    Today, I stopped by Costco in Fullerton to fill up my car with gas, and then I went to Mindeulle Restaurant. I had heard that the food there is excellent, especially the braised black cod, so I decided to order it to go and have it for dinner. After I went inside, I looked over the menu for a while and thought about what I should order. In the end, I stuck with my original plan and ordered the braised black cod. It comes with two servings of rice, and I chose multigrain rice for both. After placing my order, I didn't have to wait very long. My to-go order was ready almost immediately. Even though I arrived a little after the lunch rush, the restaurant was still quite busy. As I walked to the restroom, I saw the dishes other customers were eating, and every single one looked delicious. I took my food home and had the braised black cod for dinner, and it was absolutely delicious. The kimchi and all of the side dishes were also incredibly good. The next time I'm in the Orange County area, I will definitely come back. I'd love to try many of their other menu items. There were two older ladies working as servers, and they were both very friendly.

    One of the best authentic Korean restaurants I've ever had. No explanation needed, just go and order the BRAISED BLACK COD. Honestly, it was even better than the one I had in Korea. I already cannot wait to go back and get it again because it was that delicious. There is parking in the back of the building. The place is quite small, so if you go during peak hours, you will most likely have to wait. I also noticed a lot of people doing takeout orders. Definitely one of the best meals I've had!

    The food here is very good and serves different dishes than the typical Americanized Korean restaurant. I love their seafood pancake and the side dishes are slightly different than what I'm used to but all very good. Unfortunately, the waitresses made the experience unpleasant. We finished all our food and even gave them a higher tip as thanks for serving a bigger group. I'm pretty sure it's because we aren't Korean. I said thank you to one waitress and she stared at me, unsmiling, then looked away without a word. My entire family noticed all the waitresses had stinky expressions and didn't even bother to say anything to us when we left, it felt like we were a nuisance to them.

    This is a tiny "hole-in-the-wall" Korean restaurant -- and it's fantastic! We were 2 couples and these 2 large dishes were enough for all of us plus enough to take home for lunch the next day for 1. I love bossam (steamed pork belly) and I've tried a lot of places. This place could be the best. I didn't know how they get it so tender, but the meat almost falls apart as you touch it. Amazing! The black cod stew is also the best I've had. The broth is perfect -- rich and spicy, but not overwhelming, so you can stuff taste the fish. And they are generous with the fish. I didn't know how many pieces there were ... But plenty for all 4 of us. Seating is limited. I highly recommend!

    I tried the steamed monkfish (agu-jjim), and it was so good! The fish was really fresh, meaty, and savory. The portion was huge perfect for three people. We couldn't even finish it and had to take the leftovers home, which was a nice. The staff was really friendly and made us feel welcome the whole time. Overall, I had a great experience, and I'd definitely come back. If you're craving authentic Korean soul food, I definitely recommend checking out Mindeulle

    Braised Cod
    Hellen N.

    I was recommended here by a friend and fell in love with the braised fish. I came every so often to get their braised fish and trying other dishes on the menu - cold noodles, seafood pancake, and more. This place is always full of Korean families, so I know the food is authentic. The service is fast and efficient. The Korean aunties servers always make sure to cut up and split the food for you. The vibe is so friendly, it always feels like I'm over at my friend's house dining here. As for the food, everything always tastes delicious! All the side dishes are yummy and pair well with the main dishes. My must-order is the braised cod. It's full of fish with tofu and radish that has been braised in a delicious spicy sauce. The seafood pancake was crispy, and would definitely be better with more seafood. The cold noodle was refreshing, but I think it didn't pair well with the braised fish as it would with grilled galbi. Overall, I highly recommend their braised fish dishes!

    very small hole in the wall restaurant. love the service and the food, which is very delicious down to the side dishes! kalguksu is very filling and hearty. i love how large the portion is. i was only able to eat half and had to take the rest to go

    It was really savory and healthy.

    Def will come here again. I really enjoyed the korean food here. Their banchan was fresh and yummy. It is a bit pricey but I can see why. The quality is great. I usually would drive bsck to ktown in LA but not anymore. Their stinky soybean is sooo good and hearty. If you have elderly grandparents or parents, give this place a chance. More parking in the back. Service is so nice feel like home. Small hole in thr wall.

    I always come here with family for Korean comfort food! They have the best menu and atmosphere. It has a hole-in-the-wall type of feel, but it's very cute and cozy. I usually order the 들깨 수제비 because it's unbeatable in terms of flavor. My mum ordered the 곤드레밥, and the presentation for everything is always on point. The side dishes are obviously refillable, so don't be afraid to ask for more. This is my favorite Korean restaurant in the area, and I wish there were more like this!

    This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / April 8, 2023

    A few weeks ago I saw one table outside that had a clipboard for writing down your name for the waitlist. People were sitting there before being called inside. This establishment isn't big and isn't good for large groups. Most tables seat 4.

I was quoted 20 minutes, and got seated within that quoted time frame. The restaurant is brightly lit with robot servers circling the floor. I ordered on an iPad at my table. I picked the combo meal with beef bulgogi and a seafood soft tofu soup. The banchan came out first and it was so delicious. There was kimchi, potato salad, bean sprouts, anchovy, kimchi cucumber and fishcake. When the entrees arrived, it was sizzling hot. The bulgogi was on a hot plate and the soft tofu soup was steaming. I nibbled a bit on the bulgogi and sipped on the seafood soft tofu soup. The meal was hearty and filling. The soup was not skimpy at all. Tons of seafood and tofu inside. And the bulgogi was soft and marinated well. I like how Kaju Soft Tofu has non-spicy food options. I was worried because most Korean places have spicy items, but at least there's alternatives for me to eat here.

We had no wait and the service was quick throughout our whole meal! We ordered a steaming galbi dish, cold noodles, katsu, and a couple side dishes! I particularly enjoyed trying the different Korean flavors and seasonings. The cold noodles were my favorite and was perfect for a hot summer day! Everything we ordered was good and made for a clean, balanced palette. I will definitely come here again the next time I am craving a more traditional style Korean meal! However, I should mention that we saw a couple of bugs around--spiders and flies--not too much to the point where it was gross or concerning, but just something to note if you are a clean freak. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this place if you want to branch out and try Korean food or just want a nice lunch/dinner place with friends or family!
