    2 kinds of Korean fried chicken  Honey butter and sweet and spicy
    Alex E.

    All time favorite home cooked Korean Food with warm service. We tried the wings for the first time, we loved the crunch and flavor.

    Soup

    Small place, but so lovely. I've never had gimbap with raw fish before. The best of both worlds. The marinated salmon is incredibly flavorful with a great texture, and the spicy tuna with it is awesome. The Korner Special Roll has great flavors, but it's a bit too big in my opinion since it's hard to take a proper bite. Next time, I'd definitely go for the salmon gimbap or the salmon bowl instead. Friendly people and a great vibe. Can't wait to come back and try more! Soup was a bit salty but refreshing!

    Tteokbokki Lunch Special
    Olivia F.

    Amazing, fresh, Korean food!! The lunch special is an amazing deal with just enough of each item PLUS an udon soup on the side. The gimbaps are absolutely beautiful and filled with each ingredient. The bolgogi gimbap is slightly sweet and tastes really good with the spicy mayo. We also tried the hotteok for dessert and it's chewy, crispy, and filled with sugar and nuts/seeds - not too sweet and best when it's hot. The lady at the counter was super sweet. Can't wait to come back!

    Spicy pork.
    Bob H.

    Little spot that offers big Korean flavors. I had the spicy pork lunch special. For less than 20 bucks, I got a delicious bowl of udon noodle soup. The noodles had the perfect, chewy texture and the broth was light yet rich. The lunch plate also came with a pile of sweet, savory spicy pork; kimbap; gyoza; and a refreshing salad. I thought it was delicious and a good value. Dine-in or take-out. Highly recommend.

    Fried chicken lunch special
    Billy L.

    My partner and I love finding places that offer a lunch special with a little bit of everything. A lot of spots only do lunch menus on weekdays, so we were happy to find this place offers their lunch special seven days a week. We came on a Saturday around 2 PM and it was pretty quiet, just one other family there. Service was great. The staff was friendly and checked in often without being overbearing. I ordered the fried chicken lunch set which came with fried chicken thighs, classic kimbap, salad, gyoza, and udon soup. It was only $16 which is a really good deal for how much food you get. Everything was tasty. I especially liked the salad dressing. It was light and refreshing, similar to the carrot-based ones you get at Japanese restaurants. I had read a review saying the udon soup wasn't good, but I disagree. It tasted just like what you'd expect from a solid Japanese spot. The only downside was that the chicken thigh was a little dry. I asked for the sauce on the side since it looked really sweet in the photos, and I'm glad I did. It had a flavor kind of like honey walnut shrimp, which isn't my favorite but not bad either. Overall I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back. Next time I'll probably try the spicy pork since that looked really good.

    Kimchi Fried Rice (with Spam)
    Ayush N.

    On last Saturday evening, came here for dinner. I got the kimchi fried rice with the add-on of spam. It comes with complimentary soup. (I think it's some sort of tofu soup). Everything was splendid. It felt very hearty. The spam I think made it much more filling but I also liked that the flavor of the kimchi stood out. The service was great, I got the food quite fast. And I liked the decorations for the place.

    I've ordered for pick up a couple of times and dined in with my family once. The food is always delicious and service excellent. The jap chae is my favorite! I hope they stick around for a while!

    This is a nice small restaurant with tasty food. The owner is a very sweet lady who was running all the tables. We enjoyed the katsu curry, masubi, and sushi roll we ordered. The katsu had such nice presentation! Although we didn't love the flavor of the udon noodles, we're willing to try a different soup next time. The prices are good, too! It's definitely worth a visit.

    Classic kimbap roll
    Alice H.

    I'm so bad at taking pics before I eat I only snapped a pic of the Classic kimbap roll :( I'm Korean so my expectation for Korean food when I eat out is usually pretty high bc nothing compares to my mom's home cooking. Me and my boyfriend only got the kimbap rolls here for a quick snack bc we were in the area and driving back down to SoCal. We got the classic, bulgogi, and spicy pork kimbap roll. The pieces are huge btw. The classic one was delicious and had familiar flavor notes to what I'm used to. I like how the ingredients inside were all thinly sliced. The bulgogi one was good too but tasted a little bland for my liking. The spicy pork I did not like at all. I don't think they should make a kimbap with that meat. It's too sweet and doesn't match the other ingredients that go in the kimbap. We still ate it all though. Pretty cute little Korean spot if you're in Livermore looking for a snack. It's also pretty effin expensive. My total was like 44-45$ for 3 rolls

    Japchae
    Cody T.

    My gf and I decided to drive down after finding this spot on yelp while we were at the gym. Korner's roll and bowl is conveniently located in a pretty empty plaza. So upon arrival, there was a lot of parking available as it seemed to be the only restaurant around. Upon arrival, we were quickly seated and were given menus. They offer a variety of rice bowls with different proteins (spicy pork, soy salmon, beef, etc), kimbaps, sushi rolls, and Korean appetizers like japchae or dumplings. We ordered the spicy pork rice bowl, soy salmon bowl, and the japchae. The japchae was cooked in a sweet soy sauce and was very fragrant. The rice bowls were really generous in portions that came with a small salad, soup, and some fruit. The food was so delightful, we ended up ordering some kimbaps to go to enjoy as a midnight snack. The service was great too! Being such a small location, you definitely get the attention for a pretty detailed service. Overall, korner's is a great place to get a small bite and quick fix for Korean food. For their quaint, home cooked style meal, and prices that's fair; I'd definitely recommend korner's.

    Korner's Roll & Bowl opened where Manpuku was. Inside dining only. Though Japanese food is listed, the Korean version is served. Ordered when served. Food came in 10ish minutes. Decor slight. Offerings (Korean): appetizers & sides, desserts, mains (katsu, teriyaki, bibimbap), kimbap, lunch specials, rice bowls, drinks, noodle bowls, drinks. Bites: lunch specials-beef bulgogi (18) -2 piece gyoza: small, crunchy dumplings with tender fillings. Tastes freshly made -1/2 classic kimbap with fresh fillings of burdock, carrots, ham, imitation crab, cucumber, egg, pickled radish. Different flavas layered & distinct. Deliz.. -tasty mixed green salad with "orange zest?" dressing, orange sections -beef bulgogi tender juicy slices with sesame oil & other flavas. Generous portion. -small udon noodle soup in soy broth garnished with green onions & fish cake pieces. Yummy! 4.5 stars lunch specials worthy. Good choice to experience many aspects of Korean cuisine. Fresh!

    Spicy Pork lunch special udon included!
    Karen S.

    Decided to try a fairly new Korean spot today. I got the spicy pork lunch special and it came with all that's in the pic! Everything was delish, great service and fast. I'll be back to try the other items.

    Korner's Special Kimbop ($17).
    Navin K.

    This restaurant replaces Manpuku, an old favorite of our family from the time we lived nearby a decade ago. I visited with our daughters a few weeks ago while their mom was on a work trip, and they were both quite upset that their favorite "cheep cheep noodle" restaurant was no more (the owners, who treated us like family, retired and moved). We decided to stay and give the new place a chance. We ordered udon bowls, kimbop and a couple of appetizers. The food was good and I enjoyed it, especially the fish cake that was served with my kimchi udon bowl. But the girls were not in a good mood and picked at their plates. We didn't linger long. Bill was about $70. Service was efficient but business-like. Likely won't be back with family.

I would have ordered their pancake if they have kimchi pancake. That's the only thing caught me off guard at this place as they only offer seafood pancake and no other variety options. The other thing where it would make the whole experience more enjoyable would be the banchan selection which was "very" limited to 3 dishes of all preserved - kimchi & radishes only. This place is good if you want quick in and out hot pot of soup and a value meal. If you are looking for some dining experience this is not the place.

I ordered their Komtang for the first time and went with the combo, which included small intestines, tripe, tendon, and brisket. My favorite part of the meal was actually the kimchi. They offer both regular and radish kimchi, and both were well-prepared with great freshness and rich flavor. The soup came with noodles already inside, along with a side of rice. There was also a bowl of green onions where you can add as much or as little as you'd like. You season the soup yourself with salt and pepper, which lets you customize it to your taste. Overall, the soup felt very healthy, light, and clean. You can taste the pork broth, but it isn't overpowering at all. Very comforting and satisfying.

    This Japanese food was hands down the best I have ever eaten! I ordered their Ten Don (tempura…read moredonburi) and signature katsu don. The food arrived very fast and it was hot and freshly made. The katsu and the tempura was insanely crispy! The ambiance was also very good. It was not loud at all and I could talk in a normal voice and everybody at my table could hear me clearly. Lastly the servers were very nice and patient when I was trying to figure out what to order. Overall I had an amazing experience and will come back again with my friends and family.

Katsudon: Overall Flavor: Like Homemade (9/10) Texture: Pork is a bit tough & quite lean. Breading is lightly crispy. (7/10) Sauce: Light (8/10) Rice: Mid Onion: Soft & cooked Garnish: Simple green onion Saltiness: Mid-Salty Sweetness: Lightly sweet Gyoza: Its like all other Gyozas (kinda oily) Service/Ambiance: Server: Prompt & Friendly. Price: Ok. You order / pay first at the front counter & theyll bring it to your table. Ambiance: Spacious & bright. Mid size seating areas. Parking: Nearby spots are reserved for neighboring businesses. Park at the free parking Livermore Parking building nearby. Short walking distance. Overall, minus the pork leanness, it fits my flavor profile. May come back again if I'm around the area.
