About this restaurant

Japanese-Mexican fusion foods are most commonly found in the food truck scene, making the uniqueness of the flavors somewhat hard to find for diners who prefer a traditional restaurant setting. Fortunately, Burnt Rice in San Jose provides those flavors in a standard sit-down eatery. In other words, Burnt Rice offers traditional Mexican favorites like burritos and nachos that are then combined with kimchi and Korean-style rice and beef. Some of the fusion flavors diners are sure to enjoy include the kimchi po'boy, katsu chicken sandwich, burritos, tae kwon do wings and kung pao chicken. There are also plenty of traditional Korean dishes such as Korean BBQ. Burnt Rice offers both pickup and delivery options for anyone seeking to make their meal option an easier one.

    Our table tried all different dishes and everyone was happy. So we can vouch for the spicy pork, the burnt rice tacos, koriake chicken burrito and the famous Burnt Rice BBB. Service was friendly at every level. We would definitely go back.

    We've tried a number of items at this restaurant. The kalbi, bulgolgi, and kimchi were excellent and a nice portion size. I would go there just for that. Also tried a few of the fusion items (some type of taco or burrito?) which really didn't work as well. But I like to see restaurants being creative and trying new things, so I give them a thumbs up for trying something different. I'll probably stick to the Korean dishes mainly next time I go.

    Nothing special at all about the food here. They claim to be asian fusion but they don't execute on much.

    The food is pretty good, but I find the sauces are overly sweet. Example, on the calamari, the sweetness of the sauce overpowered the tase of the calamari. They could use less sugar.

    It was our first time there. It's conveniently located at a nice shopping plaza. Parking is great. Service was great. The food quality is fair. I wouldn't rate it superb. It's a good place to go for a regular lunch or dinner. But nothing fancy there except true menu is different from many Korean restaurants. It's fused with Californian and Mexican styles, which I thought is their selling point.

    The food was very interesting and delicious, the service was prompt, and the atmosphere a bit bright and loud for my taste. I would gladly return for the restaurant's interesting take on traditional flavors.

    The Korean - Mexican taco truck concept that took LA by storm and has the rest of the country copying has been translated in to a fixed restaurant. They have some good traditional Korean dishes mixed in with a bunch of fusion Korean. It's a nice idea and we enjoyed our dishes a lot.

    We enjoyed the authentic Korean food. Not so much the small dining area which is also a sports bar feel.
