Ive tried the food truck in SF so I was interested in trying it at the Dublin location on my lunch break. It is a fusion style cuisine so be prepared for that.Being of korean background I tend to prefer the authentic flavors but they do petty good with their selection of bowls, sandwiches and tacos. One thing to note is that you will find the flavor profiles to be more on the sweet side. especially with their sauces and marinades.Im sure there is a huge demographic that loves this style of cuisine though.My last visit I had the beef bowl and Kamikaze fries (I was hungry). Again, tasty but the marinade was pretty sweet.The interior is interesting, strong bay area vibes with a mix of down home style. Cool, but interesting.Just a heads up, if you come to the Dublin location, parking can be pretty chaotic. Its a high volume, high traffic area with smaller spots so I would park farther than usual and get a couple steps in lol.In closing, yes I will go back and it may be a good introduction for someone that has never had Korean/Japanese food.

Good service including calling to report missing items. Preordered on Grubhub for pickup the next day. Called the day off to confirm allergy request. Pickup was timely but then 10 minutes driving home I get a call that two items were missing. The person in the phone apologized and I asked for extra fries for the inconvenience, which she accepted. Glad that at least I didn’t get home to find the missing Koja and fries. Food was tasty and family was happy!

I’m a regular and love their short rib bowl. Good quality meat and very flavorful marinating.Minus one star since last time I went the meat proportion was at least 20% less than this photo.Will try to go back for the same item and see if it was just that one time.

Seems like they changed the recipe? Used to love the food truck 10yrs ago. Tried physical one in San Mateo, still great. Moved to East Bay, came to Dublin for jury duty and was excited to see one here. Was sooo disappointed! Pork was cooked separate from the amazing sauce they used to have. The bit of it they dribbled on top was bland. Hope maybe its just this one, cuz this was a favorite

Ordered pick up online from this location while traveling for work on a Sunday night. Arrived about 15minutes before close at 7:45pm and the store was empty of all workers and customers, lights were off, and the door was closed. As a frequent customer of Koja tried to work with the store manager to receive a refund but they refused to refund the order even though the store was closed and the order was not made. Very disappointed with how Koja treats their customers.

I wasnt impressed with the food. It lacked taste and the portions was very small for the price. We ate there which was a mistake because we kept getting attacked by flying insects. I wont revisit this restaurant again.

Very much love the food from this place but the employees at this location really ruin it. Second time they forgot I ordered. Food is poorly prepared and when asking to get a refund for a order that took over 30 mins to prepare and that wasn’t even correct I was asked if “You can’t just wait a bit longer?”instead of receiving my refund.

A co-worker introduced me to Koja Kitchen, and Im so glad they did! This location is inside the Persimmon Place shopping center in Dublin, in the same parking area as The Habit and Whole Foods.I love the story behind Koja Kitchen, starting off as a food truck business before breaking out after their feature on Divers, Drive-Ins and Dives. My teenager tried the tacos, which were okay, but not nearly as good as the Original Koja, featuring Korean short ribs in a toasty rice bun. Oh man, its good! Give the Kamakazi Fries a try, too!Parking is AWFUL during the rush hour, so be prepared to circle around quite a few times. The decor is nice and there is a decent amount of seating inside for a small place.

My husband and I tried this place for the first time and it was ok. I wasn’t impressed with the kamikaze fries that I saw great reviews on. The original koja on the other hand was so good, lots of flavor and we asked for the garlic rice bread to be crispy so made it even better. The taco lacked a little flavor also. The facility inside is nice and the staff was friendly.

The food is really good, and if you ever see their food truck its a good choice.Prices are a bit high, but wait times are around 10 mins for a really good meal.
