My server Johnson really elevated my experience! Me and my girlfriend came in and he gave us the best service.

2nd time here, both great experiences. definitely recommend trying both the table grill and charcoal. Nate was the perfect tableside server, very hospitable and cooked the meat perfectly! read more

Seymus was a great server!! cooked everything to perfection and was super kind. Highly recommend!!!

Really good especially the soup. The setting was nice too, just a little loud. I liked the banchan especially the kimchi. The Olhso classic combo was great just a little pricey like the rest of the menu. read more

Nope. Never again. Just went for a friends retirement party. Despite us calling to say we would have 7 instead of 6 and being told it wouldn't be an issue we were still seated at a table designed for 6. Which ok that's fine we don't mind squeezing in but that whole thing took about 20 minutes to figure out with no help from the staff where eventually we just grabbed our own chair. We got two signature combos and the pork platter. Every time we had to ask which meat we were being served and what the recommended condiment was. Every. Single. Meat. Which if you've been there is a lot of different courses. Our friends wife asked for more salad before the meats came out as we were given one bowl for 7 people and we had to ask 3 more times about it. They also never refilled any baanchaan or even asked if we wanted anything else. the server dropped one of the meat signs that was touching raw meat into the kimchi (to her credit she did swap out that kimchi), and also dropped a few pieces of cooked meat on the table. Stuff happens but ... and while some people ordered drinks many were just having water and you guessed it not once did they refill water without us having to ask and when we did ask it seemed like an annoyance to them. So at the end of the meal they told us that the next party had been waiting a long time which was about 15 min past our supposed end time (which mind you we started 20 min late). There was no large party waiting and when one of our party went back in to use the bathroom she said a party of two was now seated and more than half the restaurant was empty. Then lastly maybe bc it was the end of the night I saw more employees walking outside, chillin, smoking, talking than actual customers. Which was pretty odd. I'd say maybe it was an off night but the last time I went for lunch it was the same experience and for spending over $1k yea sorry I'd expect you to refill water and be attentive. read more

Service was excellent. Seated right at our reservation time. From the hostesses to waiters all were great. Soju and beers were all bottles so nothing to add I was not that impressed with their meat, the presentation was great, setting and ambiance were great too, but taste was just mediocre especially at that price. read more

Came on a weekend and it wasn't busy however they were unfortunately short staffed that day and so we had to wait a bit. The server cooks for you here and each piece is cooked perfectly according to cut. I loved the sides they provide: shiso, lettuce, radish, kimchi, bean sprouts, dipping sauce etc. We ordered one set of wagyu beef and one of pork and both sets were delicious. All the cuts were good and we didn't need to order additional. The soups were also very rich and so tasty! The server/owner was very nice and patient with us. The decor is so nice with the art projected on the walls. This restaurant is perfect for spending time talking on date night while slowly enjoying your food. read more

My experience here was certainly a mixed bag. Made a dinner reservation and when we arrived on time were made to wait for 15 minutes before a table cleared for us which didn't really feel like we had a reservation. Compared to 10 Butchers, the banchans are definitely a bit lackluster but still decent. The meat presentation is top notch though and I've never had a kbbq experience where I was told what kind of sauce or condiment to pair with which type of meat which was a fun experience. Def a but pricey and a bit far from where I live, but good experience if just considering the food! Oh the portions are quite small :/ read more

Really nice Korean BBQ place. All the food is high quality and presented beautifully. The prices are on the expensive side for what you're getting though, and taste-wise, the dishes fall short of cheaper, more authentic Korean versions at other restaurants in the Bay. We ordered the ribeye, which they grilled for you tableside, the japchae noodles, and the kimchi stew. The ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The kimchi stew was good but I wish the flavor was deeper, with more umami. And the japchae was pretty standard, also a bit light on flavor. Service was attentive although a bit awkward at times. read more

Food- good (some of the beef cuts were great!). Service- great (very attentive, they stand there cooking for you.) Did it blow me away, no :/ but that's okay! A bit pricey for what it is. It's very fun if you're there to celebrate a birthday, holiday, people visiting from out of town. If someone invited me, would 100% say yes. I went with 5 other people, so 6 of us total. We did the pork platter and beef platter, we had everything! Again, food was good and some of it was even great (the beef, especially). It's not all you can eat, quantity was good for the 6 of us, but if we wanted to EAT, it wouldn't be enough. The quality of what you get for the price is what doesn't quite line up for me. read more

Olhso House - The sides. The thinly sliced radishes were delicious. And the side sauces. - Korean Near Me - San Mateo, California

A pricy splurge for KBBQ but well worth the experience and quality. I love that the higher end KBBQ places really focus on the quality of the meat and also cook the meat for you. I'd skip the alcoholic drinks here as they're just ok and not a great value, but would definitely do the premium meat menus again as they were excellent. read more

Finally was able to get a reservation here after being turned away for walk-in a few months ago. Food is of great quality and at a price that justifies it when compared to AYCE bbq places nearby that are charging basically the same. The classic set was quite filling for my party of 3! Their thin sliced oxtail is very unique, and it's so nice to find thick cut beef tongue here! I do want to take this chance to give a heads up to any new patrons though - Walk-ins are not frequently available. The first time I was here, my group was turned away despite the restaurant being...empty? lol This time we made a reservation not knowing that the non-grill tables are à la carte only with very limited options, and you NEED to reserve the grill tables to order the sets. Thankfully the manager onsite today was very understanding and went out of his way to help get us a table after we got here at 9 pm and found out the hard way. Thank you! For anyone making reservations though, make sure to choose the right one! read more

I went here for a small celebration so we went here on a Saturday for dinner around 7pm. There was no wait that day and I was surprised about that since most restaurants usually have a wait around that time. Anyways, we were quickly seated and we ordered the Tteobokki, Japchae, Eonyang Bulgogi Australian Wagyu, Butcher's Steak US Wagyu, Hot Stone Kimchi Stew, Rice, and a Hwachae Punch. The staff also asked us if we wanted them to cook it at the table for us or cook it ourselves. We ended up letting them cook it while we watched and ate our food, so that was nice being able to multitask. Everything here tasted authentic, but I wasn't expecting the stew to be so spicy. The stew is packed with meats and veggies so it was comforting and tasty with a kick at the same time. I'd recommend this place! It was a nice experience and all the food tasted good, BUT their spicy food items were all too spicy for me. read more

Move over San Ho Won, there's a new upscale KBBQ shop in the bay! Olhso is located in Downtown San Mateo, across the street from a free public lot, though there is street parking in the area. They have two menus: the grill menu for cooking at the table, and the other menu where everything is cooked in the kitchen and then brought to your table. The former menu requires advanced reservation, but it's nice because your server will cook it in front of you. I've been on two separate occasions and tried each respective menu - can't go wrong with either! The food is delicious and the quality is unmatched. Definitely more of a spot to take people you're trying to impress or for a nice occasion. read more

Best. KBBQ. In. The. Bay. We booked the table grill for a dinner for two, and it was absolutely delicious from start to finish! The restaurant looks deceptively small with its garage design, but the moment you walk in, it's like you're transported to another dimension entirely. The walls are covered in moving projections that make the whole space feel incredibly immersive. We went with the OLHSO Classic for 2-3 people, a signature course featuring 7 different cuts paired with a stew. It's a lot of food, but it didn't matter because we wanted to try every single course. With the table grill experience, a server cooks everything right in front of you, checks in on your preferred doneness, labels each cut, and recommends the chef's sauce pairings. Ours was super attentive, conversational, and genuinely passionate about the food. He even shared the story behind the restaurant and Chef Han Sungil, who was apparently supposed to be on Culinary Class Wars as a White Spoon (I think)! We also ordered their famous seafood pancake, and it was easily the best seafood pancake I've had. 10/10 experience. We're already thinking about the next time we visit! read more

We ordered the beef signature. It gave a sample of beef from head to tail that fed 5 people comfortably. The seafood pancake was delicious. Highly recommend. The House sauce and plum sauce for the meats was delicious. The stand out meats were the short rib, rib finger, and extremely thin sliced soy glazed oxtail. Johnson cooked it all for us perfectly. Great service and attentiveness. The cold noodle was a good way to wash down the meal. Highly recommend! read more

A very nice addition to San Mateo as they were only open for dinner. They are open for lunch now. I got the OLHSO classic and was enough for 3 people. The food came out promptly but the food was made so slow that we sat around waiting for the food to get cooked. The waiter (owner?) was moving from table to table and felt understaffed. The price was steep but the quality makes up for it. I would only return on special occasions. read more

Was really excited to try this, but left pretty disappointed. Loved the interior and ambiance of the restaurant. Sides were really good and was a good start to the meal. However, staff was extremely rude (they would roll their eyes every time we asked for water refill or napkins) and portion sizes were really small for the price. Would not visit again. FOOD: OLSHO Signature (4/10) - Most portions were small and most cuts were overcooked / tough to eat. For the price, definitely not worth it. read more

We came back to try it again with a different menu and it was so much better this time!

The seafood pancake was terrific as well and service was top notch. read more

Just stopped for dinner this evening and enjoyed a delicious meal. We were promptly seated and were welcomed into a space with interactive projections on the wall. The ambiance and music were perfect. A great mix in r&b and hip hop and clean decor. Our table had a spread of banchan awaiting us and did not disappoint. We were greeted by our server/chef Seymus and after some deliberating we opted for the Ohlso Signature. Our selection of meats came out beautifully presented and Seymus moved quickly to be begin cooking (yes, if you're at a grill table, someone on their staff will cook your meats for you). You can also opt for the kitchen menu which has food prepared in the kitchen. Seymus was awesome with cooking and providing recommendations on what condiments/seasonings would best compliment the various meats. The selection was impressive and had some prime offerings. Above all we were impressed with the awesome customer care Seymus provided during our meal. We will definitely be back! read more

There is a parking garage nearby and B street which is closed to traffic provides a nice promenade while waiting. Reservations is a must since this place can be fully-booked for months. When making reservations, specify if you prefer: Table Grill which makes for a longer dining time (maybe a couple of hours) and their servers grill meats at your table or Grill-Free for quicker service where dishes are cooked over their kitchen's binchotan charcoal. Our daughter treated us for dinner and opted for the Signature Set which is good for our party of four. The selection of meat in this set includes about ten different cuts of beef. You also get a choice of two stews for the table. We also added a side order of pork belly. The meats are cooked by their server and they provide a variety of side dishes to complement, balance, and contrast the flavors of Korean barbecue. The place is spacious and one does not see or smell smoke from the table grills. It's certainly a good place for a long conversation with great company. I'd be interested to try their live-fire menu and savor charcoal grilled dishes from their own binchotan grill. read more

Thanks to IG and our Amex benefits, we decided to give Olhso a try. My husband booked the table grilled experience and our server Johnson was fantastic! He was friendly, attentive and totally hustled between tables through the night. We got the classic set + seafood pancake + a side of rice + 2 drinks and our total was ~$275. For the price point, I wished the experience could feel a little more high-end. Yes, there some cuts of meat that were good but not amazing. The only cuts that really stood out to me were the beef tongue and the thinly sliced oxtail. The banchan was underwhelming and the salad basket had 2 perilla leaves. You would think paying that much you would get a little more veggies. Overall, I give this place a 5/5 for service but a 3/5 for good. It's worth the try but I wouldn't be returning. Also, do not book at prime time dinner. We were stuck looking for parking in the parking lot for almost 20 minutes! Not the restaurant fault but just an FYI if you do decide to come here during peak hours. read more

Went to Ohlso Korean BBQ for a birthday dinner and honestly... it lived up to the hype Food quality was solid, but yeah--def on the pricier side. Our faves were the galbi and the US wagyu ribs (so good, super flavorful). The beef tongue was a bit too fatty for us and came slightly overcooked. Naengmyeon was just okay, nothing special. Ambience was cute and vibey, and service was quick and efficient. Overall: 4/5 -- great spot for a special occasion, just be ready to spend read more

One of my favorite chefs from Korea (black pork omakase in Jeju) is in the Bay Area!!!! Their flavors here are on point and I'm obsessed with their presentation. Their ingredients are clearly high quality cause their seafood pancake was loaded with huge seafood pieces, I haven't seen this anywhere else in the Bay Area! read more

Ambiance inside is modern/upscale Korean bbq, though the animations on the walls are slightly distracting / no windows in the restaurant. Definitely come with a group of 6 so your table will have a grill. The side dishes are definitely a highlight (with complimentary soup that came in 2 flavors), and really reminded me of 10 butchers in terms of presentation and variety. But the meat quality/taste honestly fell flat, we ordered a variety of beef and pork meat, and the pork cuts especially were pretty dry (some beef cuts were delicious, but others were also dry). The red dipping sauce and yuzu wasabi both paired really well with the meat though. I was a bit surprised that lettuce refills were additional charge, but luckily I'm not a big lettuce eater at kbbqs. Our server did a great job tending to the grill, but I did notice that every time we asked for some side dish refills (twice throughout the meal), she looked pretty impatient with a slight eye roll, which slightly dampened the experience. We were also rushed out towards the end (there's a time limit), even though there were a lot of empty tables around us. Drinks were aesthetic, but also a bit lacking (mine was pretty watered down). Overall, this place has gotten a lot of hype from social media, and while the interior and presentation gives an initial wow factor, the rest of the meal didn't live up to the hype, and I will most likely not return. read more

My bf and I were very excited to try this spot out. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The meat quality was excellent and the chef cooked the meat very well. The drinks were very unique and strong. Our server greeted us promptly and we did not have to wait that long for our food to arrive. When you enter the restaurant you can see the chef cooking meat behind a glass window! The restaurant was well kept and had modern feel. The walls had a projection of Korean art displayed all around the restaurant. We drove all the way from San Jose to eat here and left with happy bellies. We wanted a table with a grill but only a few tables had them. I recommend reserving at least 1 month in advance if you want a table with a grill. read more

Growing up in SoCal has spoiled me immensely as the population of kbbq options there are infinite. So naturally, after hearing about Olhso House, I jumped at the opportunity to get a res with some friends and boy, was this place GREAT. The ambiance was beautiful and dimly lit, establishing a mood of, oh this is nice, but not pretentious and I'm going to sit here and eat for a couple hours on end until my stomach hurts kind of feeling. And that is exactly what we did. We got the table grill experience for 6 people and ordered the Olhso House signature set menu + à la carte pork belly + beef tongue, japchae and kimchi pancake. This was the perfect amount, with even some leftovers to take home. I was quite impressed by the quality of meat and how even the marinated ones were not overly seasoned. The banchan (especially their white kimchi) were all so divine. To top it off- our amazing server Seymus made the experience extra memorable and patiently described each different meat cut to the table. A KBBQ experience to remember! Will definitely be returning here and am excited to take my parents here on their next visit in a couple of weeks! read more

Olhso House - Korean Near Me - San Mateo, California

My friends and I were really excited to try Olhso House out from the photos of the food and interior decor. We booked a couple weeks in advance, and the reservation was easy to do online. Parking in the area can be tricky during peak time, but there are a lot of meter and garages in the area. Upon arriving, we got seated quickly since we had a reservation. Our party got the classic set and the pork platter with a side of tteok-bokki with cheese. The portion of meats provided were pretty tiny, so everyone just had bites of each meat. The portion size made it felt like it was a tasting menu, especially when you are splitting with a bigger party. The server was nice, but it was a bit slow between each meat. It felt like we waited 10-15 min before the server came to add the next meat on the stove. They also had to check on the salad since it didn't come out until later. And they served the soup towards the end as well. My party felt the soup was on the saltier side too. We were also surprised when the tteok-bokki came out without the cheese, and they had to bring it back to add it. Overall, our party had a higher expectation since the atmosphere and vibes was supposed to be an elevated dining experience. However, we did feel disappointed with the portion of meats for the price, the timing of the services, and the unique of the flavor. When choosing and entering an upscale restaurant such as Olhso House, you would expect a much pleasant and exceptional experience. But our group was left feeling unfulfilled and disappointed with the food, compared to other kbbq spots in the bay. read more

Olhso House - Classic Set - Korean Near Me - San Mateo, California

My husband took me to Olhso House for a Valentine's Day dinner and it was pretty good! Although we didn't book the grill table, it was still an overall good experience. We were seated right away when we walked in. The restaurant didn't feel as busy which was nice. We were given our menus and after a few minutes, the waiter came by to take our orders. The waiter didn't really know the drinks as well when it came to the hot teas so he had to get the manager to give us more info on it. The manager kindly explained to us the different teas they had and we decided on the non caffeinated carrot tea. It was interesting taste since I never had something like this. What we ordered: Beef tongue: So yummy!! Perfectly cooked and the scallion & lemon pairs so well! I can definitely order few more plates of this if I wasn't full. Beef tartar: The presentation and the flavor was great! I was a bit confused because it came with an ice cream cone but the waffle cone & beef tartar actually tasted good! Seafood pancake: Another delicious dish! Always goes well with any dishes. The pancake comes with the sauce. Bulgogi: Soy marinated bulgogi was yummy! It goes well with rice. So much flavor and it was definitely mouth watering good! Butcher's Steak: The meat was so tender and it went well with the salt as well! Oxtail Soup: The soup tasted super comforting and delicious. There was a huge pieces of oxtail in there and super meaty. My husband also enjoyed it as well! Overall we enjoyed our meal and would love to come back again! read more

Came here for a date night. Made a reservation here thinking I got the grill table, but I didn't look carefully. Beef tartare (5/5); I really like the presentation of this dish. The beef had a great chewy flavor and the pear was refreshing. The quail egg added creaminess to the meat. Seafood pancake (5/5); Very delicate and plump. Beef tongue (5/5): This was thick, chewy, and flavorful. Short rib (5/5); I love how chewy this was and how it was fall off the bone. read more

4.5 stars. A relaxing, delicious dining experience. Great drinks, great banchan and great service, with every grilled meat better than the last. The only downside is the price, as it's not cheap. If you have either the American Express Gold or Platinum card, you will receive a $50 credit (semi-annually) and $100 credit (quarterly), respectively, as both cards offer Resy credits, and OHLSO House is on their list. You have two reservation options - the inner grill tables (they grill for you, at the table) or the outer tables (they grill your meats in the kitchen and bring them out to you). Of course, for the full experience, most people reserve the inner grill tables, which is why they're booked out months in advance. Reserve early. OHLSO House might be our new favorite KBBQ restaurant, replacing 10 Butchers (but we're not snobs, we like Goku too!). Starting with the cocktails, the Hwachae Punch, Bam Old Fashioned and the White Lotus Makgeoli were all great. We selected the Signature menu and added on the Mul Naengmyeon and Japchae. It was also my daughter's birthday so they graciously provided a complimentary Happy Birthday Myeok guk. The banchan was on point, and Doenjang Stew and Soondubu Stew were also included with the Signature menu. As mentioned, every grilled meat was better than the previous one. The Signature menu includes 10 meats, ending with an innovative presentation of oxtail. It's thin-sliced, cross-cut, grilled and served with a dipping sauce. Each diner has a selection of three flavor enhancements - soy/ponzu, wasabi and salt, which are each very good, but we all really liked the fourth soy-garlic-onion-rice vinegar-sugar-grated radish dipping sauce (apologies, I've forgotten the name of it). Tbh, with so many meats, we also forgot the names but remembered the textures and flavors. So good. Unfortunately the ice cream machine was temporarily out-of-service, so it was disappointing not to be offered a dessert, considering the price point. To end our meal, we had the pleasure of meeting Chef Han Sungil. One possible area for improvement - perhaps retraining the staff not to hover. Besides our main server, there were other support people helping. One in particular just kind of stood next to our table, poked our meats once in a while, would go away and then come back and hover again. It felt a little awkward and weird. We highly recommend OHLSO House. Just maybe find someone else to pay for it. $523 -$150 Amex Resy credits including 25% tip. read more

Dropped in for lunch as a party of four and didn't realize the BBQ menu is dinner-only -- but we stayed and I'm so glad we did. The interior is brand new and super sleek, with Korean-themed visuals projected across the walls -- a really cool touch that sets the mood without feeling gimmicky. We ordered the bulgogi jeongol (bulgogi hot pot) with veggies, glass noodles, and an extra meat add-on. It came with garlic, ssamjang, and lettuce wraps so you can build your own bites. We also shared the beef tartare and kimchi pancake to start. Every single dish impressed -- great balance of flavor, fresh ingredients, and noticeably high-quality meat. Service was outstanding. Seymus took great care of us -- attentive without hovering, helpful with cooking guidance, and quick to jump in when needed. Since we were the only lunch table, the experience felt especially personal. The meat quality alone convinced me: I'm definitely coming back for dinner BBQ next time. Parking: Located in downtown San Mateo, so plan for street or paid lot parking nearby. read more

What a really cool place for Korean bbq! We ordered the Olhso whole short rib. So tender and flavorful. Beef tartar cane in a sugar cone and raw egg yolk. The sever mashed the cone over the beef and it gave the tartar a nice contrast in texture. Waygu bulgogi was amazing and delicious, so tender and tasty. Beef bone Jim was also very well executed. The potatoes had an amazing flavor. Seafood pancake was fluffy and seafood was not overcooked. Really the best seafood pancake I've ever had. Pork jowl was also very tender. It tasted great with the coarse salt. Overall a fabulous place for Korean bbq. read more

The food was good, both cuts of meat we chose were flavorful. They also gave a ton of sides and would keep asking us if we wanted refill. The rib soup was just ok, I think Daeho makes better soups. The japchae was probably my favorite. The interior is really modern and with the high walls and circulation, it did not smell as much as other kbbq restaurants. Service - they cook for you, so you usually don't have to worry about the meat being overcooked. One server came to ask our server to do something, unsure what, but said she'll take over grilling the meat. Her customer service was horrible, she kept leaving and coming back multiple times with the meat on the grill. She was all over the place... She slightly burnt it too. I'm not sure what was going on that night, but please train the staff. That was so unprofessional and a mood killer to our $200 meal. read more

Stepping in reminded me of a club . The decor is very nice, they have kpop playing, and have a projector playing on the walls. I just joined a friend who had a table, so not too familiar with the menu. But there's two different dining ways. Ones a set course menu and the other a la carte. My table did the a la carte. Ordered tongue, tartar, short ribs, belly, a tofu soup, and had a beer and sake. Waitress was really helpful with recommendations. Unlimited lettuce for the wraps was nice but could've been a bit faster or given more at a time. Enough for like 4 wraps and then had to order more. Would def come back to try the course menu. read more

Overall, food was good (flavorful), ambience was nice, the walls.. interesting concept, and the staff were all friendly. We were able to reserve a grill table for 6 on Thursday evening. Our waiter Seymus was accommodating and gave us a good suggestion on what to order since it was our first time at the restaurant. For 6 ppl, we got the signature set and a few a la carte plates - seafood pancake (great), beef tartar (great) and japchae (good). Seymus actually cooked for us which was nice, because it could get chaotic sometimes trying to reach and cook for your group and eat all at the same time. Unfortunately, after leaving we realized we did not receive our 2 soups that came with the signature set... which was upsetting. And to think of it, we were not asked what soups we would like with our meal. read more

Nice Korean restaurant in downtown San Mateo. It started with food Truck before the restaurant open. We made appointment coiple days before for f Dinner. Two table option. Grill and no grill. The grill one seems more popular where the server will still the meat at the table. The othe option is the will cook the meat at the kitchen and bring the it to your table. Looks like the two options have two different menu. We arrived for dinner and the restaurant was pretty packed. I was surprised that the restaurant is pretty big with plenty of tables. Some banchan are unique and the rest are common one. We ordered olsho cut whole shortrib. Beef tounge, pork belly, pork jowl, beef bone jjim, beef tartare, seafood pancake and japche. The food was ready pretty quickly. The highlight is the shortrib and pork jowl. The beef soup was good and the Oxtail was tender The rest of our order are ok. The japche is a bit too sweet for me. Overall Good food but not that good service with force 20% gratuity as we are 7 people. I expect better service. I am not sure what the servers were busy with. Some just walking around. They didn't pay attention on basic stuff like the water. I expect there is dedicated server for tables. read more

Amazing Korean BBQ place in downtown San Mateo. The price is a little steep for the portion but the quality of the meat is really good. I wish there was more variety in terms of texture of the meat but overall good flavors and many banchan (side dishes) Also I like how someone is cooking for us but the staff that cooked for us did overcook some of the meat. Definitely get the seafood pancake and if you come in a group, order the set options read more
