    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.

    Galibi Bibimbap, Boneless Short Rib (Beef)
    Ellie G.

    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.

    Dosirak with salmon - salmon size is small!

    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.

    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!

    Lots of dishes ready to go
    Jolie J.

    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).

    Spicy chicken bowl
    Zar P.

    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.

    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.

    I love going here for their kimbap! They're so tasty and convenient to bring on the go. I brought mine to the park across the street.

    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.

    Kimbap selection
    Lisa C.

    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!

    Galbi Dorisak (front) and Spicy Chicken Dosirak (back)
    Lily K.

    Honestly, the food was great. Flavor was so good on the meat and it was juicy and soft- not dry or too chewy. My favorite was all the sides that came with it because I love veggies! I am definitely coming back and trying more of their menu a

    Organic tofu dosirak
    Jami S.

    Dosirak is definitely my family's go-to take out spot! Not pricey for the quality of the food you receive. Big fan of the tofu dosirak. Really tasty and fresh. Staff are really nice and quick! My husband likes the #2 galbi dosirak. You can easily eat outside in the plaza seating.

    Short rib galbi bento (top) - so flavorful, highly recommend!  Bulgogi bento (bottom) - bulgogi was a bit dry/tough
    Michelle S.

    Food quality is always SOLID here and I absolutely love their Galbi Bento box. Their Kimchi Pancakes are good too, but sometimes they sell out early in the day. Have been here over 5+ times and I love going here whenever I need a quick to-go option! A bit pricey, but you're paying for the quality. Staff is typically nice as well.

    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!

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.

During that visit, I wasn't able to get the rice cake beef dumplings soup that I usually get here, so I opted for my other go to, which was Galbi Tang and it was not filling at all due to the smaller portion and how the bone-in beef was much shorter thN the usual size it came in before. The beef was also chewy and not soft nor tender. Noodles inside the soup was barely there, too. Husband got their stone pot rice with bulgogi and also wasn't full at the end of the meal. We decided to give it a break and try again a month later. We ordered: Galbi Tang $23.99 (deboned beef soup) and Yukdaejang $20.99 (requested no egg for both). The Galbi Tang had 5 big chunks of beef deboned and was quite tender and juicy! So glad they improved on that dish portion. The flavor of the broth was still the same as well. Hubby's yukaejang was also the best tasting to him compared to other places. Overall, we left happy, full, and very satisfied this time. Hopefully they don't completely get rid of their Tang N Tang side! Moreover, I'd be more excited if they can bring back the rice cake beef dumplings soup or even all veggies dumplings would be perfect, too!
