It's filled with a great amount of chicken, fries, and toppings. Definitely filling and such a great meal! I've been here a few times already and service is always great whilst also having consistent quality with their food! Def recommend this spot!!

Visited this spot on a Tuesday with my girlfriend. First impression was decent, but overall the…read moreexperience landed around a 2.5-3/5 for me. We ordered the beef shawarma plate (originally meant to get the wrap, but were charged for the plate instead). At $23, the value just wasn't really there. The portion felt a bit underwhelming, especially since a large part of the plate ends up being rice and hummus rather than a strong focus on the meat itself. The biggest downside for me was the meat quality, which didn't stand out and honestly felt like it could be improved. On top of that, the fact that sauces are charged separately adds to the feeling that everything is nickel-and-dimed a bit. I've heard this place used to have a stronger reputation when it first opened, but based on this visit, it didn't quite live up to that. It wasn't terrible, but it also didn't give me much reason to come back. Overall: decent idea, but needs work on portion size, pricing, and meat quality to really compete in the area.

After being fed several videos on IG singing the praises of Yoo's Place, I'll admit I was both…read morehopeful and skeptical of what they showed. The former because everything looked and sounded so good; the latter because it's hard to know whether you can trust what some of these foodie accounts are saying is truthful or paid for. Given how I write Yelp reviews, the irony in saying that doesn't escape me. However, now that I've been here several times, I can happily report that everything those IG accounts said was entirely true! Even though their complex isn't very large (parking is usually easy, but it can be scarce at time), Yoo's Place itself is decently large and always seems to have tables available for groups large or small. Similarly, their menu is rather extensive as well, to the point where it took us a while to figure out what we wanted to try most the first time we came here. Whether it be their appetizers, soups, stews, cold noodles, hot noodles, BBQ meats, stone pot dishes, bossam, broiled fish, galbijjim, and even omurice and Chinese dishes. In short, too many dishes for me to try before finally writing this! -- BANCHAN For the most part, all of these were great! Of the bunch, the fishcakes, kimchi, and radish were my favorites. I also like the kabocha a lot, but they sometimes slather too much mayo/sauce. -- HAEMUL PAJUN - Seafood & Green Onion Pancake As weird as it is to say, this almost came with too many goodies, as it was chock full of seafood and green onions. Definitely a nice problem to have, but I do wish there had been a bit more batter to make this crispier. -- HAEMUL KALGUKSU - Homemade Noodles with Seafood I don't get this often, so I don't know how it compares to others, but this tasted so good! The noodles had such a nice chew to them and I love that they didn't skimp on the seafood. Plus, the portion is large enough where you could easily stretch this into two meals! -- SEOLLEONG TANG - Ox Bone Soup Similar to the Haemul Kalguksu, this was one hearty bowl of soup! The broth was rich and beefy, there were several large chunks of meat, and there was a lot of noodles in this. Plus, I liked that they also included a lot of veggies and strips of eggs, too. -- DAKNALGAE TWIGIM - Deep Fried Chicken Wings Despite falling a bit short of what we hoped for, this was still pretty solid. While the portion initially seemed light (only about eight wings), each piece was HUGE, the batter was crispy, and the chicken itself was juicy. I just wish it had been a little more flavorful. -- LA GALBI & (SUKEO) SOON TOFU COMBO - Marinated Beef Short Rib and Seafood & Beef Soon Tofu Soup The LA Galbi was great - meaty, well marinated, tender, lightly charred, and the portion was sizable for a combo. As for the Soon Tofu, it was terrific! The tofu soup was rich and hearty, had a good mix of beef and seafood, and was just so comforting. -- JAJANG MYUN - Noodles with Black Bean, Pork, Cream Sauce Maybe it's because I haven't had a legit Korean Jajang Myun in ages, but this was pretty good! The noodles were perfect and I love how it came loaded with plenty of pork and onions. The sauce had a bit of an aftertaste to it, but I still liked this. -- KODUNGAE - Broiled Mackerel This was delicious! Compared to the one we had at BCD, this one was deboned better and was just as big, if not bigger. Plus, not only was it still really moist, but the mackerel still had some crispy edges, too. -- KALBIJJIM - Braised Short Ribs While I do wish this had more chili peppers in this (it was really yellow), the taste of this was still awesome. More importantly, there was a fair amount of short ribs, which were so tender and meaty, along with rice noodles, glass noodles, cheese, and vegetables. SO GOOD! -- NAENGMYUN - Sliced Beef & Vegetables over Noodles with Spicy Sauce This was on the house (possibly from ordering the kalbijjim) and, even though it might have been a scaled down version of the dish, this was still so good! The noodles had the perfect chew, there was just a touch of heat, and the overall flavors were amazing! In addition to the food, the service here is fantastic. All of the workers are super friendly and the kitchen gets dishes out very quickly. What's more, the workers will happily refill any banchan dishes and every table comes with a small thermos of beef bone broth that is just so PERFECTLY DELICIOUS! Even when it's hot out, it still hits the spot - it's just so warm and comforting! Honestly, it's one of my favorite things at Yoo's Place! With so many options in Irvine and around the rest of OC, I know there may very well be better places than Yoo's Place, especially when it comes to a specific dish. However, I can't imagine that Yoo's Place isn't among the best of the bunch. At the very least, it's the best I've tried thus far and I wouldn't hesitate to keep coming back even as I try more places in OC!

There is nobody else standing in line outside and the owner comes outside to tell me 2 times that I need to wait 30-40 minutes. I told her there is no waiting in front of me, and that it should be first come, first serve. She says no, you can only sit on tables for 1 person and it will be a 30-40 min wait for that. I said okay, but if there is no line and people are done eating with empty tables it should be fine, right? There is a waitlist, and that it should go in order. She said no, you can only get seated on tables for 1. Then she proceeded to say it's a 30-40 min wait again as if I didn't already know that for the second time. I told her i'd wait, but now i'm feeling bad and don't know if she even cares to earn my business. It's my 5th time coming here, and unfortunately this place was one of my favorite Korean restaurants and since I'm from out of town I make sure to visit each time I am in the OC. I'm not sure if I want to continue coming back here if service remains this way. It's embarrassing enough to come alone, it's even worse when you're called out in front of people inside of the restaurant while there are only 3 people waiting outside. When I got seated she didn't even give me a menu and asked me what I wanted. Lucky for her i'm Korean and was already a repeat customer from the early days so I was able to order right away-otherwise how could I order? God forbid I ask for any recommendations on the menu... 1 star well deserved for this. Congratulations this is the first time I rated a fellow Korean restaurant 1 star. There is a first time for everything I suppose.

The only thing that missed for me was that the poke had way too much sauce for my taste. It tasted good and fresh but the ahi tuna was overpowered by the sauce keeping the flavor from coming through. The chicken was fried well, not over cooked. The sauce was tasty with some bite but not too hot for my girlfriend's mouth. The shrimp lollipops were good but the dipping sauce was a show stopper imo.

My son was a bit over sugared with the lemonade we ordered but when he calmed down it was better. They have a published kids menu but they have additional items not on the website available. My son ordered the Mac n cheese but ate 2 bites. Instead, this 4 yr old ate the lobster deviled eggs and calamari fries like they were his last meal. I think it's safe to say he's going to be expensive when he grows up. The poke stack was similarly good as was the Chardonnay I ordered. I have to say a big thank you to staff for being very patient with an over stimulated 4 yr old. I was trying very hard to get him to lower his voice and chill out and yall thought nothing of it. Thank you so much for your kindness. Given this experience we'll have to come back again to apparently give my child his fix of lobster, deviled eggs and calamari fries. But no lemonade! Thanks again!

Terrine (8/10)-love the meat pate did not have a funk and fresh, good protein starter Trout (9/10)-crispy skin with lots of almonds very light, bit too much almond but fish was fresh Duck (8.5/10)-sauce was a bit sweet but duck was cooked well Apple tart (9/10)-Apple tart with ice cream was a delightful end just wish there was more ice cream Overall portions are not too large price is up there but it's worth it for a causal French.

We ordered several things, and I was deliberate when ordering the entrecôte - I asked for medium and made a point of saying please don't overcook it. It came out overcooked. Our server did offer to have it remade, which I appreciated, but by that point, I had already filled up on everything else at the table. What I noticed after that was a shift in his attention. He seemed to redirect his energy toward a large, lively French party that had come in and were clearly having a celebration. The wine was flowing and the energy was high, and I get the appeal of that table. But we were still there, still his guests, and the attentiveness that made the beginning of the meal feel welcoming didn't quite carry through to the end. I'm sharing this as straightforward feedback, not a complaint. The framework of a good experience was there. The execution on the food and the consistency of service across the full meal are the parts that just need a bit of work.
