“First time - I called in my order. A kind gentleman answered the phone. I informed him that I've never been there and he informed me what's in the CA plate.. I ended up ordering a CA plate, salmon & grilled shrimp veggies, side salmon and egg rolls. He informed me that it would be ready in 10 minutes.When I got there my order was ready. A small , clean local place with about 4 tables. Took a few pictures of the walls with their appetizing food.Healthy, delicious food and awesome customer service.Supporting local businesses.Will be back to try other items on their menu.“

“Eaten at Hanki twice now. Very clean. Food is fantastic. Everything I've had is great, but today tried the soft tofu soup w/ egg and beef. Comes boiling, with rice. I had medium spicy and it was perfect, not really spicy at all. Love this place. On Edinger, at Bella Terra.“

“Good food, friendly service, and cozy outdoor dining“

“Part of a franchise, Korean corn dogs are always super good. This time we tried the rice puff coated corn dog half mozzarella half dog and also their kimchi seasoned fries. Service was really quick it took less than 5 minutes for us to get our food and it was fresh. There isn't much seating for this location so we decided to bring it back to our hotel to enjoy. Service was super friendly and you can also order ahead if you prefer not to wait. The food was satisfying. Really good for sharing, I do suggest adding the optional sugar. Sounds weird at first but after having it a few times, I highly suggest it. The kimchi seasoning fries was also something new and really good with ketchup.“

“I'm so glad I looked up this location. It's one of the highest rated FB within my area. Most average a 2.5 to 3 stars. I was not only glad to find one with a better rating but this place was very clean and their customer service was great and the food was delish! My new go to Flame Broiler!“

“Still the best thing in Garden Grove for NangMyeon House and set menu Korean BBQ. There're no smell or greasy feelings in this clean restaurant with over twenty years of consistent service and dining experience. I strongly recommend this place for absolutely gorgeous Hwe NangMyeon and Mool NangMyeon. My Mukbang friends and family, Do Not Hesitate! Go forth and enjoy!“

“Awesome“

“1. The bibimbap and stew were comforting and filling! 2. The spot has casual-cozy vibes! 3. There are only indoor tables! 4. The staff were friendly and attentive! 5. Parking lot is small, but street parking is available as well! Note: There are separate restrooms for men and women! Photo: Oyster Bibimbap, Gochujang Stew, Side Dishes“

“Got here by accident, looking for the pizza spot that used to be there. This spot doesn't dissapoints! Got our food to go. Drinks: Taro with boba & and matcha with boba. Spicy shimp noodles: Full of flavor and very generous portions. Beef Ramen: Big portions and broth were flavorful, not bland like some other places. Pork gyozas were delicious and came with great dipping sauce.“

“Last stop for me in cali, and this was the spot we picked for our Korean cravings. It didn’t disappoint! Truly reminds me of my mom’s cooking from the banchan to the bbibbimbbap! Both my parents and brother in law shared the same sentiment. Definitely feels like an old school Korean restaurant and loved the hot barley water!Vegetarian options: Lots of Korean dishes that are vegetarian friendlyParking: Regular store plaza lot“

“OMG WTF!! First time and what an amazing food-gasm. I met up with my daughter for lunch and she ordered the honey garlic and extra sweet/spicy. I've been to many KFC (Korean Fried Chix)places and this would be in my top three. The crunch, OMG the crunch!! Then the flavor. You need to call 911 because my taste buds have just been assaulted. So if your in the area and in the mood for some 'OH SO Amazing KFC', this is a must for your crav'n.“

“Great dining experience. The interior is large, and clean. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. Plenty of menu selection varying from typical Chinese menu offerings; veggies, seafood, chicken, beef, etc. Menu is very easy to read. Excellent spot for Chinese/Korean dine-in experience. Definitely recommend!“

“I love to try new places. I will say the shopping area looks sketchy but the food here is amazing!!! I don't judge a place by where they are located and such!! But I decided to give it a try and man I don't have any complains. The girl who was on the register was sooo nice!! I feel like this place is such an underrated place and a hidden gem. Order 8 pc wings (Korean hot) 9/10 the sauce was on the side and would've like if it was on the wings but the sauce was not as spicy as I wish it was but it has a good sweet taste to it :))) Spicy pork 1000/10 it was soooooo good. I didn't even need teriyaki sauce. I ate it without and it was bomb Service 5/5 no complaints Overall a pretty good price for your buck!! Definitely would recommend“

“This place is just amazing. I've come here twice now, and every single time, it has been just as good as the first. The wet-aged pork here is super tender and super flavorful. Combined with the grilled cheese on top and the honey dipping sauce, that creates the perfect bite. We also always order the risotto, which is super delicious. We got the cold noodles, which was really good to eat to help cut through the oils from all the meat. The server will cook everything to perfection for you, so you don't need to worry about burning or undercooking any of the pork. Amazing service and clean restaurant, and probably my favorite place to get pork. You know it's real when you see the TVs playing videos of press from their locations in Korea.“

“I was yelping for KFC options and found this place by my house and decided to check it out. I placed a an order for 50 wings for a party and decided on soy garlic, kfc and snow cheese. I chose three but I believe they allow you to choose up to 5 flavors. It took about 15 minutes and the order was ready. Soy garlic and KFC are typical flavors that I normally see and have tried and they're pretty good here. I've never tried snow cheese and it didn't disappoint. It has a slightly sweet flavor and was my favorite. Overall tasty wings at good prices. I would definitely come back.“

“I wish the sauce was a bit less sweet. The wings are very crispy, thin coat of flour on the outside and the inside is still moist. But you can choose the half and half option Overall: decent portion , (since they add fries to the order), perfect spot for small hangouts (3-4 people). I would come back.“

“So bomb!!! The food is so delicious and you don’t even have to drive to Garden Grove for it. They do get busy though so you might have to wait. I think it’s a great place with good portions and reasonable pricing. I’d love to eat here everyday.“

“Dakgalbi, tteokbokki, and pork cutlet are delicious!I think I will use it often!Add rice and mix the chicken ribs at the end.If you eat it with seaweed powder and cheese,It's really delicious!Pork cutlet meat is soft and seasoned.It's so perfect... I really recommend it.It's better than Beach Yoko...The thickness of the meat is just right.Anyway, give it a try!“

“I love Kokos. I've been here so many times and I enjoy the food every time I'm here! I ordered the Koko Soy Wings (12 pieces) and a small Dukpokki with cheese. The chicken is perfectly crispy and crunchy and always leaves me wanting to eat more. The dukpokki is tasty, but the texture of the rice cakes themselves are too hard and not chewy and soft enough for me. The spice level is good and not too high. The portions were great and just enough for 2 people. Service is good--each table has a call button that will immediately ring up a worker. I like that they open late in case you have late night munchies. I will definitely be back.“

“I don’t know what it is, but I absolutely love their cheddar filled fish“

“Best Korean BBQ in OC! Love the food and the service. Did i mention free Thrifty's ice cream?“

“I dined in this past Friday and place was good. Mostly, the service and food was on point. I was exceptionally impressed with the service. The server that took care of us was very attentive. She took our order and checked up on us promptly. I accidentally dropped my chopsticks during my meal, and even then, she immediately got me a new pair of chopsticks. I believe that taste is most important for a restaurant, but service must be matched to the qualify of good to have a complete experience. This restaurant offered great food and service. The only thing i'd complain about is the cleanliness of the restaurant. The utensils weren't very clean and had tiny debris on them (probably food particles that weren't washed out) and the overall cleanliness of the restaurant wasn't up to par with food and service.“

“Probably one of the best chicken that I’ve ever had. 100x better than wing stop or bww. Service is great and fast. I ate here 3 days in a row. The honey garlic is beyond finger licking good. Also they give complimentary pickle radish that is mouth watering. Amazing and delicious flavors.“

“I had a great experience at Kaju Soft Tofu. The Beef Bulgogi and Galbi Tofu Soup were both delicious, with rich flavors and tender meat. The restaurant was clean and inviting, and the servers were very friendly. Plus, the unlimited sides were a nice bonus. Highly recommended!“

“Great food and excellent service: what more could you want? This past weekend, I gave So Moon Nan Jokbal in Garden Grove a try and I am so glad I did! The Sogogi Kookbap (소고기국밥) was very flavorful and refreshing. The Jokbal (족발) was very tender. The Soondae (순대) was delicious. While it was my first time trying Bossam (보쌈), I am hooked! The ssamjang (쌈장) was extremely flavorful! The service was friendly and thoughtful. They patiently answered all of my questions. This is now among my all-time favorite Korean restaurants and I look forward to returning again and again!“

“For a low price Korean bowl, flame broiler is a good value.The person taking the order is always super nice. They have not messed up on my food once which is amazing. I order here a lot when I'm in a hurry.They also have food specials if you buy several bowls.Vegetarian options: Tofu, vegetables, rice“

“THAT FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! Good price, sweetest owners ever! Gave us a bunch of extra things. My new go to spot!! Also incredible pre-pandemic style prices!!! Sitting there eating that delicious food was so peaceful and made my whole Wednesday HUGE PORTIONS!!!“

“The owner and server were very friendly. I've ordered pork cutlet, seasoned chicken, and soy garlic chicken before, and it was above average. I heard there's another branch next to Burger King near Uclet in Anaheim, but I was busy that afternoon, so I couldn't go there. (There are 3 places there.) If you don't like the rice cake that comes with the chicken, you can ask for it to be removed. The onion rings are great value for money?“

“Food:Udon - 5/5Sushi - 4/5Shrimp Tempura - 5/5Been going to this place for almost ten years and still is my go to udon place. I usually get a sushi set with it and it's fresh. Service: 5/5Ambiance: Not really extraordinary but it isn't dirty or anything bad either.“

“Been wanting to try Mokkoji and I'm so glad I did today for lunch! My party of 3 came on a Sunday afternoon 30 mins after they opened, and we were seated right away. We each got a plate of meat instead of opting for a combo. We got beef toro, flat iron, and brisket and they were all soo good. Out of the three, the beef toro was our favorite. The marinade was delicious and they had two different sauces provided. If you get sukiyaki, which two out of three of us did, you get a raw egg to dip your meat in. It was our first time here, so we weren't sure if we're able to customize the vegetable plate. I would probably opt out of certain veggies next time as I don't want it to be wasted. For broth, we got spicy sukiyaki, sukiyaki, and spicy chicken broth. They were all good, but we overheard the party next to us order the crab one which we will be trying next time. Service was meh, nothing to really rave about. They do offer a number of appetizer that sounded really good, but we got the fried fish balls which was pretty delicious. It was pricey though, for $9, you only get 6 balls. Many reviews mention how they're pretty stingy with certain items like rice and udon which I do agree with. We ended up needing to order more udon. I also thought it was odd that most of their broth, you do need to pay extra for and the original is the only thing included in the meal... Other than that, meal was delicious and I would definitely be back!“

“I love the rice cakes from here and it is always the standard! Usually, the service is always amazing and sweet like visiting your Grandma's house. Unfortunately today, had a negative experience with customer service on how they were snappy and a bit rude on top of not serving the people in the order they came in, but more the loudest.“

“Food is great. Friendly service.“

“It's not bad I like it. If there were more selections I'd give it a 5 star“

“They’ve got a great variety of Asian foods.“

“Skyleur us the best. He is an awesome waiter. He remembered who I was from months ago. He makes the experience that much better! Thanks Skyleur!“

“Best Korean BBQ dining experience! Great quality tasty value for money BBQ wahyu beef & ribeye“

“Excellent service and food“

“Aside from being demanded for food & money in the parking lot. Location isn't bad. Definitely saw a couple elderly folks kinda weary and scared. Should have valet all day. I really enjoyed the clear bone broth soup. Good for collagen and the chicken katsu , wowza the fried breading was fantastic. Cooked to perfection. Ambiance was nice open floor with high ceilings , it felt very luxurious and not too bustling as a lot of Korean restaurants are kinda set up like that. Didn't feel rushed and food was comforting.“

“Love the food . I ordered bibimbap. Even though it was meatless , it was still very tasty . We couldn’t find it at first so we had to call . I recommend brunch more specific when customers call for directions- that it’s behind the spa. I’d come back here again if I lived in Cali but I’m from TX . I’ll come here for sure if I’ll be in the area next time“

“I like the big portion of this restaurant. I went 2 people so we ordered 2 dishes. We tried: 1. Pork Back Bone Stew: very huge portion. The meat is soft and you can feel the broth has been well cooked that gives you the sweet and rich taste. 2. Stir Fried Squid (because I love squid!): very good. This dish can be eaten with rice (if you want to be full) or will paired good with a taste of Soju. The portions are big so don't over ordering or you will have some food to go. The food is a little plaint and there's salt to add (if you are a salty food fan) to assure you don't leave the broth behind. You will feel healthy as you leave the place. Will be great to have for hangover or when you are sick. I went on a weekend night for dinner and the restaurant was a little quiet. I think this place is most suitable for lunch. I would definitely come back to try their other stews and pork belly!“

“My friend and I came here to grab lunch and it was a good experience! They had a big menu and we ended up ordering the all mozzarella and potato mozzarella and it was so delicious. The corndogs came out piping hot, and we slathered them with their wide selection of condiments and seasonings. The batter they use for these corndogs is so thick and chewy, we loved it. They had a decent amount of tables, but I noticed they didn't have a bathroom. Parking will be easy to find because it's in a plaza with numerous other shops + an HMart! Good place for quick & filling corndogs.“

“The food here is actually really good! I’ve been twice already and was pleasantly surprised the first time. Taste exactly how I would expect Korean bbq to taste :) I love the marinated beef and will try the ramen next. I just wish it was possible to get extra kimchi since I love it so “

“Newish spot next to HMart that sells Korean fried chicken. Compared to some other Korean Fried Chicken places I've tried, the wings here definitely stands out!The meat is tender and comes right off the bone cleanly and you can see the juices flowing out when you bite in. It's kind of amazing how juicy it is.It is a bit of a wait, but I was given some coleslaw and pickled radish when I dined in. Each table has wet wipes to clean your hands after and a metal bin to discard bones.“

“They don't speak English well, but... the lady got me fresh (made that day) batch from the back and not from the front fridges. It was so fresh, that I had to have it sit non-refrigerated for a couple of extra days at home. Nappa cabbage used was the good stuff. Overall taste was better than what you get in restaurants or markets. but not as bomb as Seoul Do Soon Yi Kimchi Company down the same street. Unless you plan on eating the whole big jar soon, I recommend you get the cabbage uncut to keep them fresh and crispy longer.“
