Kunjip
Korean
The dining room walls look like marble, the ceiling traces a ring of light around wood paneling, and the menu runs about a dozen items. This Santa Clara Korean restaurant keeps its focus narrow: the main pull is seolleongtang, a milky, slow-cooked beef bone broth with oxtail and slippery rice noodles. Weekends pack the strip mall with families willing to wait thirty minutes for a bowl, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Seolleongtang
“The former group goes for the seolleongtang, a rejuvenating noodle soup with a cloudy oxtail bone broth”
San Francisco Chronicle, 2026 -
Galbijjim
“the latter gravitates toward the galbijjim, a stone pot filled with short ribs, inch-thick rice cakes and soft chunks of pumpkin in a sweet, fiery braising liquid at raging boil.”
San Francisco Chronicle, 2026 -
Cold rice noodles
“However, cold rice noodles over an invigorating sweet and piquant sauce is the sleeper hit.”
