Good Food, Poor Atmosphere
I found this restaurant by chance thanks to a recommendation from a local. The food was delicious, leaning towards Korean cuisine. The staff were friendly.
However, the building felt large but many spaces were unoccupied, making it dark and the atmosphere unpleasant, so I felt the need to eat quickly and leave.

Good Food, Annoying Add-ons
My experience at Matko was a mixed bag. The bowls were flavorful and came with a good serving of meat, which I felt justified the $16 price tag. However, the add-ons felt like a way to nickel and dime customers, with charges for sauce, utensils, and even a bag.
This made every order feel like an exercise in frugality.

Delicious Tofu Soup and Caring Service
My experience at Matko was very positive. The tofu soup was delicious, and I appreciated the option to pay for extra rice. The service was super nice, with caring people.
A minor con for me is that the name is hard to remember. Overall, it was a great meal with excellent food and service.

Disappointing Pork Belly and Eco-Concerns
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I ordered the spicy pork belly, but it was just pork with no fat, and I found it to be average. Additionally, the restaurant exclusively uses takeout containers, which I find to be really bad for the environment.
I won't be returning.

Outstanding Korean Meal with Excellent Service
I recently revisited Valencia Street after a few years and decided to try out a new restaurant. My experience was marked by excellent customer service. I visited on Sunday, May 19, 2024, after 5 PM.
The restaurant was pleasantly quiet, which was perfect since I have a toddler who likes to run around. Although it wasn't my first time eating Korean food, the meal was outstanding. I had the Spicy Pork Bowl, and it was absolutely delicious.
If you enjoy spicy food, I highly recommend it! We will be back :)
