Cheap people think everyone is cheap as them. They brought the food, I didn't get my drink yet. So I asked for it. And this Asian girl asked for the receipt, CAUSE YEAH I SO CAME TO THE MALL TO STEAL A $4 WATERED DOWN SODA. Disrespectful and Filthy Mentality To Treat A Customer Like A Thief. read more

Koja Kitchen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Unami fries: best thing I've ever tasted in Valleyfair Service is really fast, and the food, especially the fries here, is delicious! Staff is very friendly, as expected, and condiments are provided as well. There is free water if you ask for it. Usually when I'm at Valleyfair, I would always take Koja Kitchen into consideration when deciding what to eat. Most of the time, I pick somewhere else because I probably had this place way too much LOL overall I think it's a cute and delicious little place for a quick bite while shopping. But yeah, 11/10 would recommend here for the fries! read more

What a fun, good addition to the Valley Fair mall food court. Was purchasing a gift at YSL, without a lot of time left for lunch. I asked my sales associate where I might eat quick, while she wrapped my purchase. Without hesitation she said Koja Kitchen. Bad as I am at directions in malls, it took me a few minutes to find... but to my best fortune, there was not a long line like I hear there is all the time at this place now. So I stepped up, looked over the menu, and figured the best bet was trying the Koja Original, since it was my first visit. I paid for the item, was handed my little electric buzzer, and the item was ready in around two minutes. I sat down at my table and stared at this little beauty for a few seconds trying to figure out how I should attack this gorgeous looking food item. The assessment didn't take long. I just opened my mouth wide and bit into it. The reaction was immediate. This... was... a taste sensation! My description couldn't be sufficient enough for something this savory. It begins with kind of a "bun," that's a combination of soft rice and a slightly fried-to-crispy rice outside... forming a bun! The insides were comprised of very flavor-full Korean beef and lettuce. The combination of everything was simply sublime. I can see why this place is a popular, new hit. We went back to the mall again just to eat here again the other night. I asked them a little bit about their history, because I noticed the drawing of a food truck was part of their design. And sure enough, that is their history. I guess they were a very successful food truck before they opened up a few storefront type locations. Now I understand there are a few sit-down locations. Seek one out immediately. I promise you, you will not be disappointed in the least. In fact, like me, you will probably be hankering for your next visit very shortly thereafter. read more

Fries were cold when I received it. They also don't give water cups. Food was average, would recommend going to another location.

Love their selection of craft beers! I ordered kamikaze fries and it was ready very quickly but it was room temperature, borderline cold. I ate probably half of it. The next day my stomach hurt so I am wondering if the food wasn't kept at a safe temperature and that's probably why I got sick. Maybe their other dishes are prepared fresh and come out hot but a really big turn off for my first time trying this brand after hearing good things about it and then becoming sick after eating room temp food. read more

DISGUSTING !! No one was wearing hair nets! THIS IS WHY WE WEAR THEM WHEN WE SERVE PEOPLE FOOD TO EAT ! Totally lost my appetite after noticing the Girl over the grill didn't even have her hair tied back properly and this is why you see the hairs wrapped around the chicken! Ps. Idk when baseball caps became ok to use instead of hairnets but I still think that isn't right either! read more

I finally wanted to try out this place out. I got the original Koja burger and kamikaze fries. It burger was ok but didn't like the rice bun and the fries were good but was too much for me. It's was great to try this cool concept but I like the me Korean food the regular way. read more

I tried the koja burger and absolutely hated it. BUT! Everything else is very good. The location at valley fair is very modern looking and definitely sticks out with its very sleek displays and vibrant colors. I've become a huge fan of there fried chicken wings. I always get it with a side of rice with a spam musubi. Oh and just a warning, their musubis are different, like in a good way 5/5! read more

Koja Kitchen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Santa Clara, California

First time trying this place because I've seen good reviews about how delicious it is and I bought the Korean spicy buffalo and kamikaze fries. My opinion, i didn't like both of them because the meat on the wings was way too sweet and on the kamikaze fries the texture of the meat that was given on my order looked and tasted like leftover bits of meat scraped off the grill. I also asked for to go but it was served to dine-in, which I didn't mind. I also bought kimchi, but it was kimchi bits which i was sad since I'm a big fan of kimchi and thought they would sell the ones they put on the bowls. This is my opinion on two of food I bought, I'll maybe give this place another try for their burgers or bowls. read more

Not sure if the cashier girl is having a bad day or she was just out of it, but she pretty much made mistakes a cashier can possibly make, super slow when there weren't even many people waiting, missing order, and mostly importantly give you the wrong change, she didn't even look at how much I gave her and just insert some random amount that appears in her head and gave me the change according to that which is much less, so be careful with your money here Food is too overpriced, 8.95 for a small burger and nothing else, the quality and taste are not worth the money. read more

I've had this twice now. Ordered once in the mall location and then ordered Postmates delivery. Saw a definite downgrade in quality in the delivery, but it was still tasty and not too expensive. I love the kamikaze fries! The tacos aren't mind blowing but they're tasty enough to come back. :) read more

Koja Kitchen is over salted and over hyped. I ordered the Umami Fries and a Beef Taco which was a big mistake. Over saucing mediocre ingredients don't add up to quality food. The fad of putting a Korean spin on Tacos isn't original, it's not 2009 anymore. One star quality for over priced food. Try it while you can and judge for yourself. This company won't be around in a couple years. And what's up with these Elite Yelpers giving this place five stars? These Asian Bots must be brainwashed by their Koja Roach Coach memories. Smh. read more

I order online for a reason and when I get there after 20 min later then they start to work on my order making me wait another 10 min, this they need to improve, foods is good all I can say. If this happen again I'm not coming back, literally they only start working on my order after I get there..... read more

Heard a lot about the hype of Koja since it was the food truck and finally tried it with my friends last week. We got an original koja (which was beef short ribs), a chicken bowl and a side of kamikaze fries to try. First impression: the place looks neat! People are friendly and welcoming. The food: The koja: the short rib koja was amazing. I love the rice patty which is crispy outside but it's not dried or hard to chew. The marinated meat was super tender and tasty! (5/5) The bowl: My friend likes spicy food so she got the chicken bowl and she really enjoyed it. She said it was not extremely spicy but spicy enough to enhance the taste of the chicken. (4/5) The fries: These fries got me full but keep eating! It looks like waffle fries but the sauce on it was amazing. They also but kimchi and ground beef on it so it's a good amount for a side. (5/5) Overall: 9/10: everything was good and amazing, just 1 point deduct because it was a bit hard for me to find a seat nearby the place on the weekend so definitely will come again during a weekday! read more

I'm literally so disgusted. I've never been anywhere where they have MOLD on their Togo boxes.... this is so dangerous and nasty! Im pregnant too so it makes the situation 1000x worst! I had to throw my whole food away. Im so mad. Im never coming back here ever again! I'm fucking sick!! read more

Totally would recommend the KoJa rice sandwich. AHHH so amazing. They also have these tacos with pulled pork. That's sooo freaking good and just everything here is amazing. read more

Got the original Koja burger. Super large chunks of beef inside and very large! Cool concept with the rice bun! I recommend asking for the gochujang sauce on the side. Really great flavor as well! read more

The food court at Valley Fair is VERY nice so if you haven't been there lately it's definitely worth checking out. We decided to try Koja Kitchen for something different. My husband had the poke bowl which he really enjoyed. It included "the best rice I have ever tasted" (quote from my husband). I had the beef short rib bowl which was full of flavor but contained too much rice. (I, unlike my husband, was not as excited by the large scoop of starch!). There are some other interesting choices on the menu so I'd like to make a return trip. read more

Koja Kitchen - Short rib bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Santa Clara, California

My daughter and her friends ordered from this place via DoorDash. We ordered Kamakazi Fries,Brown Furikaki Rice,Crab Salad,Extra Short ribs,2X Beef Bowl,1X Chicken Bowls. The Beef Bowl and the Chicken bowl was very bad to borderline awful. Both the chicken and the beef were over cooked and was of a very cheap cuts. Covered with hot sauce (probably to cover up the bad meat), piled with salad (to make it look as if your getting a huge serving), rice was old and dry. I dont know about the other food that was ordered as I did not taste any of it, after I lost my apatite. I would not recommend this place to anyone, I will never eat here even if it was free. Cheap food, poor quality and high prices. I cannot even come close to calling this food palatable. read more

I recommend the koja special. The rice burger is crispy (but could be crispier, I remember a crispier bun from their food truck), and the meat is tender and juicy. Service is quick though not especially warm. read more

We had the original Koja. The beef sauce is delicious and tastes a lot like a teriyaki sauce. The bun is made of rice paddies and this is pretty unique to this restaurant. I really liked the rice bun. I really liked the taste of the sandwich and will definitely come back again read more

So disgusting. I ordered the beef plate and IT CAME WITH A BUG. Completely horrifying.

Terrible sweet food. I don't know why every freaking item has to be so sweet. Taco was sweet and so was the burger. How can you put sugar in every damn item? I never understood people's affinity towards sugar in items like burgers and taco. Hard pass. Never stepping into another Korean joint again. read more

My partner got food poising from this place. No lie. She ordered the chicken rice bowl with greens delivered through door dash and it ended up coming out both ends for a good 48 hours. Any time I bring up Koja Kitchen she gives me a scowl now. Not going to take our chances again. read more

This place sucked. Cost $55 for two people, sold me some milk drink that was just milk with whipped cream, and overall sucked. Nah son. Nah. read more

Overall really good! The food came in about two minutes. Just one really chewy and inedible meat of meat, assuming it is just fat. It is definitely best to eat the rice bun as soon as possible before it becomes hard. Also, the price is a bit iffy...$10.50 for something fairly small, but will be eating it again! read more

Koja Kitchen - original koja - Asian Fusion Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Very friendly service today. Unfortunately the short rib was not tender and came out cold on my Koja. I would skip the rice buns and go with the bowl next time. They were OK but hard to eat as a sandwich. read more

This place is really good for a small treat, especially if you like the sweet flavoring in meat, then your in for a treat, it's really crunchy, like it's been fried almost, the kamikaze fries are soggy , basically they put a lot of stuff and sauces on the fries that basically overtake the fries, the flavors in the kamikaze doesn't really mix well, I wouldn't say it's worth the price because it resembles something you'd probably get at a food truck. But depending on who you are as a person, it might be good. read more

This place is a modern establishment with a broad asian menu. The food selection seems good but the dishes we got was a scrambled mess and the rates was mediocre at best. read more

Kamikaze fries sounded so promising. There was no flavor and the kimchi and chili sauce had no spice. I won't be ordering that again.

Nice staff, great food. The bowls are bigger than necessary. The portions are huge compared to the prices. I had the short rib bowl and it was delicious. read more

Overpriced and atrocious flavors that don't blend well. I ordered the beef and chicken tacos. The sauces are a bit rancid. The garlic wing sauce tastes like sugar read more

As a regular of Koja in this location, I gotta say this place have a long line, but it move very fast. I really like the chicken bowl here , they do give a significant amount of meat, which is excellent. Do give it a shot if you visit valleyfair. read more

Food tasted bad. Way too much sugar in the sauce that on the meat. When it started to cool down, the meat tasted like sugar paste. When ordering a bowl, you can choose either brown rice or white rice, however, the cashier didn't even tell you or ask you about your choice and just gave you the white rice. And no fried onions in it. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

I usually go to the other location in SJ. But luckily for my family and I, we saw that the location at Valley Fair was open. The food was great, but I give two stars to this location because of their poor customer service from one of their workers. A woman by the name of Lauren gave my family and I horrible service. Not once did she look us in the eye and overall, was very unapproachable. Honey, if you don't like your job, then quit. Don't ruin other people's experience with your bad attitude. On the other hand, Christine was wonderful at the register and forewarned my mom that the food might be too spicy for her. My mom ordered her food without the spicy sauce and absolutely loved it. Christine also apologized to us for our bad experience with the other worker. Thank you Christine for the help. read more
