Obok Restaurant

"Nice hole in the wall spot for a busy plaza. We came by for a late dinner around 8:30PM. No one was there when we ordered, but halfway through our meal, a few other folks had dined in. We ordered two tofu stews, one beef and one seafood. Good tofu stews. Sides were good and staff was friendly to refill. Parking can definitely be busy during peak hours."

"Their blood sausage and intestines are wetter than jangtu’s. We like their intestines and jantu's blood sausage more."

"Bare bones Korean restaurant in Santa Clara area along El Camino near Lawrence Expressway - the area has a huge concentration of Korean restaurants sprinkled in strip malls for a 3 mile stretch. Very authentic and may not be fully appreciated by a non-Korean diner. The appetizers were not great but the entree (we had beef sukiyaki) was good. One of very few Korean eateries open at mid-morning. Service was polite and cheerful."

"There are many dishes not often seen in other Korean restaurants. We had the intestine tofu soup and sea food tofu soup and a Korean style sausage to go. The soups come with eggs inside it already. Lots of tofu with little intestines or sea food. The soup tastes great! There are many dishes and soups containing Korean style sausage. So we had ordered one to go. It comes with a spicy pickle sauce and pink salt. It’s clear green bean noodle and pig blood filled sausage. To eat it with the sauce, a pinch of salt, or the pickled vegetables is an adventure of taste buds!"

"If you want just great Korean food, especially soondae, without caring too much about interior, atmosphere, cleanliness, etc., then this is it. Obok is a pure statement for "food matters most". And when you are at Obok, you must try their soondae-guk - the soup with soondae in it. It really is the signature, the heart and soul of true Korean comfort food. The soup that drains your woes and grogginess from a hangover. The owner and the server ladies are super nice and would love to always give you more. You feel love, rather than a transaction. And yes, the restaurant won't come across as the clean, modern, date-night, type of fare. But that's okay. Sometimes you just want that love felt from your aunt or grandma. You just simply have to love Obok and it'll love you back."
