family favorite spot! we love going here to enjoy some beer and korean dishes. our go to items are the kimchi pork belly tofu, noodles with golbaengi, ob wings or korean wings, and the jokbal (cold). and if you want a soup we recommend the fish cake soup. always get a pitcher or two of coors light. this place always hit the spot. service is friendly and good. definitely recommend if you want beer and some good food. :)

It's expensive here. The food isn't even good. The chickens dry, tteokboki(spicy rice cakes) sauce is flavorless, kimchi pork stir fry is just really bad, chicken gizzards are also dry, clam soup and mussel soup are just ok, the wings' breading is too thick.. and so much more. The servers are nice but just really pricey for a place like this. It's supposed be like a neighborhood drinking spot but they charge like a rooftop bar.

OB Square is located in an older center surrounded by a few other restaurants and small businesses. It is located right of the 5 freeway at Red Hill Avenue. There's plenty of parking available. It was my first time here along with my friend. We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Friday evening. We were seated on the front left side of the restaurant. There's another section that leads to the back of the restaurant. It was pretty quiet when we were initially seated, but all the tables filled up shortly after us. There is a small tablet for each table or booth where you can order the items yourself. Be sure to drill down for each item to make your specific selections. It's not as intuitive until you start clicking on all the options. Our food came out pretty quickly after we placed the order. Be sure to ask the server for any additional sauces or spices for dipping. We requested the sesame oil and salt and chili garlic sauce which paired nicely with the gizzards. We enjoyed all of the three dishes which included spicy rice cakes, OB chicken gizzards, and OB chicken wings and ice cold beer. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. I will definitely return with more family and friends next time.

My first time at OB square and let me tell you, I already want to go back! I came on a late night and was seated immediately. Keep in mind, they set the temperature inside pretty chilly so bring a jacket if you are planning to visit in the evening. Ordering was very simple using the tablet at the table. All items had photos to go with the dish which was great for me since I am a visual person. Food came out quickly and soon after we ordered. Spicy noodles with rice cakes was delish but be prepared for the spice! I really enjoyed the corn cheese but missed the mark with the cheese pull. Overall flavor was great though and I'd order it again. My favorite dish had to be the OB fried gizzards though. I am not usually a gizzard person but we tried it anyways. Surprisingly, I kept going back in for more and it did not have any particular smell. The seasoning and batter was PERFECT. Not too much batter, crispy, crunchy, and packed with flavor. If you aren't in love with gizzards, try their wings or other fried dishes that have their 'OB' seasoning. It is an Asian style salt and pepper with onions and jalapeño.

I came here with a party of 4 on a Friday at 11pm and we were seated immediately. We ordered a wide variety of dishes including kimchi fried rice, jajangmyeon, pork belly and bok choy, and 3 dishes of chicken wings. Everything was so delicious! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the parking outside is never an issue.

Kimchi fried rice, OB wings and bulgogi hot stone pot are delicious. Friendly service, they don't rush you and treat you like family. Ample parking and attentive service.

OB Square is the spot for some delicious Korean pub food! This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. They are open til 1am everyday and 2am on Fridays and Saturdays! Inside, they have a casual setup with a good amount of seating. For their menu, they have a nice selection of different wings, noodles, and other dishes to choose from. Wifey and I opted for a spread consisting of the OB Chicken Gizzards, Black Bean Noodles, and the Garlic and Thai Chicken Wings. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here and everything hit the spot! All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend getting any of their fried chicken options. We will definitely be back for some more late night eats!

I would've never thought to come here, but so happy I did. We went on a Sunday night and there weren't too many people there. We got seated super quick and all the ladies who work there are so kind. I think we went a little over board and ordered too many things, but they were all very delicious. We started with the kimchi pancake (highly recommend) and the rolled eggs (also highly recommend). Then we moved onto their fried chicken. It was so crispy and delicious! We also had the black bean noodles and a soju cocktail mix. This is definitely a place I would revisit in the near future. :)

A great place for a big party who loves to do family style! It's a casual Korean bar-style food so it will fill you up with their big portions. They have a tablet on the table so you can order and look at the photos without asking for your server. My favorite were definitely the OB chicken wings and popcorn chicken. The texture, the crunch, the flavor were everything. Will come back for their tasty chicken!

Really cool Korean gastropub spot tucked away in an unassuming plaza. I came here on a Monday night after taking back-to-back workout classes, and was really surprised at how expansive their menu was! I feel like you could have probably gotten nearly any kind of Korean dish here. For my first visit, I shared the spicy Korean fried chicken, bulgogi fries, and black bean noodles. There's not a whole lot of staff here, but the lady who brought our food and drinks was super sweet. You order on the tablet, and food gets brought out to your table. The fried chicken was piping hot when it came out, and was smothered in a delicious sweet and spicy sauce. The black bean noodles were also good and earthy, although I wish it came with some cucumbers for freshness. The bulgogi fries were huge! Definitely comes in a shareable for up to 4 people size. It's a bit loud in there since it's more of a bar hangout vibe here. There's plenty of booths and tables that could be combined for large groups. Also, loved that they are open to around 1-2am everyday!

First time-  spicy chicken and fries! SUPER SPICY IMO
Zinnia V.

Came here five times already! My boyfriend and I love the blood sausage and crave it so much we end up driving here for drinks and that! We always end up getting other foods just because it's all so good! The OB chicken wings are so crispy and juicy, so is the pork. For the sweet and sour pork I like to put sauce on the side for the sweet and sour pork to avoid sogginess ! The spicy chicken is soo flavorful but not for the weak! If you have a high spice tolerance I'd definitely recommend. It was sooo good but spicy that tears uncontrollably dripped off my face as I ate. The service is always nice and quick and the lady's are all sweet. It's looks kinda like an old school Korean bar which makes it a cozy place to chill n vibe. Definitely will come back again and again!! :P

See all

Cannot say enough about this place. Yuk dae jang with noodles is probably one of my go to foods I…read morewill never say no to. Insides are clean and service is always on game. The mandu and bossam are great choices too and are lowkey slept on

Ironically I went out for soup because it was rainy weather but instead of getting bone broth or…read morekal-guksu, I randomly decided to get the spicy blood sausage soup. Best decision of my late night misadventures in a long time! It was very filling (you could probably order one item and split it or have plenty of food for leftovers the next day), it's not inexpensive but it's great value (but then again $20 for a meal out is kind of going rate standard so maybe it is inexpensive or comparable to most anything else you could choose?), and it's great quality. The soup is a combo meal that comes with rice, glass noodles, fish cakes in sauce, and kimchi. You can also modify the spice level to make it more mild or spicy depending on your preference. I don't know why I am so obsessed with the soup but I'm going to think about it for a while because I was 100% lost in the sauce while eating it - after you get halfway you can put the rice, part of the kimchi, and (maybe) the fish cakes in the soup so it gets closer to porridge and break up some of the blood sausage to mix it throughout. Service is friendly and can recommend different things to eat. I got my order as takeout but the dining atmosphere is really good for how close each table is to one another. Everyone still has enough space to be on their own but because you're closer together it kind of feels communal.

On a cold and rainy evening, my buddy and I headed here to eat. We were destined for another…read moreDiamond Jamboree popular restaurant, but as it was a late Saturday night, everything was packed. We ended up at Yigah, and I was so glad we did. I saw they had Galbitang...and was excited to try their version of it. But my buddy was sold on Yukkaejang... Being a fan myself..mostly because I have never found my favorite one, I agreed. We also wanted to order mandoo and bibimbap as a control. The waitress comes over and we order those three items. She tells us that we shouldn't order the bibimbap, we should order the hot stone version. I love Korean restaurants....it's way more important to order what the employee thinks is best....yes let's do it! Our food comes out and everything is delicious! The Yukkaejang is very good....but also very spicy. Definitely at the top of my threshold for spice...but I am wimpy. The stone pot bibimbap was interesting and yummy. It had a miso flavor to it...very good! The hilarious part was the mandoo seemed so bland after eating the other two dishes....just due to the intensity of flavor! The banchan was good as well. I was using the wonbok kim chee to cool down my mouth from the Yukkaejang...that's how spicy it was...lol I know we will be back...definitely for the Galbitang!
