This is the spot to go to for your next Korean food and drinks night out. Rice Junky has multiple locations in Bay Area and I visited the one in Santa Clara. It’s a delicious tapas style pocha where you can get items to share. We tried their new menu items like the PX soup, dancing nakji and seafood cream ddeokbokki. The portions were huge and the prices are reasonable. They also have a promotion where you can get a free welcome drink with the purchase of an alcoholic beverage.

The bowls here are hands-down some of the best value you’ll find—generous, flavorful, and totally satisfying. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. The food itself is literally irresistible. Every bite of the teokbokki was packed with bold, spicy flavor, and paired perfectly with a cold beer. It’s the kind of spot that’s perfect for a late-night hangout—casual, fun, and full of energy. The vibe of sitting, eating, and sipping while enjoying the atmosphere is just unbeatable.
Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or looking to hang out with friends late into the night, this place hits all the marks. Delicious food, great drinks, welcoming staff, and a chill, lively environment make it one of those spots you’ll want to return to again and again.

If you want a genuine “pocha” experience – a Korean-style tapas plus drinks – look no further. Rice Junky provides a funky and fun decor and experience with no frills, no snooty, everyday good comfort food and drinks. This is a perfect place for hanging out with friends and others. Be ready to be part of a gaggle, be loud and fun. It’s just a happy place!
Now, Rice Junky has a wide variety of category of food but surprisingly is well controlled in not trying to do “everything”. They dishes are positioned like tapas where the portions are surprisingly small, compared to regular Korean restaurants. But it’s not done in an offensive way. It’s just that you’ll be surprised to see such small pajeon or chicken, etc. The initial impression of “cheap” prices thus quickly dissipates away. Now, to compensate, the quality of the food is in general top notch. Korean fried chicken here is magical, and a lot of the ramen and udon are also great. Having this caliber of food at a bar again is respectable.
But again, who goes to Rice Junky to just eat? It’s all about the drinks. So many different types of soju cocktails as well as a decent selection of pitchers. And again, each table houses 6 comfortably. You don’t go to Rice Junky to eat by yourself. You go here because it’s the weekend and you’re going to have a great time.
Go early. Waits can get brutal as tables seldom open up once the party begins. A great addition to El Camino Korea Town.

Been to rice junkie multiple times for lunch as well as for dinner. The service is always quick and fast however I do not like the new digital menu that they have especially if you’re on the tables close to the wall.
Their selection of sauces is always very interesting and I’m yet to try them all.
The ambience is somewhere in between a fancy restaurant and a fast casual.
Definitely get their corn and cheese combination either with the chicken or with the pork. Lunch for two with a drink and appetizer was $30 per person.

Came here for lunch last November. It was a good experience. Food was fresh and good, Staff was friendly and helpful. Restroom was super clean, well stocked and thoughtful. I was totally impressed…
Aesthetically decorated. Easy to order from an individual device installed on each table. Cozy and relaxing environment.

Another great Korean food option! If you’re looking for a more casual bar/drinking place look no further. Everything we ate was cooked to perfection. The cc chicken is a best seller for a reason. You won’t notice they’re gone until it’s too late.

Decided to try Rice Junky out off of Yelp!
You order through your phone which isn’t my preference..but oh well.
2 of us ordered:
– cc chicken pan dish (sweet and spicy) $15.99, chicken was quite good. Corn cheese in the picture made it look a lot bigger.
-seafood pancake $12.99, good pancake, but it was a veggie one…no texture of any seafood present. Might have had some seafood taste? But maybe they sprinkled some powder. No squid, octopus, shrimp etc
-crunch pork bowl $15.99, kimchi fried rice did not have much flavor. I did enjoy the pork quite a bit.
Overall, food was good, but definitely had room for improvement.
Parking is easy to find in the plaza.

Solid Korean pub-style food with all your usual favorites like seafood pancake, tteokbokki, and fried chicken! We also had the skewers and pork bulgogi bowl, nothing disappointed.
Although the chestnut makgeolli was sold out, we tried the melon flavor instead and it was really nice! Think they added some fresh aloe in there and I love when places do this so it’s not just the same as a bottle I could buy from the market. And I especially love when it comes in the urns or teapots that make it feel more authentic or like something you would find in Korea. The little touches like this is fun!
The service was really fast. You order from the table tablets which was convenient.

We went in for a late lunch on Saturday. We weren’t sure if this was more of a drinking place or restaurant.
I had the chicken bowl and my wife had the chicken plate. We are split on our opinions of this place. I liked the food, but she felt it was too “fusion” and not authentic.
The one thing we did agree upon was about the fact there’s no paper menu. You have to order with your smartphone aged scanning a QR code. We love tech, but this was poorly implemented. It gets confused if two people look at the menu simultaneously on their own phones. Somehow, it lost our order and we had to wait much longer to get our food. Service was generally slow. But the prices were very reasonable for the quantity of food.
The atmosphere is young and trendy. Walls are covered in kpop idols, giving it a gen-z vibe. We felt a little out of place.
