As a Korean, I'd say this is a pretty decent Korean restaurant. I got the bibim naengmyeon and yukgaejang. The banchan were solid, and I liked that they checked in to see if we needed refills. They also gave us a salad on the house, which I appreciated. The yukgaejang was good, and the bibim naengmyeon was also satisfying. Overall a solid spot if you're craving Korean food. read more

Ondam - Spicy cold noodle - Korean Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I ordered the bulgogi gimbap, spicy beef soup, and beef belly sot bap, and everything was absolutely delicious. This was my second time visiting, and both experiences have been consistently great. I genuinely enjoyed every dish we tried and would happily order them all again. There are still so many items on the menu I want to explore, so I'm definitely looking forward to coming back. The space itself is super cute and aesthetic, which makes the overall experience even better. Service has been great each time I've visited, and I also appreciate that they stay open late, it's perfect for a late-night dinner. read more

We came here around 5:30 pm on a Friday and had to wait around 15 minutes for a table. Once we were seated, we were given menus but tbh they weren't needed because you're ordering on a iPad (with pictures) anyway. For 2 people, we ordered 3 dishes and had enough left over for a whole other meal. All the dishes were delicious. The tteokbokki sauce was spicy and flavorful and the rice cakes were very chewy and bouncy. The kalguksu was very seafood forward and feels very homey. The bulgogi was tender and flavorful. Overall a very good dinner and will def come back to try some other dishes as well. read more

Abalone sotbal - 4/10. Only a couple of pieces of abalone Oyster bossam- 5/10. Personally did not like the oyster. The normal pork bossam much better read more

I have been here twice now and the food is one of our favorite places here! I called prior to see if I can make a reservation for a party of 6, but they actually don't take reservations especially for dinner time. Came around 6 pm on a Friday and the wait time was 25 minutes for our party. Not too bad at all. We got quite a bit of items to share like galbi jim and bossam (our favorite). Definitely think any menu item is worth a try. Service is attentive and nice! They checked in and refilled water often. Also I didn't mention it was my husband's birthday but we sang him happy birthday and the staff came out with decorated choco pies with a candle. So so sweet! Thank you for the great experience, we'll be back soon! read more

Service can be a bit faster and better. Might be one of the better tasting galbi jims I've had compared to to Socal! Personal preference but didn't care so much for the banchans, more fresh then pickled. Bossam was very moist and tasteful as well and came with all the condiments. Clean and nice ambiance. read more

Came here with a party of 5 on a Sunday night around 6pm. It was about a 15 minute wait. They took orders on tablets and food actually came out really fast. We ordered the cheesy corn, the Galbi Jjim and the Seafood Jeongol. In our opinion, the cheesy corn was too cheesy (oh, the irony). The other two dishes were both flavorful and delicious. The banchans however were just meh. Not especially good but also not bad. read more

Ondam is a special Korean dining experience in Santa Clara- the interior is nice and has a modern, upscale aesthetic that feels elevated. The food is overall, pretty good- and the quality of ingredients shows, especially in the banchan. I'd come back for the spicy marinated crab and bring friends and family here to enjoy the interior. - Kimbap: Bland and forgettable. The one dish I'd skip. - Kalguksu: Comforting and well-executed, nothing to complain about. - Spicy Marinated Crab: The star of the meal. Absolutely incredible and reason alone to come back. MUST ORDER! - Banchan -- Noticeably higher quality than most avg Korean spots. read more

Their Bossam got me going like (On)DAMMM... No, but for real that rose pickled radish and the presentation was just beautiful. Ondam is definitely a place you'd go to for a nice dinner with coworkers, friends, or on a date. From the entrance with the heavy wooden doors, lamps, and clean wooden tables, the modern interior really makes up for that upscale vibe. You even order from the tablet and banchan with waters are served upon seating. We got really lucky on a Saturday mid afternoon to be seated with no wait, so I'd recommend coming before that dinner rush. We came to share the Bossam at around $40, which is a decent price. Great amount of Napa cabbage and sides (garlic cloves, pickled radish, jalapeños) for 2 people to make us full. I will say the slice of pork was a little more on the thicker side, so it was a tiny bit tough and not as tender as I expected it to be. Love the fact that it comes with purple rice though. I also enjoyed how fresh their banchan was, especially their fish tofu like it was perfectly marinated! Their kimchi is also more on the mild side with that classic sour & spicy taste at the end. There was a looot of radish, which I had no trouble eating. Really nice and solid Korean spot. I'd definitely come back again and it's a great area to be in with all the boba / dessert spots nearby! read more

Came as a party of 10 on a Friday night at 7pm. The wait was for an hour so not too bad considering we had a larger party. Once we were seated they gave us the whole left section right at the entrance. Ordering was easy as they have iPads and the servers were super nice and accommodating. We ordered a lot of food and some of it isn't pictured. But the meal with seasonal bonchon was so good! It was such a yummy balanced meal. I really much enjoyed it since I guess we had so many dishes to pass around and try in a big group: - Spicy Pork - Seafood Kalguksu - Spicy Squid - La Kalbi - Seafood Pancake - Fried Chicken Platter - Kimbap - Bossam They even accommodated and put our friend's birthday cake on a cute platter :) such a great place! read more

Came here for a late Wednesday dinner. The space is clean and has a classy, upscale feel. It's quiet. Food-wise, we got three dishes. The tteokbokki was average, the rice cakes and quail eggs were good, but the fish cakes were way too fishy for my taste. The kimchi pancake was solid. Good flavor, and it really shined dipped in the sauce from the side dishes. The yubu gimbap was nice, it tasted exactly like it should, great flavor all around. The side dishes across the board were excellent. One thing that bugged me: the self-serve tablet ordering. It kills the dining experience, especially somewhere that feels this nice. Even basic things like water and utensils took multiple requests and a long wait. The staff themselves were kind and professional, just hard to flag down when everything runs through a screen. read more

Honestly for how insanely busy this place gets, the service is quite good and efficient! I was surprised we got seated with our group of 6 on a weekday night in the exact quoted time by the hostess - 25 minutes. Seafood pancake was our favorite, bossam was ok, also enjoyed the banchan dishes and would be back to try more! The interior is nice and bright, although it gets a bit loud so definitely more of a social lively atmosphere; and is great for a family/friends gathering. read more

Finally checked off this spot in my bookmarks after living in it for a while and it was worth trying once! Would I come back? Possibly. 3.5 stars. The place itself was cute and modern and the line for the lunch rush went fast. My cousin and I were craving raw marinated crab and came here since the original place we planned for wasn't open. Banchan was delicious, I thought it was off to a yummy start! Rose tteobokki was also heavy with the cream and bacon flavor - it tasted a bit hmmm Americanized? Still really enjoyed this though! There was so much buzz on social media about their chicken platter and not sure if it's bc I have a high standard for chicken or for my wallet... I'll say it was okay. $28 for boneless chicken that was a bit dry, I think I'll pass despite how nice it looks on screen. Their spicy raw marinated crab was on the smaller side and although it had a tasty flavor profile, there wasn't any noticeable spice. If anything, it was actually sweet and maybe I'm just used to the savoriness from other spots I've tried and liked. Service fell flat as well, our server didn't check in with us and eating raw marinated crab was messy with only one napkin til the bill came... Could've been an off day in general since there's many raving reviews. read more

I went tried, true, and boring with a bimbimbap. It was delicious and a humongo serving as a second meal- breakfast the next am. My friend got kalguksu which I had never heard of. The noodles were hand made, soft, and melted in your mouth. The broth was quite tasty. Not a fan of the roe and fish intestines. However I'll tolerate it for the quality of food, banchan, and the banchan refills. I do wish they'd replace the Mac n cheese banchan with either oshinko or pickled cucumbers. Yum. I dislike the iPads for ordering and food the service a bit impersonal. It's a cozy, comfy place even with luxurious bathrooms. read more

I've always wanted to try this place, but after dining here, it didn't really live up to the hype. There was a bit of a wait since I didn't make a reservation and all the tables were full. People were constantly coming in, which made me think the food would be really good. I ordered the seafood pancake and the batter was mushy and not as crispy compared to other places, so you get sick of it real quick. The japchae was good, but it's more on the wet side. The spicy pork was not spicy at all, and it came with SO MUCH OIL. It was pretty shocking to see that the whole platter was literally drenched in oil, like soupy oil. Seafood tofu soup was alright. Nothing special. Both of the drinks that I got were good. I got blue mountain with alcohol and it tasted like a blue raspberry jolly rancher. I also got the orange tango without alcohol, and it was also yummy. Side dishes were not bad. I like the tofu strips and the kimchi. read more

Ondam is a great spot for consistent Korean food, and huge plus they are open late! Most meals here are later in the evening. First time going, we ordered: corn cheese $11.99 steak sot bap $31.99 seolleongtang $20.99 seafood pancake $20.99 I would avoid the steak sot bap. Steak was not good and lacked flavor, but the rice is really good! Since going, our usual is the seolleongtang and tofu stew. I do think their seolleongtang could use more meat. The sides are relatively consistent. The beef tofu soup comes with the sot bap rice which is really tasty! Definitely can be busy during peak hours. Parking in the lot available. read more

I loved my experience at Ondam!! I was fortunate to have an ordering tablet, so I didn't have any issues with service in that regard. I felt that I got the side dishes the second I sat down, so again, super fast/convenient service. For the food, I got a few dishes: Rose Tteokbokki, Bulgogi Gimbap, and the tray of fried chicken. The food was heavenly, and I still had leftovers even though I was a party of two! All the dishes were as described in the menu, and the photos were accurate from the tablet/menu. The space was a bit crowded due to the amount of people and tables, so definitely not a place to go to if you wanted a quiet dinner. Overall, would come again! read more

This place is casual but slightly more upscale than your typical Korean spot. You order from an iPad, which is convenient, and service was smooth overall. The seafood pancake was thicker and a bit mushy for my taste since I prefer it crispy. The mushroom sundubu tofu soup was the standout. Really flavorful broth, and adding the egg on top made it even better. Rice is ordered separately, which is fine. We also tried a cold noodle soup, but the noodles were disappointing. They were more like regular vermicelli and lacked the chewy, bouncy texture I usually expect from Korean cold noodles. The galbi was solid and not overly sweet, which I liked. read more

Always excited to try new Korean spots!! Usually it seems like there is a bit of a wait and they only take reservations if the party is greater than 5, so we went for an early dinner around 430pm on a Monday and we were the only ones there! A few parties trickled in after. So if you want to try Ondam and not wait an hour, come in on an off hour! Such a clean space. Everything from the tables to the chairs.. utensils and bowls so clean. Makes me want to eat! Between two, we shared the beef tofu soup, kimchi mandoo, and galbi tang. The galbi tang was a lot bigger than we were expecting but it was so reviving. Tasted like it's been stewing for hours. The beef tofu soup was also really good and had a generous amount of tofu and beef! What fell short for us was the mandoo. They are HUGE by the way. Just in case you were wondering why it might be a little pricey. It fell short for us because the filling wasn't very flavorful and almost tasted bland. We were hoping for a more pungent kimchi taste! Nonetheless, everything else was super good and I will definitely be back with a bigger group so we can try some of the more special dishes! read more

Food was honestly some of the best pocha-style Korean food I've had in the Bay -- everything we ordered was delicious and hit the spot. Would probably give this a 4 or 5... That said, the front desk experience really put a damper on the night. The hostess was rude and pretty disrespectful. She gave away our table because one person in our party hadn't arrived yet, and then continued glaring at me throughout the evening, which felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. I'd still consider coming back for the food alone, but I really hope they improve the front-of-house service -- or at least don't let me deal with the same hostess again . read more

We went early so there was no wait around 5-6pm. It's a decently small shop but decorated very well. Kimchi pancake 7/10 a little bit bland and salty I think try the seafood one instead.. still crispy and thin though Corn cheese 7/10 average nothing special about it Bossam 9/10 I think this is one of the best things to order on the menu. It comes with burnt rice as well. The pork is tender and the flavor is very good Rose tteokbokki 8/10 it's good I wish it was a little more spicy though. Came with fish cake, egg, sausage Raw crab 8/10 around 7 pieces of crab and comes with rice. So good not fishy at all. Kalbi tang 9/10 a little salty but good with rice. The beef is very tender and falls off the bone. The noodles are chewy and good as well. Overall would come again I liked it. read more

Clean restaurant and delicious Korean food! What we ordered: ( more than enough for 2 people) Seafood pancake was extra crispy. Not a lot of seafood but the pancake itself was delicious! 8/10 The seafood kalgaksu knife cut noodles were great. Broth was very rich and portions were filling. The noodles could have been a bit less soggy. 7.5/10 The Mandu was stunning. Hefty and meaty with the perfect skin!! 8/10 The bibimbap was pretty standard, but we still enjoyed the crispy rice on the bottom with the Bulgogi. Service was really quick and the side dishes were also a plus. read more

This was my second time dining here. I was able to join the yelp waitlist on my way here and got seated right away when we arrived. My boyfriend got the steak sot bap, and it was honestly mid. The steak was dry, chewy and extremely bland. I got the beef brisket sot bap and it was pretty good! I like that the sot bap is paired with a seaweed soup. We also got a seafood pancake to share. I would say the pancake was pretty fluffy. We had a good dinner overall. read more

The food is absolutely amazing, one of the best Korean places I ever ate at. It's pricy, but had good portions and worth the money. Tje ambiance is modern, clean, and classy. They are very busy, even on Sunday evening. We did get a table for 6 fairly quickly. Food came really fast after ordering. There was minimum interaction with staff. No one came to check or refill water until the meal was almost done. They were in a hurry to turn over the table, even when it seems not busy anymore. Will come back for food. read more

Probably one of my favorite Korea establishments as of recent! They have a huge offering of foods and everything is so delicious! The hanok style interior is such a vibe and cozy. A few favorites here include the Royal Court Tteokbokki, Tteokbokki Kimbap, Oyster and Pork Bossam. Would pass on the cocktails and the spicy marinated crab here. The portions are super generous and everything is flavorful without being overly salty or spicy. Solid banchan here as well. Food comes out pretty quickly and fresh from the kitchen, haven't had issues feeling like food was sitting out too long. Price is actually pretty good for quality of food and in general for Korean food in the area. Always leave here with a little take out box! A few gripes would have to be the long wait and the terribly limited parking lot. read more

Wow, this spread really felt like a mini Thanksgiving feast--super generous and nicely put together. We tried the raw marinated crab for the first time, which I've always been curious about but a little hesitant to order because of the whole raw seafood thing. That said, Ondam has a clean, slightly upscale feel that made it easy to go for it. The crab ended up being the highlight. The meat was delicate, naturally sweet with a light savory/briny flavor, and had that soft, almost buttery texture that just melts. It felt really well-balanced and not overpowering. The bossam was also a standout. It's tender, flavorful, and a great contrast to the lighter crab dish. Overall, everything felt thoughtfully prepared without being too heavy. This is a really solid Korean spot that feels just a bit elevated from your typical go-to. I'd definitely come back. Plus, the area is great--lots of boba and dessert spots nearby, so it's easy to turn it into a full night out. read more

Heard that this place was "fire." Indeed burned my tongue on the piping hot tea brought to the table (proceed with caution). First time having bossam and it was delightful!!! The pork was well-seasoned, warm, and encircled by accompaniments (esp pickled radish!!) that made for a fulfilling yet light meal. Each of the six banchan were actually very tasty! Rare for me to like all the banchan at a Korean restaurant. The only dish I didn't love was the seafood pancake. Although it had a fair amount of squid, oyster, and shrimp, the pancake batter itself was a bit bland and the soy sauce for dipping didn't do a great job adding depth of flavor. Service was very speedy and polite! Loved the decor as well - the soft wood arches plus fake screen windows at each table were gorjus. read more

I went to Ondam with my family on a Sunday night and we had a great time! When we walked in, we called for a table for five and they started to set up an area immediately. I love how they already started to decorate for Christmas too---it was so festive! We ordered on an iPad, and the food came out some time after. The Kimchi fried rice was flavorful, though a bit oily but my family did not mind. I loved the galbi, it was tender and not too fatty. I wished they gave more! The kimbap this time was unfortunately a miss, we got the bulgogi one and the cheese one, but both were not flavorful and disappointing. Service, however, was top tier, and I am glad I tried a new place! read more

Not the best, not the worst. 3.5 stars but rounded down because it's simply not worth the price or wait. I came with a group of 4 and the wait was about 25 minutes on a Friday night. I ordered seafood pancake, tofu soup, kimbapp. My friends added their own tofu soup and beef soup, plus 3 soju bottles. The kimbapp was good. Unfortunately the seafood pancake was kind of soggy and bland. There was like no seafood. The tofu soup should have been great but it was just SO SALTY. The saltiest tofu soup I've ever had. Service is friendly but when it's busy it's near impossible to flag anyone down. Total damage with tax and tip: $196.80. I like Kunjip in Mountain View better. Some people complain about the price and wait time but it's worth it. read more

3/15/25 My husband and I met up with another couple at Ondam for dinner. It's located in a small plaza that has a small parking lot. My friend told us we should all be there by 5pm since it's a very popular Korean restaurant. We got there by 5:10pm. Since the other couple was not here yet, the restaurant would not seat us until our whole party was there. After my friend and her boyfriend arrived, we waited an additional 10 to 15 minutes for a table to be ready for us. All the ordering is primarily done on the tablet at your table. This is what we got to share: - seafood pancake - kimchi mandoo - spicy marinated raw crab - tteobokki - bulgogi gimbap My friend and her boyfriend had ordered some drinks for themselves as well. We waited perhaps 10 minutes before all the dishes started coming out. Of all the dishes we ordered the raw crab was my least favorite. It was pretty spicy and also slimy and messy since the meat is still in the crab shell. The seafood pancake was stuffed full with seafood. The pancake itself was slightly crunchy on the outside and cooked to perfection. The kimchi mandoo were fairly large and super delicious. The tteobokki thankfully wasn't too spicy and was cooked well also, not too chewy and not hard. The gimbap was super yummy, kinda wish I had that entire roll to myself haha. Overall the food was great (minus the raw crab for me personally). Very authentic, delicious Korean food. read more

OnDAM! This was good Korean food! My friend wanted Ondam for lunch since he saw some TikTok recommendations, and they delivered.

Definitely 5/5, excited to come back read more

Ondam - Korean Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Second time here and I'm much more disappointed compared to last time, mostly due to service. We came on Friday for lunch and at 12:10 the parking lot was not even full, yet my friends had to wait at the entrance to be seated until I arrived. I think the restaurant is not being flexible making the guests comfortable. We were given a menu book but the staff kept telling us to use the tablet, which is locked inside the case at the far end of the table. Finally she unplug the tablet and we could take it out. We ordered Ondam gimbap, grilled founder and an eel sop bap. The food tasted good. I was so impressed by 10 Butcher's banchan that Ondam's felt quite inferior. I did enjoy the fish cake slices and the spinach. I enjoyed reading the menu and fantasizing trying the varieties of dishes one day. After we finished eating, I asked for more water and it never came. Another point taken down. read more

I loved Ondam, their staff is extremely helpful and attentive! My aunt and I went here after our Friday evening flight. Even though it was busy, we were seated quickly and served banchan. We were able to order with ease: I'm vegan and was able to eat the Mushroom Tofu soup with a water base (their tofu soup is typically made with beef broth). My aunt ordered the Mixed Tofu soup. We both received an egg and rice with our order. The soup and rice were so delicious! Inside, the place was well decorated for the holiday season. And the staff was so friendly, and answered all of our small questions (where is that decoration from? what is this dish made out of?). At the end, we were served these yummy honey cookies and the person at our front gave us more! Enjoyed my time here, would definitely go again!!! read more

Nice modern decor, unfortunately we were located near the door and it was a cold night, but the food kept us warm. Everything was super fresh and tasty. Good banchan esp the kim chi. Good bulgogi, top level fried chicken and great Korean fried chicken. Will definitely return 5 stars read more

Huge portion. 5/5 * Bulgogi Sot Bap - Rice was buttery so it made the dish heavier, but the meat and spicy sauce was great. 4/5 * Ondam kimbap - Nothing crazy but better than grocery store kimbap. 3/5 Food came out fast and the portions were larger than expected. My friends had high praise for their raw marinated crab but I didn't try it this time. The parking lot is small so if it's full, you can park behind the restaurant on Madera Dr. read more
