    Beef tartare, seaweed pollock roe noodles, Paran Gal-bi
    Selena L.

    Came with some friends on a Friday evening. We were communicated that our table was almost ready, they have to clean it, then about 10 mins into waiting we were communicated that again by a different staff member. Seems like communication between staff can be improved on during rushes. We ordered seaweed pollock roe noodles, Paran Gal-bi, and beef tartare. To our surprise, the noodles were spicy when the description on the menu did not state spicy. I loved that the noodles came with a ton of green onions on top, and not overly saucy or wet. The Galbi was tender and flavorful and cut up into bite size pieces. The Galbi came with grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, and a salad on the hot plate. I would suggest the salad to come separately as it got soggy and warm very quickly on the hot plate, as well as oily due to the meat. The tartare was good, though the proportion of the cracker to the tartare was not great - more cracker is needed. The tartare also came with a sauce on the side, which again I would say more sauce is needed for the size of the dish. We were going to get cocktails but were uninterested after seeing that the menu doesn't have any description of what exactly is in each drink. One thing Paran can improve upon on the menu is adding more details so that customers know exactly what they are ordering. Overall, food was flavorful and came out pretty fast. I would come back again and try their other dishes.

    So pleasantly surprised with paran, every dish was executed so well! Our party got the galbi, perilla oil noodle, and chili oil tteokbokki which was perfectly shared amongst 4 people. While every dish was a 5/5 the dish that stood out the most was the perilla oil noodle. It was so unique and tasted so good. It had an earthy herbal taste, which I know doesn't sound very convincing but everyone in my group said it was the favorite. The noodles were cooked perfectly and seasoning was well done. The tteokbokki was soft and chewy and again flavor was great. Can't wait to come back and try the other dishes!!

    Paran Galbi, Seaweed Pollack Roe Udon

    I came here for a date night. The restaurant is intimate and I really liked the design choices they took with the space. The staff were friendly and regularly checked up on us throughout the meal. As for when it comes to food, the portions are quite large and would definitely keep that in mind while you're ordering! Most things are meant to share between 2-3 people. For two people I think just a protein and noodle dish is perfect to share. The appetizers were just fine, I think I'd be okay with not getting any next time. I really enjoyed the mains though and they are truly perfect for sharing! The Galbi was tender and flavorful. I also love any creamy udon so enjoyed that dish (there is a good kick of spice to it). My only suggestion was that our food all came out at the same time and our table was quite small. I wish they had staggered our food coming out a little. This place is fairly new and I think it has great potential. I would definitely want to try this place again and think it would be great place for an after work happy hour or more casual hangout.

    Fremont's been getting a lot of traction from foodies lately, and it's going for both old and new places! This slightly newer place is within a very busy intersection on Fremont, not far from the newer Moment Cafe and a slight ways away from the Fremont Troll where I snagged parking like all my other visits to Fremont on a Friday at 5:30pm. It's bright and sunny for this visit, so a ton of natural light shines inside at the front tables and at the waiting area while all other tables for groups of 2-4 are deeper inside. The menu is offered both as physical copies and as a QR code situated near each table. From recommendations, the salmon pollack roe was the dish of choice for this visit. It was oddly spicy; tons of spice flakes were sprinkled on top of the green onions that made up an even bigger portion of the top condiments. I almost thought the seaweed cream sauce was spicy for a second there! Mixing everything together really change things though; salmon roe gave a rich and buttery kind of taste, which complemented the cream sauce. Shrimp was few in number but added more to the seafood-y taste this dish has. I just wish the portion was bigger for the price. Pretty great food so far, and I'd come next time with more people to try their shareables. Keep in mind they add an 18% gratuity service charge on your bill regardless of the size of your party, so expect to pay more than what you see.

    So happy to have found this great spot in the heart of Fremont! We walked over from Gas Works Park for a bite to eat and had a really nice experience. We ordered family-style so we could try a variety of dishes, including noodles, richly marinated beef, and some delicious dumplings. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced. Portions are a bit on the smaller side for the price, but the quality and flavors really stand out. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the food came out quickly, which made the whole experience even better. The menu isn't huge, but it's clear there's a lot of thought behind each dish. The space is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend making a reservation ahead of time. I'd definitely come back to try more.

    Gochujang udon

    Girl I didn't even know they only had 15 servings of beef tartare.... Thank god I'm a hungry bi$&@ cuz I got there the second they opened. And the Beef tartare was bussin'- sesame oil forward and beautiful! Paran is cute little tight spot on a busy corner of Fremont. We went there on Fri and it deffo filled up pretty quick after we got seated. The cocktails were delish. The matcha one was earthy with just the right amount of zing. I got the pollack roe udon and my friend got the gochujang udon, and they are both creamy spicy flavorbombs. We stuffed ourselves silly and I would for sure comeback for nice casual evening dinner. I would just say get there early like right at 5 so you don't miss out on the beef tartare and get a table right away.

    Great place to get Korean food in Fremont, OK service, the food came out super hot and fresh. They have a great selection of drinks as well as food items that are shareable. Overall, I highly recommend and would come back. Sidenote; there is a 18% gratuity charge automatically added to every single check which is essentially an included tip.

    Je-yuk
    Jess L.

    To start, the food was very good. The galbi was so juicy - a must get. This was my favorite! The rose Jjim-dak the chicken was sooo tender. I also think the pollack roe noodle absolutely should be part of the order as well. The location was very convenient as it is right by the bridge and the inside was quite cozy. A good date night spot. The service was good to great in my opinion- I called in and the reservation times got mixed up but because they messed it up they took it on themselves to get us a table when they could. I really appreciate the effort they put in making sure that we were accounted for!

    Sea weed noodles

    We finally made it to Paran, a new Korean grill in Fremont! We've tried walking in before but it's always packed, so we booked a Sunday 5:30 p.m. reservation (and the restaurant still filled up fast). The menu is straightforward: appetizers, three main grill choices (beef, pork, chicken), and noodle dishes. * Seaweed Noodle: Excellent. The sauce was rich and creamy, with a fantastic umami flavor from the seaweed and roe. * Grilled Beef Rib: Highly recommend this. They conveniently carve the meat off the bone for you, and it comes with plenty of meat and mushrooms. It is served with a side salad that actually stands out--unlike most side salads, this one was incredibly fresh with a bright yuzu dressing. The only minor drawback was that the grilled food was a bit oily overall. However, the space is clean, and the speed of the service is absolutely phenomenal.

    Beef tartare
    Christy K.

    Modern Korean food can be hit or miss but Paran gets it right. It still feels comforting and thoughtful, with amazing flavor. Refined without trying too hard or overcomplicating things CHILI OIL TTEOKBOKKI -- as a self-proclaimed tteokbokki connoisseur, this was a real standout for me. It had the illusion of spice without being spicy, and the chili oil in place of gochujang was an unexpected twist that worked so well. The chopped pistachios added such a nice crunch. BEEF TARTARE -- rich and savory, with a soft, silky texture that practically melts in your mouth. The chopped Asian pear added a touch of freshness, and the pistachios brought a nice crunch for contrast. PARAN GAL-BI -- steakhouse-level tender, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth. The marinade was spot on, bringing out that rich galbi flavor without overpowering the beef itself. And the signature tomato gochujang sauce? Addictive. The citrusy side salad was the perfect fresh, bright balance. Ruby Citrus and MBP were both stiff yet light, and paired really well with the menu. The decor and ambiance reminded me of Korea in the '80s -- an artful nod that felt nostalgic and intentional without feeling dated. They were super busy, but the service was still warm and efficient

    Pork
    Audrey L.

    Great food and nice atmosphere! The dishes were all tasty although a bit pricy given the portion sizes. We got the seafood pollok roe noodles and the je-euk (stir fried pork). Both dishes were great but I really liked the pork! The marinade and the dipping sauce were very flavorful. Paran is a nice place to check out if you're looking for modern Korean food. Again, the food is good but a bit overpriced for the portions.

    Perilla noodles
    Dawn A.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We didn't have a reservation but were able to get seated for a party of 2 easily by the windows. The restaurant is small so I definitely recommend getting on the Yelp waitlist early or making a reservation. We had three dishes: seafood noodles, perilla noodles, and the salad. The texture of the noodles was excellent - chewy and evenly cooked. The seafood noodles had a generous amount of shrimp and the sauce was creamy and had crushed seaweed mixed in. It is a bit sweet but I didn't mind that. The perilla noodles were lighter. I liked the dressing on the salad - a creamy sesame.

    Michelle Z.

    There was so much hype for this place when I first opened so I knew that I had to check it out. We had a reservation for a Sunday night and it wasn't as packed as I thought. The location is nice as it's in central Fremont and I love the cozy vibe of the place. Now talking about the food, I think it was pretty good but nothing that stands out too much. We got their famous galbi platter and their seaweed pollack udon. I think the galbi was good, but it's super oily. It feels heavy when you eat it even with the salad on the side, it also tends to lean pretty . And for $52 it's not worth the money for the portion. Same thing goes for the udon. I think it was way too expensive for what it is, but the flavors were OK. I like it a lot, but my partner did not like it at all. It was pretty umami. I would like to come back again and try the other dishes as well as their drinks.

The menu and experience differ between lunch and dinner, and this is my lunch review. Simply put, lunch is much more casual and affordable than dinner (You order lunch scanning the QR code at the table). If you're on a budget, you can eat lunch here for less than $20. I went here for lunch twice during my business trip last month and here's what I ordered: - Seafood Tofu Soup - $17.50 - A seafood soondoobu (순두부) with a generous helping of soft tofu, shrimp, mussels and clam, served with rice. Delicious, refreshing and not spicy-I bet they could make it spicy if you asked. I enjoyed the texture from the cabbage bits. - Seolleongtang (설렁탕) - $15.50 - Oxtail bone broth served with potato starch noodles and brisket, comes with salt and green onion already added(typically doesn't at other Korean restaurants). High-quality ingredients and flavor, a great comfort food with a generous serving of brisket. - Shaved ice dessert (빙수) - $9.00 - A great combination of cinnamon, ginger cream and fried rice puffs. Delicious and different than other Korean shaved ice desserts I've had that typically have red bean and overly sweet ingredients. If you're on the fence about coming here, maybe try out lunch first. Lunch is more casual, affordable and simpler than dinner, but is delicious and high-quality. You should come here for dinner too, and I'll post about my dinners here soon.

I dislike the more common 'elevated' where a restaurant makes changes such as swapping meat cuts from traditional recipes to something wagyu without any added thought or creativity in the process. Not at Paju. They are Koreans elevating Korean dishes. The dishes are refined and well-honed. Their creativity shows they know what they are doing. Plating is thoughtful. The restaurant itself is modernly elegant, great for date nights. Note the restaurant is quiet and elegant; perhaps they have a private room for loud celebrations. Staff was helpful with my questions. Food was available in a timely manner. The Food: Octopus, $27 - 5 Stars Served with smoked trout roe and dashima beurrie blanc sauce, this dish is visually attractive and absolutely delicious! One of our top dishes of the night. Paju Fried Rice, $27 - 4 Stars Cooked with kimchi, bacon, squid ink, and quail egg, this dish is one of their most popular dishes. I find squid ink to have a subtle earthy type of sea-umami flavor. The bacon and kimchi are a touch stronger in this combination. It's a good dish, but amongst our five dishes, this one ranked the lowest. Mushrooms, $23 - 5 Stars Served with parmesan cheese shaved so thin it's translucent, white kimchi, and truffle aioli, this dish is the bomb! Excellent for the mushroom lovers, it might convert mushroom haters, too. Lol. Another top dish of the night. Branzino Gui, $51 - 4 Stars Served with four banchan, this dish stands out for its execution - impeccably grilled and plated. The fish is very tender and perfectly cooked. I do think it is a bit plain for the price. Branzino is fairly common in different parts of the world. Ranked 4th for the night. Duck - 5 Stars Duck breast is served with a slice of duck and pistachio pastry plus four banchan. The duck is super tender. The pastry is clever utilizing other bits of duck meat. The simple sauce is very important, adding flavor to the pastry. Also delicious.

The staff is gracious, prompt, professional, and - I hope no one objects when I say this - rather attractive. Generous portions and reasonable prices for what you're getting. The food is nothing sort of legendary - bold flavors and dishes have the perfect balance of sweet, heat, savory, and umami. THE THORNS: None significant enough to mention. NEITHER ROSE NOR THORN: It is important to note that this place is insanely popular with the area's Korean community. The restaurant is quite busy Thursday thru Sunday, and significant waits for a table are likely. Monday thru Wednesday is your best time for going and getting a table without a wait. The price of some dishes, like their signature offering, Kalbijjim, might give you a pause ($80+). It is important to keep in mind this is made to order, and one serving can easily serve four regular appetites. If you're just a couple, you're definitely going to be taking this home with you. This is not a bad thing, as Kalbijjim is one of those dishes that is even better the next day and doesn't suffer from reheating. THE VERDICT: Daeho Kalbijjim is extremely popular, and it's not hard to see why. The execute authentic Korean cuisine pretty much flawlessly with efficient and charming service. What else to you want in a restaurant? Highly recommend. Just try not to go on the busy days.

    I wanted to give this place a second chance because I know a lot of people really enjoy it, but…read moreunfortunately my experiences were underwhelming. As i always say go try it for yourself. The first time I visited, the quality of the meat cuts didn't impress me, and the soups lacked depth of flavor. I'm not talking about needing more salt--the broth itself just tasted flat. When you're paying close to $30 for a bowl of soup, I think it's reasonable to expect a higher level of quality and care to ingredients. The second visit was a mixed experience. To be fair, I was in the wrong. There is a clearly posted policy stating that your entire party must be present before being seated. My group was about seven minutes away, and since I had already checked in on Yelp and there were only two parties ahead of me with no one physically waiting, I asked if I could be seated and order while I waited. I had already been standing inside for about 10 minutes. I was told that although tables were available, seating me ahead of the other parties on the waitlist would be unfair. I understood the reasoning, but she had also asked prior for my order. Her explanation left me confused so i sheepishly said I understood the policy. She already seemed upset by the time i had gotten there. Sometimes we have off days i get that. This place is clearly hit or miss, I've got friends who absolutely swear by it. For me, though, it wasn't anything special and didn't justify the price. If you're looking for Korean food in the area, I've had better experiences with higher-quality dishes elsewhere, especially in Lynnwood.

It is set up like a cute korean style bar with small round tables which make sharing easier. They have a pretty good selection on their menu and we ordered a couple of items to share. The Rose Ttoekbokki with cheese was very yummy, but it kinda tasted like pasta with rice cakes instead of spaghetti. I think that is the point of this dish, so if you want a more traditional spicy flavor then get the other ttoekbokki option (spicy rice cakes). We still loved this one and the rice cakes were so chewy and delicious. The cheese corn was very yummy and exactly what you would expect. It pairs perfectly with the other dishes.

The tofu was so yummy, and the bean sprouts were so crunchy and well seasoned. We even asked for extra! The only aspect that makes it difficult to come more often is the price point.

They even bring out dadegi, which is so classic for this dish and makes me feel at home. If you're a fan of mixing textures, definitely order the seafood pancake! So crispy, but also chewy from the seafood, and they definitely don't skimp out on portions of ingredients and the size of this dish in general!

The service was great and the waiter explained many of the new dishes to us herself. The food came out very fast after ordering and though there were several other tables full of groups, they also got their food out quick as well. The noise level is moderate, but the high walls on the booths and the partitions between the larger seating area and the table and booth section helps to buffer the noise pollution between the areas. The La kalbi was very flavorful and cooked to perfection. The dish came with a side bowl of rice and assorted bon chon. You could share this dish between a group of 2-3 or individually order it and be fulfilled.

    Hae-Nam Kalbi recently had a grand opening, which has been since April 2026. I heard there are new…read moreowners and wanted to check it out. I have dined here before so the interiors isn't too different just small changes. Let's jump to the food- I ordered the galbitang and it came with 10 different banchan. Which is a nice surprise since some restaurants aren't as generous in the banchan. The galbitang was so flavorful for a "clear" soup and the meat was tender. It also included a good portion of meat. I've tried galbitang at other places, but there was an umami that many didn't have. All the banchan were flavorful too, I thought the kimchi had a good balance as sometimes it can be a bit on the saltier side. Service was great too, the sever was friendly and checked often. When I went, it was just me then a couple arrived. There was a delay with their order so she provided some mandu on the house while their order was being prepared. Once they received their order, I heard the couple tell the sever that everything was very good multiple times- their food did look good! I recommend checking this place out especially with the new ownership. Menu looks similar from previous owners, but will for sure go back and try something else!
