This is my go-to spot whenever it's raining or cold outside. Their Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) has such a clean and refreshing flavor, and the spicy chicken stew is just as delicious. We usually order the Bossam, Jokbal (both regular and spicy), and the duck meat, and they are consistently great. Today, we tried the Kalguksu (noodle soup) for the first time, and it was very delicious. The service is always friendly and welcoming, and the food is prepared so neatly. Highly recommended if you're looking for a satisfying, clean meal! read more

This restaurant is located in a shopping mall, so parking is easy and convenient. The interior feels quite dated and could use some remodeling, which is a bit of a downside. Their signature dish is samgyetang. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful, and it has that comforting, nourishing taste. It's especially great when you're feeling under the weather. The galbitang is also very good. Looking at the menu, it seems like prices haven't increased much over the past few years. Compared to other Korean restaurants nearby, it's definitely more affordable. Service was decent overall. read more

Let's just cut to the chase Food: I should not be seen by any stretch of the imagination as an expert in Korean food. However, having been an OC local for some time with some time in Buena Park at least, I can attest that their Naengmyeon is indeed comforting without falling victim to blandness or texture that "just seems off." The pork belly and spicy pork feet are surprisingly lean without sacrificing flavor. Service: As a non-Korean speaker, there's always a slight hesitation when I enter a restaurant like Dine. But the staff were so kind helpful and checking in as my party struggled through the menu. Within minutes, I felt more welcomed like I were in somebody's home and less like a fish out of water. Ambiance: Families with kids laughing and yelling between bites. Couples both young and old sharing an intimate moment eating banchan while they wait. My post-Disneyland group exhausted eating a nourishing meal. What can be better? read more

My friends recommended this place, so I was excited to try it. The steamed pork (Bossam) was a bit dry for my taste, but the spicy Jokbal was actually pretty good. We ordered the mild level and it was perfectly balanced, not too spicy at all. I also recommend their steamed egg, it was super fluffy and light. The rice ball was pretty good too. read more

Dine Korean Restaurant - Bossam - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

My wife and mother in law was feeling a bit under the weather after a bridal shower so we're in the area and I found this place on Yelp. There's ample of parking as it's in a shopping plaza. We were able to park right in the front. When we got there around 5:30pm Saturday, there were only a couple other tables so we were seated right away. But as time elapsed, more people showed and it started to get packed but it's a fairly big restaurant so there's enough tables to accommodate. We ordered the ginseng chicken soup w medicinal herbs and ginseng chicken and abalone porridge. They both felt the flavor was blend and lacking and ended up taking both entrees to go so they can make it better at home. My wife did ask about the chicken whether it was tender or dry and she felt the chicken was tender. The waitress did not bring the side dishes until the food arrived which we thought was odd considering all of the other Korean restaurants we've been to always bring it way before your main dish arrives but my wife and mother in law did not like any of them as they felt they were too salty. Overall: the food was blend in a healthy way but if you want it tasty then this is def not the spot. We did see majority of the people ordering pork and chicken feet. As non-Koreans, we're not familiar with those dishes and they did not recommend or explain the menu at all. read more

DINE Korean restaurant needs to be on your list of places to visit in the OC. It's a true Korean family owned restaurant that churns out high quality, authentic cuisine. My wife and I had: Seafood pa-Jun (aka seafood pancake) and Galbijjim (aka beef rib). It came banchan, which are complimentary side dishes at Korean restaurants. I recommend everything! You must come visit for high quality food. read more

The food is delicious here. I especially love the steamed egg. The service is good but there is one waitress who puts in her opinion a little too much and expects you to get what she recommends. I've been there a couple of times and she has a big problem whenever I ask for soy sauce. More than once she gave me another sauce and tells me its better than soy sauce which it was not to me. It's also more on the pricey side here but the food is worth it. I continue to come back. read more

Very authentic Korean food. I would definitely recommend the seafood pancake in addition to whatever entree you order! I got the bulgogi/soup combo, and it was perfect. Great value. The ladies that work here are friendly and helpful, too. The place itself has a lot of booths and tables, clean. This is our new go-to spot for Korean. read more

My favorite Korean restaurant in Buena Park. Get the combo with the short ribs and pork belly. Better than Yedang.

Came here numerous times, but most recently May 2023. Food: Authentic Korean food. 90% of the customers are Korean immigrants. Speciality is in Korean pork dishes (braised, steamed), and other braised fish. Lots of good stews as well. Service: If you don't speak Korean, just point to what you want on the menu or say it in English. Other than that, waitresses are friendly and motherly. Ambiance: Not a date spot, not a high-end spot. Just real, hearty, authentic Korean food. read more

Stumbled upon this cute little Korean restaurant and I'm so glad we decided to eat here. OC has so much good Korean food and this place is definitely a hidden gem! The portions are massive, the kimchi is fresh, the ahjummas are adorable. For the quality of food, I think the prices are very reasonable. I've always heard about all the benefits of ginseng and I finally got to try it here ! My bf also really liked his grilled octopus fried rice and soybean paste stew. I'll be back :) read more

Dine was so good. I came with some friends and ordered a bunch of things on their menu. We ordered gamjatang, sliced smoked duck, steamed egg, seafood pancake, dolsot bibimbap, and their bossam. Everything was so good and seasoned very well. We came here randomly because we were craving Korean food but definitely satisfied our cravings. I don't really eat duck but their sliced smoked duck was so yummy. Their side dishes were also delicious. I highly recommend this Korean restaurant!! read more

This place is good-- nothing over the top but nothing bad either it was just good, they don't really have a specialty in my opinion and it's just overall good Korean food. We went during a very slow time, it was around 4PM so it's right between being late lunch or very early dinner. The lady was busy doing multiple things by herself so we were waiting but even after we flagged her, she seemed to be busy in the kitchen and on the phone ... We were contemplating whether to leave or not because we were just sitting there... When entering the restaurant, on their door they advertise that they specialize in "jechup" clams from a specific area in South Korea. So automatically I thought that would be their specialty but further looking through the menu we quickly realized that ... there were MANY specialties at this restaurant and that isn't BAD-- they are just good at everything. We ordered COMBO 2 - Medium smoked duck plate+ Braised pork belly + soybean soup + steamed egg ($95) everything was decent. Nothing stood out to be bad but nothing stood out to be great. Good food. I ordered the clam stone pot bibimbap and side of clam soup - I wasn't sure it was worth being advertised as their specialty. It was good but it wasn't "WOW THIS IS A MUST AT THIS RESTUARANT" The soup is under seasoned but it does bring out the unique clam flavor. I live in LA so this restaurant wouldn't be a must visit when I'm in town but if I lived close by it would be somewhere I'd go when I want a variety of choices. There isn't a specific item on the menu I'd recommend to people but I believe this restaurant is pretty decent at doing everything on their menu. read more

Dine Korean Restaurant - Chicken Ginseng and Spicy Beef Soup - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

I have been driving by this restaurant for many years and have always thought of visiting to try the food. A friend suggested to meet here and I was glad we had picked this restaurant. The server greeted us pleasantly... this is a good start. We ordered the seafood pancake (this was recommended by a fellow yelper), buckwheat noodles with vegetables, and grilled squid on hot stone plate. We were served banchan (side dishes) while our order was bein prepared. All the banchan were quite tasty, but some of it was a bit salty for my taste. The seafood pancake did not disappoint! The crust was crisp and the seafood tender and flavorful. Not too much batter nor green onions. I strongly recommend it. =) The grilled squid on hot stone plate was very good too. The sauce was slightly on the sweet side for me but enough spicy heat to make the taste just right. The buckwheat noodles with vegetables were not as good as I expected, and I do not recommend it personally. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice too. I would recommend this place overall and strongly suggest that you order the seafood pancakes!! read more

Decided to visit Dine Korean Restaurant after our fun Sunday Adventure and this restaurant didn't disappoint. We ordered several dishes and ate family style. We ordered the Large order of Bossam, spicy beef soup, seafood pancake and steamed egg. Our favorite items were the seafood pancake and spicy beef soup. The seafood pancake was cooked to perfection. It was crunchy and they were very generous with the seafood and green onion. The spicy beef soup had the right amount of spice and it was not very heavy. We loved that this restaurant gave a great variety of side dishes. Our favorite was the stir fry seaweed, broccoli with crumbled tofu, and rolled omelet. This place follows COVID protocol and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. We can't wait to come back and ordered other dishes from their extensive menu. read more

Food - cheaper & better than I thought Service - seemed nice enough but not overly attentive. Maybe we came too late . Around 2:20pm. Btw they closed at 3pm Ambiance- clean with practical set up Mackerel set - kids love the mackerel & purple rice Pork hock set - I like it . Always want to try this without purchasing the whole things Bulgogi beef - hubby likes it Seafood bibimbap - delicious Chicken gingsenx soup - I am not a fan of this. Dad couldn't finish everything so I tried it too The fermented bean soup that came with the set is ok. Nothing special Will definitely come back if I am in this area read more

Service: 3 stars Food: 2 stars Price: 2 stars Braised spicy beef ribs: -1 There were only two servers on Friday night. At one point, they told us to go grab a can of soda from the fridge. Food took forever. If they're going to charge $70 for the ribs, at least have the decency to put some meat. They were the rib soup bones with only little bits of meat on the side of the bones. Even those pieces were burnt. Bossam, which is the pork belly slices that you wrap in lettuce or cabbage, mediocre. I'm probably not going to come back read more

Now hear me out. I heard this place served Chinese-style "malatang" (~$50) and I wanted to try it out. As you may have surmised, it IS the spicy, numb-inducing soup you've seen ad nauseam on social media. ( As of this review, there are no pics of this menu item in yelp) This restaurant serves this dish "jungol" style which literally translates to hot pot. It should be shared with multiple people, but I won't judge. It's a huge dish as you can see from my pics. The flavor is actually good. I may be an outlier, but I'd rather have a little more of the numbing, but for first timers, this is a valid entry. I'm good with spice and this has a serious kick. There is plenty of meat and veggies. I went with some big boys and we each needed two bowls of rice. Keep in mind they charge you per bowl. (~$1.50) I suggest you come with a group of 4-5 and DINE on this dish. My review is based on this dish alone. I can't speak of the other food as I did not eat anything else. read more

The food was good, however be careful who you talk to. We were enjoying our food, and we ordered plenty of food during lunch time - over $100 worth for only 3 people. Asked for a refill on the side dishes once and the lady completely insulted us, and said that we were eating too much and bothering her by asking for more banchan. She has short hair (like a bob) and wears eye glasses. However, there was a lady with eye glasses and a ponytail who was kind and offered nice service. Sad that a good meal was ruined by the comment made by the server. Be aware! read more

What a solid traditional Korean restaurant! Buena Park has turned into the next Koreatown--similar to that of LA--many of the Korean restaurants are Korean in nature but still lean more towards being hipster and trendy to. Here, they stick to the traditional/mom's cooking-type Korean dishes. They offer dishes such as galbi jjim (braised beef short ribs with potato and rice cake), bossam (broiled sliced pork) with pickled spicy radish kimchi and a bean paste dip, ssam bab (meat choices of pork or beef) that comes with a vegetable platter consisting of lettuce wedges, sliced raw garlic and jalapeño, perilla leaf, cucumbers, and carrots, as well as many other traditional Korean dishes. By far, this place has one of the best galbi jjim that I have tasted thus far. The broth of this dish was superb and so nolstagic! I ended up dumping my rice into this broth--that's how good! As far as the other dishes that I ordered (broiled sliced pork and bean paste stew), they were solid but not as reminiscent. Will definitely come back to get the galbi jjim craving satiated! read more

Although slightly salty, this was the best spicy pork feet I have tried. The food here is slightly more expensive than other Korean restaurants in the area, but I think it's still worth for the quality. I also recommend the bossam. read more

Wow, the broth was immensely thick and dense with chickeness almost comparible to the level from my favorite chicken soup place in Seoul, nonhyun samgyetang. The previous negative experience didn't make sense so had to quickly schedule for a revisit and follow up just to make sure that my review was not misleading. Yes, previously mentioned shortcoming (the "mishandled" stuffing inside the chicken) looks more like an unusual mistake that occured on that particular day. read more

And there's so much food in the one serving that I even had leftovers for the next day. read more

Typical Korean restaurant with good food and chill vibes. We were sat immediately on a Tuesday night and it wasn't busy, just a couple families. We ordered a bunch of food and it actually came out really fast. We ordered the bossam (pork belly) and they brought out this burner with this pink gel stuff that they lit on fire to keep the bossam warm. The steamed egg was really good - they put sesame seeds into the mixture which added an extra little nutty taste which was interesting. The spicy marinated pork was also delicious, and the combo with the soybean stew was good (more watery like soup than stew though). Overall, a nice quiet night out to eat some hearty Korean food, decent spot! read more

We arrived just before the dinner rush hour! We ordered combo 2 and the main proteins were smoked duck and pork belly. So many good banchans were provided like pajeon and kkakdugi. There was soybean stew and a giant pot of steamed eggs. The smoked belly was served room temperature and the pork belly was served hot. We were also provide a tray of lettuce, cabbage, sesame leaves and another tray of dressed chive salad. The duck was slightly salty but worked so well with the spicy chive salad. Dip it in a bit of honey mustard and it's perfection. The assortment of kimchi banchan also worked well the the pork belly - just wrap a little bit of everything in lettuce. Service was alright since it started to get busy and there were only two servers. Our server was sweet and still spoke to us in Korean even though my friend and I don't speak lol. I would say this is my top 3 Korean restaurants in Orange County. Definitely will come here again! read more

This place is legit. Very simple menu with good food. The service could be better but it's typical of most Korean restaurants. The Korean seafood pancake was really crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Really like this one because a lot of places I go to make this really soft and mushy or over done. The one here was just perfect to my liking. The bosam here is really good. Thought it was interesting that they served it with some regular lettuce along with napa cabbage. Either way it was good. A little conservative on the oysters but overall still delicious. The nangmyun was good. I don't know any place that messes this up. Spicy pork was good as well. Good flavor and cooked perfectly. Overall a solid Korean restaurant. read more
