The eel was fresh, thick, and delicious when grilled over charcoal. It had a wonderful smoky flavor, with a lightly crisp exterior and a tender, flavorful texture inside. The service was attentive and friendly, and the banchan selection was also excellent.

Food is good. Service is way too slow. Every menu u order takes 20 minutes or more. AC isn't working well the restaurant is way too hot. I was waiting in front of fire for about 30 minutes because the food wasn't coming out. We order rice and it's not even one person portion.

best eel i've ever had. came back twice in 5 days. Super low key spot, this place needs to get more business because i'm gonna need this place to stay in business forever. Ordered the grilled Eel and cold noodles. So fire. we ordered a second eel and they gave us an extra one. The grill has charcoals in it and it really elevates the flavors. the Mung bean pancake is so crispy too. my only wish is that there was also one in Long Beach. haha

Recommended by my friend. When I first walked in, it was full of people. When I sat down, the server came right away and took our order. He gave us recommendations to what to order. 2 orders of bbq eel seemed bit too little but when we finished, it was alot. Three of us were full. We also ordered steamed egg but honestly didn't meet my expectation. We also had kimchi noodle and it was surprising good after all that protein. Sides dishes, the fresh sliced garlic and ssam veggies were refilled unlimited. At the beginning, I thought price was bit high but after I ate the food, the price was very reasonable. For serive, our waiter was super friendly, easy to talk to and very professional. I highly recommend this place if you like fresh eel.

Eel Village (장어 마을) charcoal-grilled eel and Korean BBQ. Walking into Eel Village, the air is thick with the tantalizing aroma of charcoal smoke and sizzling meat, instantly setting the stage for a memorable Korean BBQ experience. The star of the menu, the charcoal-grilled eel, arrives at the table, juicy and ready to finish cooking on your table top charcoal grill. Their short ribs are tender and flavorful. Vibrant banchan, cozy vibe, great portions. Finish it off with Cold Buckwheat Noodles. Service for our table was great. Very attentative even though they were busy. This is not all you can eat. Check out the menu and you will realise how affordable and tasty this place can be.

Ordered two orders of the grilled eel, which they said is their most popular item (one eel is $50). The service here is amazing, they threw in a third free eel for us because one of the eels was apparently small even though it looked normal size and also had complimentary stew at the end. This amount was perfect for two of us without feeling too full. This is our first time trying Korean grilled eel. They grill and cut it for you and it's nice and crispy on the outside and soft/jelly like on the inside. They gave us multiple types of wraps including lettuce wraps, perilla leaf wraps, and some sort of pre marinate perilla leaf wrap. I enjoyed it the most with lettuce and wasn't a huge fan of the perilla leaves. They also come with different dipping sauces as well (one that came with the lettuce/perilla leaves which was a bit salty, eel sauce, and a spicy eel sauce. The banchan here is also good. Parking is easy as it's located in a food plaza.

I brought my mom and family here for dinner and we ordered the Special Assorted Sashimi Course,…read morewhich comes with a mix of live fish and seasonal aged sashimi. There was SO much food! The sashimi was fresh and delicious, but I was also really impressed by everything that came with the course. We had live octopus, abalone, uni, tempura, corn cheese, marinated shrimp and crab, and so many other side dishes. The owner took the time to explain the different fish and recommended trying the sashimi with truffle salt first. I had never tried it that way before, and it was surprisingly good. One thing I found interesting is that they receive fresh fish flown in directly from Korea every week, and their uni comes in fresh from Long Beach twice a week. Their KakaoTalk channel also shares updates when new fish shipments arrive, so you can actually check what's coming in before you visit. Definitely add their KakaoTalk channel before you go because they run different promotions there. When we visited, adding the channel came with complimentary mulhoe + a bottle of alcohol. They also take sashimi pre-orders through KakaoTalk, and there was an extra abalone offer with a pre-order. Promotions can change, so I would check the current offer before visiting. I also liked how clean and comfortable the restaurant felt. Unlike some Korean sashimi restaurants, there isn't a huge fish tank dominating the dining area or a strong seafood smell. My kids normally love looking at live fish, but I actually liked this atmosphere better. And save room for the spicy fish stew at the end! We had it with nurungji and they were so good together. Between the sashimi and all the side dishes, it really felt like a full Korean-style sashimi experience. It's located inside The Source OC in Buena Park, and the parking structure is large and free, which makes it super convenient. We had so much food that I even brought my sister along. Definitely a nice place to bring your parents or family when you're craving a proper Korean sashimi dinner.

It was not crowded at all on a Monday afternoon. They gave us extra miso soup, ginger, and wasabi. Then, at the end, they gave us free Mochinut as dessert into a to-go box. Overall, it was quite tasty. However, prices are kind of on the more expensive side. They have a lot of seafood on their menu, but it was too pricey for our liking. Service was prompt, and they have a kiosk on the table where you can order from. It was helpful since it contains all the ingredients and pictures. I would recommend this place to seafood lovers if you don't mind paying a little extra.

The first thing you notice is the atmosphere and the staff. You're immediately greeted with a warm, friendly vibe that sets the tone for the entire experience. It's the kind of place where two friends can sit down, catch up, and easily spend hours just talking, eating, and drinking without ever feeling rushed. The food is solid, and the menu items work perfectly as shared plates for drinks. The portions are very generous and honestly it is hard to finish everything at the table even when you come hungry. What stood out to me most was how the servers manage the balance between attentiveness and privacy. They're always around when you need something, but once the conversation starts and the table settles in, they naturally give you space and respect your moment. That kind of awareness is rare and really appreciated. The seating layout also makes a difference. It's not overly open, which makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a few drinks after a long day. For nights when you finally have a bit of time to unwind with friend, it really hits the spot. Overall, Kuni is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a girls night out.

Two older female servers gave us lots of time to go through the menu. We got a sashimi combo medium sized, enough for 4 people at least. There are so many accompanying side dishes that we really should not have added anything else to our dinner. Food came out in quick succession . The sashimi combo includes cheese corn on an iron skillet, mixed tempura shrimp and vegetables, spicy fish stew at the end served with rice, numerous banchan like seaweed, edamame and kimchi. Really very tasty abalone is part of the combo, and squid wasabi. Simple tabletops and spacious dining room, with bamboo separating tables. Clean and quiet. A bit pricey but good for special occasions, not a weekly splurge.

Came here to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday…read more Our party had 3 people and we came for an early dinner on a weekday. There was maybe one or two other parties there. Their menu specializes in Korean style premium seafood items. They have the option of live or not. They had different set options and items you can get a la carte. We went with their live fish and sashimi set C. We also got some live shrimp and live octopus to try. I love that the staff was super knowledgeable and explained everything to us. The live set included a lot of side dishes. It also included halibut and flounder, a platter of abalone, sea cucumber, cold soup, hot fish soup, calamari and vegetable tempura. All of which were amazing and tasted very fresh. The live octopus was definitely an experience. They tasted fresh and sweet and were very actively moving. If you want to try it I would definitely recommend trying it here. The chef was nice enough to have us try two types of nigiri. Both were amazing and fatty. The whole dinner was quite an experience. Since there were so many dishes they made sure to go in order but not rush us since many items were coming out. The staff was super attentive. Many items came with its own sauce so they made sure we were doing it right. We spent about $400 for 3 people which included alcohol. I thought it was fair especially for how fresh our seafood was. The inside of the restaurant is pretty casual but clean. You can also see most of the seafood items. I recommend if if you want live seafood items Korean style. We will be back.

Honestly, I don't understand why anyone would come here. On average, a party of 4 is spending…read morearound $400. The quality of the fish is mediocre, I've had better at the X-fish right across the street. The side dishes are also mid and bland. There is nothing memorable about the service here. It's just whatever. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. Honestly, going to an omakase spot is better for a similar price point.

This review I assume is the OG on Garden Grove -- parking could be tough during the weekend. OC & La, is a Vietnamese seafood spot for sharing a bunch of dishes. I found out that "OC" means snails! I thought it was Orange County! Hahaha. We tried - razor clams, scallops (HUGE), the selection of salads are amazing so we got the spicy mango - House Special Mango Salad with squid & escargot -- is spicy , tangy, refreshing, and the refreshing taste! My favorite dish was the HUGE fried fish...color is amazing and the way the fish was presented seal the deal for me. Between two people, we devoured the entire fish !! It's the kind of place where you order "just a few things" and suddenly the entire table is covered in food. But, I'm not complaining since the team is very quick in getting the used plates off our tables. Also, both places offered FREE dessert. It's like a coconut based taro and other root sweet dish.

The most recent time, we came at 8:30pm on weekday and there were 29 parties ahead of us (LOL), soooo plan ahead and join the waitlist through yelp. We probably waited about 30 minutes.
