Small mom & pop place with authentic Korean comfort food. Black bean noodles with pork and seafood pancake. Fresh kimchi, and had to ask for other side dishes. Will come back again.

This restaurant recently changed to Danbi and this review is for Danbi. Had lunch here and the Osam Bulgogi is to die for.

New name at the location is danbi. Some of the food was fine, but the beef soft tofu soup was indescribably tasteless. Like hot water with a hint of spiciness. Sad effort at that price.

This restaurant has been changed to a place called Dan Bi, and the review is about Danbi.The food is really, really good. The meat is hands down the best part of the food. I got the kimchi fried rice, and its been the best one Ive ever tried.- certified fat Asian man

Food was very mediocre. Owner is known to be aggressive, violent, and unstable. i witnessed him threatening to sue a customer for defamation just because he said that there wasnt a fried egg in the actual kimchi fried rice in comparison to the menu. also, he tried to take pictures of their license plates as they got up and left. crazy man. save yourself the stress and get out of here.

Omg!! So authentic! So delicious! I can’t wait to stop by again from Watsonville, Ca! Their Kimchi soup is unforgettable! My daughter loved the ramen. My friend loved the fried rice. I am now obsessed with the seafood pancake! Try them all!

You can tell the owner is very conscious of any additional costs and efforts. Its a small family-ran restaurant, old interior, unlevel wall pictures, and mediocre food. Pancake and fried rice are bland, no frying aroma at all.. also this is the first Korea restaurant that Ive ever seen that says on the wall that you need to ask them for small dishes, instead of being provided at first thing.

Pretty good. This may be new go to place for Korean food on the southside of San Jose when I cant get up to El Camino. My family had the pork bulgogi, naengmyun, chicken katsu, and the udon. Everything tasted good but there couldnt l couldve been more side dishes.

Terrible owner, minimal service, run down atmosphere. Looks like they stopped trying and are cutting costs at the expense of the customers. Plenty of other Korean restaurants that are much better!

Decent Korean food and one of the only places in South SJ that has decent soon tofu. Nothing spectacular, but this place is a good fix for real Korean food.

Went there for a late lunch. It’s a family run store and they are very welcoming. Love the Tofu soup and the bulgogi there. Been there a couple of times.The food is served within 20 minutes. If you want the side dishes, you need to ask. There’s barley tea on the side if you wanna have as well.The food is very homely and delicious. Love the soups. Nothing I tried was below a certain level. Great place.

I found this place during lockdown and I’ve been coming back since. As a newcomer to Korean food, I got the tofu dolsot (crispy rice with vegetables) and it was very tasty with the banchan. The beef japchae is also very good. The owner is almost always at the counter to greet you and he’s very friendly.This place would be a hit with folks from the nearby neighborhoods and students from Santa Teresa High if they offered lunch specials.

Pretty empty place but the good is real good. About $15/plate but min wage is $15 so its understandable.

Cute little korean restaurant. Staff is very nice and they get orders out quickly. Theyre menu isnt very big but they have all the essentials and a few extra dishes as well. Vegetarian and vegan options available upon request (bimbimbap, soon tofu, etc. Kimchi is NOT vegan or vegetarian friendly).

Food was great. Kimchi fried rice was delicious, as was the spicy beef soup. And the owner was gracious enough to give us extra kimchi...twice!

My spouse and I come here to eat Korean food whenever we visit the town. The owner guy is funny and helpful in choosing your menu. The food tastes delicious, no matter which one you choose. Their serving size for soup stuff are also quite large. Clean interior without too much distraction. You should definitely get some makgeolli when you order and dont need to drive. Perfect drink to pair with any Korean food, in my opinion!

Stopped here for lunch on the way back from cherry picking in Morgan Hill. Nice surprise - space looks humble but food was pretty good. Especially loved their katsu and homemade sauce. Large proportions too. The owner was friendly and delightful.

Placed a to-go order over the phone and expected the order to completed in 15 minutes. The restaurant front is a modern aesthetic in the suburban plaza- eye-catching and appealing! The interior has great ambience, fit for families to enjoy themselves. Went to the register and the owner welcomed me with my order hot and ready. He was genial and fun to have a quick conversation with. We ordered the 2 orders of the black bean noodles and beef bibimbap. The black bean noodles had a large portion of noodles; however, would have preferred more black bean sauce to accompany it with. Yet, the noodles were filling and certainly savory. As for the bibimbap, the food was a delicious mixture of vegetables and meat. The seaweed was a delight since it added an extra flavor of salt! Would certainly return to try out their other Korean dishes!

My only place to eat traditional and authentic korean food.Friendly and quick service from all the staff. The owner / manager is always there to welcome and greet you as you come in.Fair prices and delicious dishes from a large selection. I always try to stop in at least twice a month with my family.Please support this restaurant!

Finally, proper Korean food that takes me back to Seoul! The food quality and taste reminds me of some of the better restaurants in Seoul and the home cooked meals I enjoyed there too. Super friendly service! The menu isnt too vast, but includes the good staples. Atmosphere is basic, but welcoming, especially with the friendly staff. Looking forward to eating here again soon! 😀

Really great place to eat! I got some spicy pork and it was very yummy and my wife got a veggie and meat bowl and it was also great! Would highly recommend coming here if you are in the area!

Ordered the bibimbap and sundubu (tofu stew) and it was sooo good. I find that the average Korean joints sundubu can be bland, so it was a pleasant surprise to find that the broth was incredibly savory and flavorful. Portions were generous and bonchon included bean sprouts, fish cake, potato, and kimchi. Ill definitely be coming here again to try some of their more traditional cold noodle dishes.Support small businesses!!

We ordered beef & seafood Stu, no taste, but 80% of mixture was tofu. Seafood pancakes was not baked properly, it was a bit raw inside. Customer service was good and friendly.

Its a great korean food place but their food is so pricey, 3 of us cost 75 bucks and compared to one place different location, more better taste, cost us 56 bucks same order...for those price, I think will never come back here, 1st time if you want to try maybe ok.

Polite service with a solid Korean menu to choose from, I had their spicey calamari which had a nice texture and the multiple side dishes including kimchi and fish loaf were a welcome balance to the palate from the spicey!! : )

To Roger Waters: this restaurant serves KOREAN food, so I dont know where it feels like you are in Japan. Please know your history before commenting and sounding ignorant.

This is not a bad Korean restaurant near San Jose.The kimchi jjigae was the best.
