Omogari

Decent spot with good portion sizes and we appreciated getting a bigger table for our group. The ribs were a bit too sugary for my taste. The pancakes were solid, nothing spectacular but good. The beef fried rice was too oily, and the egg was just sitting on top instead of being mixed in properly, which is what we're used to. Everything was fine, just nothing that really stood out. The portions are generous though, so you definitely get your money's worth in that department.

The sides are amazing that is servers while you wait for food. One of my favorite Korean spots to go. We ordered vegetarian Bibimbap, Korean vegetable pancake, vegetarian dumplings ramen and Japchae. The serving size is huge. pancakes and japchae is highly recommended here. I would definitely go back for it.

Absolutely fabulous. The Kimchi Che gae, Doin Jang Chin Gae, Dumpling soup, Kimchi jeongal, Yuk Ghe jang, potstickers, flaming fondue chicken, wings, spicy chicken… I could go on and pretty much list everything on the menu but suffice it to say EVERYTHING I’ve had here is so delicious and the banchan options rotate and are always scrumptious. Family run, kind and accommodating staff. I’ve been coming here for almost a decade and I highly recommend it. WONDERFUL!

I’ve been a regular customer for a long time, but my recent order was extremely disappointing. The LA galbi was completely undercooked, with blood still pooling in the meat. I also ordered kimchi fried rice, which is usually not too greasy here, but this time it was so oily that it leaked everywhere, and the taste was terrible. They didn’t follow my special requests, and the packaging was done so poorly that the food spilled and mixed together. Instead of acknowledging the issue, they blamed the Uber driver. If they had simply used one plastic bag per item or added an extra layer of wrapping like other restaurants do, none of this would have happened. Overall, the food quality, packaging, and service were all very disappointing. I hope they improve, especially for loyal customers.

Had Omogari on my to-try for the longest time and finally got to visit for a weekend dinner. Had a 10min wait and we were seated inside! The interior is warm and inviting and service is great. We ordered the kimchi stew, bulgogi, and pork rib fondue. Our favorite was the bulgogi with its good meat quality, tender/juicy bite, and authentic flavor. Would recommend if you're in the area and craving some good Korean food! Parking: it was easy for us despite it being weekend dinner in JTown; we also appreciated the free street parking on Sundays.

I recently dined at SJ Omogari in Japantown and was delighted by how familiar and satisfying everything felt. The spicy bulgogi was incredibly flavorful with a perfect blend of firm yet tender. The kimchi fried rice was extremely delicious! The Japchae was such a hit, almost all of it was gone before the main courses! Service was friendly and attentive, and I appreciated being able to sit outside on their new patio. Yes, there was a bit of a wait, but it moved quickly, and once I tasted the food, it was clear why this place stays popular. SJ Omogari is a delightful go-to for hearty Korean comfort food in a relaxed, welcoming space.

The restaurant is kind of small and there’s no waiting area. You’ll need to wait outside. Parking can be difficult to find at times and you’ll need to pay for street parking. The food is great here! My wife loves their beef tofu soup. I love their Meat Jun. it’s the best meat jun that I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend these 2 dishes. The food also comes with some sides such as broccoli, potatoes, kimchi, etc.

Loved Omagari. We got a few dishes to split, such as the kimchi pancakes, the pork ribs, and the bulgogi. Loved all three, as well as the delicious banchan. Will definitely be back!

So happy we decided to come here! Everything was amazing. We loved the service and the food quality! We will definitely be back.

Had nothing but excellent service and food! If you're looking for good Korean cuisine, especially a traditional Korean pancake with rice wine, this place is the spot to try in a cozy, family-run setting. We arrived shortly after peak dinner hours, so tables were being cleared as we walked in, and we were called only a few minutes later. As soon as we were seated, we ordered yukjeon (meat pancake), japchae, army stew, and bulgogi with extra rice, along with makgeolli and Sprite. And it was nothing but perfect. A small amount of Sprite with shaken makgolli was absolutely incredible with Yukjeon, and japchae, bulgogi, and banchans made a perfect bibimbap for the meat lovers. Service was absolutely outstanding, nothing but gratitude. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Downton SJ area who wants to stay close or experience a cozy Korean restaurant with great food and services.

We came on a Monday night and (luckily) found parking because we arrived around 5 PM. We ordered the Flaming Fondue Chicken, Pork Ribs, and the Seafood Pancake. Any order comes with numerous Korean sides (banchan) that we enjoyed while we waited. Fondue Chicken (5/10): Sweet and savory sauce, with a vegetable medley (corn, peas, carrots), topped with cheese. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking and would've been more appreciated if it was spicier. The cheese mellows out the taste, so it would've been better balanced with more spice. Pork Ribs (9/10): Minus one point for the portion size compared to the price, but the seasoning was yum! Skinny pork ribs, but the taste makes up for it. Would order again! Seafood Pancake (8/10): The portion is very large and it was so crispy and yum! It could've used a bit more seafood, but not bad for the price. I would maybe come again to try different items, but the pork spare ribs will be a repeat dish for sure!

Really good Korean food. We were 4 adults ordered 3 hot stone pot, 2 with the ribs one with CB sicken and one ramen soup. I haven't been here in over a decade, it was a Wednesday evening and it was packed. The place is a little loud or maybe it was just about the diners this evening. All in all for 4 adults $120 not cheap but the dishes are BIG. Personally I think it was a little on the oily side and I couldn't finish my portion but didn't leave much haha. I love Korean food so it was definitely worth it

I had a positive experience dining here for my 3rd visit. My group signed up on the Yelp waitlist and were able to wait in our car until the table was ready. It took around 20 minutes on a Friday dinner. The mushroom soup was a good amount of food and I loved how chewy the udon was with the veggies. It was a nice change from the usual soondaboo I usually get. We also got the bibambap, which was so good with the red spicy sauce mixed together! The side dishes, kimchi, broccoli, potatoes, and bean sprouts, were tasty. The meat jun was also very tasty and it had a good amount of meat! I actually just loved everything here. One thing that I wished was different was the bright lighting shining directly down to the table, I usually prefer more dim lighting. I would definitely come back to this restaurant for a cozy korean meal!!!

A cozy Korean spot in San Jose's Japantown. This place is tasty and nostalgic - I had only ever Doordashed this spot back in the day on late nights at work, but it was my first time dining in this time and it was just as good as I remembered. Service was good as well. I ordered the mixed stone pot rice with short rib. So delightfully warm and comforting and flavorful. Not to mention beautiful presentation. I had some leftover for the next day, and it was still very yummy. I also had a taste of the flaming fondue chicken which is deliciously saucy and cheesy and indulgent. Great flavors all around! Great spot and would definitely recommend.

The Korean restaurant is small, but it can actually fit lots of tables & chairs indoors & outdoors. What's there not to like about a good Korean restaurant in San Jose's popular Japantown district? There's private parking lot behind the restaurant or you can find public parking with parking meters 2-4 hours on streets nearby. The restaurant is not easy to miss near the corner lot. Good service and authentic Korean family foods. Best of all, you get all kinds of soju beverages and pretty good tasting rice wines to choose from as desired. Small restaurants still have great vibes. Pricey for food items though, so keep that in mind during inflation times. Our group had a bit of everything to share. All were delicious and legit. For five people, staffs filled our table with two sets of banchans/one on left and one on right side. Portions are plentiful, so yes, definitely come hungry. We started off with yummy seafood pancakes, and then added the rest. Everything was good: beef rib-eye, spicy pork bulgogi, stone pot bibimbap, japchae, kimchi, potato banchans, etc. There's plenty of vegetables to go with it and bottled sauces are generous. They have a bit of everything on the menu. We were all enjoying this delicious Korean lunch very much after playing sports. Leftovers were plentiful too. Yes, this is a small place worth visiting a few times in the area. I'll be back for sure. Delicious.

This is my absolute favorite spot in SJ for seafood pancake! This hole in the wall restaurant is small and get pretty pack. You have to find street parking, which is a bummer, especially on weekends. Love the service and the food!

Loved Omagari. We got a few dishes to split, such as the kimchi pancakes, the pork ribs, and the bulgogi. Loved all three, as well as the delicious banchan. Will definitely be back!

My wife and I visited SJ Omogari awhile ago. It's nice to see them going strong and still serving the community. They've remodeled and now offer both indoor and outdoor seating opportunities. The staff are super nice. Today, I ordered takeout for my mom. *Beef Short Ribs (4/5). Slightly flame-kissed in all the right places of this lightly marinated short ribs. The banchan included was a good variety, though only 1 spicy one, the kimchi. Support your local business.

Omogari is popping here in the Japantown neighborhood and I was excited to dine here with some friends in their outdoor patio. With a long line for Korean food and indoor/outdoor seating, be sure to use the Yelp waitlist if you can to get ahead of the wait. They have classic Korean dishes with fairly generous portions from what I could tell. Limited veggie options (and you'll have to ask to make sure something can be fully plant-based/vegan), but I was happy to see they could make their Mushroom Sundubu with veggie stock. I ordered that spicy and it luckily also came with rice. The sundubu was fantastic and hit every note I could want from a tofu stew. Loved the veggies, the broth was not too salty, and the accompanied banchan was great with the meal. Service was also pretty fast considering how busy they were and they checked in on us for just the right amount of time. Thanks Omogari for a great dinner experience.

Came here on a Saturday night around 6pm. Surprisingly, Japantown was really empty at the time, and it was really easy to find street parking. The restaurant was half empty, albeit it was still considered early for dinner service. We were seated immediately and could order quickly. We ordered the seafood pancake, japchae, and bbq beef with bean sprout. Seafood pancake is a must at every Korean restaurant I visit, and the one here did not disappoint! The batter was packed with seafood and fried to a perfect crispiness. Not to mention, the portion was relatively large. I expected the japchae to be cold but it was warm (and good nonetheless, I guess I just expected it to be different haha). The noodles were already stuck together by the time the dish arrived at our table, but that's to be expected of glass noodles. The flavor profile was on the sweeter side with hints of savory. The bbq beef was a generous portion - the beef was tender and there were plenty of cabbage and bean sprouts. I probably wouldn't order both the japchae and bbq beef with bean sprout at the same time -- just because the flavor profile and ingredients of both dishes tasted relatively the same. The bbq beef did have more of a spice kick to it, but again, flavor profiles relatively the same. Still tender and satiating regardless. Would visit again and try other dishes!

Had come here before and decided to order the same things. I brought my partner here when I wanted to celebrate getting my promotion. The vibe is very much like a dive pub with really good food and beers to enjoy with friends. This was the BBQ ribs and Shakin Beef Fondue which I found on TikTok and led me here in the first place. Both times the same experience was epic. The flavors on the ribs, the crispy cheese from the sizzling plate. We definitely went for a walk around SJ after this. The food is really straightforward savory which is really good when you have a craving to be full but also want to be with others. The portions are huge which allows me to share with my partner and I can see me bringing 2 more coworkers and sharing these two items with 4 people. Overall the best when it comes to portions

I have visited this place once before, and I was very satisfied with the tofu soup that they served, so I ordered it again: the seafood one, and I was very satisfied. I wanted to try a chicken version of Galbijim, and I got a recommendation for this place's flaming fondue chicken. It did not taste as soupy as Galbijim, but I was still satisfied with the dish; I love cheese. The service was quick and responsive, and the ambiance was typical of a Korean restaurant.

Our family of five had an early dinner today. There was no wait, the food came quickly, the service was friendly and hospitable. Our food was delicious, thank you! We finished our meal right on time to look at the beautiful sunset outside the restaurant. Amazing!

Personally, I think this place is the Best korean restaurant in the bay area. Food tastes fresh, ingredients are high quality. Good service.

There is seating inside and outside. The outside has heat lamps so you don't need to worry about being cold. We came for the meet June since we had read the reviews. It is pretty good :) We've had better but it was pretty solid. We also had the beef short ribs which was sweet and the flaming fondue chicken was yummy. Customer service left a little to be desired. W weren't always checked on so you really have to get attention of the wait staff. That is a little annoying if they don't seem terribly busy. My one ding is that you need to check your bill when you pay. They calculated your tip based on the total which included tax whereas tip is usually calculated on the subtotal without tax. Otherwise, I'd say this is not a bad place to come for food.

One of my favorite restaurants in jtown! The chicken fondue is to die for. If you're a cheese lover then you will love sj omogari. They put a lot of cheese. The chicken is also not too spicy. The kimchi fried rice was also very great! Compared to other restaurants, I can tell they sauté their onions separately which brings out a lot of flavor and makes it taste really good. The staff were very friendly and brought out our food very quickly. Definitely come early if you don't want to wait in line, but since there are no reservations, the line during the weekends may be long since the restaurant is small.

Finally tried SJ Omogari after living near it for 2 years! I've seen this place can sometimes have a wait so I went when it opened at 11:30 on a Saturday. Thankfully we didn't need to wait and were seated right away. The inside is small but I didn't notice till leaving that there's plenty of outdoor seating as well. I ordered the short rib bibimbap and shared the fried tofu appetizer with my friend. The banchan here is excellent, I love their kimchi, broccoli, and potato. Our banchan never got refilled though, which I was a little bummed about. The bibimbap was excellent, came out still crackling and sizzling, which I love! The rice crisped perfectly at the bottom, so just remember to give it a scrape when mixing everything together. I thought the ratio of rice to vegetables was good, but did feel they skimped on the meat. Most bites I felt didn't have meat at all, so that was my only complaint. The fried tofu was okay, felt strange that it didn't come with any sauce. I will likely come back sometime to try some of their signature dishes like the chicken fondue!

I'm Mexican but I love Asian food, especially delicious Korean food. I highly recommend it. Everyone is so friendly and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

my party of two showed up around 630 and we needed to leave around 7 and i joined the yelp waitlist but we didn't even need to use it and got seated immediately. the tables were so crowded, i really wished we had time for galbijjim, but will try for it next time when we have more time seafood pancake 5/5: SO crunchy and delicious this was amazing i really recommend japchae 4/5: decent not bad, just a large amount of japchae that we were just looking for something shareable and fast and not spicy and not soupy bc the weather was warm othside. 2 of us, banchan: kimchi nice and fresh, broccoli is nice and crunchy, dicon is pickled, regular potato nice and soft, bean sprouts refreshing.

TLDR; Homey Korean spot with a wonderful outdoor patio in Japantown! I caught up with an old friend here, and it was perfect. We came here 2 days before Christmas Day, so it wasn't very busy, especially on the outdoor patio. Our server was really nice, and checked in on us often. Food came out pretty quick too! Most of the menu are items to share, but you can definitely get your own dish too, like the soups and soondubu. Portions weren't too big, too small! We ordered: Pork Spare - Rib Dae Ji Gal Bi with Cheese (4/5): Oh man the cheese was so good. The sauce can get a little messy, but this was definitely flavorful and filling. Beef Short Rib Galbi (4/5): The beef was kind of tough, but still flavorful! Your standard short rib dish!!! A bit expensive for the size, but to be expected for this type of cut. Seafood Kalguksu (3/5): As a kalguksu fanatic, I was a bit disappointed by this dish! The noodles were on the softer side, maybe too soft for my liking. I love it when my noodles are chewy and bouncy, esp for this dish. The broth was really good when it was fresh and warm, but once it cooled off a little, the clammy seafood flavor became too pronounced. Not a bad dish, just not the best I've had! I would come here again bc the ambience is so open and comfortable! Plus, comfort Korean dishes are always a bop. And you can get dessert across the street or walk around Japantown afterward!

Stumbled across this gem after getting a tattoo over the weekend! I was craving some soup after a long day and found this place serving Kalguksu so obviously I had to check it out. It was a Saturday evening so it was quite busy. I recommend getting on the waitlist through yelp before showing up or you'll have to wait for some time. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I saw that the outdoor seating had heating lamps so don't worry about getting cold. Once seated inside, I ordered the beef kalguksu and the pork katsu. I was very happy about the unlimited side dishes and almost filled up on those before the food arrived. The fish cake was my favorite! The broth of the kalguksu was light in flavor so I asked for some pepper to spice it up a little. If you like light broths that have a depth of flavor, you'll love this dish. The noodles were a perfect consistency. It had some give to it without being too chewy. There were also plenty of vegetables in the bowl, which paired perfectly with the beef shreds in the broth. I wasn't a big fan of the katsu as it was very chewy and the breading didn't stick to it, but the sauce it came with was delicious. I definitely want to come back and try other dishes some day!

Overall good experience. Food is great depending on what you get. Some items are mid and not worth the price you're paying. Kimchi Fried Rice - 5/5 Beef Galbi - 5/5 Pork Spare Ribs - 3/5 Seafood Pancake - 3/5 Soy Garlic Wings - 2/5 Free street parking after 6pm. Might get tough on busy nights.

Whoa amazing food- the bulgogi tender and has Smokey flavor, and the spicy pork tender and flavorful but my favorite is the spicy squid stir fry it reminds me of the Taiwanese stir fry shop 快炒店 with everything perfectly cooked vegetable crunchy and sweet and the squid is perfectly cooked the hosts are gracious and despite being so busy they try their best to take care of everyone! We will be back!!

Omogari was excellent from start to finish. The food was flavorful, balanced, and clearly made with care. Each dish had a comforting home cooked feel while still being really well seasoned and satisfying. The service was just as good. The staff was kind, attentive, and made the experience feel relaxed and welcoming. It is the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy your meal, and feel taken care of. I am looking forward to going back.

Great Korean restaurant. The food was delicious. Their banchan was really good. The service was excellent. The ambiance welcoming and warming..

I love love love their kimchi pancake - it's perfectly crispy!!! I'm so sad that I can't come to this place often because I don't live nearby

Really nice manager! We sat outside and service was really quick. Decent pricing and really solid portions. The japchae was super good and was definitely meant to be eaten family style. The tofu soup was nice and spicy too which I appreciated. Quick refills on bonchon too!

Mixed Stone pot rice is fire!! I ordered beed. Highly recommended. Exceptional service!!! Ambiance is perfect! There's also patio seating.

I came here in a party of 6 on a Friday at 7:50, which is an hour before closing. Parking was pretty difficult to find and it took us several laps before we found some street parking nearby. We were seated outside and we did a family style meal. We ordered a seafood pancake, beef and tofu bibimbap, short ribs, bulgogi, jabchae, and spicy beef soup. The food is on the pricier side but is very good. The seafood pancake was intended to be our appetizer but it was one of the last items to arrive. However, it was really good! The biggest letdown was the Yuk Che Jang (spicy beef soup). It wasn't spicy and had very little flavor, almost as if an ingredient was missing. As always, the crispy rice at the bottom of the bibimbap is super satisfying. The grilled meat and jap chae were also great. Overall I'm very satisfied with my experience here and can see myself returning to try different menu items.

This is our favorite spot. Located in Japan town and usually not too difficult to find a metered parking spot within a few blocks. They have indoor seating a nice outdoor patio adjacent to the restaurant. Service here is consistent and the employees are friendly and efficient. The banchan here are yummy and I love their kimchee. Our fav items here are the beef short ribs (AMAZING, although a bit pricey at $33), the sweet chicken, and the jap chae. Portions are big enough to share and the proteins make for great leftovers!

Cute little restaurant in Japan Town, parking was difficult but worth the hassle! The food was comforting and ambiance was cozy. This place is usually crowded with limited seating, but they have yelp waitlist which saves some time. We got the Pork Spare Rib and Yuk Gae Jang which were good portion sizes. They had a cheese option for the Pork Spare Rib, which we didn't get but presentation seemed cool! The ribs were tender and flavor was similar to a nice sweet bbq. Yuk Gae Jang was comforting and not super spicy. Our dishes came with banchan (kimchi, bean sprouts, broccoli, potato) which were solid. I would come back to try some of their signature dishes!

Korean comfort food! I ordered mushroom tofu soup for a cold night, and the smell was so mouthwatering I almost burned my tongue from being so impatient. I appreciate that they add zucchini to boost the soup's nutrition, but keep the pieces small enough that it cooks fairly quickly. I do wish there was a bit more variety in mushrooms in the soup, though, but I understand that certain mushrooms can get fairly expensive. What I really enjoyed the most was the side dishes. They jam packed the vegetables with flavor, and I especially loved the slightly sweet cooked potato side dish. If I ever come back, I'll be sure to try the bibimbap or deonjang jjigae. And although the restaurant was packed because there was an event happening on the block, service was still decent enough that I didn't need to ask for much more.

My parents and I are going to the SJ Omogari restaurant before, because I love this place! They are food, service and amblance!

So, I've really taken an inkling towards Korean food. This place does not disappoint. I've gone through several dishes, but things that stand out to me are the short rib, the spicy pork, the seafood pancake, and all the sides. I love the feel of this place. It has a family feel to it and sits on a peaceful street that's prime for walking. Service-wise -- the staff are on top of everything. Love this place!

What I ordered: -Meat Jun [4/5] -Flaming Fondue Chicken [3.5/5] -Beef Short Ribs (Galbi) [4/5] -Spicy Pork [4/5] _ I visited SJ Omogari on a Saturday night with a group of six and was seated fairly quickly, within 5-10 minutes. We ordered a range of dishes to share, including the Meat Jun, Flaming Fondue Chicken, Beef Short Ribs (Galbi), and Spicy Pork. The ambiance was pleasant, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The food had a comforting, home-style Korean flavor, though nothing particularly stood out. However, it's a solid spot if you're craving cozy, traditional Korean dishes. Service was quick and attentive, making the overall experience enjoyable!

this place is really good i definitely recommend. only thing is that the place is kind of small so bigger parties would be hard to seat. i had a party of six and we sat outside. however fast service, we ordered about 15 minutes in and got food almost 10 minutes later.

The food and service was amazing. I shared the kimchi soup with 4-5 people. The side dishes in addition to the bulgogi and fondue chicken was delicious. Would recommend and go again!

After seeing all the Tik Tok videos of this place I finally decided to give it a try. Been living in San Jose all my life and it's a shame to say that I had never checked out Japantown. Glad I went last night on a girl's night. Came here and there was already a line. And you know what they say when there's a line it means it must be good. Register my name in the waitlist and it said it was a 15-25min wait. Waited patiently and was called in like 10 min after i registered. Which was nice to not wait so long. Was seated and given a menu. Everything looked really good. We decided to order two entrees and an alcoholic beverage. Great food and drink. Will highly recommend this place!

Food was very good! Very flavorful and delicious with good portions, we spilt all these with three ppl and cleaned the plates! Staff was all friendly and the vibe was really nice. Long wait tho, so plan early!

I LOVE this place. The staff are all super friendly ... the place is small, although they now have outdoor seating - cant wait for summer!!! The Food | so amazing | meat jun is definitely my all time favorite... second are the tofu soups (perfect for a cold day), and my third is the bulgogi! Just a slight warning.... It is pricey...

Overall, was not bad but for the price, not super worth? For two dishes after tax and tip, it was $80 and for these portions, I personally would go elsewhere. However, the galbi was tender and the seafood bibimbap had a great veggies, seafood, rice ratio. Unfortunately, both were a bit too oily for me. It did get the rice nice and crispy on the dolsot but it felt a tad greasy. Service is fast and bustling with people in and out so that's a plus!

Omogari was recommended by my friend Aki... Always listen to Aki. I always do. Omogari was by far the best restaurant we ate at during our recent 3 night stay in the SC/SJ area. Located on a quiet street in San Jose's Japantown neighborhood. We had lunch on a Saturday and found metered street parking across the way. We were seated immediately by a friendly gentleman and soon greeted by a nice lady to take our drink orders. Both the man and the woman were super nice & helpful. They made a great meal even better. They brought us a variety of banchan to start off. Kimchi, pickled radish, bean sprouts, broccoli and potatoes.... They also brought our steamed rice. They were in the standard metal cups with covers on them. We went with spicy wings ($10.95) for an appetizer and this came with 6 pieces. The wings were good and had a good kick to them. We also ordered galbi ($36.95) and meat jun ($25) & these 2 orders were all time... Can i just say that I have been craving legit meat jun like I often eat in Hawai'i and this more than hit the spot. It was so good, was such a big portion and my cousin & I thought it was delicious. Super tender, thin, marinated beef coated in an egg batter. So good... I could eat that every day. Loved it... The grilled short ribs were also very good and also a generous serving. It arrived on a sizzling platter atop grilled onions. It was excellent. The marinade they use was real good and the char on the meat was perfect. Omogari was a gem of a find and recommend it without a doubt. Customer service was great and the food was excellent. Thank you to my big bro Aki for leading us there.... Street parking only. Check the signs. Feed the meters. Located on Jackson St. Nice little shops nearby to walk off all the food afterwards.

Omogari is often packed, and I get why! Generous portions, delicious dishes, and all the banchan you could want. While not a super tiny restaurant, they only have so much seating and you can expect to wait a while more often than not. (Definitely use Yelp's waitlist!) They really do their best though with getting people in, and they fairly recently added outdoor seating with heat lamps. I finally dined in a little while ago instead of getting takeout (hence the updated review). Our party of 4 ended up ordering quite a lot. I thought we would definitely have leftovers to take home, but we polished everything off! Since then we've also continued to order takeout, and while it can be a bit pricey, the portions are still large enough to get your money's worth. The food has still been good every time, whether it's the pancakes, japchae, or even just the banchan (Friends highly recommend the galbi as well). I look forward to my next meal here!

This restaurant is located at a corner near Japantown in downtown San Jose! It was unique since the surrounding neighborhood was Japanese so we were pretty surprised with K-pop music inside the restaurant. The workers greeted us in the front and assisted us to our seat. The food was great! The meat jun was sweet but very flavorful and the flaming chicken was a great combination! The cheese pull is always a plus when we eat!

The food was very good . It came very fast and fresh food . They did help my friend what liquor he want to drinks

We went here after looking at all the reviews! It was a very typical no-frills Korean restaurant. We liked their food! I got the tofu stew and it was very nice and warming with good flavors.

Pretty underwhelming Korean food. The tteokbokki rice cakes were mushy and overcooked, while the ramen noodles were tough and undercooked. The sauce leaned overly sweet with no spice to balance it out. The seafood pancake was crispy, but it was mostly batter with very little actual seafood.
