    Bimbimbap lunch
    Jenny L.

    Omg this place is LEGIT. I was working nearby and stopped by for a quick lunch. I ordered the lunch special Bimbimbap. It was delicious and just the right amount of food for lunch. You can tell this is all made in house with TLC. They also sell kimchi and sides that many people were purchasing. The service is friendly and the wait wasn't long for a freshly cooked hot lunch. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Seating is outside only on the patio.

    Bibibap

    I was in the area for work around Sorrento Valley, right on the border of Mira Mesa, and decided to grab some food to go. Ordered a bibimbap and tteokbokki...prices were great and service was super fast! The bibimbap portion was smaller than some other places, but tasted great. It's a tiny little hole-in-the-wall spot with no indoor seating, but there's shared outdoor seating with a few other small restaurants. Definitely more of a grab-and-go kind of place. Plenty of parking too, which is always a win. I'm a satisfied customer and I'll definitely be back! Oh, and just a heads up... they've got a fridge full of Korean pickled veggies, beans, kimchi, etc., if you want to stock up. No beer or soju here, but they do have plenty of water and sodas.

    First time coming here and I will be back! It is a takeout place with outdoor seating court. I got the beef lunch special. Super fast service with short wait time. Food nicely prepared to go and it was delicious! Best Korean I have had in a long time. Support this family business! They have an A rating for them heath department.

    This place has been on my radar for a while & I was finally in the area and decided to try it out. Here they serve home made , authentic grab and go Korean food that is absolutely deliciihs. First, I tried the kimchi pancakes , which were thoughtfully packaged in a container that had a sizable air vent so as to prevent steaming and softening the texture during transport. Next I tried the vegetable bibimbap which was filled with fresh mounds of veggies , tofu, egg strips ans and a delicious sauce all over a mound of sticky rice. While waiting, the case of refrigerated side dishes caught my eye and I decided to pick up a container of regular kimchi along with radish kimchi. Both were excellent. I will definitely be back !

    Small little restaurant with sitting only outside. Food is fresh and hot and also delicious. They also have side dishes to purchase.

    I ADORE this small shop! Originally came here with my friend for silly reason due to the fact I shared names with this place but pleasantly surprised to know that it had AMAZING & AUTHENTIC Korean food for great price and great quality! Take-out focused Korean home-cooked meals and a sweet old lady had rung us up which really set the cozy atmosphere. It wasn't busy at all when we came. Mira Mesa's beloved little spot that should be recommended!

    Cute little mom and pop shop. There isn't seating inside but there are some tables outside. Plenty of parking since it's in a large plaza. They have a variety of banchans in the fridge that you can grab while you are in line and pay when you are ready. I got the Sue Gimbap and the amount in itself is worth the price! It is really large and will fill you up! Aside from it tasting amazing, you literally see her making it at the counter! I'm not in San Diego but my friend made sure to introduce this place to us when we came to visit!

    Japchae
    Katrinna J.

    Tried the japchae with some beef. Was hungry and it was good but a little spicy. Owner was nice and friendly.

    Fast service, delicious casual Korean food and reasonable prices! This place had been on my radar for a long time in terms of must-try food spots in San Diego and it lived up to that reputation in my opinion! I ordered the soft tofu soup with beef, some stir fried spicy squid, some beef bulgogi and jjajangmyeon rice cakes. No complaints about anything, seasoned very well and fresh & hot to boot! Ample side dishes, not too much variety but a decent amount of quantity. Will come back for sure the next time I am in the area. It's perfect for both casual lunch and dinner and I'm sure you could also take a date there if you wanted to just for some casual vibes and good Korean food! Parking is aplenty in the nearby large commercial use parking lot.

    This cozy, homemade-style restaurant is a local gem. While it's primarily a takeout spot, you can enjoy your meal at the outdoor seating area in front. I'm a huge fan of their #5 pan-fired squid. It's served with rice and four delicious side dishes, and it's so good that I often forget to take a photo! I'll definitely remember next time. The restaurant also offers a variety of homemade side dishes, displayed beautifully in a refrigerated case. I can't wait to try some of those in the future.

Food was actually pretty good and service was also decently fast. Kimchi pancake was extremely large and we certainly appreciate that! Definitely good value for money there. Flavor was also exceptional. It was soft and light and had that kimchi flavor but wasn't too overpoweringly strong either. It was fairly oily though so I had to press out some of that oil using paper towels. Spicy chicken entree item was really nice. Not too spicy and it also had some veggies in there which I appreciate. Sauce itself was delicious and I think the only downside is that there was not as many large pieces of chicken so it was hard to tell what was chicken and what was rice cakes. Friend and husband definitely enjoyed the beef bulgogi. I only tasted a little and it was definitely good. I was really excited about the Hot Stone Bibimbap, but it didn't deliver as much. Rice on the side was fairly crispy which was nice, but overall I think it was missing a little something. The Bibimbap sauce they gave on the side was a 10/10 though!

    Came here with their revamped fine dining Korean Asian Fusion menu during Happy Hour and this place…read morewas absolutely amazing!!!!! First off, there is free parking available, just circle around the building until you see a garage entrance for retail parking. Two hours for free! Let me first explain the aesthetics of this place. Clean and modern with mid century feel accented with greenery throughout. Please note that they won't seat you until most of your party is present. We came here for Happy Hour which was from 4-6pm from Tuesday to Sunday! This is fantastic that HH includes the weekend!!!! To start, got a wellness shot which had a meld of juices and ginger. A great drink to ready your palate. For cocktails, I tried the Suika Spritz, which was refreshing! The Absolutely Pho-nomenal definitely tasted like cold Pho broth but spiked. It wasn't my favorite drink, but glad I tried it nonetheless. Of course we ordered the $1 oysters, and ordered all three - Baja, Pacific Northwest, & East Coast. It came with some Asian fusion sauces to dress our oysters. My fave was the Baja as these were the freshest! All three were smooth and non briny. On the HH menu we also tried - Bulgogi Birria Vampiro - Tender meat with bulgogi seasoned beef on top of a tostada. Really liked the meld of the two cultures in this dish. Duck Liver Mousse - Comes with rustic bread & crème fraiche. Very duck forward. I liked this because it was rich with flavor. Stone Crab Taco - Loved the nod to Loganisa in this taco! This was by far, my favorite protein dish on the HH menu!!!! Regular Menu - Mango Nasturium Kimchi Salad - I absolutely loved this vibrant and fresh dish!!!! I had to go back for second and thirds! Shishito Peppers with Bonito Flakes - This was definitely a fun and flavorful dish with lots of umami. Dessert - Hotteok and Vanilla Ice Cream - this was my favorite dessert! The pancakes were flaky and delicious!! Bonbunja Tiramisu - Beware! This has a strong coffee taste. It reminded of the strength and flavor profile of a Vietnamese coffee. I can't believe it's not cheesecake - Definitely a mix of a brûlée but with a cheesecake flavor. Confusing but works lol. We met the executive chef, Kyler, who explained and served some of dishes we ordered. The entire staff was so accommodating and even reminded us if we needed our parking validated! Our water never ran empty and our dishes were promptly taken away as we finished. Definitely a place to visit during HH since they offer amazing food and cocktail choices.

    My wife and I went here for dinner expecting to eat great food based on all the high reviews and…read morethe upscale price, but we were instead left with disappointment and a big fat check with an unexpected automatic 20% gratuity fee for 2 people. Food: We got several appetizers and 3 entrees. We had the Mango Kimchi Salad, Bulgogi Birria Vampiro, Silkworm Pupa Tacos, Doenjang Risotto, Miso Lingcod, and Braised Short Rib. We got plenty of dishes to try, but unfortunately they were either simply mediocre or had an issue. The Kimchi Salad was too strong in spice and the mangos were unripe and hard. The Birria Vampiro was simply mediocre and sort of bland. Silkworm Pupa Tacos were again sort of bland. The Risotto was undercooked and crunchy instead of 'al dente'. Miso Lingcod had a very fishy taste and not much else. And the Braised Short Rib was too salty. Drinks: I got the Choi's cocktail and my wife got the Gangnam Style espresso martini. Both drinks were very well made and tasted great! Service: Unlike the food, the service was great! From the person who confirmed our reservation, to the staff at the front of the door, and to our server, they were all extremely friendly. We were celebrating an occasion, which we made known when booking and upon sitting down we got a handwritten card with a congratulations note. That was very unexpected and awesome! We also got a couple of complimentary cocktail shots from the bartender while we were there. Overall, I would say the staff and service was extremely good. Parking: The area of San Diego that Choi's is located is unfortunately very bad. Overfilled with homeless, drug addicts, and just plain shady looking people who roam the streets. I was overjoyed when I found out that they give you two hours of complimentary parking in a safe place! So to summarize: The staff that provide great service, the bartender with awesome drinks, and the free parking in a safe place simply do not make up for the main reason we were there: the food. The only reason I gave this place 2 stars instead of 1 was because of all these other factors besides the food. Before paying the bill and leaving, we did let the server know about the issues we found with the food in a very friendly and constructive way. She was thankful for the honesty and the feedback.

The updated decor looks clean, modern, and welcoming. What always stands out to me is the service. The staff is incredibly attentive and efficient without making it feel forced. Water gets refilled constantly, grills are swapped out before they get too burnt up, and food comes out quickly after ordering. It keeps the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The quality of the food is also consistently solid. Everything tastes fresh, the marinades are flavorful without being overwhelming, and portions are fair. I also appreciate that they're accommodating with portion requests instead of making it complicated. Even the smaller details stand out here. Their sides are genuinely good, especially the steamed egg and rice paper. You can tell there's a difference in quality compared to a lot of other KBBQ spots. And ending the meal with the ice cream dessert option is just a nice touch that rounds everything out perfectly. Overall, it's just one of those places that consistently delivers a really good experience every time I go.
