Irvine|One Spot for 💯 BBQ + 💯 Marinated Crab
Long time no food adventure share! After work today, my friend and I craved Korean BBQ in Irvine, so we Googled nearby spots and picked one blindly — and what a pleasant surprise! 😍 The banchan (side dishes) were diverse, delicious, and unlimited refills! The meat quality was excellent, and service was 💯 — staff grilled everything for us from start to finish. This restaurant is definitely going on my regular list! 📋✨ 🥩 Small Beef Combo (for 2) - $85 Includes: Sliced Brisket Marinated Boneless Short Ribs Ribeye or Boneless Short Rib (highly recommend the short rib — medium rare, juicy explosion!) 🥩💦 Grilled veggies, steamed egg, and beef tofu doenjang soup — more than enough for two! We also added a ribeye but couldn’t finish it (took it home!). The Large Combo ($142) feeds 3–4 people. 🥬 Unlimited Banchan Highlights: Corn, spicy kimchi pancake, broccoli, fish cake, seaweed salad — all top-notch, better than most Korean spots! 🌽🫓 🦀️ The Surprise Star: Spicy Marinated Crab! Been craving this for so long! Sweet-spicy, smooth, tender crab meat and roe — like seafood ice cream 🍦! Scoop it over rice with kimchi — absolutely divine! Overall, a must-visit spot near Irvine — whether you’re here for BBQ, marinated crab, or even their highly-rated cold noodles (we were too full to try 😅). 💰 We got carried away and spent $100+ per person, but honestly, a Small Combo is enough for two — about $50/person. Totally worth it for the quality + service! 👍 #100ChallengesEatery #LAEats #LAFood #IrvineEats #OCFood #IrvineFoodGuide #IrvineFoodie
