    Grapefruit salad
    Andrew K.

    Today I got to try dPlace, and I had such a great experience! As soon as we walked in, the atmosphere felt clean, modern, and welcoming. We ordered the salads, rosé pasta, and OC galbi, and everything was delicious. The galbi especially stood out, it was incredibly tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everything was also beautifully plated, which made the whole meal feel even more special. This is definitely a great place for a date, family dinner, or a small gathering. One of our servers, Jane, was especially friendly and sweet, and her service made our experience even better. The prices are on the higher side, but considering the quality of the food, atmosphere, and service, I think it's worth it for a nice meal or special occasion. I'll definitely be coming back, especially for that galbi! 5/5!

    The Korean style OC Galbi is a MUST TRY! The meat is so tender and flavorful. It's a big portion, enough for 2-3 people. We like to get it with the ssam. We also got the rose pasta with shrimp and the mushroom cream pasta with salmon. Both are really good! Though I think the OC Galbi stole the show. Cocktails here are also really good. They're big cocktails, not like the bars that charge for mostly ice. Service is good and the restaurant is big, great for groups!

    Miso pork belly plate/Galbi plate
    Kristin L.

    Come here regularly and they are consistently so good, great quality always! The service is always friendly and prompt and the manager Rueben I believe his name was , always attentive and checks in! We love the Galbi plate(Korean style), and miso pork belly plate, potato truffle jeon goes crazy 10/10 recommend and always get these three plates! Flavors are soo good so many good side dipping sauces, and we always add Ssam! Also kids menu is super fair priced, they loved the pasta with tomato sauce. Comes with a little juice box. Dessert wise the lava cake and churros is the only things I've tried so far both are good!!

    Shrimp Rose Pasta

    Heard from a friend that this place was pretty bomb so decided to try it for my bday dinner with my fam *** ORDERED Fried Calamari $18 Loved the fried calamari! Very crunchy and a perfect mix with both mayo and the marinara sauce. They fry the entire squid together and so they provide scissors for you to cut it :)) Truffle Pasta w/grilled salmon $28 (Forgot to take a picture) Very VERY creamy and thick I will say, it's better to just finish it there at the restaurant because they use A LOT of butter OC Galbi Korean $62 Comes with some banchan (sides) and a bowl of rice. It's a sweet savory cut up cow but I'm not sure if it's well worth the pricing Pescatore $19 A fairly basic seafood red sauced spaghetti Shrimp Rosè pasta $18 Brother had ordered this and said it was a bit on the watery side. I couldn't really taste the rosè in the pasta *** VIBES It's actually fairly loud in the restaurant as there is music and it's a big place. But it is a Korean family friendly place with fancy cutlery *** PEOPLE We had a reservation and were seated fairly fast and on time :) efficient and friendly staff *** OVERAL I think I liked this place but I somewhat feel that there are better places for Asian fusion with better price ranges. Don't get me wrong tho: I do think trying it once is always a good idea

    The food was exceptional here! They have one of the best calamari dishes I've ever had. We ordered the Mala rigatoni. The sauce was well balanced with just the right kick. The broccolini was topped with a delicious chili crisp. The short rib steak was cooked to perfection and each slice melted in our mouths. We are definitely coming back!

    Been here plenty of times and have gotten ALMOST everything on the menu. Front of house staff are amazing from A to Z, but the back of house needs to do better QC. We got served multiple closed mussels and were told they come from a vendor who boils/steams them before they get delivered. Nevertheless, the risk of eating a mussel that's died prior to cooking is high enough for Vibrio contamination that it should be weeded out BEFORE serving to customers. One of the managers said it was safe, but my dad is immunocompromised so he skipped all the seafood we ordered. But that's quite literally the only issue we've had in the 5+ times we've visited. Highlights: OC Galbi Korean Truffle pasta w/ grilled salmon Pescatore pasta Rosé pasta La Carne pasta Fried calamari (you MUST order this every time) Jjamppong Lowlights: Skip all the risottos. Tried all 3 of them and they don't make them very well here. Also check your mussels!

    OC Galbi Korean
    Marian X.

    First visiting this place and absolutely had a great experience here. Highly recommend to make a reservation because they can be very busy especially on the weekends. Jjamppong Pasta: the pasta is chewy and well seasoned. It is not overly spicy and it comes with a good amount of seafood. Definitely recommend this if you want a different kind of pasta. OC Galbi Korean: Absolutely loved this dish. Must order and try this! The galbi is cooked just right, tender and juicy. The seasoning is on point as well. The arugula salad is a great match to the galbi, add a bit of refreshing taste to it. FYI, you can ask for more arugula salad for additional costs. I hope they're able to keep this. This is a great place of to hang out with friends. Lots of drink offered. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is modern and cozy. One suggestion is that their ordering system definitely needs some improvement. It often lags or freezes. Also, maybe consider adding an alert system because it might be difficult to get a staff's attention. Overall, highly recommended. And I would definitely come back.

    Mentai cream pasta
    Shirley B.

    Food: We came here to celebrate one of my parents' birthdays. The food reminded me a bit of Kei Concepts restaurants, with stylish presentations and Korean-inspired influences, but with much bolder flavors. Honestly, almost every dish could dial the seasoning back just a notch and still be excellent. The Myungran (mentai) cream pasta was delicious, creamy, and rich, but wow, it was much spicier than I expected when I ordered the spicy version. Not a complaint, just something to be aware of if you're expecting a mild kick. The beef tartare was well presented and flavorful, while the OC Galbi was probably the star of the meal, tender and packed with flavor. The prosciutto grapefruit burrata salad was the only dish that didn't fully land for me. The grapefruit and dressing combination leaned a little too tangy and acidic, with what felt like slightly too much vinegar for my taste. Price: Pricing lands in the upscale-casual range. Pastas generally run about $18-25, appetizers are mostly $15-20, steaks range from roughly $35-55, and signature dishes like the OC Galbi are around $60-65. For a meal with appetizers, entrées, and drinks, expect around $40-80 ish per person depending on what you order. Considering the presentation, portions, and quality of ingredients, I thought the pricing was fair for a birthday dinner. Ambiance: The restaurant strikes a nice balance between trendy and comfortable. It feels elevated enough for birthdays, anniversaries, or date nights, but not so formal that you feel out of place. The atmosphere is warm, modern, and has that polished Korean-fusion dining vibe that encourages you to order several dishes to share. Service: Service was attentive and professional throughout our visit. Food arrived in a reasonable timeframe, staff was friendly, and the overall experience felt well coordinated, which is especially appreciated when dining for a special occasion. They also have cute server robots going around from time to time! Parking: Parking was relatively easy thanks to the plaza location and dedicated lot. Much less stressful than fighting for street parking elsewhere in Orange County.

    The food here is amazing, the quality and flavors were truly as it showed on social media. From the Mala Rose Tteokbokki that was soft, chewy and full of creamy yet umami flavor to the tender galbi with banchan pairings such as kimchi and marinated bean sprout. It is a bit different, you order on a tablet that's at each table. We would prefer for their entree price points to have a full service experience as when we used the request for staff button on the tablet there was either a bit of a wait or they did not come. Service overall was eh. The food made up for it.

    This place was so good we came back twice in one week. Came here on m birthday with a reservation and we were seated promptly. We tried the Korean style steak and the flavors were amazing. I especially love that the steak was pre cut so it made digging in right away super easy. When we came back the second time we got the American style steak and it honestly was not as good. We got the mala pasta and garlic pasta and both were good. The mala rose had a good spice to it and it was balanced well with the creamy rose. Would definitely recommend

    Catherine B.

    Food used to be much better but has declined in quality and quantity. Yet, prices remain exorbitantly high for what you're getting. Their spicy rosé pasta no longer has veggies or rice cakes in it. The Korean galbi set has definitely declined in size and meat quality, and no longer comes with the banchan it used to. I think the dippin dots was $8, but they couldn't even take the time to put it in the bowl for me. Depending on who your server is, the service ranges from mediocre to nonexistent. This place had so much potential and the food was pretty good, but I just can't justify spending my time or money at an establishment that chases profits or attempts to cut costs completely on behalf of the patrons.

    Tatiana C.

    It was my friend & I's first time at dPlace and it was amazing! Ambiance is great and food was delicious. Ryan was an amazing server and helped us with any questions we had! We'll definitely be coming back!

    Ordered the tteokgalbi steak ($34). It was basically a thick hamburg steak (ground meat with onions inside) over a bed of mashed potatoes with sauce, topped with fried mushrooms, and served with a side of veggies. Ngl I thought I'd get thick cut steak, but this was good and juicy too! I'd prefer if the veggies were served hot like the meat. Restaurant was very clean, gives work appropriate vibes, but you can still dress casual. Waitress only comes when your food arrives or when you call for her on the table kiosk.

The other two I had were delicious but I was pretty disappointed by the fish to rice ratio. There was so much rice. And the price is pretty expensive. Service- i think it'd be better to have an employee take orders to explain the items better rather than self service iPad. Ambiance- clean and open. Parking lot is tight and I bet it can get pretty busy. Overall it was tasty except for the spicy tuna. Price is steep for what it is.

On the other hand, I'm not a huge fan of super crispy breading and the extravagant charge that KFC commands. It's the same situation at I Got My Sound Chicken; the Mala Gala sauced chicken was super, the Honey Luv Rap, a little less so--but the price for all of it with fries was ridiculously expensive. All told, an 8 piece combo with fries and soda came out close to $32. That's kind of hard to swallow when I was having an 8 piece (often 9 or 10) combo at World Fried for $19 with better flavors, a better side in onion rings, and fountain soda instead of a limited can option. And that's how I always feel about places like this. Yes, they have good sauces. But I never feel like paying more for super crunchy breading and drink options that are never refillable. That's not worth an extra $6 to $10 to me compared to a non-Korean wing or fried chicken shop. The customer service was alright. They did a lot for a super swamped dining room. I actually appreciated how accommodating they were with our party wanting to dine in. That being said, I never liked crowded food joints where a mandatory wait over fifteen minutes await you. If it's sitdown, I like knowing the ambiance will be 80% capacity so there's no wait or maybe a ten minute max wait. Anything more than that and it feels like I'm being rushed so they could get the next waiting customer party in. And one of the things that ruins food the most is feeling like I can't take my time with my entree. In summary, I Got My Sound does good chicken, but not good enough for the price or the wait. Sadly, my search for the next great wing or chicken place after World Fried continues.
