now… Lol

Go visit!“

“Best jajang around“

“They serve freshly fried chicken, and even though you must wait 15-20 minutes, it's worth it. We ordered the extra crispy chicken, which was very flavorful and crunchy. The pickled radish that came with the chicken also tasted sweet and crispy. After I made my order, I noticed they have a Wednesday Special. Maybe I will try it next time.“

“We planned to go shopping at CVS and happened to find this store. It was unexpectedly delicious. The bulgogi meat tasted very good and the portion was large, but it was a bit sweet. The bibimbap was delicious and tasted good, and the rice also tasted good. Some side dishes were also given, which is worth trying if you happen to be nearby.“

“Really impressed by the chicken here. I would suggest trying at least one of your two sauce choices on the side so you can get a true taste of the batter. It is delicious, juicy, and so very crunchy this way. I tried the soy garlic which was nicely garlicky, as well as the spicy (hot) which I had on the side. The spicy sauce reminded me of samyang noodles sauce a bit. The cabbage salad is an excellent pairing and the pickled radish was sweet and a great pallette cleanser. Definitely a recommend. Friendly service and warm nice dining area. Best KFC I have had outside Korea so far.“

“Fresh ingredients, we love the option to grill, you can’t go wrong. Wait staff is awesome and accommodating.“

“Man, this spot just started serving bubble tea! I grabbed the Thai tea with boba today, and it’s seriously good. Highly recommend it. The flavor’s legit. Service is on point, and everything’s made fresh. Hands down, my go-to fried chicken joint in the Bay Area!“

“I just went today, and this one lady that took my order at the front was suuper nice! She wasn't rude, or harsh too! I love the atmosphere, although I think it could be a little bit more decorated just to make the ambience more at home. The food is really, really good too. I thought the portions would be small, but they are absolutely MASSIVE. I got the Flaming Hot Cheeto Potato Mozzarella Hot Dog which was rlly good for only $6.99, and the cheese pull was a 10/10 for sure! If you're around the place, I def recommend u stop by! :)“

“A good place to taste Korean and Japanese cuisine with a twist.“

“The food here is good, but not the best. It is kind of pricy… The waiter and the waitress are nice and serving the food pretty fast even it was crowded.
The seafood pancake is pretty good that it is not super crunchy compare to other places.
The seafood over rice is just so so. Not sure if it was Sunday that it gets really busy, it tasted like not seasoned properly.
I am not a fan of the ja jang noodle, but my girl said it tastes really good and the portion is big.

Parking: There are a lot of parking spaces in a huge parking lot that shared with other restaurants and stores there.“

“Every chicken flavor is absolutely delicious!! My daughters and wife love this place!! We have to eat here at least once a week!!“
