This place is okay! Cafeteria style eatery inside a shopping center, you come for the convenience either before of after grocery shopping. Food 3/5: We've tried the majority of the menu here and the food isn't something we'd come out of the way for, but it's decent for what it is! Pork katsu is a bit dry and thin, breading immediately falls off when you pick up a piece. Kimchi rice is probably the best part but it's a bit bland. Banchan is overly sweet, but somehow it still compliments the meal. The seafood tofu soup is comforting but lacks a lot of the flavor I've come to love from SGD Tofu House or Enjoy Seoul. Ambiance 3/5: The dining area is spacious and there are plenty of dining tables. I've come at numerous times and never had a problem finding a seat. The dining area is usually tidy as long as people pick up after themselves. Sometimes they have ear splitting, loud music on, so loud that the staff can't hear me when taking my order. Service 3/5: It's quick and efficient due to the cafeteria dining style, you order your food, wait to pick it up, and then return your tray to the speed racks they have lined up in front of the ordering stall. Added an extra star for the row of the little claw machines they've added! Now you can play while waiting for your food. Overall, I come for the convenience and for the claw machines!
Went to Hmart for the first time and ended up eating here. Area was clean and the food was really good and the wait wasn't that long. Pricing is about what you would expect to pay so it was worth it. Seafood pancake was so delicious we ate it all before remembering to take a pic lol The chicken bibimbap was fresh and flavorful but the small soup it came with was just ok. The tofu soup and ramen were really good. I doubt you will be dissapointed if you give this place a try. I'm definitely coming back.
Very solid spot if you are feeling hungry after a shopping spree at HMart. I wouldn't go out of my way to come just for this, but it is quite convenient being in a Korean market. Although the food isn't the best of quality, the diverse menu and variety makes up for it. There are even prepackaged meals that the staff can reheat for you after purchasing that are cheaper than the menu items. Korean Fried Rice w/Chicken Katsu (4/5): Love that this came with some sides. The rice was good but not much kimchi flavor at all. The chicken katsu was breaded nicely and the flavor was good, but the skin fell off the chicken too easily.
Love the half off food or buy one get one deals. We love the fish tofu here and it tastes even better warmed up. The staff are really sweet too, tons of entertainment as well with the gacha machines across.
We came to do some shopping at Hmart & my niece had told me the ramen here is amazing & she was not lying! The beef ramen is delicious! The broth is so flavorful. The banchan is also very yummy. We also got some watermelon tea which was very refreshing but a bit too sweet for my liking. Service is fast and friendly- the service is cafeteria style.
We had the bibimbap, and it was really amazing! The portion was generous and the flavors were comforting and not too salty. The space was also very open but secluded from the rest of the store, so it was comfortable.
Food is always good! Side dishes are great. Very convenient to go to when shopping around. Staff is very friendly. Tables and chairs are always available and is also pretty tidy (as long as people clean up after themselves)
affordable and tasty not the greatest food, but def work grabbing a bite here while hmart shopping. especially their bibimbap, which comes out sizzling and loaded with meat and veggies. their katsu + kimchi fried rice is okay. katsu is a little bit dry and overcooked in my opinion.
My friend and I decided to stop by the North San Jose H Mart to have lunch in the food court together! We both ordered the ramen sundubu jjigae, I got beef with medium spiciness and she got chicken with mild spiciness. My banchan was pickled cucumbers and fish tofu. Looks like according to the reviews, if you get regular sundubu without ramen they'll give you purple rice too!! Get your fix of carbs in whichever way you desire! The tofu stew was delicious, there was a LOT of ramen. It came with soybean sprouts, green onions, and some white cabbage/cucumbers/assorted vegetables. Overall really good, medium spicy wasn't burning at all and was the right level for me. My friend and I both enjoyed this location, the portions are very big too.
Foods pretty decent for a food court. Maybe a little in the greasy side. But it's expensive. Seafood pancake was about fifteen dollars. I'd say it's enough for a meal but you wouldn't want just that for a meal. So we also got the short ribs. Flavorful but too sweet. It does come with rice and soup but the soups a little bland. Not worth thirty dollars at all. They do have prepared foods also. Suns look pretty yummy. Order at counter and seat yourself. Cleanliness is determined by whoever sat before you.
This is a quick stop if you'd like to get some soup before or after you shop. Just know it's quite expensive for what you get! And the service wasn't much, you bus your own tables. The person in charge had to call and confirm our receipt number even though we were the only there who ordered and were waiting... The ambience is loud since it's in a super market but very casual so it's nice to just catch up with a friend or something. My tofu soup was a disappointment it was $16.99 but there were barely anything in it except for mostly tofu and onions. And the beef tofu was the most spicy thing on the menu and it came with two pieces!!! And the soup was so salty. I could barely slurp on it. It was my first time there so I probably will not come back. I rather go to SDG Tofu house
Came here around 12. The restaurant is inside the H-Mart and there is plenty of seating. You can also buy banchan and prepared meals at this restaurant to-go or to eat there. Food was good and filling. If you get tofu soup, you will get a side of purple rice. For water and napkins, you will have to ask the woman at the counter to grab them for you. This place is perfect for a post-HMart shopping meal.
Good quick food to grab or dine in. There are plenty of tables to sit. You order at front or can grab the premade meals in the fridge. They will heat those if you choose to grab one. Otherwise you can order a fresh option of Ramen tofu soup, tofu soup, katsu, udon noodles. Bbq iron plate and more. Located inside HMart. So plenty of parking in lot.
I don't know why folks seem to dislike BBQ Town here, but I actually enjoyed every visit. Foods and flavors have improved over the years. I'm still very satisfied with my orders when dining inside this food court area where the public restrooms are nearby. Best of all, it's quite convenient for all staffs/employees working at HMart and nearby. BBQ Town employee was busy as usual, but my order was ready within 6-7 minutes. Tipping optional. Atmosphere is relaxed and casual. Food prices appear ok for now. I came early mid-morning for the $16-$17 tofu veggie regular bibimbap meal. Decent and delicious. One tray can easily be shared between two people as desired. I like that they are generous with food portions and the tray meals are always balanced and fulfilling. Rice and fish cakes are plenty. No complaints. My tofu and veggies were all very good, so I really enjoyed it here. I didn't remember the tofu option as I usually come here for chicken or beef items. I will keep coming back if everything still remains under $20 per order. read more

They gave us a bibimbap bowl half full. The bowls look wide at the top but are very skinny at the bottom. In the pictures, what you see is all we got plus about half a bowl of rice at the bottom. When we called to complain, the cashier kept insisting we drive back to the physical location saying she cou. This place used to be our family's go to until this particular cashier stayed with there. Her attitude and response me feel very unsafe to go back to this location. read more
Located inside the San Jose H Mart, they offers a great variety of Korean bento. If you're dining in, you can ask for your bento to be reheated, which is very convenient. We ordered the spicy pork fried rice bento and the udon noodles. Both were delicious, but the udon soup was a bit too salty for our taste. They also included kimchi side dishes, which was a nice surprise to us. The Korean lady who helped us was very friendly and smiled often, this made the dining experience more pleasant. read more

Reasonable price and I was very satisfied with my taste! The service was also excellent. I always love coming back to this place with my family so I would definitely recommend this place. read more
Was feeling hungry in HMart so I decided to stop by BBQ Town for some food. I got the jajangmyeon which the nice lady heated up for me. The noodles were a little soggy (but expected since they're prepackaged and have been sitting out) but the sauce was very flavorful. I honestly liked the taste more than paiks noodles. For $7, it was definitely worth it as long as you get some protein somewhere else. Will come back to try the other prepackaged food they have. read more

I paid a few minutes before a family and another man paid for their food, yet my plates were warmed up after their total of 8 plates. They spoke the lady who was working's language and for some reason that meant they got priority over me as a customer. Wasted my entire 30 minute lunch break for something that normally takes 10 minutes at most. Worse part is she swapped one of my plates out without me knowing because she put it on the bottom layer of the bag. Had a pork and chicken plate, but ended up having two chicken plates. Food has always been okay at best, but after this experience I ain't coming back read more
We really enjoyed another Hmart cafeteria food so we thought we would give this one a shot! It was a good wait so go shopping after you make your order!! We got the pork rice bowl, it was pretty good, small portion. The galbi was disappointing, looked great, smaller portion but too saucy and salty. Maybe we'll check out the soup next time. read more

Did grocery at H-mart and we decided to have quick dinner around . Notice there were small food court inside the market so we gave it a try Ordered Pork tofu soup and beef Ramen tofu soup . I only suggest you to order their ramen tofu soup if you do not even know how to cook aninstant noodle , otherwise don't bother to order it . The soup base was exactly the same as korean instant noodle , and the noodle was cooked way to soft . With couple piece of tofu and 5-6 very small pieces of beef For the pork tofu soup , it came when the rice . The rice was well made but the taste of soup base was rare . I would not come back for that read more

I stopped by Hmart for some hotpot items. And I was Running out of time for lunch. So I picked up filling orders: 1. Meatball bowl $5.99 2. Beef bulgogi bowl $6.99 3. Chicken bowl $6.99 4. Jap Chap Bowl $5.99 5. Side of radish Kim chi Beef bulgogi hardly has any beef, Jap Cha is plain, not even much of veggies in there , no meat either. All there is was noodles. All of the items are overly sweetened. I felt very tired and mouth is very dried after the meal... Not sure if that's the usual feeling I get from ingesting MSG. I have not yet tried their menu items in the food court. It was around noon time on a Saturday. Food court was pretty empty. read more

Charging every thing that's supposed to provide for customers? Hot sauce and take out boxes, you named it! The seafood pancake is soggy. Chicken katsu is okay but zero veggie accompany with the plate as picture showed. Terrible service make terrible dinning experience! read more
BBQ Town serves a basic, but delicious array of Korean specialties such as tofu soup, bibimbap, and seafood pancake. They take your order, give you a pager, and you wait a short 5-7 minutes for your order. They also offer grab and go dishes (smaller, pre packed servings of their menu) that you can ask them to heat up before you leave, but I would definitely recommend waiting for a fresh order if you have the time. They make their seafood pancake the right amount of chewy and crisp on the edges, so I am for sure coming back on my next visit to Hmart! read more

I live close to HMart so BBQ Town is the place that I go to when I am craving a quick grab n' go Korean meal during a busy work day or after a gym session. Their bento boxes and bowls in the premade section are always made the day of. They also have a restaurant/sit-down style menu too but I've never ordered that so this is a review of their premade items. FYI -- After a certain time in the day, their items are discounted heavily (I got a bowl for $3.99 once in the early evening). I typically get the $8.99 plate that has a fried egg, kimchi fried rice, japchae, oi muchim, fishcake, and teriyaki chicken. I like that the egg tends to be more on the over easy/medium side. The kimchi fried rice is very tasty, and so are the other sides. My personal favorites are the japchae + fishcake! I would honestly say that the food here could be compared neck to neck with other Korean restaurants that charge higher price points. I've also tried just the japchae bowl, kimchi fried rice bowl, and fishcake side (all are cheaper, individual, but larger portions; I don't recall the prices). No complaints! :) read more
Convenient, quick food if you're shopping at or near H Mart and want something to eat! They have made-to-order hot food as well as premade bowls on the side. The portions are fairly small, and it's not the most flavorful Korean food you'll find, obviously, but they're the perfect amount to tide me over when I'm hungry but don't have any food other than uncooked groceries. The people who work at the counter are quite friendly, they take card/touch free payment, and there are tables with seating if you want to eat at the store! Kimchi fried rice ($5.99): you're not getting much in terms of real nutritional value, imo, as it's really just rice w/ an egg on top. Despite its appearance, it's not the most flavorful, but it's still a decent amount of food for the price, and is satisfying for a quick meal. read more
