beef Short Rib Bowl
Evan W.

Overall this was a pretty good Koja Kitchen location, especially as a food court spot - I've had some misses a lot in the past with food court spots. The short rib bowl was pretty good, with decent serving sizes - the meat was a little too sweet for my liking though. The chicken salad was amazing though - the option isn't on their signs or online, but if you go through the kiosk, you can customize a salad. We got a southwest style salad with fried chicken (other options are smoked chicken, grilled chicken etc) I've never heard of koja serving non asian salads before! Anyhow, good food court option! Everything is self serve, you order through a kiosk and pick up the order. There's a food court area to eat your food which can be a bit loud or you can go to the balcony.

Was in valley fair and craving some Korean food, and Koja was the closest thing I could find. It's a fast food chain that specializes in Korean fusion! It was a busy wait in line and for the food, as it was on a Sunday afternoon during peak lunch hours. It took about a 15 minute wait overall for our order come in of fries and tacos. The fries tasted frozen and could have been cooked more. Flavor was there, but the heat was not... The tacos looked appetizing, but the meat wasn't too flavorful, just lots of sauce on the tacos itself which made it overwhelming. Would come here again but would order different items...

We got the pulled pork burger and the bulgogi burger. The pork one had a mayo sauce w arugula that was so good and the crispy rice patties were perfectly crunchy and chewy. The bulgogi was a bit too sweet and didn't taste like traditional bulgogi at all... just sweet meat... but still ok. Both were pretty overpriced so not sure if I would get again but the staff was nice and the food came out quick

Veggie Zen Bowl + fried egg
Ruchi J.

Honestly the veggie zen bowl + fried egg was pretty good! Definitely surpassed expectations. The soy/mushroom patty that is the meat substitute in this dish was very moist and had great umami flavor! The bowl came with a lot of rice but half of the rice was soaked in soy/teriyaki sauce + egg yolk so it was delicious. Good option that left me feeling full and also feeling like I made a healthy choice, which is always great!

Whenever I'm craving for a different taste, something that will lift my mood, I always go to Koja Kitchen. I usually order their tacos. But today I tried their Koja. I like their Korean twist on Tacos. Zen Taco is my favorite, paired with their crosscut fries. Today I finally tried their Koja rice bun. It's not my favorite texture-wise. But it's something different to try. This will remain one of my dependable go-to at the Valley Fair Food Court. The chicken meat was tasty and flavorful. It's a little bit spicy.

Good food at the mall when you're craving some nice bbq spare ribs and rice. Good portions and very fresh tasting. Not overly saucy and made to order.

Bulgogi Bun Burger
Sheena M.

Inside valley fair mall food court. I wish this was better! I got the classic bulgogi burger. The meat was pretty good, little over done but flavor was great. Still chewable and juicy. Lettuce got a bit wilted from heat of everything. The "buns" are made of crispy rice!! It looked so good. But the rice was hard and difficult to eat. Such a bummer. The concept is cool. I would be willing to try a bowl version next time. The service to order was quick and friendly. Food took a bit. But they were busy

Line was short. Ordering was easy, in person or online. Food came out quickly. Staff very friendly.

Veggie bowl with portobello mushroom soy patty
Laura C.

My boyfriend and I were across the street enjoying the Winchester Mystery house and were so hungry we decided to go to the mall across the street to find food. The line for Joeys restaurant was two hour wait so we went to the food court which I don't usually do, but I came across Kohl's kitchen and the food on the menu looked interesting to me. I ordered the veggie rice bowl with soy bean mushroom patty and was very pleased by the taste. There are never many vegan options, this was pure luck and so flavorful. I asked to not have the egg on my bowl to keep it vegan. The restaurant looked very clean and I felt healthier eating their food over any other in that food court, kind staff working too.

First time to put my yelp review but we have tried their food several times.This time we ordered the original koja,love the rice bun,it has a different crisp compared to regular bun,korean bbq boneless short ribs is so good delicious,just a right combination of sweetness and a little sourness from the vinaigrette ,one order is big enough for me and hubby.

Beef Bowl
Hesperian C.

Another one of the Asian food spots I go to at Valley Fair mall. Koja kitchen is Korean Japanese fusion food. Simple and delicious. I usually just get a beef bowl. It has beef and rice with veggies and kimchee. Good for a light lunch. Good thing about this place is the line doesn't get too long like some of the other places in the food court. Usually only 1 or 2 people in line whenever I go there. So you can get there food right away without too much of a wait. Highly recommend.

Chicken Rice Bowl
Prasiddha H.

Had a chance to try Koja Kitchen yesterday at the Valley Fair mall and this was actually really yummy. This is located in the food court and if you are looking for burgers, fries or bowls this is a good place for you. This is a Korean Fusion inspired restaurant so if you are looking for that kind of food, you have found your place! For our order we got: * Chicken rice bowl: this was really good, it came with rice, juicy pieces of chicken (loved the marination), kimchi and salad. Overall it was really good and enjoyed every bite of this! * Fries (pulled pork ones) - I forgot the name but I always enjoy the coconut pulled pork and the sauce this comes with. This was very flavorful. Overall, my husband and I really enjoyed both dishes and would go back again!

Chose to eat here while we were at the mall. There was no real wait and the food was ready pretty fast. The portions are on the smaller side. The musubi was meh, I'd pass. The umami fries were decent. The short rib bowl had an odd flavor and texture? Wouldn't pick this with some many other options in the future but it was fine for lunch.

Kamikaze fries sounded so promising. There was no flavor and the kimchi and chili sauce had no spice. I won't be ordering that again.

I timed it and it took 1 hour 5 mins to get seated. I appreciate their efficient process. They hand out a paper menu and a pen to fill out customizations on ramen preference along with figuring out how many people are per party. We got seated at a shared table. It's a bit crowded in the restaurant since it's so small. I do want them to expand so there's more space. I got the red king with kakuni pork and an egg. I love adding the side of bean sprouts as well. I got level 7 and felt like it wasn't that spicy :o I definitely want to try level 9 next time!

I still remember the first time I had it -- the broth was rich, creamy, and full of depth, and the pork tasted fresh, tender, and flavorful. Now it just feels inconsistent and careless. This bowl looked amazing visually with the spicy red broth and presentation, but the flavor just wasn't there. The soup tasted oily more than rich, and the depth of flavor that made Nagi famous felt missing. Even the pork and toppings didn't hit the same anymore. Maybe the chef changed or quality control got weaker, but it definitely doesn't taste like the Nagi I used to love.

IS. DELICIOUS! The first time I had Leichi, I wanted to go back the week after because it was that good. Service (with reservation) is always on point and food comes out quick. The waiters are welcoming and open to answering any questions. My favorites are the tempura octopus, homemade tofu, cold duck soba, black cod, hojicha panna cotta, and assorted sushi. They ship their fish from Japan, so it's always high quality and fresh. The sashimi is literally melt in your mouth. The housemade tofu is fresh and has the rich soy flavor. My boyfriend isn't a big tofu guy, but even he loved it. The black cod is cooked with sake and a must try! Their ginger ale is housemade with their ginger syrup. I'm always grabbing two cups whenever I go! The hojicha panna cotta is rich, creamy, and always a great end to any meal.

Nothing was off, but nothing really stood out either. The sashimi was fresh and the grilled fish was cooked well, though the flavors and presentation didn't quite leave a lasting impression. It felt like everything played it a bit safe. Service was the highlight. Our server was attentive, checked in at the right moments, and made sure everything was taken care of without being intrusive. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for a quiet, easy meal, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for just yet.
