This place is amazing! We ordered the kalbi with tofu stew and ox bone stew. Also an order of the cold noodles. It was all so tasty! Their ban chan is all so tasty and fresh! Love that they give you free unlimited broth. Also the customer service was fantastic, which to be honest is a rarity now and days. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

Second (of 3) location of this restaurant with a menu that should satisfy most cravings for Korean or Korean-style Chinese food. The restaurant offers a complimentary daily soup/broth appetizer in an insulated bottle. The broth today was a beef broth (ģ”ģ) that was savory, comforting and delicious! We ordered the Rabbokki (ddukbokki with ramen noodles), fried rice and spicy chicken wings. Everything we had was so good! The banchan was varied and plentiful and the kimchi they serve is a fresh dish (geotjori) that is made daily, so was mildly spicy and slightly sweet without the tartness of fermentation. The cucumbers were crunchy and fresh. They sliced the rice cakes when they bring the dish to your table (this was a first for me and will get video next time). The wings were great. Very mild for being called spicy. Maybe a 4/10 on the spicy scale. The fried rice was full of umami and plump shrimp. The service was attentive and friendly and there were ample tables when we went (5pm on a Friday). They recently opened a location at the new Hmart in Westminster, so Iām looking forward to trying that one too (although the menu is slightly different to avoid overlapping items with other vendors in the food court.) This place will definitely take a spot in my regular K-food rotation! *They have some interesting/atypical spellings of their dishes.

Food is absolutely delicious, highly recommend. If you don't mind waiting a few minutes during peak it's not bad. Otherwise just come right after lunch hours but the food is definitely worth it.
I am visiting the area from the east coast and we came here after our friend recommended it. The food was authentic and delicious and the service was quick!!! The food was so good I ordered extra meals to take to my hotel!!

Amazing! Loved the Galbi ribs, fried rice, seafood pancake, and bulgogi. You canāt go wrong with anything.

The food was really delicious, but the tone of the staff was very aggressive.
The food is expensive, and the portions are small. The service is poor, and the staff members are very unfriendly.

Japchae was delicious. I especially loved the mushrooms in it. The bulgogi was amazing. I highly recommend this place if you have any clue what real Korean food tastes like you will appreciate this place.

i hope you see this. this was the worst place iāve ever gone out to eat in irvine so far. foodās overpriced, nothingās cooked professionally, mysterious liquids everywhere on the floor made every step painful from stickiness, food tastes cheap & bad. iām just writing this so no other victims decide to dine in here. i ordered mine (paid $27 including tax), barely had a bite on it, then left. the thing is i was HUNGRY. itās just how bad the food wasā¦ i couldnāt continue eating. i hope no one experiences this tragedy.
