Spoon Korean Bistro - Fremont

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.

The place was quiet and the interior was simple modern look. Immediately greeted by a lady who works there with kindness. The menu was very simple, and the food was delicious not to mention to the generous portion. Definitely coming back here for quick or long meals.

I recently had Spoon Korean Bistro again and now I am a fan! I skipped on the tofu soup and got the hot stone bibimbap with purple rice and it was delicious and fulfilling. The hot stone is a must! I love the crispy toasted rice and it keep the rest of the other ingredients warm. The banchan selection this time was also yummy, my favorite was the mayo seaweed. We waited a while for our food but it was also because we came during the lunch rush hour. I'm definitely going to add this spot to my lunch list!

My coworker and me ordered soft tofu soup. Last time our orders come with 4 small side dishes. This time they only gave one side dish. We called and were told that “sorry, we are busy, so only one side dish today. Next time you will have 4 side dishes”. WHAT!!!!???? are you oh kidding me?I understand you might have no time to pack 4 side dishes for our orders as you explained over the phone with your broken English. Then shouldn’t you provide a discount?? We paid the full price! Oh btw…. My coworker saw you put 4 side dishes in other people’s orders…….We offered to go back picking up other side dishes, guess what? the lady hung up!Unbelievable…. Bad service
