Upbeat, bright outpost for classic Korean BBQ, with tableside grilling & plentiful side dishes.

I’ve been coming here for 20 years, and this place has never once disappointed me. It feels like home every time I walk in.
In the Bay Area, so many Korean restaurants call themselves “authentic,” but the food lacks heart and soul. Too many rely on pre-made dishes now, and you can taste the difference. That’s not authentic!
This Korea House is different. The flavors are real, the care is real, and the consistency over decades means everything to me. Coming back here brings back memories and reminds me why this place will always have my heart. I’m truly so happy to be here again.

The chicken is really good, the dips are great, the service is incredible. It’s a really good place, they serve a lot of food, I can eat twice with one portion. I took it to go, but the place also looks clean and great.

I had such a wonderful experience at TTOBONGEE / KOREA HOUSE! The owner, Gina, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She even shared her zero-sugar soju with me, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Gina was the only one running between the kitchen and the dining area, serving everyone with so much kindness and energy. She truly deserves a good rest—and a drink with me next time!
All the ban-chan (side dishes) were fresh and delicious, and I really appreciated that the flavors were perfectly balanced—not too salty, not too sweet. The main dishes were just as tasty and comforting.
Overall, I loved everything about my visit and will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Gina, for making the experience so warm and memorable. See you next time!

I had an amazing time here with friends. First off, the meats were super flavorful and juicy. We ordered combo #3 and it was the right amount for four. Good prices. The owner was super friendly and welcoming. She really made us feel at home and made us laugh. This Korean restaurant is my new favorite in the Bay Area and is on par with LA Korean restaurants. Definitely my new go to Korean restaurant. I wish I took photos of the food, but we ate it too quickly.

we had been going to display since 2001 when we moved here in Hayward. This place has always been the best Korean restaurant in the Bay Area. However, for the first few years, it was managed by old people and the service was not that good people are very snobby then after Covid, it was taken over by new people we are assuming that those are their children and gosh what a turn of 180 degrees. service has become so good and servers are very friendly. The owner is very, very nice. She’s very good and most of all their food is still the best! very authentic and very very delicious.
There are other Korean restaurants here in Hayward, but nothing can compare to this restaurant. The crispy chicken is to die for their tofu soup and bim bim bop are my favorites. The barbecue or you can cook them on the table our phenomenon. As muchas we go here Almostevery week, their food stays authentic and consistent. Also, prices are reasonable, and the ambience is So family oriented.
You should try this restaurant and you will understand what I mean. I encourage you to try their food. You will not regret it.

Authentic Korean food. These kimchi reminds me of my high school when I go to my buddy house. The server is an authentic Korean auntie that will make sure you have enough food and drinks. Highly recommend it.

Wanted to escape traffic, so I hit the back streets. While blindly navigating I noticed this spot sitting on the corner. I was undecided on what to eat, so I figured it must have been in the stars for me to eat here today. The staff was very pleasant, and super attentive. The food was delicious, the sides were so good. It literally brought back memories of when I spent a total of 3 years in Korea. I definitely have to add this place on my list of foodie spots.

Fried chicken tastes really good! We got gochu mayo and garlic and soy sauce flavor which we enjoyed. They also cook it once you order so it’s guaranteed fresh and it’ll take 20-25 mins wait time. I hope more people will go to this place to try their food.

The tofu soup with beef was okay, but I’ve had better. The service was quite slow, though it may have been because it was late on Christmas Eve and there was only one server. She was very apologetic. I would go again to try other dishes.

What’s great about this place is the sheer amount of side dishes they give you. It’s very wide and varied, I think they provided at 12 side dishes, which is insane. And it seems to change every time, depending on what they made that day. All their food is really solid, like their stir-fried squid and their galbitang. Very impressed!
