    Service was great, the couple that works there were really friendly & attentive. We ordered Ramen, potstickers and stir fry Udon but I don't feel like those two dishes represented what this restaurant is known for. Ramen was good but the udon was a little bland for me. I'd love to come back and try their famous dishes that they are better known for and give another review.

    Solid place! The ramen was good, broth and noodles were great. It feels more healthy, if that makes sense. The bulgogi was yumm, I enjoyed it! The jajangmyun was okay, kinda bland but it balanced nicely eating with the bulgogi. Service is great, sweet worker!

    Veggie Egg Rolls :)

    What a cute small restaurant. I'm thankful that I didn't go when it was busy. Went here after work and chose a table in the corner. I ended up ordering veggie egg rolls and beef bulgogi. The lady taking my order was friendly and welcoming. When the egg rolls came, I suggest to wait a few minutes for it to cool down because it was hot lol it was really good and I just wanted to order more. Then the bulgogi came in a skillet and there were vegetables in it. Amazing flavor and it was a big portion. I enjoyed the food and I can't wait to come back and probably try some udon :)

    Started to come back (to-go orders only). Much better with their service. Food is consistent. Price has gone up, but still reasonable. Haven't tried their online service since it is easy to do phone order. Usually don't have to wait too long.

    Jam Pong

    I am not native to Fresno. This is my second time in the city and last time I didn't eat out at all, so this was my first experience dining in town. I got the Jjamppong and it was so good and flavorful! It was also very big for the price. It has the right amount of spice and plenty of delicious broth. I also got a side of pickled radish which is always super delicious. My cousins got beef udon and it looked super good. Everything came out so hot and I had to stop myself from burning my tastebuds by digging in immediately! The staff were very kind and helpful when I had questions about the menu. Our waitress was super attentive. Inside was nice and warm which was a great contrast to the cold, foggy weather outside. This place is definitely on my list of places to revisit next time I visit Fresno!

    Rock & Noodles is tucked away in a small plaza but is home to some authentic Korean food. The waitress was very kind and polite. We ordered the Jam Pong, which is a spicy Korean seafood soup, and the Beef Bulgogi. The Jam Pong was fabulous- spicy but hearty with a generous amount of seafood and chewy, thick noodles. The beef bulgogi was also delicious. We got medium spicy but I could've gotten more spice. It was delicious paired with steamed rice! Amazing food, I'm looking forward to eating here again!

    Although the restaurant is small and could benefit from some minor updates, the food was excellent. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. We ordered the beef jajangmyeon, jjamppong, beef bulgogi plate, bacon fried rice, and shrimp fried rice. The bacon fried rice was outstanding, with a perfect balance of butter, smoky flavor, and saltiness. The shrimp fried rice was equally well-prepared. My beef bulgogi was well-seasoned, offering just the right combination of sweet and savory. I didn't try the beef jajangmyeon myself, but my children thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was also impressive; our server was courteous and attentive. Overall, we had a great experience and would gladly return.

    Udon with chicken. Spicy.

    Hidden spot on Shaw and West area. It had been on my book marks for a long time. I love beef bulgogi and was craving it so I opted for that with the veggie fried rice. The combo comes with salad which is just iceberg lettuce but the dressing is pretty good. Rice is ok. Pot stickers are good I tend to get that as an appetizer when I come. Beef bulgogi is a nice sized portion and good. I've had better beef bulgogi though. They get super busy but they're efficient and quick. No fountain drinks here just can sodas. Overall it's just good not amazing but it hits the spot if you're craving Korean style food.

    This place never disappoints!!! Love the food and the customer service is always great. Staff is always super friendly. Their Fire Chicken and Hot wings are definitely a must and will not be disappointed at all! Their Bacon Fried Rice tastes so good and brings back memories to your mom's home cooked meals. Might not be the cleanest all the time but the food will be worth it. Highly recommend!

    Potstickers
    Rebekah M.

    Not for me! Came in and stood at the door for a very long time before someone seated me. Prices are pretty high. I got shrimp and potstickers and both were very bland. I know I should have tried noodles but I was just in an apps mood. The servers didn't spend much time on me. Seemed annoyed I took up a table alone. Had to flag someone down for a box. The meal pictured was 21 and sadly it tasted like nothing.

    Bulgogi Beef with veggie fried rice
    Patrick T.

    I love this place and would recommend it to everyone. This is my second time here. This time I ordered the combination plate with the fried rice which I love and I think it's one of the best around. This fried rice does not rely on bacon and butter for it to taste good. It is so flavorful. There may be butter in this though. But I order it with the Fire Chicken. This was spicy chicken with a similar texture as an orange chicken. However I think they used gochujang as the glaze mixed with ketchup possibly. It was a sweet spicy taste and it was good but I would go with the bulgogi beef again. My wife ordered the beef jjangmyeon, this was tasty and meaty. My wife however feels that it needs a little more salt. We also ordered the pickled radish and kimchi. To me this is a nice little hidden gem. I will be back.

    I came to Fresno to visit my aunt who has critical problems at a nearby hospice care. I went to visit cousins and one of them suggested to try out this place because he loves Korean food and Korean culture. Of course we believed him because he's obsessed with it. The place is very small, but a nice jewel in the rough per se. I ordered a potsticker 6 piece and the chicken teriyaki bowl without any SAUCE on it! It contained vegetables like broccoli and carrots, steamed rice and the chicken. Overall, very healthy considering the other stuff on the menu. Service came from a very polite Asian woman. She dropped our potstickers accidentally on the table but was kind enough to replace them. My chicken bowl without the sauce was about 12$ and the 6 potstickers were 7$. My friends and family ordered the pork bulgogi fried rice combination plate for $17, a beef kalbi with fried rice for $17 and a jajayngmyeon dish for about 15$. Overall, not as highly priced as I thought given the amount of food. But astonishingly the food was good quality. I have had Korean bbq from tofu house where I live and paiks noodle. The difference however; you do not get the kimchi, cucumber radish and other glass noodles as appetizers. The teriyaki chicken bowl without the sauce was excellent. 5/5 very good tasting chicken bowl. Fresh, tasty and delicious. It was a little bland, but I like how after I consumed it, it tasted like I ate a good quality dinner. The potstickers were deep fried which I didn't like too much, but the new ones that came after the waitress dropped them were a little browner than the ones that fell on the table. The pork was good, but I don't like eating pork. It was okay. The beef kalbi was rubbery though. Gotta cook it more, but the place was going to close in 10 minutes and the cook had to rush it, so he did get it done enough. The fried rice was good, but it was not too greasy and seasoned very little. The best dish was mine. Prices were fair and the interior was clean and somewhat delightful to sit comfortably as the tables were separated far apart from other guests. I didn't try the jajangmyeon there but I tried it before. Not a fan, but it smelled very good. Recommended, experience was great, service fast and kind, quality of food to value was good $75 ish total, clean interior, parking was decent and location safe. What I loved the most was the great kind service and how quickly the food arrived (18 minutes or so for all) and given this timeframe, food was excellent except the beef kalbi that was rubbery. Restrooms clean and convenient and ambiance was cozy given that there were other guests. Aroma was amazing.

    Seafood Ramen - Asked for spicy

    I am stuck on the spicy seafood ramen! It's the BEST! Right amount of seafood, tasty soup. Usually have to take half to go for dinner. If you like spicy soups, this is the right choice. You can adjust spiciness to your liking. Staff is also nice and accommodating

    When you order ramen to go are the noodles packaged separately from the broth?

    Do they have rice cakes here, if not does anyone know a place in Fresno I can find them?

    I don't think they do... they have rice cake at Asiana Market. They also have a little mom & pop restaurant attached.

Dishes are $15-$20 compared to $20-$30 at most other korean places in town and the banchan is really good. Like really good. The kimchi is saucey, spicy and a little sweet. I can't confirm it's made in house but considering how yummy it is and that they used to sell their own kimchi when they still had the market I will assume it is. They've been around foreverr and I respect the pricing and Im rooting for them But with that said... I ordered the bibimbap and the flavor was good but the rice was soggy, creating a terrible texture that didnt crisp at the bottom of the bowl despite it coming out sizzling. I couldn't finish the rice. I don't believe this is a regular issue so I won't hold it against them. This is where it will turn into a bit of a blog post. If you haven't been here then this part will offer no value. It feels like as time goes on I am more and more disappointed. Like, 15+ years ago they were a market-restaurant hybrid. Eventually they eliminated the market and were just a restaurant. Bummer. Previous to this last visit, they had a self-serve banchan station. So good. So many options. SSS best in town and the reason I came back. They've swapped it out for a self serve malatang. I'm devastated! So, now it's one serving of three banchan and one of them is literally salted peanuts. That and the soggy rice really ruined the experience but I don't want my review to be clouded because I miss the good times. They're doing what they need to do and I highly value the commitment to reasonable pricing without letting the quality of the food completely deteriorate.

    You know, coming from years of LA Korean food and then Bay Area Korean food, the Korean food you…read moreget from Korea Mart just doesn't hit. What I mean is that there is something about the Korean food made here that just tastes a bit different than what you'd otherwise get or expect from a more traditional and authentic Korean restaurant. That said, Korea Mart seemed to start off as a Korean mini market, with a small focus on prepared meals. That may have gained some popularity and the owner decided to shift their focus more towards the prepared food and less on the mini mart. The problem is that the prepared food, while focuses on traditional dishes, just doesn't taste traditional. There is something off about the dishes. For example, the Jajamyun's vegetables were very off. It lacked zucchini and the cabbage wasn't enough. The kicker is that the onions weren't even diced. The onions were in big chunks-which actually works sometimes, but made the dish feel lazily and hastily put together. Then, the tubboki was too saucy. Flavor wasn't too bad, but was too saucy. Finally, they refuse to give you an itemized receipt until you finalize payment with a tip? They charge $2 for rice when they don't advertise it anywhere and they ask how many you want without telling you, and rice isn't an extra charge in most Korean restaurants. Just overall pretty disappointed. But then again, Korean restaurant in Fresno was probably a "my bad" decision. Oh well. As for ambiance. It felt like you were eating in the back of a mini mart. Super dark from the outside gave it a weird vibe.

    This place has been in my regular rotation since they opened and I have never had a bad meal here…read more The concept is a family style hot pot restaurant where you cook your own protein, vegetables or noodles in a flavored brother. You can pick between 1 and 4 different broths per pot. Each table has one cooking stove top, with the larger tables having two. The broths range from vegetarian to mild, to spicy to meat based. Everything is a la carte with the exception of some premade combinations bundling a variety of like items. There's various meat and veggie combos as well as a seafood combo. I always order the veggie combo which comes with a lot that's easily shareable between 4 people. It comes with various greens, mushrooms, cabbage, corn on the cob, cauliflower, and carrots. I don't eat red meat so I stick to their sliced chicken breast or the shrimp balls. My other favorite is the bean curd sticks which is a good meatless protein option. As for broths my two favorite are the Chinese Healthy Herb and the kimchi. I also like their salted crispy chicken appetizer (popcorn chicken). Steamed rice is also a must for me. They have a dipping sauce bar where you can make your own dipping sauce to accompany your hot pot. With the exception of the broth adding flavor, the meats and all the ingredients you add to your hot pot are unseasoned. It includes everything from soy sauce and fish sauce to garlic, fresh chilis, vinegar, and crushed peanuts. Whether you like to keep it simple, mild, or spicy there's a sauce you can create. The ambiance is pretty nice. It used to be a Chinese restaurant years ago and they did keep some of the things the same. They have 3 different TVs inside. The two larger ones on the walls each play a different Kdrama and the one above the register plays Kpop music videos. They do have one larger table that I think accommodates somewhere between 10-12 people (don't quote me on that) and another that can fit 6 or 7 people. Majority of the tables sit 4 and a couple sit 2. Depending what day and time you go, it can get pretty busy and you might have to wait a while. The staff is always friendly and helpful. At the end of the meal they give you orange slices and hard guava candy. Their orange slices are always so good too and a good palette cleanser at the end.

Our table was in the room near the sauce bar, which was very convenient.

The hot pot comes with different ingredients depending on which one you choose. The vegetables and meats all tasted fresh. The broth itself was good, but on the more neutral side. You can go to the sauce bar and add sauces and other ingredients to personalize the flavor of your broth. Most people in our group enjoyed their food. I personally did not, but that's probably because I haven't figured out how to make my hot pot taste good! You can also ask your waiter for more broth at any point during the meal if you need a refill. This was only my second time having hot pot, and I think I've officially decided that it's just not for me!
