“ Love coming here for good chicken and more importantly, now the friendly environment! We always buy party tray sizes of the chicken for family functions. This was the first time actually having dinner inside the restaurant. Service was amazing! Food was of course delicious! And Peter, was very friendly! And for all my Oregonians in the east bay, come support this place! Go beavs! ”

“ TLDR; We've been going here for about two years now and highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, home-cooked Korean meals. -------- Ive advocated and shared my experience at this restaurant with many folks (i.e. family, friends, neighbors, and even FB community pages) and have so many positive things to say about them. My partner and I have been coming here for two years (at least five times a month!) since we moved to the area and they treat us like family every single time. Generous portions, authentic flavors, and every dish is made with so much care. Every time we visit, we notice it's not as busy as they deserve and encourage everyone to try them out sometime (or like us, too many times haha). Grace, the amazing chef and owner, along with her husband, welcomes every guest with open arms and ensures no one leaves hungry. If you need a recommendation, don't miss their ganjang chicken--it's juicy, flavorful, and comes in huge portions! Honestly, though, every dish on the menu is incredible because it's made with so much heart. Plus, the banchan (side dishes) are delicious! We even celebrated my 25th birthday there because I wanted my family to experience the same love and hospitality Grace and her husband, Sang, show us every time we visit. Needless to say, they were just as smitten as we are! The photo on my post is actually taken by Sang because he was so excited to celebrate my birthday with us So, if you're looking for a place that feels like home and fills your belly with delicious food, I encourage you to stop by My No. 1 BBQ & Tofu. I hope that you can join me in supporting this amazing small business and show them how much Newark loves them! ”

“ It's winter season, and the cold temperature today made me feel like eating something warm. The chicken here always keeps me coming back, but today the hot stone beef bimibap hit the spot. I need to come back and have their soups. If it's anything like their fried chicken and their bimibap, I know it's going to be delicious, especially in this weather. ”

“ A local mom and pop shop! Definitely try their fried chicken. The bento box combo is pretty clutch if you're wanting to try different items. The pop is the one manning front of house and he's really nice. It seems like there's only one or two other helpers, so there's a wait when a small handful of tables fill up. ”

“ Always a pleasure supporting a local mom and pop shop. I swung by for lunch one day and it was quiet and peaceful for a meal. Gentleman running the front door was very friendly and patient. Water is self served. Side dishes are available for a refill twice. They seem to be a very popular place for takeout ”

“ You HAVE to come here for the fried chicken! It's some of the best I've had; so crispy, flavorful, and juicy. The Gan Jang (soy garlic) flavor is my personal favorite. I've also had the Yang Nyum (sweet & spicy) which is also good but on the sweeter side. Tofu soup here is solid! I got the seafood tofu soup level spicy and they are very generous with the seafood. It comes with rice and an egg inside. Just wish the soup was spicier as it was very mild for it being level spicy. Dduk Bokki and Bibimbap were good but nothing mind blowing. Good amount of complimentary banchan is given! This spot is the definition of cozy. Owners are so friendly, food is super comforting, and the lighting is pretty dim. The owner likes to put kpop on the TV which is fun! Support family owned businesses! ”

“ Tteokbokki -- not too spicy, one egg is included! Noodles are chewy and flavored. Japchae -- yummy noodles with lots of veggies, it was seasoned well. Mandu -- very very crispy and warm! The filling was savory and warm. Banchan -- you can ask for more, all were delicious! Overall quick service, it's a nice mom and pop shop! All the food was served very fresh and warm! I would come back again. ”

“ Great spot for some fried chicken! Hard to decide on which flavor? Might as well live a little and get both. Order Kimbap with spam yakisoba with chicken half half ganjang/yang nyum chicken Service was fair and they do get pretty busy during the dinner rush. Be patient as it seems family owned and operated so 1 person running the register, seating, and taking orders can cause some waiting. Overall a good spot for chicken and we'll definitely do takeout next time we're in the area. ”

“ Always love love coming here. The food is so flavorful and generous in serving size. Love the two owners, they are sooooo sweet and friendly, even served me hot tea after my meal. Will definitely be back for more ”

“ This is a great local spot for Korean food! It's not K-town level, but it's a nice mom-and-pop shop with decent food and good portions. We always like to get the "bento" meals that includes a main dish, and your choice of sides. It's a really good value because there's more than enough food for two people. If you wanna get fancy, order an appetizer and split the bento with your boo, but don't forget that they have some authentic side dishes that come with your meal! Service is wonderful. The owners are super nice and greet you with a smile. They remember their repeat customers, even if it's just your second time. Ambiance is just ok. It's not fancy but it's also kind of cold. Water and tea are self-served. They also tend to not answer their phone for takeout orders, which has personally had me give up on ordering from them a few times already, so I can't imagine how much biz they lose from that. ”
