“This historic old Taco Bell building has had the makeover of a lifetime. Not only a fun little dining room but the food was amazing!!! Came in for the soft opening and will be back very soon. The Katsu and spicy curry was wonderful a nice bite but not too spicy. The dumpling's, cooked to perfection. Don’t pass this little gem by.“

“Just had the full spread at So Moon Nan Jokbal in Fullerton, and it was outstanding! The jokbal was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Every dish that came out was fresh, generous, and clearly made with care. The banchan, soups, and sides complemented the meal perfectly, making it one of the most satisfying Korean dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The hospitality was just as memorable as the food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Korean jokbal done right.“

“The quality of food and service at this place is amazing! Definitely a hidden gem but I’m glad I found it and have been back multiple times! Mrs. Sunhwa, always greets me with a smile and prepares everything so well! Can’t wait for the next time I’m in the area for another awesome bowl! 😋“

“One of my favorite spots for lunch in Downtown Fullerton. Spotlessly clean mom and pop spot, with friendly, helpful staff.

No frills. Just good food at a good price, served fast. Perfect spot for local employees to grab lunch and get back to the office in a half-hour.

If you haven't tried the Ubu, or you're weirded out by it, it's time to dive in and give it a try. Soft tofu skin, nice cool rice, and a heaping pile of your favorite filling. Honestly, they give you enough filling for two Ubus, easily. And it's delicious.

If you just want to pop in for a bowl of instant Ramyun, you cook it yourself on an EZ Cook, which is kinda fun. Plus, instant Ramen with an Ubu on the side for $10 is an unbeatable deal, right now.“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“Best best best Korean bbq in Fullerton Brea placentia Yorba linda area. After da Rae went out of business I had to find a new favorite spot. I love the Galbi. The cold noodle soup is top ranked number 1. And the bibimbap hot pot is great too.“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“The food was great. We asked for a lot of salad refills. Our server Madison was very friendly. Chicken was great. It's all baked. I love Korean chicken. Every time I come back to Buena Park, I always come here. Best chicken in town. Gobble chicken forever!“

“Great place to get Korean side dishes (banchan). Pick up some sides, make rice at home and dinner is a snap. Dishes are made with care and they also carry artisanal specialty items. One of my favorite places to go when I don't have time to cook.“

“This place exceeded our expectations! Every dish we ordered was delicious, especially the seafood jjamppong and the crispy fried chicken with fries. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the restaurant had a fun, authentic Korean pub vibe. If you’re looking for a great spot for dinner, drinks, and sharing plates with friends, I highly recommend this place. Definitely worth a visit!“

“I personally love their jajangmyeon. The best jajangmyeon I ever had was at Yong Moon Lu @ Rowland Heights (please try their gan-jajangmyeon/간짜장), but this one is pretty good too. The jjamppong is not bad either.

I will definitely come here again.“

“This is the Best Flame Broiler I’ve been to.
It’s amazing how the customer service can elevate a Franchise to the next level.
This business is 2nd to none.

See you tomorrow!

Thank you“

“My and bf always come here when we are in town. We found it one night while in downtown Fullerton because we really wanted Black Bean noodles. We are always trying to find places closer to home that serve the dish and make it as good, but haven’t been successful. The owners and servers are really nice and attentive.“

“My husband and I been coming even when this was a korean restaurant with amazing food and even more the service and now that it changed they're still amazing all around. We've became regulars for sure and witnessed their lunch rush today I am excited for more tasty and yummy korean food. 😊❤“

“I came before closing so the restaurant was quiet. I ordered the half and half bowl and it was more than satisfying. The beef and chicken were equally delicious. For added flavor you have to add the magic sauce.. Not spicy - just flavorful. I would like this place more if they had a location near Chicago. Very good restaurant. Very good food. Come check them out.“

“It’s a small shop in the neighborhood. We got there in time to get the last beef bulgogi bowl. We also got a spam kimbap and a tuna kimbap. I think tuna kimbap is my favorite. The price is reasonable. The lady was very friendly. I’d come back.“

“I stopped in here to pick up my lunch on my way to work, yeoshi took my order up front he was the most pleasant and wonderful person he made me feel welcomed he even offered me a glass of water while a waited for my food if there was more than 5 stars I'll give it to him as well . Thank u.“

“I had gotten the chicken ginseng soup and although the wait was a bit long, it was definitely worth the wait. They packaged up the food so well and gave side dishes such as rice, kimchi, spicy fish cake and etc.The soup was a life changing experience, it was like soothing to my core and left me feeling fulfilled. My emotions were calm after eating the soup. In the soup. There was a whole small chicken and stuffed with dates, and rice. The rice inside the chicken became almost creamy like congee and was the star of the show, to me. The chicken was tender and light on my stomach and the side dishes paired well with the entire meal. I look forward to coming back to this restaurant and trying more dishes.“

“Love their KBBQ & service“

“Nice atmosphere, 떡볶이, 비빔밥 너무 맛있어요. Red Tteokbokki and Deluxe BiBimBap were delicious and had to take home with me for leftovers. Servers were very nice and even with how busy they were it was clean and comfortable.“

“This is the only Flame Broiler with a drive-thru. I find it very convenient, as I don't have to stop and get out of the car. I just order, get the food and go. Excellent brown rice steak bulgogi with veggies. Always put on the bulgogi sauce. The red sauce is also very good. Friendly staff, too!“

“I love bbq chicken but for some reason I always have problems with this BBQ chicken in fullerton, the chain is amazing but one of the staff here don’t really care for the customers and to be honest I order the same thing every time and this time I ordered my same order but the young girl on the phone said they couldn’t do it yet I’ve been to multiple BBQ chickens and I also called 4 of the BBQ chickens for the same order and there was literally no problem at all. Love the food but the staff is weird“

“This lunch price is reasonable. These days, Korean food prices are way overpriced.

I went there for lunch recently for the first time in years, and the prices were the same as 7–8 years ago. The free side dishes were also delicious.

These days, dining out is so expensive that it's hard to choose a restaurant, but I think the owner made a very wise decision. When you live generously and share with others, you'll be blessed and make plenty of money.

They’ve brought back the original flavors, and the service was great too. I’ll always be happy to open my wallet for food like this. Try having a bowl of soondae soup with a shot of soju, like you see on Korean TV — it’s the true taste of Korea.

Pork soup not familiar to foreigners
Koreans often eat it and often eat it as a snack with alcohol.A clean and relatively friendly restaurant. Kimchi and Kkakdugi are delicious
It is a food very closely related to Korean culture.“

“Amazing Lotteria taste! Best burgers in Korea have finally come to Fullerton and are the best burgers here too! I got the bibim burger combo with onion fries and the bulgogi burger combo with cheese fries and also bingsoo cups! Everything was hot, fresh and delicious! Juicy bulgogi patties, so yummy and reminded me of my days in South Korea! I ate well, thank you!“

“delicious korean pub food! with natural wine by the glass. soju cocktails. highly recommend the pork belly.

don’t let the interior fool you. parking can be tough with the kbbq spot next door but there’s residential parking nearby.“

“Chicken was really good and crispy. We’ll be back. Pickled veggies on sandwich really good“

“While this place is famous for its soft tofu stew (sundubu), their octopus dolsotbap (stone pot rice) is also amazing.

Since each portion of rice is cooked individually in its own stone pot, the rice itself tastes incredible.
After scooping the rice out, you pour water over the scorched rice at the bottom; by the time you finish your main meal, you get to enjoy a warm rice tea (sungnyung) for dessert.
​Drinking the sungnyung really soothes and settles your stomach. The side dishes are also super fresh and they keep refilling them,
so you can enjoy delicious sides
throughout your entire meal.“

“Owner makes all the food without msg or artificial preservatives. Makes sense why you dont get sleepy after eating the food here unlike other restaurants. Healthy, delicious, and simply filling. Recommend the yaki upon, but instead of with beef, ask for that with bacon. Never misses“

“I really liked the putting course. I was fun and challenging.“

“Excellent restaurant ,meats seasoned to authentic Korean flavor and great service ask for Megan and she will make you feel welcome and appreciated. And if you’re new to the experience she will show you the experience of cooking on your own table…very good food,cheers“
