Spoon Korean Bistro in Fremont

Food tasted like frozen section of KP market that was heated up. Service was not good. They didnt refill our empty bottle of water used to refill our own water cups. Water cups smelled gross before we even poured the water in it. They didnt refill our kimchi. Basic service for a Korean place with barely any ppl in it was lacking. I give 2 stars because they had a smile on their face but no sense for how service in a Korean restaurant should be. Kimchi dumplings did not taste like kimchi or had any cabbage in it at all. And we mentioned it to them but nothing was done about it. Spam kimbap was just raw spam cut up and put in it. Atleast grill the spam first. Pork belly was flavorless. Menu says there was suppose to be lettuce too wrap the kbbq with but it never came out. Cabbage was just steamed and unseasoned. Not even a little salt. Pork Belly tasted like it was boiled and then pan fried. Not very flavorful and soft. The Korean Noodle Soup was kind of salty and spicy but not much as far as flavor. There was a little flavor but not much. The noodles absorbed into the broth so easily and made the broth thick even though the soup was still really hot. We didnt like the thick broth. The Jobs Tears drink tastes like the little packets you get in a box from KP market. Just mixed with water. Nothing special about it but it wasnt bad.

OMG by far one of the best Bibimbaps Ive ever tried!Also liked the vegetable pancakes & Spicy Tofu Ramen, the flavors are just too good.Definitely coming back to try other dishes.

Very good Korean food and service! I like the vegetarian tofu stew and kim chee pancakes! The side dishes for the meal made a great compliment to the meal! Looking forward to returning!

We visit here quite often and food is great. However, be careful of weekend / Sunday lunch as they opened at 12.30 and were not setup to serve when they did. We ordered at 12.40 and food was delivered at 1.30. Such a long wait which is not like other times we visited

My coworker and me ordered soft tofu soup. Last time our orders come with 4 small side dishes. This time they only gave one side dish. We called and were told that “sorry, we are busy, so only one side dish today. Next time you will have 4 side dishes”. WHAT!!!!???? are you oh kidding me?I understand you might have no time to pack 4 side dishes for our orders as you explained over the phone with your broken English. Then shouldn’t you provide a discount?? We paid the full price! Oh btw…. My coworker saw you put 4 side dishes in other people’s orders…….We offered to go back picking up other side dishes, guess what? the lady hung up!Unbelievable…. Bad service

Decent restaurant but a bit understaffJab Chaekorean glass noodle with vegetables such as mushroom, bell pepperit tastes good but the portion is a bit smaller than expectedSoft Tofu Stewyou can pick your protein such as beef, pork, seafood (price will be different based on the choices of protein)it is good but not the best tofu soup in bay areathey offer weekday lunch special (Mon - Thu)

Super delicious food! Very tasty and big portions! Love love the kimchi fried rice with chicken! The tofu soft soup was nice it just melted in my mouth. It is literally a block away from my hotel room along with many other shops. The cashier was super friendly and gave me almost all of my requests which is almost nothing really spicy and oddly the restaurant has a lot of spicy 🌶 foods...he worked with me hello!!!! That’s what I like!

Food all tasted good. BBQ chicken is not kbbw style though. More like grilled chicken with bbq sauce. Food took a while to come out though.

Delicious Korean food!! Service was great and food was even better. All the items we ordered had great portion size and tasted awesome. Highly recommended and i will be back!

- seafood pancake ($15)- kimchi fried rice ($15)nothing hits the spot the way their seafood pancake and kimchi fried rice w/beef [not pictured] did! their kimchi fried rice was so rich in flavor and the crunchy/crispiness of the seafood pancake makes my mouth water just thinking about these two dishes -chef kiss-!! i have to add that out of all the fishcake banchan i tried at other places - spoon Korean bistros fishcake banchan is one of the best ones ive tried. 10/10 would come back again to try other dishes.tip: unisex bathroom available, family & kids friendly, lots of parking available
