Obok Restaurant

Located along El Camino somewhere in Koreatown, parking is limited but I'd say enough for the size of the restaurant. There are a few reserved spaces specifically for the restaurant. Service was alright mainly due to the fact that the servers spoke little to no English making it a little difficult to communicate.8. Korean style sausage soup with napa - U Guh Ji Soon Dae Guk Bab (5/5): served in piping hot, the soup was so flavorful. For me the spice level was perfect. The sausage was so tender and the cabbage was good too.Tap to pay is not accepted. Overall, Obok Restaurant is a great place for some delicious Korean food.

Definitely a hole in the wall spot, but I think they have some of the best soondae in the bay area. The spicy cabbage soondae soup is so good! Tried the intestine tofu soup, which was also flavorful and delicious. For those who enjoy chicken feet, they're chicken feet is delectable - it's coated in a spicy sauce and they give you gloves to eat with it. If you're a fan of intestines, the soondae/intestine combo would be perfect. Their menu also has your more common Korean options like galbi, jap chae and combo tofu soup. Would recommend and they usually don't have a wait :')

unassuming mom n pop place esque place. i LOVE their gopchang bokkem and japchae. i normally wouldn't order japchae but honestly theirs was one of the best japchae ive ever had! i wish the price wasn't sooooo expensive on doordash tho then id def get food from here more.

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.

I found this little mom and pop shop in a shopping center. It's a small place with a dozen tables. Everything was in Korean and I heard only Korean from a lot of the people there. I didn't know what to order, so the lady recommended the beef soup that came with the usual kimchi and other sides with rice.Everything was very good and tasty! I really liked the kimchi and sprouts that had some spice and heat but not too much. Soup came out scalding hot with some noodles. Very nice staff. I felt like my aunt or grandma was feeding me.

this spot is such a gem. we enjoyed everything that we ordered. definitely would recommend the soybean noodles and the soondae gukbap. if you're a fan of intestines I recommend getting the combo intestine platter. the staff are super nice and they helped with seasoning our dishes. it's a small restaurant but service is pretty fast.

I came by to try some Korean blood sausage. It was ok - I don't think I'm a huge fan of blood sausage as I don't eat it very often (this was my second time) and it may be an acquired taste. The restaurant itself is very small so come during off hours to get a good seat. Lots of traditional items on the menu!

I really enjoyed coming to this restaurant to get my soup fix on, as I have been under the weather a LOT lately and Korean soups just hit the spot. Unfortunately, my appetite did not allow me to order the soondae platter with my soup so I have yet to sample their trademark dishes such as soondae guk, spicy soondae guk, or soondae. However, the beef and cabbage soup really did hit the spot. They put those ridiculously tiny little shrimp into the stock and while I usually don't care for seafood stocks with land animals in my soup the flavors were definitely balanced and the soup was hearty without being heavy, flavorful without being salty, and had plenty of fun goodies floating around like bulgogi chunks, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and radish.I want to come back to try the soondae sets of course but the goat stew and spicy soondae guk seem to be very popular as well.Very friendly husband and wife couple running the show and working their tootsies off. I was able to just relax and take my time nursing my "I'm so sick" mentality. I wasn't too sick to hit up Sulbing on the corner of the same plaza for a smoothie after; I had to cool down on a summer day after that hot bubbling soup, naturally.

Foods here tasted authentic korean foods. They are really good! I will definitely come back. The only downside is that the servers can't speak English well.

Good service, good foodI love their soondae it is one of the best in Santaclara. Their side dishes are also in good quality
