The food is delicious and well packed I can assure you! I am a chief by myself n pretty fussy with a food..

We found another Korean gem 😋 I usually can’t eat bibimbap but this one was so delicious that I literally scooped out the half of it from hubby’s hot pot. I loved all side plates except kimchi, personally it tasted like a raw fish.But we loved this place, people, interior and of course the food 🥘.

This place was 100% very friendly great cooks and its a very chill place i loved it, especially the brisket and short rib 💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥

1. Facility: the building is old and smelly.2. Service: excellent3.Taste: pretty good for seafood pancake and fried shrimpsDont try BBQ, that are always burned and soggy and soups, that are almost water and sauce5. Portion of food: too little to fill your stomach. Order two dish at least for a person4. Price: very expensiveOverall, Not worth trying!!

We ordered seafood soup. For a dish over $20, the crab is not fresh, only a couple of pieces of tofu, two salty mussels and several tiny shrimps. I got stomachache right after finishing the soup! Cannot imagine how it can survive in Bay Area!

It’s our first time to eat here at Korean Palace and we made the right choice .. the food was great and authentic.. the owner and servers were very nice and pleasant. They helped us picked the right combination for our BBQ experience. The soft tofu soup was great. We will definitely come back here with our friends! Thank you! Kamsahamnida😀

Food is very good. Must be authentic as we were only non Korean customers. Could use some upgraded decor and sprucing up.

Very delicious food! Highly recommend bibimbap (rice in a hot stone pot). Their side dishes are also well made and appetizing. Service was good and place was clean. 👍

The food and service were excellent. Everything we ordered was very well prepared and the portions were generous. I recommend the barbecued short ribs and Japchae.

Seafood Soon Tofu was quite spicy but delicious. Recommended to go for lower spice level if you dont have high spice tolerance. Large side dish portions. Service was not very fast but the server was very meticulous and accommodating in explaining ingredients in food according to a friends dietary restrictions. Overall would recommend this place.

All I can really say is wow. We stopped by while on a business trip just on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised since we went at 7 pm and the dining room was completely empty. However, their food was amazing! Maybe some clarification on their menus when trying to specify items between lunch and dinner options. But their food was great, service was lacking since they were all sitting and talking/headphones in/watching videos on phone.

This restaurant uses cheap ingredient but charge you high price. They skip meat in your soup. Food served differs from the menu, what you ordered. Be careful do not get fooled.

It’s a Korean BBQ place, minus you don’t get to grill your meat. So it’s more like a cheap Hawaiian bbq place, minus the cheap price. $30-$45 per meat or $70 for the combo for this!! Ridiculous!

So yummy and attentive and can handle spicy for white people

Usual Korean restaurant. They have the usual Korean comfort fares you expect to find. Plus they have the Korean barbeque if you want somerhing fancy, although we did not try that. It was a regular experience.

Our high school alumni club had annual party at the Korean Palace as has been customary. We had 53 members and the food was great! They had 10 delicious trays plus rice and fruits. Delicious.

The food here was very delicious. We got bulgogi bibimbap and bbq chicken hot stone pot. The bulgogi was really nice with a subtle sweetness. The BBQ chicken was good but would try a different protein next time in the hot stone pot. The veggies, rice, and sauce for the hot stone pot were so yummy! The service was a bit slow but the people were very friendly. Definitely recommend eating here!

Located in a run down area, but worth the quick drive from Valley Fair Mall, and once inside, a feast awaits you. Large booths, private party room. This restaurant has been around for a long time with a palace feel. Bulgogi, is sweet, tender and addictive with very little to nonexistent gristle. A good deal on lunch. Quality food and freshly made typical Korean dishes. Overseen by the owners who are usually there, and same waiters and waitresses who do not seem to age even as children age over 10 years. The cooks are Korean ladies, the food shows so much attention to detail that adds more taste to each dish and the kimchee is the best.

Waitors can not speak English. Restroom does not have soap. Over charged tofu soup made last night will be served.

Cozy interior, delicious food, and the friendliest owners you’ll meet

The best Korean restaurant in town.

Splendid food. I could rant for an hour on how good it was. Service was really helpful.

The food quality was excellent.Their homemade sauces and side dishes are the best in north california.Perfect services with awesome staffs.

Good food friendly staff good service

Great traditional Korean food.Tasty with spicy-kick flavor meals.

Job Chae was excellent as well as the service

We enjoy going out. Yesterday we came to this fine place which friends recommended to us. We passed a delightful experience there with first-rate food and an efficient stuff and a distinguished cook. We added this fine restaurant in our phone list and we will no doubt return soon. We deeply recommend.

Food quality and service not so good.

I like this restaurant! They serve sensational meals, they have a rich menu, The chef in that restaurant is a specialist, I like a lot eating all their dishes. The dishes are consistently good, the attitude towards the clients is very good too. I often eat in this place and I was never disappointed. I highly recommend it.

Best food..

Excellent environment and very attentive service. The meals were fresh and delicious. Will absolutely recommend this spot to friends. Reasonable rates and generous portions. Great work.

Korean food and the feeling at this place is great. Entered near ten, it was not crowded. The bill wont shock you. Food is similar to a cafe in Portland I liked.

I was part of a large group (around 20 people) that came in on relatively short notice and the entire experience was wonderful. The food was great and the restaurant was clean but by far the most impressive was the quality of service. They were incredibly accommodating to us and just absolutely wonderful to work with. This was originally our second option because the original place we were going to was too crowded, but it ended up being the best decision of our night. Thanks for everything, Korean Palace staff!

A favorite place for Korean food. Its so savory. I will be bringing friends next time. The bill was reasonable. Reminds me of a place in New York I liked to visit.

The restaurant is wonderful and roomy, the menu was delightful and the rates were very affordable. quick, productive service and very amiable staff. Will definitely recommend this place.

Great food! Great meeting space in the back for events. I love their event catering and the atmosphere.

I actually love the food and service, good area nearby to my house. The staff members are always very nice. Highly recommended.

I am Korean and this is not real Korean food. Almost every dish is under seasoned and prepared improperly. I am an amateur cook at home and I know for certain I can prepare much better Korean meals than this knock-off. Dont waste your money in this overpriced fraud.

This place is fantastic. We were actually going to go to the other Korean BBQ place down the road, but they were closed. I had earlier suggested we stop by Korean palace but my friend was insistent that we go to the other place. Once we saw they were closed we made our way back to the palace and sat down for lunch. All I can say is wow! The food is fantastic and the prices were more than reasonable for what we got. If you like Korean BBQ, definitely check this place out!

Best Korean Restaurant! The food is so delicious and the service is so friendly! I have never been to a restaurant that is nearly as friendly and respectful as this. Love it so much!

The quality of the food is good and the staff are very friendly. The reason I would not give this place 5 stars is because of the amount of food given and the fam that that there are only certain items on the menu that allow you to use the table top grill. Also, it is quite pricey for the amount. My wife and I paid $60 for a combination plate that comes with 4 types of meats. Most Korean BBQ places have a flat rate and its all you can eat....not here. All in all, it is a nice little restaurant but I will no be frequenting it.

Great, authentic Korean food. Been eating there with my family for years. My mom is full Korean (born in Korea) and this is pretty much the only Korean food shell eat in the Bay area.

The food is fresh and melts in your mouth! The owner and staff are very pleasant and accommodating. Not the place to go if youre in a hurry, but great to unwind and savor flavors. Family atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Room in the back for private parties. Not a lot of parking.

A good place overall. The food tasted good, but there are cheaper and better Korean restaurants around.

Actually the 1st Korean BBQ in San Jose, still there for all these years, great service, awesome food, and they prepare takeout beyond most other in the south bay

I regularly come getting some food in this spot. I love the speedy service and well cooked food. Keep up the good work.

Excellent service and food. Ample parking and most classic Korean dishes available.

Our go to Korean Restaurant. Service is great. We really like the food but were not Korean... Its usually pretty quiet there as well. Favorite dishes include the raw crab in garlic chili sauce, bi bim bap (beef), and the seafood pancake.

Great food. Went to a wedding reception there and every one really enjoyed it. We had a buffet with a number of dishes and all were tasty. Highly recommend it.

The decor and sign may be dated, but this is some of the most reliably good Korean food in town. Try the table grilled meats, the stone pot specialties and enjoy endlessly replenished sides of vegetables, kimchee, tofu and other yummy things. No frills, just good comfort food.

Great food and great service. Been coming here since I was 14yrs. Old and am 37yrs. Old now and bringing my loved ones here for a long time. Its our favorite Korean place to eat. The owners have been the same and the food just keeps getting better! A definite must for Korean foodies.

Had a after funeral meal here couple days ago - probably had 50 people there and we had the reservation set couple days prior to the date. When we arrived there was only 1 server ready to serve all 50 people which started the whole chaos of: food tasting horrible, not providing the enough side dishes, food becoming cold, not providing rice for 20 minutes after food came out, not having water, food coming out super late (took more than 30 minutes for a Galbitang, which usually takes less than 10 minutes), server sighs every time we even try to ask for a small favor (such as to bring salt and pepper to the table) and so many other 100 issues that I can’t even list all here. The owner must have thought that he would make a lot of money by cutting cost of having more servers to serve 50 people; and i guess it worked out as he planned. But I do not think anyone who was there on that day are willing to go back there and about 40 of 50 people that were there were from the local area and we couldnt be more terrified on how they treated us. I think the experience from here was one of the worst services and food that I have had for my whole entire life. Thanks to the owner of this restaurant, Korean Palace, for the experience and letting me appreciate the services from other restaurants. Not going back ever. Bye

The service is constantly speedy, excellent ambience, kind staff. I will return here again when I am in the area.

Food was luke warm. I can get better Kimchi from costco. Its been my favorite place to eat but it was not as good as it used to be.

Attended event there. Good authentic stuff. Kimchee tasted homemade. Overall very satisfied with meal and service. Looks like restaurant could use a refresh but if its for people looking for authentic stuff then sometimes looks dont matter. ;)

Fantastic service, and staff were extremely helpful explaining kbbq to the members of our party that didnt know how to do it. Pricing is more than fair, and the soju is hot. Planning on coming again, and calling ahead, next time we can.

Lunch was quick and reasonably priced

This is, by far, my favorite place to eat! They give plenty of appetizers and are extremely friendly. Every dish is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable.

An old Korean restaurant has to compete with newer ones so if you cant beat fresh new fusion by price, decor, or service then youll be in trouble.The problem with this is the event is run inefficient and poorly. Normally places charge by the person but here they charge by plate used. Really odd considering guest dont know that so some guest grab two plates or a new plate for seconds.The portions provided do not come close to estimates and they always run short on the meats.DIY. Bad business practice and skimps on meats for events.

Excellent short ribs. Yelp reviews are so unfair to this place. Truly loved our experience here.

Everything is delicious!

Bul Gogi and BBQ ribs. Excellent food, excellent service. Friendly staff!

The food were great! Ingredients were fresh and the fries were crispy:)

A friend told me about this restaurant. I decided to give it a try but as I had never been to such place I started thinking whether a reservation is needed or not, whether I should put something smart on etc. It makes me smile now. The place turned out to be cosy, nothing pompous, nothing to worry about! And the food was great.

Delicious and fresh Korean food. Family owned and operated. They are so welcoming and friendly.

We lived in Seoul for four years, and this is the best Korean restaurant we have found since being back in the United States.

The Bibimbap bowls are great and they gave us two slices of watermelon after the meal. This was a perfect ending for spicy food. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is cozy. Get a booth if you can :)

As others have mentioned, our group was rushed with impunity from the moment we entered the near-empty establishment. Our waitress, becoming upset that we did not order immediately as we sat down tapped her watch and told us to hurry. She then left and did not come back for nearly 20 minutes. The prices were twice the norm for the area, and the food quality was merely average. When the check was presented, the waitress stood impatiently by the table tapping her foot. I will never visit this establishment again.

Stopped by on our way through town. Our server was super friendly and attentive. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I grew up with Korean grandmothers and everything tasted exactly the way they cook. The Tofu Jigae and bulgoki were so good! The side dishes were great too! Great family restaurant!

Awesome Korean bbq with all the fixings. Good beer and soju selection too.

Kalbi, dak kalbi, and beef tang soo yook (Korean BBQ and sweet and sour beef) were really good even though they were precooked and it was a buffet. Great place to host events but parking was lacking when we went on a Saturday.

Really good food, a little expensive, but worth it. Rarely ever have to wait for table. You can order already cooked food, or grill your own food at the table.

The atmosphere is ok, but some of the dishes are really delicious!

Good place to come with large parties. Decent food at reasonable prices. Portions are a bit small.

Quiet & less busy! Foods are average.

The food is authentic, tasty and fresh. Extra kudos for making their deonjang and kimchi in house.

Food was nothing to rave about. Actually much more bland than typical Korean flavors. Had a biblimbap. Certainly have had better tasting ones.

This place has alright food. But service and environment are HORRIBLE. The owner has two kids who were running around and yelling when you were eating. No one was trying to take care of it during our time there. Don’t waste your time / money.

Best Korean food in the bay area! Been coming here since 1994 and I introduced my friends and family and they love it!

Hot stone bibimbap is super tasty, the bowl is hot enough to toast the rice.

Good foodGood serviceGood priceGood interiors

Wasnt one of better Korean places in the valley. Service was poor, looked family run without employees. Lunch special had less portions and the bul gogi steak that the attender said was their most popular dish. But wasnt tasting like typical Korean bbq

Great food! Ive been going there for years and have never been disappointed.

Best korean BBQ in town! Eat here allll the time. Highly recommend. Staff and owner extremly friendly.

Great food and customer service

Always amazing. I drive up from Fresno and specifically come here everytime I am in San Jose.

Great service, tasty food.

It was quiet and cozy so I could eat my food with pleasure.

The best korean food in san jose

Quiet. Very nice staff. Great food.

Staff was very nice. Dinner was delicious and price was affordable.

The waitresses were great same with the host. The owner on the other hand is disgusting. She talked crap about me and my mom when we ordered 2 dishes that were inconvinient to make in Korean. Problem is were Korean as well. So my mom asked if we shoukd change our order and she was surprised. Then she started talking about her kids diaper issues very loudly and wouldnt shut her mouth the whole time. Should have walked out then but we were too hungry. she talked the whole time very loudly and had the nerve to ask how our food was. Very very disturbed. Lost my appetite and barely touched the food. It was poorly prepared and watery anyways. And there was no one in the restaurant so no need to rush.

This place is a good place to check out if you want to meat..... all you can eat korean bbq that is. dinner is a lot more expensive with few more choices, personally i love their lunch selection already, plus its more wallet friendly. awesome place and worth to check it out.

They r back. I missed them so much. Delicious spicy pork with pickled veggies. Yum yum

The seafood pancakes and the LA Kalbi were fantastic.

Good quality food. Doesnt get too crowded here.

Yes

Great for anyone first timer to Korean BBQ

Every food we ordered tasted great

Food was average subpar. It was way too expensive for what we got. The BBQ might be good but the soups and cold soups were terrible.
