Spoon Korean Bistro - Fremont

We have been to this restaurant several times a week and the food is consistently excellent! The kimchi is also delicious. The beef soft tofu dish is outstanding. P.S, my 10-year-old wrote this review. Food: 5/5

I recently tried one of the best Bibimbaps at this restaurant - it was amazing! I also enjoyed the vegetable pancakes and the Spicy Tofu Ramen, the flavors were outstanding. I will definitely be returning to try more dishes.

I arrived at 7pm on a Monday and the restaurant was very busy. There was only one waitress tending to about 10 tables, so the service was a bit slow. The Hot Stone Bibimbap is a must-try! I like to let the rice sit for a few minutes before mixing it to get a crispy bottom. We ordered the beef Bibimbap and it had a slightly sweet flavor that complemented the savory dish well. The seafood pancake was crispy and packed with seafood, but it was quite salty even without the sauce. The restaurant was clean and if you check in on Yelp, you can get a free drink (although they seemed hesitant). I would definitely come back again!

Food was decent. I always love a hot stone bibimbap and i like that they let you choose between the purple and white rice. Unfortunately it wasn't particularly flavorful. I got the beef and it was seasoned well but the dish overall was definitely lacking. The free bonchon they give was delicious. Service was good, we came in for lunch on a week day with a group of 10. It's a relatively small place but they were able to accommodate us which was awesome. It was also surprisingly fast for being such a large group. I'd come back because of the convenience, but it's not on the top of my list from a flavor point of view.
