YangNyum Wings (6pcs)

I remember when Koja Kitchen was all the rage, before food trucks and fusion food became super popular. We came to this location on a Sunday night because there was a long wait at another restaurant. There were no customers, just one cook in the back with a kiosk in front to order. Normally, no customers would be a red flag but we ate there anyway because we knew the brand name, Koja. The food was okay but everyone in my party had an upset stomach the next few days. It started that evening, and our party represented three separate home. We really think it was the food. That said, maybe it was an off day, or maybe Koja Kitchen has had their day. But from my experience, I wasn't totally thrilled. Didn't like feeling sick days after.

Umami Fries

Yummy food. Takes a little longer to get your food than you would think so just plan for that. You order from a kiosk Fries- a little salty from the sauces but good to share and for a small bite. I wouldn't order again though. Bowl- so good! Beef was a little salty but I really liked the combo with the rice. The salad was surprisingly delicious and I loved the dressing. Recommend getting this. Taco- double tortilla kept it from falling apart. Generous serving. Tasty! Casual takeout spot.

I eat here a couple of times a year and it's usually a 4-5 star experience. I love their crispy rice patties. However, last night was a disappointment. The top rice patty to my Original was completely overcooked. It was a hard chunk with no chewiness at all. Just hard over fried rice and was inedible. My partner ordered the Zen burger which is usually very good. Last night it had barely any sauce or flavor. She ended up having to add some salt to it. We had ordered it To Go so no way to remedy our order once we started eating it at home.

Saturday taco special with upgraded kamikaze fries

I have been here several times and finally remembered to bring the $25 gift card I won at a Yelp event sponsored by CAAP 4 years ago. Unfortunately the card didn't work anymore as the owners switched the type of gift cards they use. Pretty much a major downer even though the staff did all they could including calling their manager. Not sure why gift cards records would nit be accessible since there was no expiration date on my GC. The Midtown location is a cool spot open late and it has its own late night bar. Koja's food is on the sweet side but it's always delicious. Funny thing in the past Koja was sort if pricey but now with post covid prices they are more inline with normal pricing. The manager said they would take one menu item off of my order which is ok but $13.95 compared to $25 is still not a fair trade.

We were in Sacramento getting ready to see a concert at the golden 1 center and decided to check this place out for dinner. It's not super big but has nice outdoor seating .. it is a little weird if you need to use the restroom cause it's downstairs and down there it's like a bar/club but the worst part is we didn't use the bathroom, it smelt sooo bad and not clean. The restaurant itself was not super clean at all and a bit dingy. You order at a little kiosk pad. The food was good and would try again Kamikaze fries- 4.5/5 Beef short rib bowl - 4/5 Braised pork taco- 4/5

YangNyum Wings (6pcs)
Jessica F.

Delicious wings! The wings were so crispy, so flavorful so large and satiating I was obsessed (and I don't even normally like wings). We tried the korean buffalo sauce and the yang nyum sauce, the yang nyum were our favorite the sweet but spicy combo made them a winner. The wings were both crispy and incredibly juicy. Buffalo was on the spicy side and very very saucy! Great place for a quick in and out before the game. Two minor detractors were the kiosk you order at takes an incredibly long time, would be nice to have a second kiosk so the wait is shorter. The ambiance was a little strange with the bar downstairs that gave skeevy nightclub vibes. My partner also ordered the pork taco which looked incredibly sad and was completely flavorless, with gross ice berg lettuce. I did LOVE the wings and would come back just for that!

These are the kamikaze fries I got.

Koja Kitchen is easy to find in the corner of 8th & K, but only has street parking due to its location. It has a restaurant up top, a bar in the basement, and they're both dressed in cool modern accents. The bar is definitely more colorful with it's soft blue tones, funky lighting, and anime playing on the TVs. I order some waffle cut kamikaze fries for $9.75 and watched anime while I waited. When they arrived, the fries arrived they were hot, and crispy. They were topped with minced Korean BBQ beef, red sauce, and Japanese mayo. They were supposed to come with sautéed onions, kimchi, and green onions, but I didn't see or taste them. My fries lacked the color, and some ingredients, of the ones pictured in the menu, so I wasn't completely satisfied. They were still good, but I'm only giving them 4 stars. The staff was nice, the restaurant was clean, and they have a great menu. I plan to go back, and try more of their interesting dishes. Hopefully with all the ingredients next time.

Thai Iced Tea with Boba
Lily M.

A cool spot. They have an underground club too which I've heard is pretty fun. The food is solid. Love the Koja Burger. Flavor great and the rice bun is unique. Last time I ordered take out they gave me the complete wrong items and I didn't check til I got home. It was still yummy but not what I order which sucked but I still came back for more hehe. The loaded fries are also a favorite (if I see loaded fries anywhere on a menu I will be trying it)! Glad they have boba too, it compliments the menu well. The design is cool! Love the lights and art. Parking here is, well you know, it's downtown lol. You will prob have to walk here from parking further or the doco lots, but it's a great bite to eat before a kings game or concert!

food was ok, kind of small but not terrible. service was ok as well but not anything great. might give it a try again but probably not.

Came here for a lunch break from work and met up with a friend here. She's been here before and recommended it while it was my first time. The location is in such a convenient area from Golden 1 center and DOCO. Walking in, the place is basically 2 places in 1. Koja kitchen is the top part while it's a bar vibe downstairs late at night. Once you get in line to order, you immediately see the sign for their daily specials. I got so excited to see the 2 musubi and fries combo for Friday deal but then realized that I was there on a Thursday LOL. I ended up getting a Signature Musubi and small fries while my friend got a chicken koja bowl. I'm definitely coming back on one of the days when they have the musubi and fries deal because I just love musubis!

Braised Pork Koja
Wendy F.

Convenient spot if you're planning to hang around the DOCO area. You can order with staff or from the kiosk. Ordered a "Koja" braised pork burger where the bun is made of pan fried rice buns. They loaded it up with flavor and sauce so every bite was filling and delicious! Only downside is when you get to the bottom, it's where all the oil comes out of, so it can get messy.

Alex L.

This place has unique food, fusion of American and Asian. You do have to order through computer. Food was tasty and had lots of special sauces. They also have a beer selection, and a full barrel bellow.

Koja Kitchen in Downtown Sacramento is a great place that can serve up quick, flavorful bites at very reasonable prices. Their menu is chock-full of flavorful options, catering to a wide variety of tastes, and is considered one of the best restaurants around due to its satisfying meals and good price. The portions are very good, the food always fresh, and the flavors just right, whether it be for lunch or even a casual dinner. They have a variety of choices to satisfy all appetites. They so get fairly busy during lunch hours, so allow yourself some time to enjoy the food. There's plenty of seating inside and outside in the patio area. If you happen to be in Downtown Sacramento, Kojak Kitchen will definitely provide great food for decent prices, along with excellent warm service.

Fantastic Spot To "Pregame" Shows @ Goldfields Next Door…read more SITREP We descended upon the Tack Room an hour before our show for "Ally The Piper" (both the classical AND heavy metal bagpiper extraordinaire) began her show! THE SETUP Goldfields is a charming, rustic country-western stylized saloon that serves up beer at good prices. But we weren't interested in beer and wanted quality cocktails. Hence, our pivot next door to the Tack Room! QUALITY COCKTAILS & DRINKS! The Tack Room specializes an amazing array of martinis, bourbons, and other deLISH cocktail drinks at really really reasonable prices! So this was an excellent choice to chill, thus avoiding the tremendous *noise pollution* we were immediately subjected to upon entering Goldfields an hour later for our show. THE LOWDOWN This is a quality bar with plenty of comfortable seating to relax and have quiet, intimate conversations. So if you and your later friend(s) want some privacy, cocktails at a reasonable price, etc., this is a good way to go.

It's themed around horse racing, but not in an overbearing or... tacky way. The mixologist was delightful and had great recommendations, the lights were dim, and the drinks were all on point. The highlight was the espresso martini, which is among the best I've had. It was reminiscent of the one I had at the Starbucks Roastery in NYC, which is high praise. The other coffee drink that surprised me was the Revolver. I always forget about what a good pairing orange and coffee is, and I'll be taking this one back home with me to try! Every other drink we tried was delicious in some unique way. The Pho drink was savory and surprising, the New York Sour was rich and flavorful, and the Practical Move was refreshing. Will definitely return here after dinner to sip an espresso martini for dessert!

A favorite of theirs is The Snug; they thought we wouldn't be able to get in but thanks to a concert nearby they had free tables. It's primarily a cocktail bar, but I stuck with a beer. The decor is an awesome mix of contemporary, brick, old west, and 20s. It was a happy clientele too, with what seemed like a younger post-workday crowd. The server was also fantastic. If you like cocktail bars with character, this is worth the visit.

It's tucked away and…read moredoesn't face the street, which may be why but that also adds to the charm of bringing your friends here! Snug is themed around a modernized interpretation of an English hunting lodge--it's dark, moody, and elegant. It has a charming front patio that is made quaint by the high walls and an outdoor fountain separating you from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the bars in the area. Upon entering, you are transported into a dimly lit romance story. The Snug specializes in delightful cocktails that will wow your taste buds! Their menu is both seasonal and rotates regularly so it's a fun treat to swing by and find out what their currently making. One of my favorite recurring items is what they call a Hoosker Doo, which is often a spirit and amaro or apperitif. You can't go wrong with the Carribean Princess! Definitely consider Snug on your next date night or want something a bit different!

We were unable to sit at a table because they were all reserved, and a couple of the employees we encountered were not particularly friendly, so we ended up sitting at the bar. Our drink orders were taken and brought out, and we ordered a couple of appetizers. However, when it came time to order our entrees, my first choice was unavailable. My significant other was able to order what he wanted, and his food arrived fairly quickly. Unfortunately, I waited over 20 minutes for my meal, with no apology, no check-in from the staff, and very little acknowledgment that there was even an issue. What made the situation more frustrating was that the restaurant was not particularly busy, so the delay seemed unnecessary. When we finally brought it to their attention, the response was unapologetic, and the staff was not particularly polite or accommodating. Good customer service is about more than taking orders and bringing out food. It is also about communicating with customers, acknowledging delays, and showing basic courtesy when something goes wrong. We felt like we were simply left hanging, and the lack of concern made an already disappointing experience even worse. Overall, the service was extremely mediocre, and we left disappointed. I honestly don't know if I would return to this location. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because customers deserve better than to be left waiting without an explanation or even a simple apology.

But everything was great, as they provide what you need for a delicious meal. Ambiance- dark and cozy. They have an actual bar which is away from the grill for those choosing to imbibe and go. We got introduced to The Butterscotch Den by a couple of lawyers who evidently know the 'hood. Been a while since I've lived/worked in town so they are a great resource to fun places like this. Drinks are delicious. I ordered a couple different sauces to go with our large steak which we split. Even having split the steak, we brought some home. You cook your own so be okay with possibly not sitting the entire time. On the side of the grill are various accoutrements for your steak. Assorted flavored salts as well as regular salt and pepper were included with the experience. You could also order compound butter for a small fee but we didn't. Might want to try a much more budget friendly hot dog or even a sausage next time. Try it out for happy hour! Very friendly drink list.

My first time here I came just for drinks with a friend and I enjoyed it so I brought my family back to try them out for dinner. Service was painfully slow. I mean 20 minutes to get drinks in an empty restaurant. The bartender prioritized the patrons sitting at the bar versus the ones ordering from tables. I watched are new people were served at the bar while still waiting for our drinks. Which mind you was a beer, 2 sodas and a whiskey sour, so nothing crazy or time consuming. We ordered our food and it was delivered quickly, as one would assume since you're cooking it yourself. They did forget my shrimp but all good. The steak quality wasn't that great, 3 of the 4 steaks were tough and chewy. There is only one communal grill so keep an eye your food because someone tried taking my shrimp. It can also get full so you have sit around til you can find an empty spot on the grill for your food. Overall, I'd come back for happy hour cocktails but we'll skip the dinner service.
