    Army base stew
    Esther F.

    There's nothing so satisfying and comforting as Korean army base stew. My friend and I were trying to share one but accidentally ordered two. I didn't mind the leftovers at all, especially since the leftovers allow the flavors to blend more and become richer and deeper. It had everything that should be in army base stew, even the cheese. Doesn't have beans which for me is a good thing. It's a good level of spice for most people, though I always want maximum burning your bootyhole spicy. The price is very reasonable for the lunch special also. Would definitely recommend and come back for it.

    Gimbap
    Mara K.

    It's been a minute since I last came to eat here. Food is still very good. Crispy delicious fried chicken that you can eat plain or with sauce! That crunch on that double fried chicken is ASMR heaven. Kimchi fried rice that smacks every time. The Gimbap isn't too special, it's like any other regular ones if you've had it before. This time we got free sides: salad (with like a mayo/mustard dressing) and kimchi, fishcakes, and bean sprouts. The Japchae is a bit on the greasier side and a tad bit salty but still tasty. I opted no meat. All this food with tip and all is about $100. Would definitely recommend and I'll be bringing my family next time!

    Kimchi kimbap
    Karmela G.

    We came here on a Saturday evening around 7 PM and it was lively in the best way-- full of energy and great smells. We ordered the kimchi kimbap, soft tofu soup, and the Korean fried pork katsu, which all came with a variety of tasty banchan. Everything was so good-- flavorful, comforting, and perfectly cooked. Even after we finished eating and paid, my fiancé and I stayed another 40 minutes just watching Game 7 of the World Series because the atmosphere felt so homey and relaxed. The guys working there were super friendly and chill, which made the whole experience even better. Can't wait to go back!!

    Delicious Bibimbap and Kimchi Fried Rice! Good portion size and prompt service. Catchy music and casual ambience. Friendly service as well. Lots of parking in the shopping center and fun asain food options. We will definitely come back to try Soju and more Kimchi Fried Rice!

    Katsu w/ House Curry Sauce / 카레까스

    My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant after being on a road trip. We got the Katsu Curry and the Soft Tofu Soup! The katsu chicken curry was SO good, great portions and the salad it came with was very refreshing! The Soft Tofu soup had came out with some rice and it hit the spot! The service was very quick, and the environment was super chill for a late night eatery! Would def come back for a night bite!

    Decent service and the food arrived fairly fast. We arrived at 8:45pm and I thought it was slowing down for dinner. I was wrong. People started piling in! It's now 9:40 pm and they're packed! Place is clean and comfortable. The portions are huge! Everything was delicious. We ordered: Fried chicken drums and wings - crispy, crunchy, juicy, and full of flavor! Bulgogi Plate - Beautifully plated. Beef was tender. Salad was good. Big Katsu Plate - Also beautifully plated. Nice and crispy. Not greasy. Japchae - big portion and was really good. Fries Definitely will come back.

    Bulgulgi lunch special
    Alfredo M.

    This is my second time coming here, I don't know why it took me so long to try this place but I really like it. Both times the service has been great and the food tasted really fresh. Got the bulgogi lunch special today and I didn't think it would come with so much food, I was full half way but I wanted to finish it. Also got one order of Kimbap which was also really fresh and refreshing. Will be trying their other items in the future.

    Lunch menu
    Juicke C.

    I haven't visit here in a long while. They had updated their lunch menu. So many choices. I stuck to my usual - Korean fried chicken. It comes with Cole slaw salad and pickled diced turnips. And I ordered the watermelon soda. The Cole slaw was plentiful with a drizzle of dressing. Still the wait for chicken was unusually long, extra salad was offered which I declined. When the chicken brought to my table they were hot and crispy and juicy. Although it was fine on its own, I'm so accustomed to sauce, I asked for some. Two sauces were brought over and comped. Sauces are an extra $1 and glaze would be $2. The sauces, garlic soy sauce and the other honey chili. Somehow, I had preferred the soy based sauce to my surprise. The chicken wings, drumlettes and drumsticks were fulfilling that I couldn't finish the remaining three full sized drumsticks. So they were packed for home with the soy garlic sauce. The service was friendly and attentive. Future visits are warranted.

    Army stew
    Michael D.

    I really enjoyed the Army Stew. Just the right amount of spice. Huge portion - about half went home with me. Others got spicy katsu. It was a little too spicy for some but all said they enjoyed it. They weren't very busy, and just one guy did front of house. That could have been a little faster, maybe, but food came out quickly, so good enough! Family dining feeling. Not fancy, but clean. Potential to get loud when full. Could stand a little more light- they looked closed from outside at noon. But these are all picky details. I'll be back, for sure. Maybe I'll split the stew with someone... 3 stars means solid performance. I only give more stars to upscale fine dining (and only when it's deserved).

    Spicy Korean ramen
    Tara L.

    My daughter has been wanting to try this place so we came for dinner after her appointment which is right across the clinic. I never knew there was a Korean spot next to where I used to work! My own fault only because I would frequent Lee's Sandwich whenever I worked in Dublin, but if I knew this spot was here, I would've been getting lunch from here, too! We came right at 5pm when they opened for dinner and we were the first customers. We ordered bulgogi kimbap, spicy Korean ramen with rice cake, and kimchi pancake. I especially enjoyed the rice cake in the ramen. It had a good bite to it. The kimchi pancake was good, but not the best. The outer edges were crispy but the center was too mushy. I enjoyed the bulgogi kimbap but I didn't care for the imitation crab. Service was friendly. I think the nice lady who served us was the owner.

    Cheese Pork Katsu w/ House Sauce / 치즈 돈까스
    Vanesa V.

    Okay so loved this place second time I've been there in a month so you know it was good! The staff there were really friendly and we got seated right away. The food was delicious! You have to try the corn cheese when you come. It was really chill and we didn't feel rushed at all while eating. Will be coming back to try more of their delicious food

    Cheese katsu
    Veerawan T.

    Korean restaurant located at Ulfert's Plaza. TVs, K-pop music playing, and they serve a variety of Korean dishes. Their wall decor had different street names and a huge picture of a city. The service was good. I definitely think the bar vibes are there when it's dinner time and they offer soju! We went around lunchtime on Sunday and there were 2 other tables inside. It was a bit slow but the two items we got were great. Dishes came with Korean sides - kimchi, fishcake, and beansprouts. I felt that they weren't particularly fresh. It seemed like it came out of a fridge because it was cold. Drums and Wings Combo A - 2 drums and 3 wings. We requested sauce on the side and got the soy garlic one. I wasn't a fan of the soy garlic sauce. It was on the sweeter side and couldn't taste much of the garlic. However, the crispiness of the chicken was there and the meat was tender. Cheese Pork Katsu - This one was strikingly good! A huge portion of the pork with salad (honey mayo dressing), a mini scoop of rice, a mini scoop of mac salad, and katsu sauce. The cheese inside the katsu was well made and everything went great together. Overall, I'd give it 3.5/5 but if you had to choose one thing from the menu, please try the cheese pork katsu.

It used to be you can only join where you come near the restaurant. It must be only for busy days like Mother's Day? There was a sheet offering specials for Mother's Day, cocktails, mocktails, a kurobuta pork belly and 2 desserts. We ordered our usual fare. Great service by Ariel, she handled everything as a pro, even with the crazy business. Food came out with no delay. The only change that we noticed id the teriyaki beef. The rib eye was usually so tender and juicy, everybody that we invited here were amazed how tender and great they were. Yes, we came here quite often, and brought every and all out of town guests here. But today they were tough, on the dry side, even though cooked Rare and MediumRare. All 3 steaks. So disappointed. We finished with the Biscoff cookie sundae, which they had for Valentine, a tempura fried ice cream dessert with crumbles of Biscoff cookies and caramel drizzles. So good. The room was busy with laughter and guests enjoying the food and company on this holiday.

The fried oysters were also a great size and came with two dipping sauces, which was a nice touch. The maze ramen was a big portion and even my toddler enjoyed it. The standout for me was the tempura ice cream--perfectly crisp with a thin, light shell. Service: Our server was friendly, efficient, and very accommodating. However, the host experience was frustrating. The Yelp waitlist wasn't working on a busy Friday night, which seemed to cause some disorganization. We were quoted a 25-minute wait for a party of three, but ended up waiting 45 minutes. During that time, multiple parties of three who arrived after us were seated first. When I checked in at 35 minutes, I was told we were "next," but that didn't seem to reflect what was happening. At 45 minutes, after checking again and explaining how long we'd been waiting, we were seated immediately. It was confusing and especially difficult with a hungry toddler. Parking: Parking can be tricky. The restaurant is located under an apartment complex with limited guest spots on the first floor of the garage. If it's full, you'll have to exit and find street parking (which is minimal) or park across Dublin Blvd and walk. Overall: This was close to a perfect experience. The food and server were great, but the disorganized wait and host interaction took away from it. Hopefully they improve their system for busy nights, especially if the Yelp waitlist goes down again.

The wait on a Friday night was a bit longer than expected than what was shown when we first joined the waitlist. Service here is fast though! We did get seated by the kitchen, so it was a bit hectic with staff constantly rushing behind us. We got the premium set and the meat quality was great. The vegetable platter that came with the set had a nice variety of fresh veggies. We ordered udon noodles but what we got was broken up pieces of frozen noodles that looked only to be half a serving. Other than that we still enjoyed our meal and were both stuffed. Personally I'd choose the Emeryville location over this one just because it's bigger and you're not sharing a table with other guests as much.

I have always had fond memories of this place, even with it being constantly packed and busy, and with limited seating. I finally had the chance to revisit recently, and brought my husband along. We went on a Sunday, so it was inevitably packed. The parking lot is as crusty as I remember, but that's part of what makes no-frills, hole-in-the-wall restaurants solid. The ambiance inside is loud and cramped, but we were here for the food. Service was decent, all the servers were so busy taking care of everyone, I can only imagine the chaos in the kitchen. And hands down did the food deliver. The price of everything was reasonable, and the flavors were delicious. I went with the dduk bulgogi while my husband went with the mixed soondubu (medium spicy). The banchan variety was splendid, and honestly I couldn't choose a favorite. I loved the creamy potato and corn mixture, since that was unique. Sometimes restaurants skimp on banchan portions, but not here. My dduk bulgogi was packed with veggies, rice cakes, tender beef, and glass noodles. The broth had a good depth of flavor, and was not oily or rich. My husband's mixed soondubu was also delightful. I had a quick sip of his broth and it had a lovely umami flavor. The spice level was perfect. We did both wonder, however, why his bowl didn't come out bubbling while mine did. Regardless, it was still steaming hot. Both portions of soup were served with rice, and we thoroughly enjoyed taking our time savoring each bite. I dumped the remainder of my rice into the broth at the very end and that was the perfect way to end our meal. We are almost never in Hayward, since we generally frequent other parts of the bay, but I would definitely return and try some other dishes next time. Everyone always orders the seafood pancake (and a ton of people were when we went and it looked so good). Of course if I had enough stomach space, I would have ordered that too. Well that just means I have to go back, haha. All in all, don't let the location or exterior fool you. The food is solid and The Sister House is definitely one of my favorite Korean spots in the bay.
