Wait…read moretypically isn't too long and although it seems like they tend to be understaffed, you can tell the workers are working hard to accommodate all the customers. They start off by giving us cups with a jug of water and thermos that has broth from gomtang inside. The menu is pretty extensive a good variety of cold and hot soups and entrees. After you order, they give you a variety of sides to complement the meal which is great to snack on while waiting for the meal. If you have a bigger group, the kalbijjim is perfect to share as it is huge and comes with a lot of braised short rib, veggies, and noodles that have soaked up the sauce. The short rib is so tender and is very rich in flavor. The naengmyeon is cool and refreshing especially on a hot day. The seolleongtang is warm and soothing with salt to adjust to your liking and the purple rice to soak up the depth of the soup broth.

This ended up being a great spot for Korean comfort food…read more I had the Yukgaejang Mandu (#20), which was great! A nice thick and savory stew of shredded beef and vegetables, which had some heat, yet not overwhelmingly spicy. There was also a dumpling that added some additional heartiness. The banchan was also a good way to start the meal...I left very satisfied. The place is decorated in a simple and casual manner, so the focus is really the food. The service was attentive.

Nice set up - super convenient.

My only two complaints: this is a Korean restaurant, so the kimchi served for banchan should be decent, but it was bland. And second- we ordered shrimp and they were not cleaned and deveined. I would rather not eat shrimp waste. That is not a vein, it's the digestive tract of the shrimp. I know it's labor intensive to remove, but I do it all the time, and I even leave the shells intact to preserve the moisture of the shrimp on the grill. Having to try to stealthily remove this at the tableside was very awkward and gross without a sink. Overall, it was a great meal and we left stuffed.

I came here with a few coworkers, and we ordered a bunch of different dishes so we could try a little bit of everything. I'll get right to it. the black bean noodles were my least favorite. They were pretty bland and didn't have that rich, savory flavor I usually expect from a good jjajangmyeon. I'd personally skip this one. The bulgogi was just okay. It had good flavor, but the vegetables made it a little watery. The jjamppong was also a bit mild for my taste, although I still enjoyed it. The kimchi fried rice was pretty good and one of the better dishes we ordered. The real star of the meal, though, was the galbi plate. The marinade was absolutely incredible sweet, savory, and packed with flavor. It was so good that after finishing my first plate, I couldn't resist ordering another one. If I come back, that's exactly what I'll be ordering again. Also, their kimchi was perfectly ripe. Since there aren't a lot of Korean options in Santa Ana I would recommend Cham, but don't expect a super authentic experience. I did give an extra star because it's run by an adorable mom and daughter who provided amazing service!

Ddukbokki with Cheese- Rice cakes were the perfect texture. The sauce has the right amount of sweet and spicy. The fish cakes were meaty and plentiful. Finished with melted cheese. Dawa Chicken- Chicken was crispy with a juicy and tender interior. Sauce was sweet and tangy. The side salad was a good palate cleanser. Good experience overall!

The front half of the restaurant is not huge, so avoid coming with a large group unless you don't mind splitting up.

We came on a weeknight evening and we were the last to be seated for that shift. I think that's where it started off on the wrong foot. When we arrived, there were about three other parties there still eating and drinking. We were seated at a booth. The cushion was uncomfortable, and the tables felt sticky. And it was extremely hot inside. There was a large fan propped up on a counter or table against the wall. There was also another fan in the opposite direction on the floor. It did not feel like there was sufficient air-conditioning. We opted for the basic dinner menu. We ordered chicken Karaage for an appetizer. It was cold and hard and inedible. Seemed like it had been sitting out for the last hour. We got various marinated meats from the self-serve section. The disadvantage with that results in the grill burning easily and it wasn't easy to get a replacement. The one thing that we did like were the cucumbers side dish. Good thing we were able to refill the cucumbers on our own. I think the staff were just done and did not want to be bothered by us. I will say that that one gentleman was helpful for the most part and gentle. However, there was another lady who was ready to clock out I think. The meats were just alright. I don't recall it being that fantastic. Overall, the environment felt off. It was all dark inside, and there was no charm or decor that enhanced the dining experience. Yes, I understand this is Korean barbecue but it just didn't feel inviting. We left disappointed to say the least.

The rice cakes have the perfect texture and don't taste overly starchy. The Yup Dduk comes with fish cakes, sausages, cabbage, and melted mozzarella on top. I always add cellophane noodles because they soak up the sauce so well. It's a hefty portion that easily feeds 2-4 people. This place doesn't play when it comes to spice; I used to get the original, but mild is the sweet spot if you want to enjoy your meal without chugging water or nose-blowing every five minutes. As for the grilled pork bulgogi, it comes with rice and is decently flavored, but I've definitely had better. I'd stick to ordering the tteokbokki instead!

Date of Incident: 5/30/25 Time: Approximately 7:30-7:45 PM To Whom It May Concern, On May 30th, 2025, my family and I visited your location to purchase corn dogs. While waiting for our order, we observed deeply concerning food safety violations by the employee handling our food. The individual was not wearing gloves while preparing the corn dogs and had just taken our cash, claiming your establishment does not accept cards. Additionally, the employee had visible sauce on her hand and, disturbingly, wiped it clean with her mouth while continuing to prepare our food. When we requested to cancel the order and asked for a refund due to these unsanitary practices, the employee questioned us and appeared resistant. After we explained our concerns, she reluctantly agreed to cancel the order but stated it would come at a cost. This experience was extremely disappointing and raised serious health and hygiene concerns. I urge you to review your security footage from the time mentioned and take appropriate action. Customers should not be placed in situations where basic food safety standards are disregarded. Thank you for your attention to this matter. read more

I had a terrible experience here. The owner was extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. He got my order wrong, and when I politely asked for a refund, he became aggressive and even tried to start a confrontation with me. There was no refund policy posted anywhere, so I felt it was completely reasonable to ask. Instead of fixing the mistake or handling it properly, he refused to correct the order, kept my $30, and left me with no food. Completely unacceptable behavior. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

The few outdoor tables don't add much--just as cramped and not exactly comfortable. It feels like they expect you to grab your food and leave, which might be for the best considering the overall experience. Mos 2 used to be a decent quick stop, but it's definitely gone downhill. Between the inflated prices, poor food quality, and uncomfortable setup, service is ok, food comes out pretty fast since everything is basically pre cooked which explained the dry food.
