    We love the pizza and the chicken here. Perfect for our tastebud. Bulgogi pizza is bomb. So good. The service is fast too and it's located inside HMart.

    spicy bulgogi potato and sweet potato pizza
    Tracy N.

    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

    Always a favorite. They cook their chicken wings to perfection. They're juicy and have a lot of sauce. Our go to place for chicken wings! They do not disappoint.

    Spicy cheese chicken

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This pizza is located inside H-Mart and it offers unique pizzas. On the day we visited they had special deal of half and half, so we ordered half sweet potato and half spicy bulgogi potato. The pizza was made fresh. I know because it took them 20 minutes to bring it to our table and it was steaming hot. I never had pizza like this before and they taste really good!

    Potato pizza

    If you've never tried Korean pizza, then you need to go to this place located inside H Mart in Irvine on Alton. Tried the potato and the bulgogi/potato pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. The pizzas were full of flavor and the crust is tasty. This is a must try if you've never had this type of pizza.

    Store Front

    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.

    Bulgogi Potato Pizza
    Jenny C.

    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!

    Original Fried Wings, soy garlic and hot and spicy
    Czarina D.

    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!

    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.

We got the 8pc fried Pepper Soy wings and the Large Dubboki with cheese. The wings are always so good here. They're humongous, crispy, and sauced to perfection.

The table also gets sat with a free side salad and pickled radishes, which is a great way to cut the richness of everything. A bite of chicken, a sip of beer, some rice cakes, and a bite of cold radishes really makes the night. Come out to Koko's for a drink, some eats, and a good casual time.

    This used to be one of my favorite spots, so it honestly makes me sad to write this…read more They've made a few changes to the menu and pricing. The dukbokki can only have ramen when it's a large. On top of that, cheese is now $4 extra and ramen is $3, which feels a bit steep for add-ons. They also changed the salad sauce--it used to be more on the sweeter side, but now it leans spicier (around a 3/10 spice level, still good), which may or may not be your preference. The biggest issue, though, was the food safety concern. Our order included 8 pieces of fried chicken (4 drumsticks and 4 wings). The drumsticks were fully cooked and fine. However, the first wing piece I bit into was clearly undercooked. Because of that, we did not continue eating the remaining wings--the other three were set aside and later on, discarded into the small trash bin they keep at the table. When I brought it to the staff's attention, they told me the redness was from bone marrow due to a broken bone and that the chicken was fully cooked. However, the bone only broke because I bit into it, and the meat itself was visibly pink. Not just near the bone where bone marrow would be. The actual MEAT was red and pink all throughout. This was not just "marrow." Even zooming into the picture, you can see the meat on both the plate and in my hand was still red and pink. Additionally, the remaining wings were only visually checked by the waiter and were not opened or inspected internally, which would not confirm whether they were fully cooked. This is concerning, as a visual check alone doesn't accurately assess doneness. It also concerns me that, despite not being present, the owner claims his servers point of view as factual, including the claim that all the wings were eaten, which is not accurate. We did not consume the remaining wings after the first one I bit into. Unfortunately, there was no apology from my perspective, simply an "explanation" stating it was bone marrow. And the situation wasn't handled with much concern. I ended up feeling sick and had to go to the bathroom to throw up, which completely ruined the rest of the experience. Overall, I'm really disappointed. Between the price changes, the food safety issue, and the owner's response focusing more on defending the situation rather than acknowledging the concern, I don't feel comfortable coming back.
