I got an all veggie Bibimbap topped with soft tofu served in a stone bowl.

They were all amazing, never had anything like them. The main meal was amazing, the service was great and the pricing was just right. Will definitely return, 11/10 would recommend.

Can be busy since it is near Ranch Market 99, but we didn't have a wait. The food was amazing, and we had to get the Daeho Kalbijjim with the added cheese topping that they use a torch at your table to melt the cheese! We ordered the Japchae and the Seafood Pancake, it comes with a sauce, so delicious! The Banchan (sides) were also delicious, loved that each tasted different, sometimes you can't tell each side dish flavor but here you do. We went to a location in the South Bay, so we were so excited that there was a Concord location! If you want good comfort Korean food, eat here!! We will be back!

Ok so the first time I went here with my best friend we were starving so no pics. After the meal I…read moreregretted not taking pics because OMG the Kalbijjim was insanely delicious. So fast forward months later I took my cousin from Ohio here to eat korean food for the first time and the Kalbijjim was just as perfect as the first time. So that consistency of incredible flavor definitely deserves 5 stars. Now as for the place itself it is clean with enough space between tables and the lighting is perfect. Not dimly lit but not supermarket bright. Our waitress was really nice and did frequently come back to check on us. Overall this place is worth everyone visiting at least once. Now I will admit I have only tried the incredible Kalbijjim with short rib and oxtail but this dish alone is worth every dollar. Please add the cheese so they can roast it in front of you and you get the whole ambiance of the moment. I promise you won't be dissapointed.

We used to love this place and hadn't gone in a while. Today we ordered takeout and did not have…read morethe best experience. We didn't get the rice with the 2 meat dishes that I asked about when I ordered. I called back and person was very apologetic, which is something. The kimchi pancake had more zucchini than kimchi and was mushy and bland. The japchae had only minimal carrot and a few meat pieces but nothing else. This must have spinach to taste at all authentic. It was also bland. Overall one of the worst experiences I've had here. Very sad with our $90 worth of food. We will probably give them another try because maybe this was just one off.

Our server Mary was really great. She took the time to tell our 10yo about what to expect, and was always coming by the table to make sure we were happy. Grill changes were available super quickly and there's a great selection of meat. Our son also got some ice cream for his birthday, a very nice gesture from our awesome server Mary. If you're bringing little kids, KBBQ can be an expensive and intimidating experience, but I really recommend this place.

First time dining here. We were told a 10-20 minute wait, but ended up waiting longer than 20…read moreminutes. Lunch is $21.95 for AYCE Korean BBQ, which is a pretty reasonable price. There's a good variety of options--beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp--and you grill everything yourself. Some of the beef was good, and some didn't even need sauce. The banchan were minimal and mostly spicy, and overall didn't really feel like traditional Korean flavors. Drinks and desserts cost extra. We ordered around 8 different beef, chicken, and shrimp items, but the sides were hit or miss. The dwenjang soup was bland, japchae was also pretty tasteless, and the hotteok was tough. We also ordered edamame and never got it. Service was where things really fell short. It was hard to get a server's attention, and we had to keep waving. I asked for an extra bowl and it took a while. There was only one tong at first, so we had to ask for another. Same with getting a clean plate. To be fair, they did change the grill without us asking, but overall it felt like we had to keep asking for everything. We even mentioned it was our first time dining at the restaurant and asked for some guidance, but didn't really get any. The whole experience ended up feeling a bit exhausting instead of enjoyable. That said, for the price, the BBQ itself is decent and you get 2 hours to eat. I would come back mainly for the $21.95 lunch price, but not for the overall experience.

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.

This isn't a sit down restaurant- just a stall in the mall food court. Plenty of nearby seating. Also, the food is already prepared and you just pick from the hot food table. All in all it is a solid pick if you're craving fast Asian food while shopping!

Ok so I totally forgot to take photos of the food but we had plenty of it. We went at the end of…read morethe day for dinner and it's located in the food court of the mall. There are a lot of places to sit once you pick up your food. It's pretty loud since it's in the malls This place is cafeteria style, the food is all out for you to choose from. The person working was super friendly! I gave this place a 3 because the deep fried chicken and shrimp were overly cooked and extremely dry. The fried chicken was very thin. Didn't even think it had chicken inside. We ordered beef bulgogi which was very tender and filled with flavor. The fried red chicken had a lot of flavor but it felt like the ratio from meat to batter wasn't great. The rice cakes in chili was interesting... it tasted a bit like spaghettiOs... the texture of the dish was like a squishy tasting gnocchi. The japchae was filled with flavor. At first the texture threw me of but afterwards you are hit with great taste. The tofu was so good. For a place that's in the mall, it's ok. I was expecting more but it's a great if you want to share with others and try different restaurants in the food court.

Was looking for a good hot pot place, and was in the Concord area…read more So I'll start with what I didn't love, but I did think it was a great gimmick for the area. The music was way too loud, almost like a night club - where you have to practically raise your voice to talk. It's great for guys, where their voice projects, but it's more difficult for anyone that has a bit higher. There are no tongs (but they will give you extra chopsticks). Also, the individual induction units are right on the table, instead of inset. This causes the potential of hot soup base spilling as a more likely experience for clumsy people. For the thing I love about this place? First... value for money. $29.99 per person for all-you-can-eat hotpot? This is amazing in this age where an entree is like $25-30. Appetizers are ordered 2 at a time, and meats are 6 at a time. Meats only come one on a thin tray, which holds about 4-6 slices. So you'll be ordering other helpings, since there are I believe 5 beef selections, and a pork and chicken selection (7) total. The middle of the restaurant is a large bar where you get everything that isn't a meat. The selection of vegetables, and noodles are pretty vast, and almost always refilled. The seafood area has shrimp, clams, tilapia, and mussels. Sauces area also on the sides which makes it pretty much an on-going motion. It's not the high-end of hot pot by any means, but the ambience that they're projecting works for the area that it's in and how they compete with the rest of the restaurants in the area. But for the money? I'd go here. We did sit in a side-middle area where it wasn't a booth. However, they made sure to separate out the seating so that if you were a group of 3, they situated in opposite ends to create space. That attentiveness of spacing actually created a better atmosphere which was a small thing, but a smart thing. Love that they actually celebrate birthdays with banging of pots, and wishing well. It's something that is fun for groups and definitely nice if you happen to be celebrating a birthday! Definitely will come back.
