This was my favorite Korean food place!! The food was always so good and consistent and the service was very consistent as well! I am sad that they closed! I hope they open a new location!! read more

Great place to grab a quick and healthy meal. Serving up some Korean classics like bibimbap and bulgogi. The presentation is a 5 out of 5. The meat portion might be on the lighter side for those needing more protein. Clean, healthy, fresh, made to order. read more

Food is great and service used to be too. However the new younger lady who works the cash register now is extremely rude. As long as she's working there, will be taking my business elsewhere read more

Dosirak is Korean for Bento. And if you don't know what a Bento means it's essentially means a lunch box. The good news is they offer brown rice for a $2 charge. The food was good and the service was great but I feel Katie's Kitchen in Koreatown and Chillban in Fullerton offers better lunch boxes. read more

Hubby and I needed to grab a quick bite while running errands around the area and we found Dosirak Express. This checked all the boxes - fast, comforting food, and not out of the way. THE MOOD: Disorak Express is located in the Quail Hill Shopping Center so there is plenty of parking. Just keep in mind that this place is exactly what the name of the place says - EXPRESS! So, there is not a lot of seating indoors, but if you want to relax and hang out to eat, there is plenty of seating outside. There's also banchan and drinks that you can grab and go. Overall, the place feels clean and open. THE 'TUDE: The service was really nice and they got us in and out - no complaints! THE FOOD: We got several items - the bibimbap, japchae, corn croquettes, and the veggie roll. My favorites were the veggie roll and japchae (I'm a sucker for noodles!). Also wanted to mention that the beef in the bibimbap was nice and flavorful. OVERALL: If we are looking for a quick lunch spot to grab and go or if we are craving some quick K food, we will definitely be back. read more

Found my new favorite Korean grab and go spot in Irvine. I ordered the short rib rice bowl and the spam kimbap and both completely exceeded expectations. The short rib was tender with that perfect sweet savory marinade and the veggies were so fresh it felt like a healthier version of comfort food. The egg on top was cooked perfectly with that glossy yolk moment. The spam kimbap was packed tightly with crisp veggies and had really balanced flavors, not overly salty or heavy. Inside, it feels like a mini Korean market with shelves of freshly made banchan, soups, soy sauce eggs, and sides that look like something straight out of a home kitchen. I love that you can grab a full meal or just pick up a few side dishes. I also noticed people building their own ramen bowls with toppings which looked so fun and definitely something I want to try next time. The location is super convenient in the Albertsons plaza right off the 405 and there is plenty of parking. Lots of outdoor seating, clean space, and friendly staff. Everything felt quick, efficient, and thoughtfully put together. Definitely an Irvine gem and I would absolutely come back to explore more of the menu. read more

I ordered from Dosirak Express through Door Dash so I'm not quite sure the ambience of the restaurant. We ordered a spicy pork bibimbap and a salmon dosirak. The bibimbap, I think, would be better without the gochujang since the spicy pork is already marinated. The gochujang sauce is pretty sweet! The pork was pretty good! We ordered the dish with no rice, thinking they would add more vegetables to make it one full portion but that was sadly not the case so we ended up adding our own vegetables and a bit of rice to make it more filling. The salmon dosirak could've been better if the salmon wasn't from frozen. It was quite fishy and dry. The size of the salmon was small as well. The sides were bland as well as the dumplings that came with it. I previously have had the beef bibimbap before this and I thought that was really good with the gochujang sauce so I do recommend that! Also have had the spam kimbap as well and I thought it was pretty bland. The seaweed and rice didn't taste seasoned. read more

Great place for a quick bite! This place is meant to be a take out place so not that many seating indoors. You can choose between their bowl or dosirak. Their bowl comes with rice, choice of protein, veggies and salad. The dosirak comes with rice, choice of protein, and korean sides like japchae and fried mandu. They also have a good selection of kimbap you can choose from, and cold banchan sides and soups you can buy to take home. If ramen is your vibe, there's a self service ramen station too! Overall food had great flavor. I got the galbi bowl today and it was nice and tender! Great place for a quick bite! read more

Very quick, friendly service in a spacious, clean space. There are a few seating options inside, but the food is really meant for takeout. Ample patio seating shared with several fast food options including bbq chicken, Johnny's Pizza, and Natraj's Tandoori Indian Food. I got the bulgogi kimbap. It was just 1 long roll for $8.95. Kinda pricey for such a small portion, but it was just right for me. Flavorful, fresh snack. I'd love to come again and try out some of their other options. It is located in the Quail Hill Plaza (3 doors down from Albertsons). read more

Dosirak Express - Dosirak, Grilled Chicken Breast (닭가슴살 도시락) - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

This place is fresh and fast. The spicy chicken was delicious and one of the best I've had. Price is very reasonable. They also sell packaged side dishes and kimchi. The inside is pretty bare which is why I took off a star. Not many seats inside but you can go outside and sit. Overall, a great place for quick and delicious meal. read more

Dosirak Express - Spicy chicken bowl - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

For a quick, healthy Korean meal, check out Dosirak Express. They have several bowls/dosiraks with beef, chicken, pork, salmon and tofu. Their spicy pork and spicy chicken are on the milder side - definitely not as spicy as typical Korean food. Proteins are cooked to order. Bowls come with rice and salad. I like to get the kimbap, which is ready to go - available with bulgogi, pork, tuna and Spam. They also have a selection of pickled veggies, stews and soups in their refrigerator case. Some indoor seating and plenty of outdoor patio seating. Lots of parking in the lot. read more

It's really the Best Galbi Beef I've ever had. I'm amazed they haven't opened a shop in Encinitas. Their business would do SO well. We need korean food like this, and I would come every day. read more

I can see this as a treasure for local working professional professionals as you have these amazing Korean bento boxes that are ready to go, and it is as the title tells you an express location. However, there is nothing express about the time and care they put into each food box. I would say that the price is reasonable for the location and the amount of food that you get. Take a look at my pictures you can see that there is so much care in the yummy Korean food and I would definitely come visit again if I am in the area, but my kids loved it and there was enough seating outside next to the fountain. The vibe inside is Korean convenient store, but what you will find is lots of good Korean options both in drinks, snacks, and bowls. Next time, I will definitely try the Kim bap but we were all craving for rice and meat. read more

Long time customer review! Love this location for all the various types of kimbap they have! My kids love the original, tuna and the vegetable kimbap. All three are non-spicy and full of veggies as well! Inside there are also Korean side dishes & soups that are readily available for purchase. I tend to always buy the Korean squash soup just for the convenience of not having to prepare it myself ^^ they also have drink options so I will pickup the Pororo drinks for my kids once in awhile as a treat. Always a hit! There is a second location inside the Rancho San Joaquin golf shop but I tend to come to the Quail Hill location because there is more food besides the kimbaps. Cashiers are always nice and quick so it's an easy in and out. Always clean and cool inside. Next time can't wait to try some of the meals they prepare for take-out! read more

I was craving a bulgogi rice bowl and found Dosirak Express through Google. There are only 2 tables inside so its just a spot to grab a quick meal in takeout containers to enjoy outside by the fountain where there's multiple seating choices. The beef bulgogi dosirak really hit the spot, as I got beef, rice, 2 wontons, noodles, and other little bites like fish cakes and bean sprouts in a bento-style box. I enjoyed the flavors of everything and was happy to have chosen this spot for lunch. Would recommend. read more

decided to come here post sauna session on a whim because i couldn't decide what to eat and i'm so happy i did! i got the beef bulgogi dosirak and i was delighted! the food was fresh and the protein made to order. the sides were also pretty yummy! i loooved the glass noodles it came with. it was the perfect meal for my indecisive mind and hungry belly. there were high top tables and chairs outside to sit in and they had a heating lamp wish was nice and cozy. i was able to eat my meal outdoors in the fresh air and i enjoyed that so much. read more

My mom and I had a terrific lunch here. We both ordered Dosirak plates: she had the bulgogi beef and I had the galbi (boneless short rib). The dishes, served in plastic trays, had a generous portion of beef, seasoned rice, rice noodles, dumplings, pickles and tofu strips. Both her bulgogi and my galbi beef (boneless short rib) were tender and well prepared. The side dishes were equally excellent. We were also given a spicy sauce on the side which had just the right amount of spice. The woman who served us behind the counter was very friendly. Because it's mainly a take out place we sat outside the restaurant in a very nice seating area. As it was a beautiful day it was a great place to eat. I thought the price of the meal was decent value (but not cheap) --- alot of great quality food for the price. read more

I've been to Dosirak Express a couple of times now, and I have to say the spare rib dosirak (bento) box is absolutely delicious! Definitely my go-to here. I tried the chicken box the other day and it was fine, but nothing compares to the spare ribs. I also really like the variety of sides that come with the dosirak though I secretly wish I could swap out the tofu for something else, haha. Still, everything is fresh and well put together. If you're looking for a hearty, flavorful meal, the spare rib dosirak is the winner! read more

Food was good, service fast and easy, ambiance relaxed Will try more items in the future read more

The bento boxes are so good! The portions are big and the ingredients are fresh. I really enjoyed the beef bulgogi .

If you're looking for a quick Korean food fix, Dosirak is the place to go for a Togo lunch or dinner during a weekday. Their dosirak are similar to a bento box style dish where there's a main protein entree served with steamed rice and a couple side dishes on the side. Their kimbap are also very popular and you can't go wrong with either options. I also tried their homemade side dishes they sell on the side refrigerator. The spicy pickled radish was fermented perfectly. This is more of a quick casual spot for food to go rather than a sit down place. read more

Dosirak Express - Tuna kimbap - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

We ordered 1 Glazed Salmon Dosirak & 1 Short Rib, Boneless Dosirak, they are both so fresh & delicious! I think I ended up liking the Salmon more. It came with Korean dumplings or pancakes (of your choice) and a few different side dishes, I also love how you can choose half rice & half salad as the base. The portion is decent, I couldn't finish the entire dosirak myself. This location only accepts take-out orders. They also sell their own kimchi & other Korean side dishes, and Korean beverages. I have heard great things about their kimbap but they were sold out by the time I was there (around 7 pm), so that's what I'll try next time! Recommended! read more

The quality of there food has really declined!! They chop up their meat to fine that it looks like dog food. Also the meat was so dry even my teen daughter said she didn't enjoy the food this time. So overpriced for low quality food! Take your money somewhere else. read more

This was my 1st visit today for a quick late-lunch pickup. I decided to try the Galbi Dosirak w/half white rice & half salad & Dumplings. The meal was ready right when I walked in & it was delicious. The sides were yummy too (pickled radish, zucchini, and what I think was tofu. I enjoyed it all. I added some Sriracha on my rice cause I like my food a little spicy especially to go along with the sweetness of the Korean dishes. I think the price was a bit high for the portion size of the dosirak but it was tasty so I can see myself coming back again, but in moderation. read more

We ordered our go-to bulgogi kimbap today and thought we can also get the rice box set (dosirak). It has dumplings and many other side dishes. The service is super fast. The food is so good. My kid asked me if the kimbap was expensive and I asked her why. She said it tastes expensive because it is so good. The beef version sold out fast. So go early. They have some tables and chairs inside if you want to eat there. Also have a bar style seatings against the wall. Right outside the mir shop are nice seating areas which is part of the shopping center. So you definitely can enjoy your meal there even with a group of people. read more

Dosirak Express - Bulgogi kimbap - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

Are you tired of teriyaki beef bowls and orange chicken like me?! Because I have the place for you. It's located in the back of the shopping center next to the Albertsons. We came during the Saturday lunch hour and there was only one person ahead of us in line, with plenty of parking. The store serves as a banchan market and fresh Korean "bento" restaurant. Despite the big space, there isn't much seating inside, so I recommend sitting outside. The staff was really friendly and very apologetic that they ran of out kimbap. No matter, we ordered a Kalbi and Spicy Pork bowl. If you have a standard appetite, order to-go, as even a bowl is a lot of food. The meat seemed to be cooked fresh and was absolutely delicious. The veggies are served cool, but are cooked so they are soft to the tooth. The salad comes with a standard Korean vinegar based dressing. There is a great topping to rice ratio, so it is well worth the price. After trying another dosirak place in Lake Forest, I can say Dosirak Express will be my go-to. Since it's a bit out of the way from the standard Irvine thoroughfares, I won't be coming here too often. But when I'm in the area, I'll make sure to bring my appetite. read more

Originally got put on by my girl and fell in love with the whole menu and Banchan immediately. Everything from the pickled squid, every red meat choice on the menu and the salads are bomb and full of flavor. It's a small place with not a lot of room so plan to take out or eat outside. As someone that hits this place up on their lunch break it really comes out fast with tons of time to spare so everything's perfect across the board. Looking forward to coming back here again and again! read more

A convenient store to satisfy your korean food cravings. The kimbap was pretty inexpensive and a good, filling meal to eat for a quick lunch. Kimbap is premade and sits in their food warmer, while it wasn't the most amazing kimbap I've ever had, it was still pretty delicious. I got the spam kimbap. Kimchi is a bit on the sour side, but still a solid pairing to eat with your kimbap. I also got a spicy pork triangle kimbap to eat later, which was also pretty good considering it was refrigerated and premade. The spicy pork is a bit on the sweet side, but honestly a very affordable option! read more
