Pho Sam is located on San Ramon Valley Blvd. in the Twin Canyon Shopping Center (across from the…read moreold Crow Canyon Cinema). There are a lot of delicious options here. My favorite is the Vietnamese Pancake, which is filled with shrimp, chicken bean sprouts, onions, and comes with lettuce and fish sauce. Sometimes I order the Vermicelli Noodle grilled combo, filled with pork and shrimp and comes with a crispy roll. Other times I order the special combo, which includes beef noodle soup and two crispy rolls. The noodles are thick and the broth is homemade and very good. Oh, and I always get the fresh coconut juice! The food is served quickly and is consistently high quality. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. I believe this to be the best Vietnamese restaurant in the San Ramon area.

K-Bob is easily five stars. If you want solid Korean food that feels like an experience, you have…read moreto visit K-Bob. The restaurant has a fast-food-style setup that honestly reminded me of somewhere you'd grab a quick meal in Seoul. You order from a kiosk, and there's really only one person you interact with when your food is delivered to the table. It's casual, efficient, and very easy. And the portions are HUGE. K-Bob somehow combines an Asian/Korean-style atmosphere with very American-sized portions. They also have Korean sodas, which was a fun addition. I highly recommend the grape soda. It tastes like carbonated grape juice, and it's delicious. If you're looking for Korean food that's casual, filling, and a little different from the typical sit-down restaurant experience, K-Bob is absolutely worth a visit.

It is hard to choose what was the highlight of my experience, whether it was the amazing customer service, the giant portions of food, or the clean and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. I don't know their names, but every employee has always been accommodating and friendly when I first walk in, when I wait for my food, and when I leave. Although their BBQ chicken does taste dry and rubbery like past reviews have said (the only negative I could think of that needs some work), everything else tastes SO good. Crispy and juicy katsu chicken, and out of the spam musubis I've tried, I love the egg and spam musubi the best. And the best thing about the food? Their cold and savory mac salads and complimentary teriyaki sauce. i always have to get a lot of mac salad when I eat at a Hawaiian restaurant, and this place makes some salivating mac salad that's perfect for a uncomfortably hot summer day. I mix the teriyaki sauce into the rice and mac salad, and that really enhances the mac salad's flavor. What tells me is a good sign of a successful restaurant is that there's always customers inside either eating or waiting for their food. I hope this L&L location stays open for years, and I hope I keep coming back for years!

I saw a long line in front of a nondescript green truck and saw "BBQ" from a distant. I didn't realize it was Ariang until I got a bit closer to the front. I ordered the Kimchi tacos (2 for $10). Its a bit of a misnomer since they load the tortilla tacos with piles of marinated, juicy beef and chicken, lots of lettuce with dressing, and a few pieces of kimchi. This is something you absolutely need to eat with a fork, since I can barely see the tortillas. I liked the meats but think this dish is too close to a salad. I expected to get some spicy-tart from the kimchi, but they seemed overwhelmed by the salad dressing which tends to be sweeter. Overall not bad - maybe 3 stars. I think I liked the offerings from Koja Kitchen a bit more.

Many of their meals come with a choice of milk tea or lemon tea. My favorite was the milk tea which has a lot of evaporated milk. The lemon tea was also interesting, much more lemon and tart than I expected. I also tried one of their baked rice with chicken steak dishes. Very hearty and delicious. With a bit of wok hay in the fried rice. If you just want a small snack, I recommend trying some of their smaller sandwiches or buns. The sandwiches are mostly bread, but the bread is delicious! They also have a wide assortment of yummy buns that I recommend checking out. They have a buy 5 get one deal on their buns. If you order a couple chicken and rice dishes, allow 15 mins for the food preparation. It'll be worth it.

It's in a strip mall area with a bunch of different businesses and restaurants. Both times we went it was pretty full but we were able to get seated right away. The tofu soups are good sized, flavorful and come out piping hot off the stove. The banchan/side dishes are great. I really enjoyed the BBQ rib (beef short rib) stonepot bibimbop. If you let it sit for a while the rice crisps at the bottom in the way that new school rice cookers don't anymore. Portion sizes are good relative to the price, the food came out quickly and the service was friendly. In an area with a lot of different food options, we enjoyed this place enough to go twice in one week.

I won't get the seafood pancake next time, will stick with my usual tofu pot soup. Service was fine. No side dish fish when you don't order an entree, I didn't get one. Only my boys got the side dish fish this time, the fish was a bit more soggy too this time as I was informed. I am wondering if we got a batch that was left out for awhile like the seafood pancake. We came on a Th night around 6pm. My experience this time was not good as I had a stomachache after eating here and had to go use the restroom after leaving. Let's just say my tummy did not like what I ate. I suspect it was the seafood pancake. Stick with the tofu pot.
