Oshio - Chico

BRO the octopus is so good, love the rice they gave along with it. (Even asked if I wanted extra rice for no cost! And has really nice seating. (Bar, high table, booth-ish tables. Food: 5/5

I’m so happy to see that Chico has an authentic Korean restaurant with flavors better than many of the authentic sit downs I’ve been to in the Bay Area. The food is delicious and there are great options for both vegetarians and meat eaters.The only downside to this location is its atmosphere leaves a little to be desired. The seating area is somewhat rudimentary definitely more of a casual lunch place than a fancy dinner spot.Please visit this place! It deserves more love.

Authentic Korean cuisine food impressed me I’m an international student.Unfortunately, American prices but worth it.They need to turn up the AC during summer because the heat is unbearable, especially if you’re having spicy food.Food: 5/5

I was surprised that the food was pretty authentic in flavor. It wasn't Korean fushion. It is cafeteria style where you order at the counter and they bring the food out. The soondubu hit the spot after a long trip from Oregon. A couple of improvements. The rice was served on a plate with the other banchan--side dishes. This is not traditional, and the amount was rice was very small. The rice wasn't cooked to perfection either, so this is an area of improvement. We were a party of 9 and some dishes came out faster than others so some of us were done by the time the other foods came. They also didn't really know what kind of utensils were needed for which foods. For example we were given only chopsticks for bibimbap when a spoon was required. They accidentally burned their last serving of sesame chicken, so one of the people in our party had to order something else. He paid the difference, but it should have been comped. The place was warm and a fan was running, which isn't so great in 100-degree weather. The other negative is that the two spouses were arguing and fighting. If you aren't Korean, it probably wouldn't bother you, but we understood everything that was said. I would come back if I'm in the area again despite all that was mentioned.

Excellent food. The counter and ordering is a bit awkward. You are greeted by very high, blocked off counters when entering, look up at the menu and go to the far counter to order. Other than that, food is amazing. I hope they can survive. This town has been missing out on Korean food forever. My best friend growing up was Korean and I've been missing her mama's food for ages. Not as good as that but, when you haven't had tteokboki for 20+ years...it's heaven.
