Portions were a little small for the sandwich. It was more of a snack. $11 (includes tax) for a small chicken sandwich was also pretty wild. The Seoul Chicken Sandwich usually comes pretty drenched in sauce, but this one was missing a good amount of sauce. The crisp of the chicken was totally fine...Just needed to pour on some more sauce. Front cashier girl was friendly and there's one chef or kitchen person making your order. I came in on a not so busy hour, so there was only one other patron dining in. I did notice both staff eventually were visibly on their phones. I was heading out, didn't particularly matter to me, but might for a customer walking in. The corridor to the bathroom was pretty neat though. Bathroom was also pretty clean.

Compare to Sun Nong Dan the JinCook soup seem like it was flavorless and wish they had more ribs in it for 23$. The braised Beef though was worth it and very fulfilling. Although bit sweeter than anticipated. That's definitely be a dish if you go with 2 people it's good portion. Never order the Galbi Tang. Other than that. Service was very good. Servicer comes and ask you how your food was. Refills on the ban chan.Also have a rice cake for mother's day.

Both kimchis were delicious, I enjoyed the water kimchi more. Service was super friendly and quick. Plenty of parking and definitely can accommodate large parties (8+). Inside was clean! Can wait to come again to try other menu items!

5 stars I may be…read moreslightly biased, but this has been one of my favorite eats in OC since I was a child. Everything here is amazing and flavorful. I ordered - Kalguksu (with chicken broth) $17.99 : Portion size is very generous, the soup is so hearty and filling, especially on a cold day. The noodles are cooked perfectly and is topped with a generous amount of beef. My #1 recommendation from MDK. - Pork dumplings $17.99 : My favorite dumplings in all of OC. They are so incredibly juicy and flavorful and the thin wrapper helps bring out the flavors even more. The spicy kimchi here is also so yummy, the perfect balance of spicy and garlicky. I highly recommend you try it, even if you're not the biggest fan of kimchi. Overall, MDK has been here for years, and will always have a special place in my heart for the yummiest, heartiest foods.

Hangyang has been one of the must visit places ever since I found it about 15 years ago when I…read morevisited Anaheim for blizzcon. The place only serves a limited staple of Korean food but what they serve they do them so well that it's worth going just for that small menu. Over the years they expanded their menu but their staple imo is the galbi tang or beef bone soup. It comes with 2 pieces of large beef bones. The soup is delicious and is paired perfect with the mustard sauce. There are other delicious offering such as the thistle rice bowl. I'd say because of the limited menu everything is great. The parking lot can be packed especially in the weekend as all the church goes come by. Most of the clienteles are usually middle aged or older so you know they know what authentic Korean food is. The service is extremely efficient and very friendly. The place is clean just like most Korean restaurants. Nothing to complain about. Order the galbi tang and you'll be coming back.

My husband order the Pork Belly stone plate, pork was so fresh and tender and just the right amount of fat. I ordered the Spicy Tofu Soup with beef, broth was delicious and soup was hot, so good!!! Every order comes with traditional sides, which were all so tasty. Staff were very friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness. Inside is clean and painted images of Korea. We will definitely be coming back here again!!!!! Can't wait to try more things! Pictures next time!

Cons: - everything was a bit sweet - the pork katsu was a bit bland as well as the mac salad side dish - the pork katsu sort of peeled away from the meat because of the heat of the dish overall: - great service, big portions, would visit again! just beware if you want a spicer version of these dishes and a stronger taste. the katsu could have been a bit crisper as well, I think the bibimbap was done very well. the dishes are served in a stone plate keeping them hot through the meal

Came here around 5:45 PM and it was busy but no line -- always a good sign. The interior is super…read morebright and welcoming, and most of the staff are ajummas, which honestly gives it that comforting, homey Korean diner vibe. You can tell this place has a strong base of regulars too, I saw a mix of friend groups and families casually walking in like it's their go-to spot. We ordered the cold noodles combo with jokbal (pork hock) for $30.95. Portion wise, it's SOLID for two people. The cold noodles were refreshing and really hit the spot, especially if you like that clean, slightly tangy flavor. The jokbal was very decent. Not bad, but if you've had it in Korea, you'll notice it doesn't quite hit the same level still totally "usable," just not standout. Value, this is where they win. We got full off just one combo, which is rare these days. Plus, all the usual Korean side dishes are complimentary, and they also served a warm bone broth at no extra cost. I've honestly never had that offered like this before, and it made the whole meal feel extra comforting and homey. Small detail, but I also appreciated that the table was already fully set up with bowls, utensils, and water which makes everything efficient. Overall, really solid experience. It actually gave me a bit of that Seoul nostalgia, which is hard to replicate. Definitely coming back to try more dishes.

Right when you walk in there's a lady server who rudely points at you to sit at a table. When you…read moresit down you can smell the lazily cleaned tables and the cups all smell like bleach. (Pretty sure it's just the owner) who was very friendly, but the other staff had a huge attitude, the girl who dropped off our side dishes dug her hands into the dishes to grab two at a time which was super unsanitary. She threw the last side dish on our table while she was walking away too. I wanted to be optimistic about the food even though the staff gave a terrible first impression. We ordered two soups. They were both super bland. My partner and I kept debating whether or not to ask for more salt because of the lack of seasoning in both of our meals. Even the side dishes were lacking flavor and looked like they were sitting out for a long time. The only good thing I have to say about this place is the kind lady (probably owner) of the restaurant. Everything else was a huge let down. I wanted to like the food here because there's a lot of good Korean restaurants in Irvine, and this could've been one of them but sadly it's not worth coming back.

Came here with a group on a busy night and our server Megan absolutely carried the experience. She…read morewas super attentive the entire time, constantly checking on us, changing our grill before we even had to ask, and making sure we never ran out of meats or sauce. Even though the restaurant was packed, she stayed friendly, fast, and organized the whole night! What stood out most was her energy! she made the table feel really welcomed and comfortable instead of rushed like a lot of AYCE KBBQ places. She gave great recommendations, explained menu items for some people in our group who were new to Korean BBQ, and kept the vibe fun the entire time. The restaurant itself was really clean, lively, and had a great atmosphere. The food came out quickly and everything tasted fresh. The brisket, spicy pork belly, and bulgogi were probably our favorites, and the sides and cheese corn were so good too. You can tell why this place is always busy. Honestly one of the best service experiences I've had at Mr. BBQ. Food was amazing, but the service is what made us want to come back. Ask for Maegan if you can!

You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu whether it's the meats or the seafood, everything is flavorful and high quality. I've tried other Korean BBQ spots, but nothing compares to Mr. BBQ. The atmosphere is lively, the music is loud, and it all adds to the experience. Honestly, you won't be disappointed.

The pork jowl and pork belly are DIVINE - clearly high quality. Workers hand us a sticker with specs about the preparation and aging process, which is oddly charming and shows how much pride they take in their meat. The staff even cooks everything for us, so we can sit back and stuff our faces. The sides are great too. Tangy pickled or fermented veggies, sweet pineapple, mushrooms, and soups help cut through all that richness from the fat. The pork and kimchi soup especially hits - it's super comforting and balances out the meal. This is also a great alternative if you're craving BBQ but don't have the stomach space for AYCE. These portions leave us full and satisfied every time. Overall, an amazing spot for a casual, pork-centric feast!

Despite the parking situation this Mokkoji location is small but well spaced out, We were seated in the center most area and still had ample space and the environment was inviting and very clean! The service was polite and very quick. They were busy and that didn't not keep them from bringing out food out in a timely manner. The food was fresh and delicious I really enjoyed my torro and the miso base soup, I also like the variety of additional sauce they provide without having to ask for them. Would definitely come here again. Only note I have is I wish they would have offered us the ice cream they had as a dessert option, i didn't even realize they had it till i saw others grab it! I'm sure it was probably on the menu but they took those promptly after we ordered. So would have been nice to have been told but just a note

Though this place is not Ayce and only offers two dipping sauces (goma - sesame sauce and ponzu), the meat quality is stellar and you can always ask for more veggies!

Service is always friendly and the place is so clean and well kept. I will definitely back
