    came here with my son and his friends after school. They have a great menu selection , we ordered Salmon Bite Rice, Seafood Udon , Bulgogi Udon, Spicy Chicken Rice, and Bulgogi Japache. Everything came out fast and hot. I had the Seafood Udon, which I enjoyed eating. It had a nice Noodle texture and a Good portion of seafood. Overall, it tasted good. No bad comments from the kiddos they all like it. Staff are friendly and the place is clean . Parking space has a lot too.

    Similar concept to Pepper Lunch, Voqozo has sizzling plates with different carbs and proteins. They don't have as many options but I think their portions are generous and there are options for double protein too. Once seated, you order everything through a QC code on the table, through Toast. Food comes out pretty quick since the kitchen doesn't need to cook anything. But because everything is sizzling in the main dining area, it can get a bit stuffy. I ordered the Sliced Beef Steak Rice with cabbage mix and although it's a bit pricey for a meal, the portions were pretty large. I wasn't able to finish the whole thing in one sitting. There was a good meat to rice ratio but there could have been more vegetables. Meat was tender and if you need more flavoring, there are bottles of Sweet and Sour Teriyaki Sauce and Spicy Gochujang Sauce. Pro-tip: spread the rice flat and cover as much of the hot surface of the sizzling plate. Let it sit for a bit to get a delicious, crunchy crust on your rice. We also ordered the French Fries w/ Kimchi Seasoning. Save the dollar and just get the normal fries because I couldn't really taste the Kimchi flavor. The fries themselves were crispy though. Overall, a good meal and a fun experience if you like to cook things yourself. In my opinion, it's not as good as Pepper Lunch flavor-wise but there are some unique things I'd be interested in trying (i.e. Jajang Rice).

    Decently sized casual restaurant with plenty of booths and tables. Service was great and food came out sizzling Bulgogi udon was as expected, sweet and slightly savory with chewy udon noodle sprinkled with green onions & peas on top. Overall flavor and presentation were, decent but nothing with a wow factor - satisfied my cravings!

    My husband works in the area, so he's been here a few times already - he ordered the Jeyuk bowl - tasty! It has good flavor, pork was tender, it comes with rice and kimchi. The spicy chicken udon is good, noodles were cooked perfectly - not too chewy. I like the little char flavor on the chicken. There's a bottle of gochujang sauce at the table, if you want more spice. Our food did come out quickly, but service is lacking tonight. The manager working was not at his best it seems, he was in a mood since taking our order. It's 8pm - 2 hours before closing and he's in such a rush to clean and block half the restaurant off, more customers came in after us so where was everyone going to sit if they dined in? My husband was still polite and thanked him when our food was brought out - no response, he said service is good during lunch, so maybe it'll be better next time around.

    Sad this place is closed now. The space was large and parking was easy. Staff were helpful and it was relatively quick to be served. The food was tasty, we would have definitely come back to try more /:

    bulgogi
    Chris P.

    Came here for the first time, my kids wanted to try something new. We liked the idea of sizzling plate on all menu options. The bulgogi was alright, it was extra seeet to me, I've tried better ones. My kids love the salmon plate and teriyaki udon. The teriyaki was not too overwhelmingly sweet. The rare steak was already cooked by the time it was served to us. Mybgusband was hoping it was still pinkish. Lots of parking; service was fast; Good amount of seating areas inside, few outside;

    Possibly my newest favorite place to fast grub near UTC. There's a place up in NorCal that I missed so much since moving to SD that would sell sizzling plates. Voqozo took the concept and made it original, made it their own, and definitely made it delicious. The portion is sure worth the price (average priced) and the service is great. Ordering is done on your phone or at the counter, super simple. It's especially great for a dine and go when you have busy schedules but still a homey and friendly place to sit and dine with friends and family. The restaurant is very clean and generally just all positive things when it comes to Voqozo. I'll definitely be coming back. Overall rating: Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Menu: 10/10 Restaurant Vibes: 10/10 Price to Overall Dining (POD): 10/10

    Don't forget the sauce!

    The food here is fantastic, especially if you're into bold, comforting Korean flavors with a twist. My favorite was the spicy chicken rice bowl. It comes out in a dramatic dome of rice over a bed of sautéed chicken and vegetables, served in a sizzling stone bowl. Once you stir it all together, the rice gets perfectly crispy against the hot surface. This style really elevates the dish and makes it feel unique to this place. The bulgogi udon was also very good. It's more of a classic stir-fry plate with thick, chewy noodles, tender beef, and mixed veggies. It's tasty and satisfying, just a bit more standard compared to the sizzling rice bowl. I loved the spicy gochujang at the table. It adds a great kick without overpowering the dish. There's also a sweet and tangy teriyaki-style sauce for those who prefer something milder. Service was fast and courteous. This is a great spot for lunch or takeout. The atmosphere is more functional and fast-paced, so come for the food, not the vibe.

    Spam rice
    Chanel Y.

    I've had this place on my list for a while, mainly because all the pictures looked so yummmmmyyyyy! Well, my friend and I finally made our way in, and we were impressed! The food was as good as it looks in the pictures. By no means is this the best we've ever had, but for the price and convenience, it was pretty good! My only note is: I wish the spam was a little more crispy. Other than that, pretty good.

    Sliced beef with rice
    Ryan G.

    I like this place. It's a fast casual Korean hot plate spot (think bibimbap but hot stone plate instead). I usually get the slice beef with rice in cabbage mix. I'll ask for a side of sesame oil and salt. It's a pretty good and quick meal. The kimchi seasoning fries are also good. One thing I wish they had was more sides/appetizers (eg wings, salad etc) as sometimes I find the plate isn't enough to satisfy me.

    Came here last Sunday and you can order by scanning the QR code at the table or at the counter. I chose the Jeyuk (spicy pork) rice and the sliced beef steak rice. Hubby opted for the bulgogi and Spam may rice. The first 3 bowls came out super fast! They were sizzling and hot! I started mixing the ingredients and the bowls were pretty tasty! Hubby loved the Spam one a lot. These bowls were quite tasty and service was quick and friendly,

    Came here for lunch with my mom on a weekend. This is in a strip mall where Ross and Marshalls are. They have plenty of parking spaces. My mom and I shared the double jeyu (spicy spork) that came with a small bowl of rice. It came sizzling hot and smells delicious. The taste did not disappoint either. Server was very nice and helpful as well. Will definitely come back here and try other dishes.

    Last time I visited this spot there was a fried chicken place here.  Originally I remember a Fins taco place here.  Maybe Voqozo will have better luck.  Staff was nice and encouraged me to use the online ordering system. I ordered the bulgogi with japchae.  Rice noodles had a snap to them and a nice mild flavor which went well with the salty bulgogi.  Bulgogi was tender and had tons of salty soy sauce flavor.  Pretty good dish.  My favorite bulgogi is the marinated bulgogi from Zion which I grill over charcoal on my Weber Smokey Joe.  Voqozo's version needs a bit less salty flavor and more of the smoky component. Voqozo is nicely decorated but I'm not a fan of the hardwood benches.  I like my seating more cushioned. Staff was very nice and got my meal out quickly.

Although I'm a huge Galbi Jjim fan (and they seemed to specialize in this...and many other dishes!), we decided to go with what we thought was a lighter dish...the Pork Cutlet (Korean version of the Japanese Pork Katsu...which tends to be thinner, crispier even, with a tad spicier sauce). Well, we both ordered this dish...and it was enormous! Initially we were sure we could only eat half our plates, but as it went, we licked every bit of it off. Yes...THAT good!! We also added an app, Panko Fried Dumplings...which were good, but I thought it was a bit too heavy. Definitely didn't need this, given the size of our entrees. Service was just OK...but then, this place was VERY casual. Almost gave off this eatery vibe. San Diego isn't known for many Korean restaurants, but I'm so glad we decided to try this!

I think the filling is mostly vegetables and glass noodles but I don't even notice the lack of meat because it feels so indulgent. The service is always good. They respond quickly and they also have buttons where you can call a waiter over when you're ready to order or check out.

    This was one of the worst AYCE Korean BBQ experiences we've had…read more We came as a group of 8 people and paid $54.99 per person for AYCE, with a 2-hour time limit. The biggest problem was that the restaurant's service was so slow that we could barely enjoy the food we were paying for. The side dishes came out quickly, but the meat took 15-30 minutes to arrive every time. Even with 8 people, when we placed multiple orders, they would only bring 1-2 orders at a time instead of bringing everything we requested. We constantly had to ring the service bell and chase someone down just to get our meat. At one point, we waited about ONE HOUR for our meat. How is that acceptable for an AYCE restaurant with a strict 2-hour limit? We are paying $54.99 per person, not paying to sit at a table and wait for food for half the allotted time. There was also a female server named Anne. I called her over and explained that we were still waiting for our food. She took note of it, but then walked away while looking at me and saying something in Korean. I couldn't understand what she was saying, but the attitude and interaction felt extremely dismissive. And then the experience got even worse when we went to pay. We spoke with the manager about what happened. To be fair, the manager was nice and listened to our concerns, so I want to acknowledge that. However, while we were speaking with the manager, a Vietnamese-speaking male employee/person interrupted our conversation and made an extremely disrespectful comment to my friends, basically saying that if we didn't have money, we shouldn't come there. Then he actually asked what kind of car we were driving. Seriously? We came to the restaurant with money to PAY FOR OUR FOOD. We were not asking for anything for free. We were explaining that we received terrible service and spent most of our limited AYCE time waiting for food. Why does what car we drive have anything to do with the service we received? Making comments about whether customers have money and judging them based on their car is incredibly unprofessional, disrespectful, and completely inappropriate. We were already disappointed with the slow service, but that interaction completely ruined the experience. If you don't want customers complaining about slow service, then provide better service. If you charge $54.99 per person for AYCE with a 2-hour limit, customers should reasonably expect to receive the food they order within that time. Instead, we spent a huge portion of our dinner waiting, ringing the bell, and repeatedly asking for our food -- and then were made to feel like we were somehow not good enough to eat there. The food is not worth being treated this way. I would not recommend this place, and after this experience, we will not be coming back. Management should seriously address both the service delays and the way customers are spoken to. A restaurant can have an off night, but making insulting comments about a customer's money and car crosses a completely different line. 1 star. Extremely disappointing
