    Manduguk
    Kristen B.

    This is probably one of my favorite Korean spots I've tried in Fremont. First of all, the pajeon was genuinely the one of the best vegetable pancakes I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside, still soft on the inside, and just really well balanced. It had that pan seared flavor to it. I would come back for that alone. I judge a place heavily by their banchan, and this place's banchan was GOOD. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and I dug right in. For my main, I got the manduguk (dumpling soup), which was exactly what I wanted - super comforting, homey, and still really flavorful. The egg mixed into the broth gave it a bit of an egg drop soup vibe, which I loved, and the seaweed and green onion were the perfect additions without overpowering anything. Service was kind and the atmosphere was really nice - very uncrowded and relaxed on a weekday. Overall, this felt like one of those reliable, feel-good spots. Just solid, comforting food done well. I'll definitely be back!

    Spicy pork lunch box
    Leanne C.

    My husband and I came here around 12 pm on a Thursday and it was surprisingly busy. We appeared to come in right as other parties had ordered. There was a little bit of a wait for us to get our food but they seemed to move pretty quickly after that wave. We ordered the kalbi lunch box, spicy pork lunch box, and the seafood pancake. The seafood pancake was top tier and perfectly crispy on the outside while fluffy on the inside. We really enjoyed the lunch boxes as well. The meats had great flavor and felt like a good deal around $18 each. We were both unable to finish our boxes, probably since we kept eating the pancake, and were able to take home about half of each one. Highly recommend the galbi. The spicy pork was also really good and had a nice grilled flavor on the meat. If you get the lunch boxes, banchan is included in the box and is not refillable. We will definitely be back here. I have my eye on the sundubu combos as well as the naengmyeon combos that are available in the summer only.

    Food: one word, AMAZING. From banchan to tofu soup, everything tasted like I had in Korea. The flavors are spot on and portion is good. Their bibimpap is highly recommended! Service: one of the warmest I've had in Bay Area for sure. The guy was very welcoming, attentive and helpful! Makes the overall dining experience better. Ambiance: I love how the name of the restaurant and "delicious" in Korean is corresponded. Overall it's casual but I hope the kitchen vacuum is better so we don't get too stuffed by the smell.

    We went here for lunch on a rainy day. It felt so good to have tofu hot pot soup. They had a lunch menu with good selections and prices , but no tofu hot pot soup. So we ordered from the regular menu . Each order came with 6 side dishes and they were refillable . We enjoyed the side dishes as much as the main meal . We asked for two rounds of refills . If you order the lunch menu item then you don't get any refills on the side dishes . The tofu broths were very tasty with seafood inside ( squid, clams and shrimps ) . One of us ordered the beef tofu hot pot soup, mild . We tried the hot soup before and it was too spicy for us . Good quality of food . Great service and a big parking lot just outside the front door. I usually tried to arrive at the restaurant by 11:30 am or else the tables could be all taken and I would need to wait for the next round . Miga restaurant has been in Fremont for many years . It is one of the classic and authentic Korean restaurants. Love to come here from time to time .

    Side dishes are ready but they won't bring it out until the main dishes are ready to serve

    I used to think Miga Korean Restaurant was a hidden gem for our family. We have been regular customers for quite some time, usually visiting during busy dinner hours. Because of that, we always understood that food and side dish refills might take a bit longer, which felt reasonable given how crowded it gets. However, I recently had a very different experience during a weekday lunch when I dined alone. The restaurant was empty, and I was the only customer there. I noticed that rice and side dishes were already prepared at the counter, but they were not brought out until the main dish was ready. While I understand that some Korean restaurants manage side dishes carefully since they are included with the meal, it still felt unnecessarily restrictive. What stood out more was that after finishing my initial side dishes, I was not offered any refills. Even when I tried to get attention, it felt like I was being overlooked. If side dishes are limited to one serving, it would be much better to communicate that clearly instead of leaving customers guessing. Another thing that felt off was the sudden attentiveness when I was ready to pay. The service became noticeably more responsive at that point, which did not feel genuine. I still appreciate the restaurant for what it used to be for us, but this experience during a quiet lunch left a disappointing impression. I hope they can improve consistency in service and communication moving forward

    I love finding a good hole in the wall and Miga is exactly that: tucked away in the side of a plaza, super delicious and authentic. The service was great. The food was fire and the lunch special prices are so affordable! About ~$18 for the spicy pork combo that I got, and it was enough food to take home leftovers! Seafood pancake was huge too. Loved it and will definitely come back

    Been wanting to try for a while now & saw its good reviews on beli. Came in on a busy Friday & there was plenty of parking and server was very friendly and nice. I'm a huge fan of Korean food and saw the good reviews so we ordered a seafood pajeon + spicy squid. We waited over 20 minutes for our food and got the seafood pancake and the bigger pieces were almost liquidy/raw from the mixture on the inside. Thankfully the server took it back and cooked it a bit more. The flavor on the spicy squid was amazing and very tasty and all of the side dishes were great quality as well. Just had to wave down the workers for waters/napkins bc it was so hectic. Think we just came on a busy/off day. The workers were all super kind and there was one server running around the busy restaurant. Would like to try again in future

    dumpling tofu soup
    Irena S.

    Came here yesterday for lunch with a friend, party of 2, and really enjoyed the meal! I got the bulgogi and tofu soup combo with the dumpling tofu soup, and we also shared a korean seafood pancake appetizer. They also serve Korean side dishes like kimchi, fishcakes, veggies, etc. Total was around $54 per person, but I had a ton of leftovers that was like 2 more meals for me. So you can definitely just order 1 dish and feel pretty full. Pros: - Delicious food, exactly what you would expect. No surprises, you come for good reliable Korean food and that's exactly what you will get. - Very kind servers who kept our hot waters refilled and checked in enough times - Decent sitting space, I would say this place is best for parties of 2-4 - Easy parking lot out front - The tofu soup has spiciness levels, the "medium" is like shin ramen so I got mild. The tofu soup was my favorite and it hit the spot. - LOVE that they give you a full egg to dump into your tofu soup! Eggs are expensive these days Cons: - Bulgogi was a little dry, but still delicious.

    5.  Pan Fried Seafood Pancake
    Ester L.

    Food here is so good, perfect portions and decent price as well. I remember that their seafood soup was ok, seafood pancake is pretty good but wish it was more crispy, and soon tofu was really good. Came again yesterday and my soon tofu was wayyyyyy too salty. Banchan is pretty good and you can get seconds, I just thought the kimchi was too sour. Rice texture is really good, galbi flavor and char is great (just overpriced imo) We waited 30 mins for banchan to come out before food even came, we ordered about 40 minutes after opening. You have to ask for things like more napkins but the utensils are available on the table. The ambiance is more of a family or friends kind of place, and it fills up within two hours of opening here (on holidays)

    5. Pan Fried Seafood Pancake
    Lea A.

    First time trying this place and the food tasted authentic. My dad and I tried the seafood pancake and the spicy beef tofu soup combo with galbi. It was enough for 2 people for a late lunch! The side dishes are my favorite part whenever I eat Korean food. They gave around 8 different ban chan and each was 10/10. They seemed to only have 2 people working on the floor but they were fast to accommodate the early dinner rush.

    Wow might just be one of my new favorite Korean spots in Fremont! The food here was truly the definitely of comfort. From the EXCELLENT banchan, spicy beef ramen, extra spicy seafood tofu soup, soybean stew, and grilled mackerel, everything was perfect! The spicy beef ramen was probably my favorite item. So simple yet so good! Beef flavor shines through and is complimented by the spice. The extra spicy seafood tofu soup has tons of seafood, and I loved how well the savory soybean stew and mackerel went together. I have no complaints about the food! Price wise, this place is pretty expensive for the portions. But the quality is there and the service is also really great. Place feels homey and comfortable. Can't wait to be back soon!

    When I crave Korean food and want to be close to home.., this is my go to place. I'd say this is almost a hole in the wall since it's behind a wall (not visible from the street and not advertised) and who would know this place existed? (Heard about this place through my mama.) TIPS// - Come here during lunch! Yes, there may be a wait/rush, but if you order from the lunch menu, you get the best bang for your buck; not only financially but emotionally (through experiencing different flavors). FOOD// (All food was ordered from the lunch menu. All side dishes are the same. And NO you cannot ask for more banchan...) Galbi - MUST GET as at any Korean restaurant - it's still slightly raw (I would say medium rare but realistically nearly rare?) but the marinate and flavors really seeped through Spicy bulgogi - I've tried the spicy pork which was a tad dry to me and I thought beef would be better but ended up with a ton of burnt pieces and therefore bitter aftertaste - 100% tastes as if the spicy is solely from gochujang Mackerel - I was craving fish - my cousin previously ordered this and shared it with me so I knew it was going to be dry... and this round it was still dry - HOWEVER, it was a wonderful break from the heavy and meaty dishes - solely flavored by salt POT OF TEA// - this is $1.99 - tastes like Japanese rice tea AMBIENCE// - lots of nearby workers and returning customers - food does come out VERY SLOWLY so expect a wait - bustling but folks chilling and conversing - a very small establishment and almost feels like a tight squeeze SERVICE// - I love how it feels like a family ran business - attentive but highly unlikely will come around and ask how you are doing or if you need anything LOCATION// - within the dollar tree, mega mart, big 5 plaza... - plentiful free and uncomplicated parking WHY NOT 5 STARS?// - I predict this happens for dinner but I wished they served the meat on the hot plates during lunch - small portions for galbi during lunch... only exactly 6 pieces... - it is really really really slow (as banchan is likely already prepared and refrigerated and rice is likely already cooked whereas salad is salad...) - their salad dressing is very very very light... I wish there was more tang or more refreshing undertones to help cut through the grease - from my experience, you literally have to wave down the servers for anything - it is strange that there is a bench utilized solely for DoorDash, to go orders, etc and thus, they have signs out stating DO NOT SIT HERE but people sit on it anyways... I'd expect them to have a rack or something for the to go orders while letting people chill on the benches as they themselves are about to spend money at this establishment? (I understand this restaurant is quite small.) - tea is $1.99; seriously? Will I come back? Heck yeah! Reminds me of home and I truly appreciate the homey vibe.

    This is my new favorite Korean restaurant in the Fremont area and I can't believe that I haven't tried Miga until now. Miga is the coziest Korean restaurant I've been to and has such a mom and pop vibe. The restaurant itself is dated, but that doesn't matter since tantalizing smells hit your nose as you open the door. Seating is limited, so be aware if you come during peak times. I arrived before the lunch rush on a Saturday but was also dining solo, so I was seated promptly. There were also plenty of Korean grandmas that started arriving in the middle of my meal, so that's how you know this place is legit. I was feeling a bit under the weather, so I beelined towards the tofu soup section of the menu. I was immediately drawn to the assorted tofu soup (#6), since it came with a good variety of meat. I did still take a look at the rest of the menu and took a few mental notes about what dishes I would like to try next when I returned. Everything was quite affordably priced, especially for Korean food in the Bay Area. I didn't have to wait long for my banchan and boiling tofu soup to arrive to my table. The soup was so bubbly that some of it was spilling over the sides of the hot stone bowl, which I love seeing. I was also very pleasantly surprised by the amount of banchan that I received, especially since I was dining alone. I quickly added my raw egg to my tofu soup to cook and started to dig in to my banchan. All the ingredients were so fresh and flavorful! As I went through my steaming bowl of tofu soup, I was surprised by how much meat there was. For the price of the tofu soup, I'm used to a decent amount of meat/seafood, but this was the most amount of meat & seafood that I've ever received in a tofu soup. And they still managed to pack a good amount of tofu in my bowl too! Needless to say I was very happy with my choice for lunch. The flavors were also on point (I got medium spicy but could have gone with spicy) and so comforting. I was hungry that afternoon, so I cleared every little plate of banchan and finished my tofu soup and rice bowl, but it was definitely a filling lunch. I am extremely pleased with my first experience at Miga and can't wait to take my husband there the next time we are in Fremont. I would highly recommend Miga for anyone looking for a comforting meal with good service!

However, it was a lot tastier when I paired each bite with some of their kimchi. The meat was thinly sliced and quite tender also. For $22, the meal was just okay to me. Can't speak much about the service and ambience because I did takeout. I'd like to come again to try everything fresh on the spot.

The restaurant is not ayce which is actually what we were looking for. Sometimes you just want to order different stuff without subject yourself to overeating.

The combo 1 has a bbq galbi (LA galbi), a bbq dish (with chicken, pork and bulgogi), tofu soup and a cheesy corn dish. None of them are bad per se but the amount of food doesn't feel like a good enough deal for the price. The combo is a better deal than ordering the dish individually but the the amount of galbi is just too little. The same is true for the spicy squid dish, just too few pieces to justify the price. The tofu soup doesn't come with an egg. Banchan however has a good number of varieties. This is also the only Korean restaurant I know that charges $3 for a bowl of rice. The service is good and the place is larger than expected. There are bbq tables but I don't think those have been used for a while. The location is the tiny plaza where the main focus is the McDonald's. There is however a fairly popular coffee place next door.

    This place has been on my list to try for awhile, so I finally tried it out for lunch after a hike…read more After seeing pics I wanted to try the crack chicken bowl, but it's no longer in the menu. Fortunately there was a gentleman who'd been there often and gave me a couple suggestions. I got the salmon sandwich and it was SOO good! Juicy and crunchy and flavorful. And all for a very decent price. I'll have to try bulgogi roll next time. FYI, there's no tables inside, just a counter to it's primarily to go.

    When my friend lived in Fremont, he recommended Rice Junky to me as an affordable option for food,…read morebut I was living on the Peninsula side so coming to Fremont was a lot of effort. Fast forward years later and now I'm on the East Bay side and Rice Junky is no longer a memory of the past. Located in a small plaza, parking can be somewhat tough since the lot is small and the laundromat gets plenty of foot traffic, but it's free. The inside is decently sized although there's no space for you to sit and enjoy your food inside and outside. There's a tablet at the register for you to submit your order. I opted for their ham and cheese isaac toast and an egg salad sandwich. I appreciate the food being made fresh and the workers were efficient, but the isaac toast had one slice of ham and A LOT of cabbage, both fried in a puck and non-fried. The egg salad sandwich looked good, but didn't have much flavor to rave about. Overall, yes, the food is made fresh for you and it's a decent option to have if you're in the area, but it wouldn't be my first pick for a quick meal.

    I have a huge regret that I hadn't written a review for Pocha K before because I have loved them…read moreand so sad to see them go! They are down to their final days with their closure on 02/15/2026, I went to have a last meal with them :( I always recommended this place to all my friends for some K-fried chicken with soju and a cool ambiance. The restaurant is decorated very cool also but I've never posted pictures because my camera doesn't take great pictures in the lighting lol. My favorite things to get were the Pocha K chicken and the rose tteok bokki. Their chicken is consistently very crispy and the sweet savory sauce is soo yummm.

    Fun vibes for a night out with friends! Everything is shareable, and they have larger sized tables…read morefor big groups. There's fun decor and photobooth inside as well! Here's what I got on my recent visit: + Boneless Korean Fried Chicken (5/5): So crispy, juicy, and saucy! I loooove eating this with the cabbage. Best thing here for sure. Expensive... but fun for a night out! + Cheese Tonkatsu Pork Cutlet (4/5): Crispy and very cheesy! Tasty, but a little small for the portion to be honest. Considering the price, I was expecting more. + Pocha Rose Tteokbokki (3/5): Nothing special. On the spicier side, so I wish it was more creamy. Rice cakes were a little too firm for me too. I wouldn't order it again. + Kimbap (4/5): Solid and made fresh! Good ingredients. These are not very durable though. They would start falling apart at just the touch of them.
