Delicious as always... I've always been a fan of koja since college when I used to line up for the koja food truck every Thursday. I'm glad to see their doing so well and expanding (was super happy to see one in Fresno). This location was good cept the cashier didn't seem very happy to be there and my egg was overcooked. Other than that, koja always hits the spot! read more

Got the beef koja which had a lot of flavor and the meat was very tender! The rice was harder to chew than expected but it paired well with the meat. It was kinda hard to eat, I left a mess when picking it up but the taste is definitely there! The wings also had a lot of sauce and was pretty solid as a side. Would come back next time I'm at Westfield valley fair! read more

Koja Kitchen - Soy Garlic Wings ***NEW*** (Non Spicy) Beef Koja - Asian Fusion Near Me - Santa Clara, California

The original koja burgers are absolutely amazing! They were overflowing with well seasoned meat and crispy rice buns. The umami fries were very underwhelming as the portion size was really small and didn't come with much sauce. The short rib bowl is good, but I prefer the simplicity of the original koja. The employees were quite fast and nice. read more

I love Koja. The food here is the perfect blend of modern Korean and Japanese food (hence the name). I don't eat here often since it can be pretty expensive, but it's definitely worth the treat. The teriyaki zen burger is super flavorful and wonderfully paired with the kamikaze fries. They both have a little bit of spice for extra flavor. It's a LOT to eat though, so I always have leftovers to nibble on for the next day. read more

Food menu selection is amazing. They even sell meat sandwiches! The meat is called "koja" and it is their popular selection. Service was great and the wait time is about less than 10 minutes, which is nice. We were at the mall, but the ambiance and noise level is still nice to be around. Meals are about less than $15-$20 read more

Oh my word!! The beef bulgogi burger was quite possibly one of the tastiest burgers I've ever had!! Placed on order for pick up on a weekend evening and was surprised at the short wait time quoted. Ten minutes later my intial qualms were quashed as I chowed down on the most delightful sandwich! The beef was tender and moist and the garlic spread went perfectly with the ginger slaw. The braised pork burger bun was also yummy but was definitely and decidedly outshine by the bulgogi. Amazement! Pure and simple. read more

A great spot for Asian fusion food in Valleyfair! I came here just yesterday and got their combo (a beef a bowl with rice, salad, and Kimchi, a side of their waffle fries and a soda). For me, it's enough for 2 servings, I ate half for dinner and saved half for lunch today. The beef was well seasoned and the spicy sauce on the fries were great. A bit pricey, but the quality was there so it was justified. The workers are nice and service was quick. Definitely check them out if you have a chance during this pandemic :) read more

The ambiance and the workers were very friendly! Food came out fast! Ordered the ahi tuna salad and the spam musubi! Even though the food came out fast, it was kind of cold . It tasted as if they reheated it. The ahi tuna salad was good but the sauce they used was a little too much for me. The flavors were just interesting in our mouth. But definitely try other things on their menu! read more

The Short Rib Bowl. It was very good. Healthy! They allowed me to have all salad versus salad and rice. read more

Surprisingly good for food court food! I ordered the braised pork bowl and kamikaze fries and it was so flavorful. The pork belly was very soft and the subtle notes of coconut really came through. I loved the kimchi on the side too, it was fermented enough that the sour notes really complimented the food. The kamikaze fries were a perfect mix of spicy, sweet, and savory. They were super busy but the food came out relatively quick. It was a bit pricey for everything but it was definitely worth trying! read more

GREAT GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS! Ordered thru GrubHub and my driver brought our food piping hot to us even tho we live a good 7 miles away from Valley Faire. Their gluten free options are great and the Koja burger was a kick! Crispy cooked rice "buns" for the rib meat - yum! We also got rib bowls which were tasty and the GF option was exceptional. They must be careful because I have Celiac and I didn't get sick. We'll definitely order again! read more

Ordered the combo and portions are pretty hefty. Got a beef bowl a kamikaze fries and a soda for about $17. It's a little pricey for some rice and beef but it's so flavorful. The beef seems to be soaked in spices for at least a day. The fries are crunchy and it's surrounded by meat and sauce. Very tasty. Good thing the soda has free refills. Great place for causal dining read more

There isn't much to chooe from foodwise at the mall. Not so great reviews but the food looked tasty keyword, looked. So we ordered the chicken bowl and the chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich didnt have much flavor. Same with the chicken bowl... it was very blah, not much flavor and not good. The bowl was a scoop of white rice, about 1/2 cup chicken if that, "salad" more like weeds and kimchi. Don't waste your money. read more

You guys call this Korean or Korean fusion I calre garbage and very lackluster. I'm surprised people actually like this spot. The rice on the spam musubi was hard, the fries was bland and I'm not sure why Masago was added as a topping. It just ruined the fries. The soy chicken was drenched in too much sauce and was salty. read more

Their ahi-tuna bowl and beef bowl is awesome, soft hot jasmine white rice with fresh veggies, kimchi, and lots of meat. The seasoning is Korean-like, sweet. Their fries are good too!

Although I frequently visit Valley Fair for my work, I always avoided the food court no matter how many free samples they handed me. Not Sarku Japan, certainly not Sushiritto, and not even Super Duper had enough to entice me to give it a shot. Leave it to KoJa Kitchen to make me finally break this trend. When I saw the under construction sign a few months back where the ill fated Noodle Company once stood, my interest was piqued. In the past, when I actually felt like eating at KoJa, I would visit the Moorpark or Brokaw locations, or even the brand new one in Cupertino. Now, I won't have to stray very far. The one drawback is that all of the items here are a good $1 more expensive than at other outposts, but this is understandable, given the high rent at the mall. However, one might assume that the lower overhead would help offset the cost, but it is not really that big of a deal in the whole scheme of things. As per usual, my normal orders are the gluten free short rib bowl or beef bowl, with brown rice, and sometimes a fried egg. Gluten free offerings are definitely a blessing, as they are often hard to find in the mall. For the short rib bowl, to make it gluten free, the masago is removed, and for the beef bowl, it's the masago plus red sauce. The aioli sauce that comes with the short rib doesn't contain any gluten, so if I order the beef bowl, I always ask them to substitute that instead. They always kindly oblige if they don't suggest it first themselves. I've visited a plethora of locations around the Bay, and KoJa has never failed to deliver. Franchises are typically wildly inconsistent when it comes to taste, but I am quite impressed with the food quality at all of the branches as a whole, and this one is more of the same goodness. Service at this particular spot is hit and miss depending on who is working. The girls at the register are normally decently polite, but not particularly chatty or smily. Perhaps it's because I go fairly late in the evening, and they are just about ready to tap out for the night. Given the choice, to avoid all of the noise and chaos at the mall, I'd still prefer to dine at one of the surrounding sit down KoJa Kitchens for overall comfort, but for the sheer convenience, this is certainly a welcome addition to the food court. read more

Some of the best flavor you can find. Quick, easy and inexpensive. People working there are very kind as well. Also the food is pretty read more

Koja Kitchen - Crispy Chicken Sandwich w/ Kamikaze Fries - Asian Fusion Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Koja is one of my go to places when I want poke or fries. This place is located in Valley Fair which can be tough to find parking. But hopefully after construction is done there will be more parking available. My favorite here is the ahi tuna bowl, chicken bowl, and kamikaze fries. The bowls are about $9-11, which I think is a very fair price for how much food you actually get. The bowls are really filling because there's a lot of toppings that come with the fish and rice. It has seaweed salad, masago, imitation crab, and wonton crisp that give it a nice crunch. I usually get a mix of salmon and tuna with brown rice. The fries are also very flavorful and I love that they use waffle fries! The pieces of beef and kimchi on top of the fries is a surprisingly delicious combo. Overall a solid place to get a meal that will fill you up. read more

To start, the food here is good even if a bit over priced. However, the service isn't and they don't take care of their customers. I ordered two Kojas, a soda, and a beer. After paying I decided I'd like a glass of water to. They told me that it's their polo not to provide water and that I would have to buy a bottle instead. This is the first time I've been refused a water from a restaurant. I ended up canceling my order and seeking a refund. I then went to a nearby restaurant in the food court who didn't think twice about offing me water. Needless to say, i won't be coming back to Koja Kitchen. read more

I love the food! I hesitate to give 5 stars. Uses it's pretty pricey for food court/food truck food. Flavors are out of the world wild.

I still remember back when this place was all the hype. I haven't been back here in ages because I got sick of it, but I saw that they have new menu items so I decided to try it while I was at the mall. I got the ahi tuna bowl, which was about $13 but there was a l ot of rice, salad, seaweed salad, fake crab, and the ahi tuna. They gave a lot of rice and not much fish. To be honest, the fish was a bit watery, not sure if it's because it was frozen before, but the texture didn't seem fresh. Everything else was fine and I did like the red sauce that came with the rice. It's decent, but if I had the option, I wouldn't go here. read more

Great to see another KoJa location inside a mall! Why? It's consistently good food, especially love their beef options. I am unfortunately not a huge fan of their famous rice buns, but glad they have a great selection of other dishes to choose from. Oh, and don't skip kamikaze fries! It's totally delicious and worth the calories! read more

Just okay. Great ideas, gourmet prices, mediocre execution. Original Koja (2): Good attempt but just didn't come together nicely. The rice patties were too crispy so you couldn't eat it like a sandwich. Ate most of it with a fork. The sauce on the meat had good flavor but it was tough and I had to spit a few pieces out. Pork Taco (3): Decent but sauce was too creamy for me. Kamikaze Fries (4): This was pretty good. The beef was more of the ground style but had good flavor. The fries were crispy and hot. I'd only come back for the fries. Rest of the menu is not worth the price. read more

Food like this makes me not want to try new places, makes me regret not cooking instead, and makes me worry I'll get food poisoning. Ordered on a DoorDash and the food came pretty quickly (20 min) so it's puzzling that the fries still came super cold and tasting super old like they'd been sitting around for an hour. The rice patties on the Koja burgers also felt and looked stale - they were tough on the outside and stuck to your teeth the way stale rice does, like they'd been sitting on a shelf since morning. Chicken bowl had the initial taste and aroma of the inside of a refrigerator. The only thing that was ok was the sauce used across the burgers. I would ask for my money back had I not already thrown it all away. read more

I really wanted to like this place... seemed like a cool Korean-Japanese American fusion spot... They have a cool wet bar outside with a fusion cocktail menu... but it wasn't manned, and there's a sign indicating to ask for help from inside... I was just in line for 15 minutes, and would have ordered the first time around if the same items were on your actual menu inside... I had the Korean BBQ beef tacos... they were just ok... you can tell the corn tortillas haven't been heated or steamed... common bro! Every taco eater and cooker knows to at least do that! Probably won't be trying this spot again, but I hope they change for the better read more

My SO and I shared one "The Original" Koja, and we overall enjoyed it! The meat tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and the rice buns were nice and crunchy. The combination of flavors is pretty safe, so you definitely can't go wrong with it. In my opinion, the proportion of rice buns to meat lends itself to having some bland bites where most of the bite is plain rice. I'm not sure what the fix would be to this though, as the sandwich is already hard to fit in your mouth as is. Also, the sandwich was definitely on the pricey side, but the quality ingredients probably play into that. Not sure if it'd be my go-to especially if on a budget, as I wasn't "wow"ed by it. But overall definitely a positive experience and would not mind experimenting with the rest of their menu. read more

Koja Kitchen - "The Original" Koja - Asian Fusion Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Service is horrible! I've been to the location in San Mateo and had no issues but when I was asking about the "v" option listed on the menu for kamikaze fries, I just asked how it's vegan. Good thing I asked, because there is egg, but also, the cashier's attitude just lost my business. She rudely responded, "it is not vegan, vegan is next door" and pointed to the right" No duh loving hut is vegan, but the hand gestures and tone of voice were really off putting. Every vegan and non vegan knows loving hut vegan is vegan. But that's also not the only place. It was really condescending how she said it as if all vegans need to go next door. We come to this mall frequently and I'm fully aware of the options here. But I was thinking of getting a zen koja today and typically people are very friendly and tell you which ingredients aren't vegan and how they can make it vegan. But she basically just turned me away with a horrible attitude. I would replace her. read more

This place is usually pretty good. I love all their food, because it's all delicious! However, I do have to give them three stars because of the inconsistent times. I will show up one day and they're open at 11am. Other times they are open before then, and other times they say after 11. What the hell! read more
