Koja Kitchen - Fremont

When our food arrived, it was cold, and the chicken specifically was not up to standard. I informed the staff about the cold food, but she offered some unhelpful excuses, including that the sauce I supposedly added was the cause—though I hadn’t even touched the sauce yet. Frustrated, I took only a few bites before deciding to leave the rest of our meal on the tray. I had been really looking forward to this meal after reading the glowing reviews, so this was a significant letdown. I doubt I’ll ever return, and I wish I could get my money back or go back in time to choose a more reliable place, like Habit Burger or The Kabab Shop, that consistently delivers a good experience!

As a first-time customer, I ordered the Original Koja burger, which comes with 'rice buns.' I also wanted fries and was recommended the Cali fries. With a 15% tip, my total came to about $19. The burger was excellent and had a generous amount of meat. The fries were tasty but didn't seem worth the price to me. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was well-kept. I'll definitely try the rice bowl on my next visit.

The food was noticeably sweeter than the Korean cuisine I’m accustomed to. The Soju left a bad aftertaste, which I later discovered was due to an artificial sweetener. While the quality of the food was good, I love Japanese cuisine, and this didn’t meet my expectations. The presentation of the dishes was appealing. My daughter enjoyed the food, but my wife and I had a different opinion. The service was excellent. Overall, I would rate the food a 4 out of 5.

Wow, the Kamikaze Fries are incredible! I absolutely recommend them!

Most of the dishes were great, but next time I'll stick to the Beef KoJa. The buns for the Short Rib Bun Burger had a strange taste, and I would have been better off ordering two KoJa instead. However, you haven’t truly experienced life until you’ve tried the Kamikaze Fries!
