Came here after a late night movie and wanted to find a spot that was open late. I'm always craving Korean anju when it's late. First thing I noticed is that the workers were all ajumma(s). That's how you know this place is legit. The food came out pretty fast after ordering on the kiosk at the table. My group ordered the following items: Omelette Rice: This was okay to me too, but my boyfriend loved it! Corn Cheese: This was just like any ordinary corn cheese. Nothing special. Kimchi Fried Rice: I didn't try but the color was very red, which is a good sign that they used a lot of kimchi. OB Super Spicy Chicken with Cheese: This was super flavorful and came out smoking hot on the skillet. Warning, it is VERY SPICY! I had to chug so much water to relieve the spice but good thing it's the type of spicy where it doesn't linger too long. I didn't expect it to come with fries on top, so that was a nice surprise. read more

This place is very low key, drunchies, family style restaurant. Came here to try it out and overall okay, a bit pricey ending the meal at $70 for two people, I don't feel it was really worth the money but I can see it being more affordable and worth it for larger groups. FOODS: Korean BBQ beef Stone Pot - mostly rice, it was crispy and good but wish there was more meat Corn Cheese - very basic and bland, you can tell it's canned corn OB Chicken Wings - freshly made to order, was super crispy And probably the best dish DRINKS: Yogurt Soju - I mean it was yum lol read more

It's like a Korean pub here. Post Covid they're one of the few places that hasn't done crazy price hikes. The staff is friendly and the food is pretty authentic. My friends and family occasionally dine in but order take out regularly. I would 100% try the whole fried chicken and army stew. read more

10:00 PM on a Tuesday night this place was packed. Went with a friend that was visiting from NorCal after dinner and ordered soju, beer, and fries to snack on. Prices were pretty reasonable. As for the beer and food, the jugs for the beer came out super cold which caused the beer have a frosty texture, super refreshing! And the fries came out super nice and hot. Although we mainly ordered from the iPad on the table, the servers were very attentive and accommodating. One thing to note is that this place invites a more older more working class crowd and it's not like the other pochas around like missolkwan and soju belly where K-pop is played on the speakers with a noisy atmosphere. Overall: 9/10 read more

Great spot for shareable Korean bar food and drinking vibes. It's a little loud so I wouldn't recommend it for a chill hang out

Love this little gem here in Tustin, the only one after Baden Baden closed down about a decade ago. Ahhhh the memories there! Sooo since the costs of just about everything has gone up significantly, this is the closest & convenient Korean pub/bar I can get to since aside from journeying out to GG or LA. I seriously miss the good 'ol K-town LA bars/cafes. For those who remember I'm going way back to the 2000s. The ooooold school ones like Intercrew, 4A, DGM, Bohemian, Stone Age, Blink, NY NY, Greenbelt, Gaam, Nandarang & may more that I don't recall due to toooooo many blurred nights & old age now... My friends & I have thoroughly enjoyed my past visits here. Service has been great. Very friendly & courteous. Staff can speak either English or Korean. Ample amount of TV's inhabits within this joint. Great for small or big group. I have called to make reservation before for group bigger than 6 & they have been very accommodating. No time limit as how long u & buddies want to hang out there. Restoom is clean. OB serves pretty darn good Korean comfort bar/drinking food. The menu is pretty extensive! But the prices aren't that cheap here either. My favorite go to eats here are: fried chicken/wings, garlic fries, haemul pajeon, dubu kimchi, kimchi bokkeumbap & BBQ whole squid. There are more items here I have yet to get! But definitely for another k-drinking nite tho~ Gotta go for the original soju + whole lemon + sprite! IYKYK :D read more

Good place for a late night meal. The food was really good but they brought it out one by one instead of all together so we would finish a plate then be sitting around waiting for the next one. The food took a while to come out but if that means it was cooked fresh then I don't mind. The servers left you alone for the most part which I liked. read more

Great hang out after work for coworkers in the area! had the pleasure of working with a great group of people but its back to remote life so why not end it at my first Korean Gastropub at OB Square.I was very impressed. The restaurant has a modern and stylish interior, and the food was delicious. I started with the spicy korean chicken wings, which was crispy and juicy. After that we brought out the booze and shots and this is where the review will probably end because i dont remember a damn thing! great place overall! read more

I have to give this unique Korean restaurant a renewed review with solid four stars. We four went there with low expectations since the last review, but they have improved greatly since the Covid pandemic times. First of all the two ladies serving us was fast and efficient. The new electronic Tablet ordering system on our table worked beautifully, much better than having the ladies writing down on their pads! The food quality was outstanding. The Tong Dak-Korean Style Rotisserie Pan Fried Dry Whole Chicken was absolutely outstanding. The side dishes of coleslaw and pickled radish were also excellent. The kimchi was well made but you have to ask. The kimchi fried rice was very good. The spicy chicken wings were good. The best part of the meal was the "Seafood Pancake with Scallions!" called Pa Jeon (파전). The seafood pancake was the best thing ever! It was pan fried to perfection with mild crust and deep delicious delight. We loved it so much with mild soy sauce that came with it. For the restaurant catering to beer and soju drinking guys, the food came out mild and not too salty or spicy. I now love this place. Only reason for four stars (since I am very generous with my five stars for authentic restaurants) is that they need to be little more careful with decors, keeping the boxes of drinks stacked in the hallway to the bathrooms that just don't meet my higher hygiene standards. read more

3.5 stars for the food, 4 stars for the service. Great local spot featuring Korean bar food. The army stew was hearty and delicious, the corn cheese was hot and cheesy, and the tondak came super crispy (but a little dry). Service was friendly, fast, and helpful! read more

Roomy booth, wide selection of goodies, and they offer lots of appetizers and beer combo specials for large parties. There's good much and sports on tv if you need it. I believe there's karaoke rooms in the back available as well? 4/5: $5: lychee smoothie: super refreshing, but not dairy free, and a bit on the sweeter side. But this is a must try. 5/5: $12: Black Bean Noodle: refreshing, served cold, noodles were super long (love that it's not mushy nor broken), the mild black bean flavor pairs well with their wings. We were joking about how it looks like "vegan squid ink noodles" ha! 5/5: $20 OB Square Special Wings (9 pieces): dry rub, bold Sichuan pepper flavors, no sauce needed. Deep fried, but not oily, how do they do it? Yum. 4/5: $10 cheese corn: if you're craving cheese, this is the dish for you. I would have liked spice mixed in corn or offered on the side, but overall, solid dish. Next time, I wanna get their seafood pancake and other late night snacks! read more

I picked up some tong dak (whole fried chicken) for dinner tonight, and it was not tasty at all. Usually, my kids will devour the chicken, but they left half the chicken untouched. The chicken had a strange flavor like it was fried in really old oil or something, and the radishes had no flavor at all. The radishes were lacking that sweet/salty/sour umami flavor and literally tasted like it was sitting in plain water. My family and I been a regular at OB Square for over 6 years, even ordering takeout from here often during the pandemic, and it feels like the quality and flavors of their food have really gone down in the past few years. It's really unfortunate given that this is the only Korean pub in the Irvine/Tustin area. We might have to stick to The Source or even Garden Grove for Korean pub food. read more

Came here on Friday night and the place was very busy and lively. We got seated right away and the decor of the restaurant was very cute. We ordered the black bean noodle, army stew, fried chicken, and rice pot. The portions were huge and was able to feed a group of 4 guys. We loved the flavor of each dish and wished we had gotten more. Definitely would recommend this place and will be returning. read more

Love this place. Great food and service always have to get tteokbokki. Excited to try the karaoke rooms.

Delicious Korean bar food! Favorite thing was their chicken wings, the garlic wings were so good we got an extra order after we finished and used the extra sauce as dipping sauce for other food items. The tteokbokki and ramen and omelette pieces were solid as well!! read more

Whoaaaa what a blurrrrrrr!! My memories are as blurry as the photos I took, but from what I can recall we all had a blast. OB Square was our last stop for the night. If you are in the Tustin/Irvine area looking for a late night bite or dranks, this is one of the only spots that open a bit later. I came here with a group of 8... old friends, new friends... someone I thought I just met, but eventually recalled I had met previously a few times... Typical drunk Van. OB Square is a sooljip, a Korean gastropub. Definitely come here if you love those drunk munchies. Our group ordered a variety of munchies and shared. We had the Army Stew, Fried Chicken, Seafood Pancake, Gizzards, CORN CHEESE... and some other random dishes I can't recall. The ones I recall were all LEGIT. Surprisingly this is the first time I had the infamous Korean army stew and it was tastyyyyyy. You definitely need a large group to order this much variety. Basically everyone threw in suggestions for things they enjoy. Everyone knows I swear by the CORN CHEESE! Mhmmmm :) That cheese pull is so sexy and tasty. Oh yeah and if it wasn't already implied, we also got a fewwwwww bottles of beers and sojus. Thank goodness I had no face to face work meetings the next day because I could feel myself sweating out the Soju. Nevertheless, the joys definitely outweighed the consequences. Service was great. The ladies working here were super nice and sweet. Overall, probably one of the chillest nights I had in a long time... and very much like my pre-pandemic lifestyle. I'll be back soon!! read more

A nice little gem in Tustin and a solid 5 star experience! All five items we ordered are good and easily exceeded my expectation. Kim Chi fried rice - super good. I like the idea they put an egg on top and you can mix it with the fried rice while it's hot! Garlic chicken wings - crispy and nicely flavored. Seafood pancake - nice chewy texture and contains veggies, shrimp, and octopus Cream corn with cheese - very sweet corn with a solid layer of cheese on top, goes very well with kimchi fried rice Black bean noodle - good The waitresses were friendly and attentive. Took the time to check in and refilled water periodically. Both outdoor and indoor seating are available. As far as the surrounding, the strip mall is overdue for a facelift and lighting in the parking lot is not great. Exercise a bit of caution if it's late night. read more

Solid place for Korean bar food. The fried chicken was good! Slow service though. I love the bar area and may try it in the future.

This place is really tasty! We came around 8PM on a Friday night and there wasn't any wait. Their BBQ pork belly was absolutely delicious (I could drink their sauce) and their Korean fried chicken was really good too! A little bit on the expensive side, but would be a fun place with a group to get a few late night drinks. read more

The food was very delicious. I'm not sure why the price was a surprise to some. It's like Irvine price anyway. Really liked everything we ordered. My dining companion didn't like the corn as much but I really liked it, less sweet than other places. Seafood pancake was very filling and had a lot of stuff in it. Worth the $$. OB wings were great! Highly recommend it. It's not that spicy and it's salt & pepper flavored. Super crispy! I don't like saucy wings so they were perfect for me. Service was great only a couple of them serving the whole place so please to patient if you know it's a busy time. My only complaint was there were two other tables around us - these folks think they were in their own living room or they must have forgotten to use inside voice. My ears hurt so much. A couple of tables either asked to be moved or just left thanks to these people. read more

OB square is a korean pub/restaurant that also has karaoke rooms in the back which I find very interesting. The restaurant was filled with ahjussis drinking and drunk college students but had a weird odor as soon as you stepped foot into the store. We got spicy pork kimchi stirfried with tofu and it was the perfect drinking snack! Not too greasy or heavy but I wish it had more meat for $25. The service was amazing though, everyone was super attentive, the food came out fast, and the ladies made friendly small talk. read more

A friend of mine and I were craving late night Korean food. Thanks to Yelp, we landed at OB Square in Tustin, CA. What a secret gem! We checked this place out on September 23, 2022. OB Square is a Korean/Chinese bar. The vibe is very chill... definitely a place to hangout, grab a beer and relax! What I love most about this place is the food!! Some of their most popular dishes are Kim Chi fried rice, Korean Chicken Wings, Korean Army Stew, Corn Cheese, and other classic Korean dishes. They also have Sweet & Sour Pork, and Garlic shrimp and wide selection of beers, sakes, and sojus as well as fresh smoothies. One of my fav dishes is "JaJang Myun" which is basically a Korean/Chinese inspired Black Bean noodles. Of course, we ordered the JaJang Myun, Kim Chi fried rice and spicy dukk (rice cake). Everything was sooo good! It reminds me of "home-cooked" Korean dishes. The portions are pretty large. We didn't finish our dishes. The service is def above par for most Korean/Asian restaurants. If you're looking for a fun place to hangout with friends over delicious Korean food and drinks, definitely check out OB Square! read more

We've gotten takeout from OB Square several times now, during the pandemic, and I've got to say this is a rather under-promoted style of Korean cuisine. (Korean bar food) You really can't go wrong with their food. For the wings, we've only ever had eyes for the OB wings which is deep fried wings tossed in green onions and peppers. Yum! Other favorites: Stir fried pork belly (not to be mistaken for the pork belly with kimchi which I haven't tried), soondae (blood sausage) platter, pigs feet salad, omelet roll, corn cheese...yumm.... Bonus points for having an online ordering system so that you minimize your wait when doing takeout. Obviously, this place has been a repeat for us and we can't wait to go back and dine there when things are safe. Cheers! read more

Visited later in the evening on a Wednesday night. Service was quick and staff were attentive and friendly. I noticed they also had a private karaoke room, however it's right next to some of the seating which isn't the greatest since you can hear people screaming and singing mid meal. For food we order the seafood pancake, korean spicy wings, kimchew stew and a few other dishes. The food was ok, nothing spectacular. However, I'm not always a left over person and what I did take home to eat, tasted like it had more flavor the next day lol. read more

We were seated fairly quick. The ambiance could use some revamping since it looks a little dated and dark but overall the service was great. Music was nice to listen to as well. Waitresses were not as attentive to pop on by to see how we are doing. It was pretty cold indoors. Maybe it was the section of the restaurant we were seated in but the ac unit would blow directly onto the opposite wall and cool air would hit us. With it being winter and night time, it was hard to enjoy the food being cold from the blasting ac. read more

Service is amazing!! Lovely small place beer was great! Coming back sometime soon!! Would recommend

Very friendly and provided great service to our family! Will definitely be coming back.

My friend introduced us to this place!! SOOO FUN! Laidback, delicious food and yogurt soju!!! All for great prices and KARAOKE!!! Not to mention the attentive service. Five star experience all around!! read more

First time here. Had nice vibes/ambience. The food was good. If you have low tolerance for spice, the fried rice is quite spicy. But other than that, the garlic wings were good, the spicy pork (which wasn't too spicy actually), and the gizzard as well. read more

Very happy that I tried OB Square. Their kimchi fried rice is 10/10. We also ordered fried chicken with cheese and that was SO GOOD. The spicy sauce was simply delicious and we loved the addition of tteokbokki to it. Friends ordered the shrimp egg rolls and scarfed them down. The service is prompt and everyone is so attentive. The ambiance is very casual. A good place to hang out with friends. They also have yogurt soju cocktails and decent collection of soju. read more

Good place to come for Korean comfort food. We came late Friday night, and there were lots of people many beers and soju in. The music was a bit too loud and we had to shout to hear each other, that was the only down side. :( We wanted fried chicken and army stew, and wanted to get their combos. The combo saves you money if you wanted to order alcohol. Beware though, the "whole fried chicken" literally means a small chicken split in half, fried. I would recommend getting the fried chicken wings instead. We absolutely loved the OB house original flavored chicken wings! The army stew and spicy teobokki were just a tad too spicy for me :( read more

Great Korean/Asian restaurant & gastropub. We tried their chicken wings and popcorn chicken (wasn't able to take a photo of the wings). Service was great and the server we had was friendly and warm. Food came out hot, fresh, and delicious. Would come back again next time and recommend this place. Just a side note that it's a gastropub so some groups around us were very loud, probably drinking too. (At one point it was hard to talk and hear each other cos one other group was SO loud.) Still a great place to eat though!! read more
