Top Korean Restaurant in Pleasanton
Aria Korean Street Food (Inside Bak Kung)
2693 Stoneridge Dr #106, Pleasanton, CA 94588, United States
Strange experience.We went for take-out and were greeted with the BBQ restaurant menu, and told this was the same place (even though none of the same menu items were listed).We clearly stated we were looking for Aria and again were told it was the same.We couldnt see any additional kiosks or anything inside.Maybe staff needs additional training? Not sure. 3 stars because we couldnt figure out user-experience and walked out hungry ... will try again later and update review.

DO NOT COME HERE. IT IS SKETCHY.. As soon as I walked into the place it was empty, and one couple had just left with a bunch of food still on their plates. All of this was during lunch time which you would expect to be a rush hour. Shouldve taken it as a sign to leave, but I continued to eat there with my family. They had a buffet which was not great because everything tasted either old or stale. Unlike other Korean restaurants that I have been to, everything tasted fresh. Heres the sketchy part: the waiter gave us a type of meat thatwe didnt order. However, we took this meat thinking that we wouldve ordered it anyway later on. The “ribeye” steak was super hard and nearly impossible to chew and enjoy. At first I thought it was because it was overcooked, so on the next piece of ribeye I cooked, I made it rawer and it still had the same toughness to it. Speaking of which, all the meat we had was flavorless and heavily salted. There wasn’t much seasoning options and only one sauce which was not enjoyable at all. The service was alright; our waiter checked up on us time to time but did not change the grill once when it was literally crusty, and when he left our table he would stare at us from the counter he was behind. This place is NOT worth it, do NOT go here. They charged us $161, not including tip. Spend your money at a better place.

This review is for takeouts only. Saw this amazing looking item named Premium Doshirak. I couldnt wait to order and taste it. The spicy pork one was priced at $24. That seemed a bit pricey, but when I saw the portion, I was relieved as it had enough for two meals. The spicy pork was pretty good, but not the highlight of the dish. To me, I liked the varieties of the banchan and other side items like the mandu, croquette, fish cakes. I have also had the galbi (bbq short ribs) doshirak at $27. Great as well.Having been cooking and making some Japanese and Korean dishes during this pandemic, I had a new appreciation for the amount of work and effort that goes into making each item and banchan. Its a lot of work as you got to make them separately. I pondered about how much work was involved in making this doshirak while I was eating. This was an explosion of different flavors and textures. Veggies? Check. Meat? Check. Fried stuff? Check. Rice? Check. What else do you want - A fried egg? Check. Looking forward to ordering this item again!Ordered the spicy tofu soup and it was average. The soup was bland, but the seafood quality was not bad. Unfortunately won't order again. :(

Cold noodle was actually filling and delicious, fish stew was very tasty and satisfying, nice and clean atmosphere, friendly staff and service, side dishes are limited but they were very tasty! I was surprised to see they actually took customer who came 2 minutes before closing, you don't see that often, everyone is usually busy sending people away, very nice!

Fast and great Korean affordable dining with excellent service.We ordered the fried chicken and japchae both tasted excellent. Plus the food came fast and it was affordable.Our waitress was really nice. Most baby/family friendly dining experience we’ve had at a Korean restaurant so far. She gave us baby utensils, water and even stickers! We couldn’t ask for more

So happy to have a decent Vietnamese restaurant in town. Memory flashback to Korean Village when were here, but the service and atmosphere are very similar. Theyre friendly, welcoming and family style. Banh Mi is authentic, flavorful. Pho and vermicelli bowl are deeeelicious with fresh ingredients. No MSG effects after our meals, which is rare for an Asian restaurant :-). Ill be here once a week to support our local business.
Mumu Hot Pot
2725 Stoneridge Dr #103, Pleasanton, CA 94588, United States
Please make sure there is no one who doesn’t go to Mumu Hotpot ?? It’s such a lovely restaurant for hotpot lovers. I gave it 4 stars for atmosphere because its so delicious and popular that its crowded with people. So, if you go during peak hours, the wait will be long. Other than that its perfect!!! A good tip is that you can get in a little faster if you ask for a seat as soon as it becomes available instead of at a table!! If my husband and I eat as meat lovers, we get a plate of vegetables and toppings, three plates of meat, and rice. You can really fill yourself up (if you have any leftover, I highly recommend the house ramen). Its almost $100 including tip and tax, but its worth it. You wont regret it!!!! For Koreans who like spicy food, I definitely recommend the Sichuan spicy soup base, and if you add a little more clear broth, it becomes slightly less spicy and tastes good!! I want to go to Mumu Hotpot again!!!!!!!

I was a big fan of this place and the food is great. But stopped ordering stuff from here, when they stopped doing the option of getting 10 drumsticks in an order. Why not give what the customer needs instead of doing half drumsticks and half wings in an order. I'd rather pay the few extra dollars for the 10 drumsticks and get exactly what I like. Sadly they lost me as a customer!Review update:Thank you for the explanation as to why that is done. Maybe the customers can be made aware on the website or via phone when placing order that it is due to a supply demand issue. Glad to hear that we still have the option of ordering what we need. I have tried a few times in the past to order via website as that is what I have always done in the past! But got a little frustrated when I did not have option of ordering exactly what I needed. Therefore, I called yesterday to place the order. I was told that the 10 drumstick option was not offered anymore. Anyways appreciate you reaching out! We will return to taste some yummy chicken! Thank you.
