“This is the friendliest, most service-oriented fast food place in the city. The workers are so much kinder than at any other chain/franchise, and better at creating a welcoming and appetizing environment than any other Flame Broiler location. Sometimes I don't even have to recite my very unique order with special requests. They have never messed up my food and they have never been anything less than pleasant. Special thanks to Steven and Patricia. Flame Broiler as a brand is not going to knock your socks off with exciting flavors; I doubt that's why anyone eats here. But their food, if you tailor it correctly, is nutrient dense and delicious.”

“Food was ok. I gave 4 stars cause I believe I make better Bulgogi. Ttaekbokki was nice 👌 but only too watery for me. Portion was smaller than expected and the bulgogi is dry and not that savory. But the service is topnotch. Very cheerful and proactive staffs.”

“Haven't been here in awhile and my nephew wanted this for dinner and we stopped by. He love the galbi which you can order as a plate/bowl for extra or as a side. We ended up ordering a double side which is very reasonably priced and decent amount of food. I also got the plate with galbi and 4 sides which I also enjoyed. Overall a decent amount of food for the price and the quality is good.”

9 So Gong Dong Tofu & BBQ

4.5 Superb 78 Reviews

8685 Irvine Center Dr, Irvine · 5.87 miles

“Heard there was a new soondubu spot in OC, so I swung by over the weekend- turns out it was their soft opening. I was surprised to learn they're already a well-known brand with a strong rep in the midwest & east coast, and that their OC debut was actually highly anticipated. They started us off with the complimentary banchan which are always my favorite. The standout for me was the fishcake which perfectly seasoned and surprisingly fresh and I also really enjoyed the corn dish. For food, my friends and I each got a soondubu and shared the seafood pancake, galbi ribs, and a pork katsu bento. Every single dish was mouthwateringly good. I can't handle a lot of spice, but their mild soondubu was a true mild with just the right amount of seasoning with a gentle kick. The portions here are also more generous than BCD's...the bowl was loaded with tofu and that rich, flavorful broth. Nothing was watered down and every bite was just tasty, umami bliss. I also really loved the galbi ribs, they tasted out of this world and not overly greasy. The portion size was generous too! One thing that stood out to me was how clean and inviting this space was, you can really feel the care and thought that is put into every corner. Atter a meal at BCD, I usually want to head out right away as it's more of a get in & get out experience. But dining at SGD was the opposite! It felt warm, modern, and homey. The vibe makes you want to linger (and also because the service is excellent). For the quality and portions, everything here feels like such a steal. i'm so glad this spot opened close to home, l'll definitely be back!”

“I Can Barbecue Korean Grill is a popular all-you-can-eat (AYCE) Korean barbecue restaurant chain known for combining traditional tabletop grilling with modern technology and inclusive menu options. Interactive Dining: Diners cook a wide selection of meats, chicken, seafood, and vegetables on built in gas fire grills right at their tables. Halal & Inclusive Options: The restaurant stands out for offering certified halal meat choices alongside classic K-BBQ favorites, allowing mixed groups to share the same culinary experience. Robotic Servers: I Can Barbecue Korean Grill uses playful robotic food runners to help deliver trays and keep service moving efficiently between rounds.

Locations: The concept operates multiple SoCal locations in areas such as Santa Ana, Tustin, Irvine, Fountain Valley, and San Diego. As for this Canadian traveller from Vancouver BC, what’s a west coast party without K-BBQ?! It’s definitely delicious here. The ingredients are fresh. The service is good. Prices are higher for the Canadian tourists because of the conversion rate. But the hospitality is cozy here. The experience is good. Highly recommended 👌.”

“My sister and I were craving kimbap and this place delivered. Because of the prices we thought the serving sizes would be small but it was very generous and filling. I really liked the beef vegetable and the spicy tuna which definitely had a kick but was tasty. But we also tried the spicy fish cake which we enjoyed more than expected (was not fishy at all which is what we were worried about but also wasn’t really spicy). Overall loved it all and the person who helped us was very kind and quick with the order. It is in the grocery store and we ate at home but I think there is some places to sit outside. Not much of an atmosphere for this place but the coffee shop next door seemed great too.”

I wasn't able to eat for a couple hours after I picked it up, but it was still so delicious. I got a combo with 8pc nigiri and a spicy tuna roll. It was awesome. Highly recommend.

I really appreciate the staff being so nice to us and having everything ready for us! 10/10 for the service. As for the food, side dishes are amazing and the kimchi was so fresh mmm! I loved the meat selections that they had to offer and the bangchan side dishes. I appreciate the atmosphere and the vibe too, I feel like more common kbbq spots have minimal lighting in the restaurant but this one was perfect!! I could see all my friends! Left with a full stomach! will definitely come here again!”

“Love this place! Food is always great. Made fresh. Staff are always nice and give great service. My favorite thing to get here is the TUNA MELT! I am not a fan of tuna at all until I had theirs. There are times where they will run out because they make a certain amount of tuna salad for the day. Not complaining about that, I just know that it was made fresh that day, so I definitely love it! So order ahead by calling in. If you're not a fan of it at all, give any of their sandwiches a try and ask them to add that chipotle sauce, changes everything, you will thank you me later. If you are in the Irvine area, give them a try! Kid-friendliness: They have baby seat chairs for dine-in and kid friendly items as well. Parking: Since this is a small cafe surrounded by business establishments it will be difficult to park but it is fortunate that you do not have to pay for any parking. Usually people come to just pick up and go so parking isn't usually a problem.”

“If you're in the area and crave Korean food, this place is good enough. It's not amazing but it's also not bad either. A bit pricier compared to other options in my area so I'd personally wouldn't go out of my way to come back unless I happened to be in the area. Ordered extra spicy tofu soup and it was more of a 2.5 ish. Galbitang had some good flavoring. We tried out their new pig trotter salad and it was ok. The light mustardy sauce that came with it was not our preference and the meat was sliced super thin. Based on the amount that was included in the salad, it was maybe 85% veggies with no other seasoning mixed in. The included banchan was sufficient. Kimchi has good flavoring, so did the cucumber and fishcakes”

“This restaurant is located inside H Mart Northpark, and this was actually my second time visiting. They serve really good quality food here. On my first visit, I had the spicy octopus stone pot bibimbap, and this time I went with the pork cutlet set. Both dishes were delicious and definitely exceeded my expectations. One thing I love is that the prices are noticeably more affordable ($12 - $22) compared to other places in the H Mart food court, yet the food quality is just as good — if not better. Since it’s close to my workplace, it’s super convenient for lunch. Plus, I appreciate that there’s less pressure around tipping, which makes the dining experience feel more relaxed. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quick and satisfying lunch. I’m planning to come back regularly and keep updating my review as I try more dishes!”

They also have someone grilling the meat tableside, which made everything super easy. We didn’t have to worry about overcooking anything. The banchan was generous, and the corn salad and bibimbap were probably my favorites. The steamed egg and soup at the end were a nice touch too. The location in Woodbury is convenient, and parking was easy. It’s on the pricier side, but the meat quality was definitely there. We left very full and happy. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when I’m craving Korean BBQ in Irvine.”

This restaurant didn’t look busy at prime dinner time so I was a little reluctant but I only had 1 hour to eat before my next stop. Service was quick and food came out fast. Soft soon tofu soup included everything just like BCD but more variety of banchan. They were very generous with refilling the side dishes too. As I was eating, I noticed they had nonstop takeout orders getting picked up. I got the bulgogi/soon tofu combo. The bulgogi was good and tasted authentic but I think the only miss was the soon tofu soup lacked a bit of umami flavor.”
