    The combination of tasty food and attentive service earned the five stars. Been wanting to try this…read morespot for their mega katsu dishes and it did not disappoint. HUGE props to Ian for holding down the FOH fort solo on a slammed Friday night. He handled all the tables and the 8+ groups waiting with such grace and genuine care, showing just the right amount of urgency to indicate the patrons were the priority. He anticipated when the tables might need refills or extra napkins, never flinching when it seemed as though everyone wanted something broiled table side, all while juggling the scorching dishes the kitchen crew cranked out with ease. Ian very easily tipped this review into five star territory with his hard work! We ordered the chicken katsu and the bibimbap for the two of us, but really want to try the short ribs and cheese, and the bibimyun. The crowds were a diverse mix of Korean elders, young college kids, and neighborhood folks - all signs that the food speaks for itself. If you're looking for quality Korean comfort food, a simple menu, and an intimate atmosphere, this is the place for you. Oh, and the banchan choices were great for a kimchi, pickle, mac salad lover like me!

    I went to Dawa Kitchen a few years ago with my younger sister and dad, and I'm glad this place is…read morestill in business and that their portion sizes are still incredibly massive! We ordered the chicken katsu curry, beef soup (galbi tang with glass noodles), and dawa chicken. All three dishes were shared family style and we had a good amount of chicken katsu curry to take home as leftovers for my friend's partner to eat for his dinner. Can you believe that a group of seven women only had to pay $71.86 total (including tax and the automatic gratuity for our party size that was 5+ people) for that much food? We each paid $10.27 for our portion and that's highway robbery in this economy. In terms of customer service, I'll say that our server was incredibly friendly when he was present, but he admittedly came by literally only three times during our visit: when we had to dramatically flag him down to order, when he dropped off our food when it was ready, and when we had to flag him down to pay for our check. I'm so glad they had a handheld terminal for us to use for checkout because we might have passed out from heat stroke if we waited any longer, lol. There are always trade-offs in this life, I suppose. We'll be back soon!

    The front half of the restaurant is not huge, so avoid coming with a large group unless you don't mind splitting up.

    Love going this spot when I have a strong craving for ttteokbokki. The restaurant itself is pretty…read moresmall, so sometimes I'll do takeout if I know I'll be going during dinner rush. They don't allow outside food/drinks as you're eating, but they did let us keep our drinks in their fridge until we finished our meal. Yupdduk is known to be super spicy, so every time I chicken out and get the mildest spice level or one level up. Have definitely had friends be bold and order spicier levels only to struggle later. Since the portions are so big, I prefer to keep it mild to actually enjoy eating! Recommend getting the cheese add on in person but becomes a bit more questionable for takeout unless you have a good way to heat the cheese at home before eating. Also like to get the tempura and thick glass noodle add ons! They sell lots of drinks as well to help cut the spice/the peach juice is tasty regardless. Lots of parking and other nice shops/dessert spots in the plaza as well for your wait or post-meal.

    Yupdduk irvine is one of the few locations thats authentic to the ones in Korea…read more I recently tried the rosé ddukbokki and it had the perfect amount of spice and creaminess!!! The food is soo addictive so it always leaves me craving for more. service isn't the best but it is what it is. i wish there was more/spacious seating. you end up feeling a bit close to your neighboring patrons but again, it is what it is and i'm still gonna be back
