37 Best Korean Restaurants near Union City

“Oh my god, this place is a hidden gem! I love Korean cuisine and this place is by far one of the best!
We stumbled upon it by accident after getting a flat tire and were looking for food near the repair shop. The service was fantastic, and the food was amazing! I would easily travel a long distance just to come back here.“

“I’ve had many different Korean food spots and I will admit I use to love some Korean dishes and this place just made me love it more, the food is just so saucy and flavorful and they are definitely not stingy, definitely recommend“

“This has been my spot for the past year and I can’t stop putting my friends onto this place. The owners are cool people and it’s like the cherry on top for it all. Took some grad photos with them even lol

I’m was here pretty much every week when going to school and I think today was my 41st order or so here.“

“Food: one word, AMAZING. From banchan to tofu soup, everything tasted like I had in Korea. The flavors are spot on and portion is good. Their bibimpap is highly recommended!

Service: one of the warmest I’ve had in Bay Area for sure. The guy was very welcoming, attentive and helpful! Makes the overall dining experience better.

Ambiance: I love how the name of the restaurant and “delicious” in Korean is corresponded. Overall it’s casual but I hope the kitchen vacuum is better so we don’t get too stuffed by the smell.“

“I came here with my family on a whim and honestly glad I did. The tofu soup was on point in this rainy day. perfectly rich broth, soft tofu, and just the right amount of spice. Banchan kept coming without even asking. the food portions were way bigger than expected for the price.“

“One of the few authentic Korean restaurants in the Bay Area that doesn't skimp on the food! The Seolleongtang is delicious, but the Dogani Seolleongtang is incomparably rich and savory. The Doenjang Bibimbap truly deserves to be called a signature dish. I would also like to thank the staff for always treating customers with bright smiles and sincerity.“

“On our way to Napa Valley today, we ordered tuna kimchi, original, shrimp, egg bomb gimbap, a crab roll, and an avocado Issac-style toast, and they were all absolutely delicious! You could really taste the freshness of the ingredients, and everything was perfectly balanced. Honestly, it was better than most gimbap places back in Korea.

The two staff members at the shop were incredibly kind—they made sure to pack enough chopsticks and tissues, and they even thoughtfully gave us a banana milk and some drinks for our child. We were so grateful!“

“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.“

“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. 🌿“

“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.“

“a true Korean food. the best bibimbop“

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

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

“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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“Our new go-to for Korean food! Love the authentic feel in this restaurant along with offering a mix of popular and not so well known traditional Korean dishes.

What we’ve tried:
* bossam (grilled pork belly wraps) - DIY, yummy
* cod fish soup - first time to try ever, love it
* galak casserole - another first time to try, very hearty and delicious

Definitely going back here again :)“

“Best jajang around“

“This is our go to place for korean food in Fremont for years. The food has been consistently good. We always order beef bulgogi & tofu soup combo for our family. We love the beef bulgogi. It has sweet savory sauce with tender beef. The tofu soup can be hit or miss. We got seafood white soup (not spicy) for our kiddo - it was good but I personally prefer medium spice for more depth of flavor.

The only downside was the parking. The parking was limited and got crowded during lunch or dinner time. So, most of the time we parked on the street nearby or we just do take out.“

“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.“

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

“This place is amazing! The spare ribs are bbq'ed right in front of you along with all of the other meats. The owners are kind and very personable. :) I went here two days in a row. Delish!“

“Stopped by Mom’s Tofu House and had a really good experience. The food was fresh, comforting, and full of flavor, with the tofu dishes especially standing out.

The place has a cozy, casual atmosphere and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Great spot for a warm and satisfying Korean meal“

“Got a gyudon bowl from the donut shop, seems like it was a little heavy on the mirin but it was ok. Donuts were fine too. Also got some salt and pepper chicken this one unfortunately wasn't very good(not spicy at all, not really even much salt on it. Kinda bland). Also tried a strawberry macha latte from the coffee shop and that was good. Service is a little weird, you just order from kiosks off to the side and then it's like a weird 3 card monte where you pick up your food from since it's obvious all 3 places share the same kitchen with the same guy popping out from behind all 3 curtains periodically. Also the rice bowls from the donut shop seems a bit pricey for the quantity.“

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

“Great food! Staff are really nice. They give lots of ban chan.“

“So many creative and yummy options! We were lucky and able to get a same day reservation at 5:15 pm on a Friday.

Service is impeccable and it looked like there was more staff than tables when we arrived but over the course of dinner, as the rest filled up, it made more sense.

We loved the custard appetizer. So smooth with great textures and flavors from the potato, fish roe and everything else in the bowl.

The lasagna was very unexpected yet delicious with layers and ground meat.

The pawns had great flavor and we liked the sausages and tomatoes it came with. I also love that the bodies were de-shelled as already.

The cold noodle was very interesting with the foam. It's a very mild flavor so this dish is more about the presentation and textures.

The scallops were fresh but not that interesting. I love Hokkaido scallops but I prefer them raw. This cook was good, just not that interesting.

The spicy hot tofu soup was fine. It didn't feel different or elevated from what I've had at other places and a touch too salty for our tastes.

There's plenty to try on the menu and would have loved to try the kalbi but our bill was quite pricey already.

I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try, it's a great treat and dining experience.“

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

“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!“

“Had an excellent experience at Hungry Cow! From the moment we walked in, everything was top-notch. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit.

The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the portions were generous. It's hard to find anything to complain about because everything was done so well.

Overall, an outstanding dining experience. No complaints at all—just great food, great service, and great value. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Hungry Cow to anyone looking for a fantastic meal!“

“Was craving fried chicken and this place hit the spot. We got half order soy garlic (spicy) and half order regular along with some kimchee fried rice. Everything was tasty, even the daikon they first serve you, and I’m typically not a fan. The leftovers were good the next day, the spicy soy garlic retained its spice too.

The food was 5 stars but I had to deduct 1 because the spoon I got was sticky and I could see lip prints on the water cup. TO CLARIFY: they were not used/dirty. They probably had been run through the dishwasher but needed some extra handwashing. The water cups are the aluminum kind so I think that those in particular need to be washed with actual contact.

Regardless, the chicken and kim chee fried rice was so good that I will be back“

“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.“

“First visit to Stardust on a Saturday around 11 AM. There is a good amount of indoor seating. We tried the the purple moon (ube, taro, coffee), nutty by nature (black sesame, coffee), and strawberry collagen latte (strawberry puree, coffee, collagen foam). We all loved our drinks. The coffee is good and all of the flavor additions were tasty. The purple moon (ube taro) was the weakest of the bunch - it kind of tastes like an ube taro flavor you might get in milk tea so not very strong and generic. However, the nutty by nature was well balanced between the coffee and black sesame flavor. I could taste the black sesame, which was important to me. The strawberry latte was surprisingly good - I don't often think of coffee and strawberry being a combo. Overall, would definitely recommend coming here for coffee. There are food options as well but we didn't try any.“

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

“I went here last weekend with a friend late at night and the vibes is what you expect from a late night spot with a lil bit of a party atmosphere. My friend and I ordered their spicy beef soup, chicken wings, and kbbq pork belly and fried gyozas stuffed with vermicelli noodles. When we accidentally got the wrong order of wings and we ate them, the restaurant kindly let us keep them with our original order of wings in which we were very grateful for. The rest of the food was great as well and hits the spot for late night cravings. Would definitely come here again with friends after a night out or just go eat at to chat.“

“I would love to give this place a 10 star ⭐⭐⭐ I'm telling you this is the best place who has the best house fried rice I have ever tasted 😋 the food is so damn good it'll make you spend damn near your whole paycheck 😜 If you haven't tried it you definitely not eating right‼️🔥“

“Great Customer Service Great food Friendly atmosphere“
