The highlight is definitely the hot pot in the center--thinly sliced meat arranged beautifully around. Paired with a cold glass of beer, the whole meal gives off a relaxed, late-night dining vibe--great for unwinding or catching up with friends. read more

INS Ice Beer - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

Korea's viral INS Ice Beer is finally in Orange County The exterior looks like a traditional Korean house, and the interior is even cooler with a pond flowing through the restaurant such a fun vibe for photos and late-night hangouts. Friednly great services:) We tried the Beef Sukiyaki, Buldak Chicken, Corn Cheese, Cup Ramen Fried Rice, and Bulgogi Pizza. My favorites were the creamy corn cheese, crispy bulgogi pizza, and super cold signature Ice Beer. Definitely worth checking out with friends! read more

the food here is so yummy! the corn cheese is definitely a standout and i'll get when i come back, it has a nice cheese pull. the curry tteokbokki was also really good and the curry flavor is so unique and nothing that i've ever tried. the braised chicken was tasty and a good option if you didn't want to eat fried chicken. the strawberry makgeolli was so yummy and a light alcoholic drink to share with friends! parking was at the structure at the Source and we had no issues finding parking. you order your food through a tablet and ask for the bill that way as well. read more

Food was okay. I liked the ice cold beer they serve. The service wasn't that great. Had to wave down the staff to get service lol. Had a party of 6. the seating was awful and uncomfortable. We ordered the sukiyaki beef hot pot, boneless chicken nuggets, spicy rice cake. You can't order additional meat for the hot pot. Have to pay for another full hot pot order. Overall. So so experience. read more

Came out here on a random Saturday. This place is now the place to go for Korean bar food. Lively atmosphere situated in the Source outdoor mall in Buena Park. If you want to great umami bomb food with refreshing alcohol this is your place. Taking Asian fusion and fusion it up more. You order at your table with a digital menu. Their black bean noodle with egg is the umami bomb with spice. Their cup noodle fried rice is a must tool Their fried chicken is crisp and juicy at the same time. We had the mixed fries comb it plays with your texture buds. Also ordered the bulgogi pastry pizza that comes with a kewpie like mayo sauce. It is blasphemous and sinfully good puff pastry with powdered sugar rim and cheese. Literally a flavor circus in your mouth. Finally washed it down their fish cake soup. Their signature beer is ice beer and we had it with shot of soju. The ai suggested matcha makkeoli and it is worth it. Will go back to try other dishes and for sure strawberry makkeoli. read more

Decided to try this spot after a friend sent me videos on social media. I was intrigued by their ice beer, and it was easily the best thing we ordered. Each beer was ice cold with a frothy top. It tasted the best when it first came out. For food, we ordered the kimchi pancake 5/5 and spicy chicken and noodles dish 4/5. The kimchi pancake had a crispy outer layer and was very flavorful. The chicken and noodles dish was good but nothing special. I was surprised since this is the dish they advertise the most in their videos too. Service was fast and efficient since you place your order on an iPad. Interior was clean and modern. Overall, I still like Misoolkwan more for their vibes and food. read more

I finally came to try the famous ice beer! For anju, we ordered the beef sukiyaki, tteokbokki, kimchi pancake, and assorted fries. Everything was tasty, satisfying, and great for sharing between sips. Im more health conscious and try to limit MSG prepped food, but boy oh boy, it was so flavorful and bomb. My only question is, am I the only one who wanted more slush in the ice beer? Otherwise, it was a good experience with pretty good an-ju and a fun drink concept. I would definitely come back. read more

INS Ice Beer - Cheers!!! - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

Located on the first floor of The Source, this spot has such a fun atmosphere and vibe inside. I really love the ambiance--it gives off a Korea pocha (Korean pub) feel, and it's honestly the kind of place where you can sit and hang out for hours. It does get crowded pretty quickly, especially during busy hours, so be prepared for a wait. Their drinks and food were good overall! Nothing super unique or groundbreaking, but still enjoyable and a great place to relax with friends. read more

Came on a Saturday evening and it was busy! We waited about an hour to be seated. Once seated, you can order through a tablet. We ordered: Strawberry maekgeolli: came with such a big portion, definitely a sharing drink. It tasted like melted strawberry ice cream, I couldn't tasted the alcohol at all Tteokbokki in creamy Curry: rice cake had a good chewy texture & curry flavor is strong with slight kick. Also came with fish cake and a jelly like noodle Beef Sukiyaki: sweet clean broth flavor, beef was also very tender but wish it came with more beef Soy garlic chicken chicken: it was a dark meat so it was so juicy and tender and also had a yummy sweet soy flavor. Loved the fries as well, it was very crunchy read more

Wait time: Their wait list is write in only. There's no yelp waitlist signup available. Most recommended is to wait outside to hear your party name being called. If all of your party members are not here, they do not seat you in and I think they also cross off your party on the list. That means you'll have to sign up again to hear your party name being called. They also mark your name off the list if you do not acknowledge being present. Every table is given a complimentary Korean macaroni fried snack. INS ice beer with soju shot: Topped with frothy cold beer and soju foam and wrapped in a frosty mug. The epitome of refreshing beer on a summer day. So worth it. Matcha Makgeolli: Honestly just taste like matcha latte, which is honestly really dangerous because you won't notice the difference when you drink so much. Ham and cheese pancake: It's a huge pancake, so worth getting. The sides and the bottom are so crisp. Not a heavy dish if you share with a group of 3 + people. With a side veggie dish of cabbage drizzled with ketchup and mayonnaise. read more

Beer was so good and cold it was really enjoyable. Big portions great for sharing with friends. We got the soy garlic chicken with fries and the curry rice cakes where solid had a bunch of fish cakes and other types of noodles in there . Service was friendly we ordered everything on the iPad. Spacious great place to hang out with friends or watch a game . read more

SO GOOD, this place is the best for any large groups! My favorite spot for beer and snacks with friends! Their iconic INS ice beer is beautiful the icy glass and the foam on top, idk if it's a placebo effect but I swear beer just tastes better here. We also tried the matcha makgeoli which is great to order if anyone at your table is more into cocktails than beer! It was on the sweeter side so if you enjoy a sweet matcha cocktail you will like it! They also serve different sojus both flavored and unflavored! We tried plentyyy of their food this time around: curry tteoboki, wings, bulgogi pizza, pancake and ALL of it was delicious! The curry tteoboki was not too spicy and had a yummy flavor, the tteok was cooked perfectly chewy. The bulgogi pizza was TO DIE FOR the puff pastry crust combined with the bulgogi was a hit at our table! The wings were also SO GOOD the plate was HUGE and came with fries and a salad. The pancake was pretty standard still good but not as wow as the other items we tried! Service was quite slow but they were also really busy when we came so makes sense. We probably waited around 20+ minutes for our food dishes after ordering them which didn't feel as long with good company but would definitely recommend to know what you want and order as soon as you sit down! Drinks did come out faster though! It really does feel like a little transport to Korea when you step in! They have some hanok style elements in the decor which is pretty cool! They also appear to have a photo area near the front! Located in The Source in Buena Park there is plentiful parking making it an easy spot to meetup with large groups! It can be a little difficult to find since it's in a giant mall/shopping center but just head towards the street corner and you'll eventually find it! I would recommend to come earlier if possible to avoid a long wait since tables do fill up and groups tend to stay awhile while they enjoy drinking and eating together! Will definitely be coming here again! read more

Came here on a Thursday night with a friend, the World Cup was on so there was a little bit of a wait around 8pm. We waited about 30 mins. You order off the tablet and there's no notifications on anything. We ordered the chicken soy garlic and it came with really good season fries but you can't order just the fries (we wanted to order extra) the chicken were large battered chunks, I wish they were wings and drumsticks. It was heavily battered. The ice cold beers with a little frosty beer top was sooo refreshing! I can't wait to come back and take my boyfriend read more

After seeing all the buzz about this place on social media, I knew I had to check it out for myself. They're known for their ice-cold beers and unique take on Asian fusion dishes with strong Korean influences. Honestly, I wanted to order everything: the Beef Sukiyaki, Mexican Bulgogi Pizza, Corn Cheese Kimchi Fried Rice, Crispy Potato Pancake--the list can go on and on. After much deliberation, I settled on the Beef Sukiyaki and the Fen Hao Zi Noodles GCO Dak (Chicken). I enjoyed both dishes equally. The Beef Sukiyaki featured thinly sliced, marbled beef simmered in a sweet and soy-based broth. The Fen Hao Zi Noodles GCO Dak has thick, chewy Chinese potato starch noodles and chicken tossed in a spicy sauce. The noodles had that signature bouncy, springy texture that made every bite incredibly fun and satisfying, while the chicken soaked up all the sauce's flavor. Both dishes were outstanding in their own way, and if I had to do it all over again, I'd order them both without hesitation. This visit only scratched the surface of what they have to offer. With so many dishes still on my must-try list, I can't wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu! read more

Finally gave this place a try and the wait was insane! Honestly, this place is a little overhyped. The ice cold beers are cool yes, but the food is meh. It didn't really impress me especially with the long wait. The soy garlic chicken and spicy rice cakes (spicy!) were really good however! I was most excited to try the sukiyaki beef since the concept was interesting to me, but the meat was very tough to chew and it was average in flavor. The corn cheese was very creamy (almost soupy) and was a nice touch, but I wouldn't come here just for that. The bulgolgi pizza was too sweet and the puff pastry was just a strange combination for me. Overall, I feel like this place is overhyped and I would rather go Misoolkwan instead. read more

Located in The Source, INS Ice Beer is the scene for a replication of authentic styled bars in Korea. Parking is through the parking structure next to The Source, but if you're coming later in the evening, it shouldn't be a problem.its located in the corner of the plaza. We walked in and were immediately confused. It was loud with KPOP blasting in the background. A server asked us for how many, and when we showed two fingers, he walked away. We assumed to follow him, but then he shook us head no and said to wait. After a few seconds, the manager came up to seat us after asking for how many. We were seated in the corner of the place and were explained on how to use the iPad and where our utensils were. The manager was a very kind man and he wore a white shirt, while the servers were in all black. We ordered their soy chicken platter and two ice, cold beers. The beers were the best beers ever! The temperature of the glass really made it smooth. It was delicious. Their chicken was okay; too saucy for my liking. It came with fries and a cabbage salad that had ketchup and mayo on top. I actually really like their side chips that are for snacking and drinking. It was crunchy and tasty. When we finished our time and were ready to go, we clicked the call button on the iPad and asked for the check. A girl gave us our check and left. When I called for her to ask where we pay, she didn't answer me. I had called for her multiple times. It got to a point that we just walked our check up to the front and the guy was laughing at her. The three stars is for very unclear directions on the role of the servers. We spent most of our time trying to figure out who to talk to and how to pay. We ended up leaving our chicken because we didn't get a to go box. The servers were also no where to be found. I understand the iPads are for seamless service and no need for communication with people, but to have difficulty paying is different. I'd come back for the beers and snacks. Just expecting to not be served properly. read more

Went to try the viral Ice beer, and it was so refreshing. You order everything on a iPad at your table. The beef sukiyaki was perfect.

Located at The Source mall plaza on the first floor. Luckily I came when it opened, it filled up quick and couldve had a long wait. It's known for their ice beer, get it ! From what I heard, Pro Tip: let it sit for 1-2 mins for the mug to defrost before you drink it so it could get a bit slushy. It was refreshing and delicious! Even if you chug it immediately, still very good regardless. They aren't able to share which beer they used, but it's on draft. Oh and they provide some sort of bar snacks right when u sit down, perfect to much with some drinks. We also ordered the sukiyaki hot pot. It was actually a decent portion with good hot soup in the middle. Their fried chicken looks delicious too, I'll try it next time! read more

Really great spot to hang out and grab drinks with friends. The ice beer is excellent, and they offer several flavors of makgeolli. We tried the strawberry makgeolli which was delicious. For food, we ordered the army stew, but it was a little too spicy for my taste. While there's a decent variety of food options, I do wish the menu had a few more items to choose from. The servers were friendly and attentive; they noticed when we finish our ice beers and immediately asked if we wanted another round. The space is large and comfortable, but it's a popular spot, so be prepared for a wait during busy times. Overall, a fun place for drinks and good company. read more

New Korean Pub at The Source! Expect a little wait. Servers were helpful despite it being busy. Food is a hit or miss. * Ice Beer - interesting, worth trying! Slushy frosty beer perfect for the summer. Have to drink ASAP, melts quick. * Cheese Corn Gratin - BEST cheese corn in SOCAL so far! Don't miss out on this one! Cheese not too sharp, very creamy, milky, stringy! Perfect! * Ramen Fried Rice 5/5 - I thought it was just aestheically pleasing but TASTE wise! It's unique, never tried anything like this. The umami flavor and you can't eat it by itself without a viand! I wanna try it at home!! * Beef Sukiyaki - tender, the sukiyaki dipping sauce was a good balance to all the veggies. I don't really eat bean sprouts but this one was good!!! * We ordered 3 different chicken with fries, hit or miss! We ordered one that was undercooked, and the other had too much cheese powder but it worked out well on the fries! * VIRAL MATCHA MAEKGEOLLI was good to try, tasted like alcohol milk tea! But we preferred the strawberry one. * Potato pancake was ok! Nice place, played old KPop hits, have projectors and lights. Great place to hangout with friends! read more

New-ish pocha in OC! The food here was decent, but honestly nothing was outstanding. Some of my favorites were the sukiyaki and chicken. The service here was just okay though, I felt that they weren't super attentive. Also the restaurant itself is a bit on the smaller side. The tables are pretty small -- it felt like we had no room to eat with all of the food on the table. I'm glad I tried this place once, but i would probably go to misoolkwan instead if I'm looking to go to a pocha. read more

Very disappointed. I rarely leave Yelp reviews, but this time I had to. The honey cheese chicken was unbearably salty and overloaded with cheese powder. We politely told the waiter, but nothing was done. No apology, no attempt to fix it. We left almost the entire meal untouched because it was impossible to eat. Such a waste of money and a really disappointing experience. read more

Ive been to several pochas in OC and I saw INS on tik tok so I was excited to try this place but unfortunately was underwhelmed. The wait was around an hour. The frozen beer was good but its honestly just a frozen beer cup with room temperature beer in it. The food was okay we got the army stew and seasame chicken with fries. The army stew was super salty so we had to put water in it in order to mild out the taste. Overall the experience was okay and I dont know if its worth the wait. read more

Visited this new pocha at The Source, known for its signature ice beer. It's the first U.S. location of this popular Korean pub chain. We came around 7 pm on Saturday and the wait was surprisingly short. The space is roomy with a modern, lively vibe. For three people, we ordered the beef sukiyaki, soy garlic chicken, ice beer, and soju. The soy garlic chicken was the standout - crispy, flavorful, generously portioned, and perfect with the ice beer. The beef sukiyaki was savory, though the broth leaned a bit sweet. Overall, a great spot for casual drinks and sharing food with friends. Everything was satisfying without feeling too heavy, and I'd definitely come back with a bigger group. read more

cool spot at the Source! we've been wanting to try this hyped pocha for a while and glad we finally were able to stop by. the ice beer is insanely cold and really as refreshing as it sounds. but i dont think we got the right food here, the pancake was mushy and the chicken was interesting. i enjoyed the flavor but definitely was thrown off by the cabbage with ketchup. the other dishes like sukiyaki and braised chicken looked good but we weren't that hungry. it was definitely pretty loud and they only played the same type of clubby house music which we didnt really enjoy lol but still a very hype and cool spot to hang out at. easy to order food/drinks via tablet and the wait for 4 people on a late Saturday night wasnt too bad (~15 min) read more

Haven't stopped thinking about the Ice Beer since I tried it!!! The amount of people waiting to be seated before us intimidated me, but we were seated within 1.5 hours! Our table got the Spicy Egg Drop Soup, Boobmoja Spicy Chicken, Corn Cheese Gratin, and Beef Sukiyaki to share. I really can't remember which one was so spicy that we ended up using the ice beer as a great refreshment LOL My favorite was definitely the spicy chicken, and I have a feeling that was the spicy culprit. The beef from the sukiyaki portion was smaller than my group would like, so definitely keep in mind so you can order something else to offset that. Service was quick and food came out almost right away! It's a great alternative to Misoolkwan if you want to try it out :) read more

In's Ice Beer was an amazing time! We ordered the fried chicken, bacon cheese & potato pancake, beef sukiyaki, cup ramen fried rice, and ice somaek -- and honestly everything was delicious. A few standouts: the cup ramen fried rice was such a unique concept -- light spice and a subtle crunch from the noodles that made it really fun to eat. The beef sukiyaki was another one -- cool concept and the meat quality was really good. And the fried chicken was boneless, light, and perfectly crunchy. Portions are generous and the price point is very reasonable for what you get. The interior is really warm and aesthetic -- cool vibe all around. Staff was attentive. There can be a wait so plan accordingly. Can't wait to come back!! read more

I was so excited to try this place because it was the new hot korean pub in the area. We ordered the fried chicken, beer, and fries. The beer was the only thing I thought was good. The fried chicken and fries were a let down. The cheesy fries were so saucy but wish I just got the original. The sauce was not good. The chicken was a bit too dry in my opinion.

I came here because I heard this famous Korean franchise finally opened in Buena Park. It's located on the first floor of The Source mall, so parking is easy and there's plenty of space. The restaurant itself is also large with lots of seating. The iced cold beer was especially good. The mug was served ice-cold with a light frozen layer at the top, which made the beer extra refreshing. The prices are reasonable, the food comes out quickly, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Overall, the food was very enjoyable. The Boonmoja Spicy Chicken had a nice kick, and the noodles were pleasantly chewy with a flavor that felt unique compared to other places in Buena Park. The beef sukiyaki was also impressive. The presentation was well done, and it comes with a burner at the table so you can continue cooking it while eating, which made the experience even better. I was very satisfied with my visit and will definitely come back again. read more

Love love love the ambiance and decor of this place! The inside is so spacious and each table gets tablet where you can place your order of food and drinks. At the end, you'll pay in the front, just need to know your table number. They also have to-go containers! Service was face and the waiters were nice. Strawberry Makgeoli: 10/10 As someone who does not like the taste of alcohol, the strawberry makgeoli was really good. It was like a strawberry yogurt slush mixed with alcohol, really sweet. And a good combination to have with our food that was on the spicier side. Spicy chicken with big noodles: 8/10 Did not honestly expect it to be spicy (as someone who enjoys spicy foods). I would not say it's on the same level as buldak, but it complimented the dish and the big noodles well! The noodles was so chewy --- it was my first time having it and the dish. Tteokbokki with ramen: 7.5/10 It was yummy. The sauce is on the thicker side but I enjoyed the flavor of it. Pork belly kimchi jiggae: 5/10 It was good when it first came out. Comes out on a pan and is placed on a burner butane stove but by the time we finished eating, and the soup had boiled to the point where there wasn't soup left, it got really really salty. Overall it was a nice cute spot at the source and it was a good place to be with friends! I'd love to come back and try their matcha makgeoli! read more

my friend and i put ourselves on the waitlist at around 9:45 pm on a friday night. several larger groups who arrived after us were called much sooner than us, and we ended up waiting over half an hour to be seated. it seems like this place doesn't have enough variety of seating and is only suited for large groups, which normally would be more difficult to seat anywhere else. it's also insanely loud inside with the music blasting, so it's hard to have a conversation with someone. chi chi in k town la has a much better balance with their atmosphere. soju was $13/bottle, beer in the frosted glass was $8/glass. we ordered corn cheese which was oddly sweet and not really cheesy at all, save for a single piece of slice of sliced cheese on top. the temperature of the food wasn't hot at all, maybe lukewarm at best. because of that, we didn't order any additional food because we didn't want to risk buying something only for it to turn out below average. i would only return with a larger group, and for drinks only. read more

We were seated right away on a Tuesday night at one of the middle tables and ordered the chicken rice cake, tofu skin udon, bacon cheese pancake, and three draft beers through the tablet. The beers took a bit longer than expected- about 10 minutes passed before we flagged down a server to remind them, but once they arrived, they were cold, refreshing, and delicious. We had to flag another server for water, and noticed other tables were given crackers while we never received any. The rice cake and tofu skin udon were much spicier than expected. The bacon cheese pancake was nothing special. The salad ended up being the best dish of the night. They also did not have air conditioning, and I noticed people stepping outside for some air. read more
