I ordered the short rib bowl, which is the most popular in the bowl section per the staff. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. Of course, I had to narrow it down to one dish.The meat was tender and had lots of flavor. It went well with the Kimchi.Theres no table service so the flow is you order @ the counter, then theyll give you a pager. To pick up your order, itll be ready on the side, near the beverage machine. They serve beer too!Theres many large screen TVs so every seat is great one. Also, theres patio seating too! Great find, well be back!
Chicken teriyaki is good. Korean buffalo wild wings are yummy. But Koja original isnt that good for me. The rice texture is melt inside but heard outside.
I’ve been a huge fan of Koja kitchen for many years now. And the Fremont location does not disappoint! The food is consistently fresh and delicious made with care. Perfect portions. I highly recommend Koja kitchen in Fremont.
Fantastic Korean/Japanese spot! Clean dining area, friendly employees, fast service, reasonable prices. Super tasty food! Only criticism is the fries could be a little more fried. Definitely coming back, looking forward to trying more of the menu.
This place will definitely make our regular rotation of go tos to eat at in Fremont. We tried a pork bowl, the original Koja sandwich with beef and the Kamikaze fries. All were full of flavor and had different flavor profiles. The staff was attentive and friendly. The drink options were a little disappointing, but the food is worth it.
Came here 10 mins before closing time and folks behind the counter were so nice and accommodating. Food was great too and definitely hit the spot. Highly recommend 👍🏼
Had a great lunch at Koja Kitchen. Not too pricy and food was delicious. The ahi tuna salad was perfect with all my favorite ingredients.
If youve never been here, you really owe it to yourself to try this Korean Fusion restaurant.My favorite items are the Korean BBQ beef Taco and the Miso Braised Pork Tacos. Equally enjoyable are the Korean Spicy Wings and the Umami Fries.Today was part of their soft open, I believe. I ordered the original Koja Burger, which is their short rib beef in between two rice patty buns. Delicious! I also ordered their Umami Fries, which were very good as well.
Amazing food! Umami fries are delicious, and so are the Kamikaze fries. If youre a newbie, get the original koja burger. Once youre hooked start expanding your pallet.
The food was amazing and the service was good. It was our first time here and we enjoyed everything we ordered.
They charge you for things that you didnt ask for?? The restaurant is asian, but it feels like were back in Asia and scamming us again. And its not even that much like asia, 1. Its not spicy 2. Its not even Japanese anymore 3. Just the Korean is all gone now, its just AMERICAN RESTAURANT! Hopefully they provide better service and STOP THE SCAMMING!!!
Theyre really fast but even though they have the food ready really quickly it all tastes really good! They also have good proper rice. Everything Ive had so far is a good portion. I dont super love the rice-bun thing personally but its done well even though its not my thing. But the rice bowls are great, and I like the one that comes with a salad. Ive eaten here quite a few times and theyre consistently good.
This place is actually really good, but only when they are busy. When it’s slow, they tend to give you old fries that have been re-fried to make you think they are hot and fresh, which makes them dry and over cooked, easy to tell. I WILL GLADLY WAIT FOR FRESH FRIES. They also sometimes are inconsistent when it comes to the sauce that the chicken for the chicken Koja is tossed in. Sometimes it’s barely a drop of sauce on it, so it’s plain. If you want the real good experience, then go when it’s busy ONLY. You’ll get fresh yummy food.
The braised pork is definitely something that Id get again. It was tender and melted in your mouth. The rice bun burger my girlfriend got kind of just fell apart though. Ended up being a deconstructed burger. Overall, the food is decent for the price. Id pay a bit more for a larger portion, or have the option to add more meat.
Wow, I ordered the Short Rib Burger and a bottle of Modelo. It was so delicious.
I love this restaurant food concept - fusion maybe if I have to describe it? The rice bun is a good concept as well. I ordered kamikaze fries and rice bowl ribs without any additions or taking out anything for the first time so I have a gauge on how I wanted to customize my next order. The rib flavor is good - its on a sweet side (you might not be a fan or prefer your ribs with different flavor or more umami taste but I dont mind and I like their ribs how it is). The brown rice with furikake is great option for rice. The meat size, how its all cut - is proportion for bite sizes which is nice. Basically the bowl concept has meat, rice, greens, and kimchi - I think for me its a good healthy balance: I have my carbs, meat, green, and side. The fries has good flavor (a bit spicy for me - but thats me. Some prefer it spicy). The meat to fries ratio is enough to enjoy the flavor. In regards to proportion and price - everyone has different standard on these so Ill let you decide on how you define these after you tried yours. Highly recommend to give Koja a try.Kudos Koja for using environmental friendly take out box!
Good place for a quick nice meal ^ ^Their signature items are their Koja *rice burger 🍔#Chicken Koja
Delicious food. The braised pork is the best thing on the menu. Korean canned drinks are delicious but trying to kill you with the sugar lol
This place was amazing. The place is very clean and the food was so tasty. This wasMy first time here, but my husband had been here before. He knew that I would like the food. The potions were generous, for I love that hug scoop of rice. And the salad that come withMy meal was so tasty. I even had leftovers, and the counter had take out container for us to put our goodies away. I will definitely be back. As soon as my tummy feels like Korean food. Good job for having this place in a great location
My girlfriend took me there. Food was good simple and tasty! Went for the bowls this time. Very good! The lemonade is refreshing. The prices were surprisingly reasonable!! The beer was ice cold!! Nice place to eat inside or on their patio. Room for a Big Guy to sit comfortable!! Will be going back soon! Service was great too.
One of my favorite places to get lunch in Fremont. Theres a comprehensive menu with lots of tasty options. Great if youre Paleo or Gluten free.
The food was really good. The beef bowl, bulgogi burger, and kids chicken teriyaki were what we ordered and everyone loved their food. We were there Saturday night and sat outside to hear the saxophonist play live. And the woman who took our orders was really friendly.
My son was ecstatic over the way the beef bowl tasted
Offers a wide variety of kojas, rice bowls, etc. A bit pricey but it’s worth it.Kojas- The crispy rice patty for the kojas go well with the braised meat and vegetables. Would highly recommend.Rice bowls- Slightly on the smaller side and you may get more bang for your buck at other places with similar offerings. Nevertheless, still delicious! Meat is always tender and rice is cooked perfectly.Overall, I love stopping by this place for a quick lunch. The food is always high quality and the workers are friendly. Would recommend any of their kojas and Kamikaze Fries!
I love Koja kitchen! With this location, they have chunks of short rib instead of small pieces. I like the sauce and how they top it off with fish roe. The kamikaze fries are bomb. Also I noticed they have buns too for the burgers not just the rice kind.
Korean Beef Tacos were great, I still need to taste more of their dishes.
Went here for picking up lunch earlier today. Overall the experience was straightforward. I ordered, then a few minutes later the food was ready.I ordered their spicy chicken bowl and the musubi. The spicy chicken was good, and it definitely got some kick on it. It feels a bit over fried though. The rice also felt a bit overcooked. I probably wont order this again. The musubi was something else though. It has the sweet egg (tamagoyaki) and bacon in it, with the usual spam (the luncheon meat, not the one that you find in your computer). This is the first time Ive had this variant and I must say Im a big fan. I will definitely come back more for this!
This review is only for the teriyaki burger - rice was great, but the patty tastes bad. The actual food looks different from the picture. It doesnt taste like chicken. more like imitation crab meat... portion was very small.
Absolutely bomb food, tastes as good as it looks, this gonna be my new lunch spot for work.
Koja Kitchens long awaited opening has arrived! I have visited this location twice since opening. The staff are all very friendly, and are open to giving recommendations. I usually order the original koja and some DMZ wings! If you like spicy, I totally recommend the wings. I also really like the kamikaze fries, but make sure to ask for extra sauce!
Service 1/10Food 1/10The food looked wayyy better than it tasted. We couldn’t eat more than half 🤢 my husband ordered a crispy chicken sandwich and it was pretty much black from how burnt it was.
Food was good, service was great.. however, one of the kitchen workers was in the restroom when I entered, and after finishing up in the toilet, he left without washing his hands.. will not be going back.
Food truck food gone upscale. I had the beef koja burger and my son had the original short rib version. both came with rice cakes buns. the koja burger was too sweet for me. the original less so due to bigger pieces of meat absorbing less of what tasted like the same sauce. different? yes. good? not for me. maybe if you like heavily sauced food. at least the beer helped wash it down
Original and delicious. Pork tacos are my favorite
My niece chose KoJa Kitchen, where she had eaten before, as a good late evening meal. Weve liked rice buns since having them at Mos Burger in Japan, and KoJa Kitchens KoJas have these. I ordered the beef KoJa and umani fries, and two people had the pork KoJa and kamikaze fries. The cashier was efficient and added masago from one KoJa to another. We sampled each others food and everything was all very tasty.
We had walked past this place multiple times in the last month or so, and we decided to try them out. Great Korean/American mix flavors of meats and favs like burgers and tacos. We tried the kamakazi fries and chicken taco and musubi, and they were all very good.
Clean and efficient for take out services. Korean fusion fast food, variations on other ethnic food: tacos with Korean flair. Good prices, mild spices.
Great fusion food. In the Pacific Commons shopping center, which is close to my work. Good food, good service. Parking not the greatest but is close to my work that I can walk and not worry about parking.
Spam musubi, with tamago, and bacon. Definitely worth a drive.
Interesting food here. I normally get the Tacos which are a fusion of Korean style meat in a tortilla. Also the Musubi is really good.
Pretty good and the food presentation is outstanding. The soy garlic wings could use more sauce but they are good.
Even though it was counter service and not many diners...the food was excellent! Very tasty and priced reasonably. Modern clean atmospheres and fast service.
Great short order with Island flair, ate there two days in a row and would have gone back for a third.Very good food and reasonable prices.
Place is nice and ample. The service was not bad and the food great. You have to try Koja!!! Great stuff!!
Ordered Koja Chicken bowl and koja chicken. Cold food and had tons of sugar in it. Could easily be used as Desert. Rice cakes were falling apart.
Totally original concept (those rice parties as burger buns are genius!), super delicious, and FINALLY in Fremont... SO happy Koja finally opened here.
Love the food here...it never disappoints!!!
Great food, clean facility. But bring your check book. Got to spend at least $20+ to not leave hungry.
Chicken sandwich was pink inside and tasted not good :( didn’t really like anything that much
Best food I have had in a while. Teriyaki Portebella mushroom do good
Very good, customer service was good
Very tasty and reasonably priced. Chicken would be better if it was breaded and fried. Pork was great!
One if my favorite places
A very tasty bowls especially short ribs and pulled pork. Also try umami fries or kamikaze fries, they are awesome
Ran in for a snack. It was perfect. Quick, easy and great tasting. I recommend
Pork and beef tacos are phenomenal, love the barbecue sauce. Sweet and spicy 😁
Overpriced and greasy, musubi was almost 4 dollars for a piece half the size of your palm
Delicious speedy food togo. Try the burgers with bulgogi or the short rib, great chicken sandwich too!
A really gross food, overcooked rice, old chicken meat, etc. Theyve managed to mess up even fries
Bulgogi burger very tasty as well as soy garlic wings to watch Seahawks beat 49rs 😉
Very basic restaurant and very expensive for what it is. Tortillas taste like the ones I buy from my local grocery store in a bag.
Great food! Very unique and delicious food from small plates to larger ones.
Nice Foot. Polite Staff. Quiet Patio. 5 stars!
Nice service. Food is good and comes quick. Very kid friendly

So good! Excellent, unique food. Quick service.
Order bowl with rice replaced by salad, and the salad was amazing!
Food was so okay that it was infuriatingSomeone has to pay for weak asian-fusion
Interesting fusion cuisine. Good switch up for when you are tired of the same stuff.
Convenient online ordering. Food was pretty tasty.
Quick and efficient. Small portions but flavorful.
They close early, ... or stop serving early. Guess I won’t be coming back.
Really tasty. Only tried one thing so far.
Try the rice burgers they are excellent
Great place for Korean Fusion American food
Stay is helpful, but management could use some work.

2023-07-17 07:12:42The food was much sweeter than Korean food I am used to. The Soju had a bad aftertaste, and I realized later, it was due to the artificial sweetener. Good quality of food. I love Japanese food, but this was not up to my standards. The food looks good. My daughter loved the food, but my wife and I disagree. Service was good.

2023-09-13 22:19:59Drive by this place often, but never gave it a chance until today. Ordered the braised pork Koja and the Kamikaze Fries, both were super yummy! Kamikaze Fries had a nice spicy kick to them and the pork Koja was a nice take on a fusion burger that I’ve never experienced before! Nice clean restaurant, can’t wait to come back and try different items from the menu!

2023-12-07 00:10:21I ordered Korean buffalo wings but they gave me soy garlic wings, this has happened 2 times already. The wings weren’t even flavorful. The sauce that came with the wings did not taste good.

2023-07-22 21:05:05First time customer - tried the Original Koja burger with rice buns; wanted fries with that and was recommended the Cali fries. With a 15% tip it came to around $19. The burger was great and had a good amount of meat in it. The fries were good but did not warrant the charge for me. Very friendly staff and the place was kept quite clean. Will try the rice bowl the next time.

2023-04-29 22:31:57Awesome Korean-Japanese fusion food. We tried Zen tacos (mushrooms & tofu), Korean Buffalo Wings & Chicken Korean bowl- almost like Bibimbap. Very yummy & reasonably priced.

Review №8
2023-08-19 04:41:19Went to Koja Kitchen for the first time. It was not crowded at all. Should have taken that as a sign of upcoming utter disappointment. Went to order, told the lady that we are here for the first time, to help us with the order. Which she didnt even bother to do. So we place the oder and spent $50. When our food came it was cold, the chicken was cold. I told her that my food was cold. She came up with all the useless and senseless excuses. One was that I must have added the sauce that is why the chicken got cold. I said I didnt even touch the sauce yet. So I stopped there and took only 4 bites. And same my we left our entire food in the tray and throw it. I was so excited to go after reading the reviews. Great disappointment!! Never ever again!! I wish I could get my money back or rewind the time and go to a better place that never disappoints like Habit Burger or The Kabab Shop!

2021-11-11 07:36:31The best rice burger ive ever had. The meat is perfectly cooked and sauce complements the burger well. The red sauce and umami fries are also a must try. Id definitely come back and bring friends.
