I personally found their side dishes to be only okay; the fish cakes were a little tough, and the variety didn't appeal to me as much as some others that I have had. That said, the main dishes are really good. I have tried their seafood pancake & crab tofu soup, both of which I really enjoyed! I will say that, the following day, I felt really bloated with sodium, which dampens my enthusiasm a little bit, but overall the food was great. Parking was pretty easy, as the shop is located in a plaza with a number of other shops, including other eateries. The interior is on the small side, though--despite really cramming the tables in, there was still a decent wait, as the spot seems popular as a dinner location. I think it's worth the wait, personally. Overall, I do recommend this spot. The food is great, the service is efficient, and their menu is appealing. The prices & portions are standard to what you can expect from a tofu soup spot, but the wider variety of tofu soups stands out. I might limit my visits, as the bloating is definitely a bit uncomfortable, but I do plan to come back.

I came here on a weekend evening with a few people. Since it was a hot day, we ordered some cold…read morenoodles, and we wanted to try their tofu soup. For the cold noodles, it was pretty refreshing and a bit light in flavor. It came in a icy vinegary broth with noodles, half a boiled egg, pickled daikon and some pieces of galbi (short rib). Also had option of adding more vinegar and/or mustard if you wanted. The noodles were chewy but that's how it is, recommend asking for some scissors to cut the noodles if it's hard to chew. For the spicy buckwheat cold noodles, it had much more flavor, had a gochujang base, and thicker. It came with half a boiled egg, pickled daikon and pieces of galbi. For the tofu soup, we got the chicken and mushroom which was fine. In addition, the sides were good as well. Service was good.

We ordered the beef soup and the appetizer short ribs, which is about 6 pieces. The sides were good, special shout out to the warm jjapchae! The short ribs came out sizzling, and had a great char with a sweet soy sauce flavor. Meat was tender and had the perfect chew to it, such a comfort meal with the rice. The beef soup came boiling, and there was a generous amount of beef, mushrooms, and tofu. The only complaint I have is the soup ratio was less than what I'm used to so about halfway through the pot there wasn't much soup left to pour onto the rice the way I normally do. But that's not a bad thing, means you're getting more protein! Service was great, but it's a bit expensive from what I'm used to so I docked a star. I'll check out other places and see if this is just the normal pricing for the area.

I can see why this place gets busy as it is small inside. It did get pretty busy shortly after we were seated and quite loud. We came strictly for the Kalbijjim and added cheese. Also ordered potstickers I believe. The kalbijjimm did not disappoint and was good portion. I just wish it had more rice cakes. Service was just okay. For some reason, I was really impressed with how they do their to-go containers. They will take the dish back to kitchen and seal it in a container for you. Loved that!

We ended up going with the small beef combo - brisket, short rib, marinated short rib. Also ordered the kimchi pancake, crispy. The surprise highlight was the kimchi pancake, it was delicious! And the marinated short rib was the best grilled meat - tender meat, tasty marinade. The egg soufflés and cheese/corn was also very good. I'll definitely be back!

We ordered the marinated meats combo and wanted to add the fried dumplings, but were told they were sold out. This is actually the second time we've come here hoping to try the dumplings, and they've been unavailable both times. Since we came on a quiet weekday, I was surprised they were already out. It also would have been nice if our server had suggested another appetizer instead of just telling us they were unavailable. When we first sat down, our server asked if we'd been there before, which we had, but neither our server nor the person grilling our meat introduced themselves. Throughout the meal, there wasn't much interaction. I also asked for bowls of rice when we ordered, and was told they came with the combo. After all the meat had been served, we still hadn't received the rice, so I had to ask for it again in the middle of our meal. One thing that would have made the experience better was if the staff member grilling the meat had let us know what was being cooked. They quietly grilled and served everything without saying which cuts we were eating, so we were left guessing until I finally asked. A little explanation would have gone a long way, especially for a restaurant that's known for tableside service. The food itself was definitely the highlight. The beef belly and hanger steak were both delicious and I'd order them again. That said, when you're spending well over $100 for a combo, you expect service that feels a little more welcoming and attentive. The restaurant wasn't busy during our visit, so it wasn't a situation where the staff seemed overwhelmed. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service felt uninterested, and that's what kept this experience from being a great one.

One of the most popular K-food restaurants in the Bay Area, and their food is always a 10/10!…read more I've come back here so many times because all of their soups are so comforting, especially the galbitang - my absolute favorite. It feels just like a warm hug in a bowl! Their cold noodles, both spicy and non-spicy versions, are refreshing and perfect for cooling down summer heat. We also almost always order the mo deum soo yook for extra protein. It's a combination plate with boiled beef brisket, tail, and tendons. You will have to season them yourself with salt and pepper, but beef is always so soft and tender. I highly recommend ordering this only if you're dining with a group of 3 or more because the portion is huge! After finishing your meal, they'll serve you a yakult, super yummy and great for digestion (super thoughtful of them) They're busy and almost always have a waitlist, especially during peak dinner hours. From my experience, the longest I've waited was about 45 minutes, but normally it's only around 20-30 minutes. There's a boba shop nearby where you can grab a drink while waiting. Overall, I have nothing to complain about with this place. Try it once and you'll understand why everyone loves it!

Came here on a Saturday around noon and thankfully we were early enough to avoid a wait. they don't allow outside drinks, which is a bummer because it was so hot and our drinks would go bad if left in the car. I got the galbi tang and they gave a good amount of beef! I was able to take home for a second meal :) i also love their kimchi. maybe around 10 minutes after we got our soup, we had asked for refills on the sides. when we got the refills, we also got our bill. we were no where close to being done eating and the servers would constantly check our table to see if we're done or needed boxes. while we were boxing our leftovers, the server aggressively took our soups (half way in the air trying to pour it) from us and packed it herself. my friend was trying to get the bone out first but the server was just awfully impatient. The whole dine-in experience felt very uncomfortable, especially since we were still actively eating.

We ordered the Stone Pot Bibimbap, Soft Tofu Soup, and the Korean BBQ Beef Short Ribs (Galbi). The short ribs were, without a doubt, the highlight of our meal. They were perfectly marinated, incredibly tender, juicy, and literally melted in our mouths. Easily one of the best Korean BBQ short ribs we've ever had. The stone pot bibimbap was also delicious, with crispy rice on the bottom and fresh, flavorful toppings. The soft tofu soup was hot, comforting, and full of flavor. The restaurant was very clean, cozy, and welcoming. The side dishes were fresh and tasty, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. We're so glad we came back, and we'll definitely be returning again. Highly recommend Omogari to anyone looking for authentic and delicious Korean food in San Jose!

According to the notes on my phone, I have some updates for you for SJ Omogari. ha ha!…read more A noteworthy change is that they now have outdoor seating with a covered patio. Also, even though there is a small parking lot behind their building, do not park there. That is for employees only. And before you ask, no, I did not park there. I'm a rule follower. Just sharing for your information. There is always plenty of street parking. Just make sure you feed your meter. I paid $3 for an hour and a half of parking. Again, this update is after multiple meals with different people. SJ Omogari continues to be a go to favorite, especially if you want Meat Jun. I've tried it at other restaurants, and none come close to the flavorful, tender version from SJ Omogari. My friend and I had lunch at SJ Omogari yesterday. The tables seemed very close together. It's good for the restaurant to get more people, but it felt a little closed in for my personal space preferences. This was my friend's first visit, and she loved it! I ordered Meat Jun (duh), and we shared a dumpling tofu soup. I was feeling bold, so we asked for medium spicy. I was sweating, but it was very flavorful and I kept eating as the sweat dripped down my head. My friend ordered the chicken bibimbap, which SJ Omogari calls, "Chicken Ricebowl." That stone bowl was SUPER HOT! It was sizzling when served, and we could still see steam as she packed up her leftovers! My friend loved the crispy rice on the bottom. SJ Omogari is on the pricy side, but still worth it. Go!

This wasn't too much of an issue, and we ended up ordering cheese corn, pork tofu soup, and the galbijjim. Though the wait staff was a one-man show, he was efficient, kind, and attentive. Kept us stocked with water and got us whatever we needed right away (ladle, bowl, etc). Banchan came out almost immediately after ordering. The food was really yummy. One of my friends and I are sensitive to spicy foods, so we were a bit intimidated when the food came out RED. However, the spice level was truly mild and just a little kick of heat. The galbi was extremely tender and everything was well seasoned. My only other issue is the prices are a bit high. You can get similar food for a couple bucks less at spots in Santa Clara. Overall, a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to come back again!
