Such a great new Korean spot inside 99 Ranch Market in Irvine! The King Katsu Don was easily my favorite—the sauce was seriously on point and didn’t make the katsu overly soggy, which I really appreciated. And the portion was HUGE… the katsu was basically as big as my torso! 😂 The cheese katsu was also really well done with a great cheese pull. I also tried the spicy Bim Bim Udon, which was surprisingly refreshing and had the perfect chewy texture. I could honestly order...read full review
Somethin' is hidden inside Irvine's newest food hall, it's inside the 99 Ranch on Culver. It's the biggest kiosk there, you can't miss it.
The thing about other Korean comfort food restaurants is the serving sizes are always MASSIVE and I can never finish it all, but at Somethin', all their portions are individual sizes which is perfect, and you can combo katsu with tteokbokki (rice cakes), or super bouncy chewy Korean cold noodles.

I was near Irvine and craving tonkatsu, so I found Somethin’ inside the 99 Ranch Market food court after reading reviews on Google. The prices were so affordable that I wasn’t sure what to expect—but wow! 🤩
I ordered the King Tonkatsu and couldn’t believe how huge it was. I had to take a photo! 📸 It was crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Amazing quality and such great value! 😋
The portion was so generous that I couldn’t finish...read full review

Somethin' is a Korean spot inside the 99 Ranch Market food hall in Irvine. It is the biggest kiosk there and is easy to find. The restaurant offers Korean comfort food in individual portion sizes, so guests can finish their meal and can combo katsu with tteokbokki (rice cakes) or super bouncy chewy Korean cold noodles. The King Katsu Don is a favorite, with sauce that is on point and does not make the katsu overly soggy. The portion is HUGE, and the katsu is basically as big as a torso. The cheese katsu is well done with a great cheese pull. The spicy Bim Bim Udon is surprisingly refreshing with the perfect chewy texture. The King Tonkatsu and King Donkatsu are also huge, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, and one is easily the biggest and best pork cutlet. The Soy Chicken Rice Bowl and bulgogi rice bowl are delicious, with the bulgogi super juicy and tender. The Double Cream Matcha is perfectly balanced, and the Dalgona Latte is amazing with house made dalgona that is perfectly crunchy. The Apple Americano and sparkling sodas are also available, and the galaxy one, which was grapefruit, is a favorite with a really pretty ombre color. Customer service is nice, prices are very reasonable, and the turnover for the seats is pretty quick. The casual cafeteria-style seating is enjoyable, and the diverse menu has something for everyone, from adults to little kids. UCI students get 10% off.
