    BBQ Beef CupBop hit the lunch craving!
    Anissa R.

    Yum! Was unsure about lunch one day so the husband brought home Kindred Seoul. He swore by them (he's a state worker nearby the restaurant and has had them many times before). I ordered the beef cupbop and it hit the spot! All the flavors I could've asked for: sweet, salty, umami goodness. The rice was perfectly fluffy, the japchae nicely cooked, and the beef was so tasty. Great portion and was a nice, warm lunch on a cold day. If you're a state worker and haven't tried them yet, you need to! Delicious Korean food that's fresh and filling!

    BBQ beef cupbop...yum!

    Kindred Seoul. This place serves up Korean fusion food. Korean based cuisine mixed in with modern food twists. Big, bold, delicious flavors. Served casual, counter service style. My fave is the bbq beef cupbop. Cupbop?! It's a bbq beef bulgogi rice bowl. The meat is flavorful, nicely marinaded. The house gochujang sauce is a wow. The menu is concise and diverse enough to provide options. The staff is wonderful. They know how to churn out the orders during the lunch rush. Kindred Seoul lis in the Clifford Allenby office building in downtown Sacramento. It's only open during the week for lunch serving the neighboring office workers. There aren't particularly a lot of eateries nearby. So I do appreciate them as a viable lunch option. At first glance, the building looks like it's not open to the public. But it is... well the first floor where the eatery and dining room is open to the public, plus the restrooms. The lobby setup is reminiscent to a mall food court with Kindred Seoul the only current tenant for now. The building is newish. It has an ultra modern look with a mid century interior decor vibe.

    Fries, Soy Garlic Chicken

    We stopped by this cafeteria because the cafe inside the capitol was busy. It was a simple cafeteria food and was really good and tasty! I got the french fries and the chicken bowl. We went at like 2-3 and got the food from there. It came out quickly and there was a little late because we went at kinda of an obscure time. The service was really fast and really efficient. The food came out piping hot and we were in a bit of a rush so it made it a bit difficult to eat quickly. The ambiance is really clean and everything is really nice! Overall, I recommend it and would go back again if I was doing work near the capitol building!

    KFC Sando and regular French fries

    The food here is VERY tasty!! Everything is seasoned so well. I had the KFC Sando and regular fries and it was perfect to have on my lunch break. Staff were super friendly and the food was ready quickly! It's a very clean space in the building lobby and lots of tables so it doesn't feel too crowded.

    This shows when I placed my order. I got my food at 1:25.

    On a whim, I thought I'd check this place out since it was close by my work. I believe they occupy the same building as Dept of Developmental Services. The restaurant area is huggeeeee, and I believe, for now, they are the only restaurant in the food commons area. Since it was my first time there, I asked questions on what was good. They had vegetarian options and the food is made to order. Thinking I beat the lunch crowd, I thought it'd be quick. There was a line of people to order, as well as a line of ppl waiting for their food. I ordered the Veggie Bop, with the tofu crispy. My order was taken at 12:55 PM. I waited. I looked around me and a number of people were looking at their phone and their watches, which told me they were in the same boat - on lunchtime, on a timeframe to return to work. I continued to wait. And wait. And wait. I didn't get my food until 30 minutes after I placed my order. I was told "thank you for being patient" when picking up my order, so at least they acknowledged it. When I got back to the office, I have to say it was good! The tofu was fried with rice paper (although I would've preferred it fried even longer). The bowl also had rice, slaw, Jap Chae & mayo sauce. I scarfed that down so fast. I'll be back.

    K-Burrito
    Ss S.

    The K-Burrito was so filling. Had rice, kimchi, sour cream, American cheese, beef and a sauce that was mildly spicy. The orange sauce it came with was mild and a tasty. The service was quick. Staff was friendly. The only issue was the meat is more sweet than what I prefer, which makes sense bc it is. Korean spot. It was good but I don't prefer sweet meals.

    Lunch k burrito with bulgogi beef so good and reasonable for 12 bucks get the salsa too
    Alex T.

    It's one of my new favorite spots here. My work bff told me they have korean food. I'm like where? Saw the menu and was like ok they have salads , bowls, tacos, and burrito but korean inspired. Say no less. . Lunch time walked over to try it. I got the bulgogi burrito. I told them to cut in half for me. I enjoyed half while walking back to office. And the other half for later at My desk. I'm so glad I did that because it was hefty good size and put me in a food coma. Lol in a good way. The bulgogi burrito was so juicy and flavorful. It was simple and hits the spot. The price was affordable too like 12 bucks or so. . So it's located inside a cafeteria vendor style in the state building. I really love a close by good affordable and quick pick up lunch when I'm on a time crunch lunch break. . Overall can't wait to come back and try other items. My work bff says her tacos was amazing too. Hope this review helps you decide. Thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day.

    This is such a cute little spot! Definitely a great spot for a quick lunch. I would say a little on the pricy side for what you get but it definitely hit the spot. I got the Bulgogi Bowl thing and it was yummy! Drinks here are average just your normal coke, sprite etc. but definitely stop in (:

    One of those places you would love to frequent but must be patient! And that's no understatement. Even my wife loved their Korean beef taco. They gave us sauces which one of them were spicy HOT! Be careful! Need ice water nearby or ice cream! Lol My wife enjoyed her soy garlic chicken cupbop & was sad when it was totally gone. Like bummer...I totally enjoyed my burrito packed full & my bulgogi beef cupbop. Yes my wife was tempted to want to dig into my order!!! She backed off though which was a first! LOL Yes the M-F 1030-3 hours definitely are catered for the state workers all around. Right? The vibe here was also fresh, clean & contemporary. Even though we had to wait 30 minutes for our full order just bc the gal forgot to place our order in originally it was however worth our wait! Plus the employee did apologize for the long wait. Would we return? If we find street parking nearby sure! On our first try we were very fortunate.

    Loaded Fries
    Allen C.

    I noticed this Korean fusion bistro was a 5 minute walking distance from the state capitol in downtown and so I decided to give this place a shot. Walking in, it had a cafeteria vibe being the only restaurant there. Plenty of seats with the opportunity to dine by yourself or with some friends. Water station to the right. The staff were very friendly and had a warm smile greeting the customers. I decided to order the K-Lunch burrito which consisted of beef bulgolgi, seasoned rice, melted cheese, kimchi slaw, grilled onions, cilantro, sour cream, house gochujang (red pepper paste) sauce, house chili Mayo sauce on flour tortilla. For $12, it's a fairly decent size. It was jam packed with lots of bulgogi that was bursting with flavors. The kimchi slaw wasn't super fermented (sour tasting) and was just right. The house chili mayo combined with the gochujang sauce gave the burrito a little mild kick to it. The tortilla was slightly crispy for a bit of crunch factor. Overall, it was pretty satisfying. The loaded fries consisted of fries, lots of melted cheese, bacon, grilled onion, and house chili mayo sauce. The official website says it's shoestring fries but it's not so take that in mind. The fries weren't crispy at all so I'd definitely recommend to ask for the melted cheese to be on the side for you to drizzle. I'd also ask to go light on the cheese since it's a puddle of it underneath. Besides that, they were pretty good! For $7, it's a bit lacking in the quantity aspect but the quality of the loaded fries makes up for it. The bacon combined with the house sauce made it delicious. Overall, I enjoyed my time here with the great food. I'd come back here again to try out other items.

    Fully loaded fries (bulgogi beef)

    Happy to see this business thriving...I have been trying a variety of things that they offer. So far the standouts are the breakfast burrito and their bbq beef cupbop. Their service is always outstanding. Compliments to the chef and the whole crew!

    Bulgogi beef bowl with japche, corn, kimchi, rice, and sauce.
    Steph T.

    Ordered the bulgogi beef bowl and the bowls are filled to the top and not with rice either, they give lots of meat, japchae, kimchi, and corn. The flavors are on point and is really good. The kimchi has good spice to it and the japche is not mushy. Will def come back again. My only complaint is parking was a bit of a hassle. The service was prompt. They are located inside a huge state building which does have a lot of seating for lunch but it's not a place for dinner or parties as they only open from 10am to 3pm. Parking is a bit of a hassle because you'd have to find street parking, the parking in front of the entrance are for state workers only. Despite that, I'd still come back to try other foods.

    BBQ Beef CupBop
    Saran W.

    Kindred Seoul is a welcome addition to the downtown food scene. Through the modern glass doors of Allenby building (housing different State departments) is Kindred Seoul. It is conveniently located within walking distance from my workplace, and I always look forward to grabbing a bite here when I go into the office. The service here is fantastic. While a small operation, their food packs a punch in flavor. The interior of the building offers plenty of open seating if you want to enjoy your meal there, but I am also always offered a bag and utensils to go if I need them. I'd recommend checking Korean Seoul out if you want to change up your lunch options! The hours mostly cater to the State employee crowd, so be mindful of that when planning your visit. Arriving around 11:30am before the lunch rush seems to be the sweet spot for me.

Their banchan (sides) are delicious and to be honest, might beat out some other places on the variety factor. I love getting the little plates and trying out which ones taste the best. They sometimes rotate out the banchan which can be a nice switch-up. I got the Y4 Kimchi Dolsot Bibimbob this time which is always a safe choice for me. It comes with beef, kimchi, and a variety of other toppings in a hot stone bowl that crisps up the rice. I also love their Soon Du Bu (tofu soup). Came with a group and they have multiple dining rooms to accommodate all guests. Service was alright.

Perfect chew on the rice cakes and hits the spot for a spicy craving. Mul naengmyeon - chewy buckwheat noodles in an ice bath with pickled radish and shredded cucumber. A few bland pieces of beef which I could have done without. The ice cubes are literally frozen beef stock and so flavorful. Comes with vinegar and mustard paste for you to season to taste. Hot stone pork bulgogi - this is another family favorite. Lots of sliced bulgogi in a stone pot with shredded lettuce, green onions, noodles, and some soupy sauce. The is sooo good!! Way better than the beef version, so much more flavorful and tender. This place is casual, family friendly. There is a lot of seating, a few tvs showing sports or cooking shows, and the AC is always on. I notice there is frequent turnover with many servers only lasting a few months, but there are two that have been there forever, and they are honestly so synched up on timing and with what customers need in terms of attention, water, etc. Parking is limited to the small lot out front.

First of all, the food served is exactly like the photos. I got the short rib bun burger and bulgogi gyoza. The burger (omg) had a balance of sweet and salty but also a little spicy. Halfway through I noticed something yellow, it was a pineapple! Usually I have mixed feelings about pineapple with foods like pizza. But this complimented so well. Now, the gyoza. Crispy and you can't go wrong with bulgogi. What I was surprised with was inside I think it was japchae! If you like Korean food like me, I was so excited to see this twist. And yes it was yummy. I seem to get lucky most times and get to meet the owners. That day I met them and they're so nice! I can tell they put a lot of thought into the menu, ingredients, decor, etc. The owners are Japanese and Korean. Hence KoJa! Even this detail was really impressive. I ended up going back because the owner told me that his wife (also owner) created Yang Nyum and it was really good and popular. So I got Yang Nyum, kamikaze fries, and taro boba. The portions were great. But most of all, he was right about Yang Nyum, delicious! I didn't realize the kamikaze fries had beef, so yummy but I definitely overate that day, lol. One other thing I really liked was you could order at the register or kiosk. This is a great way to avoid lines. Once you order they have a screen that shows your ETA (why do other restaurants not have this?). I did go during the day though. So, I can only imagine how amazing it looks at night. Especially after dancing or bar hopping, the food here would pair well. Koja also sells alcohol too though and apparently downstairs is where the dancing is at. Will I go here again, absolutely.

Chicken had a nice char, soup had large pieces of tofu. Dumpling soup: the pork mandu were very yummy. It's a large portion soup. I'm gonna try to come here a few more times before they close. I think the prices are comparable to other Korean restaurants in the Sacramento area, maybe a little cheaper.

    This has been my favorite kbbq places for years and I am looking forward to their long awaited…read morereopening tomorrow, August 24th. I desperately hope they somehow retained their talented kitchen and wait staff for all those months.

    After a failed attempt at another Korean BBQ place down the road, my husband and I took our…read moredaughter to Blue House for an early dinner on Saturday. Our daughter had never been to a Korean BBQ place so she was very excited to check it out. This was my husband and I's second time here, but I had thought they closed permanently - I'm glad it was only temporary! We were greeted immediately by their very friendly hostess who showed us to our table. She gave us some great recommendations and introduced us to their robot, Bella. The inside is pretty big, with multiple rooms and even a bar area. We decided to go with their Option A AYCE - which was $40 for adults and $20 for kids. We ordered a wide variety of items - Sotteck Sotteok, Corn Cheese, Korean Ramen, Seasonal Fruit, Veggie Kimbap and Boneless Fried Chicken Skewers were our appetizer choices and Beef Belly, L.A. Galbi (plus boneless), Pork Belly, Baby Octopus and Headless Shrimp were our protein choices. Our meals came with white rice plus toppings and dips. We left so full, but definitely got our monies worth! Overall, staff were super friendly and patient while we navigated the menu. My daughter loved seeing the protein cooked at the table and the wide array of choices. We will be back soon!

    When we walked in at 5:30 on a Tuesday we were the only people in the restaurant. We took a seat at…read morethe bar and the bartender seemed a little unfamiliar with the bar. When I asked what beers they had he pointed at the taps... Not helpful. We ordered a truffle oil pizza and some kimchi spring rolls. The spring rolls were huge, and just alright. The pizza was heavy on the truffle oil, I was tasting it the rest of the night. I ordered an old fashioned that he made more than would fit in the glass, and you couldn't taste the bourbon at all. He refilled my glass with what was left, which was a bit odd. Not a good old fashioned. The place itself is spacious and has interesting decor with a big semi truck sticking out of the wall and a ceiling mural. The music is 80s-90s rock, I think maybe it was going for a 90s grunge feel? This place was a last minute decision as our planned restaurant was closed on a Tuesday and I probably wouldn't go here again with so.many other choices on k street and around it.

    Hands down one of if not THE best burger I've ever had. Wasn't sure what to expect when walking in…read moreas it was a huge space with few and small tables. I went simple and got the BPM burger with shoestring fries and holy moly. The juiciness, the seasoning, SO GOOD. My only regret is I didn't snap a photo cause I was like there's no way I'll need to do a review on this place. Boy was I wrong! I drove home to San Jose and raved about this spot to anyone who would listen! Can't wait to come back
