TTOBONGEE / KOREA HOUSE

"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."

"After this experience, I never want to try Korean BBQ again, that is how BAD this experience was. This was honestly the worst service I have ever received anywhere. I always want to support Hayward businesses, but this was disappointing. Extremely rude waitress. It got to the point where the waitress had gotten into my face after telling her we want to leave (we were extremely uncomfortable and upset) and we also offered to pay as the food had already came out. She made us feel unwelcome, and got extremely irritated with us when asking questions, this was our first time for Korean BBQ. “I’m Vegetarian!!!” Is what she told us so aggressive, slamming her hands on the table, after asking her what she recommends. After explaining to her, nicely (my partner has been in the service industry and we both are understanding) that our order was wrong, when she brings out our food, she gets furious at us, walks away as we are talking, comes back with the menu and slams it on the table. A rude waitress with a mask. Please go somewhere else, with the rising costs of living and raising of prices in restaurants, it is NOT worth it here."

"Really great find. Grilling Korean BBQ at your table and the ability to eat Korean Fried Chicken?! Sauces were good, sides were fresh and tasty. The meat marinades for the grill were great too. Service was efficient and friendly. Overall a really great experience."

"This was my first time visiting and the experience was amazing! I was helped as soon as I walked in and greeted with a warm smile from the server Mimi. Mimi and the other kind server were very kind and helpful for my first time. The food is def not cheap but worth the money spent! The area for seating is clean and neat, felt very comfortable. Will be visiting again :)"

"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!"
