Came for lunch and there was already a line before opening. The braised short rib with torched cheese was rich and comforting, and I liked that you can choose between spicy and non-spicy. The garlic soy chicken, made with thigh meat and a house-made sauce, was well balanced and not overly sweet. The other dishes we ordered and the banchan were just as satisfying. A solid spot for Korean comfort food in Yorba Linda — would come back.

I visited this restaurant after hearing that Yelp Elites selected it as one of the Top 4 must-try restaurants in Orange County, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt like I had stepped into a Korean movie set. The interior is beautifully designed and full of Korean vibes, which made the dining experience even more special. We ordered the Braised Short Ribs (Galbijjim), and one of the highlights was that they torch it with charcoal right at the table, which gave it an incredible smoky aroma. The dish was also topped with a generous amount of cheese, making it both visually stunning and delicious. We also tried the Chicken Pancake, which I was told is a new menu item. It was AMAZING super crispy and flavorful, and honestly one of my favorite dishes of the night. The Chicken Noodle Soup was another standout. The broth tasted pure, clean, and comforting, yet still had a deep and rich flavor that felt very authentic. Portion sizes here are HUGE we couldn’t finish everything and definitely had to pack leftovers to go. The restaurant is also very spacious and large, so it would be a great spot for bigger groups or family gatherings. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the entire meal, and I was very happy with the overall experience. I’m definitely planning to come back again soon!
