Koryo Jajang

If you want a fancy place, go elsewhere. The decor is pretty much fast food, but the food quality and value is excellent. Not a great place to bring a date, but a nice place for a family. We'll be coming back again at some point.

Support your local area and restaurants in Oakland because this is a very good place to go.

Temperature hot foods came out in record time but tasted so so, think fast food. Price low, good portions!

I'm in Southern California but I'd gladly make the trip up north just for this restaurant!! The service was perfect, the aroma that fills the building is beyond tempting, and the menu is simple but has many flavorful choices. The noodles are fresh and completely worth an 8 hour drive. Right before I left one of the cooks had just brought out some freshly folded dumplings and they smelled beyond amazing! So I'm sure the dumplings are definitely worth a try too.

I’m always here for the Jajang fried rice. It’s simple, “comforty”, and hits your table steaming hot. It also comes with a bowl of spicy soup that’s about two notches higher than my comfort level. Although the Jajang sauce looks like a thick, viscous, black 5W-30 that missed a few 30,000 mile oil changes, it’s absolutely delicious. The shop is not big or fancy but it really does not have to be.
