Tang N Tang

Over the weekend, I visited this restaurant, and it was packed with Koreans, which made me think this place must be authentic! According to my Korean friends, eating tteokguk (rice cake soup) is like how we eat longevity noodles — having a bowl adds another year to your life! ✨ Braised Beef Ribs The braised beef ribs here are different from what I’ve had at other Korean restaurants. Instead of the cheesy style, it’s more like the Gangnam-style soy-braised ribs. The flavor leans sweet, and the ribs are so tender that they fall off the bone and melt in your mouth. The seasoning is absolutely spot-on, and personally, I find it much tastier than the spicy cheesy ribs. The portion is huge — three people could easily have two meals out of it! Plus, this version is totally non-spicy, so even kids can enjoy it to the fullest. ✨ Pork Backbone Potato Soup This has always been one of my favorite Korean dishes, especially in winter. Sipping the warm broth is so comforting! The soup comes in a hot stone pot, steaming and full of flavor, with around four big chunks of pork backbone. The potatoes are stewed until perfectly soft. Pairing the soup with rice is pure happiness! ✨ Beef Bulgogi Hot Pot This one was ordered especially for the kids. The broth is on the sweeter side, making it perfect to go with rice. In winter, there’s nothing better than enjoying warm, hearty soups at a Korean restaurant! There are so many other dishes on the menu that look amazing too. I’ll definitely come back to try more next time!

I ordered a few korean dishes from tang !!it was my first time going but the Staff was so friendly to explain everything to me. I love spicy food so I got yukaejang with beef. I also ordered the tonkatsu with salad. The bossam was also something I enjoyed with the spicy radish!! Lastly.. I got galbi tang and that was amazing. It's so good!! Food Instagram is :@soppkim

Tang n Tang at Northpark Plaza is super convenient with easy parking! It's a great spot for some delicious Korean food, plus you can grab a drink afterward at Boba Time or Starbucks in the mall. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. I tried the bossam combo, spicy beef flank soup, naengmyeon, pork cutlet, and pork bulgogi! The bossam combo is perfect for 2-3 people, and everything was fresh, especially the pork cutlet--it was so tender. The naengmyeon with teddy bear ice (broth) is so cute and definitely Insta-worthy! Also, try the SANG makgeoli--I loved it with bossam or spicy food. Excellent service too! A great spot for a quick and casual meal!

Tang N Tang (TNT) has quickly become my go-to spot for Korean comfort food in Orange County! If you're a fan of hearty soups, generous portions, and affordable prices, you need to check this place out. The restaurant filled up as soon as l arrived, and I knew I was in for a treat. Their banchan were fresh and delicious, with the kimchi and jalapeño radish being my favorites. Here's what I ordered: * Bossam Plate ($48.99) - Tender pork belly with the perfect amount of fat, served with cabbage on the side. Ideal for sharing! * Yukgaejang ($18.99) - A spicy, hearty beef soup packed with beef, vegetables, and just the right amount of heat. * Pork Belly Soup ($16.99) - Rich, flavorful broth! * Galbi Tang ($21.99) - Perfectly cooked short rib soup with a light yet flavorful broth. * Donkatsu ($19.99) - Crisp and huge, perfect for sharing too. The staff was super friendly, and I noticed plenty of locals dining here, which is always a good sign.

Food was pretty good, tasty and I was hungry at time. Panchan (side dishes) were served in 4 plates and were replenished in a timely fashion. My only concern was only 1 small piece of potato was found in my potato and pork soup. Waiter seemed to be satisfied with only one potato slice was found in the soup. Seriously? I hope shop doesn’t feel offended and would perhaps offer a few more potato slices next time I come.

Korean comfort food is so delicious. Craving satisfied! Highlights of the menu: 1. Spicy braised short ribs 2. Bossam 3. Galbi tang - beef short ribs, beef broth, egg, green onion, glass noodles 4. Pork cutlet 5. Banchan

We came here for lunch and ordered the spicy beef with glass noodles, beef bone soup. The food was pretty authentic, especially the four appetizer in small dishes. The best is the vinger radish, it was made with Korean sweet vinger I believe? It is also interesting they have the raw chives made with spicy sauce. It is nice you can order a cup of tea instead of water and it is free. Food in soup is their specialty. The spicy beef came with good amount and a bowl of rice, other dishes weren't a lot but I guess it can still make you full with extra bowl of rice. It is also very convenient that they have little drawers on both sides of the tables with napkins and chopsticks inside.

I ordered S-10 Galbi Tang the broth was clear refreshing it didn’t feel heavy. It was very well balanced and flavorful. I love the concept of cutting up the meat. It came with a bunch of delicious sides. The customer Service was wonderful. The people there were really nice and specifically the young gentlemen that helped me! I’ll be back!

Let's be honest - we came for the adorable frozen broth bear that comes with (I'm pretty sure) the MUL-BIBIM NAENG MEON (spicy noodle with cold broth), but I would just double check with the waitress before ordering to make sure you can enjoy the bear. He doesn't photograph super well, but he sure tastes good and will ensure that your cold noodles stay chilly and delicious on a hot day. We also shared a massive seafood pancake - very tasty and reheated well the next day on stovetop. Service was great and very prompt about replenishing our favorite banchan items. Ambiance is casual and parking wasn't too tricky given how large the lot is, even though it's shared with many other restaurants and stores.

We've known about this place for a while but haven't been here in a while. It was much better than we remembered. I had the yookgaejang because I seen to recall not liking what I had the previous time (can't remember what it was) and yookgaejang is pretty hard to mess up. It was good -- but again, as a dish it's hard to mess up My wife had the galbi tang and you can see from the picture it came with some huge pieces of meat. She said it was very good. The banchan were good but nothing special. The place is very clean and the service was good. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would.

We got the ugeogi galbi tang and seafood pancake. The bonchon they had tasted very fresh and had great flavor. They always asked if wanted refills on them, all around nice and attentive people. The ugeogi galbi tang had this sour/fermented flavor that is different from the normal galbi tang which I thought was a nice change of pace. I liked the cabbage and the sprouts, gave the soup a nice crunch. The seafood pancakes had amazing texture, a good combination of crunchy outside while being a little doughy in the middle. The most prominent flavor was squid which I love.

They just reheat packaged samgyetang (chicken soup) from the Hmart nearby. I saw it through the kitchen door window. .

Located in a shopping center, so parking is easy! This place was amazing! Easily 5 stars for me. Their utensils are located in the side drawer of your table. Very clean. The locations in which they seat you is to allow you space, which I find very thoughtful. Yukgaejang - 5/5! It even has egg in it! Super filling, the taste is perfect! Just how I like it. Very flavorful. They do not skimp out on ingredients, so it's well worth it to me. This place would be my go to, if I lived in Irvine. Galbitang- came w scissors and tongs to help you. My sister enjoyed it. Said it was very filling. Banchan- loveeee their kimchi. It's not too citrusy, and it's made just right! If I wasn't so full from the Yukgaejang, I would've ate all of the side dishes easily. Employees are super sweet, helpful, attentive, and quick. Food came out fast. I would 10000% come back! Loved it! Thank you for a great experience!

Delicious! I was going to order via DoorDash but I'm so glad we decided to eat at the establishment. We got the combo that included a half order of bossom and then we chose the solungtang. The half order is way bigger than expected and the soup was delicious. The banchan was delicious, the service was great and I also got the appetizer of blood sausage which was mixed w other innards, so yum! I'll definitely be back! Great prices for the portions!

Tang n Tang at Northpark Plaza is super convenient with easy parking! It's a great spot for some delicious Korean food, plus you can grab a drink afterward at Boba Time or Starbucks in the mall.

Also, try the SANG makgeoli--I loved it with bossam or spicy food. Excellent service too! A great spot for a quick and casual meal!

Galbi Jjim so good it made me forget the 30-minute wait--worth every second！ This TNT spot was actually recommended by my Korean neighbor back when it was freezing cold--and it did not disappoint! You can tell it's authentic the moment you walk in. The place is full of Korean families, parents and kids all gathered to eat together--always a great sign. The GALBI JJIM was an absolute knockout. The second it hit the table, it was game over. Seriously satisfying. The visual impact alone was crazy--totally worth the 30-minute wait. After trying this place, I'm officially done queueing up in Rowland Heights. Even the sides like pumpkin and rice cakes were insanely flavorful. We got medium spicy this time, but it leaned more on the sweet side--not too spicy at all. Next time, we're going for the extra spicy version! The GAMJA TANG was mildly spicy--honestly, kids could eat it too. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender; one spoon and it just came apart. The small pot isn't huge, but it came with three big pieces of meat--super satisfying. Then we tried the HOT POT BULGOGI--a pretty unexpected combo, but it worked! Kinda felt like they tossed grilled beef into a sweet glass noodle soup and simmered it for a bit. Our kid loved the sweet beef and finished a whole bowl of rice. The noodles were soft but still had a nice chew. Service was super friendly even though the food took a bit to come out--and honestly, everything was so tasty we didn't mind waiting. Irvine might not have standout Chinese food, but the Korean food scene here is getting serious--almost feels like a mini K-Town! One good Korean spot next to another. Now that it's getting hotter in LA, I noticed everyone's starting to order naengmyeon (cold noodles)... definitely coming back for that next time!

Pretty solid tasting food. The short ribs and the soups are all top notch. The bulgogi plate was also delicious The seafood pancake was amazing and perfectly crispy with the seafood cooked well the first time. The second time it was tougher and chewier and overcooked.

We arrived around 7 PM on a Saturday evening. The entire restaurant was bustling and filled except for one table and we got the last one and didn't have to wait luckily. I've had this place bookmarked for quite a while and was looking forward to dining here with my son. We enjoyed all of the dishes and especially liked the kimchi. It tasted fresh and not overly spicy. The service was friendly and kind and just enough attention Looking forward to the next visit so that we can try other dishes.

Wonderful soups and stews! Came to fulfill a craving and the chicken soup was light and tasty. The service was decent but not as attentive as I would've liked. I felt like they kept skipping over our table because we had kids. The place is clean but I wouldn't recommend coming here with littles.

Solid spot for Korean food! This place is one of my go tos and they have a ton of options, some of my favorites are Seollong tang - beef broth with brisket Soondae Guk - beef broth with beef innards MUL-BIBIM NAENG MEON - spicy cold noodles I've also tried their galbi jim - spicy beef ribs and this is...imo not really worth it. It's about $80 for a good portion, but the beef ribs themselves are not that tender hit or miss depending on the piece

Came here near closing (sorry!) but they were able to seat us! My faves were the donkatsu and the bossam! The donkatsu was really soft especially for pork. The cold noodle was ok. The meat on the soups fall off the bone! I'd come back for the donkatsu and the bossam. Service was great and the place was clean.

Usually TNT is good! Solid! Everything has been good that we've tried, but recently we tried the galbijjim, and it was so bad. Way wayyy too sweet and under the rib bones, there's just a pool of grease. I was pretty disappointed and would just like to say that their galbijjim is not what Koreans are used to eating - or at least my Korean family lol.

Korean comfort food is so delicious. Craving satisfied! Highlights of the menu: 1. Spicy braised short ribs 2. Bossam 3. Galbi tang - beef short ribs, beef broth, egg, green onion, glass noodles 4. Pork cutlet - it's huge! 5. Banchan

To start, the kimchi and this radish jalapeño mix were my favorite sides and paired well with the popular LA Galbi which was very tender and packed a lot of flavor. Their Spicy Beef Flank Soup has the perfect amount of spice and comes loaded with brisket, noodles, sprouts, and water fern. If you're not into hot they have these cold noodles that have a refreshing clean broth and taste great. Theirs also this little ice bear that chills with you too. Their Pork Bulgogi was packed with pork loin, rice cake, and cabbage, all tossed in their spicy sauce. The servers are nice and the restaurant is located in a shopping center. A video breakdown can be found on my IG @ToshiEats

We were craving Korean soup, and since the weather has hit official socal cold (aka 65 and below), it was time for Tang N Tang! The seollangtang and Galbi tang are our faves and both hit the spot. The service is quick and polite, as expected, and very kind with our toddler. And the ambiance is simple and clean. The thing we love most about this spot though is their banchan. The kimchi in particular slaps every time we go!

Came here craving some refreshing food on a hot day and it didn't disappoint! Before our food came out they had banchan with kimchi, radish, etc. Their kimchi was fresh and tasted homemade rather than store bought. For our meal we ordered the naengmyeon and donkatsu. The noodles were so chewy and the broth was acidic and sweet, just what I was craving. The ice came in a cute bear shape. They also give you bottles of what I think is ginger/horseradish and vinegar, which really brightens up the taste of the noodles with strong flavors. But what was super surprising was how good the donkatsu was. The cook is perfect, and the breading is superb. Usually katsu breading is very crunchy and can hurt your mouth but here it's a softer crunch. It paired well with what I think is a house sesame sauce of some sort. Sooo delicious, would come back again!

I really enjoyed the variety of banchan and every dish served especially since they were such big portions for the amount paid. We ordered the bossom combo with the yugaejang tang. I was expecting like little stone bowls but they brought out these big bowls. The two of us couldn't finish so we packed it for next day lunch.

My parents and toddler love the kalbi tang here and we order it to go when the Korean soup craving hits. No frills but a solid soup with plenty of meat.

I've always wanted to try this place since I love Korean soups and we are in this plaza fairly regularly. I'm glad that we did, the food here is really good and super homey. I also think they have some of the best banchan that I've had so far at a Korean restaurant. We came in a half hour after they opened so they weren't super busy. We got the galbi tang, smoked duck and bulgogi rice. We also love the banchan that they had, the fish cake was delicious and the kimchi, both cabbage and radish were really good. I really liked the galbi tang, the broth was delicious and heart, the noodles were a great chewy texture. I do wish the short rib was a bit more tender. The bulgogi rice was also really good, it had a few pieces of rice cake in it, but the marinade was on the sweeter side. We love duck so we both enjoyed the smoked duck, the flavor was very reminiscent of bacon and we liked that it came on a bed of onions. We would definitely be back here, service was friendly and my toddler liked the food as well!

A great place to visit for some Korean comfort foods. They have lots of different soups and appetizers and also bossam! It's conveniently located next to hmart. *seollong tang: good soup but brisket could be more tender *Ugeoji galbi tang: very savory and delicious but meat can also be a bit more tender lots of seating and parking

Over the weekend, I visited this restaurant, and it was packed with Koreans, which made me think this place must be authentic! According to my Korean friends, eating tteokguk (rice cake soup) is like how we eat longevity noodles -- having a bowl adds another year to your life!

Fast service! We came for the cold noodles, and was not dissapointed! The cold noodles soup comes with a cute little bear shaped ice. A very classic korean restaurant we will definitely be visiting again!

Tang N Tang has some of the best Korean food I've had in Irvine. The Seollong Tang (ox bone broth with brisket) is super light and soothing. The deep fried tteokgalbi is super crispy and flavorful My favorites were definitely the LA Galbi and the Galbi-jjim They were both very tender and fell right off the bone The restaurant itself is simple, nice and clean. Shoutout to our server Scott who was super helpful and answered all the questions we had! 10/10 service and food! Definitely check them out when you're in the area

Stopped by here and the soups were perfect on a cold night ! The side dishes were delicious and the service was great, always had our side dishes filled. This is a good spot for some good comforting Korean food ! Galbi Tang - Delicious ! The broth was warm ans refreshing. The meat was also very tender. Bossam Combo - Yummy ! This combo included half portion of bossam and a choice of cold or hot noodles (we chose galbi tang again haha). It was a great portion size for 4 ppl (including a second order of galbi tang). The bossam was soft and had great textures with the lettuce, garlic, and sauce.

This place deserves higher than 4 stars. The soups are great and Katsu is very good. Servers are very friendly as well. Skip the appetizers

If you're looking for some cold korean noodles, this is one of the spots i go to in Irvine. The inside is modern and clean. The food is pretty good, although nothing spectacular. It's more of comfort food for Koreans. The service is always attentive and on point.

I loved it so much the first time I tried it that I had to go back after 2 days! Located in the same complex as Hmart, they have plenty of parking. Depending on the time you get there, it could be busy. They have a waitlist. The bossam combo is the best deal. They have the freshest kimchi and unlimited banchan. The beef ribs are so tender and fall off the bone.

One of the best donkatsu I've ever had. Must visit! Will come back to visit California just for this restaurant.

The food was very yummy. One order of the galbi jim is already to fill up 3 girls. The service was also very nice and the staff are friendly. I would re-visit and recommend friends if they are craving for some authentic Korean food!

Great service and love their side dishes 5/5 pork bulgogi 4/5 a little too sweet but huge porportions. Bossam was amazing. Will be back

One of the best Korean restaurants in Irvine. Sweet taste. pretty good. It is friendly for kids. Large portions of stewed beef short ribs

We had a great experience dining here at TNT, we normally don't eat much Korean food but decided to give this place a try. The waitress helped us order some items for the menu for everyone to share. We loved the Donkatsu and the Galbi Jjim best, they were so full of flavor. The short ribs were huge. The place was clean and everyone was so wonderful. We'll be back to try more.

tl,dr: Nice place for some savory Korean ox and broth meal. Likes: + Delectable Korean broth and meat. + I love getting the nutritious Ugeoji Galbi Tang. It's the only one with both ox bone broth and beef short ribs. + Plenty of parking. + Utensils and napkins in the side drawer of the table. + Unlimited Korean staple sides. Non-likes: - only one restroom.

Everything tastes great! Everyone was very welcome and nice. The price point is also great for the size you receive and the Banchan is yummy

Fantastic comforting Korean meal! At this point I'm trying to think what I didn't like about the meal but I think the actual thought is what items did I like more than others because I really didn't dislike anything about my experience at Tang N Tang. Items ordered: Spicy Beef Bone Stew BOSSAM COMBO (w/ cold spicy noodles) Galbi Jim Taste: I expected to like the Galbi Jim the most and that's exactly what happened. It's just so good! I've had this dish at other places so I already knew what the overall flavor would be but I was still pleasantly surprised. The bones were huge, with tasty and tender meat. I really enjoyed the different style of rice cakes that come with the dish & how they didn't get soggy. You'll want to eat some plain white rice with this dish. So much flavor that you don't want to stop eating. Great balance of sweetness, spice, & savoriness. I have not had this style of beef bone soup in quite a while and while I'll admit I'm not a huge soup fan this was some really good broth. It just tastes so homemade with such a developed beef flavor and appropriate amount of spice. The spicy cold noodles I feel like unless you've had them they might throw you off, because it's not often you have cold noodles. But if you like chew give it a try. I enjoyed the chew of the noodles like always do with this dish and I like that the flavor didn't taste watered down like I've had at some other places. Major points for the "bear ice cube". Nice aesthetic. Be sure to add some hot mustard. Always makes it better. Bossom is not a dish I get often since I'm not a huge pork fan but I still enjoyed it here. Like all the other dishes it just came out look really fresh & it's fun to make a little bite with the cabbage & some banchan. Makes for a good bite. The overall vibe of the staff gave me the positive Korean vibes since they were so friendly and informative about the food. There were lot's of older, large Korean groups eating here, so that's a good sign, right!? Parking is very easy since it's basically in an Hmart plaza so there is a sizeable lot. If you're looking for some food not lacking in flavor check them out. Cheers!

I love a comforting hot soup and this place was great. You can add salt to your soup to customize to your taste.

Food- Had beef rib soup- with not much meat on the bone at all. :( I've had much more meat at Tang on Jeffrey.. Service- Good

The galbi tang is one of my favorite Korean soup, and this place had one of the most flavorful broth. Only wish they provided more short rib meat that wasn't on the bone as that made it a little difficult to eat. Other than that, service was great and the banchan was very delicious!

Just moved to the area and trying out the different restaurants near by. I have been back to TNT 3 times now and tried different things each time. If the food is good enough for my Korean mother then it's good enough for me. We've had the soondae gook, haejang gook, yukgaejang, galbi tang, and gamjatang. Everything was delicious. I only have a problem with their take out packaging. We don't usually finish the food in one sitting and there's no way to repack the food in the packaging once you peel off the plastic seal. But that's a personal issue and doesn't really affect the food.

The food was delicious but the service could've been better. I don't know if it's because my friend and I look young, but I felt that the servers treated us poorly compared to other patrons. They seated us at the worst possible table with the sun unpleasantly shining directly on us despite other tables being open. We asked to move to a different table, which we did. The waitress came up to us and asked to move us a second time to the very back table in the corner with no salt or seasonings. They also did not refill our banchan. Overall, was a weird experience. The seollongtang, on the other hand, was very good. I appreciated the flavor and the portion size.

We went to this restaurant many time but it's our first time trying Fried Tteokgalbi. It's a Korean beef dish made of minced beef short ribs. It's so delicious , it's crispy outside and juicy tasted meat. I would recommend it!

This restaurant serves huge portions! The four of us ordered three dishes, and we still couldn't finish them. Their beef bone dish is highly recommended--absolutely delicious! The chicken steak is massive too! The taste is really great!

what we got: LA galbi, spicy beef brisket noodles, buckwheat cold noodles, and donkatsu Each dish has a huge portion at such an amazing price! Everything was so comforting and deliciousThey have a huge selection of korean food on the menu, so definitely have to come back to try more. The staff are so friendly and was very informative about everything. I highly recommend this gem! I love their simple interior! such a clean and spacious restaurant. I especially love their table drawer that stores all your utensils

yay for finding some delicious SEOLLONGTANG! Very generous amount of meat, perfect and clean flavor point as well. My husband and son got the SPICY PORK BELLY SOUP and PORK BELLY SOUP both were very impressed and enjoyed their food. We also got the MINI SOONDAE for an appetizer, we were not impressed by this and wouldn't order again. Service was great, the waitresses were very nice and helpful despite being very busy that night. The restaurant was clean and had a decent amount of seating. Will be back soon for more SEOLONGTANG.

We got the mul naengmyun and seollangtang and omg was the seollangtang good. So naturally rich and flavorful, it healed my hangriness post wisdom tooth extraction. The mul naengmyun was average but I like the cute touch of the iced bear. The banchans were nothing to rave about either but the service was spot on. I love all the ahjummas that work here they make me feel like I'm eating at my korean friends house, I'll definitely be back whenever I crave seollangtang.

This place is heaven! Everything is absolutely delicious. I'm not sure why they only have a four star rating, this food is amazing

came here ab 3 times so far, love their cold noodles, galbi, and soondae soup!! (the pork belly soup was also pretty good but imo the soondae soup is better) service is good, place is clean, def recommend
