The inside is clean with homey vibes, and they have a solid K-pop playlist playing in the back. The Korean lady, who I believe was the owner, gave great service and asked if we wanted banchan refills even for the lunch special. I would definitely come back for lunch again! Lunch Special - $19.99 Rating: (8/10) The lunch special is a tofu soup combo. You can pick different combinations from the menu, but some choices are considered premium and come with an additional fee. We went with the spicy chicken and beef tofu soup. It came with a bowl of rice, and the portion was enough for two people. The chicken was a little on the dry side and the tofu soup was missing some depth of flavor, but for the price it was good enough!

The tofu soup is rich, and somehow always hits the spot. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, and definitely does fill up quick so go early to beat the rush. The service is always fast and the servers are always kind. This is one of the spots that I consider a hidden gem. 100/10 would recommend.

It's a good size restaurants with wooden tables and chairs and long bench along the wall. Order is by tablet at the table and multiple orders can be put thru at different times. This was convenient when some at the table needed more time to order while some were ready to eat. Banchan items came out as soon as food order was put in. I ordered the ramen tofu soup medium spicy, galbi, and the table ordered pork soft tofu soup and spicy pork bulgogi. Everything was good and spicy items were actually spicy. Plenty of rice too if your family need rice. The dishes were all very good and comforting. Lines and waiting times got long so get here near opening for dinner if you don't want to wait.

For the cold noodles, it was pretty refreshing and a bit light in flavor. It came in a icy vinegary broth with noodles, half a boiled egg, pickled daikon and some pieces of galbi (short rib). Also had option of adding more vinegar and/or mustard if you wanted. The noodles were chewy but that's how it is, recommend asking for some scissors to cut the noodles if it's hard to chew. For the spicy buckwheat cold noodles, it had much more flavor, had a gochujang base, and thicker. It came with half a boiled egg, pickled daikon and pieces of galbi. For the tofu soup, we got the chicken and mushroom which was fine. In addition, the sides were good as well. Service was good.

We ordered the beef soup and the appetizer short ribs, which is about 6 pieces. The sides were good, special shout out to the warm jjapchae! The short ribs came out sizzling, and had a great char with a sweet soy sauce flavor. Meat was tender and had the perfect chew to it, such a comfort meal with the rice. The beef soup came boiling, and there was a generous amount of beef, mushrooms, and tofu. The only complaint I have is the soup ratio was less than what I'm used to so about halfway through the pot there wasn't much soup left to pour onto the rice the way I normally do. But that's not a bad thing, means you're getting more protein! Service was great, but it's a bit expensive from what I'm used to so I docked a star. I'll check out other places and see if this is just the normal pricing for the area.

The rice cakes in there were chunky compared to most places, which made it a more enjoyable eat. It was my first time having sooyuk and I loved the cuts of meat in there, especially the tendon.

We ordered the Stone Pot Bibimbap, Soft Tofu Soup, and the Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs (Galbi). The short ribs were, without a doubt, the highlight of our meal. They were perfectly marinated, incredibly tender, juicy, and literally melted in our mouths. Easily one of the best Korean BBQ short ribs we've ever had. The stone pot bibimbap was also delicious, with crispy rice on the bottom and fresh, flavorful toppings. The soft tofu soup was hot, comforting, and full of flavor. The restaurant was very clean, cozy, and welcoming. The side dishes were fresh and tasty, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. We're so glad we came back, and we'll definitely be returning again. Highly recommend Omogari to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Korean food in San Jose!

According to the notes on my phone, I have some updates for you for SJ Omogari. ha ha!…read more A noteworthy change is that they now have outdoor seating with a covered patio. Also, even though there is a small parking lot behind their building, do not park there. That is for employees only. And before you ask, no, I did not park there. I'm a rule follower. Just sharing for your information. There is always plenty of street parking. Just make sure you feed your meter. I paid $3 for an hour and a half of parking. Again, this update is after multiple meals with different people. SJ Omogari continues to be a go to favorite, especially if you want Meat Jun. I've tried it at other restaurants, and none come close to the flavorful, tender version from SJ Omogari. My friend and I had lunch at SJ Omogari yesterday. The tables seemed very close together. It's good for the restaurant to get more people, but it felt a little closed in for my personal space preferences. This was my friend's first visit, and she loved it! I ordered Meat Jun (duh), and we shared a dumpling tofu soup. I was feeling bold, so we asked for medium spicy. I was sweating, but it was very flavorful and I kept eating as the sweat dripped down my head. My friend ordered the chicken bibimbap, which SJ Omogari calls, "Chicken Ricebowl." That stone bowl was SUPER HOT! It was sizzling when served, and we could still see steam as she packed up her leftovers! My friend loved the crispy rice on the bottom. SJ Omogari is on the pricy side, but still worth it. Go!

We ordered the Iron Plate Seafood Pancake, Seafood Bibimbap, LA Style Grilled Beef Ribs, and Grilled Beef Brisket. Overall, food was decent but I felt like the ingredients did not taste especially fresh or of high quality compared to their other location in Milpitas. Super busy atmosphere when we were there and customer service was substandard. Although we didn't have the best dining experience, I'm sad to see this place go!

This wasn't too much of an issue, and we ended up ordering cheese corn, pork tofu soup, and the galbijjim. Though the wait staff was a one-man show, he was efficient, kind, and attentive. Kept us stocked with water and got us whatever we needed right away (ladle, bowl, etc). Banchan came out almost immediately after ordering. The food was really yummy. One of my friends and I are sensitive to spicy foods, so we were a bit intimidated when the food came out RED. However, the spice level was truly mild and just a little kick of heat. The galbi was extremely tender and everything was well seasoned. My only other issue is the prices are a bit high. You can get similar food for a couple bucks less at spots in Santa Clara. Overall, a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to come back again!
