Rice Junky - Santa Clara (Korean Restaurant)

First off; important to note that the establishment changed name/owner, from Kotetsu Ramen to Rice Junky) so the Google reviews are mixed from past and future.

I was craving something "ricey" and with a name like Rice Junky, went in to try it out blind. Just ordered their CC Chicken bowl, and was pleasantly surprised ans pleased. The chicken was clearly the star or the bowl, but the kimchee rice could have had more kimchee in it, and not just flavor. The flavor was there but the tang was missing. The sides, mac, celery, tomatoes were ok bon chan sides but don't come close to the regular bonchan at kbbq places. Even with that, I'd come back for lunch. Portions are huge so get a box to-go too.

Fun new-ish restaurant. I'm no expert in food, but i can say that both the bowls we had were very tasty. The fried pork was cooked great. Crispy outside, with tender meat inside. The beef bowl was also very nicely prepared. No complaints. The staff was friendly. And for fun, they have a robot waiter to bring you the dishes.

if you’re hungry and want huge portions for a good price this is the spot!!!! never been to a restaurant with a robo waiter before so that was cool— you can order and pay on your phone and then just sit back and wait for the robot. flavorful and filling. the bowl is probably the best bang for your buck. the staff were all really friendly and helpful.

They use a cute robot to deliver your food to your table! I know this has been a norm in Asia countries but it is still quite a sight to see it here in the Bay Area. Food wise it was decent. The Firery Mountain ramen was too spicy (you can't change spicy level) but the CC chicken and pork skewers were Perfecto.

New K-Pub In Town

Drove here to think that the restaurant I used to go was still here, turns out there’s a new restaurant in town! We came here without any prior knowledge of the restaurant. We were first greeted by two really awesome women. They were very friendly, approachable and helpful explaining things in the menu. The restaurant is well-lit, spacious, and seats are comfortable. They also have great Japanese/Korean pop musics that are actually enjoyable with great vibes! Ordering is easy using two methods: through QR code or the traditional order method. We ordered online and prompted us to pay already! Easy PZ! Anyway, I ordered pork bulgogi over kimchi fried rice, and my bf ordered Beef Intestine over Kimchi Fried Rice (I was going to order the intestine, but I opted in to ordering something to two things). We also ordered croquette and seafood pancake as a side dish.
They have different types of sauce- chili sauce (which is almost similar to chipotle sauce), white sauce (which has sweet and chili flavor in it), ketchup, and homemade BBQ sauce. The seafood pancake is pricy, average taste but overall good in my opinion (but could be better). The croquette was freshly made, and it was really good with the white sauce. For the main dish, I will definitely order the beef intestine again. I personally liked the white sauce for all of them. However, it seems reasonable to order egg rice instead of kimchi fried rice so that you can distinguish the taste of meat all in all. I also HIGHLY recommend you drink Soju with it (I was not able to). Organ meats tend to taste better for me with alcohol (at least in our Filipino culture). However, with or without it, I love the texture, the spiciness and the tenderness of the meat.

Overall, I highly welcome this new place, and I will definitely come back here again! Bring your friends out here and grab drinks!
