Cream makgeoli

Wish I got picture of the food but was excited about the drink I forgot the food we ordered the tteobokki with ramen and cheese, and bulgogi fries, The drink was absolutely good the fries were a little sweet for me but others loved it. Tteobokki we got less spicy option it was perfect. Service was good and overall really liked the place cause is wasn't loud we could actually hear each other talk. Definitely will be back to try other foods on the menu.

Jjajangmyeon & Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup / 짬짜면 - Half and half bowl
Julie Y.

One of the best spots to grab some black bean noodles (jjajangmyun) and spicy seafood soup (jjambbong). I love that they offer a half and half bowl too! They give a healthy amount of seafood in their soup, mussels, squid, and the broth is served hot and satisfying. Tangsuyook or fried pork in sweet and sour sauce is a must! We also added the popcorn chicken and something about how they fry their items leaves the food crispy for days. Hubs has recently been a Thai tea fiend and the definitely enjoys the option here. Their to-go service is quick and easy too!

My husband and I had a wonderful early Valentine's dinner last night. The soju based seasonal Valentine martinis were phenomenal. We got another round because they were that good. The pork fried rice is buttery, fluffy, and full of pork. The pan fried dumplings are the best in town and made with love. The egg rolls are so light and crispy. The popcorn chicken packs a lot of flavor in each bite. We enjoyed the beautiful patio and had a wonderful time. The service was fabulous per usual.

Bulgogi Fries / 불고기 프라이스
Ellie R.

Came in on Sunday for happy hour with a couple friends and got seated immediately in one of the booths. The interior is similar to any Korean Pocha, with multiple TVs streaming different channels. We got the Bulgogi Fries and Popcorn Chicken off the Happy Hour menu with a pint of Asahi. The bulgogi fries were good, but the popcorn chicken was sorely disappointing. I don't think it's unfair to speculate they're bought pre-made and frozen, as they were all practically crumbles you'd find at the bottom of the bag. They had a strange sweet flavor with an undercooked floury texture. The bill came out to over $50 after tax and tip. Not very happy with the happy hour, would skip if you're looking for a quick bite.

Sweet and Sour Shrimp

Love this place. Opens late and always has seating! Drinks are a little expensive but that's to be expected. Still had a good time. Service is also great. Servers are very attentive. This time we had the: - Jajangmyeon Plate: Delicious flavor and def a go to 5/5 - Sweet and Sour Shrimp: They give you the sauce separate so you can keep the shrimp crispy, the sauce was okay 3/5 - Spicy Garlic Fried Chicken: My favorite dish here! This or the Spicy Garlic Fried Shrimp is delicious - Pork Kimchi Fried Rice: usually is really good but this time was a little too sour - Seafood Sizzling Rice Soup: simple seafood soup. Not much Sizzling Rice 4/5 One of my favorite places to go. Parking is huge too!

I've been coming to this restaurant for years now (though less frequent recently due to moving). To this day, I have never been disappointed with this place. Despite the strange hours relative to other restaurants, I do appreciate how Cafe Patio is also open later than most. Quality of the food and timing of when we get our food is always on point, not to mention that the staff make me and my friends/family feel so welcome here! If you are looking for consistently delicious and comforting Asian meals, look no further than this place!

Cafe Patio is a beautiful hidden gem. Honestly, it doesn't even look like it belongs in the area. It's like a spaceship ripped this restaurant off of some beachfront and relocated it next to downtown Fullerton. The food is delicious. My friends and I are crazy about the jjajangmyeon. It's the best jjajangmyeon I've ever had. Most other things are good too. The chewiness of the noodles are perfect and addicting. Tangsuyuk is good too. I also liked the honey walnut shrimp and the omurice. The drinks are pretty good and very affordable considering prices for alcohol nowadays. You can get an individual soju cocktail for less than $10. I do have one thing to complain about. I came here once close to midnight on a Saturday on a bar crawl to enjoy some soju cocktails. When we tried to order soju cocktails, the staff told us that "we can't make them because the lady who makes the soju cocktail went home." ...Isn't that insane? You're telling me in your entire restaurant only 1 lady knows how to make soju cocktails? Not "sorry, the kitchen is closed." Not "sorry, we're out of ingredients." It was "sorry, the only person who knows how to make them went home." That's ludicrous! It's not like I asked for a Beef Wellington. Even drunk college students can throw together a soju cocktail. But that was a one time thing. Just really stuck with me because it was so ridiculous that I couldn't forget and I needed to get it off my chest. There needs to be some kind of cross training between the staff. Other than that, service is usually friendly and attentive. Food is delicious. I just wouldn't count on this place as a drinking spot for late night.

Salt  and pepper wings!

From the first entree we ordered till the last were all so flavorful and delicious! Highly recommend this place!! Such a cute vibe! I give it a ten!!

Steam pork
Sokna S.

Food: 4/5 Black bean noodles, korean chicken wings, military stew and pork with veggies were all delicious! The black bean noodles with requested spicy was top. The chicken wings were a nice portion and seasoned well. The ice cold beer was great! Service: 5/5 Staff is great, very quick and helpful. Everyone seems really nice. Ambience: 4/5 overall nice decor, its a korean bar but overall nice feel. There's also patio seating as well that can accommodate larger parties. Can't go wrong with either. Definitely looking forward to returning!

jjajangmyeon and spicy garlic shrimp
Erin H.

Cafe Patio is a shining hidden gem. I had jjajangmyeon there, and I loved it! They give generous servings, so what's not to like about it? There is also so much variety in the menu. I need to come back and try all the options. I shared spicy garlic shrimp with my family and it tasted awesome. It wasn't too busy around 6pm. The service was very kind, and welcomed us from the patio. Cafe Patio just became my new go-to for Korean Chinese and I will definitely be coming back.

Pork Belly Kimchi Nacho / 삼겹살 김치 나죠
Cherry N.

My third time coming here and I've enjoyed it every time! Happy hour is Sunday - Thursday from 5-7pm. My group and I got the kimchi pork belly nachos which is a must have! The kimchi pork belly fried rice and bulgogi fries were delicious as well! The service was fast and the staff were very friendly as well.

Kelvin is the man! Give him a raise and also make sure to ask him to take a shot with you because he's down! As someone who used to be a server it was always an honor drinking with customers and it also builds connections with the crew. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday night around 8pm. Everyone was really nice and attentive. One Hispanic lady took our order but forgot to put it in but Kelvin came to save the day after. I'm sure she was busy and we were talking to her too so she got distracted haha. Food came out really fast though. - 1/2 and 1/2 noodles were great. 4/5 - Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings were decent but not the best I've had. 3/5 - Pork Belly Pork fried rice was pretty big but was standard. 4/5 Overall, we had a good time with friends. I'd say it's a pretty typical pocha type vibe. Would get a better feel for all of the food but can't beat soju Saturdays! Definitely want to try the fried chicken gizzards next time! Great location with a lot of parking.

Orange Chicken / 오렌지 치킨, Chicken Chow Mein / 차우면, Chili Oil Wontons  / 고추기름 완탕
Rosario M.

I've been coming here for almost 2 years & let me tell you, I would say without a doubt it is the most consistent place in quality, service and taste. Ive tried a good majority of the menu & everything is delicious. The spicy seafood noodle soup is so tasty and satisfying for the cold weather. The service is also impeccable. They don't miss a beat. The food is always good. It's a calm, more relaxed comforting restaurant. I would say this is my favorite restaurant. I simply love it here & I will keep coming until the end of time. :)

Some restaurants win you over with flashy presentations, and others do it quietly…read more I came in expecting a quick meal and found myself paying attention to all the little things instead. The staff greeted every customer who walked in, the dining room felt relaxed without being too casual, and there was a genuine sense that people here cared about what they were serving. The food arrived quickly, but nothing tasted rushed. Each dish had its own personality, and even the simplest items felt thoughtfully prepared. By the end of the meal, I realized this wasn't the kind of place people visit once for the novelty but it is the kind of place they keep coming back to because it simply makes them feel comfortable. I've had may fair share of jjamppong over the years, and this was easily one of the cleanest, most satisfying versions I've tried. Their white jjamppong is the best one so far. The broth had a comforting depth without feeling overly heavy, and every spoonful was packed with ingredients. They definitely didn't skimp on the seafood and vegetables, which made the entire bowl feel hearty and well balanced rather than just being mostly noodles and broth. If you enjoy a little heat, do yourself a favor and ask extra spicy. The added spice gives the broth another layer of flavor and beings everything together beautifully without completely overpowering the dish. I'd happily return, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a spot that values consistency and hospitality just as much as the food itself.

replying to the owner,…read more 네, 비싸요. 5불도 안 하는 3분 오뚜기 짜장이나 짜파게티보다 맛없는 물짜장면이 15불이면 진짜 비싸죠. 차라리 돈 좀 더 내고 다른 데 가서 먹는 게 사실 더 싼거죠. OC area 에서 먹어본 짜장면중에 제일 맛 없었어요. 분식점들 포함. 심지어 여기보다 더 싼 홍콩반점 보다도 맛이 없어요. 손님들을 위해 제 경험을 공유하는데 어쩌라고 기싸움을 하시는건지? Yes, it's expensive. A watery jajangmyeon that tastes worse than a cheap 3-minute Ottogi jajang or Chapaghetti (which costs less than $5) is definitely overpriced at $15. You'd honestly be better off paying a little more and eating somewhere else. This is honestly the worst Jajangmyeon I've ever had in the OC area, even including k-snack bars. It was worse than even Hong Kong Banjeom, which is cheaper than this place. This review was written to share my experience with other potential customers. /////////////////////////////////////////// 한국 시장스타일 물짜장인데 맛집 간짜장보다 비쌈 심지어 맛도 없음 차라리 로렌하이츠 용문루 가세요 overpriced old mom and pops style jjajang myun. not worth the money. will not come back i'd recommend Yong Moon Lu instead for those of you who care for taste and $ value.

This place will keep you fed and full for a good price. The chicken dishes here are all pretty…read moregood. The soy chicken is super sweet though, to the point where it tastes like candy, so I would be careful w that one if you dont like sweet things. I was in the mood for shrimp the last time I went so I asked for a shrimp dragon bowl. The lady spoke very fast and in very broken English. I believe she asked what type of shrimp and I asked what type they had and she had me go down to the steam table that had one type of shrimp, so I was like "ok, I guess that's the one then." The portions and the cook and temp on the shrimp was really good. The sauce on them was straight up mayonnaise though. Looking back at their menu online I now know this must be their walnut shrimp. Never saw any walnuts though. All mayo. So the next time I go I will ask if I can get a bowl of maybe some sweet and sour or spicy chili shrimp because the mayo all over the bowl was kinda gross. Their firecracker chicken, orange chicken, kung pow chicken are all good and the egg rolls they give as part of the combos are the highlight of the meal for sure. The past couple of times I have gone they were still stocking the drinks in the ice bin so when they asked me to take a drink as part of the combo each time they had not stocked any of the sugar free sodas. I mentioned to them if they had a diet soda I would take one and they just stonewalled me and didn't reach over to the stack of cases of diet soda along the wall of the restaurant. So yeah, not the most helpful of service sometimes. I think it might be because they are always so busy and they have one speed where you don't stop to smell the roses and make that connection, but at least you can say that they keep the line moving.

I think this is the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. Got Orange Chicken (no flavor) Fried…read morerice (super dry) noodles (again flavorless) The order was wrong. Ordered a large pork fried rice (got shrimp) Honestly it was bad. Oh the egg roll tasted like dirt. It's a walk up and order establishment so I won't address ambiance. I don't get the hype about this place. I've had better from the Panda chain.
