50 Best Korean Restaurants near Sunnyvale

“Absolutely incredible experience at Don Blanc! If you’re looking for a good place in Santa Clara, this is the spot. The quality of the wagyu and beef short ribs is unmatched. You can really tell they don't skimp on the grade of meat. Even the side dishes were fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend. Took the work from us bbq the meat ourselves they took the time to do it for us.“

“Very nice ambiance and great service. All staffs look professional and prompt.“

“Beef Soup 5 super tender, juicy, some chewy, not spicy, flavorful
Gam Ja Tang 4 hot pot, pork spine, super bony, some juicy, some dry, potato, veggie, mild is not spicy, flavorful
Dwaeji Galbi Kimchi JJim 2 soup, pork ribs, too dry, bean sprouts, mild is not spicy“

“The food here was great. We ordered the stone plate dish which is very good. I also liked their kimchi.
Their hot sauce(gochujang) wasn't as spicy as expected. It was more on the sweeter side.
However, overall good experience.“

“Great fried chicken. Cheesling fries are also great. A bit slow to come out as they make it fresh, but well worth it. Takeout is great and they package things super well.
Overall feels very Korean, down to the cardboard soju ad standees.
Not a super fancy place or anything, but nice for some fried chicken.
Small (8 piece) boneless wings + fries are basically enough for 2 people. Leftovers are fine but you can't get the chicken as crispy as when it comes out fresh....“

“Amazing that you can have a hotpot or Korean bbq or both! All in a all you can eat setting for 1 hour! I think I got up to 3 rounds of meat with 2 people. You can order 3 pieces of meat for each style per round so 3 for hotpot and 3 for bbq! All the options look amazing like the beef ribeye and ribeye fingers and pepper beef and garlic shrimp! They even have small butters to butter the pans to make them non stick which is absolutely amazing!!! You even have a kura sushi style bowls all you can take too to fill in the hotpot’s! There’s also a extensive dipping sauce station along with small desserts and fruit. Waiters come by frequently to check on heat, change pans and/or take on more meat as needed. Such a shame no refill’s allowed, but water was refilled frequently! Just a unbelievable way to have all the styles of all you can eat in one area! I can’t wait to try the one in Daly City! Traffic and activity in the store at 7 pm was pretty light on a weekday.“

“So glad my favorite KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) place is back open again!! Appreciate all the extra precautionary measures they took as they even cleaned my credit card👍🏻 My purchase even got me an additional discount next door at ShareTea!🙌🏻😁“

“The sides are amazing that is servers while you wait for food. One of my favorite Korean spots to go. We ordered vegetarian Bibimbap, Korean vegetable pancake, vegetarian dumplings ramen and Japchae.
The serving size is huge. pancakes and japchae is highly recommended here. I would definitely go back for it.“

“We got the dinner combo menu with beef ribs, spicy pork, veggie soondubu, and dumplings. It was so good and a great value. The service was really fast, and the waitresses were so sweet and kind. They always asked if we extra sides and made sure we were okay! Definitely would come back and recommend.“

“Tofu soups are ok. There quantity of tapas is a bit lower than Tofu Plus and King Tofu in comparison. The staff didn’t refill the emptied tapas dishes contrary to what the other restaurants would do. Prices are a bit higher too. Service is similar to the other two restaurants mentioned“

“We came here around 1:30pm on a Monday. The place is indeed very small inside but we were seated almost right away. The menu was VERY simple, which made it easy to decide what to order. We got beef bulgogi and kimchi fried rice with chicken. The food came out fast and it was tasty. Nothing fancy and no banchan typically served at a Korean restaurant. But it's good to have a simple but well cooked meal sometimes.“

“The bowls here are hands-down some of the best value you’ll find—generous, flavorful, and totally satisfying. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. The food itself is literally irresistible. Every bite of the teokbokki was packed with bold, spicy flavor, and paired perfectly with a cold beer. It’s the kind of spot that’s perfect for a late-night hangout—casual, fun, and full of energy. The vibe of sitting, eating, and sipping while enjoying the atmosphere is just unbeatable.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or looking to hang out with friends late into the night, this place hits all the marks. Delicious food, great drinks, welcoming staff, and a chill, lively environment make it one of those spots you’ll want to return to again and again.“

“An amazing karaoke experience!

I came here with a group of friends, and we had an absolute blast. The private rooms were super clean, comfortable, and had great soundproofing — we could sing our hearts out without feeling self-conscious. The song selection was huge, with both English and Korean options (plus plenty of recent hits). The sound system was crisp, and the mics actually worked perfectly the whole night — which isn’t always the case at karaoke spots!

Highly recommend. I will be coming back often.“

“Food can be a bit inconsistent at times, but their service is always good, and they will even remake food for you if the food tastes a bit off - maybe stay away from cold noodles. Their banchan is usually very good - but can be a little off when they are too busy to control their quality. Despite this, I will always come back because they offer great Korean comfort food. 😊 best japchae, galbi ddeokbokki, sulungtang in town.“

“Tobang delivers a classic Korean BBQ experience with generous banchan, quality meats, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The staff keeps the table stocked, refreshes side dishes without being asked, and checks in at the right moments, which makes the meal feel smooth and well‑paced. Service is attentive but never intrusive, and the team moves with a steady rhythm that keeps the grill active and the table organized. It’s the kind of place where the grill becomes the center of the table and everyone naturally gets involved.

The food itself is flavorful and satisfying, from the sizzling cuts of pork galbi, cha dol baegi, and short ribs to comforting dishes like seafood tofu soup and kimchi fried rice. The seafood pancake is crisp and generous, and the Yakult at the end adds a fun, nostalgic touch. The variety of banchan keeps the meal balanced, and the mix of marinated and non‑marinated meats gives everyone something to enjoy. It’s a great spot for groups, casual dinners, or anyone craving a hands‑on dining experience with plenty of shareable dishes.

Overall, Tobang offers a dependable and enjoyable Korean BBQ outing. The atmosphere is warm, the portions are generous, and the service keeps everything running smoothly without rushing you. Whether you’re coming with a small group or a larger party, the experience feels communal in the best way, and the food delivers consistent flavor and comfort.“

“Bob Sang Restaurant is a hidden gem near the Tesla plant in Fremont. So far, I've tried the Galbitang, Kimchi Jigae, Bulgogi, Spicy Pork, and the latest is Seoul Style Bulgogi – really great with very tender marinated beef – tasty!
Very friendly service with the small side dishes happily refilled. This restaurant has found its way into my list of regulars.“

“Very Good quality of meat barbecue. But service is bad.“

“🎉🎊🍻🍹🍗🥘🥗💪 Congrats!!!“

“Best soon dubu I’ve ever had in the Bay. This could rival any place in LA’s K-town and is miles better than anything you can find in East Bay.

The broth is so deep, savory and flavorful that you can taste it in the tofu, which soaks up the seasoning beautifully. Also, I could taste that they might season their mushrooms and beef before boiling it in the soup. These are small details that make this place really special.

It’s super busy on a Sunday afternoon but one server still managed to ask if we wanted refills on banchan. I didn’t expect that so that was nice!“

“We got there late (8:07 PM with an 8:30 close!) and they still served us without hesitation you almost never see that kind of service these days. The portions are huge for the price, and the taste is actually insane. I'm not exaggerating when I say l've been eating my whole life, but I've never tasted food that has this kind of perfectly balanced, explosive flavor profile. I forgot the name of the guy who served us, but he gave us 3 FREE JAJANGMYEON SAUCE!“

“Hansang Tofu – The Hidden Gem of Milpitas 💎🇰🇷

This place is almost hidden in plain sight, tucked right behind the McDonald’s everyone in Milpitas knows. It’s one of those true “if you know, you know” spots that locals swear by.

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for a while now, and the reason we keep coming back is simple: quality. Every dish that comes out of the kitchen is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with care.

What We Ordered 🍽️

Special Combo #35 – Galbi & Seafood Tofu Soup (Medium Spicy)
The portions are on the smaller side, but honestly, they’re perfect for two people, just enough to leave you satisfied without feeling stuffed.
The Galbi is beautifully marinated and grilled to perfection with that irresistible sweet and savory balance and a hint of char.
The Seafood Tofu Soup is our favorite, clean, rich, and full of depth. It’s easily one of the best versions around.
Pairing these two together is a flavor explosion, comforting, savory, and perfectly balanced. Add in a scoop of rice and some kimchi, and it’s game over. 🔥

Mandu 🥟
Freshly fried to golden crispiness with a juicy pork filling inside. The vinegar-based dipping sauce cuts through the richness perfectly, it’s tangy, addictive, and keeps you reaching for more.

The Banchan (Side Dishes) 🥢

Hansang nails their banchan every single time. From the kimchi to the seasoned sprouts, everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. You know a Korean restaurant is good when even the side dishes shine.

If you’re looking for an authentic Korean spot that hasn’t blown up yet, this is it. Come now (or better yet, yesterday) before everyone else finds out. Huge thanks to the Hansang staff for always taking care of us and keeping the quality top-notch. 🙌🇰🇷“

“We had the best brunch ever at Giwa Dining. The decor, service, and food were all immaculate. You can tell that they put a lot of thought into the restaurant and into training staff. The food truly stood out and everything we ordered was spectacular: black sesame toast (recommend asking for more black sesame paste and sauce), truffle egg sando, sweet potato fries, and fried chicken. We’ll definitely be back for the souffle pancake and cheesy hamburg steak (dinner only).“

“I truly love Kami. In fact, my whole family loves it. It’s a much more casual Korean dining experience with what I’d call food that you can eat in Korea in tents after work or at a food alley. It’s not your typical Korean Restaurant. It’s perfect for when you return from a trip to Korea and crave Dukbeokki, Budae Jigae, Sujebi, Kimbap, etc. They literally have the most kid friendly dining options. Both of my son’s 7 & 10 said they could eat the food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s how much they liked it! Tastes just like a grandma made it. To top it off the service was extremely warm and kind. We very much appreciated their attentiveness. We are thankful this place exists and would gladly come back again and again!“

“The aunties here are so sweet and are so very attentive/kind! Food-wise, they make a lot of their banchan from scratch and you can tell the food here has so much heart put into it. Maybe it's a good thing after all that we had an issue with our reservation tonight at that... other restaurant that starts with B and rhymes with pong... Found our new fave mom-and-pop kbbq spot! We will most certainly be back.“

“They have new items that the other vons don't have. I tried the boneless wings side,4 pieces. Devoured 2 of them already.
Different cut of chicken, maybe breast.
Lightly battered with light seasoning.
Try this place instead of the other Von's.
And shoutout to the cashier lady Maiya for being helpful with the ordering.“

“Got the foods here with. Both items we ordered tastes very delicious. Prices are right on. Portions are pretty generous. Seatings are okay. Parking is good. I do recommend this place for good foods and casual eating that worth the price you pay. Linh recommend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“I have been a big fan of Yummy Tofu for years, and looks like it’s now under new management.

Food is slightly different than before, the side dishes used to be more traditional which is personal preference.

As shown in this photo, the food was very fresh and the service was excellent. The staffs were very polite and handled food with care. Greatly appreciated it.“

“Crispy seafood pancake not too greasy, great for sharing. The kimchi tofu soup lacked kimchi so I wouldn't get it again, but the dumpling soup looked better. A good place for a quick tofu soup in a rainy day. Nothing fancy. Just basic meal when you want good tofu soup.“

“bbq is the best of the best quality chicken in the world. I ordered bbq chicken here on Thanksgiving Day yesterday and tried it.
Especially the bbq Apple Park store chicken here is crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, and the taste of secret sauce is fantastic.
Be sure to give it a try. Maybe you won't regret it.“

“Great experience and lots of detail provided about the food itself. Quite a unique dining experience for the bay area. Loved the fusion of Korean food and hints from other cultures. Overall, very high quality dining and will definitely go again one day!“

“Visited this place on a whim and ordered a few things; bibimbap, jajangmyeon, and an order of KFC. The food overall was pretty good with the bibimbap being the star, the jajangmyeon was good but a little on the neutral side in terms of taste but bonus points for coming with mandu. The KFC was ok but the sauce was a little saltier than we were expecting and the chicken wasn’t well coated, they do get a nod of approval for having spicy chicken that doesn’t hold back on the heat. Overall a good experience with a few subjective hiccups.“

“Highly recommended! Sogongdong Tofu Town is a hidden gem inside the H Mart food court.
• The Food: Excellent bibimbap tofu, cooked to order with great portions. Very vegetarian and vegan-friendly.
• The Service: Sam is exceptionally warm and friendly!
• The Vibe: Quick and convenient with an easy-to-use ordering kiosk.“

“I became a fan of Woomihome after the second visit! Friends recommended Woomihome and I finally got to try it. I saw that they have meal kits, pre-made hearty soups, and side dishes. So far we have had spicy and sweet chewy noodles, steamed shishi peppers, yeolmu kimchi and braised beef in soy sauce. Everything we tried was tasty and did not disappoint. Woomihome has excellent customer service and it looks like it has a great system in place. The side dishes might be a tad bit pricier compared to Korean markets, but I can see that their quality and freshness speak volumes!“

“Both the service and food were excellent! The portions were generous and everything came out fresh and flavorful. We especially loved the appetizers—they were a great start to the meal. We ordered a few classic dishes and each one was well-seasoned and satisfying. Overall, it was a great dining experience and we’ll definitely be coming back.“

“This is the best authentic Korean style bbq i have ever had! Sun hee is the best chef around town for all bbq and Korean style food Me and my family had the Egg wrapping with fried rice and it was the best!!“

“Outstanding Korean BBQ Experience!
Chungdam Korean BBQ is hands-down one of the best K-BBQ spots around! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home — super welcoming and attentive the whole time. The atmosphere is modern and clean, with great ventilation so you don’t walk out smelling like smoke ( we had a private room).
The quality of the meat is incredible. Every cut was tender, flavorful, and grilled to perfection right at our table. The wagyu brisket and marinated short ribs were absolutely amazing. The banchan (side dishes) were fresh, tasty, and kept coming, and their sauces paired perfectly with the meat. The marinade crab definitely worth mentioning here as well.
Service was top-notch — the team checked on us often, swapped out grills quickly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Prices are fair for the quality you get, and it’s worth every penny.
If you’re looking for high-quality Korean BBQ with great service and a comfortable atmosphere, Chungdam Korean BBQ is the place to go! I’ll definitely be coming back soon.“

“Super Pot in Mountain View is one of those spots the boys are always down to wait for. We pulled up knowing there’d probably be a line, and sure enough, we waited about 15 to 20 minutes. Honestly, it never feels that long because you already know it’s going to hit. Once we were seated, ordering through the QR code was stupid easy. No flagging anyone down, no confusion. You just tap what you want and it starts rolling out. And when I say fast, I mean fast. Our first round came out in about 2 to 4 minutes. That kind of turnaround makes a huge difference when you’re starving.

The staff is on it too. They were attentive the whole time and swapped out the BBQ grill the second it started getting too charred. That’s clutch because nobody wants burnt flavor ruining good meat. The sauce combinations are fire. I tried the peanut butter dip and low key thought it would be weird, but it actually worked. Sweet, savory, and perfect with the grilled meats.

And the fact that dessert is included in the price? Say less. For the quality, speed, and overall vibe, it’s a solid deal. Super Pot is one of those dependable spots where you can catch up with the boys, eat heavy, and leave satisfied without feeling like you overpaid. Always a good move.“

“We ordered chicken soup/ Hanbang Dakgomtang from here for delivery on the regular. It's comforting, flavorful, and easy to digest. I recommend ordering it for yourself or if you need to send soup to a friend or family who needs a little love.“

“One of the best place for soft tofu soup. It’s always wonderful to have a bow of hot soup on a cold day.

The place is not too big but can seat a good amount of people due to efficient seating arrangements and ordering system. They take your order before you get your seat so by the time you seat down your food comes out almost at the same time. They always provide a few side dishes as well so it’s great to sample on them before your actual meal.

Their menu includes soft tofu, varieties of meat, and other Korean dishes like bibimbap. Their price is decent but could be on the expensive side if you try some meat dishes. We paid about $54 total for two with two sold tofu bowls.“

“TLDR: Pricey but worth it for delicious Korean food. Service can be hit or miss, ambiance varies, but the dishes are flavorful. Favorites include the Kimchi Bossam and Tteokbokki.

I’ll be honest, this place is on the pricey side, but the food is consistently delicious every time I visit. The only downside is I can’t come as often as I’d like since the cost is higher than most Korean spots. Still, it’s worth it, so just a heads-up if you’re planning to come.

The service can be hit or miss. Sometimes attentive, other times you’ll need to flag someone down. The ambiance is usually laid back, though it depends on the day and crowd size.

Here’s what I’ve tried:
Kimchi Bossam (19 or 21) – Hell yes!
Seasoned Raw Crab in Spicy House Sauce (25) – Messy and complicated, but not the main event.
Tteokbokki – Delicious.“

“I love going to this place for lunch whenever I visit this area for work. The service is quick and food is fresh , healthy and delicious. I love their rice bowls with tofu and the tofu stew which is served with rice, jhapchae ( glass noodles) ,kimchi and pickled cucumbers. Do recommend their hot stone bowls .“

“Rachel and her team are AMAZING, the food is so delicious. I hired the truck for a work event and everyone enjoyed the choices, some folks came back for seconds and thirds! Rachel is reliable and super friendly, from booking the truck to the end of the event everything was seamless.“

“At poke places, it is so important for the food to be fresh. You don't have to worry about this here. The staff is willing to help you arrange your bowl if you want any suggestions about pairings. Highly recommend!“

“the women working here are so kind, attentive, and accommodating! i had a great experience here. they try their best to be flexible with your party’s needs, and i felt like it was well priced! they use youtube premium so you can play pretty much anything too“

“Seafood pancakes serve as an appetizer/ side dish... Baebimpop is a winner for me DELICIOUS FOODS👌“

“Tried this restaurant for the first time! Foods are so good...highly recommend this Korean restaurant�“

“The food here comes out quickly, which is perfect when you’re ready to dig in without a long wait. Portions are just right—not overwhelming, but enough to leave you completely satisfied.

The side dishes were a standout for me—they taste fresh and thoughtfully prepared. I especially loved the pickled cucumbers; they were crisp, tangy, and added a bright, refreshing contrast to the main dishes. It’s little touches like that which make the meal feel elevated and memorable.

Overall, the combination of speedy service, perfectly sized portions, and fresh, flavorful sides makes this spot a reliable and enjoyable choice. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual meal or something a bit more indulgent, the quality and attention to detail really shine through. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again.“

“Indoor and outdoor dining. Great food, friendly service. Kimchee chige, bbq short ribs, ban chan and purple mixed grain rice was delicious. Plus the tofu is non GMO. 👍🏻“

“Absolutely the best kbbq place I’ve had in Bay Area
Meat quality was amazing and the side dishes are amazing, (definitely get the kimchi noodles here)
The only thing better than the food was the service!!! It’s a smaller restaurant so the servers are very attentive and cook the meat perfectly for you every time
Can’t wait to come back“

“I ordered the sesame tofu bowl with sweet potatoes, mushroom and broccoli with the creamy sesame sauce and omg it’s delicious. I love finding places with gluten free options. I ordered delivery so can’t leave a review on the atmosphere, but the customer service was great through online ordering. Delivery was also very fast. I will definitely order again.“
