Wow Ireh really surprised us with how good the food was! Authentic Korean cuisine! We arrived almost closing time , thank goodness they still seated us We got the soon do bu and braised Kalbi, exactly what we were craving, it was so delicious and satisfying. Had we had any room left in our tummies, would've gotten their popular ireh KFC next time for sure Drinks: whatever or however they made the yuzu and ginger drink , just wow! I wish those were unlimited refills lol Ambiance: casual, busy. Parking lot available but kind of tricky to find

LA Kalbi was good. Around 10 pieces for 25 bucks. Fried mandoo was surprisingly good (prepare for v. stinky burps) Deokbokki was pretty good, but kinda small for the cost. Rice cake ain't that expensive. Meat Jun was OK. A little chalky in some places. Not too great. Not too awful. Just OK. Kimchi fried rice was a little off-- too sour. Very unbalanced. Not enough things in it to balance. Kimbap was also OK, more vegie than anything. Fell short for me. I'm used to some kind of meat inside. Service was good, but took too long (many people waiting) when we picked up food.

First time to this iteration of Ireh. I hesitated since they moved because I wasn't sure about the parking situation or if they would keep the same menu options. Parking was easy! Stalls designated for the restaurants...no problem. The menu is pretty much as I remembered from the old location. Just good, healthier-than-typical options (heavier on the veggies, light on meat) at reasonable prices. I love their sujebi, but opted for spicy pork Tteokbokki. Friend enjoyed her kimchi jjigae. I'll be back for the sujebi!

I love Ireh since the day they open a small store in McCully Shopping Center. I was so devastated when both locations closed (og Keeamoku). I'm glad that they were able to lease a spot at Azure across from Walmart. Right next to Yifang and Debu. Not a single complain for their food, the food always slap and the flavor stay consistent every time. I wish I can eat more hahaha. This is not the usual AYCE or Yakiniku Korean BBQ. All the food are clean, flavorful and you can feel the authenticity from mom touch. The workers are mainly mid-age korean lady. So you wont get the 5 star restaurant feel but more homey, like you're at grandma or your aunty house They are really nice and helpful! So please do not put them down for not speaking to you the way you wanted. I will always recommend Ireh to all my friends and family. This is the place I will always come back.

Overall impression: Outstanding. Great food. Great service. Great value. Clean and good ambiance. Can be healthy or not depending on what you choose. Average price: $15-20 Tip: The meat and rice dishes are pretty huge. Good for sharing.

After shopping a whole day on 11/22/23. We decided to give this place a try. It's my first time for me and second time for my guest. I love ttekbokki and they had a great selection here. I ordered the regular tteokbokki, it comes with vegetables, fish cakes and an egg. Our server gave us plenty of time to make our decision and provided answers to my questions. She was polite and a very nice person. Our water was refilled quickly, they give you a pitcher. We refilled it twice. My guest ordered one of the boiling soups! It looked delicious and savory. See video. The tables were clean and it wasn't crowded at the time we came in. Well lit and nice decor on the restaurant walls. I will be coming back here.

First visit to new location and mostly good experience just not quite as good as the original but still very good. It's an excellent atmosphere .. Very clean and new. Very different from the mom and pop vibe in the original location. The service is excellent as usual no drop off here. The prices are but higher but that's expected with increased food costs minimum wage, taxes, rent and other misc expenses. The portion sizes are slightly smaller but not noticable. Kim chee is still good but lacks some aging, most like a little sourness. Seafood pancake is good but no longer has oysters and the shrimp is now bay shrimp. Love the mushroom soft tofu stew... Very clean and natural flavors come out. Mandoo still excellent. Still worth the visit.
