Small Korean joint with a casual vibe. We ordered the Tteokbokki, Kimchi fried rice and Japchae. All dishes were very flavorful, attractively presented and had generous portions.

Small restaurant on civic center near Starbucks. Food tasted authentic and tasty and were generous portions. Menu was simple which usually means food is fresh. My favors was the Tteokbokki, sauce on that was amazing!

Stopped in here as a last minute meetup with friends. We ordered a few dishes from the kiosk and grabbed a table. Seats are limited and theres no outside seating, so be prepared as this place gets more popular. Our food only took about 10 minutes. Everything is made to order and super fresh.Kimchi Fried Rice - 5/5; perfect blend of flavors, large portion.Chili Shrimp - 5/5; perfectly cooked, large shrimp marinated in a flavorful sauce with a hint of spicy.Garlic KFC - 5/5; boneless wings with excellent flavor!Chili Sauce KFC - 5/5; more boneless wings with excellent flavor!Spicy Tteokbokki - 5/5; not a dish I’d typically order but my party wanted to try this and I think I ended up eating most of it. The noodles are cooked to perfection with an ideal thickness and consistency. Sauce is perfection, just like almost everything else.I was really impressed with this place and I’m looking forward to coming back soon.

My recent dining experience at Melting Wok in Fremont California, a Korean restaurant, left me absolutely delighted. Nestled in a charming corner of town, this culinary gem is a haven for those seeking an authentic taste of Korean cuisine.As soon as I stepped into Melting Wok, the warm and inviting atmosphere instantly made me feel at ease. The restaurants elegant yet cozy interior, adorned with Korean artwork and tasteful decor, set the stage for an exceptional dining experience.The menu at Melting Wok showcases an extensive array of mouthwatering Korean dishes. From classic favorites like bulgogi and bibimbap to lesser-known delights, there is something to satisfy every palate. The chefs expertise in Korean cuisine is undeniable, as each dish is prepared with meticulous attention to detail and traditional flavors.One standout dish that immediately caught my attention was the signature Korean barbecue. The succulent cuts of marinated meat grilled to perfection right at the table created an interactive and exciting dining experience. The tender, flavorful meat, coupled with the accompanying banchan (side dishes), provided an explosion of tastes and textures that left me yearning for more.The selection of vegetarian options at Melting Wok is equally impressive. The restaurant ensures that those with dietary preferences or restrictions can still savor the authentic flavors of Korean cuisine. From savory tofu stews to crispy vegetable pancakes, the vegetarian dishes are prepared with the same level of care and attention as their meat counterparts.Furthermore, the staff at Melting Wok exemplifies exceptional hospitality. Each member of the team is friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing their love for Korean food with patrons. They are more than willing to guide you through the menu, suggest pairings, and offer insight into various dishes, ensuring that you have an unforgettable dining experience.The attention to detail extends to the presentation of each dish. The colorful and artfully arranged plates not only showcase the culinary mastery, but they also reflect the restaurants dedication to creating a visual feast that complements the incredible flavors.

I ordered here via Doordash on 8/31/22. The rice cake tasted unlike rice cake at all (fish cake like texture) and I found a piece of metal in my jajangmyeon. Experienced nausea, stomach issues and a headache 10 minutes after noticing the metal when chewing and spitting it out.

Recently tried the tasty veg jajangmyon, garlic fried rice, and chilli KFC wings and was thoroughly impressed. The jajangmyon had a deliciously savory flavor, while the garlic fried rice had the perfect amount of garlic flavor without being overpowering. The chilli KFC wings were crispy and had just the right amount of spice. Overall, a fantastic meal that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for some tasty veg Korean food.

The quality of food is definitely getting better! Thanks for that. One thing that I think it would increase the core customer experience (eating!) is to find a better way to reserve the warm temperature. This could be done by finding a better lid to keep the container tight. This will significantly improve the customer experience as the current lid doesnt hold the tightness and leaks the hot soup easily (which was the case this time).

I’ve never liked Korean food the several times I tried it but I was really hungry one day and this place is on my way to my workplace. I ordered the jjajanmyeon and was surprised to find it absolutely delicious, the seafood was perfectly cooked and everything tasted fresh. The staff were also incredibly courteous and accommodating (I don’t eat pork) which is also something I’ve not found at a lot of Korean food places. So suffice to say this place won my heart, and I plan to eat there more in the future.

Came here with my family for dinner. The restaurant is owned and operated by a couple and although the interior is a little small with not a lot of seating inside, the food was still pretty good.We ordered Jajangmyeon, rose tteokbokki, and tangsuyuk for the table. The Jajang sauce, I dont know how to describe it eactly in English, but you could say it was richer and the jajang flavors a little more stronger than your standard jajangmyeon that youd get at other places.The Tangsuyuk, which was my personal highlight of the meal, had a lot more meat to batter ratio, leaving me very satisfied for getting my moneys worth. The sauce was a little different from your standard sour sauce, and was a little more on the sweeter side.The rose tteokbokki was good, and there was enough sauce left over was we finished the rice cakes to dip some of the tangsuyuk into.All in all a very good experience, and if youre having trouble parking, I suggest entering the driveway at the end of the complex, because there are ample spots on the edge of the complex across from the residential buildings.

Love this new spot! The owner/head chef is super friendly and was accommodating in skipping the pork and using tofu instead for my request of vegetarian jajangmyeon. Thank you!Covid-friendly set up for quick order in and to-go, but tables available inside for sit-in.

Other foods such as spicy seafood noodle soup and pork sticks are good, but black bean noodle is sour. I dont know why black bean noodle is sour. Could it have been vinegar?

The spicy chibob portion size was quite good but it was lacking in spice and flavor. Rice was good and filling. Takeout is quick and staff is nice.

Im happy to be able to eat Korean-style Jjajangmyeon and Jjamppong in my neighborhood :) The noodles were served separately so they didnt get soggy, and the sweet and sour pork was crispy fried, so it was very delicious even though I ate it as a takeout. The ingredients were plentiful and it was tastier than what I had in Korea. The owner was friendly and made it right after ordering, and the food came out quickly!! May you prosper🥰

When Koreans crave jjamppong in the U.S., they can eat it here. Also order sweet and sour pork..

There was no Korean-style Chinese restaurant in Freemon, so I went there with a happy heart. The atmosphere is neat. The service is also good. However, it is not authentic and is a snack-style restaurant. I tried Jjajangmyeon, Jjambbong, and sweet and sour pork. I went to go and ate it as soon as I got home, but the noodles were thin, so the noodles in the bowl on top of the hot Jjajang sauce were sticky and brittle, probably due to the heat of the sauce. The Jjajang was a bit salty, as if I was eating a ready-made sauce. The noodles were separate. Perhaps because of it, it had a tangy taste, but the drawback was that it was a bit thin... However, the broth with a fiery taste was quite good. Star☆☆☆☆, the meat of the sweet and sour pork was too hard and thick, and the batter was packaged without removing the heat, so it was soggy. With food! The sweet and sour pork sauce was a bit lacking. It was great☆☆. The price seems a bit expensive compared to the food, but everything is going up these days... As with all food, it would be better to eat it on site rather than tossing it in! I dont have any pictures because I was in a hurry to eat it.Still, it was nice to be able to eat Korean-style Chinese food close to home!

Jjamppong and Jjajang both have really good sauces and soups, but the noodles seem too ready-made, and since they are not the middle noodles that are usually used in Jjajang Jjamppong, I dont think they go well together. Except for the noodles, the overall taste is okay.

It’s been a while since I ate Jjajang Jjamppong so deliciously.
