Delicious Table has been around for as long as I can remember. It was one of the first Korean restaurants in Buena Park before all the newer plazas and spots started popping up. Walking in honestly feels like stepping back in time, in a good way. I've eaten here many times over the years, and I wanted to finally leave a review because this is one of those places you need to visit more than once to really appreciate. My go-to order is the pork rib BBQ with white rice--it's simple, but always hits the spot. The meat is flavorful and consistent every time I come. The side dishes are always delicious, and don't hesitate to ask for more--they're generous with refills. They also sell side dishes and kimchi to take home, which is a big plus. If you're craving good kimchi at a reasonable price, I definitely recommend getting some here. My mom used to make kimchi at home, but unless you're making it in large batches for the whole family, it honestly makes more sense to just buy a jar here. It saves time, money, and prevents waste. This is a place I'll keep coming back to, and I'll probably keep eating here as long as they're open. read more

This is a hidden gem that my friend introduced me to. There's a parking lot in the back that's pretty small, but there's never been an issue for us and it's conveniently by the back entrance of the restaurant. The workers are very sweet and attentive. It's a small traditional looking restaurant that has a home-y vibe to it. My friend and I always get the soy raw marinated crab. The flavor is savory and the crab is so fresh and delicious! We noticed that the last time we went that the crabs were a bit smaller, but they compensated by giving us a few more pieces so it was fine. There is a lot of banchan so one order of the crab is always enough for the both of us! We also each get a bowl of rice which is nice. This place is such a great hole in the wall and I'll definitely be back! read more

Small hole in the wall restaurant. Not the neatest or most organized restaurant but has decent tasting food. Looks like a lot of regulars come to the restaurant, mostly older Koreans. We ordered two soups & kimchee pancake. Soups were tasty & good. Kimchee pancake was mostly flour & too dense for my taste. We won't order the kimchee pancake again but will definitely get the soups again. The side dishes are good and generous. They have side dishes & other food for sale - on tables and in the refrigerators in the dining area. This makes the restaurant look messy & disorganized but I guess nobody complains about it. Many people came in & went directly to the prepared banchan & food section so those must be good too. They had a set menu for 2 people for $45 (with a fish stew main dish, side soup & small chives pancakes). We may try that next time. I would give this place 3 1/2 stars, above 3 stars but not quite a 4 star restaurant. read more

Sarah was awesome and provided the best customer service ever when we came in for the bossam and marinated crab. Both dishes were super good and authentic. Sarah gave us great tips on how to eat them Korean-style! Strongly recommend going on Sundays when she's there. I promise you you'll get the best care when you're there. We'll be coming back read more

This place is literally a hole in the wall place that you would never even think about coming to try. It's in a very ghetto building next to a liquor store with a dirty run down parking lot. Delicious Table however is a hidden gem within the million Korean food choices in the Buena Park area. You know the place is legit when literally 90% of the patrons are senior Korean auntie/uncles. What do you come here for? Quite literally for the Korean raw crab! This is one of the few places that specialize in this dish and it is super fresh and tasty here! You are given plastic gloves, a metal bowl for your scraps along with all your banchans. The crab is slightly sweet and savory and most are filled with crab roe/eggs that you pair with spoon fulls of rice. OMG the best bite if you love seafood! Yes you do have a risk of food poisoning as the HUGE sign warns you, EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. But we've visited a handful of times and never had any issues. The other delicious items here are the BBQ soy marinated pork ribs either spicy or non-spicy. The meat is like super tender galbi-tang style pork ribs that is perfectly seasoned without being overly salty. Yes they are catering to the elder crowd so most of the food is more blank and less salty. They literally give you a salt/pepper shaker to season yourself. The ox beef soup with mixed meat is also a great choice for a filler item. It comes with a variety of sliced beef and tendon, and vermicelli. The broth itself is literally straight bone broth with no seasoning. You again need to add your own salt as the auntie will remind you. They do offer a variety of banchan and side items togo on the table/fridges in the back too. The service is great here as this place is a family owned business. They literally have the whole family working in the front and back. The auntie will come help serve your soups for large parties or cut the meat or explain how to eat if you don't know how. Yes she speaks perfect english and Korean too. You just feel like it's a large family eating here as the vibes are super homie. We absolutely will be back again for all the different kinds of soups, noodles and bbq items. read more

Not the best place to get raw crab but that's because my standards are very high since my favourite raw crab place is Master Ha's up in Los Angeles which is hard to compete with! I'm dissappointed because they didn't have seaweed to eat it with. However, I loved their short rib soup very balance and flavourful and warning for the soul. Their sides are ok. The location is also in an industrial looking area. read more

Delicious soy sauce raw crabs and beef bone soup! Great services from both waitresses. Great prices! Surprisingly great food from a "hole in the wall" restaurant! The restaurant outside appearance is very run down and not even look like a normal Korean restaurant. We were very hesitant to go in after parked because not much cars at the parking lot at 1:30pm on Saturday. We decided to give it a try. Boy, so glad we did! Totally "never judge the book by its cover"!Awesome soy sauce raw crabs! Great portion and good price! The beef bone soup was good too. It is a family owned mom and pop restaurant. Service was great! We will go again! read more

I've been here twice already and so far it had been consistently good! The exterior looks a little sketchy, but I promise inside the restaurant is very homey and authentic. We came here especially for the soy marinated crab and it did not disappoint! The portions are huge and we shared between four people. Lots of side dishes as well to enjoy ;) Raw marinated Crab: 10/10 The best marinated crab ever. A good amount of meat in every piece. If it is your first time eating soy marinated crab, make sure to eat it with the rice because it is slightly salty but pairs well with the rice. They also crack the legs so you can get all the meat in the legs. They also provide the head of the crab (which imo is the best part) L.A. Galbi: 7/10 The galbi was perfectly juicy but it had a lot of fat on some of the pieces making it a little less worth it for the price. I also like my galbi a little more charred, so that is my preference. Overall, service was super attentive and I love the variety of refillable side dishes! read more

So happy to have found a place with authentic ganjang gejang (Korean soy marinated raw crab) in OC. The size of the crab is a little smaller compared to what you get in Ktown but the price here is only 1/3 of LA prices! The crabs are packed with flavor. It's a little fishy and definitely an acquired taste. In my fiancé's words: "it tastes like sea water". But that's the essence of ganjang gejang! For the perfect bite, I squeeze out the meat onto the rice and scoop up more marinade. You can also directly suck out the meat from the crab. My favorite part is when you mix rice into the roe-filled shells (second picture). We also got the spicy cold noodles (bibim naengmyun). This was SUPER flavorful. The sweet and spicy sauce was addicting and refreshing. It was a busy day but the staff was really nice and attentive. I'll definitely be back! read more

Bossam smells! Like they didnt get rid of the pork smell and they also were not tender! I don't recommend it. Also the leek pancake was too fluffy with too much flour. read more

Delicious Table is a true hidden gem when it comes to Korean cuisine. I always come here when I'm craving Korean food. Their Ssam menu is my go-to....great flavors and a really nice price. Everything tastes authentic and fresh. Easily one of the best Korean spots around. Highly recommend! read more

I wasn't going to write this review because I want to like this shop and I really do support a restaurant's hustle. But my hearts been beckoning for the past few days. Stopped in here on a rainy night and ordered bossam and dweji galbi. I've had these items here before but maybe it was just and off night? It made me sad more than angry that I wasted almost more than half the food. The bossam was old at least the days before. Resteamed or boiled (reheated) to make it look fresh. Cracks in the lean part of the meat due to the dryness. Had a hologram effect to the meat like day old meats reheated do. Trust me I do t usually shy away from the glamour but the taste and smell was porky. The dweji galbi almost tasted like it was steamed too. No char to the meat no caramelization to the sugars. The ladies were the finest the reason they got the three stars. The service was good. Delicious table, need to step up your game before the downward spiral. read more

Weekday - Dinner Party of 4 Had a casual dinner with my family here and it was great. The restaurant seems a little short staffed for when there are a lot of customers, so show them a little patience if they seem busy. But the place feels cozy, typical ma's and pa's Korean restaurant kinda vibe. We had a few different entrées but the star of the show was Soy Sauce Marinated Raw Crab aka 간장게장. Many people seem to be coming here for that too. I had nothing to complain, the crabs tasted fresh and had plenty of meat inside. It was well marinated and the sauce wasn't too salty either. I think there's been a bit of a fad over these on the social media, my sister wanted to try it and she liked it very much. If you've never had it, I'd say the texture is a bit similar to "spicy tuna" you get at sushi or poke places, or sweet shrimp/amaebi but a bit more mushier, if you've tried those. If you want to "do it right", then you gotta take the upper shell of the crab, scoop some rice and the (soy) sauce into it, and mix it around like Bibimbap. I've also come here another time with a couple of my non-Korean friends, and they absolutely loved the food here. One of my all time favorite Korean food is 알탕(Fish Roe Soup/Stew). It has chunks of cooked Fish Roe and seafood and such. It's not fishy at all and if you like spicy soups, you'll love it. Maybe come here with a few people and order a few entrées and share it with everyone family style. FYI, anything that's like $30 something or $40 something is meant to be shared with the whole table. It's not an entrée for a single person. Traditionally Koreans eat a bowl of rice along with a bowl of soup and a ton of side dishes(aka Banchaan) and an entrée like that is something the whole table shares, so don't feel bad ordering one of those with maybe 1 or 2 more people and sharing it; think of it like ordering pizza for the whole table, but. you also got rolls(bread) as well. And if I'm correct, I don't think they charge for bowls of rice, so if you need more rice after finishing a bowl, try asking! Traditional Korean restaurants don't charge for rice; that'd be like charging people for rolls/bread at an American restaurant. read more

Delicious Table - 간장게장(Soy Sauce Marinated Crab) - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

This was my first time having soy marinated raw crab and it was great! It is on the saltier side so if you aren't used to that it could hinder the experience. The sauce was great and complemented the crab well. The soy pork ribs weren't bad but the crabs were the star of the show. Service was good. Nothing to complain about on that end. It was small mom and pop place. read more

Excellent food, Great service and tastes like home made food. Everyone at DT treats you like a family, so that you feel at home.

We ordered the bulgogi (marinated beef), galbi tang (short rib soup), mando guk (dumpling rice cake soup), naengmyeon (cold noodles), and haemul pajeon (seafood pancake). I especially enjoyed the seafood pancake and the cold noodles. The beef short rib in the galbi tang was not very soft, quite chewy, but had good flavor. The bulgogi here is a must order for those who hesitate with Korean food. The mando guk was subtle and filling. The kimchi is mild, not super sour or fermented, very fresh. The other banchan was great-- seaweed, cabbage kimchi, green onion kimchi, tofu, a salty spicy thick sauce, curry potatos, and fried zucchini. I just came back from spending two months in Seoul, so this took me right back. I would order the cold noodles and seafood pancake again. Not sure why this place doesn't have a higher rating. Sure, they aren't waiting on your hand and feet, but they are quick to respond and get you what you need. That is Korean culture. They sell their side dishes a la carte in big containers, love that! read more

Not gonna lie - we were influenced by Chef David Changs recent reel on this place. Have been looking for a place outside of Koreantown (Crab House) to get this dish and jumped on the chance to try it in Buena Park. The place has an olde crowd and the owner ahjumma was super nice and cute. She mentioned that David Chang had recently visited and everyone has come in to order the crab the last few days. The red flag however in my mind was that the older crowd at the restaurant was all having stews and noodles. Nonetheless we came for crab so we ordered it! For 42.99, this is a steal of a deal. Huge plate with 4 crabs (more than enough for 2-3 people). The banchan was plentiful too. The marinade was not too salty and was delicious with the rice. The crabs are American Blue Crab (not the Korean ones imported which you'd get at Crab House in LA). There wasn't too much roe but it was still delicious - think quantity versus quality I guess. All in all, this is a great place in OC to get your craving in for marinated raw crab however if you can drive to LA (it's still worth it for the Korean one). But being that this is local, parking is easy, the ahjummas were super nice and attentive, this is still a great place. I'm looking forward to coming back to try some of their other dishes and will update our review then! read more

I've been on the hunt to fulfill my craving for soy marinated raw crab after having it in S. Korea. Food: the soy marinated raw crab and bossam are above average. It is enough satisfy my cravings. Portion: for a party of 6, we ordered 2 orders of soy marinated raw crab and 1 order of bossam. This was more than enough for our party. 1 order of soy marinated raw crab comes with 3 crabs and it's enough to fill three people. Price: half the price of that in LA Parking: behind the restaurant read more

We came on a Tuesday night and it was only us dining in. We ordered the soy marinated crab, it was really good but I wish it was more spicy. It came with a side of bean sprout soup. We also ordered the dumpling rice cake soup was good. All the food came with banchan which was plentiful and meaty. We ordered soju and we asked if they had peach flavor, they didn't know what we wanted so they asked us to shoes them at the fridge. We didn't mind but some people might. The workers knowledge of English is limited so keep that in mind when coming here. read more

Celebrated a birthday recently. The marinated soy crab was good, the rest of the food was satisfactory. A bit overpriced. Service was decent, felt a little rushed at some points and out of place being the only foreign customers at the time. We also bought an extra to-go order which added ~$30 towards the bill. Table made a bit of a mess, and I understandably helped organize plates afterward to assist the servers. It was then when the lady ran outside to tell us that the tip was low, which I believed was fair with several underlying factors included and experience being a server. Not only did it seem disrespectful, but it also made it awkward. I don't know if she expected us to hand her more money or if it felt good to her to tell us that, but it was jarring to say the least. As a server, I would never in my mind do that to a customer, and I have been tipped less for more service than they provided. If it weren't for the confrontation, we might've returned in the future. Needless to say, we won't be going back. read more

This tiny shop serves a really great soy marinated raw crab! The crab was very fresh and the marinade was perfect. Not too salty. The set comes with rice, a side of soup, and side dishes. All the sides were tasty (except the broccoli) I did not like how messy it was. Even with gloves, the crab is messy and hard to handle. The crab smell lingers on your fingers so make sure to thoroughly wash your hands! I would suggest bringing better gloves, hand sanitizer, and breath mints. I wish the service was more attentive, but it's typical for older Korean restaurants to make you flag people down for service. The pricing is fair for what we received. It's hard to find fresh marinated raw crab for that price. read more

We decided to check out this Buena Park spot thanks to a Tiktok recommendation. The location is a bit uninviting, but service is friendly and attentive. The soy sauce marinated raw crab was $42, but doesn't taste the freshest. Still, this is a very generous portion and hits the spot if you're craving or happen to be nearby already. I'd definitely skip the kimchi pancake. read more

I've started to come here since Chef David's post about ganjanggyejang. It's been satisfactory. The old ladies are working hard and are friendly. But today, I finally made the decision to stop coming here. Today, I ordered monk fish stew. It was ok for me since I prefer low sodium & not spicy. But for a normal standard, the stew was saltless & bland. I also ordered galbitang w/ radish greens. When I opened it at home, the greens were in mush pieces and had no shape or form. Obviously, it's from the bottom of the pot ( at 11:20 am) or from the day before. I called the restaurant, and the lady sounded so unbothered and mechanical that it made me mad. She just said, "yees" and hung up on me. Anotjer time I ate a chicken stew and got major diarrhea. I also noticed several times that when I ordered galbitang, the waitress took a take out container oit from the fridge in the hall where they store pre-made foods for sale, reheats, and serves it. I didn't believe it at first, but the exact same thing happened next 2 times I ordered galbitang. I respect the old ladies surviving through tje COVID & inflation a d all, but they are losing care & basic standards of food service. I'm not going back here anymore. read more

I was really wanting to try the raw, marinated Korean crab and stumbled upon reviews of this restaurant. It's definitely in an unsuspecting corner with plenty of parking. You can enter the restaurant from the front door along the street or from the back door in the parking lot. We ordered the crab to go along with some chicken and a kimchi pancake and it was so much food! They also packed plenty of rice, soup, and banchan for us too. We ended up picking up even more banchan inside from their prepackaged refrigerated section. read more

Delicious Table - Crab cheers! - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

My go to OC restaurant for full body marinated crab!! I love that there's a place in OC to get these because otherwise it's just Ktown LA. This place is a hole in the wall (irl is on the side of the street) mom and pop restaurant. English isn't the best, but food is great! Prices went up from last time I went. It's now 4 crabs for $38 and feeds 2 people. What you get is deliciously marinated crabs with a lot of sides. The food comes packed with a bag of ice so it's stays fresh. Crab.. soo good! They're soy saucy with a slight citrus tingle (best I can describe). There's a lot of eggs in each piece, so each Bite is satisfying. Tips for takeout* - feel free to reuse the sauce and marinate some hard boiled eggs!! They'll come out soy saucy/seafoody. - use scissors! For the most part, the pieces are biteable with teeth. But for enamel protection, definitely have some scissors on hand for tougher shell bits. read more

After going to Crab House, I needed to find a place to satisfy my raw crab cravings as locally as possible. Delicious Table is located on a quiet street in Buena Park with ample parking. You can definitely tell even before walking in that this is place is older and authentic feeling. The ahjummas don't need to waste time with fluffy servicing, they ask you what you want and they give it to you just as quickly. I came on a Monday night with a friend just for the raw crab. It wasn't busy at all. We were immediately served with hot barley tea and banchan. The banchan wasn't to my personal taste but solid either way. We ordered the raw crab and it was $40 for a whole large plate. For the price, you really can't beat that. There wasn't too much roe and the crab is not as meaty as others I've had but the quantity surely made up for it. Taste wise, I still really enjoyed it and definitely had some great bites mixing it with rice and sauce. Overall, it was a comforting meal and you get everything you need out of it. Definitely wouldn't mind coming back again to try other menu items ! read more

Yesterday, I wanted to eat with my kids, so I ordered a to-go order. It was bossam, agujjim, and galbitang kalguksu. The total price including tax was $138. The bossam and the radish salad seemed to be a too little, so I asked if they could give me a little more, and the old lady said no, they can't give me more because it's kitchen's work. Also I couldn't see the receipt was no ink I showed them, so I asked if it seemed like 1 item was overcharged, and they said it had an OC County tax and put the receipt case As if it's going to break (they were nervously throwing it) I didn't feel good, but I said thank you as I left, but they didn't even say bye Of course, I was going to give them a tip, but I felt bad and just marked it as zero. I don't know where they got angry, and why they seemed to be angry at us. We (my wife and I) were just asking... The agujjim tasted like soybean paste in the county, and the pork for the bossam was dry and tough. If you do business like that, who would want to come again? That kind of mindset of buying if you want to buy and not if you don't want to, is gone now. Shouldn't it be changed? read more
