Had a great lunch at the H Mart food court. The pizza was on point, and the spicy soy garlic chicken was juicy and full of flavor. It was a quick stop,we waited about 15-20 minutes for the food. The place was busy with people shopping, which added to the atmosphere, and I like that it's connected to the store. Even though the space is small, the food was excellent. The staff member working was very nice and helpful. I will definitely come back. read more

I was craving pizza and came across this Korean fusion fried chicken and pizza place! I was very intrigued by their sweet potato pizza so I definitely had to try that. Since it was just me, I didn't get anything else, but would love to try their fried chicken someday. The store is located inside H Mart on the right side, it's the last stall at the end. There was no line when I got there and I ordered a medium pizza in person, which took about 15 minutes to prepare. The flavor of the sweet potato wasn't too strong and actually went well with the cheese. There's bits of other fun toppings on their like sausage, pineapple, and onion, and the sauce on top was like a sweet kewpie mayo. I was very filled after two slices! I would definitely go again to try their other pizza options. read more

This place is tucked in the corner of the Hmart food court. Parking in this plaza in general is a little crowded. Food came out pretty quick and we just sat in the food court and ate. Note that they didn't have free water here. I shared a pizza with one other person and this was too much for us and we had leftovers to bring home. The servings overall here seem pretty big so I would recommend trying to go in a group of at least 3 if you don't want leftovers The spicy bulgogi potato and the sweet potato were both really good and I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu. The bulgogi potato also had a good amount of spice for sure read more

We got the spicy cheese chicken here for $20. The chicken pieces were crispy and not dry, but the flavor was different from what I had expected. It tasted more like a spicy cheese chicken pizza without the pizza dough than spicy cheese chicken from other Korean restaurants. It's missing the gochujang and spice, but still made for a good meal though. read more

We've never had Pala food before but had a good experience at another location under the previous name LL, I think in La Habra some years ago. We ordered the combo with pizza and chicken. We enjoyed the spicy Bulgogi pizza. The chicken had a good flavor and the rice cakes included were a nice surprise. One thing we were not happy with was the type and quality of chicken pieces. It was like part of the spine, and there was barely any meat on it. My suggestion is just to go with the wings and not the whole chicken pieces because they're not meaty pieces to enjoy. Several pieces were just bones and sparse meat that were not truly edible. And for the money spent, we were still a little hungry afterwards. There were three of us. We might return but so many other Korean chicken options nearby. read more

Love Letter Pizza & Chicken is located in the H Mart in the Diamond Jamboree Plaza. Parking can be a challenge, however, there is a parking structure in the back. There isn't an abundance of tables and seats and restrooms are in the far right corner. I had to ring the bell to get attention as there was no one in the front. Customer service wasn't exactly friendly nor was he rude, he wasn't really passionate about being there either. We placed our order for bulgogi pizza, mozzarella sticks and garlic popcorn chicken. Out of everything we ordered, the mozzarella sticks was our fave. I wouldn't crave anything else. read more

The quality of food went downhill! We've been coming here since it opened but last Friday Oct 10 was the worst tasting pizza we have ever tasted! The crust tasted like paper! and the pizza toppings are definitely not korean inspired or fresh at all it's hard to describe but it is better to be thrown out in the trash:( Good bye to this pizza and chicken place inside HMART in Diamond Jamboree area. read more

The sweet potato filled crust is extra but it's a must. Tbh I wish they sold just the crust with the filling. The pizza itself it thin and when you pick it up everything falls off. I tried cutting it with a knife but that was no help either. It's still yummy and I would go back. The server was nice and helpful. I would recommend calling and picking up to avoid any waiting. read more

Finally get to try the infamous Love Letter pizza. I did not disappointment. Tried the Bulgogi and Potato pizza today and just requested "no ham" so it won't conflict with the Bulgogi flavor. The Beef was good, a little under seasoned. All the other veggies were tasty and cooked well. The special white sauce, I believe is just mayo or QP, because of its sweetness. A little out of the box for traditional pizza but love a good spin on classics. The dough was fresh and soft, well baked. The store front was a little underwhelming, but the cashier made up for it. He was friendly and gave us good recommendations. Needs a little bit of rebranding or just more simplistic decor. Looks a little cluttered and trying to give you too much information. Would def return for the pizza but not the ambiance, ate my pizza in the car as the H Mart smells like fish as soon as you come in. read more

One of the best pizzas I've ever had! The crust was so crispy and had the perfect chewiness, and the toppings were such a good combination of sweet and savory. The pieces of bulgogi, sweet potato and veggies matched really well with the sauce. The fried chicken is also really tender and crispy. I will definitely have to come back for more! read more

Good pizza, great service, average wings. I tried the Spicy Bulgogi Potato Pizza and 20 wings, half hot and spicy and half soy garlic. I enjoyed the pizza! It's so different than traditional American pizza. On Asian/Korean pizza, the more toppings the better! Haha I enjoyed the corn and all the veggies on the pizza. It was also pretty spicy! I expected I was going to need to add red pepper flakes and/or sriracha, but I did bot. The crust itself felt and tasted more like bread than crust. It was pillowy and had a light bake. A pretty different take on pizza but overall tasty! I personally didn't care much for the wings. The fry on them wasn't great as the wings were soggy and the skin almost seemed gummy. The flavors of the sauces were alright but much too sweet for me. I stuck the wings in the air fryer the next day and they got a bit crispy... they were much better. Overall, I will continue to go to Bonchon or BBQ chicken for the best Korean wings. I would've rated this place 3 stars overall but the person who took my order was just so darn nice and friendly! He made me smile. He said the order would take 20-25 minutes so we walked around Hmart. To our surprise, the order was done in about 15 minutes. Overall, I'd come back for pizza but I'd skip the wings! read more

Food always great! Love their hot and spicy whole chicken or chicken wings. I always call in and they take about 15-20min each time. Food is consistently hot and fresh. It is located in Hmart so it's always lively and loud. Definitely recommend if you like fried chicken. read more

This past weekend my wife, my wife's younger sister, my brother-in-law, and I drove up to the Orange County Fairgrounds to meet up with my daughter, so that we can experience the OC Japan Fair for the first time. We got to the Japan Fair around 2pm and since there were an army of food vendors, we grubbed on some Japanese dishes. We ended our excursion to the Japan Fair around 7pm and decided to find a place to eat dinner. My wife wanted to indulge in some desserts and found a spot that was closeby. I'm more of a savory foodie, so I was glad that Love Letter Pizza & Chicken was next to the dessert place. The chicken from Love Letter was finger licking delicious and definitely satisfied my craving for savory. Love Letter is located in the Irvine area, specifically off of Jamboree and within a bustling, overcrowded outdoor strip mall that houses extremely popular restaurants. Kura Revolving Sushi Bar and BCD Tofu House are also located in the same center. Parking at this strip mall can be painful especially if you're visiting on the weekend during peak meal hours. Thankfully, Love Letter is one of three restaurants that can be found within the H Mart grocery store where the parking isn't as bad since it's away from the hustle and bustle. There is also a parking garage in case you have difficulty finding parking. As you enter H Mart, Love Letter is located where there is a food court towards the back. There are plenty of tables and chairs to chow down on your food. The customer service from the young Asian dude was friendly and appreciated. There are only three restaurant options inside H Mart's food court: dessert, ramen, and chicken/pizza. The ramen place was closed and I wasn't in the mood for dessert, so I gravitated towards Love Letter to satisfy my hunger. As I perused the menu, I thought their food was on the pricey side. I decided to order their chicken wings because I liked that there were different flavors I could choose from. I wasn't looking to stuff my face, so I ordered 10 chicken wings and selected the following as my flavors: Original Crispy Fried and Soy Garlic. What I really enjoyed about Love Letter's chicken is that they were hearty, tasty, and were finger licking yummy-licious. I wish I had ordered a side of white rice to go with the scrumptious chicken. The chicken was so filling that I was able to bring some home for left overs. I ate the chicken two days later at work and they tasted good after heating them in the microwave. Lastly, don't forget to ask for their vinegar radish and cabbage salad with thousand dressing. If you ever visit this overcrowded dining destination during peak mealtime hours and don't want to wait for hours to eat, then know that Love Letter is just around the corner inside H Mart. I definitely want to try their pizza next time, but I'll make sure to order rice to go with Love Letter's flavorful chicken. read more

This was my first time trying Love Letter Pizza. I've always seen it when I visit H Mart but never stopped to try it. I will never not get a pizza when I visit H Mart now. It's off to the side when you walk in, there are a few tables to eat at. I highly recommend just eating it there. The crust was so crisp and all the toppings were so good! I will definitely be trying all of the different Bulgogi pizzas and try some wings next time! read more

Pretty good Korean fried chicken place. When you order "sauced, mild" that is the same level as good old "sweet n spicy" level = YangNyeom that every Koreans know. So just be aware of the spicy level cuz if you order online, it doesnt explain much details. The taste wise, it's really good. I say it's better than its predecessor Love Letter. The new store w new owner knows how to make the sauce better. The fried chicken also seems to be using better oil than its neighbor bbq chicken. If you would like clean after taste, and yummy fried chicken, i recommend this place over bbq chicken. read more

Really surprised me. Not only the bulgogi pizza tasted good, but their special gold crust really took it home. Really enjoyed the crust. Basically a sweet potato mousse crust. It really pairs well with the pizza. Such interesting and complex flavors the crust have. A bit of sweet and salty. Definitely will be trying more The bulgogi potato pizza again, is solid, you can actually taste both ingredients. Their sauce also compliments it. read more

First off the chicken here is pretty good! The flavors are great but I'm always a fan of the original. Original is always crispy and juicy. I've gotten the popcorn chicken here but I would suggest to sticking to the real wings/drumsticks etc. I also had my first experience with korean pizza and I enjoyed it. It was sweet and tasty. I do think that style of pizza isn't for everyone though so keep that in mind! The sweet potato pizza was overall good but I do wish it had a bit more sausage on it. Service is pretty quick and if you ever need suggestions ask him. It's located in the corner of HMart and the food court doesn't get too busy so it's usually a nice place to sit down and eat. read more

Unique pizza, dreamed up with korean flavors! After keeping this place saved in my bookmarks, we finally decided to try it out today. Love letter is a small storefront located inside the H Mart at Diamond Jamboree. You can order ahead online or by phone, and the service is friendly, and the associate was helpful with suggestions and what's popular. My family shared a large bulgogi potato pizza, which had a white drizzle, which tasted like kewpie mayo. They load the pizza with toppings, this one included corn, bell pepper, onion, and tomato sauce. At first, it didn't make sense. The combination had great elements. Everything was well cooked, but it's not like any pizza you'd ever expect. But the second slice got me! It's not supposed to be any other pizza. It's supposed to be completely unique, and it's actually really good. The crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings are all well cooked and delicious. I was surprised how small and tucked away the storefront was when we arrived, but it's was a good adventurous bite. I've heard good things about their wings so we will be back! read more

I've been finding myself craving the pizzas from here! I'm usually not a huge fan of pizza, especially when it's really oily, so this place is perfect! My go-to is the Bulgogi Potato pizza. I love having little pieces of potato on there. There is this white sauce on the pizza that makes it even more delicious too. I've gotten it with the Gold Crust aka sweet potato mousse in the crust, and mmmmmm, delicious. Adds more variety to the crust that just...crust. We called in our order and their time estimate is on point! They told us 20 minutes and our pizza was ready right at 20 minutes. read more

This location of Love Letter is located inside of the H-mart supermarket in Diamond Jamboree. I was watching Korean dramas and watching the characters eat Korean Fried Chicken and started to really crave some too. I convinced my friend to share Love Letter's famous pizza and Korean fried chicken combo with me. We ordered the Combo 05 ($36.98) which comes with the Sweet Potato Gold Pizza with a Whole Chicken and a 2 Liter drink - coke or sprite. The sweet potato pizza comes with onions, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, sausage, corn, pineapple, ham, cheese and white sauce. The gold crust makes the crust filled with sweet potato also. The pizza tastes as good as it looks and the gold crust makes it very unique. I actually enjoyed the pizza fresh and as a leftover the next day. For the whole chicken, we opted for a half original fried chicken and half spicy garlic. It also came with fresh radish to complement the chicken. The fried chicken was good but lacking crispiness since it was a togo order. It was definitely best fresh. The spicy garlic was good fresh but still good as a leftover. The spicy was a tad too spicy for me but my friend said it was a good amount of spicy. Somehow pizza and chicken works together in every cultures and the Korean version of pizza and chicken is amazing. I think other Korean fried chicken places are better but because I like the pizza here I would come back mostly for the pizza and get the chicken also while I'm here for the deal. I would definitely come back the next time I have a craving for Korean pizza and chicken. read more

Don't waste your time coming here. Probably the driest chicken you'll ever eat and the saddest bulgogi pizza you'll ever eat. Soy Garlic Chicken: 2/10 Extremely dry. I've added a picture of how dry it was but the picture doesn't do it justice. Imagine you're touching a dry towel. That's the texture. No moisture at all. I give it 2/10 stars because at least the sauce wasn't too bad. We only ate one piece and we couldn't eat more. I don't think you can even revive this. I've never had chicken this dry. Maybe it was just my batch or there was a new person in charge today but if you have a dry chicken contest, this would win first place. Spicy Bulgogi Potato Pizza (large): 3/10 How is this a "Bulgogi" Pizza when it only has like 8 pieces of bulgogi on this whole pizza?? Each slice of pizza had 1 piece of bulgogi. I also ordered a large. They sprinkled like 8 pieces so that each slice may or may not have a slice of bulgogi. This pizza also has "potato" in its name and had like maybe 3 or 4 small pieces of tiny potatoes bits sprinkled on it too. Like sure bulgogi's expensive but potato? They probably used only a quarter of a potato for this whole pizza. Also in the name is "spicy" but this pizza had no spice. Lastly, there were random chunks of sausage sprinkled on this, like the breakfast sausage, but when you bite into it, it has a strong freezer scent. Also! make sure to ask the guy to include the radish. All korean fried chicken places I go to just add the radish but this place didn't so don't forget to ask for it! I've tried other Love Letter locations and they were all comparatively way better than this. This location really misrepresents Korean Fried Chicken and Korean Style Pizza. So sad. $43 for a large pizza and half a chicken read more

I was craving a Korean-style pizza fix (the sweet potato mousse), so I was excited to find and try this hidden gem inside the H-mart. It's a part of the food court inside the store, so it can get pretty crowded regular lunch or dinner hours. The seated area is limited with 4-5 other restaurants in the corner, so keep that in mind. We ordered takeout on a Thursday evening, and it was ready in 20 minutes. We got the large sweet potato gold pizza - it was great! It definitely satisfied my cravings , and the size was pretty fair. Can't speak to the other food there, but they had a lot of other options like chicken and various pizza toppings/styles. Can't wait to try some of the other flavors and see how they compare. read more

Honestly, the chicken here is just average. Maybe I'm spoiled with all the good chicken spots I've tried recently, but the crispy chicken here is just a step behind when comparing other chicken shops to Love Letter. Located in the Hmart, I was surprised to find staff handing out free gloves! Although I didn't come for shopping, you'll still have to enter the Hmart then make a right and go down to the end until you reach the corner. If you ordered over the phone food takes about 30 minutes. I got a full sized crispy chicken box with sweet and spicy sauce (they charge $2.00) for sauce, keep that in mind. While the order comes out made to order, something about it was off. Maybe it was the fact that it wasn't as crunchy as I thought due to the commute time home, but mostly because chicken was dry and skin could use better seasoning than just salt. The skin sticks well to the chicken, the sauce was decent, but the chicken was average with regards to Korean fried chicken places in Irvine. Other Korean TC places like Furai and Chan Chan both do this better without sacrificing chicken quality and juiciness. read more

This used to be my favorite Korean Fried chicken and Korean style pizza place. Now with the new management with the different name, the quality of their chicken has significantly gone down. Their menu looks the same but the taste isn't there as before. There was one male employee, maybe an owner, who seem like very bothered by me calling the business Love Letter which is the previous business name. Their Pizza was just OK IMO but definitely not the chicken. read more

Ordered a medium Bulgogi Supreme pizza and 10-piece wings (original crispy), and overall everything was pretty good. I liked the chicken wings better than the pizza, but the Korean-style pizza isn't bad at all! It's just what one prefers. The staff was friendly, and the food was made immediately after I placed the order. The staff told me it would take 20 minutes, so I shopped at the market to kill time. Surely enough, I was able to pick up the hot food 20 minutes later. Don't forget to get the vinaigrette radish, it goes well with pizza and the wings. read more

I was super excited to dig in when I got home. Love letter has always been my favourite places to go regardless of what location, but I don't think I'll ever be getting my love letter fix here again. I was super disappointed taking the first bite. I'd say the korean fried chicken here is average to below average depending on what you order. The spicy half chicken wasn't bad but it wasn't steller. It didnt make my mouth water and wanting more like other places have. I feel like if I had just ordered the spicy half chicken, this place would've gotten a higher rating. My true disappointment was with their extra crispy fried chicken I ordered. It was dry, uncrispy and lacked flavor. Some pieces even had a weird burnt taste to it even though I knew the chicken itself wasnt burnt. Maybe the fact that this location is inside Hmart has to do with the lower quality. It makes me sad to say I had a lackluster meal because of this location. read more

KFC and pizza! Rainy weekend so the perfect take out meal is KFC of course. Crispy...crunchy...perfectly comforting. Went to H-Mart with the intent of picking up pre-made meals but alas nothing there that looked good so we headed over to the food court to get our KFC fill. We ordered original since the little won't enjoy the sauces and asked for sweet chili sauce on the side. The service was friendly and the wait for our order was about 25 mins on a not so busy evening, maybe longer if it's a busy time. When we got home it was about 10 mins later and the chicken was still hot and perfect even for takeout. If you need a KFC fix, try love letter! read more
