I rate this restaurant very highly, thank you check please Bay Area!…read moreFirst of all, plenty of parking on the street with mini Solano Avenue shops to pop your head in. The staff at the restaurant are all very kind and welcoming. They seem to really care about your experience. The setting is quite unique: you're surrounded by a Korean small market yet outside the doors you're in getaway of a back patio with trees and foliage surrounding you. Quite serene. As for the food, the menu is quite vast, which I am happy about since I will be back to try everything! This was our second visit and during our first trip we were very happy with the three items we ordered, Rosé rice cakes, Dupp bop spicy pork belly, and Jang pasta w/ pork belly. My wife and I loved the duck bop spicy pork belly because it was not just a huge cube of meat, but instead, it was sliced fin to take on a lot of the good sauce. Today I had the lunch special, which left me extremely satisfied. The portion size was large as I'm a rather large eater anyway... The Bulgogi beef was seasoned perfectly over a bit of cabbage or greens, white rice, and the kimchi spicy pork belly soup as you will see in the image was bubbling hot. Superb but watch out if you can't handle the heat as it is a bit spicy. I would say the prices are fair as well. Reservations were not necessary and attire is very casual.

We ordered the kimchi bibimbap and the regular bibimbap with beef. So flavorful and tasty. That's always our go-to when we visit this spot. All that being said, it's the mini tofu soups that come with the bibimbap that steal the show. The tofu soup is so tasty, flavorful, and warm that it heals the soul. I always bring my friends here when they're visiting from out of town. 10/10. The staff is exceptional, as always. Will continue to come back.

The bibimbap was sizzling, the Chicken Katsu was packed with flavor, and the Bulgogi Tacos had the perfect kick.

Spoon is the kind of place that makes you want to order "just one more thing" because we definitely last minute chose to take home the Bulgogi Nachos. Definitely a spot I'd happily come back to!

The creamy rosé spicy rice cake was one of my favorite dishes! The noodle was super filling, with flavorful & creamy sauce! We added meat to it to make it more filling! The spicy braised short ribs were a crowd pleaser, and definitely on the pricier side. I would recommend you try it. The sweet and spicy combination along with the texture. The meat is cooked to is perfect. The Bonchon kimchi were really good, and of course, with unlimited refills. The kimchi fried rice was average, very standard kimchi fried rice with a fried egg on top. The service was pretty great and they were really attentive and bagged out to-go items into plastic containers for us. Highly recommend!

Omg! Amazing discovery! Amazing authentic Korean! Holy cow! What a gem! Tell all your friends!…read more First off, bonchon dishes are amazing. Fresh, flavorful and fulfilling. My must have is the eggplant. Ugh! Yum! Sauce, samjang is samjanggggging! They make this in house. Store bought samjang isn't the same and other places don't make their own from scratch. The sauce is the ONE! My favorite go-tos to order is the pork belly platter served with rice and copious amounts of romaine lettuce. So fresh and satisfying. The tofu soup option is also a must and they allow you to go extra spicy. Korean food isn't typically spicy but the extra spice level is what I need when I'm looking for more than just a hint and a kick. Service - amazing! Super attentive and observative. They pay attention. For example, low on samjang. You don't need to ask, they bring it right to you. Low on bonchon, they'll bring more. Also, if you notice for to go orders, they pack you bonchon. This is rare. No one does this. You guys have a customer for life!

The Korean fried chicken was definitely a favorite. We got the yangnyeom flavor, and the chicken was juicy and tender with a perfectly balanced, flavorful sauce. The fried chicken gizzards were another standout--crispy, savory, and so good with drinks. The rose jjimdak was like a delicious mix of creamy tteokbokki and tender chicken, and it paired especially well with the tuna DIY rice balls. Making the rice balls ourselves was such a fun touch, and they were surprisingly delicious! We also tried the spam kimchi pancake and corn cheese, which were the perfect combination with the makgeolli we ordered. We had such a great time here. Come earlier for a casual dinner, or later at night to really enjoy the lively Korean nightlife and street-food atmosphere.

Even though it is a pocha, the food all felt very akin to Chinese food, with strong but singular flavours for each dish The fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce tasted like orange chicken. It came with slightly crisp tteok which was nice to break up the overwhelming flavour with that texture difference The squid dish offered a similar experience, with the texture of the crispy noodles distracting from the squid sauce for a limited time The crab and egg soup was a bit disappointing, the crab was the shredded fake crab stick kind, the soup was thick but mix of flavours (heavy on the green and red bell peppers) left a lot to be desired.

Tried Chimmelier a long while back and found myself in the comfort of quick service, good food, and a cozy environment. When I first tried Chimmelier, my partner and I ordered the following: - Hot yangnyum chicken - OMFG chicken - Seasoned fries Between the chicken types, I definitely preferred the OMFG chicken in terms of the flavor. The yangnyum didn't wow me, but was still yummy. The chicken here is crispy and flavorful, but in a way that tastes... clean? (At least in my opinion). The seasoned fries are so good! I took leftovers home and tossed them in the airfryer - they held on to that good flavor. Compared to other Korean places offering chicken options in the area, I'd put Chimmelier up there due to the style and quality of the food! I highly encourage people to come try it if they're in the area!
