BBQ chicken with cheese was phenomenal

Love the fried chicken here~ Chill with friends after work and drink Soju

I believe this is a restaurant run by Koreans. The young waitstaff all speak Korean, and the food is authentic. The key point is that the shops in this mall usually close at 9:00 PM, but they dare to stay open until 1:00 AM, and they are often fully booked. I greatly admire their wisdom and courage, highly recommend it.

this is the perfect late-night spot to grab some good food with friends. open every day until midnight (1am on weekends)!!

they have all your classic korean gastropub eats. i've been to their RH location and for the most part i think the menu is the same, minus a few different items?

portions here are HUGE, definitely meant to share with the entire party.

chicken feet - this was actually my first time trying chicken feet and i'm SO glad i tried it here bc the flavor was amazing! they cooked it soo well - the texture was incredibly gelatinous and super soft to bite into.

chicken mozzarella cheese fondue - i've gotten the pork before. both are really good. must get item!!

egg soup (geran tang) - not to be mixed up with steamed egg. this is similar but just more "soupy"

kimchi fried rice - surrounded with mozzarella cheese. would have been the cherry on top with a fried egg!

overall, all good eats!!

service/ambiance: there’s a call button if you ever need anything. more of a gastropub vibe - think dim lights + loud music.

plenty of parking spaces in the plaza.

I came here on a Friday around 5pm and got seted right away. We order Combo D which came with gyeran-mari, gochu-maneul chicken, and kimchi jeongol for $67. In addition to that, we also order the spicy chicken feet and mango makgeolli.

Everything was amazing and our favorite were the gyeran-mari and gochu-maneul chicken. The gyeran-mari was so soft with melted cheese on top and the fried chicken sauce was delicious (not really spicy, it's more of a soy sauce flavor).
The spicy chicken feet was my favorite when I got it the first time I came to Hanshin Pocha.

However, this time it was way too spicy even for my friends who can eat spicy foods, seems like they're inconsistent with the sauce.

The price is a bit on the pricier side for some menu items.

A late night spot that opens late in Irvine? Say what, is Hanshin Pocha going to be the one that wakes up Irvine from its sleepy slumber at night? They're currently the only soju bar in Irvine and they open until midnight or 1am. I'm loving the vibe with all the neon light signage inside! Service was pretty attentive as well. I've been to their other locations in Rowland Heights and K-town before so I knew Irvine peeps were in for a real treat. They have such a large selection of alcohol, particularly soju, and you can't go wrong with any of their dishes which pairs perfectly with the alchy. They also got some happy hour deals going on so I'd check their socials for more details.

-Cross Streets are Sand Canyon Ave. and Quail Hill Pkwy
-Located in the same plaza as Thai Bamboo Bistor, O Fine Japanese Cuisine, Tea Maru and more!
-Parking was easy because it's located in a large plaza with plenty of parking spots. On a Monday evening around 7pm, we were able to snag a parking spot fairly close to the establishment.

Chicken Mozzarella Cheese ($29.95) - If you love a good cheese pull, you definitely have to get this! They also offer a pork version of this if you prefer that as your choice of protein. It comes in a sizzling hot platter so be careful! There's a decent amount of protein per order and it's not too spicy! This is definitely one of their well known dishes.

Kimchi Fried Rice ($20.95) - I love that it's also surrounded by cheese so here's another chance to get your cheese pull game on. With the melted cheese, it elevates the kimchi fried rice, but I would say that if they didn't have the melted cheese, it would be an okay dish to order.

Kimchi Jeongol ($31.95) - Nothing beats a flavorful spicy soup after rounds of drinking! It comes with kimchi, pork and sausage and if you love a well fermented kimchi, you can definitely taste that flavor in the soup. Great for sharing!

Stir Fried Udon with Brisket ($28.45) - Comes with tender beef brisket! I like that the udon noodles were cooked perfectly chewy. The flavor was overbearingly strong, but I think that was okay with me since I had ordered the chicken mozzarella cheese and kimchi jeongol which were super strong with flavor.

Food is very overpriced considering its portion. If you’re looking for a good size portion with a decent price, this place is not recommended to you.

I ordered Pork Mozzarella, it looks spicy but was enough and love the dipping cheese fondue. The price of food is decent comparing other places, opens until late night.

Parking: Free Parking in the mall area.

The food is okay, but Very pricey considering the portion.

The service is terrible. I stood in front of the reception desk for quite a while. A girl server passed by me three times, made eye contact, but never offered assistance. Eventually, a guy server came to take my order. When I asked for a recommendation between two options, he flatly replied, "It's up to you," as if he didn't want to serve me.

I usually tip for to-go orders, but I was so dissatisfied with their service that I didn't this time.
