24 Best Korean Restaurants near San Ramon

“K-Bob is such a cute little shop! We walked in and Peter was so accommodating and friendly with menu recommendations and suggestions. We got our food pretty quickly and enjoyed the K-pop music that was playing at just the right volume. My husband enjoyed his beef rolls. I was a little surprised to receive my ramen in a microwave cup, but it was pretty tasty, if a bit spicier than I typically choose. There were lots of customers coming in and out but it wasn't too crowded or cramped. I was a little disappointed to see that they don't recycle their soda cans. Overall a very pleasant impromptu meal.“

“One the healthiest spots in City Center Bishop Ranch along with the best customer service I’ve received in a long time. Shout outs to Cesar and Maria for being the most laid back people I’ve come across! Would recommend to everyone who lives a healthy lifestyle to check them out!“

“Got some takeout, and they were so generous with the portions! Everything tasted amazing. The Tonkatsu was a massive hit with the kids, and the Jjolmyeon was the perfect hidden gem of the meal. We kept saying, 'If the takeout is this phenomenal, imagine how crazy good it would be at the actual restaurant.' Our minds are officially blown“

“Truly authentic Korean food!

It tastes exactly like the food I had back in Korea — comforting and full of real Korean flavor. I ordered kimbap and Korean fried chicken, and both were delicious. The kimbap was fresh, and the chicken was perfectly crispy and satisfying.

I got it to-go for my hotel, and even after it cooled down, it was still very tasty. Perfect for takeout and enjoying at a nearby park on a nice day. 🌿“

“Tried this place for the first time today and was so happy with my meal. I got the Bulgogi lunch special, it was delicious and super filling. Meal includes hot tea, 10+ banchan, rice, and a sizzling platter of Bulgogi. They even brought me extra kimchi when I was running low. All this for $20 plus tip is really hard to beat. Service is friendly and quick. I’ll be coming back for sure.“

“Love this place! Not super cheap, but not insanely expensive either (I haven't been in a bit, but I used to go pretty often)

Their fried chicken is super crunchy, and I honestly liked it more than Bonchon! I had a disappointing experience at the livermore Bonchon a year or two ago and I've had trust issues since, but this place has consistently served super fresh, crunchy, and juicy fried chicken!

I've also had their katsu, tteokbokki, and bulgogi, all of which were pretty good! The cheese katsu in particular was really yummy, great for my fellow cheese lovers 😈“

“I ordered the spicy pork lunch set here. The side dishes were tasty, and the set itself was well put together. It came with japchae, which was well-seasoned and had a nice variety of ingredients. The rice portion was slightly small, but honestly, the side dishes and japchae were enough to feel full. The amount of spicy pork was also generous.

The only downside was the noise from the fitness center upstairs—it sounded like dumbbells being dropped on the floor. It didn’t really affect my meal, but it might be stressful for the owner or staff. The server was very kind and friendly.“

“I had once had their sandwich in person at their brick and mortar. The brioche was fluffy and buttery. Eggs creamy and soft. Sauce savory and sweet. Potions are generous.

It was delicious, so I ordered it for the first time on Doordash hoping for a similar experience.

It was still a good sandwich, but fell from 10/10 to 8/10. The brioche bread was burnt(blackened not just brown) instead of toasted. I had requested extra sauce and got only the standard amount.

Still a good sandwich, but execution has gotten worse since last time. Go in person next time, instead of delivery. That way you can get your order fixed if it's not done well.

Last time I went there was plenty of seating, but the vibe is very basic. The robot server was kinda annoying, I’d rather they just call my name and I go pick it up.

Go for the food and only the food, and hope they do a better job making it than mine.“

“Awesome food and presentation. Friendly service!“

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

“Amazing! I will definitely be going back again soon“

“came here once a few weeks ago (i only have the time to write a review rn) but i really enjoyed the food. because of special eating needs there was only a few items on the menu I could have but the dishes I ordered and ate which fit this criteria were really nice. In addition, I really liked the decorations as well as the staff.“

“Best jajang around“

“Ttobongee is the KFC champ of the East Bay! 🏆🍗

If you’re hunting for the ultimate Korean Fried Chicken, this is the spot. The chicken is bomb—so crispy and tasty! Even the radish is spot-on (though the kimchi is just average). The shop itself is small but has a great outdoor patio. I love this place, but I do wish they would dress up the interior with some cool Korean chicken-pub style decor to match the amazing food. Definitely a must-try!“

“One of our favorite lunch spots when we visit the area. Staff are always so helpful and friendly ready to help you. Food is good, nice portions and able to eat dinner for the family. Always a stop for us at least once on our weekend trips to the area.“

“I only got 8 ban chan, that's still ok. Just the side dishes alone made coming here worth it. The Yuk gae Jang spicy beef soup was very delicious, I use it as a barometer to determine the level of the chef kind of like you can use plain fried rice to determine the level of a Chinese chef.

1/2026- The potato ban chan is my personal favorite, followed up by the bean sprouts and kim chee.

Bright atmosphere, hardly any of the customers here were speaking English. Strongly recommend this place.“

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

“So good and so dangerous being right down the street… The honey butter dusted fried chicken is like if Crispy Crunchy and farmer’s market kettle corn had a beautiful baby. Do yourself a favor and get some spicy kimchi rice with your chicken for that hot sauce style heat on the side. Bomb!“

“We had an amazing meal here tonight for dinner. It's not easy to create good jjajangmyun and jjangbong so we were so pleasantly surprised with these entrees. Also, the noodles were perfectly chewy and not overcooked. We enjoyed the homemade fried dumplings which had great flavor and wonderful crunchy texture. I'm only sad that we found this place so late during our visit to the East Bay, but we look forward to trying out more dishes when we return to the East Bay.“

“Great meal tonight with the wife. I had the Tofu Bibibop in a stone bowl. My wife had Tofu Soup. Both were fresh and delicious. The side dishes looked and tasted great. Service was friendly too. We would like to come back someday to try more items from their menu. Thanks for the nice evening.“

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

“Great food, great service“

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

“the best and services they all kind“
