After visiting the wine bar, we ventured to this restaurant for the first time. Nestled in downtown Fullerton, it's just a short walk from Twisted Vine, where we initially gathered with old friends from Southern California. Eager to continue our conversation in a Korean-style setting, we opted for beer and Korean appetizers. A pitcher of Asahi beer accompanied by Salt & Pepper deep-fried pork (돼지 탕수육) and Wontons with Chili Sauce hit the spot, all recommended by our friendly waiter. Despite the slight chill on the outside patio, they promptly turned on the heater for us, ensuring our comfort as we savored the atmosphere, cuisine, and service during our 40 years of friendship celebration.

Very nice Korean restaurant for big or small groups. Friendly servers, who were very helpful and delivered the food quickly even though we were a very large group. There were heaters for the outside seating. Lots of drink options, I especially reccomend the soju cocktail pitchers. Ours had lots of fun colored ice and came with fresh lychee.Dietary restrictions: Good options for dietary restrictionsParking: Plenty of parking, even on a Friday night.
I absolutely love this place. Noodles and wings are awesome. The half and half noodle is a genius idea ?

So not being Korean I don't know a lot of the dishes. But this place was awesome for me. And I normally avoid eating in ethnic places full of white people. But I was the only giant white guy there. I would love to come back soon. Great happy hour specials! Friendly staff.
Fourth time coming here with my wife for dinner , they were super busy, but service was still on point. The food was really good and the atmosphere great like always.
Came here with a party of 6 for our friends birthday. Food was delicious, I highly recommend the corn cheese and spicy rice cakes. We also got the army stew which had generous servings, the garlic chicken, and the fried rice. However, service was quite bad and slow. They didn't offer us any water, we had to ask for it, and we didn't even get real cups (they gave us the white plastic ones). It was hard to flag down any servers and we didn't get checked up on. We could only ask for things when they brought our food out but they would often forget what we asked for (if we asked for more water and napkins, they would only bring the water). The food was spicy so not having napkins sucked.

I used to come here all the time with my sister and we absolutely loved it. We don't live particularly close so we eventually just stopped going but my boyfriend and I were in the area, on our way to another restaurant and I saw Cafe Patio and honestly freaked. I was so excited, I completely forgot how delicious this place is and I knew right there our other dinner plans were going out the window and I'm so glad my boyfriend got to experience the deliciousness that is Cafe Patio! The service is amazing, extremely attentive and really quick, they also have service buttons at the table and once it's pressed you wait seconds before someone shows up, the ambiance is really chill so it makes for the perfect little date night spot but also a great place to watch a game and converse with friends. The food is beyond delicious, I don't think I've ever had something from here that I didn't absolutely love. The vegetable egg rolls were cooked to perfection and I actually really liked that they cut them in half, the sweet and sour sauce was a really good paring. The bulgogi fries were always a must so my boyfriend ordered those and they were good but we definitely wished there was more bulgogi and when we asked for an extra side of it, the waiter said because of pricing and their system, they couldn't do that but all in all, still delicious. My absolute favorite thing used to be the soy garlic wings, I could eat so many of those and still want more but I wasn't feeling wings so I ordered the fried spicy garlic entree with chicken (comes with rice) hoping it would essentially be the same thing and it was! It was everything I used to love and more! I love this place and I can't wait to come back here.
Good is great the service is friendly and the ambiance is nice with music I love the outside setting is great.

Good food and good vibe. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the food. My stomach got to it before my phone. Haha. My only disappointment is the restroom. It's a single communal restroom. Otherwise, I would recommend this place to everyone.
Was expecting great things after reading the reviews. Service and atmosphere are 5 star. Food was nothing special, Chicken Chow Mein pretty bland and not the best chicken, we've had a lot better on this trip.

Cafe Patio mixes Asian food & fun pub. They have delicious Chinese & Korean dishes, including famous Korean bar food. Food is so yummy and lots of tasty drinks. Friendly vibes here! This place has the super tasty roasted pork with good sides. Spicy Chicken Cheese is cheesy and goes with rice. The traditional Korean soup and Military Stew with ramen, meat, rice, and Kimchi, all tasty and hot. Many TVs for sports. Great for hanging out and watching games. Service is super friendly, gave us great recommendations! Will definitely come back!

We came across this gem after a Costco run! We wanted something away from busy downtown...They have a parking lot, so we did not struggle trying to find a spot. We walked in and were greeted right away. The ambiance was perfect, there a couple tables with young people and a few with families, the music was 90's and low enough to hear but be able to enjoy a conversation.The food was very tasty and enough for 2-3! We took advantage of the happy hour and tried a few things, it was perfect! Will definitely come back and try more dishes
