The food was just ok but lady was super rude. She did not even know what she is selling. I asked spicy level (kiosk had less spicy, 1, 2, 3). She did not know what is medium. She was definitely bothered when I asked. She asked to just select anything or less spicy. ???? Basic communication cannot be done with this lady.

To be fair, I can’t rely comment on atmosphere once this place is located in a food court. Be advised there are two food operators here but under the same name of Mao-Shiho - one is the Chinese restaurant and the other is Japanese selling their tonkatsu. I happened to order from both sides and it appears that they work from the same kitchen so that meant while one side was cranking out food, the other side waited. Ordered he jajang myeon from the Chinese side and the King Donkatsu from the other. The jajang myeon looked good and was tasteless. My friend also ordered it and thought the same so I wasn’t alone! The King Donkatsu is impressive in size alone but size doesn’t help taste! The meat was overwhelmed by the outer batter and wasn’t very tasty. The presentation on a skillet was the most memorable part of the meal because the katsu was the size of the entire skillet! The meal was pretty underwhelming and 3 stars is on the generous side since it’s not a place we’ll return to. I also included a photo of the regular size donkatsu for scale.

Has the boss changed? I ordered jjajangmyeon, but the taste and quality was like cheap jjajang from a Korean rest stop. Even if I pay more, I hope the taste and quality goes up.

Source OC sells a lot of Korean food, so they have to use traditional methods a lot. I wonder if the people who do business while came over from Korea. Traditional Jjajangmyeon basically has pork in it, so they put in 4 small piece pork that I can't even find 4 small piece pork, and they charge a lot of money. And they set the price based on the type of meat a fried rice, and they charge more than the basic price. This is because people who only care about money are in business. As I who has lived here for over 30 years, I hope this business that does such absurd things fails. As a fellow Korean, it's embarrassing to other ethnicities. Compare original Jajangmyeon.

Ate their fried rice while visiting The Source last week. Bland, predictable food. Very little taste. The soy sauce they give you that are in those little packets really tore up my stomach and I spent the rest of the day holed up in my bathroom. Very low quality soy sauce. Lots of other options for food nearby so I’ll skip this place in the future.
Parking: It’s fairly busy around lunch and parking was hard to find.

I am surprised at how low the reviews are. This is personally my favorite korean-chinese fusion restaurant. My favorite is the jjamppong.

It's in the review below, but I think the cashiers' attitude here needs to be fundamentally corrected. I ordered Jjajangmyeon on Saturday morning, but since they don't mix the sauce all together, I asked them to put the sauce in a different bowl, but the kitchen said they didn't like it and wouldn't do that. Is that such a difficult ask? So I decided to serve it separately, but ended up just pouring the sauce over the noodles. And when I asked for a regular bowl to lessen the sauce, what is the spirit of charging extra for it?Is this really the boss's policy or is this the cashiers' arbitrary actions? If it is the boss's policy, then it should be corrected. If it is not the boss's will but the attitude of the cashiers, it would be good to correct that as well. And I hope it tastes good, so if possible, it would be better if you take this opportunity to do something about it.
Sweet and sour pork is worst I ever had. Does not taste good at all. They made tang su yok using katsu pork meat. It’s really hilarious. Don’t waste your money. Careless food serving.

Ordered mapo tofu and some spicy chicken. Definitely the worst mapo tofu I’ve eaten. Chicken wasn’t that much better. The food was so terrible for the price we paid for.

What's really ambiguous here is that the jjamppong is really delicious, the ingredients are freshly used, and even the sweet and sour pork is much more delicious than last year. But the cashier was very unfriendly and said she would take away the leftover jjamppong, but she insisted on charging me for the soup bowl... haha. It's a strange place where you feel good after eating well, but then feel bad when you leave. Does anyone decide before eating whether or not I will have leftovers and ask them to toss it in when ordering? It's not like they charge more for packaging if you order it (but it doesn't make sense to charge more for packaging at that price.) Even if it's expensive, if it's delicious, I'm the type of person who happily pays, but I was ridiculous when I was trying to pack up the leftovers after eating well, and they said they would charge 50 jeon more for the radish packaged soup bowl. I said I only have a card, so I'll buy two haha. Buying two is $1, but $1 is a card and 50 won isn't it, right? Hahaha. Anyway, it was a ridiculously unpleasant place in many ways. Boss, did you read it? please think about it

Just ordered tang su yuk, which is the fried pork with sweet sour sauce. I have waited about 25 minutes after ten orders from other places have been served. Not only that the pork seemed to have gone bad, it tasted sour and the batter was filled with excess grease from not being fried properly. Now I'm suffering from massive diarrhea, I hope the owner gets it together.
