The shop is able to accommodate groups of various sizes. Upon entry, you can expect to be seated and served relatively quickly. The menu and ordering system is via a QR code located on the table. I got the pork chop fried rice which is one of their best sellers (and for good reason!) . The pork chops were crispy on the outside and savory on the inside. Alongside the item, there were pickled veggies and a bit of scrambled eggs for a balanced meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and would highly recommend to anyone looking to get authentic Taiwanese food in the heart of Irvine!

The scrambled egg with sweet tomato was super delicious, loved the minced meat over steamed riced, broccoli added some crunch, and there was some sort of pickled radish as a garish. The steam pork dumplings were steamy and juicy. The beef bone soup was good, but nothing super unique.

We always order the beef noodle soup with tendon, cucumbers, and pig ears. All are delicious!! The noodle soup is light, yet flavorful and the wide noodles are cooked to perfection. Recently ordered the beef wrap too, and it's so yummy!! It's thin, wrapped well, crispy, flavorful, and doesn't fall apart easily. Their chili is also so good, so I add a bit pretty much to every dish. Overall--family-friendly ambiance, clean, good service, quick, and tasty foods. Will be back!!!!!!

A solid meal, well fried and fat rendered, not much batter in this style. Seasoning is there, and they have an excellent chili oil-sauce thing on each table to add for deep flavor and spice. If I had to change something... I'd add bok choy as a side rather than chopped into the rice? Still solid choice. Service is as usual at an Asian restaurant--order, and they'll respect your meal time and leave you alone unless you ask for attention.

I had been wanting to try 7 Grams for such a long time, and I finally got the chance to visit! And…read morewow, it was even better than I expected!! The restaurant is located in a large shopping plaza. Although I wouldn't say there's plenty of parking, I was able to find a spot without much trouble. When I first saw the crowd waiting outside, I got a little intimidated and even thought, "Should we just go somewhere else?" Haha. But surprisingly, the wait wasn't that long, and we were seated much faster than I expected. Once we sat down and looked at the menu, I was already impressed! I loved both the variety of dishes and the prices. There were so many things I wanted to try, but I decided to save some for future visits. Haha. We ordered the Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), a noodle dish, the Beef Roll, and the Scallion Pancake. The food came out pretty quickly, and we started trying everything one by one. OMG. Everything was SO GOOD!! Honestly, every single dish exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The Beef Roll was especially impressive because it had more beef inside than the ones I've tried at other restaurants. The Xiao Long Bao was juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! The Scallion Pancake was perfectly crispy on the outside, with that wonderful savory flavor. And the noodles! I can't remember the exact name, but I think it had "Golden" in it? Haha. It had a unique flavor that I'd never experienced before, with a little spicy kick. Even though it was spicy, it was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating until the bowl was completely empty! While we were eating, I suddenly thought about my family at home, so I ordered another Beef Roll to go. And here's another thing that really impressed me: **THE SERVICE!** The employee who helped us with the bill was incredibly friendly and pleasant. I was genuinely happy to leave a tip because the service was that good! But what happened afterward impressed me even more. After paying, I went to use the restroom. The hallway leading to it was somewhat narrow, and whenever I passed an employee, they politely stepped aside to let me through first. It might seem like a small gesture, but I really appreciated it. It felt like treating customers with kindness and respect was simply second nature to everyone working there. Great food, wonderful service, AND reasonable prices? What more could I ask for?! Honestly, **why would I go to Din Tai Fung when I have 7 Grams?!** Haha! From now on, whenever I'm craving Xiao Long Bao, 7 Grams will be my first choice! And I definitely have to come back because the dishes I saw on other tables looked absolutely delicious, too. There are still so many things I want to try! **7 Grams, you've officially won me over!**

It was quick and the servers recommended a lot of great stuff. We order the flat burger with pulled pork, the trio noodles and we also got the cold chili noodles! Trio noodles: 5/5 I had this before and I didn't really like it much on my first visit but this time it was EXTRAAAAA good! Maybe because there was more tomatoes sauce on it. Noodles were big and it was very well seasoned! The burger: 5/5 wow! Very crispy and filled with LOTS of pork. I like this one compared to the one I had in NY because it didn't have other adds on in it, just straight up pulled pork Cold noodles: 4/5 it was good but I thought the pork skin was kind of odd? It wasn't crispy, it was like mushy and soft which I thought was unique but not my favorite. However, with the chili oils added in, it was perfect!

The rougamou was extremely greasy, like dripping into its own pool of oils. The cold noodles were mid but the texture definitely improved when I reheated them.

Yoo's Place is a solid spot for Korean food that isn't just KBBQ! If you want to avoid the…read morenightmare parking situation at Diamond Jamboree just a few blocks north of here, this is a great spot with much better parking... for now. Coworker has been raving about this place since I knew him - so we finally managed to grab lunch here on a Thursday. Service is typical Asian restaurant - fast, efficient, mildly friendly. You know the food is good when they don't make small talk. There's tons of seating inside, and one table outside - but not sure if the one outside is just for you to wait for your table inside. Despite it being packed for lunch, we were able to hear each other just fine. Plates, bowls, utensils, cups are all on your table - which is a huge plus - no need to flag anyone down. There's a pitcher of water, and a thermos of their famous bone broth - which was my choice of drink for my meal. I left all the ordering to my coworker - who was careful to order non-spicy selections - since I have a low spice tolerance. Our orders: * Dolpan Mushroom Bulgogi - this was a delicious dish in a hot stone. Mushroom and beef over rice with a semi mild spicy sauce. My tablemates were forgiving in that they ordered everything without spice, and added spice on their own. * Fried Squid - sorta like calamari, but prepared differently. This was great on its own, has a bit of a tempura type of coating. *Braised Short Ribs - this is the dish that my coworker has been hyping up! It's like a short rib stew sorta thing with fish cakes, veggies, in a rich, thick broth. The short ribs were perfectly tender and each bite was full of flavor. Beware - this entree is $70 to $90 - not a typo. It's easily 3x to 4x as much as any other entree on the menu. We were served purple rice - which I thought was awesome - perfectly soft, moist, and fluffy. We also had a great helping of banchan - table favorites were the Korean cubed jelly, fish cakes, kimchee radishes and the squash. As mentioned, service was prompt and attentive. Our banchan was refilled without us having to ask. Parking CAN get messy. I parked on the surface, but there is supposedly an underground parking area underneath the shopping plaza.

Hahaha! Not that Korean service is intentionally bad, but it's usually more about efficiency and getting food to customers than making small talk or giving everyone special attention. And this place was exactly like that! The chicken was fresh, although the fish was a little too salty for my taste. The noodles, however, were delicious and tasted very authentic! They even gave us complimentary steamed dumplings, which were HUGE! Overall, not a bad spot in Irvine if you're craving a wide variety of authentic Korean dishes. Come for the food, not the small talk!
