    42. Beef Teriyaki Bowl NOT Recommended. Vegetable Homemade Soup
    Lynnann W.

    Got via Door Dash delivery. Food order was accurate but disappointing. The teriyaki flavor was nonexistent, beef was dry and not a quality cut, the avocado was sketchy/not fresh and the whole thing smelled slightly spoiled/unpleasant. It was inedible and not cheap. The Club sandwich presentation was nice. Bland, salty and the bread became mushy after first bite. Ended up just picking through the fillings. Onion rings are some non-descriptive frozen variety. Super disappointing.

    5. Tuna Salad Sandwich with Onion Rings
    Mike L.

    Found this little gem while in rheumatology neighborhood. We ordered the tuna salad on wheat with onion rings and turkey with cheese on sour dough with fries. The sandwich fillings were very generous and the breads were nice and fresh. Onion rings were crispy and so were the fries. Over all, a sandwich shop I will add to my rotation.

    What a great little cafe! I love trying all the local mom and pop type sandwich shops and haven't been compelled to write a review for many of them, but this one definitely deserves it! I found them on UberEats and decided to try them out. You can tell they take pride in their product and presentation. My tuna sandwich was delicious with a great crunch from the celery bits and the veggie wrap was fresh and tasty! What great value that they come with a pickle and your choice of a side salad, fries, or chips.

    By far the best bang for your buck in the area. I order something different each time I visit and it's always delicious. They serve made-to-order sandwiches, salads, and burgers. The food comes with a side salad, chips, fries, or sweet potato fries. The sandwiches are so big that I'm completely full after eating it so I save my side for later. There is always a steady flow of customers, and at times there is a line out the door. Regardless of how busy they get, it's never a long wait and the food is always quality. Everyone who works there is super nice. They have seating inside, with AC. They also have tables with umbrellas outside. It's located in the TriQuest corporate center off Barranca and Technology. Once you find it, you'll keep returning.

    Sp#2 Beef Bulgogi Rice - Friday special

    It's a small mama's and papa's cafe with various foods. Great customer service and very friendly. Food portions are definitely worth the price. I definitely recommend this cafe to friends and family.

    Veggie wrap with veggie soup
    Chris L.

    I love coming to this place for lunch. A lot of their sandwiches are good, and burger is tasty. My favorite menu item is their veggie wrap. The vegetables are very fresh, and tasty. The size of the wrap is very generous, and side can either come with chips, fries, soup or a salad. Parking is good. Seating is decent.

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.

(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.

Best decision of my late night misadventures in a long time! It was very filling (you could probably order one item and split it or have plenty of food for leftovers the next day), it's not inexpensive but it's great value (but then again $20 for a meal out is kind of going rate standard so maybe it is inexpensive or comparable to most anything else you could choose?), and it's great quality. The soup is a combo meal that comes with rice, glass noodles, fish cakes in sauce, and kimchi. You can also modify the spice level to make it more mild or spicy depending on your preference. I don't know why I am so obsessed with the soup but I'm going to think about it for a while because I was 100% lost in the sauce while eating it - after you get halfway you can put the rice, part of the kimchi, and (maybe) the fish cakes in the soup so it gets closer to porridge and break up some of the blood sausage to mix it throughout. Service is friendly and can recommend different things to eat. I got my order as takeout but the dining atmosphere is really good for how close each table is to one another. Everyone still has enough space to be on their own but because you're closer together it kind of feels communal.
