Not only does the parking lot get busy during lunch, so does this restaurant. Come early if you can! My co-workers and I have been here a couple of times now for Tofu Soup. This restaurant does it a little differently than others as they put thinly sliced vegetables into the soup that brings out a nice crunch. The one con (-2 stars) is that they are not generous with their tofu and their meat. I asked for no egg in my beef tofu soup and could hardly spot any protein. The tofu is soft and delicious but gone in a few bites; I'm left with just the soup. If they could fix that issue, it's a 5-star for me.
First time here and it did not disappoint. Super close to our hotel, easy self-service, and our server was really friendly. The food came out fast and everything was tasty. Really chill, casual spot--would definitely come back.
Good value for lunch. I got a bulgogi bibimbap and it was decent. Would come back to try tofu soup which I saw a lot of people ate. It's in a crowded Plaza by subway, with a bunch of other eateries so might be hard to find parking around lunchtime.
Korean House is a small restaurant that's been around for nearly 18 years nothing fancy or elaborate more of a cozy friendly a place to dine-in even though seating is quite limited for a large party or two. Menu selection is extensive rice bowls, poke, ramen, tofu soup and much more. I came by on a Thursday morning right before the lunch crowd caved in. I chose the beef bibimbap rice bowl with mixed veggies, rice and egg, along with a bowl of beef bulgogi kimchi rice bowl and Thai iced coffee. Generous portions and the prices are far cheaper than some of the high end Korean restaurants. No need for refill they have it set up where you can serve yourself a glass of water without asking. First off when placing an order they will give you a pager once it lights up it's ready for pickup. You can pay by cash or credit/debit card. Would definitely be back best to come by early on the weekday rather on the weekends tend be very busy.
We were craving quick Korean food and Korean House happened to be in the area. We came during lunchtime Saturday and the restaurant wasn't super busy. It has a small but clean interior. Just looking at the menu, the prices were superrrr cheap compared to other Korean restaurants. The guy working there was friendly and told us this was a family owned restaurant. We got some kimchee rice bowls take out and a small japchae. Everything total ended up only being $33. The rice bowls were really good for the price! They were packed and pretty filling, I couldn't even finish my portion. The japchae was flavorful but a tad saucy and the noodles were just a bit too soft for our liking. Overall though, hella good place with even better prices. I will definitely be coming back. Support small businesses!!
Ordered from here for a team lunch and had it delivered to our site. I got the BBQ eel (unagi) bibimbap -- the piece of unagi was a good size + it was moist and tasty! I was expecting some more veggies but it didn't seem like very much. The team ordered japchae to share but it was a little bland so that's what I actually ended up using some of my bibimbap sauce for lol. If we were to order to-go from here again, I'd get the unagi rice plate since the rice plates look like they had more veggies (more specifically, a salad) included in them!
Fat wallet eats. They haven't raised prices much, so it's still very good tasting and affordable for Korean foods in the area. Korea House never disappoints. Credit cards accept for foods. They always open on time. I used to come here for lunch regularly when working nearby. Convenient little spot with huge parking lot next to Homewood Suites hotel. Low key spot. People usually order takeouts during weekdays. Not crowded on Sundays. Bank of America is just across the street. Staffs are always nice and great to work with when placing orders at the front counter. Yes, you can dine inside and put away your own tray afterwards. Pour your own water. They even have little cute gifts inside now. $2-$40 gift price range (cash only). Small restaurants like this one always make me want to come back again. Tofu stews, bibimbaps, rice plates/bento boxes, poke salad bowls, etc. Their fried eggs are absolutely delicious here. They have great menu selections. It's not a huge place, but can accommodate a good number of customers inside. Happy experiences each time. Food is always good. I still think this place should expand or move into a larger restaurant space. Overall, good choice conveniently located not far from San Jose airport too. It's pretty original here.
Came across this new hole the wall spot while on my lunch and you would be amazed of what they sold here. Usually Korean tofu soup would go around 18 almost 20 bucks nowadays but what really caught my eye was how much cheaper this place was. For $13-14 you'll find a great steal here, and they load their soup with a ton of protein and ingredients. I ordered myself a seafood tofu soup and it was simply delicious. This is a family own restaurant as well, support your local businesses! I will definitely be back to try other items because they have other items for an unbeatable price.
I saw this more than a few times, when I'm in North SJ, going down N First St., and towards The Market Place Mall, and I knew I had to do it. Today I'm in Silicon Valley. I'm here at the Korean House (T&T fusion). And I knew exactly what I wanted. This is a Beef Sundubu-jjigae Kimchi tofu Stew Soup 순두부찌개. I haven't had this in a long time, and it was so warm, comforting to my Soul, the tofu was so silky, it arrived scorching hot, and had the right amount of Heat. Just what I needed, in my life right now. And they ran out of the Korean Pancakes Yachaejeon 야채전, so I got a Japchae 잡채 instead. Some of the people working here are good people, very accommodating. Now I'm used to the Japchae with the Fish Cake Eomuk 어묵 or chả cá, but this Veggie version is still very good. I can tell they took their time to Stir-fry the Bean Thread Noodles, it was flavorful, and the Sesame oil was a good touch. And the Kimchi 김치 was Spicy, it was prepared somewhat differently than others out there, it had a floral note to it, fragrant, and it hit. I was thinking this was going to be a 3.9-4.3 stars, but I give this 4.3 stars out of 5 stars.
Tried out their bulgogi beef burrito for lunch, food was alright. There was a lot of veggies in the burrito, wish there could be a bit more of the bulgogi for balance. It is a small shop with some interior seating, seemed like most people do take out here. They have a wide selection of foods on menu to choose from.

A small Korean restaurant next to a hotel which limited parking. We came here for dinner on Friday night and it was empty. I think this restaurant is for catering or mostly to go orders for the hotel next door since it only had 22 seats inside the restaurant. It is a fusion Korean Sushi restaurant that had sushi roll and poke. Once you order from the menu display on the wall, you pay and they will bring out the foods once it is ready. We order the grilled chicken bibimbap, grill short rib bibimbap and unagi bibimbap which all decent. The grilled chicken and unagi bibimbap comes with one fried egg, cucumber, rashes and seaweed salad. The salmon roll was below average as the roll was not that great in flavors and assemble. The large poke bowl with 4 topping was okay. Overall, it is a fusion Korean to go restaurant so don't expect any kind of services or best quality here. The price is reasonable for the portion. read more
Wanted to cater Korean food and stumbled upon this location. Came by to try it out before committing to catering. Their food is hearty, service is quick, and the server/owner/manager is extremely accommodating and kind! It's not 10 Butchers quality, but it's such a cozy spot to come grab lunch. If I were in the area, I'd come to this place regularly for lunch or a quick dinner! The galbi side portion was actually very decently sized! The pieces were well-seasoned, and still had a bit of fat (I like that). The bulgogi was also well-seasoned, and the salad, edamame, and plain rice help balance the saltiness and soy-fulness of the meat. Fried chicken was a surprise! It's not seasoned, like at all, but it's so crispy, tender, and juicy. It offsets the more heavily-marinated dishes and provides a "cleaner" taste. An absolutely pleasant surprise was the little trinkets that are sold by the cash register!! It's high quality wood, and if you're a fan of Ghibli, there were so many Ghibli items!! Such a hidden gem. Will update again after catering experience is completed, but I already have high expectations! read more
Excellent food, and welcoming patrons. Self service and casual place. If you are looking for authentic warm and comforting meal, go nowhere else. Everything I have tried so far is delicious. Vegetarian/vegan friendly. There are plenty of options to cater to various dietary needs. True to the roots, pocket friendly and scrumptious. I am down to visit them any day everyday. And the location is perfect for quick lunch outings. If you haven't tried them already, you are missing out. read more

This place was my saving grace when I visited Sunnyvale on my business trip the other week! I was staying at the Homewood Hilton right next door and was so exhausted after my work days that I didn't want to drive anywhere for dinner so I just walked on over two nights in a row. First night, I got the Spicy Pork Bibambop and it was delicious! It had a good spice to it and the egg was the perfect texture to be that binding agent between all the other ingredients in the bibambop. The second night, I got the Korean Pancake. It was good, but not the best I've had. The texture was a little floury, but it was a sizable portion and the sauce that comes with was really good as well. The thai tea was also pretty good. I loved that I was able to find good food and also be able to support a mom and pop shop. The staff was very nice and hospitable, and the food came out decently quick. The indoor area had some dining space, but I'm not sure if it's currently being utilized due to COVID. Also, the staff did all wear masks! Would definitely recommending trying Korean House out! read more

AHHHH!!! Hidden gem of the Silicon Valley. My fiancé decided to let me try this place out. I'm all for small businesses and I definitely love Korean food. I'm into fusion places so when I hear kimchi roll.. I was sold. It reminded me of the old MoGo BBQ Food Truck. The bulgogi beef kimchi roll was almost like the short rib burrito i used to order when mogo was around. Its a bit pricey, but guess what... SMALL BUSINESSES NEED YOUR HELP. I'm all for it. I'd come back to try the seafood pancake and just explore the menu. The tofu soup looks delicious too. The food is cooked so well and very fresh. The veggies were crunchy and so much flavor. I can't wait to try the other menu items. Maybe I'll try spicy pork next time. Mmmm yummy read more
There used to be a place called Mojo's that made Korean fusion burritos. They eventually went out of business and ever since, I've been trying to find a place comparable. The search has ended. They are called kim-chee rolls here, but it's pretty much a burrito and man it's good. Almost as good as Mojo's. A bit more spicy and they don't have short rib as a meat option, but still pretty damn favorable. I will easily come here again. I just finished my burrito and I want another. That's how good it was. read more

It's good for a quick bite if you are in a hurry. The bad: Ordered a spicy pork kimchi burrito. The burrito looked huge, but there was not enough pork in it, and the pork was not spicy at all. The good: 1. The sauce in the rice was tasty. That made me keep on eating it. 2. The staff were very friendly. Soda is free for refill. Some Korean food trucks I've had definitely have better spicy pork burritos. I will be back to try out other items. read more

I've only ordered their food for delivery and have not stepped foot in the place .. like ever. Their soft tofu soup .... is delicious. Ever since one of my favorite korean restaurant in SJ closed down, I had to resort to going to SF to get good soft tofu soup. Their bulgogi beef burrito is pretty huge. Way too much for one person to eat alone. Its not bad either. read more

I am honestly not sure why there is so little love for T&T Fusion. Ordered there for the first time today, and the food was just excellent: We got some rice with unagi (eel), a spicy pork bibimbap, a beef wrap, pot-stickers, noodles, and the fried banana. Everything was top notch. I especially loved the Bibimbap and the wrap. They were just out of this world. Every bite... heaven. I ordered through Fantuan, which worked out great. Will definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend! read more
New fusion spot with so many food options. They got ramen, sushi, poki bowl, and so much more. I decided to try some poke and some fries chicken wings. It was pretty good with affordable price. There are so many choices for your poki. You can get some kimchi, bulgogi, and other korean treats in your bowl. You can flood your bowl with so many additions like i did. The taste was so unique and i feel you would like it if you like japanese and korean flavors. The chicken wings are deep fried on the spot. I could hear the oil crackling in the background and it made me so hungry. The wings were potentially double breaded and had a SUPER crunch to them. A little bit on the salty side. I thought the buffalo sauce that came with it didn't fit, but each to their own. This place only has 1 person cooking/taking all the orders so give this place a lot of love. read more

My workplace caters from t&t every once in a while. I wish they catered more often! I usually get the vegetarian tofu bibimbap, no onion, no garlic and it's one of the best options. Taste and spice is always solid. Just wish it was a little larger in portion. read more
