The inside is packed with tables but more geared towards smaller parties. For bigger parties they may need to move the tables together. The inside is very cutely decorated, and you get a large assortment of ingredients for your soup. Pricing is pretty standard its about $15.99/lb. I enjoyed the hotpot, came out super fast (~10 minutes) and they gave large bowls for sharing between my partner and I. I think the soup broth flavor was not as savory as I had hoped but still sweet and good. While everything was very good, this place is in a very competitive area of food spots. I did enjoy the food but I wouldn't say it's the best of the best soup broth. They have about 5-6 different flavorings/cooking styles but i think some places tend to have more. I enjoyed the food and I think I would come back to try other things. I think they do have a large ingredient selection making for a unique hotpot experience.

We were looking for Korean food that is NOT AYCE, and some we wanted to try were closed on Sunday…read more We found this place in a food plaza where I have not been in a while. I have seen this restaurant many time when I came to this little food plaza but the label of "Katsu" turned me away. But I learned they have BBQ also so decided to give it a try. It was Sunday so I reserve a table just in case, but really there was no need as it was not busy. It happened to be World Cup Final so they turned on the game, but there is no sound... LOL The whole place was playing Kpop. Being a big BTS Fan I was okay with it. The main thing is the food. We ordered the stone bowl bibimbap, bulgogi, seafood pancake, japchae, seafood tofu soup, and half/half chicken wings. * Seafood Pancake - 5 stars - one of the best seafood pancake we have tried for a LONG while. * Beef Stone bowl bibimbap - 5 stars - plenty of topping, the burnt rice on the bottom was just amazing. * Seafood tofu soup - 4.5 stars - it was good, but not 5 star good. * Japchae - 4 stars - it needed more pepper. * bulgogi - 4 stars - it is personal I prefer unmarinated meat, but it was decent, if they would give us more than just 1 piece of romaine lettues that would be better. * Fried chicken - 3 - well, the 1/2 with sauce was too saucy, and the original version needed a bit more taste, but okay. service was a little slow, and the amount of banchan was pretty sad, but it does not take away the deliciousness of the food. Will we go back? Yes, but we will likely not getting the fried chicken, or perhaps if possible sauce on the side.

Amazing Hainan chicken, sauce, and service…read more Hainan chicken soup- my little boys favorite- comes with a simple white broth chicken soup with Napa cabbage and white rice noodles. 1/4 of a Hainan chicken with peanuts and sauce. $15 5/5 Fried capelin (whole fish) $10 5/5. Nice crisp fish not too greasy, can eat the whole fish no bone issues. Very pleasant and easy to eat. Marinated duck $18 4/5 not sure if I just prefer roasted duck, but it is as advertised. Hainan chicken like duck, complete with firm skin with a tinge of sweet soy marinade. Comes with sweet white vinegar Waitress was very nice for Chinese restaurant- came and offered hot tea and water with straw for my boy even though we were just eating in a little after ordering to go. Bathroom is very clean for Chinese restaurant 5/5

We came back to this place because we were craving Hainanese Chicken Rice and Laksa Noodle Soup…read more These were the three dishes we ordered: First was the K1 Special Laksa Fish Noodle Soup, $16.50, or 招牌叻沙魚綫面 (叻沙湯). I had tried this dish before and enjoyed it, but I didn't remember the broth being so light. I thought the dish would've benefited from a thicker and creamier broth. I think adding some coconut cream to increase the creaminess would've made it better, imho. That said, the real highlight of this dish was still the fish noodles. They were these long, tube shaped pieces of fish cake that acted like noodles, and they were delicious and felt high in protein. The bowl also came with a good amount of toppings. I especially loved their beef balls because they were so firm and almost crunchy when I bit into them. There was also shrimp, Napa Cabbage, and other toppings that made the bowl feel hearty. My mom got the K8 Slice Beef Laksa Fish Noodle Soup, $16.95, or 肥牛叻沙魚綫面 (叻沙湯). This was very similar to the K1, but the main difference was that it came with thinly sliced beef on top. The beef looked really good, and honestly, I kind of wished I had ordered this one because I like to try something new. It also came with the same delicious fish noodles, so this is probably what I'll try next time. The last dish was the K9 Signature Hainan Chicken Over Rice, $15.50, or 招牌海南鷄飯. My only gripe with this dish was the same as last time. The chicken was chopped right through the middle of the bone, so there were little bone shards mixed in with the meat, which I hate. I really didn't enjoy having to worry about biting into one while eating. Aside from that though, I thought the presentation was much better this time around. It also seemed like they gave us a little more chicken, and the meat was incredibly juicy and succulent. I especially loved how the skin was glistening with the oil. I also loved the whole presentation of the plate, which came with the Chicken and Rice, some kind of Cucumber Salad, Quail Eggs, and a small bowl of Broth on the side.

Delicious bibimbap! We frequent other Daeho's so we were…read moreskeptical about this one in the food court. I'd had their bibimbap here 3 times already, and it's consistently good. A little pricey, but if this is what you're craving, you won't be disappointed. The mix of flavors are on point. The nurungi/crispy rice at the bottom not as crispy as I like it, but there. We also tried the clam Kalguksu. This was ok. There were plenty of clams, noodles were good, but the both was lacking a little. Might try the Galbi jjim here next time. This is a food court, so it's self serve, but I guess you save on tip!

He introduced me to their Stir Fried Jjampong, which is a Korean style stir fried seafood noodle dish, and the Stir Fried Jjampong is loaded with squid, mussels, clams, shrimp, and prawn. The squid especially blew my mind. It was fully cooked, yet somehow still unbelievably tender and soft. It was amazing. The dish also came with a generous amount of vegetables like bean sprouts, carrots, and onions. And the noodles were sooo good. They were thick, bouncy, and chewy, and they soaked up the sauce perfectly. Speaking of the sauce, it was out of this world. It had the absolutely perfect balance of sweet and savory with a nice kick of spice. But what truly made this stand out from the other Stir Fried Jjampong I've had was that the flavor felt white pepper-forward, which really elevated the whole dish for me. Absolutely amazing! The portion size was generous too, and even the to go packaging was unique and immaculate. Definitely a 5 star meal. I'm really thankful that my nephew introduced me to this place. This will definitely be my go-to spot whenever I'm in Dublin.

I stumbled upon this place while looking for Taiwanese bentos for dinner as the place I usually…read morefrequent by 99 Ranch unexpectedly closed. However, I'm super happy I found this spot, since it is my new go-to for delicious Taiwanese food. Parking is limited, as it's located in a business park area of Pleasanton, and the restaurant itself is small. There are a few tables to dine in if you wish but the vast majority of people take their food to go. This place operates cafeteria style, where you choose your primary protein for your bento, and the sides are all laid out in front of you to choose from. You can pick up to 3 sides. You can just tell everything is made with care and all the ingredients are super fresh. The family speaks mandarin as well! Since it was my first time there, I took a look at what others were ordering and it seemed like one of the popular sides was the bean sprouts. They were indeed super refreshing! I went with the tofu for the second side and for the third side, I chose the braised egg for my husband and the eggplant for me. Both were excellent choices and the tofu was so good, and even had a bit of a kick. The bentos survived the drive home, traffic and all, and held up well in my insulated bag. The meats were tender and there was plenty of rice to soak up all that delectable sauce. My husband enjoyed his pork chop too. I can't wait to return to order some more bentos soon, and I'd definitely recommend Bentolicious for healthy, delicious, and filling bentos that are made with love!

My friend suggested me to go here and told me that they serve authentic Taiwanese bentos. I quite…read moreagree because when I tasted their food, it feels like something that you have during lunch and even at home. Nothing much about the atmosphere, but they do have seatings both indoor and outdoor. Preferable I wanted to stay outdoors since it's more spacious than inside. It was too many people when I arrived. It's even smaller inside. It seems that this place is mostly meant for takeout. Basically, you're given an entree of choice including rice and 3 other sides of your choice. I selected the Ichiban Fried Chicken. I think it's something I've been seeing from other Taiwanese restaurants. Is it popular in Taiwan? I think so, because it's really good! I also got three sides including tofu, eggplants, and steamed vegetables. They're really fresh and delicious when I had them. Rice is something too because it tastes better than the one we usually have at home. About the drinks, there weren't many options besides water, sodas, teas, and other beverages you can see from the refrigerator. That's alright, but I kinda wish they have specialty ones, which is something you can see from the menu. The cashier was very nice to us. He probably remembered one of the customers sitting outside, walked up to them, and gave them their order. He seems to be very accommodating. He even asked some people to leave from the patio since it's only reserved for customers. Anyways, I'm looking forward to trying more options when I come back. However because they have lunch breaks between 2pm-4:30pm, I most likely can't be visiting during weekdays since I do work and that they might close when I arrive. I'll try my best to return.
