Usually Korean restaurants in America can be separated into two categories. Korean restaurants frequented by the Korean Americans, which normally is a good sign that food is good and authentic... and the Korean restaurants frequented by and catered to non-Koreans. They are not all bad, but as a Korean who grew up eating Korean food we, or at least myself can be picky about even the smallest of subtlety whether proper banchan (side dishes) is served or how good kimchi is. Being located in Fremont I expected the latter as far as the quality of food since Fremont is not known for having large Korean residences like Lynnwood and Federal Way, but Pal Mi on two occasions I went was on par with what I hoped a good Korean restaurant would be. Their dol sot bibimbap was delicious and plentiful, and their Kalbi and bulgogi was delicious, reasonably priced and was huge hit with my non Korean friends. I highly recommend this place.

Love the food, the staff was quick and nice. I wished they served green tea tho...
I would have given a 5, but my rice was cold. But everything else was so yum. If you can handle heat. Suggest the spicy chicken. Amazingly hot. Their beef bulgogi so yum.
They had Halloween themed music playing which was fun. The servers were very helpful. My server was Andy, and he was very good, but all the servers helped and were all very kind and helpful. They gave me what I believe was complementary kimchi stew (I'm not sure if it just comes with the dish I ordered or not) which was very good.
Overall was pretty good. The side were mostly good, although the kimchi was a bit salty. I had the bibimbap for a main and it was prepared well.
The service was great. The lady that works there at the front is super nice and tries to be as fast and efficient as possible I felt like. The food was good in my opinion. They give you pretty good sized portions.
Great experience! No wait time at all if you come in around before dinner hour. We came here at 4pm and got seated right away. The price is reasonable for both All You Can Eat and individual dishes. There are multiple grilled combo options. Medium Combo portion is way more than enough to feed 2. Definitely come back here.
Delicious food and great service!! Will definitely return soon and recommend to my friends!

Great food! Pretty reasonable price when split up among a good group of people. Servers were very kind!
One of the best Korean BBQ place. Our family ordered QUALITY MEAT (which came with 2 large meat platters), bibimbap, and soft tofu jjigae and one soju drink. The bill was less than $200!! Our servers were so friendly and attentive. All the food and the side dishes were so good. We especially loved SPICY MARINATED PORK on the platter. If you want to order one dish, I highly recommend SPICY MARINATED PORK, you can’t go wrong with that. The owner mentioned promo starting next week, 15% off for UW students!!
Great quality food and they have soju. Baanchan is large but costs extra to refill. Grills have vacuum fans so you don't get all smokey. Beef brisket is a must!
I alternate between KHD Baekjong, Quarters, Parks, and maybe a Soot Bull Jeep in Ktown in LA weekly, so I'm a KBBQ fanatic. In the Seattle Area, Palmi Korean BBQ near University of Washington is 100% equal to KHD Baekjong, meat wise. Service leaves a lot to be desired (1 star off for having to ask for anything and everything, and having to cook my own food at this price point), but dare I say their marinated short rib meat has a better marinade..not as sweet, more garlic flavor. The brisket I got had more marbling than I've seen in the past year at KHD. The ban chan is better, since KHD basically only gives Kim chi and radish wraps. I can't recommend this place enough. Their spicy garlic dipping sauce is amazing.
