1698 Hostetter Rd siteD, San Jose, CA 95131, USA

4.0
Had the cheesy corn, bulgogi stone pot bibimbap, grilled marbled beef brisket, and stir‑fried squid — all solid picks. The bibimbap was piping hot with a nice crunch at the bottom, the beef brisket was tender and nicely marbled, and the squid had good texture and flavor. The cheesy corn added a fun twist as a shareable side.Service was friendly and prompt, and the vibe is casual but inviting. Overall: a great spot for Korean flavors in the area. Highly recommended to go back and try more. - Hung Ly
