Really love the bulgogi. The combination set of BBQ meat and tofu stew is a good deal enough for two people! ✌️ Attentive and funny wait staff. Though I'm not Korean, I've eaten at several Korean restaurants and this is one of the good ones. If...Read More

Went in during testing hours. Owner was super nice. They’re testing the hours of 2 to 5, where most places close. Great and personal service, and the food was on point too. If they weren’t open, there’ll be no place to eat and I’ll starve...Read More

I don't know when Soon's opened but I've been living in the Peninsula for 6 years and cannot believe I just discovered this restaurant. For authentic Korean food, you typically have to head down to Sunnyvale or Santa Clara. But obviously for those who live...Read More

Very tasty and close to authentic Korean restaurant. Ordered BBQ Kalbi (Rib), Bibimbub and Hot Spicy Tofu with Beef Soup (forgot to take photo). Liked everything here. The Bibimbub bowl could be hotter as I wanted to make crispy rice at the bottom of it.

I used to live in Koreatown in Los Angeles, and how I miss walking to multiple soondubu restaurants! This place hits the spot, it's the closest thing I've had on the Peninsula to LA's Koreatown. Each banchan was seasoned well. I got the kimchi jigae,...Read More
