(FAKE REVIEWS) This place is pathetic save your money go somewhere else trust me no wonder it's always empty just STRAIGHT UP empty 24/7 7days of the week you can tell she doesn't even try she doesn't give good portions for the amount we are paying for the ramen noodles are cheap the fries are worse stingy with the meat on any platter read more

Stingy with the food cheap ramen noodles being used no one literally goes here it's always empty I wouldn't be surprised if it shuts down. Owner does not wear gloves I seen her cleaning using cleaning products and straight to cooking do not waste your money people there's way better places to eat around there go somewhere else for Korean food read more

I had the Bibimpap beef rice bowl. I'd say it was okay at best, and the portion was much smaller than I expected. The wait time for my food was rather long, and I give the service a C+. read more

This place is located on the same street as all the breweries in downtown Chula Vista. The staff was amazing and able to explain the menu to us. We ended up ordering the recommendations of Sundubu Jjigae-Hot Stone Soup. This was a savory pork broth with zucchini tofu and a delicious egg. It was a great meal for a cold day. We also tried the Spicy Pork Plate. The pork was soft and very well marinated. Will definitely be returning to try the Bulgogi fries and the Korean Ramen. read more

I'll admit I've only tried the bulgogi ramen, but I love it! Great little local spot.

Definitely recommend this place Monica is really nice and welcoming gotta try the bulgogi fries, burrito coming soon ,never disappoints!!!

I think they may be new to the area. I tried their spicy Ramen and was not disappointed. The only thing that I wasn't expecting was that they cooked the egg fully instead of how the seasoned eggs usually come in a Ramen (which is actually a pretty intricate process to make, but worth the effort in doing yourself). I assumed that there must be a different custom for eggs in Ramen and that was their way. It was amazing nonetheless and I'll ask in the future if they actually do the seasoned eggs. I do highly recommend it and can't wait to try their bulgogi in the future! read more

Don't be fooles by the outside looking in. The place look simple and plaine; hard to tell what they serve. Ohhh boy, but the minute you open the door, the spices hit your senses! You could smell the bulgogi and kimchi! Wow, and Esteban's customer service is prompt and courteous. The waiter explains the dishes, sauces and drinks. Right away Esteban mentions that the Korean owner is cooking in the back. You know you're going to get amazing, authentic, home cooked food! The best Korean food you can find in town! Support this local business gem of Chula Vista! read more

My wife and I discovered Spoon House recently while grabbing a few pints nearby at Third Avenue Alehouse. Definitely recommend the bulgogi fries. It was a cold evening so my wife had the ramen, and it was very tasty. Third Ave has been upping its food game over the last year or so and Spoon is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. read more

You can smell the delicious food from the sidewalk! Loved eating here. Staff was very welcoming and our waiter was super friendly and explained the dishes and the house made sauce (which I could drink, it's that good). I got the bulgogi bibimbap and it was so tasty. It comes in a big bowl with fresh veggies and very well marinated bulgogi and the most perfectly cooked egg. It was not oily which is a complaint I have about a lot of other restaurants that serve bibimbap. Everything tasted freshly made and home made in the best way. I would order this dish again and would come back to try the bulgogi fries. read more

We went to Spoon house with 5 people on Saturday night. The service was spot on. They have a full bar with some tasty cocktails. The food is prepared by the owner / chef. We ordered several appetizers including the mandu, spicy chicken wings, and savory scallion pancake. Everything was delicious and freshly cooked. I had bulgogi which was very good. Others enjoyed the the spicy kimchee ramen, bulgogi fries, and other entrees. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I will return and I would recommend it to friends. read more

monica is the owner she was very helpful with the menu... and the food was amazin.. she did everything in her power to satisfy our needs!! I recomm this place because the Korean food tasted so delicious! read more

Excellent food and fabulous staff/service. Bonus: super cold beer. We were here for the Christmas parade. Line was crazy long but the food and staff stayed on point. Impressive! read more

Esteban was very hospitable. Great service! New restaurant. My bulgogi fried rice was AMAZING and brought out in a very timely manner. The ramen was also very tasty. Very professional. The food is very authentic. We'll definitely be back! read more

Can't decide what was better, the food, customer service, or cocktails! The bulgogi fries were delicious, some of the best bulgogi my boyfriend and I had! He loved the chicken wings with mild sauce on them and said it reminded him of when he was in Busan. You can tell a lot of care goes into not only the food but the restaurant as a whole for how clean and well taken care of it is. Jack was the bartender there and did an awesome job, drinks were delicious and he made sure we were taken care of. Could not recommend this place more! Will be coming back often with friends!! read more

I got the soondubu & tteokbokki. Nastyiest Korean food I've had to date. I thought Korean kitchen was bad, somehow this is worse. The soondubu is watered down, the egg was extremely over cooked, i had to chew the yolk .. . The tteok tastes like straight up fish. I understand there's fish cake, but it shouldn't taste like only fish. Such a shame! I miss living by ktown:( read more

The food and service was fantastic. We started with the bulgogi fries and tteokbokki and it was a super yummy set of appetizers for three people. We ordered the bulgogi sundubu and it was so delicious. Everything about Spoon House was so comforting and I can't wait to come back! read more

Great food amazing cocktails hidden gem right on 3rd ave and open late weekends new pool table and sticks can't beat that for late night cap

Gross food. The ramen looked like maruchan noodles with soggy beef. Flavorless just salty. Of course the water tasted like it came straight from the toilet and with only a couple of ice cubes. Well good thing a fly sat on my cup which kept me from finishing it. The restroom was gross too. Poop particles stuck to the toilet bowl. You know what they say about the kitchen being as clean as the bathroom. I can only imagine how gross the kitchen must be. read more

Awesome service from Esteban, great food cooked by the owner. They also serve liquor, definitely recommend trying this place out.

Great place for food! Great service and the spicy ramen is super good, definitely recommend this place!!

Delicious food! The service is great and I recommend the Mild spicy Ramen is super good !!!

very good food best Korean spot ive had in San Diego bulgogi fries are my favorite would 100% recommend stop by and try it out!

Solid food and service. Great that you can get food and a drink. Ordered the bulgogi fries and wings. Fries had a great flavor and the wings were meaty and moist. Only reason to knock off the 1 star was the sauce on the wings could have had a little more flavor and used a better cut of fries. Would still recommend both. Definitely try the house made hot sauce with your food. Will be back to try the larger entree portions. read more

Stopped in after work; excited to see a new place in downtown Chula Vista. Well, I love Scallion Pancake, however, this was not crispy and flaky, so a bit disappointing because it was so expensive. However, the customer service was fabulous and I will go back and just ask for a nice thin crispy, flaky one next time. Also a full bar which will take advantage of next time! read more

Cool modern and fresh space with a cool video jukebox machine. Full bar if you are into that. The food is amazing, lovingly prepared in an authentic manor. We had the wings, the galbi and the bulgogi. Only one waiter/Bartender but he managed quite well to get everyone served with graciousness. The kimchi was really tasty with just the right amount of heat and texture. I will definitely come back for my Korean food fix. read more

I've been wanting to come here for weeks and finally got to try it with my friend. We ordered the veggie fried rice and the braised pork ribs, both super delicious. The meat on the ribs was super tender and flavorful. Our server was also very friendly and knowledgeable and was great with his sauce recommendations for each dish. The place itself was super clean and the decor was minimalistic. They have a full liquor license which is a little rare on 3rd Avenue so that's awesome. I will definitely come back to this place to try their other menu items. I hope this place gets more attention because they deserve it. read more
