Cafe Patio is a great restaurant to eat some pretty good food, drink some beer and soju, and hang out with your friends. Their food is pretty good, and their prices aren't that bad. My favorites were the army stew, chicken wings, and the bulgogi fries (this was my favorite favorite favorite, definitely get the bulgogi fries). They only allow to split the bill 2-3 ways per table, so if you are looking to come with a big group, keep that in mind. There is outside and indoor seating. The bathroom isn't in the restaurant but outside next to the restaurant, fairly clean, what you'd expect. Parking has never been an issue for me, but I've gone mostly on the weekdays. read more

Good service and fun vibes! Food isn't bad at all either! Needed another Korean pub place to go to after our other usual place closed and found Cafe Patio! Highly recommend going with your friends. They have indoor and outdoor seating but I don't recommend large groups like 20. It doesn't seem to have A lot of seating like that. Small/medium size groups will do better here. We had a party of 8 and that alone took up one of the 2 large outside seating tables (to give you an idea). Food and drinks came out pretty quickly! Got one Yakult and one mango soju cocktail, couple of plain soju bottles and like 2 pitchers of beer. More than enough for a humpday catch up! Ordered the: *bossam (pork belly)-nice and tender with good flavor. Came with daikon, kimchi, garlic and chili sauce. Yum! *2 chicken wings-sweet and spicy +spicy garlic. Came out super hot, crunchy, and lots of flavor! *fried chicken cartilage-like a crunchy popcorn chicken! Haha! The Sweet chili sauce and kimchi that came with it was perfect. Will definitely come back to try out more food and drinks! read more

I usually come here and food is always great but today the service was bad. Wasn't really checked up on and received a bit of attitude from our server. read more

Chill little spot walking distance from DTF. Came here for dinner and drinks with friends and family. They do have HH specials but sadly we missed it by an hour. However, regardless of HH or not, the overall tab was $180, which wasn't bad for all the drinks and food we ordered. The pitcher of beer is pretty expensive , it was $18.99 , but price varies based on the beer you select. Overall, food was decent, wasn't the best. We ordered the kimchi pancake, spicy seafood soup with noodles (ramen & udon) and the sampler platter (gyoza, mozzarella sticks, French Fries, and rice cake and sausage skewer. Kimchi pancake was a little burnt, spicy seafood soup was off for me but after awhile gradually tasted better and the sampler plate, everything was pretty good except the mozzarella sticks were a little sad looking and tasting. read more

My friends invited me to Cafe Patio one night, and let's just say it was definitely worth the drive from South OC to Fullerton. I love the atmosphere of the outdoor area with the lights. It feels cozy, even with tables that are adequately 6 feet apart. Their menu can be a little overwhelming with so many offerings but we couldn't say no to the Budaejjigae. It's truly the ultimate pairing with soju and it was well worth the price, as it had such wide assortment of items and really filled us up. My friends also ordered the Kung Pao Beef and only had good things to say about it. We really enjoyed our night here. It never gets too rowdy or crazy but it definitely has an upbeat aura that makes for a good time :'). The service is also great. The lady who was helping us throughout the night was so kind and on top of it, which we really appreciated. Will def be back!! read more

It was my first time at Cafe Patio, and I can imagine how vibrant and lively this place was pre-covid! Their patio outside was very quaint, and even with Covid requirements I didn't feel like I was confined in a small space. They have pretty good food with fairly large portions. My friends and I as a party of 4 ordered 1 Jajamyon (black bean noodle), 1 order of spicy garlic wings, and a spicy pork. We also ordered their mango soju cocktail. We totally intended to order more food and really wanted to try more things, but their portions were actually very filling! I do wish they expand their happy hour mention to a few snack items, and hopefully to more flavored soju as well! read more

IF YOU HAVE KIDS, DON'T BOTHER COMING. My family and I do dinner out every Friday and we pick new places to go each week. We walked through the door and were straight up told we were not allowed to dine there because we had kids. I asked where the sign was that said they didn't serve minors and the lady said the manager wanted to have more of a "bar" feel instead of a family friendly restaurant. It was 5:57pm. I even checked Yelp before we came and I didn't see anywhere that children weren't allowed. ‍ read more

I this place! One of my favorite places. A must try is the wings!!! The wings are soooooo good! It's a big serving , wings are large, the taste is so yummy. My family and I normally come here. We normally order Noddles, fried rice, Mongolian beef, and the orange chicken. I've never had the soups but they seem to be very popular. read more

My friend and I came here for drinks and korean food. The corn cheese is definitely 10/10- I RECOMMEND!! We also ordered grilled chicken gizzards which tasted so delicious being that they were the right level of crunch and the garlic and rice cakes included were *chefs kiss*. The tteokbokki was INSANELY good where it wasn't too chewy and we asked for light spice level too. We finished all of those dishes. Our waiter, Justin, was a pleasure to speak and interact with! He made us feel welcomed and we enjoyed the atmosphere, thanks to him. I definitely will come here again with friends. Love the food and drinks. Beware that they do charge for lemon slices! read more

Food was bomb and the server was really helpful!! It's a great place to share food with friends especially since it's open late. The outdoor seating area was super cute too!! read more

They need to update their hours got off around 12:45 says they are open until 2 am I work 5 mins away and their doors were locked

I love the honey garlic wings. Prices are decent. The soups are good as well and so are the cocktails.

My husband and I spontaneously ventured to this new place on February 24th for date night because we were in the area. We loved the warm patio seating and had a hard time deciding on which menu items to order because there were so many options. It was difficult in a good way because we were excited about trying everything. Try it out! You won't be disappointed. We loved everything. The food and the service. My husband also ordered something else that was spicy, but I can't remember what it was because we forgot to take a photo. read more

Imagine: a group of seven friends, seeking outdoor dining options in a new city at 9PM during the pandemic. I'm not sure why we thought this was a good idea, but the adventure was worth the fun. Two stars for the amazing service, nightlife ambiance, and accommodations for our large party. After receiving our meals, it's safe to assume the general public don't come here for the bar food. The fruity and festive soju cocktails are the highlight of the menu, with enticing Korean fusion specials like Bulgogi Fries and Pork Belly Kimchi Nachos. We ordered over 12 dishes in our party and tried everything from Fried Oysters to Calamari, Chow Mein and Fried Rice, Spicy Ramen and Orange Chicken. Hands down, the top two things I put in my mouth last night were the Honey Soy Wings and the Dumplings. Save your money on the oysters and calamari. Soju bombs and a pitcher of Lychee Soju Cocktails saved the experience! By the end of the meal, we were enjoying our first night out at a bar, being able to take shots and make conversation with the waiters. COVID-19 precautions are somewhat in effect. I didn't notice the reusable menus being sanitized, nor were parties seated 6 feet away from one another. Staff did wear masks and gloves, and seeming took precautions to minimize interactions. read more

Located in a strip mall near down town fullerton filled with other eateries and it's own private lot for parking. Cafe Patio offers a selection of Korean style Chinese food Not Chinese Korean food. They also offer traditional Korean dishes; Spicy Rice Cake, Pork Belly, etc. We came in 10mins before opening and the server was kind enough to let's us wait in the patio while they were setting up. We were impressed with the service and the specials they offer. Everyday they have Happy Hour (5PM-8PM) offering a pitcher of beer for $9.50!! We ordered the Salt and Pepper Wings, 50/50 jajamyung (black bean noodles) and the Jangpong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and we were very satisfied with the portion size and felt the spicy level was enough. I felt throughout our time here the servers were very tentative and the music wasn't too loud and had a variety of KPop and some Pop music playing. read more

I wish this place was open earlier in the day! I love their food and drinks so much and the price is very reasonable. The staff is friendly and accommodating, I especially love how hands on the manager (maybe she's the owner?) is. I particularly love their kimchi fried rice, spicy rice cakes, and bulgogi fries. I take my friends here whenever we crave Korean food because of the variety of options and quality of both the food and service! The place has a fun vibe and feels very comfortable and cozy, it's a great place for a date night or a friends night out or even just to treat yourself!! read more

To be honest, the Chinese-Korean theme was a little confusing, but soon made sense when we looked at the menu. It's basically a Korean restaurant that also offers Chinese dishes. (You can tell they were more Korean than Chinese because they played K-Pop the whole night.) We got here a little past 8 on a Sunday night. There were a handful of other tables, but otherwise pretty quiet. Only one server on staff. We ordered the salt and pepper fried chicken (I've never seen this at a restaurant before, so I was impressed! I've only ever had it when my mom makes it at home.) and two orders of the 50/50 jajangmyeon/spicy seafood noodle soup. The jajangmyeon was underwhelming. There was little to no meat, but a ton of onions. I'm not sure if there was SUPPOSED to be meat, but the lack of it made it taste like it should be a small side dish, not a main course. The spicy seafood noodle was alright but was not spicy whatsoever. Overall, the environment was pretty nice, but the food was just okay. It's also located in a super quiet plaza that to be honest, didn't feel all that safe at 8pm on a Sunday night. Don't think we'll come back here. read more

3.5 Rating...while very excited to try this place out, it didn't meet the many reviews. Let's talk about the positive aspects. First off this is a great place to come if you are looking for an open spot to eat with some friends. The food was good, the table got plenty of food but my favorite were the Korean Fried Wings, they were delicious. The down side is that the wait time was long and they don't have the space to accommodate large parties. Went in with a party of 11 inn Friday night and were quoted almost a 2 hour wait and not guaranteed. Another factor is since most go to drink it gets really loud. We were literally screaming across the table and still couldn't hear each other. Also for large parties more than 8 they charge 18% gratuity. I don't have a problem necessarily with that. If someone gives good service why not even 20%+ but we had to waive down our waiter for drinks, napkins, refills and our check. Maybe the atmosphere is different earlier? Will give it another chance. read more

Cafe Patio is a korean pub/bar located near downtown Fullerton. It serves your typical bar fare in a very relaxed/chill setting. There's lots of comfortable seating in the Patio area, hence it's name. My girlfriend and I ordered Kimchi fried rice and some wings. The Kimchi fried rice was pretty good and tasty. At some places, the rice would be dry, but this place had it done well. Servers were attentive and friendly, and I don't have to wait for the food to come out. I would recommend this place if you were looking for a nice, casual place to hang out. Dogs are allowed in the patio area and we had the pleasure of dining next to a table who brought their beautiful husky. All in all a solid place to lounge around and have a fun night out with good people! read more

I ordered the volcano egg and the kungpao chicken. The food was so salty. I asked the owner if she can remake it with less salt since it was inedible. She told me to just eat it. Ive never had such treatment at any restaurant before in my life. How is this place still in business??? read more

Wow... just wow. I wish I can give zero stars if I can. The owner here is so full of **** I'm at a loss of words. I brought my son here and the owner said that's not a problem. As soon as we ordered all the food, she said our kid cannot be in her restaurant. Huh???? We just ordered over $100 worth of food??? I asked what's going on and the owner lady literally said, "do you wanna fight?" LOLLL what's going on here?? Not sure but one thing is for sure. Never coming back here again. read more

Decided to come here as we were looking for a korean bar similar to blossom in rowland heights. It's a fusion korean chinese type place. Inside is nice. With tvs inside where you can watch a sports game, as well as other tvs that are playing k-pop music videos. Corresponding music playing in the background. They also have an outside seating area, thus the name, the patio. They even have some free arcade games of mortal combat and pacman, which is nice to have as your waiting for your food or just relaxing. We ordered multiple drinks throughout the night. Including berry popsical cocktail, watermelon cocktail, yakult soju and an 805 beer. Berry popsical was good. Nice to have that popsical that's slowly melting and adding more flavors to the drink. Watermelon cocktail was ok. Container came in a mini watermelon which was interesting. I think it just needed to be stirred because it was light on the top in regards to alcohol and heavy on the bottom. Yakult soju was light in alcohol. Overall the alcohol content seemed low because after all those drinks I really didnt feel it, and let me tell you, I feel it after 1 corona lite. We ordered some food too including their spicy chicken wings, and a half and half of their jjajang and spicy seafood noodle. They have a cool container that divides the 2 dishes in 1 plate which was pretty cool. The jjajang or black bean noodle which tasted good. It was creamy and the noodles were cooked well. The spicy seafood noodles were good as well. The spicy chicken wings though were mind blowing!! Better than most chicken wing joints!!! Crispy on the outside like no other but so juicy and tender on the inside. Flavors were amazing. Definitely pieces of amazingness!! Really a great compliment to the drinks. Service was sort of slow especially since we were the only people there at the time. As time went on this place really got busy!! Not as good as blossom in rowland heights but their wings makes this place a definite must visit!!! Also it's nice that theres many other things to do here, such as the arcades, the tvs and the music videos to keep you entertained. read more

I eat here once a week it seems like lol. When I'm in the mood for wings, this is the place I go to. They have one of the best salt and pepper buffalo wings. I asked for extra jalapeños and they don't charge extra like some restaurants do. The staff here are so friendly. Either eating there or ordering taketakeout, they always greet you with a smile . Their food are very authentic and so tasty... so good. Their cook-to-order pickup for takeout is always fast. I never once had to wait long. Thank you for your perfection in costumer service and delivering great fresh cooked food. read more

Hands down 5 stars better than that Seoul eats place down the street with better service and they serve authentic Korean dishes with a couple of Korean Chinese dishes like Jjajangmyun, jjampong and tangsuyook. $9 soju all day on Saturdays the only dish that lacks flavor is the omurice. Their jjajjangmyun, chicken wings, pork fries and tangsuyook is always our favorite dishes to order. read more

Been a few times. Food is always yummy and the happy hour is great! Their plates are more for sharing so just something to keep in mind

Good is great the service is friendly and the ambiance is nice with music I love the outside setting is great.

Went here after work and everything was good, we got the magic fries, cheese corn, and the takoyaki was to die for! The best I've had in this city! When you go you have to try the popsicle cocktail! I got mine virgin and it was still delicious! And super super aesthetically pleasing! The servers were super friendly, quick to pick up finished plates, and were over all very attentive! Would love to come here again read more

Flavor wise, this place is pretty decent for being in Fullerton, but there are so many other good hole in the walls in the OC. This spot is mainly for the high school/college kids that want a late night drink, in my opinion. I had a couple things: **Jjajangmyeon (Black Bean Sauce Noodles): This one was a huge pass for me. Sauce was way too sweet. Never had this dish that sweet before. Other than that, it was pretty decent. (2.5/5) ** Jjamppong (Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup): This dish was actually pretty good. Spice level was right on and the flavor was great, no big complaints here. (4/5) ** Tangsuyuk (Sweet & Sour Pork): This one was pretty decent as well. The pork was perfect, along with the sauce. (4/5) The food was a little above par on average, but why the low rating? I got these items delivered through Postmates and the to-go containers that we got were a mix of styrofoam and plastic, so the top plastic part had melted through, to the food when it arrived, causing it to leak throughout the bag and plus, that's a health hazard, but we ate it anyways. I really hope management can read this so they can change the way they pack to-go containers. If it wasn't for that issue, I'd give this place a higher rating. If they would fix this issue, I would love to order from Postmates again in the near future. read more

I love the servers here. They're so nice and accommodating. The only reason why I have to give a one star is because the owner is so rude. I am not sure how she ended up in the service industry. read more

So they've updated their happy hour menu. Pitchers of beer (HH 5-8pm) for $11.99 include 805, Stella, Sapporo, and Hite. Don't be a sucker like me and order a pitcher of Goose IPA and Elysian IPA and get a crappy surprise on the check ... My fault for not reading their updated menu. Anyway, I think the quality of the food has gone down. The salt and pepper wings are no longer extra crunchy, but kind of soggy. Also, all the wings we ordered came as wingettes, no drumettes. Felt kind of ripped off on that one. Same deal with the spicy garlic wings (tasted like orange chicken)...ALL wingettes. Don't order the kimchi pancake, it was extremely soggy. I used to really like this place. Now that they've nerfed the menu and the food quality going a bit downhill, this may no longer be my regular spot. Don't get me wrong, the food is still decent, just not great. 3 stars. read more
