    Seafood pancake
    Dharma M.

    One of the best modern Korean restaurant in town. We reserved couples days earlier. It was busy when we arrived. The interior is modern looks and doesn't assembled a korean restaurant. The menu is pretty comprehensive with option from tang, bimbimbap, grilled, tofu soup, and appetizer. Each person have to order one. The order come with individual tray for each one with set of banchan. The banchan is refillable except the abalone if I am not mistaken. This is the first time I have abalone as part of banchan. We ordered seafood pancake, kunjip tofu, octopus bimbimbap, seafood tofu soup, grilled markarel, and spicy pork bulgogi. The foods were yummy. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and it was yummy dinner with good service.

    Amazing!! Definitely a bit on the pricier side but I think it's really great for special occasions. I love that they have the hot beverage machine outside for while you wait to get seated. They have the milk coffee, black bean drink, and hot chocolate. I loved the black bean drink as it was so delicious and creamy! The inside has an elevated and upscale aesthetics. There were waiters going around with the banchan dishes for any refills. Each person is required to get their own entree. We got the wagyu galbi, galbi jjim, grilled mackerel, and seafood tofu soup. My favorite was the wagyu galbi. It was high quality, tender, and full of flavor. Wonderful experience! Will be coming back!

    A friend told us this place had quite the wait so plan ahead to get on the Yelp waitlist or get there as soon as they open at 11am to get seated. We did the latter and Immediately got seated. You get a timed spot for 75 mins. Food: Our group ordered the mushroom and snow crab tofu soups with medium spice preference. The entrees came with a side of several banchans. The banchans were unlimited and you could ask for more, standard in most Korean restaurants. The crab was sumptuous and the soup was flavorful without being too overpowering or spicy. The portion sizes were generous. One of the banchans were quail eggs which was very new to me. I loved everything! They provided a complimentary dessert. It was a red bean treat which was not too sweet and just the right size to conclude the meal. Service: service was efficient and attentive. We were offered Banchan refills multiple times by their staff carrying around a cart of all their offerings. Ambience: The dining room is upscale and the decor is quite nice - dim even during the day with their tinted windows all over. All their tables are standard booths for 4. We were impressed by the cleanliness and the brass utensils. Parking is available in their adjoining lot. Overall, I'd give this place a solid 4/5 for maintaining high quality across their menu items and for their upscale dining ambience.

    Hands down the best Tofu Soup spot in the South Bay. Worth every penny and every minute of the wait Food Quality Seafood Tofu Soup: Perfectly balanced heat, savory depth, and just the right amount of umami (not overdone!). Generous mix of snow crab, shrimp, clams, and scallops. Wagyu Galbi (Grill): Slightly smaller portion than expected, but the quality speaks for itself. Tender, not greasy, with a beautiful hint of smokiness Wagyu Seolleongtang (ox bone soup): Incredibly tender meat. We appreciate the quality although it's pricier than the OG Kunjip location Sikhye Sweet Pumpkin: A traditional Korean sweet rice drink blended with steamed pumpkin. Tasty, but at $10/bottle... Banchan (Side Dishes): Impressive variety and above average quality. A standout on its own Service Experience Weekend arrival at 11:30 AM, already a long waitlist; expect 30-45 minutes before being seated Hostess was warm and welcoming despite the rush Our server: a lovely Korean auntie who kept our table spotless throughout the meal Banchan refills were generous without even having to ask DIY leftover policy: They hand you a to-go box and bag so you pack your own leftovers Value for Money Pricing skews on the higher end, but the quality of ingredients and meat cuts justify the cost Not a budget meal, but a worthwhile treat. Cleanliness Restroom check (always a kitchen tell!): Two stalls on the women's side. The larger one we got is spacious and well-maintained Minor note: paper hand towels would be a welcome addition after washing up

    Service was really good and ambiance is also really nice. Basically no wait on a weekday night This place was between 4-5 stars for me but I think I ordered the wrong thing. We got seafood pancake that was 5/5 - it had a really great texture. We also got the non alcoholic honey drink which was also good but not worth 10 dollars imo I got the tofu soon soup with mushroom, this was a bit of a let down . It was good but nothing special at a higher price point.. I think it needed a bit of salt and for the onions to be cooked more but after i added salt it was p good. Partner got the waygu bibimbap and that was allegedly good and I liked the sauces that came w it. Banchan was definitely elevated but aside from being fancy it tasted p similar to reg banchan it was a fun experience. I'd wanan come back and try the tofu bibimbap or maybe the large black cod option.

    Second time here and the wait was just as long as the first time (2+ hours for a party of 4 on a Friday evening). Food and service were great but wait was long and parking lot fills up fast. There's a shopping plaza next door where you can park and walk over. Our server, Tong, was very friendly and welcoming. There's a cart that comes around and you can request more ban chan. Everything tasted really good. Overall, good experience and the aesthetic it's nice inside.

    Nice, modern design inside and out. So busy on a Wednesday that we're given 75 minutes for our table. But the menu was clear and organized so it wasn't tough to decide. We had plenty of time to enjoy our dinner. Servers were all friendly and pleasant and the food was very good. Portions were more than adequate.

    Daniel K.

    Very tasty food. The service is top notch, on par with the finest restaurants. Kudos for having the high chair set up already for my toddler even before we got to our table, and also a free rice ball for her which she devoured. The price is very high, but we left satisfied. I would definitely come back for a special occasion

    I came with my wife at 5. this was right after opening and the line was already HUGE. We got immediately seated though. Their decor is truly stunning. Gold livery and beautiful utensils. The booths are spacious and tables very clean look. The prices are a bit high. But what we got was well worth it. They have the best banchan I've had in norcal, hands down. Seafood pancake?? Eggs!? refills 5x. The man entrees are also very good. I really liked how tender the meat was in my seoullangtang. The service was sublime. So fast, they came rapidly to refill us. 5/5 no questions asked. Do yourself a favor and come here.

    (TOGO) Seafood Tofu Soup
    Kim l.

    Finally got to try this place for my birthday! It is very spacious inside and a lot more upscale than the other Kunjip location in sc. service was attentive and food came out quick. Snow crab twigim: 5/5 nice and crispy and very tasty! Seafood Tofu soup: 4/5 I had a sip and it was rich and flavorful. Wagyu galbi: 3/5 my daughter loved it but i did not like the taste of the galbi. It was thick cut. I prefer LA galbi. Wagyu seolleongtang: 4/5 good but definitely a lot more bland than mine. Abalone galbi tang: 4/5 very good rice broth. They didn't skimp on the meat. Could have done without the abalone. Banchans were plentiful and yummy! Complimentary cube dessert: interesting dense cube, a bit sweet. Food is pricey $200 compared to the other Kunjip but it's good. Ps if you order to go you can order tteboki.

    The food and the service here is great! The wait was about 30 minutes but there is seating outside the restaurant. They have very good food and yummy ban chan. I really liked the galbi and the seafood pancake. Kunjip provides a very luxurious experience, with really nice and heavy cutlery and wonderful service. I would say their food is a little bit on the sweeter side, but still really good.

    Seafood tofu stew
    Andy L.

    9.0. dinner, one of the best we've had in a long time. We ordered seafood pancake, seafood tofu stew, and wagyu galbi. We loved all of the dishes but would be down to try other stuff in the future, such as the oxtail stew and sea bass. The restaurant was very well thought out. Insulated metal cups that kept drinks the right temp. Great banchans and variety. The banchan cart. Every dish was well-executed. Great service. Nice decor. Can't ask for more.

    Do you have some dishes are gluten free?

    Best to ask the person serving you. They know the menu.

    Is it a good idea and any space for 6 adults and 5 toddlers to dine in?

    Yes, tables were large and there were big groups with children when we visited. Seemed family friendly but that could be because we visited for lunch hours. They do have alcohol on their menu so if bringing children, I'd advise lunch time or early… Read more

    Do you take reservation?

    They have yelp waitlist.

    Do you have seating for eight people?

    Their largest booth fits 8.

    Are their tables also or just booths? Due to a disability I can not sit in a booth.

    Do you open on Thanksgiving?

    We will be closed on Thanksgiving 2024, and reopen on the following day on Friday.

    Can I bring my own wine? If so then what is the corkage fee?

    Hello yes you certainly can! As of now during soft opening, it is $25 corkage fee, but price is subject to change later on. Thank you!

    Do they take reservations for lunch on weekdays?

    Yes, but it depends on how many people in the parties

    Is the mushroom tofu soup vegetarian?

    Hello, yes it is—it is also served with its own separate set of vegetarian banchan (side dishes), if requested. We also have various vegetarian friendly options including Kunjip tofu, mushroom jeon, tofu bibimbap, and mushroom bibimbap. Thank you!

There were several tables filled up already, and they just opened at 11:30am. My bf was craving tofu soup so he got the original tofu soup with beef and medium spice level. While I got the bulgogi pork lunch size, and that was flavorful and not really spicy. We enjoyed the banchan, and it was really interesting to have purple rice. It was pretty different. I definitely love fluffy white rice more, but it was good to try the purple rice. The place was modern with a touch of warmness and traditional Korean flare. Service was attentive and friendly.

I picked this restaurant because of its location, its spacious parking lot, and that they're not too crowded on weekends. We got a corner table inside a big room. Not only were they not completely full, the spacing between tables were pretty good as well. Staff were super friendly. It's a perfect place for us to catch up with each other without feeling rushed nor guilty. All four of us ordered the organic tofu soup. I had the mushroom one (medium spicy). It came piping hot with a raw egg. It was the perfect spicy level for me. (One of us ordered hot, and said that it was quite a bit more spicy than she expected.) I loved the assorted mushrooms inside my tofu soup. My friends all enjoyed their selections as well, and we loved the texture of the purple rice. The amount of ingredients inside the tofu soup was pretty generous. We also got refills for our banchans. There're 5 different kinds of banchans. They're on the sweeter side and not as flavorful as I would like, though. Overall, it's a delicious and satisfying lunch, and we all had a good time.

The…read moresetup is actually pretty cool because you get your own individual hot pot so you don't have to share broth, but there's still a shared grill in the middle for the BBQ. The all-you-can-eat is the move here. The meat quality is solid--the wagyu beef and spicy pork belly usually hit the spot on the grill. On the hot pot side, the pork bone broth is a safe bet, and the spicy broth actually has a decent kick to it. Also, they have those little fried buns with condensed milk that are dangerously good. They give ice cream at the end with a cone which is sweet dessert. The vibe is super lively and loud, definitely not a quiet dinner spot. They even have those robots rolling around bringing out plates, which is kind of funny to watch. Service is quick; you just order everything on your phone and it shows up fast. Just remember the 90 minute limit. It's clean, modern, and you'll definitely leave feeling like you need a nap. Great spot to hit with a group if you're looking to get a lot of food without breaking the bank.

    I assumed they are newly opened but now im unsure since there are reviews way back from 2019. But…read morethis is as my first time coming here and im wondering if I would come back - Staff is super friendly and attentive - Broths are very bland. I understand that it might be intentional so it can be customizable from the big variety of sauces at the sauce bar. But I would say its very lacking. No salt, no depth. Almost like flavored water. - Portions are okay. It's AYCE so it makes sense that their portions are smaller. but it is much smaller than places ive been to. Please be mindful when you decide which meat to be on the grill as majority of them is to be for hotpot. so it will dissolve on the grill the moment you realize it. - Meat quality is fine for AYCE. However there are some thats a bit questioning. The spicy beef is just the thinniest slices that are marinaded in the chili oil. But after cooking the texture and even flavor is very very off. I highly recommend getting the Finger Cubes BBQ (i think), nice blend of fat and meat and def the most flavorful. - ORDERING SYSTEM is a nightmare. Since the portions are so small, you would have to order multiple rounds and there is a time block apparently so you dont over order. But the system is so slow and not intuitive at all. At first i thought they are just opened and would give it some time to improve. But now i dont see myself coming back at all.
