“Very much a bustling, neighborhood eatery. The chicken is unique in that it is has more of a crust & the flavor has a slight kick. Very tasty! I got a couple pieces that were charred, which I enjoyed but I realize is not for everyone. The chicken was still juicy on the inside. Potato salad & beans were also good. The greens, however, were very bland which could be doctored up at home.My only complaint was how soggy the chicken got the next day. I’m not sure if it was just the batch I had but I was very disappointed with the experience the following day. So I recommend eating it fresh & they are sure to serve it piping hot!Oh, the pecan pie was delicious too!PS. It is quite expensive but if you’re in the mood for good chicken it is worth the splurge.“

“Went at 5:30-6:30 and there was no one in the restaurant. So as I sat down and ordered the shaken beef with fries not sure what to expect. However when the food came I was quite surprised with the quality, with the beef chunks being perfectly seasoned and tender as can be and the fries being crispy on the outside with a soft and warm interior. I went with family and ordered 5 other dishes, all of which also surpassed all expectations and left us satisfied and collectively agreeing this place is much too underrated for the quality and value of the food.“

“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!“

“Decent food and good vibes!The menu is quite unique, but is filled with delicious options. If you’re not accustomed to the menu items, this might not be the place for you. I’ve never even heard of most of the items, but wanted to try everything. The prices are probably a bit higher than expected, but they definitely reflect the portions given. I waited for about 10-15 minutes, but didn’t mind considering how good my sandwich was.* Kroft Fried Chicken Sandwich: 9/10 - really tasty and decent sized portionThe parking lot gets busy quite easily so you might have to park on the street. The staff was really friendly and the restaurant has an urban atmosphere. We’ll definitely be stopping by to try all of the other delicious options!Highly recommend giving them a try!Parking: There’s a designated parking lot, but half of it is reserved for valet. The other half is free, but there are really limited spaces so will definitely get busy. There is also street parking available, however.“

“Randomly stumbled across this Korean restaurant when searching Korean food in Irvine. To my surprise the food and service are really good. It is not loud and a good place to eat with friends and family.We ordered the cold noodle, it is well balanced, with egg and beef slices. The noodle is chewy and I like the texture of it. It also comes with banchan such as fish cake, cabbage, kimchi, and more. We also try the ox tail soup, it is not salty but we have option to add salt into it to make it more salty. But it has huge bone flavor to it which I really like. Parking maybe a little difficult during lunch hours since the parking spots in front of the restaurant is limited, but there's more parking at the back.Server is friendly, although place is small, but it seems like a hearty place to eat. Price is affordable, will come back again!Parking: Sometimes parking in front is limited but there’s back parking“

I don't often come back to re-try restaurants but this is one I will become a regular at. Highly recommend the pork meatball banh mi Chao and filet mignon rice. No line at all so take the advantage of trying this place before it gets more poppin. They also have a seafood place that is "kickin crab" style, which I will have to come back for. I will say they are a bit short staffed but they're very nice!! Pls be patient with the service and the food will be so worth your time and money.“

“Apparently this joint is known for being busy & having to wait. We went on a Saturday evening (!!!) & just our luck we didn't have to be put on any wait list, we were able to walk right in & be seated right away. The seating inside is so limited so I was worried about the wait. It was our lucky day ! I ordered the chicken cutlet regular size level 2 spice, hubby got the same but large & with an omelette. We also got an order of karaage for an appetizer. The food came out fairly fast. The karaage was so good ! I have had my fair share of karaage & this had its own unique taste. It was juicy & the dip (I think it was kewpie) paired so well with the chicken. We gobbled up all the bites. At first glance the regular size chicken cutlet seems small & mediocre. I actually couldn't finish my plate as I got full & hubby had to finish for me. The medium grain rice was sticky but cooked to perfection. The breading on the chicken had a crunch & the chicken was tender & juicy !!! I could of ate a spicier curry but really was being cheap & didn't want to pay extra to up the heat level. I'd say if you're into spicy food level 2 is still very mild. Even though it was mild, i really enjoyed it !!! Very small complaints, why the shortage on napkins ?? I have a 10 month old & things get messy at the table. We only had one napkin & my hubby asked for more. We were given only 3 more. Plus curry is messy so don't be stingy on napkins ! Also wassup with the canned drinks ?? Fountain drinks always taste better than canned. Anyways we really enjoyed our meal & we would be back !“
