Yummy food with very warm and welcoming service by the owner and the server. We went for dinner, ordered 4 dishes in total. My favorite dish is the meat Jung although it looks different from the image on the menu (The only wish for improvement for the meat king is having lettuce on the bottom just like the photo on the menu instead of cabbages so it look similar comparing to the one on the menu 😂) My second favorite is Old Style Bulgogi Beef soup with glass noodle, it’s so yummy with variety of vegetables (wish to be able to add more) and a relatively sweet taste! The servers always have a smile on their face and friendly reminded us if we want to order more before the kitchen close.

THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING!! went here craving some korean food and got some yummy, heart warming stew. i got the old style bulgogi and it was absolutely scrumptious. good size for the amount you pay for.there was a slight wait to get a seat (i went with a party of six around 7 on a saturday). there were only 3 staff running the whole place, so it took awhile to get our order. nonetheless, the staff was super friendly!!the atmosphere is great!! they played popular songs and the seats were cozy!! the lighting was nice too.overall, i DEFINITELY recommend!! 5/5 stars!!

Delicious and authentic Korean food made by warm and friendly staff. We scraped our bowls clean! We got the Yookgaejang (육게장), Old style bulgogi (옛날불고기), stone bowl bibimbab (돌솥비빔밥), and Korean style fried chicken (양념치킨). Highly recommend all of these dishes, as well as the side dishes that are served!

Came here after recently moving to SanJose and didn’t know any good spots but was craving Korean food and this place hit the spot! I brought my mother who has never really tried Korean food and she loved it! We would take a bite of seafood pancake then the cheese bibimbap and then the spicy tofu soup and cry tears of bliss. This is now my new go to spot when I want so delicious stomach-warming food 💕

I ordered a hot pot bowl, the meat was refrigerator cold. I ask them to replace the bow, the server touched the beef to feel it was cold. They brought out the same bowl. Egg was absolutely chalk, the rice and meat were now burnt to the side because all they did was throw the entire bowl back under high heat.I let the server know and they still charged me for the entire entree.Please just go to Omagari, it is far superior and better service.

Overall okay, food was tasty but too small for the price. Ordered the wings and got 8 for $20. Ambience is nice inside, though. Gonna try different places next time Im in SJ

The servers were sweet. We asked to be seated farther away from the speakers which were quite loud and my dining companion is hard of hearing. They significantly turned down the volume which was helpful.A lot of the dishes are spicy which didnt work for my companion who has a sensitive stomach. He got the thinly-sliced beef fried in an egg batter which the server said was her favorite dish. He quite enjoyed it. $20. A small asahi was $6.Im keto and not a pork eater, so my options are limited. I got the beef tofu stew which was fine. It was $18 plus another $2 for extra beef. I wouldnt say it was particularly filling but it was tasty enough. I would have appreciated if it had some vegetables in it there was just a tiny bit of green onions. I asked for spicy. It comes in mild medium or spicy. It was not very spicy, which is fine.The ban chan was disappointing actually. Usually I get pretty excited about the side dishes. Very small portions and just so-so taste.Its not a great neighborhood but I felt okay parking in the parking lot, there was ample parking. Street parking was very limited. They close the kitchen at 8:30 p.m.The decor is minimalist and clean. There was a distracting squeaking noise coming from the corner which Im assuming was outside, maybe a pole in the wind?Total was just over 50 bucks. They had suggested tips of 16, 18 and 22%.I probably wouldnt be back but it was fine.

Great Korean place right outside of downtown San Jose! Love love love the stir fry here. The stone bowls, soups, and kimchi is good here as well. Bulgolgi is a little too sweet for my taste. They also have beers and other alcoholic beverages. Free street parking.

We decided to visit here after reading many nice reviews. And it didn’t disappoint.It’s a family run business, with a simple and neat decor. We decided to have Bibimbap and Kimchi fried rice and they tasted pretty good.Totally satisfied with the service and I would visit again sometime.
