I catered Galbi and japchae for my party. Everything was delicious especially kimchi. The best kimchi I ever had.

Mina's is a solid Korean food spot where I have always had a positive experience. The servers are attentive and nice, and the portions and price will make any Korean foodie satisfied. They offer plenty of banchan and options. I always order the bibimbap which always leaves me full to bursting. The meat is perfectly marinated and they present a decent amount in your meal - many other restaurants skimp out on the protein. They pour everyone warm tea instead of water. It can get crowded at times but other times there's enough seating. It's cozy and it's not loud like other restaurants. The parking lot might be a little tight or run out of space. I'm excited to return to Minas again.

Mina's is hands down my favorite Korean bbq place in the Bay Area. No fancy interior or table side cooking. They just serve delicious food with fresh bonchon at reasonable prices. They are located right across Samsung and if it wasn't authentic, Koreans wouldn't come here. We eat here all the time and the service is great with hot tea served for free. Our go-to is gal bee and spicy bulgogi.

Went here for lunch and there was a line. Wasn't too bad of a wait and the owner took or order while we waited. He was very attentive to the customers and followed up with whatever he said. He even gave us extra rice. Food was delicious. Not the best Korean delicious but definitely returning in the future. It was a small space but clean, typical small kind mom and pop place. Great service!!

I would rate this place 4.5 stars! Mina's felt like a nice little mom and pop restaurant. Their food tasted like some very tasty homestyle cooking and the owners(?) both checked up on us often to see if we needed anything else. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I ate, but didn't feel gross afterwards. We got the Al tang and fried flounder to share between two people, which was just about the right portion size.

I love Mina's BBQ! Have been coming here for years. Especially my favorite dish is their kimchi jigae. For me, Mina's kimchi jigae is the best. Great customer service is plus!

Mina's korean bbq is a family owned korean restaurant located across the street from the Samsung office. It is a very homey feeling place with very courteous staff They are very nice and can help give recommendations if you're not sure what you want. The parking lot is very big but can get filled if its high time. Their side dishes are very fresh and you can ask for refills. Their soondubu was a very homey version and their kimchi pancake was pretty big. Most people get their meat dishes if you are craving that. Overall if you don't want to wait at the other popular korean restaurants this is the place to be!

FOOD: 4 SERVICE: 3 AMBIANCE: 3 VALUE: 4 There doesn't seems to be as many Korean restaurants east of El Camino. But you will find one of the best Bibimbab here. We've had a variety of dishes here, but our go to are: Gal Bee Dol Sot Bi Bim Bab - Korean BBQ short ribs over hot stone rice. For starters, not many Korean restaurants offer Galbee with the Bim Bab. You get a generous serving of the BBQ short ribs. Galbi Tang - beef short rib soup with egg, spring onions and glass noodles. Tons of meat in a savory broth. I usually order this as my main dish and I seldom finish it all. Great place to go for authentic Korean food.

I was in San Jose for a tech event sponsored by Dell and of course, I had to find some good food as the options at Top Golf were mediocre. Yelp suggested Minas korean BBQ, which was a short 10 min drive away. The place was not busy at 5:30pm so we got seated right away. I took no time to order and was already sold on the galbi based on the photos of this place. You'll notice it's in a very unassuming business park. A literal hole in the wall with really good(!!!!) ratings. I had the entire sizzling platter of short ribs myself. It was so good. The seafood pancake was for sharing and between 3 people we ended up having leftovers. The bonchon was especially delicious. I really liked the kimchi and fish cake. That's probably why we had so many leftovers, lol. A keeper in my book. The food here is definitely on par with the top ayce kbbq restaurants. The drive down here isn't as bad as it used to be. I took the express lanes down 101 in both directions and the cost was well worth it. You're welcome.

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a decent and quiet experience. Parking was available on the street as well as in the private strip mall lot. Dining was available both indoors and outdoors. Ordering was available online as well as inside the restaurant. Started off with the short ribs lunch entree and it was huge. The short ribs were well grilled, super flavorful and fragrant, although on the lean side. There was a generous selection of side dishes including pickled cucumbers, kimchi, and fish cake. The seafood pancake was huge and we had a ton of leftovers. The pancake had plenty of squid and vegetables and came with a tasty dipping sauce. Staff was friendly and cordial throughout the entire meal. Definitely a mom and pop shop ~$26/head after tax and gratuity for lunch.
