Shih Fa K.

Still the Koja I remember with awesome fries and sauce, delicious chicken wings, and yummy koja. Ordered the Zen Koja with the portobello mushroom, Umami Fries, and Korean Buffalo and Soy Garlic Wings. Service was okay. The ambiance was typical of other Kojas.

Original short rib koja w/ egg
Annabelle R.

Got the original short rib koja with an added egg for dinner this past Friday. This is easily the best thing on their menu IMO, and my go-to dish at this chain. It was made just right. Looked exactly like the pic on the menu, with layers of the good stuff. The rice bun slightly crispy on the outside, the kalbi meat tender and flavorful, all of the other ingredients in perfect proportions to elevate taste while holding together well. It was fast and easy to order on the self-order kiosks, no interaction with staff needed. And I got a text when it was ready, which took less than ten minutes. The place was clean, modern, and inviting. I was able to listen to live music in the plaza while dining in the restaurant's outdoor patio. Based on quality of food and overall experience, this may be the best Koja Kitchen I've been to in the bay area.

Short rib bowl
Peter N.

TL;DR -- I am really glad I got the short rib bowl, over the Koja. My friend got the "Koja" and he liked everything except for the fact that the rice was ultra ultra cripsy and then soft and chewy in the middle. I mean, that's the point but definitely not for me! I got the Short rib bowl and I was surpised by how much you get in the serving size (even togo). For maybe close to $11-13 I got tender, flavorful korean-marinated short ribs off the bone (tasted straight off the grill) with a nice bed of rice and greens + kimchi. Solid! We ordered on the electronic kiosks at the front and after a quick (what felt like) 5 minutes, the food was ready (to-go) on the side counter. They make you put a phone number down, so that they can text you updates on the order. Otherwise, we could've eaten there. Great atmosphere with plentiful seating and air conditioning. There is also limited seating outdoors in the plaza, just outside near the parking lot.

Ahi Tuna Rice Bowl
Vincent P.

I haven't had Koja Kitchen in a while, so when I saw that they had a Fremont location, I decided to give it a try again. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl and it was a solid bowl. The flavors were all tasty and the bowl was really filling. I usually like the build my own poke bowl, but this was a solid customized poke bowl. I am glad report that Koja Kitchen remains a solid Asian fusion casual food option for a quick and tasty meal!

Short Rib Bowl
Ariana R.

It's been a few years since my last visit to this location & the experience is just as good as I remembered. It's located across from Sleep Number and near the movie theater. I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for well marinated meat & fresh food. Think of it like Korean bbq + Japanese street food. I ordered the short rib bowl (no fries this time) But their fries are so good! So crispy & you can upgrade them to kamikaze or umami fries. Aside from the bowl, I would like to highlight the spinach salad, and the kimchi definitely heightened the bowl and gave it such freshness along with the rice. I am here for a work trip so I showed my coworkers places around the area I used to eat and they loved this spot. They ordered the tacos and the bowls. They serve fresh lemonade which I ordered & everyone else got fountain drinks. Service was quick and they now have self order screens available. After ordering they give you a buzzer when food is ready. They have tons of seating inside and outdoor seating as well.

Beef KoJa
Christine C.

I have tried several locations and this was my first time trying this one. The original and the beef koja were made well. Rice patty had the right amount of crunch. Veggies were fresh and the portions of the meat were good too. I haven't tried any of the chickens ones but my go-to is the original koja.

"The Original" KoJa
Mike D.

"Sweet Buns, Crispy Rice, and Solid Comfort Food at KoJa" Food (4.5 / 5): The Original KoJa is always a fan favorite, and it's easy to see why -- the crispy rice bun paired with flavorful meat is a classic. That said, it personally wasn't my top pick this time since I prefer softer rice. Next visit, I'll probably go with the bowl instead. What really surprised me was the Bulgogi Bun Burger. The bun tastes like a giant piece of Hawaiian bread with a subtle sweetness that works perfectly with the dish. The beef was tender, and the bulgogi marinade was extremely flavorful -- easily the standout item for me. The waffle fries deserve a shoutout too. Paired with their sauces, they're extremely good and go well with just about anything on the menu. And if you still have room, you can't go wrong with the Spam Musubi. It comes with plenty of toppings, letting you switch up the flavors and keep things interesting until the last bite. Service (4 / 5): Ordering is simple and efficient. You place your order at a kiosk, and about 10 minutes later you'll get a text letting you know your food is ready. Smooth, no-fuss process. Ambience / Décor: The restaurant offers outdoor seating, making it pet friendly. The setup is casual and relaxed -- a great spot to grab a quick bite or hang out with friends. Overall: KoJa delivers solid, flavorful food with a few standout items, especially the bulgogi bun burger. Easy ordering, outdoor seating, and good portions make this a spot worth revisiting.

Koja Kitchen has been around for a while and I'm surprised I only come here a few times. Each time has always been a good experience though! My bf and I wanted a quick bite to eat before the movies so we ended up here :) I got the beef bowl with an egg added and my bf got the chicken bowl with 2 eggs lol. Pretty delicious! I got so full. The beef was marinated well and tbh the crab salad is so good here. I think the portions are more than enough! Also if you don't like any spice, make sure to remove gochujang otherwise leave it if you enjoy that! Overall, this place can't disappoint esp. if you know what you're ordering! Service was cool, we did kinda come in 45 min before closing but it wasn't too busy! Ambiance was alright as well, we sat outside though!

Anuja P.

went here and got the kamikaze fries, soy garlic wings and the chicken and rice bowl. It was SOOOOOOO good. It was fresh, crispy and very flavorful. Not the most fancy ambience but food hits it out of the park, and great portions for the price.

Chicken Bowl
Preet P.

We wanted to try something with different flavors, and Koja delivered! We ordered the chicken bowl, kamikaze fries, and one chicken taco, everything was delicious. The flavor, spice level, and portion sizes were all on point. One thing to note: there was no cashier or counter staff taking orders. You place your order at a kiosk/stand, get a receipt with your number, and wait for them to call it. Simple enough, just good to know ahead of time. Restaurant itself is very quite big with multiple seating arrangements and very clean as well. Will be back for sure!!

Waffle fries (combo option)
Tia V.

Came here to give this spot another shot and it still wasn't was good as the first time. The lettuce in the bowls was soggy and didn't seem fresh. The meat wasn't as lean either. There were several pieces with big chunks or fat and gristle. Disappointing because the actual meat pieces are really tasty. The fries were pretty good but get mushy very quick. I don't know if we'll be back. Don't think it's worth it for $40.

Cindy H.

Yummmm! The fries here are so good! They are so flavorful and delicious- it's also super affordable as well. I had my order packed to go and it was fresh and crispy just how I like it!

Braised pork bowl Togo
Frank L.

Pretty solid spot for casual lunch. Nothing insane but everything is generally pretty good. I like to use the deals on Uber eats too belly down the price a lil bit tho. The braised pork is solid love the coconut miso finally. The bowls all have a carb veggie and protein so it's good for a healthy ish meal. Don't forget the kojas which are like crispy rice burgers/sandwiches

Clockwise: signature spam musubi, kamikaze fries, umami fries, ahi tuna bowl

Passion for Catering was recommended by a friend and booked them for our baby shower of about 75 guests.

The team was responsive throughout the booking process (a huge plus) and offered an eclectic and robust menu. That's all great to start but the real test came the day of our event. Their team was there on time to set up and food was ready by the time our first guests arrived. The food was delectable and truly made our time with friends and family memorable.

Michi's Catering was one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding. From beginning to end,…read morethey were incredibly responsive, accommodating, professional, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. From our very first tasting, I could not stop talking about how good the food at our wedding was going to be. That's how excited I was. The food was INSANE. The tasting itself was also such a lovely experience--they made everything feel so personal and were genuinely so sweet and welcoming. I left the tasting already knowing our guests were going to be well fed. And somehow, the food at the actual wedding was just as amazing. Michi and his team, Raphael and Michael, were outstanding. They were so professional and attentive, and you could tell how much pride they take in what they do. Michi himself is also just the sweetest. He made our guests feel so welcomed and taken care of, and his team even made sure my husband and I had plates of food so we actually got to eat at our own wedding--which we appreciated SO much. The FOOD. I cannot say enough about it. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our guests were raving about it. Wedding food can sometimes feel like an afterthought, but that was absolutely not the case with Michi. It was genuinely one of the highlights of our wedding. Their presentation is also phenomenal. They have such an eye for making everything look beautiful and aesthetic. It wasn't just catering--it felt like another part of the overall design of our wedding. Everything looked intentional, elevated, and just as good as it tasted. I also LOVE their business model. Instead of nickel-and-diming you or charging per piece like so many other caterers, they have a per-person pricing structure that made everything feel so much easier. Our guests could actually EAT, everyone was happy and full, and we never felt like we had to worry about whether there would be enough food. Michi's is worth EVERY PENNY. The combination of incredible food, beautiful presentation, professionalism, and genuinely amazing service is so hard to beat. I truly cannot say enough good things about Michi and his entire team. If they had a restaurant, I would literally be there all the time. That is how good their food is. If you're considering Michi's Catering for your wedding or event, BOOK THEM. Your guests will be fed, happy, and talking about the food afterward. Thank you Michi, Raphael, Michael, and the entire team for taking such amazing care of us and our guests. You guys are phenomenal.

You can really tell how much care and creativity Raphael, Mike, Michi, and the whole family put into what they do. We ultimately went with another caterer that was a closer fit for the specific dinner experience we had in mind, but we came away extremely impressed with Michi's Life and were treated like family. Would absolutely recommend them and would happily consider them for another event in the future!

Then came the day of the event and absolutely delivered! Everything we discussed and everything I envisioned was brought to life and honestly, it turned out even better than I expected. The DIY Vietnamese Noodle Bar was a huge hit. Everyone kept raving about how delicious the food was, and it was so rewarding to see people enjoying something I had envisioned for the event. To top it all off, the catering team was incredibly kind, accommodating, and professional. As we all know, great food and great service go hand in hand, and D-D Delight nailed both. The food was exceptionally well executed. The beef was perfectly seasoned and tender (not chewy at all!!) and had that wonderful smoky flavor from the char. The chicken was also beautifully seasoned with a nice lemongrass flavor that really came through. I heard so many great things about the grilled shrimp as well. I initially thought the tofu might be bland but I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful and delicious it turned out. Not to mention, they also had a vegan version of the Nuoc Cham for our vegetarian guests! Every component was thoughtfully prepared, and the entire experience, from planning to execution, was fantastic. Kudos to Chef Dui and the entire D-D Delight team!

Food, Service = 5 Another 5 star catering service delivery…read more What started as a repeat extremely satisfied customer order journeyed into uncertainty closed out with validation why Athena Grill Catering will always be one of my go to catering companies, especially for Greek, Mediterranean food. Went to their website to order catered buffet lunch for a board retreat happening the next day in Los Altos. As before site easy to navigate with a variety of options to tailor. The first clue that there might be issues was I wasn't able to see or select my ideal delivery time for later in the day. I thought they were already booked for the time. Then when I confirmed & paid for my order, the interface provided a message at bottom of my receipt that catering orders must be made 48 hours in advance. I did it the night before our retreat. (Made note to self to order 48 hours in advance in future) I was disappointed that the website did not clearly note must be made 48 hours in advance or message before I paid that I was ordering less than 48 hours. After making a decent size order for 9, I went in mode hoping to salvage this order. I sent email to restaurant and left a voicemail that night with intention to call in morning to ensure they can fulfill order or provide a refund if they cannot. I called in morning to leave another message in hopes they check messages before their Saturday opening time of 11am which would not allow enough time to cook & deliver. So while setting up for our retreat and searching for a plan B for lunch the hour before retreat starts at 9:30am, I discovered several missed calls. To my delight it was Lorena confirming that they can complete the order, to call back & that would need to pay $20 to deliverer (lunch delivery is complimentary during weekdays near to their restaurant). She left voicemail and text. When I called back, I thank her and Athena grill for coming through. Fast forward, food delivered in mobile hot boxes as expected on time by a couple, quietly arranged in the back of room, generous serving for 9, and very hot for traveling from Santa Clara to Los Altos. I confirmed with Lorena via text and expressed my gratitude who again was responsive. The food was enjoyed by all. We had salad (crisp w/dressing on side), grilled veggies (chunky cut that were firm not mushy), spanakopita (crisp phylo w/good size filling), vegetarian moussaka (would not miss the meat), rice (loose and more than enough for 9 of us), grilled skewered chicken (always moist), grilled salmon (first time and was good portion), and baklava (tasted home made). One of my colleagues asked if food was Halal, which I think they confirmed. Unsure if correct, so suggest contact restaurant directly. Brought leftovers for Hubby & Dad to enjoy. Made plans to eat at their restaurant so can enjoy other yummy dishes like their lamb. Thank you Lorena & Athena Grill Catering.
