Yoo’s Place: A Solid Spot for Korean Comfort Food in Irvine
If you’re craving authentic Korean flavors, Yoo’s Place in Irvine is a great choice—especially if you’re in the mood for rich, hearty soups, handmade noodles, and crispy, perfectly sauced Korean-style sweet and sour pork. While their Kalbi-Tang (short rib soup) is a standout, there are two dishes I highly recommend: Jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). Whether you’re in for a warming bowl of noodle soup, a crispy fried dish, or a slow-cooked broth packed with umami, this place delivers on all fronts.
