Parking is definitely limited so come early!! The place is also small so make sure to get there early before dinner time. If you’re coming here with a big party, all members must be present to be seated.Definitely recommend the pork katsu and the beef belly!! So good!!! The katsu is HUGE so you can share that with about 4 people.Service is amazing and will come back again!

Love this place it a nice little restaurant place. Went here with friend we order a lot of food and it was all amazing. The pork katsu was huge and delicious, but in the sweet side. The ribs was amazing just the right amount of flavor. The beef belly and everything else was just wonderful. The staff was nice and friendly. The atmosphere was nice vibe. Army ramen was nice but a bit spicy.

The interior is very nice. The food is great. The banchan (side dishes) are great. I recommend the huge pork katsu with curry. I like that they have traditional Korean on their lights. The neighborhood is pretty rough and parking is kind of a nightmare. I think they are working on their liquor license.

Ordered curry tonkatsu, bulgogi stone pot bibimbap(I added some more gochugang on the top for spicy 🌶️) and dumplings 🥟 with some cabbage salad for appetizers.They were all delicious!The side dishes were also tasty, especially loved the cucumber kimchi 🤤They kindly offered refills for the side dishes too. Definitely want to come back again 👍❤️🙏

Super small restaurant. Wait time depends on size of parties before you. Regardless of party size, you are treated with attention and utmost of care. Food was served super hot and giant. Not a place for quick dining as you gotta wait for the food to cool a bit to eat. Super positive experience. Parking is really small.

First time there, went there like 7:15ish and there was a wait. Probably waited about 30 minutes. The food came pretty quick. For me everything tasted really good and it was always hot . Be cautious when eating lol . Overall enjoy the experience. The place look simple, sleek and nice. Definitely go back again:)

Came here on a Sunday evening and the wait was approximately two hours.The pork katsu was quite filling and the curry sauce was good. The army ramen was okay.The braised beef with cheese was tasty but we should have went for the spicy instead of the original. The staff was friendly and the service was on point. Overall I would recommend trying this spot out but since it is a new restaurant, there may be a longer wait during peak hours.

Definitely share the plates here, everything is a huge portion. The 10 hour pork belly was really good. Katsu was worth it. Big as a dinner plate.

It truly is the biggest katsu in Orange County! The staff is very nice, but its very frustrating to try to get a table there. There are no phone/online reservations for this resturaunt. I needed to come in and sign up on an iPad. I tried 3 Sundays in a row, arrived around 7, and my wait time was 60-80 minutes. The first two times I gave up, but third time I just bit the bullet and waited in my car and boy was it worth it. The katsu, the curry, both amazing! If I could reserve a time to dine I would definitely come back more often!

It was really glad to try this new Korean restaurant in town. Food is perfect. We tried galbijjim, ramen and fried garlic pork rib. It’s really good and reasonable price compare to other korean restaurants. Banchan (korean side dishes) is really tasty also Kimchi was best one I ever had. I’ll definitely come back!

Highly underwhelming. To be honest, the katsu is just big and overall taste of the food was disappointing. Also when we were being seated the worker said we could only order once, I assume because they want us to eat quickly and leave but thats really bad service. And I hear four people from other tables came and ordered two then complained that they didnt get up quickly. Would not come back.

The problem is place is very small for such a big appetite. Lol we arrived there not long before they opened. You had to add yourself on the waiting list. They seat you pretty fast but waiting for the waitress was a little longer . Because it was a small place, it filled up pretty fast. Inside is clean, great environment. We ordered beef belly, Dawa chicken, chicken katsu with curry and mundo.Mundo. my favorite ... beef belly!!!! 😍😍 oh em gee!!! That was thr best mix I ever had. Very simple on a hot plate. !! Hubby enjoyed the curry katsu. This place is a must visit for foodies ❤️. Our bill came out about $85 .. well worth it.

This place is the real deal. Hands down my favorite Korean restaurant in the OC. Army stew tastes the closest to Korea as I had. Highly recommend pork katsu with curry and the shrimp Korean pancake. The staff is also great accommodating for families.

So far a bad experience. Google says takeout but I arrived and was told.no takeout. I also tried to call beforehand but no one picked up and no message available. A bit disappointing but Ill update my review when I actually can dine in.
