Rice Junky - Santa Clara (Korean Restaurant) in Santa Clara

My wife and I recently enjoyed a fantastic dining experience at this Korean-American restaurant. The food was fresh, delicious, and had a touch of American flavor. I had the BBQ pork with kimchi rice, which had an amazing smoky flavor. The aroma of the grill was enticing, reminiscent of charcoal-cooked kabobs. My wife loved her crispy and delicious chicken bowl. The restaurants ambiance was great, with BTS-style pictures adorning the walls. The restroom was exceptionally clean and well-equipped, offering dental and womens care products. Its a rare find in San Jose to have a late-night dining option, making this place even more appealing. Overall, its an amazing restaurant that combines tasty food, a trendy atmosphere, and convenient hours. Highly recommended!

If you’re hungry and want huge portions for a good price this is the spot!!!! never been to a restaurant with a robo waiter before so that was cool— you can order and pay on your phone and then just sit back and wait for the robot. flavorful and filling. the bowl is probably the best bang for your buck. the staff were all really friendly and helpful.

They use a cute robot to deliver your food to your table! I know this has been a norm in Asia countries but it is still quite a sight to see it here in the Bay Area. Food wise it was decent. The Firery Mountain ramen was too spicy (you cant change spicy level) but the CC chicken and pork skewers were Perfecto.

Good food, good price and great quantity. I had the cc chicken wrap and I ate it all up! My husband had the kimchi udon with fish broth

First time dinning in to rice junky! I was amazed with their hospitality and the food. I enjoyed the soup that the server suggested. I would recommend this place 👌. Thank you so much!

New K-Pub In TownDrove here to think that the restaurant I used to go was still here, turns out there’s a new restaurant in town! We came here without any prior knowledge of the restaurant. We were first greeted by two really awesome women. They were very friendly, approachable and helpful explaining things in the menu. The restaurant is well-lit, spacious, and seats are comfortable. They also have great Japanese/Korean pop musics that are actually enjoyable with great vibes! Ordering is easy using two methods: through QR code or the traditional order method. We ordered online and prompted us to pay already! Easy PZ! Anyway, I ordered pork bulgogi over kimchi fried rice, and my bf ordered Beef Intestine over Kimchi Fried Rice (I was going to order the intestine, but I opted in to ordering something to two things). We also ordered croquette and seafood pancake as a side dish.They have different types of sauce- chili sauce (which is almost similar to chipotle sauce), white sauce (which has sweet and chili flavor in it), ketchup, and homemade BBQ sauce. The seafood pancake is pricy, average taste but overall good in my opinion (but could be better). The croquette was freshly made, and it was really good with the white sauce. For the main dish, I will definitely order the beef intestine again. I personally liked the white sauce for all of them. However, it seems reasonable to order egg rice instead of kimchi fried rice so that you can distinguish the taste of meat all in all. I also HIGHLY recommend you drink Soju with it (I was not able to). Organ meats tend to taste better for me with alcohol (at least in our Filipino culture). However, with or without it, I love the texture, the spiciness and the tenderness of the meat.Overall, I highly welcome this new place, and I will definitely come back here again! Bring your friends out here and grab drinks!

First off; important to note that the establishment changed name/owner, from Kotetsu Ramen to Rice Junky) so the Google reviews are mixed from past and future.I was craving something ricey and with a name like Rice Junky, went in to try it out blind. Just ordered their CC Chicken bowl, and was pleasantly surprised ans pleased. The chicken was clearly the star or the bowl, but the kimchee rice could have had more kimchee in it, and not just flavor. The flavor was there but the tang was missing. The sides, mac, celery, tomatoes were ok bon chan sides but dont come close to the regular bonchan at kbbq places. Even with that, Id come back for lunch. Portions are huge so get a box to-go too.

Wow great food and open late! I had the chicken rice bowl with shredded cabbage and the cheesy corn...so friggin good! Cool k pop themed decor, with music videos going non stop. Extremely clean spot, they even have disposable toothbrushes for customers in the restroom..I really liked this restaurant and I cannot wait to try it again. Huge portions as well, so come hungry .

Fun new-ish restaurant. Im no expert in food, but i can say that both the bowls we had were very tasty. The fried pork was cooked great. Crispy outside, with tender meat inside. The beef bowl was also very nicely prepared. No complaints. The staff was friendly. And for fun, they have a robot waiter to bring you the dishes.

Well the title of the restaurant is misleading rice junky I thought it was like rice plates. Kimchi fired rice on its own. But the dish I got was is pretty good. A lot of chef Ken not enough rice . The chicken was rich in flavor. But what do I know about Korean food. I tired to tell the guy to modify my bowl but he ignored it lol and gave me everyone which was great to try. I had my own imagination of what the place was according to the name.
