About Us

At Tangjip Restaurant, we serve more than just Korean comfort food — we serve a piece of culinary heritage shaped by passion, tradition, and community.

Under the leadership of Micha Oh, CEO and visionary behind Tangjip, our mission is to bring the warmth and familiarity of Korean home-style cooking to every table. Micha Oh’s influence on the Bay Area’s Korean food scene is deep and lasting. A Seoul native who came to Oakland in the 1980s with a dream and humble beginnings, she built a thriving restaurant family over decades and emerged as a mentor and driving force for Korean cuisine in the region.

With more than 30 restaurants under her leadership, Micha has championed Korean food and culture — nurturing new talent, expanding opportunities, and blending time-honored tradition with modern expression. Tangjip is part of this legacy: a place where families and friends gather to enjoy the rich flavors of dishes that feel both comforting and unforgettable.

Our menu celebrates classic favorites that evoke memories of shared bowls, warm stews, and lively conversations. We believe in the power of food to bring people together, and Tangjip is designed to be a cozy and welcoming space for every guest — whether it’s your first visit or a weekly ritual.

At Tangjip, we honor the heritage of Korean cooking while inviting you to make it part of your own story — one delicious meal at a time.
