Korean egg and tofu bagel
Yurie H.

Cute whole in wall shop with good food and service. We came around 11 AM, was pretty crowded but good came out within 15 min. There is both inside and outside seating. I got the tofu egg bagel on gluten free bagel ($11) hubby got the pork bowl ($14) also got iced and hot coffee was well. They have good selection of hot coffee and have a mini fridge for creamer and sauce, also have a soccer joystick game in the back. Korean tofu egg bagel wasn't overly salty fluffy egg, the hot sauce makes the bagel better. Taste like home made sandwich Hubbys bowl was good not overly huge and good portion of rice to meat, the bowls are BYO so can customize when workers serve you, Unique shop with so many delicious looking breakfast and lunch items, would love to try the beef bagels next time.

They have a few of these spread out to use for free! Coolest thing ever

So good, so different and unique from the food to the decor and concept. I loved it and will definitely be back !

The bacon egg and cheese on everything bagel was unique. The egg texture and taste reminded me of korean steam eggs. I think they add water to the eggs to make them super fluffy. 8.9 / 10. The tuna sandwich my son had was pretty good. He gave it a score of 7 / 10. My wife ordered the beef bowl. It was almost $20 with avocado. For the price is was mediocre and not worth it. 4 / 10. The cashier was super nice. The ambience is welcoming and has the local deli vibe. The bagel and sandwich came out promptly. The beef bowl didn't come out for 20 minutes. We went to the front to ask for a status but everyone was busy and didn't even look at us. I think the cashier kinda noticed and thats when they started preparing the food. Took almost 30 minutes for the beef bowl. Everyone was done with their food when it came out. Took a star off for that. Edit: due to the owners proactive focus on making things right and his passion for his restaurant and customers i decided to add another star.

Wonderful place, food and staff. The owner Jun is extremely friendly and patient. My wife and I returned to this place a second weekend and brought our family as their unique bagels and fillings were definitely something we hadn't experienced before. The flavors are incredible with the special fluffy egg that you usually only find at kbbqs. The bagels are also extremely fresh, as my wife on both occasions ordered the whole wheat bagel, which always came out perfectly, well balanced, great bite, chewy and crispy on the outside. My family and I also tried the garlic, and jalepeno cheddar, which are definitely both great options. This place has great vibes, cool decor, and even a patio making them very dog friendly! Would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a very tasty Korean style bagel. Looking forward to returning in the near future!

Love the ambiance in here - lots of natural lighting with hipster decor. The cashier who I think is the owner seemed to he very knowledgeable and passionate about bagels. We got a bagel sandwich and smoked salmon bagel both turned out great!

Korean spicy pork bagel

An adorable full of vibes bagel and sandwich spot! We loved the vinyl decorations, the music, the overall nice and chill vibes the second we walked in. We ordered the spicy pork bagel and it was so tasty and juicy. The egg was so fluffy and well seasoned! We were a bit too full from coffee before hand and that was definitely our mistake. Next time we definitely want to try more sandwiches!! The service was so quick and they are all so personable and nice! It felt like a mom and pop store

Spicy Pork and Egg Bagel

I've been seeing this place on social media and the food HITS! Tried the spicy pork and egg bagel on an everything egg bagel and that thing was delicious!! They have a lot of good snacks to check out, I recommend the rice chips not that spicy. Also tried their corn tea drink, very refreshing and not sweetened. Owner was awesome and staff was so nice. I definitely recommend checking this place out.

Deli Seoul is delicious! Came here after running the OC 1/2 with my friends and it was spectacular. Staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is casual with some items being self serve and some the staff provided. Bagels are made fresh and are displayed right next to the kiosk as you order. There are classic options as well as Korean fusions. I highly recommend the steak and eggs on the Jalapeño cheese Bagel. I will definitely be coming back to try more Bagels and combinations.

Korean Steak (Bulgogi) Bagel
Alexis J.

What a cute bagel shop! I always love supporting small businesses and I swung by since I saw it was run by a mom and her son. Deli Seoul offers fusion bagels with a Korean twist. Took my mom here after her post-op checkup and while she is not a bagel fan in general--she LOVED every bite of the steak bagel we shared. Was like an elevated bagel breakfast sandwich: tastier, cheesier, and I appreciated the mild kick the spicy mayo gave it. Service was quick, easy, and the space was full of vinyls and good music. Overall, a wonderful bagel shop if you want a great, home-made tasting bagel creation. Will come back to try the lunch menu as that looks delicious as well!

A few weeks ago, at midnight, I started craving Korean food and Deli Seoul was one of my top three contenders to check out this morning. Unfortunately for them, kimbap, pizza, and bagels are the only things I could tolerate so I came the next day. I got the tofu bowl and three kimbaps. The kimbaps they made fresh and were sooooo good. I also picked up a sweet cinnamon punch since they were out of rice punch. V good. I could actually drink it without throwing up! (Morning sickness. Fun) The tofu bowl lasted me and my LO two meals and was pretty good even after taking it home. What REALLY drives this place for me though is the layout and the service. Theres a legit kids corner so I can't wait to take my LO here next time. When I ordered, they asked for my name and remember it!! Oh! And he even asked if it was my first time and refused to let me pay for my drink until I paid for it. Then mama came out and personally hand me my bag of food. Like... what!?? I immediately texted my sis asking if she'd date him. Oops

Holly Molly, the bagels were insane!!! They ran out of the ones I wanted so I just took a gander and made my own and also ordered the korean park one. Amazing spot. The owner and manager are extremely kind and caring. Also love the retro vibes in here!!! Sick spot

Karen H.

Very delicious good and very friendly staff. Parking was easy in the plaza, will come back to try other things on the menu. Easy going environment with good music playing.

First of all, the nice lady (I think the owner) is amazing and super helpful. I tried their seoul steak on dutch crunch bread and it was so good, tastes so fresh and comforting! Their sauce bar is filled especially try their house made gochujang sauce. I really need to come back soon to try their bagels and bowls!

Can you tell me what your vegan cream cheese is made out of and if your bagels are vegan as well?

Hi! Bagels are unfortunately not vegan We use a couple different brands of vegan cream cheese.… 

Do you have organic sourdough bread?

Hi Michael. Our sourdough bread is not 100% organic

Are there any vegan options?

Unfortunately, none of our breads are considered vegan. The sourdough bagel or bread is the closest thing, but I can't guarantee it. The only item I'm 100% sure is vegan is our vegan cream cheese. However, we are often using the same prep stations… 

When will delivery be available?

We are not sure at the moment, but are working on it!

Where was their old location?

Our previous location was on the cross streets of Harbor Blvd and Baker.

The medium spice beef soondubu comes out sizzling, comforting, and it's nice how they give you a raw egg to crack into the soup. The star of the show for me though, is the galbi! It has such a delicious smoky flavor that makes it SO tasty and easily one of the best galbis you can get in SoCal. I also love that they serve purple rice, which is such a nice touch (for more fiber), and the occasional barley tea water is always refreshing and hits the spot! Each time I've gone here, the waitresses/host are always so kind enough to give us an on-the-house dish such as jjajangmyeon or cold buckwheat noodles. Little details like that make the dining experience even better. So far, this is my favorite Korean restaurant in OC, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area or looking for a cozy meal. Definitely a place I keep on coming back to!

They do refill both the banchan and broth. I love the Gogi Soon Tofu. They can adjust the spice level, which is nice. It's such a comforting meal. If you have a few people, I highly recommend getting their bossam. It is so delicious and easy to share. Other dishes that I would get again are the Jajang Myun, Chic Mul Naengmyun (so good on a hot day). There's so many dishes to try. I can't wait to go back!

We love this place! My family and I, have been coming here…read moreover a year now, whenever we crave Korean comfort food. It's so convenient and close to home. I can't believe it took me this long to write a review ... The owner has been super friendly and helpful when we're choosing items since the first time we came here. It's a family owned restaurant, and these are his mom's recipes. Some bibimbap places use spinach, they use Korean mountain greens. My go to is the Kalbi, & seafood pancake. I love the Kalbi! Nice big marinated pieces and I love eating off the bone. The seafood pancake is a win for us with a nice dipping sauce. My son loves the Mandu guk, it's a flavorful and comforting bowl of dumpling soup. My husband tries a variety of things like bibimbap, spicy pork with soondubu (tofu stew) and loves the ban chan especially the pickled cucumbers. When my Mom came she loved the rib bone soup , she was so happy with her rib bones and broth oh and she loves Chap-Jae. She enjoyed that too. The restaurant is clean and they always welcome us in even when we come in close to closing. Side note: I had gone to La Crescenta to a Korean restaurant a long time ago with my girlfriends. I was just curious when the owner told me he used to have a restaurant in that town and i wondered if they were one and the same. I had a photo of us there. It was the same place, what a small world. :)

I consider myself a foodie and have pretty high standards for food and to say that we come here about once a week since we've discovered this place says A LOT. We have tried the seafood pancake, galbitang, yukgaejang, tofu soup and galbi and would recommend them all. The restaurant's located in a small shopping center with limited parking but it's worth figuring out because I swear by the food. Restaurant is spacious yet cozy and cute. Skip BCD in Irvine and come eat at a legit spot like Myung Dong. Alvin's always so kind to us (and pretty funny) and you can tell he has so much passion for cooking. Derek and Sarah are amazing too, very helpful and provide great service. This restaurant's only been open for about a year and is destined for amazing things.

We had actually expected just the usual soup ramen place, but later discovered that, although a view varieties of ramen noodles are offered on their menu, their specialty was in fact the dried version of a bowl of soup ramen noodles, or what our server referred to as a bowl of "reverse" ramen noodles, better known as Mazemen noodles.... sounded really yummy so far as I have always preferred dry noodles to soup ones. So, my wife went ahead and ordered a bowl of spicy California Tonkotsu ramen noodles, and I went with the Saitama Chicken Mazemen noodles..... and some handmade spicy wonton and fried Karaage Chicken on the side.

As for my Mazemen noodles....woweee!.... this was my first time trying Mazemen noodles, with a large board on the wall with instructions on how Wadaya's Mazemen noodles should be eaten. When the instructions were followed, I dug straight in and...mmmmm good! The combination of ingredients in the bowl.... peppered ground chicken, scallions, chives, poached egg, minced garlic, fish umami, and seaweed flakes.... when all tossed together just made for an amazingly delicious bowl of noodles! I really loved and enjoyed it so very much! The Chicken karaage and spicy wontons were very delicious too and went great with our noodles. Other than that, very cute and cozy ambiance... like a little Japanese ramen place, service was excellent.. our server was so nice, so friendly, so attentive, and so helpful.... this made for just the perfect lunch!

I went back today and got the gold dust fried zucchini again and the 9 piece mixed wing and drumsticks and a side of white rice. The food didn't taste quite as good as the first time. I got half classic crunch and half soy garlic for the chicken. The soy garlic was a glaze on the fried chicken and wasn't bad. But the classic crunch was plain and very dry inside and outside. The soy glaze was more flavorful and had more crunch than the classic crunch. The side of rice is very small, about the equivalent of a small ice cream scoop. I wish they had different sizes to choose from for those who would like more rice but don't want to pay for two small ones. Not sure if I would return for the chicken again.

Soft music played in the background, and the traditional Japanese decor gave the restaurant a warm, relaxing feel. Our server was friendly and respectful, and the food came out quickly and hot. We ordered the Pork Loin Katsu Curry and the Cheese Pork Katsu. The pork loin was cooked really well, with a crispy, golden crust and a tender, juicy interior. The curry was flavorful and comforting without being spicy, making it an easy choice if you prefer a milder Japanese curry. The Cheese Pork Katsu was also excellent. The melted cheese added a creamy richness that complemented the crispy pork well. Both meals also came with miso soup, which had a clean flavor, and a side of shredded lettuce with dressing that helped lighten up the richness of the fried dishes. Overall, everything was prepared well, the service was great, and the restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a reliable spot for Japanese curry and katsu, I'd definitely recommend it and would happily come back again.

9/27 -- 2:30 Takeout Order…read more I placed a takeout order and specifically requested extra salad dressing on the side, which I was willing to pay extra for. When I picked up my order, I even asked if the dressing was included, and I was told that they had put it in the bag. When I got home, however, there was only one dressing included. I called the restaurant to ask about it, and the employee told me that a regular takeout order does not come with dressing. If that is truly the case, does that mean the restaurant expects takeout customers to eat the cabbage without any dressing, while dine-in customers receive dressing with their meal? More importantly, if dressing is not included with takeout orders, the customer should be notified when placing or picking up the order--especially when the customer specifically asked for extra dressing and even confirmed it at pickup. I should not have to find out after getting home. On top of that, the katsu sauce container was only half-filled, despite being a 2-ounce sauce cup. Seriously? Even worse, I found a hair coming out of the sauce container, which is extremely concerning from a food hygiene standpoint. What made the experience even worse was the way my concern was handled over the phone. If you are working in customer service and someone calls with a legitimate question or complaint, there is no reason to be rude or dismissive. This was by far the worst customer experience I've had at Kagura. There were only two tables occupied when I visited, yet the restaurant couldn't even properly handle a simple takeout order. Very disappointing. The manager or owner should seriously consider providing additional hospitality and customer-service training to the lady staff. Regardless of whether there was a misunderstanding with the order, speaking disrespectfully to a customer is not an appropriate way to handle a complaint.

There was a generous amount of shredded beef on top. It covered the entire bowl! Hubby got Yukaejang with soft tofu. It was rich and spicy. Dumplings tasted homemade.

Yuk Dae Jang is a solid spot when you just want a heavy, comforting Korean lunch. We rolled in for…read morea work lunch and even though there was a good crowd inside, we got seated right away with zero wait, which is always a win when you're on a lunch break. If you're going with a few people, the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Ribs with the flat glass noodles is definitely the move. The portion easily feeds two to three. The meat is super tender and just falls off the bone, covered in a rich, spicy sauce that has a nice kick to it. The flat glass noodles soak up all that sauce, and the chunks of kabocha squash add a slight sweetness that balances out the spicy, heavy beef. Service is super fast. You get your banchan pretty much the second you sit down, and the food comes out steaming hot without a long delay. If you're looking for a quick group lunch spot where you can split something huge and spicy, it's definitely worth coming here.
