My No.1 BBQ And TOFU 5829 Jarvis Avenue, Newark, CA 94560

"My mom and I came to visit 2/28/24 and neither of us have had authentic Korean BBQ before. We were both so blown away. Everything was delicious and you could tell the owner truly cared about his restaurant and every dish that came out. He recommended the bulgogi japchae, the sweet and spicy chicken, and the potstickers. (Sorry for not getting exact names right) I ordered the soy garlic chicken as well. Let me tell you, that is the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Every bite was crispy, juicy, and flavorful and all of the other sides were delicious as well. I am so glad we found this place and my mom and I truly had a great night. Thank you so much for your kindness and we will be back :)"

"11/2024 Update: I think the recipes changed again. I like it more than what my 2022 review would suggest but I think the original was still better. I would give this place a 3.5 star but not quite a 4. I've been coming here since they opened. Sadly, as of September 2022, there is new management. The menu is largely the same but the recipes are largely different. I think it is still OK but not as great as it once was."

"What a hole in the wall. We ordered the beef kimbap, gan-jang chicken, and the yang nyum chicken with a side of rice. All 3 dishes were amazing. This is a very heavy meal for two, so I'd suggest adding 2 to your table for this type of order! Best part was that you can reload the banchan (sides) two times! Service on a Monday night was tricky, although empty, you'll have to get someone's attention by walking up to the counter. Everything was great anyway."

"We came on a Friday evening and it was half full and BTS on the TV screen. Very family friendly. The food is top notch. Ordered the short rib and fried chicken (soy garlic and regular). Wow everything wasadd very well. I eat a lot of short rib and this was marinated well. The fried chicken was nice and crisy. Soy garlic was our favorite. The service was good and the gentleman serving us was so kind! We will definitely be back!"

"Nice mom and pop Korean restaurant. I got the Seafood pancake, fried chicken and beef stew. I wish the fried chicken had half orders, but its one size fits all. Come hungry because these portions are huge."
