    Food AMAZING!!!! The service was great! The prices are fair given the amount of food you get!!! I will absolutely be back!

    Omg! I was craving beef bulgogi and had heard this cute little Korean spot opened right by Bakersfield College, so obviously I had to go check it out! From the second we walked in, I noticed how super clean and tidy everything was (love that for us). The host Temma was sooo kind and walked us through all the ins and outs of the menu, which made it feel extra welcoming. I went straight for the beef bulgogi because my tastebuds wanted a flavorful party. it was honestly sooo delicious; perfectly savory, tender, and just chef's kiss! My coworker ordered the fried rice combo with shrimp, chicken, and beef, and omg the portion was generous and looked sooo good too.They also have the cutest Korean sodas, I tried the strawberry soda and it was such a fun experience! It's definitely a must try!

    Ca.e at noon on a Sunday and we had the place to ourselves. Highlights - service amazing, food delicious, Banchan fresh, we will be back. Unfortunately this will be a special occasion place because the prices are high. Katsu, Tteokbokki, eel, soup and 3 scoops of rice (no alcohol) was over $110. They did give us a free appetizer becuase we bought 2 entrées. While there was plenty of food I wasn't sure if I wanted to pay that again. I love eel and it was delicious. We will come back but it would make more sense to have a smaller portion and a smaller price for lunch especially if you are alone.

    Finally got a chance to try the new spot on the Eastside!!! Formally known as Shoyu Sushi the new place is now focused on Korean food dishes. Still owned and operated by Sunny and her daughter. The inside has had a make over and is a lot brighter. I went with my best friends/family so we were able to order a few dishes to share. The service was spot on. Super friendly and really great knowledge of whats on the menu and how everything is prepared. The dishes were super flavorful and cooked to perfection. My favorites on this trip were the spicy eel and beef bulgogi. Actually they were all my favorites lol. I'm looking forward to going back to try more of their creations!!!

    Fried pieces of cod
    Sadia H.

    Huge portions. Impeccable table service. Staff is endearing and informative and wanting to share knowledge about cuisine and culture. Prices feel reasonable. Clean and cute ambiance. I was not a fan of the fried shrimp. The cod appetizer pieces were nice. I was disappointed in my vegetable japchae--greasy. The banchan was well-presented and ok. The vegetable egg rolls were crispy. My friends said their dishes were decent.

    This place is across from the BC football stadium. A nicely remodeled restaurant, making some exciting authentic Korean food. The waitress is super sweet, her mom is the chef, who also dropped by to say hi. The waitress told us her mom literally made the kimchi this morning! We started with the cod appetizer, it was soft, juicy, with a savory dipping sauce. The main attraction was the eel and crab. The buttery side eel came on a sizzling hot plate. It was out of the world good. The marinated blue crab comes in a gentle sweet hot sauce, it is fresh, and loaded with flavor. The short ribs were also very well done. The clear noodle dish with vegetables also impressed my buddy. So, great food, great service. You have to try this place!

    Beef dumplings and Dragon roll.

    Our first time to the Korea House was fantastic, it will not be our last. We ordered several appetizers, tempura shrimp, a dragon roll, beef dumplings and seafood ramen. The seafood ramen had shrimp, muscles, scallops and was delicious. Our server was the cooks daughter. She was such a sweet waitress. She told us about the different foods. Some had a Chinese influence. The ambiance was very nice. It was a welcome respite after being outside in the hot Bakersfield sun.

    Food was very delicious. Everything was great highly recommended the fried mandu (they actually gave us the marinated ones according to our waitress) the staff was great and gave us so much food

    Came here for my birthday and the dishes were absolutely delicious! Everyone loved their meal and the service was great.

    Raw marinated crab (the sauce is to die for)
    Sonia R.

    We were greeted before we even walked into the restaurant. Very friendly servers. The place is very clean, modern, and nicely lit. We ordered bulgogi, rose tteokbokki, raw marinated crab, and the spicy grilled eel. The only thing I'd ever had before was the bulgogi, everything else was a new experience. The server came over and showed us how to eat the marinated crab. The sauce on the crab is to die for, I could eat anything covered in that sauce. It was super flavorful and just enough spice. The eel was definitely interesting. It was super tender almost jelly like and it went perfect with the lettuce wraps and banchan. There were so many more dishes I wanted to try. The servings were big. We'll definitely be back to try more of the dishes.

    Jamppong
    Visal L.

    The best Korean food in Bakersfield! I ordered the jjamppong and can confidently say it's one of the top five I've ever had. The broth was rich and flavorful without being overly spicy. I was also pleasantly surprised that it came with two large shrimp. My wife ordered the chicken katsu and loved the crispy crunch of the chicken. The katsu sauce was good, although she prefers it served on the side as a dipping sauce rather than poured over the chicken. The service was easily 5 stars. My wife and I also loved the banchan, especially the pickled onions, radish, and jalapeños. They even gave us extra to take home! Highly recommend this restaurant.

The moment you sit down and hear that first sizzle on the grill, you know you're in for more than dinner. You're about to enter a delicious little universe where time slows down, everyone leans in, and the table becomes the heart of the evening. There's something magical about cooking together at Kalbi King. One person becomes the self-appointed Grill Master, another becomes the Sauce Explorer, and someone inevitably declares themselves the Chief Lettuce Wrap Architect. Before you know it, everyone's laughing, flipping, grabbing side dishes, and building the perfect bite like a tiny edible masterpiece. And the meats--oh, the meats. High-quality, tender cuts that cook beautifully right before your eyes, caramelizing into smoky, juicy perfection. The kalbi is the undisputed star, but the pork belly, bulgogi, and marinated chicken hold their own like a talented supporting cast. Each bite feels like a round of applause in your mouth. Don't even get me started on the sides. The banchan lineup comes marching in like a whimsical parade--kimchi with personality, pickled veggies bursting with tangy charm, fluffy rice ready to join the party. Everything feels fresh, generous, and crafted with care. But the real reason Kalbi King stands out? It turns a meal into a family moment. You're not just eating--you're sharing stories, dodging smoke puffs, laughing at slightly overcooked slices, and cheering when someone nails the perfect grill timing. It's the kind of place where you leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. If you're craving food that's flavorful, interactive, and memory-making, Kalbi King Korean BBQ is the crown-wearing hero your family deserves.

One thing I noticed was the mix of different tables and chairs throughout the restaurant. It almost feels like a hodgepodge of furniture, but somehow it works and fits the contemporary vibe rather than feeling out of place. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. We received our food surprisingly fast, which was a nice bonus. There was a mistake with one of our rolls, but the staff handled it well. They quickly remade the roll and brought us a replacement at no charge, which I really appreciated. One of the highlights was a custom roll with jalapeño, avocado, and asparagus. I added cream cheese and had it deep fried, and it honestly tasted like a sushi version of a jalapeño popper. It was absolutely amazing and something I would order again in a heartbeat. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Good food, good service, reasonable prices, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely recommend giving Kuma Sushi a try.

The parking is a bit of a challenge right now due to the construction in downtown. However, there is a lot right next to them that you can park in and there is also parking on the street directly in front of their door. The restaurant is modern and decorated in Asian theme. The bathroom and the restaurant is very clean. And the staff was very attentive, professional, and very pleasant. I enjoyed the food I ordered via DoorDash, but this time I got it fresh right out of the kitchen and the counter, and it was amazing. We started with the jalapeño bomb, and mixed tempura in a size small. Both those appetizers were delicious and perfect for sharing. Then we ordered a California roll on soy paper, the Kuma special sushi roll, and the creamy salmon roll. Everything was fresh and very shareable. We could've easily shared our meal with two other people needless to say we had leftovers to take home. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to going back. There are other things on the menu such as fried rice, udon, and teriyaki plates. They also had a couple of desserts, so I am definitely planning on trying one of those. Enjoy!
