KoJa Kitchen

OMG! This is the first time that I have ordered food from this restaurant, and I am wondering WHYY did I not know about this sooner. I have been craving poke bowls since the Poke Bowl closed in Castro Valley. I found my new spot. I like that I can customize using the website when ordering and I was pleased when I opened the food container, and the food looked so fresh and yummy. The tuna tasted fresh and didn't have the mouth feel that a previously frozen fish would have. I am allergic to real shellfish so the fact that they have imitation crab is very doable for me. This bowl came with won ton strips and red sauce on my rice. The crunch from the won ton strips, the richness of the crab and the wasabi sauce made my eyes roll back. I opted for no greens on my bowl as I didn't want to deal with soggy greens if I didn't finish during one sitting. My only complaint with this meal was that the rice was very dry. I ordered a small container of kim chee and was able to share with my co-workers. I like that there were jalapenos included in the serving. My co-worker ordered the short rib bowl. I was able to try the meat from her bowl, bless her heart, and it was full of flavor and very tender. She has been to Koja Kitchen before and when she orders the short rib bowl. it is consistent. I wish I was able to take pictures, but I dove right into my food and it was an afterthought. Happy to try something new the next time I am nearby.

I remember trying KoJa Kitchen back when they were just a food truck! Glad they have an actual restaurant to eat their food! I have eaten here many times, and always love their KoJas. I have tried The Original KoJa, the Beef KoJa, and the Braised Pork KoJa. All of them are good. I love the garlic rice buns especially when it's nice, golden, and crispy! Their Kamikaze Fries and their Umami Fries are good as well! I haven't tried anything else, but would go back and try other things on their menu.

Came here during work lunch break with a colleague. We walked across the street and decided on Koja to try. They were not busy. We ordered our food on their kiosk. Our food came out quick and we decided to eat there instead of taking it to go. The interior is clean, quiet, and a small footprint place. It was great and minimal interaction with any staff. Will come back again to try other food items.

This place is very underrated. Our family loves their food. I hope their business will last in this area.

We use to go very often when we were staying in Bay Area their Cupertino location.

Always a great experience from Koja. The food is delicious and the service is good. We love their ahi bowls, pork koja and umami fries. Yum!

Amazingly delicious!! I finished my whole meal and want to plan another time to visit again. A few seats inside as well as out. They are located in a busy area but do have tons of parking close to other common places. Not hard to find. We came in to order and it seems like they just take mobile orders since we ordered over a screen. A lot of pick up came so pretty popular which I understand because the food was so good.It's really nice that they have the restaurant beautifully decorated, I personally think that drives in customers to check the place out. But I definitely say the food will bring people back.

I probably come here with my bf for takeout once a month after work around 5:00. Every time I come the parking situation is tough. Despite a big parking lot, there must just be a lot of popular stores cause I generally have to kick my bf out while I idle in the corner of the lot. However the food itself is great. Their original Koja sandwich is super tasty. I've added egg before for that extra protein but I must say the egg is too soft to survive the crispy rice buns. When I bite into the sandwich the liquid if the egg gets everywhere, but it's just so tasty.I usually get their chicken or crispy chicken bowl, sometimes with salad instead of rice and add an egg and sometimes avocado (what can I say gotta add all the colors haha). These bowls taste great fresh though once they cool down their flavor fades quickly. I don't fault them for this because part of the charm of the bowl is the difference in temperature between the greens and the chicken/rice, so if you're ordering with the intention of having leftovers I'd just caution you to not expect much from the leftovers.I always order the kamikaze fries and sometimes also the umami fries. Both are so addicting but I'd have to say there's something about the sweetness of the Korean bbq beef that whispers in my ear to order it every time I'm in Koja. Would recommend the kamikaze fries.

Did takeout lunch from this location and it was easy to order online, and the food was ready on time with pleasant, efficient service. I was a little skeptical about the California spam musubi, but it's surprisingly worked with the avocado and imitation crab on top of crisped up spam and sticky rice. I only wish I had some soy sauce to use as a dipping sauce.The short rib bowl contained a healthy portion of rice and lightly dressed salad, with a decent portion of chunks of marinated short ribs, which had a good flavor, but we're not as tender as I had hoped. I added an egg that I would be over easy but there was almost no yolk and it was definitely well cooked. The accompanying mild Kim Chi was good and complemented the rest of the flavors.
