Urban Seoul

Followed to my daughter recommendation, we finally decided to stop by this trendy restaurant in Irvine Spectrum Center for lunch. This place has a very good location and surrounded by other high ended restaurants in the area. This restaurant was very popular with different kinds of customers from young to Middle Ages folks. We ordered calamari, chicken popcorn, overload potatoes, and myself a bowl of spicy dry Udon. The foods looked very delicious and tempting, but for me, they were so salty and even the sauces. Overall, I would give the foods a B-, but the services were outstanding and pleasant. They also have happy hours at this place. The seating, they have outside or inside the restaurant whichever you're preferred. Hopefully, I will be back to try out the different dishes next time with the recommendation of a lighter salt on my places.

A Korean style chimichanga, what a fantastic fusion! My only disappointment is that I was too full to try more of their amazing offerings. Paired with a beer from a generous list of local breweries this was the best lunch I had all week! I will be back.

Gogi Slider and skillet......Fresh to Def!!

Cash only at the time, some items from the menu were not available. Food tasted great.

The service at this place is just as great as their location in Irvine. I always get the pork belly here is super good. Always come here for lunch after 1pm when it's less busy. If you're looking for a group setting your best bet is the location in Irvine.

FOOD COMA ALERT! So yummy and the waiter was very kind! So kind that we even stayed a little after closing and he still filled our waters even though it was like 15 minutes after close. The food was DELICIOUS. Try to variate the meats since too much gogi is an over whelming taste for everything. I highly recommend getting the gogi quesadilla and gogi tacos! I'm definitely coming again :) It's also in the same location as many other asian inspired eateries! So after Urban Seoul, take a less than a 15 second walk to boba, ice cream, etc.! Love it!!!

Great customer service. Everything comes out hot and fresh. You can't go wrong with the Kogi quesadilla, sweet n sticky wings or pork belly fried rice. If you like spicy then you definitely found the perfect spot!

I very had almost everything on the menu. The food and menu are fantastic. Service is great. The design of the Korean fusion type menu is near flawless. They have great beers, but I don't drink. I'd like to see more sugarless drink options. This is definitely a must if youre in Irvine.

Do yourself a favor and get the umami waffle fries and the 3B selection of they have it. Everything was flavorful and delicious, but those items really made then stand out.

I love this place, the people who work here are very friendly and it's a great place for great food. They have a lot of interesting food choices on their menu and a good beer selection as well. I usually go in a group for taco Tuesday, they have good prices, and really tasty tacos with lots of options like spicy pork, gogi, pork belly, chicken, and tofu too. It's a fun environment to hangout with friends and eat really unique food. It's one of the best fusion places I've been. They also have a food challenge! They have this monster burrito called the four horsemen that's around 4 pounds wrapped in two tortillas and filled with all their popular meat, chorizo fried rice, beans, kimchi and signature pineapple habanero salsa. The burrito tastes really good too, topped with nacho cheese and green onions... it was a little to big for me to finish but if you are into food challenges I think you should check it out.

The taco Tuesday is really good to try to sample the variety of flavors on that dish which would otherwise be hard to mix and match as the tacos aren't a-la carte regularly. I've tried their drink of the day and while usually delicious, is better saved for happy hours. The interior is cozy, don't bring a huge party. Almost like fancy food truck food, but better value and no need to follow on Twitter to find.

Great tasting food. Fair pricing. I had to gogi skillet and it was excellent

As a self described foodie, I usually plan out what restaurants to try, ahead of travel. I was looking for good pork belly tacos on a bao bun, because I'd had a wonderful experience with them a couple of years ago in San Diego. My searches led me to this place. A couple of years ago a friend of mine competed on Masterchef, and there was a Bibimbap food challenge. I wasn't familiar with it, but was instantly intrigued by it as I generally love a good Asian dish. When I realized they had Bibimbap on the menu, I absolutely had to try it! Both the pork belly tacos and the Bibimbap were amazing. The flavors and textures were spot on. I only wish I could easily get this type of food in Indianapolis!

I had the grilled wet burrito and it was very flavorful. Interesting mix of Korean and Mexican. My coworker got the udon stir fry and loved it. I'll definitely be getting that next.

Nice place to try new things. Tasty and good price.

The Kimchi burger is really good

Greasy chicken noodle, bibimbap more satisfying and diverse ingredients; reasonably big portions for a $13 bowl. The pork belly sliders are small. None of those accompanying pickled plates for free. Great service and outdoor seating. The big 21oz bottles of Asahi are $7. $12 loaded fries are prolly not worth it but they taste good.

Amazing pork belly Korean fusion tacos 😋

Can't go wrong here... everything is tasty

Great service, friendly staff and the food came out really fast. Didn’t know what to order on my first trip, so got some recommendations - I decided upon the chorizo & kimchi fried rice with crispy pork belly... very tasty and would’ve ordered another if not already full. It’s a good spot with great service if you’re in a hurry for lunch.

Friendly staff & good food

Great Korean dishes! Prompt and friendly service. Never been disappointed. Will return.

Absolutely delicious! I got the Gogi Slider and was very pleased with it. We shared the Garlic Edamame, beef tongue and deep fried dumplings appetizers. The fusion tacos were exactly what my dad was looking for, he said they were fantastic. Great little spot with awesome service!

The short rib tacos are amazing nice and crispy !

Gogi quesadillas were a bit sweet, the meat was. The pork belly taco was interesting, but I think it'd be better if the pork pieces were more tender, and maybe cooked cha shu style? Overall I enjoyed it, as eclectic as it was.

This place is my ace for fast and tasty meal. I can only personally speak to the Wet Burrito, because I ate it once and was hooked. The cooks there are the best and nicest folks. If your looking for food happiness and a pint, this place should be your jam.

Hey this place is delicious! So wish you had a location in LB. I shall be back!For 2 $45

Very enjoyable food and beer

Incredible food and great service. The atmosphere is understated funky. The music adds to the ambiance without beings overpowering. I will definitely be back

Absolutely delicious food. Compact menu in a compact space but with big flavors. Ordered their take on bibimbap - 10/10 would order again. SO good! Can't wait til I'm back in Irvine to come back here.

I do love their burgers

The Korean fusion food here is decent. I liked the kimchi fried rice a lot and I enjoy their daily juice specials. This place is very casual with a friendly atmosphere. The shop is very small compared to the Irvine Spectrum location and parking can be a hassle.

The food at this place was amazing! My group of 5 had no complaints at all. Everything was perfectly seasoned and the portion sizes were great. I definitely recommend this place!

Went here for a work lunch. Only one person was taking orders and handling drinks, while there were 2 others in the kitchen, so the wait was a little longer than expected. That being said, when the food finally came it was well worth the wait. You'll definitely want to try the wings, they are sweet and spicy! The tacos were also excellent. Will definitely be back here again to try the different teas they have!
