Great lunch spot near DVC!…read more Korean Soul Chicken is located in a small strip mall adjacent to the Chevron at the corner of Contra Costa Blvd and Golf Club Road. It occupies the space next to El Tapatio. My friend and fellow Elite David A. and I tried this spot out for lunch on 01/30/2024. It was quiet when we walked in at around 12:30pm. There was a couple just finishing up their meal. The interior was clean but somewhat dark. We were promptly greeted by the owner. She was a bit hard to understand due to a language barrier, but nonetheless friendly. The menu was easy to navigate, and ordering was done at the counter. We each got a lunch plate (BBQ chicken $10.95 and spicy pork bulgogi $11.95) and an order of vegetable kimbap ($6.95) to share. The total, with T/T, was about $38. In today's crazy economy, it's not bad at all. Our food was ready in about 10 minutes and the owner brought it out to us. The vegetable kimbap was very good. It was tasty and just the right amount of sesame oil was used. The lunch plates were served with rice and salad. The BBQ chicken and spicy pork bulgogi were both moist and flavorful. Portions were quite generous. We were full and satisfied at the end of the meal. To sum it up, this is a great place for a quick and delicious lunch that won't break your bank. If you are looking for a lunch spot in Pleasant Hill, keep this place in mind. 5 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Ample parking on site. - Major credit cards accepted. - Dinner plates range from $14 to 17.50. - They serve Korean fried chicken and alcohol.

We also got the bulgogi and it was hot and sizzling, and so much of it! Have to remember to come back again soon.

The jjajangmyun was ok, not spectacular. The sweet and sour pork was very good - perfectly light and crunchy, and the dipping sauce was spot on. The kimbop tasted good but was giant. Never had such wide kimbop, so much so that the larger end pieces were almost impossible to eat in one bite. I didn't it, but it wasn't pretty. I would rather have regular sized kimbop but more pieces (same resulting amount of food). Service was good and fast. They have a variety of soju - we had the apple flavored. If you are craving the food in k-dramas, this is the place.

We ordered the K2 (chicken breasts) & K3 (lamb) - both with double kabobs, plus the chicken pizza. Wasn't expecting the meat to be so tender, juicy & full of flavor (their sauces were great too). And the prices wasn't too bad either! Next time, we're trying to chicken sandwiches!

Nothing extravagant, but very clean. A 3/5 for ambiance because it was basic. The service was a bit strange. We ordered over the phone using the menu online but when we asked for a K5 (the chicken wrap) the person taking the order had no idea what we were talking about so we had to go back to the menu to find the actual name, and that was inconvenient. Also, there was no one up front when walking in and my partner had to call out multiple times before anyone responded. Service gets a 2.8/5 as it was just below my minimum requirements for service. We got a chicken wrap with fries x2, dal with rice and lamb kabobs (not pictured). The wraps were perfect, chicken crispy and juicy, and the coleslaw adds a light crunch into the mix, this gets a 5/5. The lamb was tender, juicy, and very well seasoned. The texture was dense, but not chewy, and would have also been bomb inside the wrap, the lamb gets a 5/5. The dal was spicy, and served with a large chili and fire roasted tomatoes. I'm a big fan of lentils and curry, so this was an easy choice. The fragrance of the saffron rice with the lentils reminded me of comfort food on a rainy afternoon. I give this a 5/5. Overall, the food is great but the service could be better. I give this eatery a 4.2/5

At 12:30pm, at the height of lunch time, there were only 2 customers in the restaurant. I was greeted by a pleasant lady who led me to my table. I ordered their lunch special Kunpao Chicken that came with hot and sour soup, a small tasty egg roll and steamed rice. The Serving was generous and the chicken was delicious! The soup wasn't too sour, authentic but not overpowering which I liked. After my meal, I had enough delicious leftover for dinner. There were just 3 customers, including myself, the whole time I was there. It's sad because the place looks nice and clean, and the food was great. Give this place a try and I promise you won't be disappointed.

They offered to replace when they saw her trying to catch her breath. She can usually do the hot stuff. So we both ended up with salt and pepper fish for $16 each. It was fine, not great. I imagine I won't be back.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and full of character. The décor blends modern style with traditional Thai touches, creating a comfortable yet vibrant dining space. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish we tried was packed with bold, authentic flavors and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The balance of sweet, spicy, sour, and savory was spot on. The Pad Thai was one of the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked noodles with just the right amount of tang and richness. The Tom Yum soup was incredibly flavorful, with a deep, aromatic broth that had the perfect kick of spice. We also ordered a curry dish that was rich, creamy, and full of depth--easily a standout. What really made the experience even better was the service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They took the time to explain dishes and offer recommendations, which made us feel well taken care of throughout the meal. The presentation of the food was also impressive--each dish looked as good as it tasted. It's clear that a lot of care and passion goes into everything they serve. Overall, Saneh Bangkok is a must-visit if you're looking for authentic Thai food in a great atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just visiting Thailand, this restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience. I'll definitely be coming back!

I had made a reservation because I didn't know how crowded the place could get especially on Mother's Day but glad I did. The food was amazing and tasted great. It had been a while since I had eaten Thai food but coming here definitely reminded me of how much I missed it. I ordered the red curry chicken with a side of Jasmin rice. This was my first time trying red curry as I usually order yellow curry. I do have to mention that it was spicier than I thought and definitely made me have a runny nose but nothing I couldn't handle lol. The fried chicken wings were also amazing and definitely loved the crunchiness to it. It was cooked really through and I enjoyed that. Everything had just enough spices to really enjoy the food. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Thai food near Pleasant Hill.

Seating was abundant for us, so we sat towards the back because we were a party of 8. Ordering is per person (as oppose to family style), so it was simple to know what you order is what you will have enough for one person. I opted for the kimchi soft tofu soup with brown rice. Kimchi Soft Tofu Soup: This was a rather spicy and tasty dish. The soft tofu soaked in the flavors of the soup as it basked in it. The kimchi was also delicious as well. Though I found the soup a bit sour, but that is probably due to the fermentation of the kimchi. Also, this dish came with the usual assortment of bon chon, so that was delicious as well. Overall, I had a nice experience here. The server was attentive and helpful and I look forward to coming back here again
