Holiday special
Erin R.

I am so excited about Mukgo and I can't wait to come back. The shop is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. The service is amazing. I didn't get the name of the woman who took our orders, but she was so kind. She gave us recommendations, helped us with the hot water dispenser, and was so pleasant to talk to. I love the idea of their packaged ramen system. Basically, you pick a packaged ramen from a wall and then you can make it with machines in the restaurant and add toppings like green onions and cilantro. I got lucky and came on the first day of their holiday special, so my soup was only 3.99. This is a great deal, but I'm not sure I would feel the same way if I had to pay the full price. I would love to see Mukgo expand their topping section to include things like sesame seeds, crispy onion or garlic, or even rice cakes. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Mukgo and I will be back!

a hidden gem in the SCV area (must try!) I will be coming back for the lunchboxes (includes miso soup, salad, tempura (light & crispy batter), rice, and protein of choice (I chose chicken). It was very hearty and a great value! they are currently having specials on certain rolls, so I totally recommend you add them onto your meal! I want to try their instant ramen machine--they have so many different types of ramen available. The machine is the one they use at the han river in Korea so it's cool to be experience that here locally in the SCV area. Great food, great ambiance & great service. Truly a great experience and I will be back :)

Found this place from my IG account and decided to try it today. Friendly service and Korean package ramen was pretty good. Wish they had Shin Black....which is my favorite. I had the regular Shin ramen, bowl of rice, and a mixed tempura. Mixed tempura was the BOMB! Best I've had in a long time!!!! Ordered Galbi bento, two mixed tempura and couple of sushi rolls togo for my family. Highly recommended!

My kids love ramen so we came by to check it out. They had so much fun picking thier packet from the wall, cooking it and adding the toppings. The staff was so friendly and accommodating! The kids picked a mild ramen and it was perfectly spicy. We got a couple sushi rolls that were also delicious. We will definitely be back!

I guess this is a decent. I enjoyed how unique it was in comparison to other places I've ate before, but truth be told I don't think I'd come back here to eat. For starters the ramen clearly has a cool style, you choose which ramen packet you want there's a poster that helps you know if you want spicy or non spicy ramen, after they give you a bowl that you add all your stuff to and place it in a ramen heating matching, there's a few toppings you're able to choose as well after free of extra charge. Right now before the ending of the year it's 50% off ramen but normal price is $6.59 something like that. Honestly the main reason I dined here is because my 7 & 4 year old though their concept was cool but would I pay that price for Japanese ramen I can find in H mart etc for less the price same exact thing? I do not think so. We also had their rolls and honestly their rice did not taste so well to me and the tuna/salmon did not contain the best quality. However their drinks I loved ! They have these two different drink options inside these clear plastic pouches that reminded me of an adult version Capri Sun and both drinks tasted amazing to me. They do not have a bathroom ? Apparently it is out of service and said we can go across the parking lot to use Starbucks restroom but who wants to do all that in the middle of your dine in experience when you have two young children that will require to use the restroom. I would imagine there being a sign already stating there isn't any restrooms available so you can determine whether or not you want to dine in since the start. As we were eating I also noticed they have a B grade vs an A which lead into my curiosity to see whether or not it's hygienic in their kitchen or not and I noticed how they had a mop up against their sink, and the head of the mop was entering where they wash dishes. So imagine the fact that after mopping the bathroom floors, the kitchen floors, the dining floors, etc., they place the mop against the same sink they used to wash the dishes that they used to prepare and make the food ? The lady who works in the front was very polite and helpful however, that's not enough to convince me to return. Hoping the business good luck !

Delicious and the owners are super nice and friendly. I enjoyed my dining experience here! It was peaceful and quiet! Good for solo diners or a quick stop for some sushi cravings! Yum!!

I could truly write a novel about how much I enjoy this restaurant. As someone who regularly comes…read morehere for sushi, I've had the opportunity to try different items on the menu throughout the years. I fully trust everything coming out of here will be high quality and delicious. When I say I have legitimately been begging Chef Tim for YEARS to offer an omakase experience, I truly mean YEARS. Well, it was a random Wednesday and I found myself wandering in for dinner. Because it was a little early (5:30pm), there were no other customers seated (toward 6:15pm it started getting busy though!) . I gladly took the opportunity to once again beg Chef Tim to do a makeshift omakase experience for my partner and I. I was overjoyed when he agreed since it was on the slower side. He knows our order, and is familiar with our taste preferences, so I completely trusted him. I was super excited to watch Chef Tim be in his element, allowing him to be creative and make something he wouldn't necessarily have time for on a busy day. His passion truly shines in his craft and I knew this was going to be quite an exciting experience. Chef Tim's makeshift omakase experience included: halibut with truffle oil, cripsy rice with toro and caviar, miso chilean sea bass, a trio of seared items including scallop, aburi toro and peppered salmon, Blue fin akami, salmon belly and yellowtail belly, a pickled radish roll with Bluefin tuna, salmon yellowtail, and avocado and the A5 wagyu with uni. He also made secret menu items such as deep fried scallops, maguro yamakake, and my newest favorite which was the "fish taco." The "Fish Taco" was a deep fried garlic red snapper over creamy spicy tuna. I really did enjoy each and every dish he selected for us. I couldn't even begin to rank them because they were all fresh, delicious, served at the perfect temperature and paired well with one another. He did a great job at spreading out raw with deep fried, for a great balance of flavors and textures. (I'm still wishing that he would offer an omakase experience one day - he absolutely killed it!). I was pleasantly surprised by the A5 Wagyu with uni, "Fish Taco" and the the seared trio. It's funny because if you were to ask me I'd say I LOVE raw fish, so the fact that these three stood out to me really surprised me. Another thing is, I would never gravitate toward beef at a sushi spot, but I was thoroughly impressed with how well the flavors infused together. I knew they offered it on their menu, and like I said before, I thoroughly trust them, so if I was going to go out of my element it would be here. Another thing that I wanted to mention was that you can special order a whole sushi cake! While we didn't pre order one today, we had it in the past and it's also one of my favorite items. It consists of salmon and ikura on top with rice, masago, and imitation crab inside. I'd much prefer this over a real cake any day! Overall if you've stayed with me for this long, then you can probably already tell that I'm the self proclaimed President of the Ananto fan club. I'm just really sorry to my partner's wallet because I keep adding more and more new foods we just HAVE to order every time we go ;).

I visited this place with my family for dinner over the weekend. When we parked in front, we…read morenoticed the restaurant was completely empty, which honestly made us hesitate to go in. However, since we were already there, we decided to give it a try. ​After getting seated, we ordered drinks and wrote down our sushi order on the paper provided. We also added a few appetizers and rolls. Even though there were no other customers, the food took quite a long time to come out. ​The most disappointing part was the service. Instead of placing the dishes on the table, the server just handed everything to me directly. I had to take every single plate and set it down on the table myself. I'm not sure if the server was untrained or just lazy, but my wife and I could only laugh at how absurd it was. ​To top it all off, the sushi we ordered at the very beginning never arrived, even after we had finished all our other food. It was clear they completely forgot about it, so we just asked for the check, paid, and left. This was our first time here, and we definitely won't be coming back.

And a quick search from Yelp reminded me that we were here last time! I guess they are still attractive. This place felt like it was run by the Vietnamese, as all hosts and servers spoke Vietnamese to each other. The menu is as extensive as before, 2 full pages of rolls! One page is the standard ones, like the Lion King, sumo rolls, 49er's, and the other page is their special rolls. Unlike last time that we tried a bunch of their special appetizers (and they are still the same on the menu), we tried the rolls and bento this time and I think I like that more. We ordered the Teena roll, the Gilbert roll, an order of salmon roe sushi, a side order of chicken fried rice, and a tempura bento. The rolls tasted good, soft and slightly chewy in the mouth with a blend of all the sashimi and crab meat and sticky Japanese rice. The tempura bento was sumptuous! It came with a bowl of miso soup, a bowl of white rice, 4 or 5 pieces of gyoza, a salad, cucumber, a pre-cut orange, and 8 or 9 pieces of tempura of a variety. My least favorite is probably the salmon roe sushi as I wish the roes look bigger and more orange-y. Service was great. Although we were told they were busy and we might have to wait a bit, food started to come in less than 5 minutes! We didn't get a water refill but the glass of water was big. Dirty dishes were taken away timely too. I've been abused by the Bay Area exorbitant prices for a long time, it was such a pleasure to see rolls priced at $15. So overall, it was a good dinner in town.
