Korea House - Concord (CA)

4 /5 Angel Wan: We ordered large size Galbi and extra rice to share. It came with 8 Banchan (side dishes). There were the usual suspects: two types of kimchi, spicy fish cakes, spicy small dried fish, spinach etc. But there was a mung bean jelly flavoured with light soy and scallion dressing that I really like. Galbi came on hot iron plate with cabbage. About four ribs cut into pieces. Taste is good but I think they used meat tenderizers. If you have been reading my reviews before I am against this practice which is common in Asian restaurants. It takes away the texture of the protein. Other than that, I will be happy to return to try other dishes.

5 /5 pure: We ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was excellent. The bibimbap and stew, in particular, were generously portioned with plenty of fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned. Just like in a Korean restaurant, they served ten different side dishes, and you could even get one free refill. Highly recommended!

5 /5 Luiza B: I typically never leave ratings but… This place is the real deal - authentic Korean food. The service and ladies are so sweet and hospitable/welcoming. Their lunch special has plenty of variety and a great price for all that you get. I love that they don’t use a lot of sugar in all of their dishes like other Korean places. I’ll be returning to try other dishes.

5 /5 Tatiana Pak: We came here for Mothers Day lunch. The food was really good. They serve 10 side dishes! This is the first time I see that many side dishes. The people who work there are very nice and accommodating. We really liked the place. Planning to come back.

5 /5 Wong Tim (Photo & Tech Alakai): Being from Hawaii and having visited South Korea many times, I am very picky about my Korean BBQ. This place is by far, the best one in the SF Bay Area. Kalbi is charged perfectly and served on a sizzling cast iron platter. Veggie pancake is perfectly cooked. Beef tofu soup is flavorful and delicious. What no other restaurant can match is the free japchae and variety of banchan (side dishes). Kimchi cucumber, spicy tiny fish, spinach and traditional kimchi cabbage are all awesome.
