Obok Restaurant

There are many dishes not often seen in other Korean restaurants. We had the intestine tofu soup and sea food tofu soup and a Korean style sausage to go. The soups come with eggs inside it already. Lots of tofu with little intestines or sea food. The soup tastes great! There are many dishes and soups containing Korean style sausage. So we had ordered one to go. It comes with a spicy pickle sauce and pink salt. It’s clear green bean noodle and pig blood filled sausage. To eat it with the sauce, a pinch of salt, or the pickled vegetables is an adventure of taste buds!

Bare bones Korean restaurant in Santa Clara area along El Camino near Lawrence Expressway - the area has a huge concentration of Korean restaurants sprinkled in strip malls for a 3 mile stretch. Very authentic and may not be fully appreciated by a non-Korean diner. The appetizers were not great but the entree (we had beef sukiyaki) was good. One of very few Korean eateries open at mid-morning. Service was polite and cheerful.

다른가게에서 비계 가득 보쌈 먹고 이동네 보쌈은 맛없는가보다 하고 기대 안하고 있었는데ㅠ 그래도 보쌈 너무 먹고 싶어서 찾다가 평점이 높은편이라 왔어요 보쌈 고기 양도 많고 고기도 실하고 된장이 완전 시골 할머니 된장 보쌈무김치도 새우젓갈 쓰셨는지 시원하고 감칠맛 나서 좋아요

주차장이 있지만 여유가 넘치는 주차장은 아닙니다. 소규모식당이고 한식먹기에 좋은 식당입니다. 반찬도 자극적이고 맛있습니다

Small place but soondae and tukbokkee tasted just like how I remember it from Korea.

If you want just great Korean food, especially soondae, without caring too much about interior, atmosphere, cleanliness, etc., then this is it. Obok is a pure statement for "food matters most". And when you are at Obok, you must try their soondae-guk - the soup with soondae in it. It really is the signature, the heart and soul of true Korean comfort food. The soup that drains your woes and grogginess from a hangover. The owner and the server ladies are super nice and would love to always give you more. You feel love, rather than a transaction. And yes, the restaurant won't come across as the clean, modern, date-night, type of fare. But that's okay. Sometimes you just want that love felt from your aunt or grandma. You just simply have to love Obok and it'll love you back. Parking: Many parking lots in the overall plaza. Lot's of restaurants in that Korea-town strip mall so it can get crowded on weekends.
