Asiana Korean Food & Restaurant

Arrived around 7:30pm for a late dinner with my mother. We’re from MN, so the expectations were high for this restaurant due to the reviews here on Google. However, it was a disappointment!! When we arrived, there were no customers but there were also many tables not cleared. So I assumed they just completed a rush. The music was loud and it was a cute little restaurant with claw machines. Some food items on their wall menu were no longer being served. Unsure why it was still posted. We ordered a meat combination, shrimp fried rice, seafood pancake, and spicy pork. It took about 30mins for the seafood pancake to arrive after that our dishes were being served one by one about 10mins apart. The waitress told me we can get our own sides at the serving area. When I got there most of the side dishes were out. Meat Combination - came out cold, no meat on the short ribs, and it was extremely sweet. 0/5 Shrimp fried rice - this was probably the only dish that was okay to eat. Simple, little to no seasoning, and there was about 5 pieces of shrimp sliced in half. 1/5 Seafood pancake - mainly flour, super thick, and the only seafood I was able to pick out was squid on 1 sliced from the entire pancake. 0/5 Spicy pork - dish came out last, the only dish that was served hot and fresh. Very different from other spicy pork dishes I’ve had from different Korean restaurants. It did not have any gochujang taste. Instead it was a wet sweet sauce with a kick of spice from the peppers that was stir fried in. 1/5 since it arrived hot and fresh.

Overall experience was positive. Staff was friendly, professional and courteous. Food was definitely good but different from the korean food I frequent in LA. I would definitely come back. Plus they have Korean beer and soju!

This place used to be a small shop, but now it’s filled with claw machines. The two Korean staff are always super busy, so I don’t expect much in terms of service. But honestly, the taste is already one of the better ones in this city.

Hands down best Korean food in the Central Valley. Food is all fantastic, service is quick, and the owners are wonderful. Self service kimchi bar has amazing variety of delicious kimchi and every meal I’ve had here has been top tier. I’ve had the bbq combination, bibimbap, spicy bolgogi, soft tofu soup, and the dumplings — all stunning meals.

I made a reservation cause I didn’t know if they were gonna be busy or not and we got there like 10min early for our reservation but I found a table with my name on a ticket and I was assuming that is our table so we sat there for about 10-15min before anyone brought us drinks and a menu let me just mention that I noticed that there is only one cashier/waitress and only one cook and the cook was the one that brought us waters after that it was about another 10min when we ordered they have a unlimited sides bar for dine in and I thought that was great cause I’ve never seen a place do that before and the side bar is self served while we were waiting for our food I went to the other side to check out the general store and I didn’t find anything to buy but they have a variety of things from snacks to noodles and sea weed our food took a little longer than expected but like I mentioned I only saw one cook and we weren’t being impatient but once we got the fried dumplings they were soooo good! I could not stop eating them I don’t care if it burned my mouth because how hot the inside is the taste and the crunchy texture was a very good combo my fiance got the spicy bulgogi and it was amazing! Not to spicy but it tasted good I wanted more since his food go there before mine did I got the kimchi fried rice and it was delicious I did pour the left over soy spice from the dumplings and it tasted better to me overall the food is definitely worth the wait! Please yall be patient with the cook and waitress they were super nice to us and you can tell they are really trying the food was so delicious that we came back to the condo and took a hour nap!

The ppl there don't seem too friendly, just there to take your orders. Didn't even inform us that there is a self serve bar for the sides. Each plate is $15.99-$18.99. Which is a rip off cos the portions were practically kids meal sizes. The spicy kimchi fried rice was really good but the other things that we ordered were edible, not really tasty. Especially the bibimbap was a big disappointment. Sprinkles of ground meat. Mainly just rice, and small too. Never going back.

This small can of bbq chicken cost me 18 dollars. Looks like someone else leftover. No service and the kimchi was buffet you can grab it you self but that is the only good thing about this. I will not be return here

Cool little Korean store/restaurant. You can find cute Korean girls here hehe. Korean food favor is authentic but some quality of meat is okay. All you can eat buffet style side dish. Portion is okay. Some dish are pricey. Black bean noodle not as good like buldok at Fresno state shopping center. Bulgogi is so good but small portion.

Good stuff here! Parking is easy to find, it's usually never packed when I go. It's kind of like a hole in the wall restaurant. Inside is split from dining and a little grocery store section. Service is great, really nice people who make good food! Once seated, you can get your sides from the side bar! Sides are good but I think more variety could make it better. My favorite dish is the glass noodle stir fry and bulgogi. I wish the bulgogi came in a bigger portion but maybe that's my gluttony speaking lol. I've tried a few soups and they're all solid! I really like their teokkboki as well, although I think it's been getting more liquid-y each time I come by. I prefer when they made it with a thicker sauce. Still yum!

When you crave Korean food, head here. Unlimited ban chan (there's a few if you waste any, but otherwise free). Service prompt and fast. It's a restaurant alongside a market. One half is the restaurant and the other sells Korean goods. It was quiet and clean when I visited. I enjoyed it.

Placed an order to go since I was staying nearby in a hotel. The beef soft tofu soup was very tasty and was a good sized portion. They add a generous amount of tender beef strips. Wait time for the order was exactly as they indicated. Restaurant isn't the nicest just good ole mom and pop restaurant but the food is really good. There were about 15 tables and a self serve banchan station. Everything was packaged very securely as I always worry when I order soup to go.

It was our first time at Asiana Korean Restaurant, a small mom-and-pop spot tucked inside a Korean market--and it did not disappoint! I had the kalbi short ribs and glass noodles, and my husband had the seafood soup. Everything was soooo good. The flavors were authentic and comforting, and the atmosphere felt so homey. What really sealed the deal for me was the banchan--it was fresh, flavorful, and plentiful. I always judge Korean restaurants by their banchan, and Asiana absolutely nailed it. We're already planning to go back this weekend! Don't sleep on this restaurant, it's authentic, delicious and the people there are so nice!

Kind of a dodgy looking location, but the food was decent for the price. All you can eat ban chon sounds better than it actually is because selection is very limited. Seems like a mom and pop operation. Service was ok, but nothing special.

The food had flavor but the wait time to get food was way too long. Additionally, we ordered their "combination meat plate". Big mistake. Only bones and chunks of chicken. The galbi ribs were just bones! We sent it back and it never came back out. As a cook, why would you even bring a dish of bones out? Probably will not be going there again.

Food is very delicious. This is really a hidden gem. Price is right too. We had bibimbap and black bean noodles. Both really nice.

A hidden gem, a hole-in-a-wall mom-and-pop shop, plus a restaurant! My friends and I were craving Korean BBQ super late at night, and one of them suggested this place. I'm so glad we came here because it is insanely good! We came an hour before they closed and the workers were happy to serve us, we felt bad but they made us feel welcomed. There's a small area on the side to shop for Korean groceries, and the main location of the restaurant has a good amount of tables and chairs. Orders are done through a tablet which I was surprised to find out! Everything is practically set for you to grab and go, such as utensils, boxes, and more! The sidebar is open and has about 5, the basics like kimchi, pickled radish, fish cakes, and kimchi cucumbers. Rice bowls were also free! All of it was amazing, and it's unlimited! The food came out within 10-15 minutes after ordering and it was A LOT of food for the 3 of us. We ordered short ribs, spicy bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, and japchae/glass noodles. I thought the prices were reasonable for the amount you get, and especially since it's freshly made. When we paid for our meal, the sweet lady at the register gave us lollipops! So kind and welcoming! I highly recommend coming to this restaurant, it's probably the best Korean food I've ever had in Fresno!

I've eatin here before a long time ago. This is my second time returning. Dined in with my son. The lady is soft spoken and gentle. She told me to sit anywhere. It's a Korean store and a restaurant inside of it. There was a couple people there already eating. The lady was helping someone else and forgot to get me a menu. NGL, I waited a while until she was done and then I waived her down. U can tell the food is made fresh to order because it took a while for the food to come out too. I ended up ordering spicy stir fried squid which I had before and remember it being so good & wasn't spicy at all. I thought it was expensive for what I got. Basically $20. It had more veggies than it did squid. And I got a pork back bone soup. The dishes came with rice. And I also didn't know banchan was self serve until I went and read someone review cus I was wondering why I didn't get any banchan with my orders lol. Food came out and the squid dish seemed smaller than the last time I had it. It tasted the same tho. Delicious and not spicy at all. And had a little sweetness to it. I like the green onions and jalapeños. The pork back bone soup came out piping hot in the clay pot. That was good too but I don't think I got that much meat and potatoes. It didn't look much like the picture on the menu. I couldn't really taste the spice until it cooled down to room temperature. After we were done eating, some man with his family bought a melona banana flavored ice cream pack and gave one out to all the kids in the restaurant. That was nice of him.

Trust me when I say they have really good authentic food! The location might look a little unappealing, but I promise the food and service are great! They have a sides bar where you can get unlimited side dishes. There is nothing bad on their menu! You can't go wrong with your choice! The place is run by this sweet couple and there's even a market inside with all sorts of goodies.

The outside of the store is labeled as Korea mart I never knew that there was a restaurant inside but was tempted to try because of the all you can eat side dishes that I saw on other Yelp reviews. I already knew from other reviews that we were going to have a long wait and that was true, I think it took us almost 45 minutes between when we arrived to when we finally had our food served. We anticipated this and were able to much on side dishes while we waited! We also browsed the supermarket which doesn't have a huge selection but it does have a small amount of Korean goods. The restaurant is run by a couple and it seems like just one additional worker where the husband is cooking a majority of the food in the kitchen while the wife is out serving customers. Seafood Pancake: 3/5 Flavor was really good, but it is super thick and very oily with mostly batter. The few pieces of squid/octopus in the pancake were very good, just wish there was more. Spicy Pork: 4/5 You can see the oil from the pic, but the flavor was great, definitely has a kick to it but I avoided the jalapeños and it wasn't too spicy to handle Jajangmyeon: 5/5 Huge portion and it's super filling, this is what I was craving so it really satisfied my appetite! Beef soup: 3/5 Appreciated how hot it came out but the flavor was just slightly off, more salty than I've ever had this soup at any korean restaurant BANCHAN 5/5: Come for the menu, stay for the side dishes. Really loved the fact that it was a self serve bar with ayce side dishes because they were all really good!! Kimchi could have been fermented more for my preference, but nothing to conplain about!

Food is not worth the prices. Average Korean food. Portion sizes are smaller. Spicy Chicken isn't worth $20 in my opinion. A smaller chicken portion loaded with jalapenos and onions. I wouldn't recommend it here due to the risk of being taken advantage of. Service is below average. This place is not what it used to be.

My 2nd visit was a miss. We agreed the main character of this visit was the banchan. Kimchi wasn't good that night. No flavor. Other banchan was good (bean spouts, radish, potatoes). Cucumber kimchi was okay, not my favorite compared to other cucumber kimchi I've had. We came a bit before the rush and it got busy once we ordered. The spicy bulgogli was a small portion. They should put the order on smaller plates so the plate doesn't overwhelm the entree. Bf rated 7/10 and says it reminded him of Chinese stir-fry. They graciously made a kimchi pancake instead of seafood. Unfortunately, the batter was soft and undercooked in the center. Sauce tasted like it was out of a bottle, maybe. 6/10 Last visit, I got a soft tofu soup, vegetarian style and it was no big deal. This time, perhaps there was a miscommunication/language barrier. I got the kimchi soup and it was just sad. Half full with some pieces of tofu and an egg (requested). Skimped. 6/10. I packed banchan to go and got in trouble. The husband cook scolded me in the restaurant and I said it was ok to charge me. He yelled stuff at his wife in Korean. Another customer at the banchan station with me witnessed my scolding. She told me she's Korean and they shouldn't be charging for banchan as traditional Korean restaurants typically don't. In their defense, they had a sign up. I was charged $2/banchan I got, $8 is reasonable. Total bill $63 and some change. They didn't give me an itemized receipt. $63 for a mediocre meal for 2 was disappointing. Rude service all evening and the scolding... that wasn't reasonable. It be like that sometimes w/ language barriers. They are a busy mom n pop place with just them as a couple running it. If food was bomb, I'd overlook the service and experience. I'm back to where I was before I gave Asiana a chance again. Just gonna wait to get my Korean food fix when I am out of town. Better quality service and food is worth the wait. Bf says we aren't going back.

Used to love this place. Owners are typically super sweet and nice. Loved how they expanded the seating area and added more tables and chairs. Also, love the banchan area as well. However, very disappointed because the consistency of the food has gone down (portion and flavor wise). For the last few visits, the food wasn't up to par anymore so haven't been back in a while. For now, it's ok. Would probably only go back if others wanted to go but I wouldn't want to if I had a choice. Also, the prices has gone up tremendously and the portions seems to have gotten smaller.

Asiana Food was hidden in a Korean mart and gave off homey vibes, being run by a husband and wife. We were immediately seated and each table had an iPad. Each dish took a very long time to prepare and the last dish came out after 40 minutes after prompting. It's best to order larger dishes to share as some members of our party had to sit while others ate. There was an incidence where we ordered black bean sauce and rice but received noodles instead. The banchan bar consisted of kimchi, cucumbers, nuts, bean sprouts, potatoes and fish cakes. They were complementary for diners but charged by the ounce for take out orders. =ORDERED= *Kimchi: primarily spicy. Not salty or fermented. *Fish Cakes: very bland and dry. Best combined with the sauces of the other side dishes. *Nuts: gently sweetened but very oily. May have been sitting out for too long. *Potatoes: my favorite side dish. The chunks were soft and soaked in a sweet and spicy marinade. *Glass Noodle Stir Fry: our poor forgotten dish. The portion was great for $13.99 albeit the ingredients being simple. Most of the flavor came from sesame oil. The included bulgogi was limited but each piece was tender and sweet. Would have loved the inclusion of greens or mushrooms for more flavor as it was predominantly noodles. *Cold Noodle Soup: so refreshing during the Fresno summer. The noodles were chewy and the broth was slightly sweet and vinegary. The radishes and apple slices added to the sweetness. Personally would have wanted additional vinegar or mustard to ramp up the flavor. The egg was over-boiled and had a strong sulfur taste. *Combination Meat: came with galbi, chicken, and bulgogi. The bulgogi was our favorite in terms of texture and flavor. Everything was marinaded well but the short ribs were a bit too chewy and fatty. The portion was also smaller than the other dishes. We also had a strange interaction when paying our bill where we were promoted to leave an additional tip on the table despite tipping on the tablet. The service was limited and a bit frazzled given the two man team so I wouldn't eat here if I was in a rush. I'll probably come back for the cold noodle soup but it wasn't the best Korean food I've ever had.

Visited Fresno for a short while and came across a homey hole-in-the-wall Korean restaurant. I really wanted to like this restaurant considering it's a mom-and-pop shop, but there were many significant problems that this business could improve upon. Upon entering, the owner greeted us. There was a self-serve banchan station which charges a small fee of $8/oz for any leftovers/to-go. Fish cake was plain and kimchi had the perfect amount of spice and flavor. Saucy potatoes tasted mainly sweet. I ordered from a small tablet and service was slow, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt considering it's just the wife and husband working. There was a glass stir-fry noodle dish that came out an hour later than the rest of the dishes and one dish had been messed up as well. I had ordered black bean rice but black bean noodles came out instead. Another 20 minutes were spent. Looking through the other reviews, messed up orders are a common theme and mistakes are fine, but there is possibly something wrong in their electronic ordering system considering the same dishes are getting mixed up. Even asking for items through the tablet took a long time and we found that we regularly had to ask for updates on our food. I ordered a combination plate which combined bulgogi with short rib and chicken. Chicken and short rib had a very nice smoky flavor and the bulgogi was gloriously tender. Other dishes were mediocre. Black bean rice was very sweet and cold noodle soup was refreshing. Spicy cold noodles were also very sweet and noodles were chewy. However, would not come back due to the long wait time and service which is expected because there are only two people working, but this restaurant just wasn't right for me as a bustling construction worker. Hope it improves in the future.

Food was very good! Ambiance was good! Service was great! Just need to keep up restocking chopsticks and untensils at table!

The food is one of the best korean foods in town that I've been to so far. I've eaten at this place multiple of times. The spicy pork is relatively inconsistent (sometimes more smokey flavored), but the overall taste is irresistible. It is my favorite meat dish here. The spicy rice cakes are more on the spicy side with sweetness. It's one of my favorites in town since I do enjoy a good spice. The side dishes change every so often, but their cold spicy sweet potatoes is one of my favorites and never seen before in most Korean restaurants I've been to. I do enjoy the space as a comfy place to eat. Though the prices are on the more pricey side. The spicy pork was 16.99 and the spicy rice cakes around 15.99

One of the few Korean restaurants in Fresno with authentic Korean food. This place is hidden inside a market. Order at the table with digital menus. Complimentary side dishes available self serve. The kimchi was not as fresh but all others were good. Several dishes are quite tasty like the stir fried spicy squid and the Japchae. You can request dishes with different type of meat substitutions as well.

A hidden gem serving incredibly comforting Korean food! Located on Herndon and Blackstone, behind a Motel 6, you'll discover this combination mart and restaurant. While unassuming and modestly decorated, this place serves up delicious and authentic Korean cuisine. You seat yourself, and pictures of their items with prices are displayed on the wall. For dine-in customers only, they offer a banchan (side dish) bar where you can help yourself to as much as you'd like to accompany your meal. I visited on a Sunday around 11:30 am, and there were a few groups inside. The service was good, and the owners are extremely friendly. Food is made to order and takes about 20 minutes to prepare. I've come here multiple times and have been impressed every time. In my previous visits, I've ordered their bibimbap and their kimchi fried rice, both of which are delicious. However, this time, I decided to try something new. During this particular visit, I ordered the following: 〰 Spicy Chicken (10/10): Served alongside rice, the spicy chicken was incredible. However, when they say spicy, they mean it! It was the perfect spice level for me but if you're sensitive to spice BEWARE. The chicken was tender and I loved the jalapeños and onions that are served with it. I'd definitely get this again. 〰 Spicy Cold Noodles (10/10): This is my second time ever having spicy cold noodles and I loved it. My first time having spicy cold noodles was up in the Bay and this is just as good, if not BETTER, than the one I had up in the bay. SO incredibly refreshing especially in the summer time heat. This was my third time coming here and certainly not my last. I can't wait to try their other dishes too!

We love the food here! It's a true mom and pop shop. The food is made with love. It used to be a market as well but they recently took all the shelves out and put more tables in. The food is so good and the owners are very nice people. It makes my souls happy whenever I eat here. Get the spicy pork and the tofu soup!

I wanna gate keep this place, simple it's good. It's like eating at home. You come here, don't be annoying. Be patient for authentic food. Love this place

Nice ambiance, there is a market inside the restaurant too. Service was good, until they forgot my friends Kim chee fried rice but overall food was good. I enjoyed the unlimited free sides you serve yourself that's included with your meal. Overall, everything I tasted was good, ample servings for such a great meal at the least costs

This place is soooo AMAZING. Very humble people and the food was soooooo delicious. I could cry I wish I lived closer. I will definitely go back, so worth the 2hr drive.

Food is decent, and the unlimited banchan is good. Flavor is pretty authentic although the service tends to be a little bit slow.

This is exactly my favorite type of place -- a mom and pop, no-frills kind of restaurant that specializes in a certain type of food. Years ago, I saw a review for Asiana that said you felt like you were eating food cooked by your grandma. I would agree (if your grandma cooked Korean food). It feels very homemade. Last night the weather was cold and rainy, and my husband and I stopped in to Asiana. Half the place is a small Korean grocery, and half is a casual restaurant with a few tables. We were invited to sit wherever we wanted. The menus are taped to the wall, and the cooks will come out and ask what you want to order. My husband ordered bibimbap, and I ordered the beef and soft tofu soup. First they brought out water and banchan (small side dishes that you can snack on before the meal and/or eat with your meal). Last night it was cabbage kimchee, radish kimchee, cucumber kimchee, and a mild flat noodle of some kind. All were tasty. My husband's bibimbap was delicious. The only difference I noticed is that usually I've seen bibimbap served with strips of beef, and this was made with ground beef, but he really enjoyed it anyway and the portions were good. Sometimes bibimbap is served with a raw egg on top, and you mix it in, because the food and the bowl is so hot. However, this came with a fried egg on top, which was also fine. Very tasty and filling dish. My beef and soft tofu soup was also delicious. Lots of substantial chunks of beef, lots of tofu. The broth was spicy and very salty (in a good way). They gave me a side of rice, which I mixed in a bit. Again, good portions. I hate to compare this wonderful homemade food with the food at Shila (a Korean BBQ AYCE place) but it might help to know: If anyone is a fan of the tofu soup at Shila, this soup was similar, with similar flavors, but it was a lot better. (And instead of mushrooms, there is beef.) We always get the soup at Shila and it's a highlight for us -- so to say that this soup is better is a big compliment -- but again, it's the homemade-ness of the food that is the big wow factor here! After dinner, we also shopped at the store and got a large container of their cabbage kimchee. Their kimchee was so delicious that we had to take some home! As we were driving out, in the pouring, POURING rain, the very nice and very busy guy from the restaurant -- one of only two people working -- ran out to bring my husband his hat and phone, which he'd left behind on the table. So nice of him! Great food, a great experience, and very reasonably priced too. This meal cost less than the last time we went to Arby's -- and it was infinitely better.

Overall, love how homey and self servey it was! Prices were affordable, food is a hit or miss! But you might not get what you ask for, even if you ask again! Banchan bar was fun, they had about 6 items, kimchi/bean sprouts/toasted nuts/potato/fish cake/radish Kimchi and bean sprouts were so yummy! Fish cake and potato were bland Ordered on the iPad and our orders came out incorrect 1. We ordered black bean with rice, and it came out with noodle. Asked to have it changed to what we ordered. She bought it back in and back out the same way. She insisted we eat it with a side bowl of rice. 2. Our cold noodle soup came out as the soupless spicy cold noodle. I asked to have it changed to what I ordered, the one with cold soup that's not spicy. She came out and just poured cold soup into the already made spicy bowl. She insisted that it wasn't spicy and wanted me to take what was already made. I had to ask her a 2nd time to please remake what I had initially ordered. Incorrect orders happen and that's okay! But what's not okay is that she didn't correct it the right way when it was brought to her attention 3. We also ordered short rib, marinade is on the sweeter side and I thought it was very yummi with rice :)! Not so much meat on the plate, but it was also just only $19.99

this place has gone extremely down hill. Went not too long ago and ordered on the iPad. Our orders came out wrong. The first thing that came out was the mandu, which me and my partner did not order. So the waiter sent it back. Then minutes later the old guy comes to our table asking what we ordered in such a rude manner. We ordered on the iPad, does the order not show up on your end? So we pulled up the receipt on the iPad and showed him our order. He then rudely took the order and left. Service was a 1/5. Now the food......... it was so not good. I feel bad for writing this but for $70, the food was not worth it. The spicy cold noodle was extremely sweet. Almost as if they only mixed sugar and water and mixed that with noodles. My partner got the mackerel I believe, which was alright. Then we got the mixed meat plate. I wish I took a picture of it because the portions were so small for the price. Definitely not worth it. The seafood pancake was okay. No one brought out our sauce until we were already eating from it. No one came around to check on us either. Overall, 1/5 for the food. There's better places to get korean food and it's not here. Lastly, when it was time to pay, the lady was pressuring us to tip. My partner usually tips even if the service was extremely poor. If it were me, I would not have tipped.

Portions are a little small but very tasty! Half of the place is a restaurant and the other half is a Korean grocery store, so always a go to when we're in town! Get to eat and then shop! Ran by a beautiful little couple and always friendly!

Hey Asiana, Ok. So I rarely give below a 3-4 star for local shops because I want to support them. But I'm sorry... my experience was just not that good. Considering the other reviews here, maybe they were just off today so I'll throw that out there so people aren't discouraged to give it a try. I was craving jajangmyeon and generally my kids love it. So we drove out nearly an hour to come here as there was no nearby where I live. An hour. That may sound crazy but we made a mini day trip out of it as we planned to do other things in Fresno. Unfortunately... 1) Service - No one even tried to serve us. I am korean. I am aware in places like this sometimes you should be the one to flag someone down, but it was hard to even flag someone down. No one sat us down, no one greeted us, no one even looked in our direction and no one came out of the kitchen so I linged outside the kitchen until someone finally came out. 2) Wait - It was about an hour from walking into, getting our food. This pretty much killed our schedule since we didn't expect to wait so long. We didn't order anything fancy, just the standard jajangmyeon which I imagine they could cook in batches. Most places, this particular dish comes out very fast. 3) Jajangmyeon - Did someone drop the sugar container in our food while cooking? It was so ridiculously sweet. Not "oh I put a little too much sugar" sweet, it was "I accidentally dropped a couple cups of sugar" sweet. Now some might say "just say something and return it" - but we had waited an hour for the food and had our scheduled delayed. We didn't have time to wait another hour. I had little kids with me too who so far were doing ok but were getting impatient waiting for the food. And I am not one to walk out or say I won't pay so we ate what we could. What are the positives? 1) The banchan bar - That 1hr wait would have been unbearable, particuarly with my toddlers, if it wasn't for this banchan bar. The banchan bar was good, had some variety. The kids were able to eat little fishcakes and potatoe salad while they waited. It saved the time in a way. Didn't know they like fishcakes so much. Their kimchi was good too. Love it. 2) Yeukgyejang - It was good. Anyhow, if you've never been, I still encourage you to go and check it out. Lot of people seem to have good experience so give it a try. If the main point of coming was the jajangmyeon then well, this wouldn't be my choice next time.

One of my favorite go to spot whenever I'm craving Korean food!! Probably the best in town in my opinion!!! The owners are super nice and friendly! Everything is cooked fresh to order so it may take some time for your food to arrive which is perfectly fine with me. If dining in, they have an all you can eat side dishes which includes most of the Korean side dishes (Kimchi, cucumbers, bean sprouts, etc.) I also like how they don't serve you water from the tap but instead they serve you filtered cold water. Spicy pork, Pork back bone soup, Bulgogi are some of my must have dishes from here! Everything else is just as good !!!

After finding out about this place from a friend, I have been coming here like twice a month to fulfill my Korean cravings. This mom and pop shop has recently been popping, as it should, and everything they serve feels and tastes like a home cooked meal. The owners of this store work very hard. With that being said, I always order their spicy rice cakes (ttbeoki), potstickers, and spicy pork. The spicy rice cake is the best as it is actually spicy and the rice cake is chewy. The spicy pork is a must as well. It is definitely more oily because the pork is thinly cut pork belly but this guilty pleasure pairs greatly with their white rice and kimchi. The potstickers are great as well because they are pan fried to perfection. They also allow unlimited banchan sides that include kimchi, potatoes, tofu skin, cucumber, and bean sprouts. I want to say their kimchi is made in house but I am not too sure. nonetheless, the kimchi is amazing. It is refreshing, crunchy, and has a little kick to it which makes it a good palate cleanser when munching on the salty and fatty spicy pork. Recently the shop has expanded the dining two rows which just shows how much more business they have been getting. My first time being here, we were the only ones dining and now everytime I visit , there is atleast several tables being occupied. This shop also serves as a market with a select amount of Korean snacks, meals, and seasonings too.

Love me some mom and pop restaurant. Found the place on Yelp but was confused to not see Asians Food but only Korea Mart. It looks sketchy as hell with barred windows and a door so tinted you can't see inside from the outside. Noting that Korea mart and Asiana food are both the same address, I walked in with my daughter in a stroller. I see a 2 row of Korean food products for purchase as well as a refrigerated section and grains section in the back. They have all my favorites with the vegan noodles in green package. Then there the restaurant, with the cook and wife eating while bussing the tables when they could. The wife sat me down and asked what I wanted but it was my first time here! Very cute. She handed me a menu and stood there waiting for my order. Pressure was on! I hastily ordered a bibimbop and short ribs but decided to change to short rib soup. Food came out pretty fast and plentiful of meat. I would ask for light salt for both meat and soup, otherwise the meat was tender and flavorful. The 5 side dishes are ALL YOU CAN EAT! And self service... I like me some fish cake, sprouted beans and kimchi. Overall a pleasant and quirky experience. If you don't mind the nuances of going to a mom and pop restaurant and home style type of service, this is a good place to go! Just mind the salt if you don't like heavy salted foods.

I loved coming here! It's located just off of Blackstone and next to a Motel 6. The store looks a bit rundown when you walk inside but we were happy to see plenty of customers on the restaurant side. We sat down and ordered spicy bulgogi, spicy chicken, and steamed rice. There were a selection of banchan (side dishes) available at a bar. It felt very much like eating in someone's house. The food was brought out and it was delicious! I would probably order a regular dish instead of spicy next time because it was too spicy for me after awhile. It was overall an amazing spot to get authentic Korean food. I'll be back to try more dishes!

Everything about this market / restaurant is comforting. I went during lunch as I love good Korean food. It liked the to be like a two person show. Maybe three? Nonetheless half isarlet and the other have is for freshly made made Korean dishes. We ordered the beef bulgogi and the spicy pork bulgogi. Both were insanely delicious. I have no idea how they get their beef to be so tender but it literally melts in your mouth. While you wait, they have an open stand that has Kimchi, cucumbers, bean sprouts, potatoes, and pickled radish (idk what it was but it was delicious). It is unlimited. They give you a lot of food for your money. Our entrees were coupled with a fresh steaming hot bowl of rice. My only bummer was the kimchi. I read the review and how delicious it is. Maybe it was off that day but it was super bland. Missing salt bigtime! Maybe garlic as well. I found some salt nearby and sprinkled it on, mixed it around, then it was yummy. Again, I think it was probably a bad day because everything else was delicious. When we arrived, maybe two tables had folks in sting. By the time we left, many of the tables for full with lots of to go orders. I definitely will be back and I I'll update about it he kimchi.

I came here once or twice pre-Covid and the restaurant was only a small portion of the place. I remembered the food being good and the bibimbap was great because the bottom rice was burnt. Since then, I've just been ordering food from the place and not actually going in. I was in the area today so decided to take my family there. Now the restaurant is majority of the place now and it has all you can eat self serve side dishes for dine in customers. Awesome! The bean sprouts and fish cakes were the best We ordered the seafood pancake, short rib soup, beef soft tofu soup and the bibimbap. The seafood pancake was good but needed a bit more seasoning. It came with a sauce that looks like gochugaru and rice wine vinegar? but it still needed a bit more salt. My mom got the beef short rib soup and said it was good and tasted like our Mhong braised beef but the meat was a bit too fatty for her taste. My aunt got the soondubu soup and it was delicious like always. I think this is the only place I've gotten consistantly good soondubu. I got the bibimbap but was a bit disappointed. It didn't come with the gochujang sauce and the rice wasn't burnt on the bottom. I don't know if I was supposed to request those or something but the previous time I ordered it, it came with it. Because of no sauce, I ended up just adding kimchi to it. But it was still somewhat bland tasting. Could've used a bit more salt too. The ambiance was nice. It was Sunday late afternoon so it was just my family and two other smaller parties. There are several tables too. I would say about 10-15 small parties max. They had two tvs playing different korean talent shows? But kind of wished they were playing korean movies more The servers were nice and polite. We ended up packing our left overs and the containers were out on a table by the side dishes so I assumed you grab those yourself, which I did. One of the servers brought bags for us to put our containers in. When we paid for our food, the server gave lollipops to my niece and nephew which was nice. Overall good experience but wished they added salt and pepper on the table so we can add it to our food. I would come again.

Good food. Average prices. Good service. Good menu with lots to choose from. Can't wait to try more.

My family love to come this is small hole in the wall, mom and pop shop. The owners are so humble and welcoming every time we come to eat there. Their soft tofu soups are the go to items we choose most of the time. The short rib plate is also very good! And with only two of them running this restaurant/ Korean mart is impressive. Plus they added the addition to all you can eat Korean side dishes which we enjoy because we always want more kimchi as we continue to eat. Please look this place up and try it if you're looking for a Korean food fix!

A little difficult to start ordering, but it worked out. Spicy chicken soup with tofu added and a seafood pancake ordered The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 20 minutes. I went in to get it. It's at a Korea Mart. Little restaurant to the left of it. The order was ready and the worker was kind. Really great how the order was set up. Organized and put in a box to make it easier to carry. Appreciated! Lunchtime! Soup and seafood pancake split. The seafood pancake is HUGE! The seafood pancake was different, but really good. Even better with the spicy sauce it came with. The spicy chicken soup with tofu added was Fantastic! Really flavorful! Great tofu and chicken! Mother said hers was great! She really liked the soup! Leftovers too! Definitely worth it! Good service and delicious soup and seafood pancake! Highly recommended!

I've been here I think 3 times now? I haven't been bothered eating here. The service has been fine for me, no issues having missing or messed up orders. The food is great. Only disappointment is the banchan has always been a miss for me here. Never tastes fresh. That's ok, the main course makes up for it. Love to grab some snacks and goodies from the shop area on the way out.

A coworker recommended this place for lunch today and it was a dud. We walked in and there was only one table with some people eating and socializing. We sat there for 15 minutes being ignored before our coworker who is Asian finally asked them to wait on us. No menus given we had to ask and then they brought only three of our items instead of four ordered. I think the lady who was taking our order doesn't speak English because she got our order wrong and then was the cashier and could barely communicate with us. Also when they delivered the food it was tiny portions and then we had to almost yell at them to bring us plates! Hello are you a restaurant or just a hangout for Koreans because we got the impression they really didn't care. The flavor was ok but u won't go back because of service and lack of good food for not cheap price.

Cheap and good, mom-and-pop Korean food. People are missing out not knowing this place

I was looking through my yelp reviews and was surprised I hadn't left anything for here yet! One of my favorite food spots in Fresno. I went the other day and tried the spicy rice cakes, BBQ chicken, beef bulgogi, and fried dumplings. Dumplings were perfection, the rice cakes were immaculate (I wish they came with a cheese topping but I know that's not everywhere), and I did prefer the BBQ chicken to the bulgogi, but both are good. All entrees came with a side of rice and you can get banchan (side dishes) from a buffet style bar. My FAAAAAVORITE side dish is the bean sprout salad. There were also spicy marinated cucumbers my last visit, a dish I hadn't seen before but loved! If you order the spicy rice cakes, I recommend getting fish cakes from the banchan bar and adding it to the sauce.

YUM! Local Korean food spot that hits the spot literally everytime c: I especially love the tteokbokki here because it's not tooooooo spicy but still has that kick signature to Korean food. I can handle Medium spice level and it's just slightly above that. The fried rice was flavorful and seasoned well. Their mandu was not as great when we do takeout but still good. You ask can't beat the price :)

I absolutely love this place! Been going here ever since 2018! Food is amazing and love the lady who serves us, so kind and generous!

Superrrr good foodddddd!!!! Authentic korean food 10/10 recommended And the service is fine

If you are looking for great authentic Korean in Fresno this is the spot for you. The service is friendly, the food is great and the portions are very generous. They have Banchan which is great and little dishes you can serve yourself. The soups are great and super spicy and absolutely delicious. I highly recoommend the Tofu and Kimchi Stews. Done just right and served piping hot to the table. They will adjust the spice to your desired level. The spicy squid is great in a sweet/spicy sauce. Highly recommend this dish. The squid is not over cooked and rubbery it's done just right. Spicy Chicken is also very good. All the sauces are great. Service is spot on and the restaurant is full of families which is always good to see. Love this place.

Great home-style Korean food in Fresno. The spicy tofu soup, galbi, seafood pancake, and black bean noodles are very flavorful. Best is the banchan counter where you can refill your favorites if needed. Prices reasonable. Always pleasant owners.

I love the banchan self-service! The dishes I've had were fantastic! It's not fancy by any means but you get a great Korean meal.
