Urban Seoul 2.0 at Irvine Spectrum Center

09.04.14

Urban Seoul, a popular Korean fusion restaurant just opened its second location in Orange County, at Irvine Spectrum Center in Irvine. Its original location opened two years ago at Diamond Jamboree in Irvine.

Local restaurateurs Bronnie Lee and Chef Kacy Jun’s are inspired by SoCal’s culinary melting pot at Urban Seoul 2.0 with popular dishes blending flavors of Asia and Mexico, and a nod to the street food scene. All dishes cost $10 or less which considering the ingredients, amazing dishes, and modern ambience, is a great deal.

Some of our favorite dishes include the chorizo fried rice; Wagyu Loco Moco Skillet with marinated Wagyu beef patty, mushroom gravy, pickled red onions, fried onions, green onions, sunny side egg, over crispy fried rice; quesadilla, made with a spicy kimchi pancake and stuffed with grilled chicken, melted cheese and a kimchi sour cream dipping sauce; and the Korean pork belly tacos, topped with scallions.

New to the Urban Seoul 2.0 menu includes a make-your-won Korean lettuce wraps called ssam. You can choose from a variety of grilled meats, including grilled marinated short ribs, grilled salmon, spicy pork, or vegetarian-friendly tofu and mushrooms, along with caramelizes onions, kimchi, Korean chili paste and japchae (Korean glass noodles).

You also need to try the only shaved snow available at Irvine Spectrum, with ribbons of strawberry or green tea ice cream topped with condensed milk, lychees and fresh strawberries.

Open for lunch 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday; open for dinner 5 to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday; Open 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
