    Stumbled upon this place for lunch. I was wanting to try something new, so I stopped in here. I started off with a beer. I ordered the potstickers, even though they're not handmade here they weren't bad. Next I ordered the spicy pork hot plate with cheese on top. This was so good! The melted the cheese with a torch. The lighting and decor is nice They brought me dessert and I was ready for a nap. I would recommend this place. I'll be back soon.

    Had family dinner here, and we loved it! We ordered the most popular dishes, and were satisfied! Delicious! Staff was extremely friendly and sweet, ensuring customer satisfaction. Trying the soup next, definitely going back!

    For my first review of 2026, I wanted to start on a positive note. My family finally brought me for dinner for my birthday and I was so happy we finally got to visit. We had originally planned to come for my oldest son's birthday in January last year, but there literally was no where to park, so we couldn't come til it slowed down a bit. Food was delicious and they don't have a huge variety of items, so it's not hard to decide what to order. The staff were super nice and on top of it. It seems like a family owned business. Restaurant was nice and clean. It's not a huge space, but they do take care of their guests quickly. Parking is probably the only issue if you're trying to come out on a Friday night for dinner or the weekend because there's not too much parking and there's several establishments nearby, but I highly recommend you try this place out!

    First off thank you for hosting my mom aunt and fiancée for a cute and quick Mother's Day lunch! Very comfy vibes in there and the service was very quick and efficient! Our food also came out quick and the portions are HUGE! The star of the show was for sure the ghalbi but everything else was also so delicious. If you're ever in Bakersfield please go check them out for quality food for a great price especially with how the portions are your dollar will go a long way!

    Absolutely AMAZING food!! I can't even begin to describe how delicious everything we had was. I like spicy food, but can't handle too much and I thought the jalapeño cheese curry katsu had the perfect amount of spice. The spicy pork hot stone was very cheesy and yummy as well, but it was a bit bland and needed salt/pepper to make it better. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other items on their menu. The service was great. Staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant space is quite small, so it definitely had more of a cozy and intimate feel.

    Korean food is a must- this place is a vibe and an experience all in one. Authentic, tasty, delicious, and filling Korean dishes, that makes you feel like you're actually in Korea. Service is good , fast and friendly. The meat is tender and good. Was so full; felt like it was Thanksgiving and we all needed sweatpants on. Good portions! The only con is that it is expensive; average dishes are between $20-$30; a lot of extra costs for add on compliments such as egg and curry sauce.

    I have enjoyed the food. I'm Korean American and I'd say it was authentic and delicious. It's in a convenient location for me. They do have parking . It's next to zen spa near McDonald's on coffee. The service was good a the place was clean.

    The food was delicious, but the service was lacking. We were in the area and decided to stop by for dinner based on the high reviews. We came on a Friday night around 7:30pm and had to wait 10-15 min. They take your phone number and will call you when your table is ready. The decor is cool. The interior makes it look like you're dining next to traditional Korean houses. It did take a while for the food to come. It looked like we were part of their second round of dinner and they didn't seem to be able to handle all the tables that had ordered at once. We got the LA Galbi and Steamed Dumplings. The portion size of galbi was good for the price and the flavor was on the sweeter side, but tasty. The dumplings were a solid choice.

    This Korean restaurant doesn't offer many complimentary side dishes, and the service was just okay. Bibimbap (Hot Stone) - 3/5 Wouldn't recommend. The dish was pretty bland and they didn't give any extra sauce, so I ended up pouring some kimchi juice from the side dishes to add flavor. Also, there was no crispy rice at the bottom of the stone bowl, which was really disappointing--that's usually the best part! Beef Short Rib Soup - 5/5 Surprisingly delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the beef short ribs were super tender and packed with flavor.

    Restaurant Theming is incredible!

    The food was incredible!! I had the Mushroom Japchae, the flavor was so incredible! I also tried the Hotteok, this is the dessert you have been looking for! It was hot, sweet, and really finished the meal well! The service was incredible, waiter was friendly, efficient, and our food came out exceptionally quick! The ambiance of the restaurant is so fun, the booths are themed so well, the music is upbeat, but not so loud that you can talk. I will be coming back here every time I am in town!!

    100 percent delicious and authentic. The room has a cozy vibe. Very clean. We will be back in the near future. Holy moses how long does the review go? I like them okay?

    I have ascended ...to a higher power That is how AMAZING the food tasted!!! I can still feel myself floating. The inside interior was so immersive and makes you feel like you're walking around a nightly urban alleyway while looking for a great culinary experience. Which was exactly what I got and more. The server was so accommodating and refilled our banchan every time she noticed it was almost empty. The chicken and short rib were some of the most tender dishes I've ever tasted. I can't wait to take my loved ones here so they can feel the same way I did!

    On a long road-trip from the east coast, wife who is Korean-American needed a Korean food fix so we gave this spot a shot. Plenty of parking in the area (located in a plaza), we loved the outside signage with cute characters and menu items. Friendly greeting by Hostess/Waitress and we were seated quickly in a comfortable booth. There are booths & long tables for bigger parties. Cozy with nice simple decor, which did remind us of the spots we dined in when we lived in Korea. We liked the framed posters with ingredients of favorite Korean dishes. My wife tried the tofu seafood stew, tofu is not her favorite, but she said this one was very good, and she liked to tofu. We shared a seafood Korean pancake, super thick with plenty of delicious seafood. Nicely done so not too crispy, but not under cooked. Best one that I have had outside my mother-in-law's, worth the price. Our hostess/waitress was amazing, despite wearing several hats (seemed to be on her own) for dealing with customers. She checked on us throughout our dining experience. If we were local it would be one of our spots for sure.

    Bulgogi was decent and the kimchi was tasty--pretty close to my own homemade version. Solid Korean comfort food.

The moment you sit down and hear that first sizzle on the grill, you know you're in for more than dinner. You're about to enter a delicious little universe where time slows down, everyone leans in, and the table becomes the heart of the evening. There's something magical about cooking together at Kalbi King. One person becomes the self-appointed Grill Master, another becomes the Sauce Explorer, and someone inevitably declares themselves the Chief Lettuce Wrap Architect. Before you know it, everyone's laughing, flipping, grabbing side dishes, and building the perfect bite like a tiny edible masterpiece. And the meats--oh, the meats. High-quality, tender cuts that cook beautifully right before your eyes, caramelizing into smoky, juicy perfection. The kalbi is the undisputed star, but the pork belly, bulgogi, and marinated chicken hold their own like a talented supporting cast. Each bite feels like a round of applause in your mouth. Don't even get me started on the sides. The banchan lineup comes marching in like a whimsical parade--kimchi with personality, pickled veggies bursting with tangy charm, fluffy rice ready to join the party. Everything feels fresh, generous, and crafted with care. But the real reason Kalbi King stands out? It turns a meal into a family moment. You're not just eating--you're sharing stories, dodging smoke puffs, laughing at slightly overcooked slices, and cheering when someone nails the perfect grill timing. It's the kind of place where you leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. If you're craving food that's flavorful, interactive, and memory-making, Kalbi King Korean BBQ is the crown-wearing hero your family deserves.

One thing I noticed was the mix of different tables and chairs throughout the restaurant. It almost feels like a hodgepodge of furniture, but somehow it works and fits the contemporary vibe rather than feeling out of place. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. We received our food surprisingly fast, which was a nice bonus. There was a mistake with one of our rolls, but the staff handled it well. They quickly remade the roll and brought us a replacement at no charge, which I really appreciated. One of the highlights was a custom roll with jalapeño, avocado, and asparagus. I added cream cheese and had it deep fried, and it honestly tasted like a sushi version of a jalapeño popper. It was absolutely amazing and something I would order again in a heartbeat. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Good food, good service, reasonable prices, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely recommend giving Kuma Sushi a try.

The parking is a bit of a challenge right now due to the construction in downtown. However, there is a lot right next to them that you can park in and there is also parking on the street directly in front of their door. The restaurant is modern and decorated in Asian theme. The bathroom and the restaurant is very clean. And the staff was very attentive, professional, and very pleasant. I enjoyed the food I ordered via DoorDash, but this time I got it fresh right out of the kitchen and the counter, and it was amazing. We started with the jalapeño bomb, and mixed tempura in a size small. Both those appetizers were delicious and perfect for sharing. Then we ordered a California roll on soy paper, the Kuma special sushi roll, and the creamy salmon roll. Everything was fresh and very shareable. We could've easily shared our meal with two other people needless to say we had leftovers to take home. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to going back. There are other things on the menu such as fried rice, udon, and teriyaki plates. They also had a couple of desserts, so I am definitely planning on trying one of those. Enjoy!
