6 reviews for Koja Grille
When Im on campus, I don't spend real people money. I use Diamond Dollars.
When I'm on campus, I don't eat campus cafeteria food. I go to Koja.
Koja started out as a Food Truck on Penn's campus and the kids loved it so much they turned it into a restaurant and then one came to Temple. I've been coming here since I was a freshman and even made it a Sunday night ritual "family" dinner when I still lived on campus. Almost three years later and I'm still coming back for more.
I love "the Line", you can pick your starch (either rice, soba noodles, or udon noodles, your meat (chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu), and your spice (teriyaki, hot n spicy, or something a little sweeter? I always go for the hot n spicy chicken with soba noodles.
When the food comes, you also get a little salad and a side of garlicky green beans. I think those are my favorite or maybe the vegetables mixed in with my noodles. The portions are huge but somehow I seem to finish it completely every time. I got all of my friends to become devoted fans of Koja as well.
I came here twice:
1st time - Late night craving for soon du bu and i was satisfied.
2nd time - i had yakiudon w/ chicken & my friend had jobchae w/ tofu and we shared but came to the conclusion that it's a bit pricey and not that good. but for me the string bean side thing kind of made it better for me ?
well whatever, i've not given up on koja grille yet ! next time i'll try the katsus.. just not sure when next time is.
First of all huge portions. I love the food at Koja. Though it can get kinda up there in price a little bit when you get an entree plus drink, usually around $10 or just under, it's worth it.
The food is unique, a great variety of noodle dishes. The beef bulgogi wrap is pretty awesome. I'd eat here all the time if I had the will power to not finish the ridiculously huge serving they give me.
Delicious! get the line for $7.99 you eat like a king! its a great place to eat
This blend of Korean and Japanese is a great spot for a quality, casual, and fast lunch experience near Temple University's law school.
The menu provides a few choices:
1) The easy way is to combine a sauce (hot, teriyaki, or a soy sauce blend), meat (chicken, tofu, etc) and your choice of various noodles or rice. This is what I consistently go for as the various blends from their "line" are fresh, plentiful, and delicious. On the side, with these orders, you get a small salad and green beans.
2) Koja also has wraps, stews, wings, and an ever expanding selection of appetizers.
3) The Koja Classics are also of top quality, with my personal favorite being the Job Chae.
With a drink (from the cooler iced teas, sodas, etc) you can walk out of Koja Grille full and satisfied for around $9. It isn't the cheapest place around, but it is one of the best lunch options.
This place is great. Koja is one of the few places that I consistently eat at. The bibambap is a great meal, but if you're not used to eating korean food, I would try "the line".
