    Who knew Italian and Korean cuisines could fall so madly in love? This hip, unpretentious spot proves that savory Italian and semi-sweet, umami-rich Korean are a match made in culinary heaven. The vibe is perfectly romantic--ideal for staring deeply into your date's eyes while the attentive (but never hovering) staff ensures your happy hour drinks keep flowing. Honestly, the rich, old-country mushroom carbonara is such a fantastic flavor bomb that if someone took a bite at the next table, you'd immediately point to the waiter and say, "I'll have what she's having." The true climax of this delicious love affair, however, is the spicy risotto and the Tomahawk-sized OC Galbi. This slightly charred, mind-blowing cut of beef is a total celebration dish that you definitely couldn't pull off in your own kitchen or backyard. Between the fantastic happy hour apps and the undeniable Michelin Bib Gourmand potential, this Dplace isn't just a casual culinary fling--t's a happily ever after waiting to happen.

    Tried this place out for the first time. So worth the hour drive! There was no wait when we came at around 2 pm on a Sunday. Service was decently fast. I was amazed by the amazing quality of all of the food- we ordered the Korean Galbi, gochujang rigatoni, and the calamari. My fiance said that this was the best calamari he ever had, and I really liked the sauces they provided with it! The galbi was soooo nice and tender, and their plate comes with so much too- definitely enough to share amongst 3-4 people, and that's a lot coming from a big back like me. Service was also quick and attentive! I rounded up to a 5 stars, but this place is more like a 4.5 to me- the only thing that's preventing it from being perfect is their rampant use of AI. When I called, they had an AI answer my questions, and the Ai voice was super annoying and kept interrupting my questions. The uncanny part about the AI responder is that they play restaurant ambient noises in the background so that it "feels" like you're talking to a real person- it just feels so dystopian in my opinion. They also play AI music constantly in the restaurant, which can be repetitive and annoying to some. Anyway, I'm definitely coming back, but I would probably like this place even more if it had more of a human touch!

    I was pretty disappointed in this place. The atmosphere is nice but the food was a miss. I didn't take a picture of it, but some how a metal chard ended up in one of the pieces of the truffled potato appetizer. I was chewing and felt something sharp and weird in my mouth. Not sure how something like that could end up in the food, but that made me lose my appetite. The galbi was a let down. For $65 bucks, I was expecting better. It looks nice but for some reason the top portions were the cartilage pieces not the good parts of the meat. The best dish was the shrimp rose pasta, but it was still mid. You order off an iPad on the table so there's not too much interaction with the workers.

    My boyfriend and I have been wanting to try dPlace for a while so I decided to surprise him on his birthday. We went for an early Saturday dinner reservation and when we came inside, there was a very large party (about 35 people) waiting for a private room. Because of this, we stood by the door ungreeted by any staff and unsure if there was a host/hostess. Finally after the large party was seated, a hostess came out and showed us to our table but didn't really speak to us. Once we were seated, we realized we were supposed to order on a tablet but we thought it was strange that no one said anything to us. There was no "Hello, please take a look at our menu on the tablet" or any type of greeting. For a restaurant leaning on the "nicer" or pricier side, I'm used to being met with a hello or a little explanation of how the ordering works. The food comes out on a robot and a server would place it on our table without speaking to us or letting us know what the dish was. It just felt very strange and unhospitable. When we wanted to order drinks, we pressed the button to call a server and she was very nice and talkative. I think the servers were nice when you got a chance to talk to them but they really didn't take any initiative to take care of you or make you feel welcome. We weren't checked on until a new server came in at the end of our meal which is just not normal for this kind of restaurant. As for the food, we got the grapefruit burrata salad, the OC galbi, and the mala cream pasta. The grapefruit burrata salad was delicious and refreshing, both of our favorite dish of the night. The mala cream pasta was unique and very different from anything I've tried. I love malatang so this was a fun variation to try, although I probably would only want it as a shared dish. As for the galbi, the meat was very tender but unfortunately we felt it really lacked flavor. Overall, the meal was good and fine but for the price and social media hype, it didn't hit my expectations. I don't think I will be returning here but I'm glad I tried.

    it is my mother's birthday. I was about to approach 1 year mark with my new job. I took my mother out for dinner. My mom heard about this place from her friend. so why not. Know this place is relatively know since this was a Souplantation. The moment we entered the restaurant, it has this relaxing k-drama vibe. The light is kinda dim with an auto serving robot. The food order is done at the table with the tablet. We ordered the steak plate which is enough for 2 people. It was great. steak was juicy and tender. Fries were well seasoned and the sides provided a great balance.

    Highkey recommend this place for large parties/groups!! There is a semi private room located in the back that is available to book for a $50 deposit to guarantee/hold. This deposit will be taken off the bill and there is no minimum spend or set menu. I was told the room sits 20-25 comfortably. The food and service is always great here and the menu is always changing a little bit so you won't get tired coming back time and time again.

    Some of the yummiest Asian fusion pastas I've had at very affordable prices. Not much of a wait on a weekend lunch time with excellent service. The food comes quickly and also in huge portion sizes. Would definitely return!

    Great dinner spot that excels in their meat dishes but not the best place if you're looking for a truly fusion experience! If you do stop by, I recommend splurging on their OC galbi Korean platter since it's their most known dish and comes with perfectly cooked galbi and an assortment of banchans. Between the pasta dishes I got, I preferred the myungran cream pasta since I enjoyed the creaminess of the sauce with the saltiness of the pollack roe! The truffle salmon pasta was too fishy for my liking and the pasta came overcooked but overall, I still enjoyed my experience here!

    OC Galbi Steak Korean.  It comes with sides of kimchi, bean sprouts, and pickled jalapeños.

    Our party of 4 ordered 2 OC Galbi Steak Korean, 2 Fried Calamari, and 1 Rose Pasta. The galbi was wonderfully marbled and charbroiled to perfection. I was surprised to see that the calamari was a whole baby octopus instead of the typical squid rings served elsewhere, hence the included kitchen scissors so one can cut the cephalopod into smaller bite-sized morsels. The rose pasta with shrimp was a bit spicy for my taste but was nevertheless tasty. There is a tablet at one end of each table where one can order but we ended up asking one of the friendly staff to help us navigate the digital UI. The staff was also attentive during our stay. The place is very modern, clean, and well air-conditioned. It has a feeling of being spacious and uncluttered because the tables are sufficiently far apart from each other. Parking at the front could be a challenge but the rear lot has more stalls.

    Shrimp Rose Pasta, truffle salmon pasta, Jjamppong Pasta
    Julie H.

    It did not disappoint! We got the Shrimp Rosé, Truffle Salmon, and Jjamppong pastas. Each dish was packed with flavor. It was creamy, rich, and perfectly seasoned. Loved the iPad ordering and robot service-- fun experience. Staff was attentive and checked in often. Definitely coming back to try other items.

    Eight of us celebrated a rellie's bday at this KBBQ fuzn place in Fullerton. There were positives & negatives. Positives: Ariah (?) and Celine took great care of us; The price per person was reasonable @ ~$65. We had 3 drinks, 2 apps, 4 Galbi w/ banchan & rice, 2 pastas, one bulgogi rice and 3 desserts. There were some leftovers for 8 of us; Our table was somewhat partitioned off with a divider, so we did have some privacy; Negatives: The music was too loud; It took a while for them to clear our plates; All in all, a positive experience primarily bc of the good service. I would like to return in the future to try other dishes.

    Ribeye steak

    This is an interesting Korean American fusion restaurant, but I would consider it more American than Korean. Reasons for that: no rice (unless you order it separately), no banchan, not chop sticks, no soup ... This isn't necessarily a diss -- just that this is more an American restaurant that borrows a little bit of Korean than a Korean restaurant that incorporates some American. We went with a large group so we got to taste almost everything. And that's one good thing ... Dishes are large and very good for sharing. I thought the bossam was the best. The ribeye steak was a close second. I thought both were cooked very well-- the meat was juicy and very flavorful. But, to be a bit of a stickler, the bossam was really pork belly ... Bossam is the same cut of meat but it's supposed to be steamed for a long time so that the fat really renders. Here, it's basically just cooked like pork belly. Good. But not bossam. Others at the table really liked the pork chops and American galbi as well. I didn't like them as much because I thought they were too sweet -- particularly the pork chops. If you like a really sweet flavor, then maybe you'll like it. The seafood risotto was fine, but nothing special. Same with the pasta -- just fine. The calamari was also quite excellent. Pro tips: there are things you can order that are not on the menu, including sodas, steamed rice, and kimchi. I was going to take points off for no kimchi. But you can request it.

    Rose Pasta
    Judy D.

    Gave this place another try and I was glad that menu and food got improved. Got the Galbi American style this time and it was good not as sweet as before but for $65 a little steep. Garlic pasta was just so so more onion than garlic taste. The rose shrimp pasta was delicious this time I can tell the sauce was definitely improved. I love the option of reserving in advance so that's a plus. I would be back again for the rose pasta.

It's a bit of a fast casual restaurant, where you order at the front, take a number, sit down, and they will deliver to your table. I ordered the Lemon Pancakes, Breakfast Burrito with Bacon, and black coffee. The breakfast burrito is definitely hearty and very filling, a bit salty for my taste from the bacon. The Lemon pancakes are flavorful and fluffy, a great sweet treat if you are looking for one. Coffee is coffee. I'll definitely come back and try other dishes.

While the chicken risotto was pricy, I enjoyed the mixed flavors and large portion size. The flavor came from the caper-parmesan beurre blanc sauce. It's a slightly creamy butter sauce with mild sweetness and added flavor from white wine. The capers added a very welcome tangy and savory seasoning to the sauce; they're one of my favorite garnishes. The flavors from the breaded chicken and risotto weren't too strong.

However, I recommend parking in their parking lot, in the back. That way, you get a view of the garden before you place your order. It's still nice in the front, very welcoming.

The counter is near the back, on the left hand side. I grabbed a menu to take a look before I ordered. Food items listed on one side of the menu, and so many drink options on the other side. Little overwhelming. Too many choices. Coffee and non-coffee drinks. Although they offer paninis and avocado toast, I ordered a regular spicy pork cupbap ($15) and Dubai chocolate latte, iced ($7.75), paid at the counter, and received a pager. When the pager started buzzing, I went inside to pickup my order. My drink was basically a dessert in a cup. Absolutely delicious. So many wonderful ingredients on top. The spicy pork cupbap is spicy. I mixed it all up like I would any bibimbap. It consisted of white rice, glass noodles, red cabbage, pork, and a perfectly fried egg on top. Delicious. They offer a large size, but regular is more than enough. I decided to sit outside, in the back, to get the full garden experience. Although Fullerton is a little warm in June, the garden is absolutely wonderful. It's like sitting in someone's backyard, but on steroids. You shouldn't have trouble finding a spot to sit. There are so many tables and chairs, all over the place, around every corner: In the main garden, in the garden in front, on both sides of the cafe, on both porches, the one in the back and smaller one in front. It's a garden of Eden, with a large, fruitful lemon tree standing in the center. Green plants and trees all over the place, flowering plants and succulents. There's a large gazebo and umbrellas to shade you from the sun. Fun, whimsical displays throughout the garden, including bird houses, curated displays, and miniature communities.
