    Beef Tofu Soup
    Love K.

    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.

    BBQ Eel (Unagi) Bimbibap

    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!

    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!!

    Great food for a cheap price. The Beef Tofu Soup is amazing and the dumplings are some of my favorite I've had.

    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.

I came with a couple of friends around 6PM on a Friday and barely made it before the dinner rush. As soon as we sat down, a large crowd started lining up to put their names on the waitlist. It's a small, casual restaurant with limited seating, but they turn tables over quickly. They've added tablets at each table where you can browse photos of the menu and place your order. They also leave a bottle of water at the table, so service is pretty minimal. The banchan arrived almost immediately after we ordered, followed shortly by our meals. The banchan is always fresh and flavorful, with each dish seasoned differently so every bite has a unique taste. We all ordered the beef tofu soup but customized it to our liking. I went with medium spice and added mandu (dumplings). The portion was huge and came with rice on the side. The medium spice actually had a good kick, unlike at some places where it's too mild. It was packed with tofu and tender beef, and I had enough leftovers for another meal. It was my first time adding mandu, which tasted good but out of place. I'll probably pass on that next time. This is my go-to spot to catch up with friends, and we always leave happy. If you're planning to come for dinner, get here early or be prepared to wait.

It's a good size restaurants with wooden tables and chairs and long bench along the wall. Order is by tablet at the table and multiple orders can be put thru at different times. This was convenient when some at the table needed more time to order while some were ready to eat. Banchan items came out as soon as food order was put in. I ordered the ramen tofu soup medium spicy, galbi, and the table ordered pork soft tofu soup and spicy pork bulgogi. Everything was good and spicy items were actually spicy. Plenty of rice too if your family need rice. The dishes were all very good and comforting. Lines and waiting times got long so get here near opening for dinner if you don't want to wait.

For the cold noodles, it was pretty refreshing and a bit light in flavor. It came in a icy vinegary broth with noodles, half a boiled egg, pickled daikon and some pieces of galbi (short rib). Also had option of adding more vinegar and/or mustard if you wanted. The noodles were chewy but that's how it is, recommend asking for some scissors to cut the noodles if it's hard to chew. For the spicy buckwheat cold noodles, it had much more flavor, had a gochujang base, and thicker. It came with half a boiled egg, pickled daikon and pieces of galbi.

We ordered the beef soup and the appetizer short ribs, which is about 6 pieces. The sides were good, special shout out to the warm jjapchae! The short ribs came out sizzling, and had a great char with a sweet soy sauce flavor. Meat was tender and had the perfect chew to it, such a comfort meal with the rice. The beef soup came boiling, and there was a generous amount of beef, mushrooms, and tofu. The only complaint I have is the soup ratio was less than what I'm used to so about halfway through the pot there wasn't much soup left to pour onto the rice the way I normally do. But that's not a bad thing, means you're getting more protein! Service was great, but it's a bit expensive from what I'm used to so I docked a star. I'll check out other places and see if this is just the normal pricing for the area.

It feels just like a warm hug in a bowl! Their cold noodles, both spicy and non-spicy versions, are refreshing and perfect for cooling down summer heat. We also almost always order the mo deum soo yook for extra protein. It's a combination plate with boiled beef brisket, tail, and tendons. You will have to season them yourself with salt and pepper, but beef is always so soft and tender. I highly recommend ordering this only if you're dining with a group of 3 or more because the portion is huge! After finishing your meal, they'll serve you a yakult, super yummy and great for digestion (super thoughtful of them) They're busy and almost always have a waitlist, especially during peak dinner hours. From my experience, the longest I've waited was about 45 minutes, but normally it's only around 20-30 minutes. There's a boba shop nearby where you can grab a drink while waiting. Overall, I have nothing to complain about with this place. Try it once and you'll understand why everyone loves it!

I was sweating, but it was very flavorful and I kept eating as the sweat dripped down my head. My friend ordered the chicken bibimbap, which SJ Omogari calls, "Chicken Ricebowl." That stone bowl was SUPER HOT! It was sizzling when served, and we could still see steam as she packed up her leftovers! My friend loved the crispy rice on the bottom. SJ Omogari is on the pricy side, but still worth it. Go!
