Spoon Korean Bistro — Restaurant in Fremont

Food tasted like frozen section of KP market that was heated up. Service was not good. They didn't refill our empty bottle of water used to refill our own water cups. Water cups smelled gross before we even poured the water in it. They didn't refill our kimchi. Basic service for a Korean place with barely any ppl in it was lacking. I give 2 stars because they had a smile on their face but no sense for how service in a Korean restaurant should be. Kimchi dumplings did not taste like kimchi or had any cabbage in it at all. And we mentioned it to them but nothing was done about it. Spam kimbap was just raw spam cut up and put in it. Atleast grill the spam first. Pork belly was flavorless. Menu says there was suppose to be lettuce too wrap the kbbq with but it never came out. Cabbage was just steamed and unseasoned. Not even a little salt. Pork Belly tasted like it was boiled and then pan fried. Not very flavorful and soft. The Korean Noodle Soup was kind of salty and spicy but not much as far as flavor. There was a little flavor but not much. The noodles absorbed into the broth so easily and made the broth thick even though the soup was still really hot. We didn't like the thick broth. The Job's Tears drink tastes like the little packets you get in a box from KP market. Just mixed with water. Nothing special about it but...

Nice little Gem in the middle of chaos. While stuck in the middle of traffic we realized it would be too late to eat by the time we get home to Tracy so we pulled over in the Denny's shopping center and found this place. Thank goodness we stopped! We were a bit sceptical because of the area but it was just perfect. Excellent homemade dishes with fantastic flavors. The service was great, the portions were just right and the atmosphere was cozy. I couldn't wait to get home to polish off the leftovers. Mind you we could have passed out from the food coma of eating too much while we were at the restaurant but we had just the right amount of food leftover for a touch up if you know what I mean. I would definitely recommend this place as an authentic Korean flavor...

I like this place. The food is simple yet tasty. The recipes seems healthy compared to traditional Korean food. There's only a few dishes offered but sometimes, that's all you need. This technique keeps their overall cost down and food prep consistent. Because almost every dish is popular, it's a must to try them all. I for one have not yet ventured beyond Bibimbop because it's really good and very affordable. For newbies, this dish is essentially a bowl of healthy rice, seasoned vegetables and your choice of meat optionally spicy, of course. The restaurant seats at best 30 maybe, cozy yet accommodating. It's our go to Korean restaurant for now. I highly...
