Hako is located in Irvine next to the Zion Korean Market. They specialize in Japanese Katsu. This restaurant is a Japanese Korean fusion and is very delicious and worth a visit if you’re ever in Irvine. The katsu comes out with the perfect texture and they have many different types of katsu on the menu. We ordered the regular hako katsu + side of curry and also the cheese tonkatsu. #foodie #restaurant #restaurant

Went to Irvine Spectrum Center! The shopping mall is so big and lots of stuffs to do. Good quality restaurants!

Deliberately taking a slow walk can slow down your busy daily life. Spent an entire afternoon at the Irvine #lyon air museum. The kids were happily playing with the simulated flight while I stood nearby, watching the planes take off and land. It was the first time I was so close to a plane, immersed in the sound of its acceleration. The feeling is really hard to describe in words. #100 Ways to Travel #AmericanWest

The Counter at Park Place was delicious! The waitress was sweet and helpful and she checked up on us a good amount of times. Regular Fries: Loved the texture and size of the fries! Very skinny and each fry had the perfect crunch! These fries were so addicting that we almost finished them before the burgers came out. Parmesan Fries: The rosemary added a very nice flavor to the fries. However, the parmesan was very overpowering. Because the fries were very skinny, the parmesan shreds were a bit too much. I feel like if the fries were a bit thicker, the parmesan would go better with the fries. Peach Mint Fresca: Loved this drink! Definitely give it a good mix before drinking. The peach flavor was a nice subtle flavor and the mint + like flavor was definitely there. Wish I could add some rum and create a mojito! Bison is Gouda: $19.25 for this burger and it was the most expensive burger on the menu. I love myself a good bison burger and this was definitely good! Their bacon onion marmalade and smoked gouda were great! Not a bad burger.

This authentic restaurant serves gopchang and ends their kbbq meal with fried rice! So delicious and extremely worth the price. This restaurant is definitely cheaper than most restaurants that overprice their gopchang. Gopchang can refer to the small intestines of cattle or to a gui made of the small intestines. The latter is also called gopchang-gui. The tube-shaped offal is chewy with rich elastic fibers. Gopchang cooks to optimal doneness when the exterior begins to turn golden brown, with much of the gop, or the warm, iron-y filling that's essentially cooked membranous fluid from the cow's stomach, still intact. #foodie #summervacation #awesomepic #korean #koreanbbq #koreanfood #cafe #restaurant
