KoJa Kitchen

"Awful, sharp drop in quality and unhealthy . Had it once a long time ago - thought it was unique, however had the “Original” Koja sandwich this weekend - the buns were SOAKED in oil, and were way too thick and barely any crisp and significantly less meat than pictured! My fingers were wet with oil. Moreover, the meat was LUKEWARM! Overall an awful experience and best avoided."

"The Westfield mall location has an outdoor Koja Bar on the outside, which is a cool new feature that they have. As a chain that started from a food truck, I love eating their Koja, crispy rice buns with well-seasoned and flavored meat inside. One can order online, at the kiosk, or at a cashier, and their food is prepared quickly. The one downside is the use of plastic forks, but the rest of it arrives in compostable containers. The staff are really friendly and efficient!"

"We went here in the Westfield valley mall and it was so good. I ordered the Korean BBQ beef tacos and their fries. The tacos were amazing and had so much flavor. They were cooked well and the sauce was delicious. The serving size was also perfect. The fries were okay as it’s just topped with siracha and spicy mayo. But I cannot recommend the Korean BBQ beef tacos enough because they were great! Will come back again!"

"So the reason why I visited this place is because on tv, it was on top 100 burger spots on yelp ( actually it’s KoJa Kitchen Berkeley that’s on top 10 spot ). So, we tried their best seller and it was alright. The meat was tasty, sweet and cooked nicely. The buns were actually fried crispy rice. It was very filling so I’ve only had half of the burger and felt full. Although it’s on the top 10 spot , it’s not really my favorite and for me, the meat is just too sweet for my taste as I’m not really into sweet stuffs. Maybe we will try the chicken sandwich next time. The drink is fine, not too sweet so it’s good for me. The fries is good, crispy and not too salty."

"Came here for lunch on a busy Saturday evening because most other restaurants were closed and Koja had one of the most interesting menus! I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad (Ahi tuna, wasabi mayo, seasoned edamame, seaweed salad, imitation crab salad, green onions, masago, wonton crisps, soy ginger dressing) and fell in love! It was such a perfect balance of sweet and spicy and crunchy and just everything! The tuna was really fresh and everything went amazing together. I didn't have the soy ginger dressing because there was enough flavoring in the salad itself. I had also asked for extra greens on the side and they gave me so so much! Most restaurants only add a tiny amount but Koja did a very good job. I was very happy with this meal. I also got the Teriyaki Zen Koja (Soy and portobello mushroom patty, sesame vinaigrette lettuce, pineapple, teriyaki sauce, sesame seeds), and oh my gosh! Another beautiful one! The crispy rice buns were really so crispy and the overall texture and flavor and everything was just perfect That pineapple added such a good touch and this soy amount was just perfect and I just have no more words. Definitely definitely recommend this one! My boyfriend got the Chicken Bowl(Korean BBQ chicken, spicy gochujang sauce, kimchi, green onions, masago, sesame seeds, lemon wedge, fried onions) and he really did like this one. The chicken was good and ingredients or went well together as well. He had half rice and half salad and was happy with the meal as well. I tasted some of the chicken and it was quite good - cooked just right and flavored well as well. He also had the Chicken Koja (Korean BBQ chicken, sesame vinaigrette lettuce, tomato, cilantro, spicy gochujang sauce, sesame seeds, lemon wedge). It looked quite massive and had the same chicken as the bowl. He liked it, but as far as flavor goes though, that Teriyaki Zen one was a lot better! I couldn't recommend it more!"
