Food: We ordered the Galbi-Tang and Sul-Long-Tang, and our food came out pretty quickly. Both soups were really flavorful and comforting, and the broth was definitely the most memorable part of the meal. The banchan on the side was a little weaker compared to some other Korean spots I've been to, but the soups more than made up for it. Parking: They have their own parking lot, which made parking easy when we visited. I really enjoyed the food here and would definitely come back, especially when I'm craving a comforting bowl of soup.

Han Yang is good. It's also wonderfully old school. Nothing about the place feels particularly…read moreinterested in being redesigned for Instagram, which I appreciate. You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I'd start. The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything. That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you're hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you're convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter. The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want. Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That's preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down. The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing. The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job. Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you're seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef's table at the restroom, but here we are. Somehow I don't particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn't polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines. Absolutely coming back. And next time, I'm getting that bibimbap again.

It was a great variety of shareable food & we did everything family style. LOVED the galbi the best (so soft & tender, good quality meat with tendony pieces), picanha steak with potatoes (gluten free option), pork belly, burrata with tomatoes, & the salad (mostly was arugula) that came with most of the dishes - that was so great because usually when you order food to share there aren't enough greens. The mushroom pasta was a popular favorite & the seafood rose pasta was also pretty good. I generally prefer unsweetened or less sweet meat, but their seasonings were done pretty perfectly (I hope they never make it sweeter because a lot of restaurants' marinated meats are too sweet/sugary). Everything was delicious! Even the matcha lattes were delicious & the cocktails were a hit, too (& I'm picky about my matchas)! I got mine half sweet & it was just perfect. We also loved the desserts which were a lava cake with ice cream, raspberry cheesecake in a cup, & gogoma (sweet potato) with pumpkin seeds & some crunchy crumble & ice cream. The gogoma was chewy & yummy! I think it was a $900 minimum to reserve the party room on the side of the restaurant, & it was nice & bright with windows all along the side. Highly recommend dPlace! The side room we reserved is a perfect place to gather & quite spacious :) I want to try the truffle potato jeon!

This is my go-to place once the weather hits 95°. During the weekdays, this place is not crowded…read more The busiest times to go are Sunday afternoons! I always order the Cold Arrowroot Noodles. The taste of the vinegar and mustard always leave me salivating. The mustard helps to clear your nose, so be careful not too put too much at once! The noodles are uber chewy, so make sure to take up their offer of cutting the noodles before you eat. The kimchi here is so good they actually sell the kimchi to take home and enjoy. Despite giving both red and white kimchi while dining in person, the white kimchi will always be my favorite. The white kimchi is not spicy, but still has the hallmark vinegar taste with the crunch I've come to expect. This place is very generous with the kimchi- don't be afraid to ask for another small plate of kimchi! This place has a modern vibe, with the beige and white tones. The tables themselves are equipped with a pull-out drawer than includes spoons, chopsticks, and napkins. This allows for quick efficiency when getting seated! Definitely a go-to in sunny Southern California!

I got the green chlorella noodles, which was definitely something different for me. The noodles were really tender and good, and I liked all the toppings that came with them. Everything tasted fresh and the banchan was good too. I think I realized that cold noodles just aren't necessarily my go-to. That's more of a personal preference though, because the food itself was good. If you already like Korean cold noodles, I think you'd really enjoy this place. Glad I tried something new. 7/10

It smells so bad to me, but I think it's a flavor locals love from authentic korean cuisine. The prices are decent and the area is lowkey with easy parking. The service can sometimes be a drag as they can get busy and understaffed.

Unfortunately, one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences I've ever had…read more I'm a big foodie and genuinely love trying new restaurants, so it's very obvious to me when a restaurant is cutting corners at the guests' expense. It was 95°F outside, and the dining room at Mr BBQ was unbearably hot. There was a sign in the waiting area mentioning the AC issue, but the waiting area was significantly cooler than the actual dining room, making it difficult to judge from the entrance just how uncomfortable it would be once seated. We were told the AC was running but that the ventilation from the grills was making the dining room hot. Regardless of the cause, we spent the entire meal sweating and feeling sick from the heat. When we finally walked outside, the 95°F outdoor air actually felt cooler than the dining room. They provided handheld fans, which was a nice gesture in theory, but the fans were visibly filthy and covered in food splatters. The bathrooms were also extremely dirty, with a sign mentioning plumbing issues. Plumbing problems don't excuse poor cleanliness. I understand that equipment issues happen, but this felt like a situation where the restaurant chose to keep operating rather than prioritize the comfort and cleanliness of its guests. For a restaurant charging what it does, that's disappointing. I will not be returning.

Mo Ran Gak is a long-running Korean restaurant located in Garden Grove that's been operating for…read more25+ years. It serves traditional Korean fare such as soups, stews, noodle dishes, and Korean BBQ. It's not an AYCE BBQ spot but they serve high quality meat. The parking lot is small but there is also some street parking. We arrived at around noon and waited about 15 minutes for a party of two. We got the prime non marinated Korean BBQ for two people ($123.95). Of the meats we got as part of the combo, my favorites were the brisket, boneless short ribs, and marinated short ribs. The meal also came with banchan, steamed egg, and tofu soup. The steamed egg was decent but the tofu soup was actually really good. It was seasoned enough and was one of the better tofu soups I've had. Our server cooked the meat and cut them into smaller pieces for us so the meal was easy. I also noticed he cut the fat off them so I appreciated the small details. The service was also really fast and they were quick on giving more rice paper, banchan, and sauces. The meal was pricier than even some AYCE KBBQ restaurants but you can really tell the difference in the quality of the service, banchan, and meat. I saw a lot of Koreans eating here (especially older folks) so I know this is the spot to go to. Note that there is a 5% discount for paying with cash.
