    Food is great, but I definitely got confused when walking in because the sign outside the restaurant says Chinese Cuisine but all the menu and the wall menu is Korean. Nonetheless, food is food and this food was fantastic! We ordered three dishes. The jjampong was perfectly rich seafood broth and the noodles had perfectly chewy texture. We also got the black bean sauce with noodles and this was also *chefs kiss* with same chewy perfect noodles. The sweet and sour pork was the only item I wish was seasoned better. The sauce was great but I wished the pork itself was seasoned. The service was great and our pickled Dikon and radishes were being topped up. I will def be coming back to eat here!!

    Delicious food and fast service at the restaurant. I wish they would bring down the price a bit like 4 piece mandoo is $10. But overall, I love eating here.

    Decided to take my family here for Mother's Day as it's close to home. It's located next to HMart so this my local "Diamond Jamboree...didn't want to deal with chaotic parking so I'm giving this restaurant a chance to try. It was busy here but had to be patient. I got the noodles with black bean sauce, spicy seafood soup, etc. Bill was reasonable as I factored inflation. Mom, sister and I enjoyed it. Will swing by here because it's local and don't need to drive because it's not too far from Irvine Marketplace and Regal Theatre. Another plus is the free Irvine shuttle near the restaurant at Culver Drive and Irvine Boulevard.
