“It was a little place off a side street we happened onto. It looked interesting so we gave it a shot. Guy there was not overly friendly. It is a take out place but there are a few chairs inside to wait for your order. Simple menu only dogs cook a few different ways. Not many drinks to chose from. We ordered 3 different ones can't remember what they were but they were pretty good, I would go back.Vegetarian options: Definitely not vegetarian.“
“We love Yamas! The chicken with vegetables is light and refreshing if you don't want a heavy meal. Portions are generous so I always have lunch for the next day. Last week I tried a new menu item (Hot Cheeto Crunch Roll) and it knocked my socks off! Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!“
“Ordered the #5, #4 and #2 with sauce on the side. The portions were large while the prices were definitely on the cheaper side and the food was great! The dumplings were amazing, we went back and ordered another side extra. Service was fast and friendly. Would recommend!“
“I'm so glad I looked up this location. It's one of the highest rated FB within my area. Most average a 2.5 to 3 stars. I was not only glad to find one with a better rating but this place was very clean and their customer service was great and the food was delish! My new go to Flame Broiler!“
“Their Naengmyeon stands out with an outstanding taste in both LA and OC. The service is commendable, earning them stars. The servers are knowledgeable, anticipating our needs before we even call them. While it may be pricey, the experience is undoubtedly worth it.“
“This restaurant was fantastic. I ordered the jjampong and it was genuinely one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The noodles were excellent and the broth was incredibly flavorful. The wait staff was very kind and helped by giving great recommendations. The Golbi beef was also very good.“
“1. The bibimbap and stew were comforting and filling! 2. The spot has casual-cozy vibes! 3. There are only indoor tables! 4. The staff were friendly and attentive! 5. Parking lot is small, but street parking is available as well! Note: There are separate restrooms for men and women! Photo: Oyster Bibimbap, Gochujang Stew, Side Dishes“
“Came on a weekday night for dinner, walked in with no wait. There were two to three other parties in the restaurant through the night. We had the bossam and short rib soup and both were spectacular. I've had bossam before and wasn't impressed but having it here, I'd definitely recommend. The soup was perfect as well: 3 ribs in there, large chunks or radish, and the clear noodles in a perfectly seasoned broth. The bossam came with two sides of purple rice and fermented soybean soup as well. The purple rice is the most unique one I've had in all my years of eating a K-town as it comes with a plethora and variety of beans in it. A deviation from the norm but not bad at all. We were just a party of two so there was loads of leftovers available for the meal the next day. The portions here are typically Korean so meant for a party of four or more I'd say. I had originally bookmarked this place to try the raw marinated crab and am looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu... although that bossam will be so tempting to get again.“
“This place is located in the bustling plaza of Bristol Food Court. The service was quite fast, as there was only two people working at the entire restaurant. I went here once before. The first time I ordered black bean noodles, and they were really tasty. Today, I ordered tteokbokki and it was sooooo good. Like maybe I was just hungry at the time, but it was really tasty and the rice cakes were just the right spicy level and chewy. It was so good I forgot to take a photo of it. The overall food court is busy and it might be hard to find a seat during lunch hour. Overall, this place is a really good Korean joint that is rare to find in Santa Ana.“
“Best hot chicken samich I've had in a while. Crispy light breading, thick moist tender breast ?. Hot sauce was just right. Recommend going deluxe and combo price was a reasonable 11$. Complimentary soft serve was cherry on top. Highly recommend if you're in the area.“
“The servers r nice but the guy was meh. However the food is just so amazing it makes up for everything. The Banchan thick 10 day age samgyupsal and vibes are amazing!!! The line is super long so get there at a weird hour highly recommend!! Kimchi jjigae is so good and gogi melts in your mouth ?“
“I love to try new places. I will say the shopping area looks sketchy but the food here is amazing!!! I don't judge a place by where they are located and such!! But I decided to give it a try and man I don't have any complains. The girl who was on the register was sooo nice!! I feel like this place is such an underrated place and a hidden gem. Order 8 pc wings (Korean hot) 9/10 the sauce was on the side and would've like if it was on the wings but the sauce was not as spicy as I wish it was but it has a good sweet taste to it :))) Spicy pork 1000/10 it was soooooo good. I didn't even need teriyaki sauce. I ate it without and it was bomb Service 5/5 no complaints Overall a pretty good price for your buck!! Definitely would recommend“
“My children and I are visiting the area and we're brought to try this dessert spot and it hit the spot! The kids and I (who isn't a really big fan of dessert) enjoyed ourselves. We got the cookies n cream with a Nutella filled fish.“
“Dakgalbi, tteokbokki, and pork cutlet are delicious!I think I will use it often!Add rice and mix the chicken ribs at the end.If you eat it with seaweed powder and cheese,It's really delicious!Pork cutlet meat is soft and seasoned.It's so perfect... I really recommend it.It's better than Beach Yoko...The thickness of the meat is just right.Anyway, give it a try!“
“Great dining experience. The interior is large, and clean. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. Plenty of menu selection varying from typical Chinese menu offerings; veggies, seafood, chicken, beef, etc. Menu is very easy to read. Excellent spot for Chinese/Korean dine-in experience. Definitely recommend!“
“I was yelping for KFC options and found this place by my house and decided to check it out. I placed a an order for 50 wings for a party and decided on soy garlic, kfc and snow cheese. I chose three but I believe they allow you to choose up to 5 flavors. It took about 15 minutes and the order was ready. Soy garlic and KFC are typical flavors that I normally see and have tried and they're pretty good here. I've never tried snow cheese and it didn't disappoint. It has a slightly sweet flavor and was my favorite. Overall tasty wings at good prices. I would definitely come back.“
“So bomb!!! The food is so delicious and you don’t even have to drive to Garden Grove for it. They do get busy though so you might have to wait. I think it’s a great place with good portions and reasonable pricing. I’d love to eat here everyday.“
“As we landed ANA(Santa Ana Airport), first thing we craved was the Korean food. I managed to use Google maps to search for nearby Korean food, but Soondae(Korean Sausage) caught my attention first. It really wasn’t only the review score, but the awareness level of this place from the locals.It’s conveniently located in H Mart (Korean Supermarket), but it’s well known for making its own Soondae and Jokbal. There are more than 3 options for the size offering and it will fit whether you visit as a solo or with big family.Soondae, not only was it fresh, but its Gan(Liver) was also very fresh! (Talk about being moisty instead of the usual ‘dry’ ones you come across)All the side dishes (Lettuce, Jalapeño, Garlics) were on points and the staff were readily available on spot to re-fill at any given time.I highly recommend for those who have love for Jokbal and Soondae, but also those who are seeking for a new Korean food/menu to try out.“
“First time there 2/8/24, a little wait but worth it. Food came out within minutes, I like the idea of pictures of food menu items. Just tell them your preferences and food will be out less than 10 mins. Korean restaurants always have sides side that are refillable. Great flavor and so delicious.“
“I dined in this past Friday and place was good. Mostly, the service and food was on point. I was exceptionally impressed with the service. The server that took care of us was very attentive. She took our order and checked up on us promptly. I accidentally dropped my chopsticks during my meal, and even then, she immediately got me a new pair of chopsticks. I believe that taste is most important for a restaurant, but service must be matched to the qualify of good to have a complete experience. This restaurant offered great food and service. The only thing i'd complain about is the cleanliness of the restaurant. The utensils weren't very clean and had tiny debris on them (probably food particles that weren't washed out) and the overall cleanliness of the restaurant wasn't up to par with food and service.“
“The cashier was so helpful and friendly!! The spicy chicken wasn’t actually spicy but it did have a tasty sauce. I did takeout and my order was ready in 15 minutes (so quick for two half chicken orders ). Loved the service I definitely recommend this place if you’re craving yummy fried chicken.“
“Probably one of the best chicken that I’ve ever had. 100x better than wing stop or bww. Service is great and fast. I ate here 3 days in a row. The honey garlic is beyond finger licking good. Also they give complimentary pickle radish that is mouth watering. Amazing and delicious flavors.“
“For a low price Korean bowl, flame broiler is a good value.The person taking the order is always super nice. They have not messed up on my food once which is amazing. I order here a lot when I'm in a hurry.They also have food specials if you buy several bowls.Vegetarian options: Tofu, vegetables, rice“
“THAT FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! Good price, sweetest owners ever! Gave us a bunch of extra things. My new go to spot!! Also incredible pre-pandemic style prices!!! Sitting there eating that delicious food was so peaceful and made my whole Wednesday HUGE PORTIONS!!!“
“We're from Chicago and was staying at a hotel nearby. We ordered pork bbq and bulgogi, both were excellent choices. It's great to have both available to order from the same store. My only wish is if they could add noodles to their menu like japchae or pancit.“
“Food:Udon - 5/5Sushi - 4/5Shrimp Tempura - 5/5Been going to this place for almost ten years and still is my go to udon place. I usually get a sushi set with it and it's fresh. Service: 5/5Ambiance: Not really extraordinary but it isn't dirty or anything bad either.“
“Inside a small food court. Served by the sweetest staff. Small menu: we liked the dried cheese powder flavor - i think jt has like dried egg yolk flavor too. We also like the spicy soy garlic. I recommend adding double mochi orders they are soft fried pillows!!“
“I visited during lunch time and had spicy pork combo (about $20), and the portion is great! My husband ordered a cold noodle(물냉면) & dumpling combo (about $25). Spicy pork was a bit salty for me, but i assume most people would like it (as i prefer to make my own food less salty and greasy at home.) Overall it was great. Love their dumpling, and cold noodles. I wish they offer mode side dishes though. They only have two kinds of kimchi (배추김치 & 깍두기) and steamed cabbage.“
“I went there because I was craving Korean food, and it was delicious!The soft tofu I tried was a bit mild, but the LA galbi was really tasty!Unless you're really hungry, it would be perfect for two people to order the ribs + soft tofu set and add 1 serving of rice.Galbi is actually more delicious than Korean :)“
“Went during the night with cousins, the atmosphere is too dark and moody for us, could use some more lighting.We ordered half and half, half soy and half original. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. We also had the rosé tteokbokki. Both were fantastic and super tasty. There were complimentary water, cabbage, and radish.Will come back, honestly on par with bbq chicken which is down the street from this joint. Higher recommend this place.“
“I love the rice cakes from here and it is always the standard! Usually, the service is always amazing and sweet like visiting your Grandma's house. Unfortunately today, had a negative experience with customer service on how they were snappy and a bit rude on top of not serving the people in the order they came in, but more the loudest.“
“Ok I now LOVE Korean hog dogs!!! I love regular corn dogs but these really put a new delicious spin on them. The batter is lighter and more fluffy, the outer layer is crispy, the unique "topping" on the outer portion really changes up the taste and texture. It's a textural bliss. Add some sauces and you're golden. Price is reasonable, in my opinion, for a relatively giant corn dog.“
“I came here with my uncle to try the Korean hotdogs and we both loved them. The hotdogs were juicy and for me, the sweet potato with sugar went so well with the savory sausage. I really enjoyed the cheesy mustard (reminded me of chik fila sauce) on the dog as well. The sik-hye slush was also delicious and had a unique and delicious tea flavor that washed down the dogs perfectly. If you're looking to try a good Korean hotdog, this is your spot!!! We will be back“
“This is my go-to AYCE KBBQ spot for several reasons. It’s generally affordable for the high quality of meat. It’s not ~super high quality but I would say it’s on the higher end for an AYCE spot. They also have beef tongue, galbi, and intestines which I consider more premium items. It gets pretty busy so I would suggest putting your party’s name on the Yelp list 1-2 hours ahead of time.My only complaint is the terrible customer service. It feels pretty understaffed which causes the employees to be spread to thin / overworked. Our server takes forever to check back in with us which is not ideal for a KBBQ place where you need to order stuff frequently. Sometimes there are employees who I feel like do the bare minimum and seem like they don’t enjoy working there (don’t smile and are not very friendly).Again, this is a great kbbq spot in general but it can get very busy and service can use improvement.“
“I was craving some comfort food & found this spot on yelp. I called and the person told me they moved to a new location and she texted me the address. Not sure if she's the owner but she was so tremendously sweet! We got the fishcake and clasic gimbap, kimchi fried rice and veggie fried dumplings and two lemonades. Everything was so delicious and filling and definitely worth the 30 min drive to get there“
“OUR NEW FAVORITE KBBThey start right... rhe Banchan is absolutely delicious... and they keep it coming nonstop. They know how to manage a person's appetite by filling everyone up with delicious banchan (side dishes) so the demand on the meats (the expensive stuff) is less.The staff were very attentive and always was polite. David was primarily our server but everyone checks on everyone.The restaurant was very clean and tables are well spaced.Definitely recommend this restaurant“
“Craving for hotpot so found a joint 45 mins away from the Desert Hills outlet enroute to the hotel. Man, so good, especially when having hotpot during cold weather. But think we ordered too much meat. This was fatty belly and ribeye cut from premium black angus beef. This makes for another perfect day!“

“We are not Korean, so this review does not comment on the authenticity but the favor only. The food was SO GOOD!We got the pork bone casserole (large) and the pork hock.The bone casserole (large) came with 10-12 pieces of giant bones, and each had a good amount of meat. For a girl, 2 bones will fill one up. For a guy, maybe 3-4 with a bit of rice will definitely fill one up. The three of us finished maybe 2/3 of the pot.The pork hock is my favorite! I enjoyed the bean sauce and the slices of meat and tendons. This dish is definitely for more adventurous eats. Still recommended for anyone to try.A feast for three came to be around $130. Not the cheapest but the food was very delicious!“
“The food here is actually really good! I’ve been twice already and was pleasantly surprised the first time. Taste exactly how I would expect Korean bbq to taste :) I love the marinated beef and will try the ramen next. I just wish it was possible to get extra kimchi since I love it so “
“They don't speak English well, but... the lady got me fresh (made that day) batch from the back and not from the front fridges. It was so fresh, that I had to have it sit non-refrigerated for a couple of extra days at home. Nappa cabbage used was the good stuff. Overall taste was better than what you get in restaurants or markets. but not as bomb as Seoul Do Soon Yi Kimchi Company down the same street. Unless you plan on eating the whole big jar soon, I recommend you get the cabbage uncut to keep them fresh and crispy longer.“
“Newish spot next to HMart that sells Korean fried chicken. Compared to some other Korean Fried Chicken places I've tried, the wings here definitely stands out!The meat is tender and comes right off the bone cleanly and you can see the juices flowing out when you bite in. It's kind of amazing how juicy it is.It is a bit of a wait, but I was given some coleslaw and pickled radish when I dined in. Each table has wet wipes to clean your hands after and a metal bin to discard bones.“
“Ordered the jjajang combo with fried pork w/ sweet sour sauce. The noodles itself is enough to feed 2 people. The combo doesn't have the spicy variant so the lady was nice enough to provide red pepper flakes for us to add in. The fried pork isn't as crispy as I had wanted it to be but the sauce that comes with it is enough to satisfy. Prices here aren't that expensive compared to other places and there was a good amount of older folks sitting down enjoying the food as we waited for our food“
“Everything about this place is great! Excellent healthy food prepared and served by friendly staff. The place is clean and the overall experience is absolutely amazing! Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant.I highly recommend it! The rib plate is a gastronomic delight. It's my all-time favorite.“
“The lunch special here was really good. The meat was good, the small sides were good, and the drinks were good. However, one of our server guy was kind of slow. But the other server guy was much faster. So if you come here and one of the server guy is kind of slow, you know who I’m taking about.“
“For my first visit, it was a very pleasant experience. I was seated promptly, and ordering plates was quite easy, despite never having ordered through a web browser before. One staff member did not speak English and one guy was mistaken about the parking validation of 2 hours, its only free for the first hour.They have corn tortillas, but were sold out when I was there; not that I would have ordered any in a KBBQ, but it's a nice accomodation in my opinion.Beers were nice and cold and did not have foam. The meat was also fresh and I sampled some of the seafood selections as well, those were good. The hot sauce was also excellent.“
“First time - I called in my order. A kind gentleman answered the phone. I informed him that I've never been there and he informed me what's in the CA plate.. I ended up ordering a CA plate, salmon & grilled shrimp veggies, side salmon and egg rolls. He informed me that it would be ready in 10 minutes.When I got there my order was ready. A small , clean local place with about 4 tables. Took a few pictures of the walls with their appetizing food.Healthy, delicious food and awesome customer service.Supporting local businesses.Will be back to try other items on their menu.“
