Amazing food, amazing service as usual. Get the spicy soondae soup. Make sure to come early on weekends to skip the line, there could be a wait on weekday nights. The menu is quite expansive but every item is worth trying! This is one of the few places in the Bay area that has gamjatang

돼지국밥, 매운 순대국 had pretty warm spicy broth. Awesome place, I’d definitely come over again for other stews. One of my besy pick Korean restaurants in east bay.

Fantastic cooking skills with truly fresh ingredients. Particularly recommend the Nakgopse Authentic Korean food. Clean. Fast service. Great vibe. Excellent kimchi quality. Will come back.

I had a nice dining experience here. Had the spicy beef soft tofu soup, garlic pork belly wraps and a few sojus. 👍 The food portions were larger than expected. 👍 The prices were reasonable. 👍 Wide variety of dishes in their menu that are harder to find at other Korean restaurants. 👍 Service was exceptional given it was a full house.

You know you’re in the right place as soon as you notice that the utensils and dishes are toxin-free metals, good for you, good for the environment! Then come the appetizers, including rice (which would have been enough for my solo weekday lunch outing). They are gracious when it comes to portions, so a group outing is best suited for this experience. I ordered the Spicy Beef Short Rib Soup, perfect for a cold day. It arrived in a large metal bowl, and the soup is beautiful with its vibrant red color. I’m no expert in Korean food, but whether you call it Korean or simply good food, it’s excellent from the colors to the taste in your mouth. It’s just perfect. Well worth the $25 lunch with two large ribs floating in the soup. Surely a must-try place!

Love this place! The acorn cold noodle and rose tteokbokki noodles are amazing! The soy garlic chicken is a classic

I come here whenever I crave Korean food, and it tastes just like it does back in Korea. I’ll definitely come again when I’m craving it next time. Highly recommend!

Popular Korean food. They are known for the blood sausage. We came on a Monday at the opening time 4:30. No wait. We had both hot soup and cold noodles. All great. They also seals the to g o containers so no leak. I thought that is very thoughtful touch. Small parking g lot, but lots of street parking.

Ordered the Sausage Soup Combo ($24) and it was enough food for two meals. The soup is clearly well-made, with clean and hearty taste. The soondae here is nicely chewy and the soup is packed with meat! Highly recommend to cure any cold or when you need a boost with healthy delicious food 😊

Best Galbi Tang in NorCal! I always order it whenever I’m here. Very authentic Korean Food - various dishes such as seollantang, blood sausage, squid along with the modern popular Korean Fried Chicken and Rose Tteokbokki! Fast and Efficient Service every time.

It’s hard to find pig’s trotters in the Bay Area. Love it! Tender, juicy skin and meat wrapped by vegetables, garlic, pepper with pickles and yellow soybean. The food here is more delicious than many ones in Seoul . Service was great!👍

This place is fantastic! I got their Galbi Jim’s with cheese added on top and also their pink rose noodles. I loved the texture of their rose noodles and it had such a great flavor. The Galbi Jim was big enough for 4 people and was delicious. Such a great place to eat at and they have parking available.

We had a wonderful experience at Moo Bong Ri! The soups were our favorite, a perfect combination of being flavorful and light and the meat was incredibly good! Will definitely be back!

One of my favorite eats in the bay , it never disappoints. The food is always incredibly flavorful, fresh, and consistently delicious. The portions are great for the price. I have eaten here around 5 times and i must always get a different soup to try. The staff is very attentive. Sometimes the wait can be long on a weekend or with a bigger party. The literal only downside to this establishment is the parking lot gets full and has an awkward exit/entrance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, consistently great Korean food in Oakland!

This was my first time here the and I was looking for soup and Bossam. The Seol Leong Tang was good and tasty and the Bossam with Garlic was a huge portion, but the garlic was a bit overkill for me. The garlic tasted very mild in flavor and slightly sweet. Nor what I was expecting, so I should have ordered the regular Bossam. It was a good experience overall.

Food tastes fairly well. Highly recommend the rice cake noodles as those were delicious and a nice sized portion. Their fried chicken was good as well however I think Bonchon is better. Would not recommend the calamari. Be aware it is quite pricey

Meh. First, I wouldn’t trust all the 5-star reviews here because they advertise $5 off drinks for positive Google reviews. So take them with a grain of salt. The food here is just ok. Not bad by any means, but at least our two dishes were uninspiring. The side dishes were fairly good, but limited. Service was also meh. We never got silverware, and when we asked if we could get some, the server quickly told us they were located under the table. He could have pulled out the silverware drawer and put them on the table, but he just walked off. So we had to stand up, walk over to the end of the table to get our own napkins and silverware. I’m not expecting fine dining service, but this wasn’t acceptable. Ultimately the food is expensive for what you get and the value isn’t there for me. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to put the price, but I’d caution that you’ll be paying more than you think. So I don’t think I’ll be going back.

This experience was quite disappointing. We ordered many dishes and couldn’t finish everything, so we asked to pack the leftovers. One of the dishes was pig trotters with garlic and green peppers — the garlic and peppers were clearly part of the dish. However, when packing, the staff did not include them. For this dish, I think the garlic is essential to the flavor. I politely asked if they could pack the garlic and peppers, but the staff refused. I don’t understand why such a simple and reasonable request was denied. The attitude was cold and unhelpful, which ruined our dining experience.
