    Call before you go, store always close early
    Gloria A.

    Don't have a chance to try their food yet because I drive all the way here and it is closed 1 hour early than the listed hours on front door! Call them before you go because they do not update hours on Yelp and they stated "store will close early when ingredients is "used up"......

    Pork belly/kimchee seaweed rice rolls(gimbap) - game changer
    Pat C.

    "Hidden gem", "hole in the wall", "mom n pop", you name it, it applies. This place has all the hallmarks of a really special, specialty (Korean take out/ lunch aka doshirak) joint: 1. You have to phone in the order before the lunch hour rush because they always run out. 2. It's a Korean joint that serves primarily Koreans. 3. Did I mention that they run out of goods to sell? Very reminiscent of the cream pan hype a decade back, the right move here is without a doubt the 'pork belly and kimchee kimbap' (its sushi roll Korean style minus the raw sea proteins). It's instant pork belly Korean BBQ in small bites. I can devour 2 sleeves of these, no problem. Pork belly kimchee rolls, you gotta get em here. 5 smelly stars.

    Kimbap
    My T.

    BEST KIMBAP!!! I am not Korean, however I love kimbap and this is what I would imagine a Korean mom's homemade kimbap would ideally taste like!! This shop randomly popped up on my list when I was searching for lunch in the Fullerton area, and I am so happy it did!! It is a small Korean shop with kimbap & lunch boxes for sale, along with frozen foods & miscellaneous snacks. I always call when I'm 10 minutes away so that it can be ready by the time I arrive. The Korean lady who is always there is so sweet & friendly. Last time, she gave me free peanut snack! I've tried the spam kimbap, fish cake kimbap, tuna kimbap, & fish sausage kimbap. The first 3 are definitely my favorite! They include: meat of choice, rice, seaweed, pickled radish, egg, organic carrot, organic sesame leaf, & sesame oil, and sometimes burdock. I think they run out of ingredients so they won't have the burdock sometimes. They usually run out of ingredients by 1pm & can't make any more food, so make sure to call ahead to check! There is one ingredient that I can't decide if I like or not, I believe it's the sesame leaf. It has a very interesting bitter-ih taste. Sometimes I like, sometimes I don't, so just a heads up haha if you try it and don't like, you can always take it out or ask her not to include next time. Each roll comes with 8-9ish pieces I think? Something like that haha. I always get 2 of the cheaper rolls for lunch, which add up to $9.50ish. Gets me super satisfied so both my tummy AND my wallet love me! :) REMINDER: MINIMUM $10 FOR CARD ($9 is close enough, she is very nice about it)

    Fish Sausage roll
    Trin N.

    Look for the heart shape finger signage in a small plaza right on Commonwealth Ave. I bought 4 rolls to try. (Avocado Veggie, Tuna, Fish Sausage and Burdock Veggie) You get about 7-8 yummy medallions per roll. All were delicious, but my fav was the Avocado Veggie. Prices are affordable too. All 4 rolls was $18! Sweet deal when prices everywhere is going up. Will return to try the other items. Come support this mom/pop shop and you won't be disappointed.

    Spicy squid n shrimp
    J'aime K.

    Came back again for dinner. They were nearly sold out at 7pm. I was able to get their white rice with spicy squid/shrimp n veggies (outstanding!). And also their tuna kimbap (very good, comfort food). On top of that she was kind enough to give me some banchan while I ate there (stir fried fish cake, buchoo kimchi and garlic stems - SO GOOD!). The service is always kind and generous. Will have to try to get there earlier. As I am already a huge fan of their spicy pork lunch bento box.

    · PROS · + Really good Korean food. I love the "doshirak" [bento box style] since you get so much variety. + The mapo tofu and the bulgogi doshirak was all very delicious. + Friendly staff · CONS · - Food takes time to make. I wanted to get two doshirak, but was told it would like 10-15 min. each. Make sure you call in advance. Because I did not want to wait, I got the mapo tofu instead, and this doesn't come with any side dishes.

    store sign is in big white Korean letters " " while the "Heartful Made" is in the top right corner in smaller letters
    Mia K.

    Grabbed some lunch at 8:30am to eat later of one bento and one kimbap. Overall a 4.5* for me and would love to preorder to try their other offerings, especially if picking up so early. Also sells some frozen products like rice cakes from Korea, seasoned crabs, boba ice cream etc. And some packaged products like porridge, dried snacks and more. Next time I will take the time to browse their many things. Bento: -Pork bulgogi bento: had the only premade kind at 8:30am which had 6 items of white rice, spicy pork bulgogi with carrots, onions & peppers 4.5*, chive & pepper pancake 5*, spicy seasoned fish cake 5*, sweet simmered beans 5*, radish kimchi 5*, rolled veg omelette 4* $10 4.5* KimBap Rice Roll: -Ham Kimbap: the only premade kimbap at 8:30am (but looks like you can order some of their other kimbaps to be made for you.) Generous size ham and egg but did wish for more veggies in there too. Nice the nori was still quite crispy at 8:30am. 4* Service: -cheerful, attentive 5* -place is clean and bright 5* Location 4.5* -northeast side of intersection of Beach & Commonwealth -middle store of strip mall -store sign is in big white Korean letters " " against a black background while the "Heartful Made" is in the corner and in smaller letters 4* Dining -a takeout place but does have a small table with 2 chairs outside 5*

We often had to get up and look for a server, which made things a bit inconvenient. That said, the food was definitely the highlight. The soy garlic chicken wings were really good flavorful and well-executed. The fries also stood out and were surprisingly one of our favorite items. The ambience is pretty chill, with enough space for everyone to have their own conversations without it feeling too crowded or loud. Overall, the food is worth trying, but just be prepared for slower service, especially during busier times.

The menu seems bit limited but it actually covers a wide variety of Korean food: boiling hot soups, cold noodles, something fried, and something with rice!

Are the servers nice? NO! Is the price decent? NO! Here's my reasoning: I used to bring my grandfather here because he loved their soup. If I didn't bring him I would buy the galbi tang and take it to him. And back then the service was amazing, the ajummas were so nice and would get you extra servings of banchan and brisket sauce but sadly throughout the years they've become very stingy and just plain out rude. I understand the cost of inflation and it's very real but I used to get their galbi tang for less than $10. At this rate it's costing me $27 for a bowl of soup and no extra gimme with not even a smile. Will I still be back? Yes but not like before. With the competition out here there are other places to go but I do keep coming back. Oh what's a girl to do. Will I recommend this place? That's a hard NO.
