The Past Memories

Great spot! The one time I didnt bring a korean friend and I was fineordered all the right things even got service bottle of sojulove the decor very similar to ktown in los angeles where I'm fromfood was quick and the employees were thoughtful and nicewould go backparking was ok, weekends expect to get busythey allow children in there too which is cool for the adults to get a little buzz on in a safe environmentwould go back if I'm in the areagreat place to think of past memories with your buds!

I recently visited Past Memories and was extremely disappointed with the experience. The service was incredibly slow and unprofessional. Our food took a full hour to come to the table. To make matters worse, the food arrived cold and tasted mediocre at best. I expected much better quality for the price. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.Overall: 1/10

In the middle December, my friends and I decided to go to past memories for a birthday dinner. Prior to this that last time I went to past memories was a month ish ago. This time I noticed they had changed their menu a bit. There was no JP love and a few new additions to the menu. I had come in expecting the usual experience here. Long waits which is fine because it's busy, but good food and vibes. The food was not what it was a month ago. The fries and the chicken in the picture below look like they were from the freezer and quickly prepared. Then they slapped a piece of cheese on top put it in the microwave and then served it to us. The food items came out nothing like the picture. It was also so pricy for what it was worth.. So disappointed and so confused as to why they changed some of their recipes. The quality has declined. Not sure if it was a bad day but I don't think I'll be coming back any time soon..

My friends and I came over to dine in after our night golf. The place was not as busy since it's the New Year. We ordered Army Soup to remedy this cold weather, lWe also ordered chicken wings and some soju. Service was great. Ambiance is always loud but vibey. We enjoyed our time here as well as our meal. Its always a treat

This spot is ideal to grub on some food to pair with your favorite drinks on a night out in town! My friends invited me to The Past Memories, and we all arrived until we became a big party. There are many tables around for big groups so this would be a nice choice for that. The menu has just enough of common Korean dish staples for drinking and had different types of Korean alcohol (soju, beer, & wine). Garlic Fries (3/5): These were just alright, a bit dry but not skimpy on the garlic. It could also use some salt too. Bacon Fried Rice (3/5/5): Didn't get a whole lot of flavors from this rice either, maybe I just prefer crisper bacon, but the meat didn't have much flavor from the bacon or maybe didn't fry the rice enough.BBQ Ribs (4/5): This was galbi and they had a nice marinade on them. It was served on a hot plate and cut into big pieces.Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wings (4/5): Never had chicken wings lollipop style! I preferred this way of the chicken prepared as it made eating easier. I liked this dish the most and felt like it was the most unique. Overall, the food here is typical Korean bar food so I'm not expecting the food quality to blow my mind. My rating for the overall restaurant would be 4 stars! Our service was attentive, and we received our items pretty quickly.

My husband and I always come here post- practice! We always crave Korean food and this is down the spot from where we train. We love the big portion sizes as well as the ambiance of the restaurant! We enjoy coming here and we'll be a forever customer!

This is definitely my favorite spot for Korean bar food. Everything was really good and I liked that they were playing kpop and had music videos playing. We ordered 3 dishes for 4 girls and had a lot leftoverEverything was a 5/5 out for me, and I would recommend all of these dishes (spicy rice cakes, kimchi fried rice, sweet and spicy chicken wings)

Past Memories is a Korean pub that's a favorite among locals. The warm, moody lighting, wooden booths, and decor create a nostalgic atmosphere that is true to the restaurant's name. My "past memories" include the seafood pancake and the spicy and sweet chicken wings. These are non-negotiable for me every visit. The seafood pancake has crisp edges with a soft, almost gooey center filled delicious fried batter, squid, and green onions. The spicy and sweet chicken wings are presented in lollipop style, and are more sweet than they are spicy. I have a bit of a sweet tooth, so that is perfect for me. My party will order other items here and there but nothing really impresses me as much as the two that I've called out by name. I do wish that Past Memories had a bit of a better variety in their menu. For example, I wish they did like a loaded bulgogi fries... I try to DIY it myself by ordering the butter cheese fries and dumping bulgogi on top, but it really isn't exactly what I'm looking for. My favorite "past memories," however, have to be drinking soju cocktails with my friends. I like to get the yogurt and lychee soju cocktails. You can't taste the alcohol too much, and they are yummy and sweet. They are the perfect complement to their smorgasbord of Korean pub food Past Memories has to offer.

Oh, Past Memories, you never disappoint... in the best and most hilarious ways. I used to hit this spot with my homegirls in college, but today, I decided to introduce my two teenage daughters to my legendary Korean drinking spot. Apparently, I forgot how "memories" can be a little different when you're not in your 20s anymore.I ordered my usual Soju, and the server, very seriously, asked if they could check with the boss first, because they had to "ID the whole group." I blinked. I was like, "Uh... those are my kids, they're not drinking my soju." The server still went to the back like I was trying to sneak in a round for my 14 year-old.Eventually, the manager comes by, hands me my drink and brings waters for the kids. Apparently, it's their strict no-underage-drinking rule in action, which is both responsible and, in my case, way too serious for a family holiday dinner.But anyway, enough about my "mom moment." The food here is STILL top tier even after 25 years! Here's what you really need to get:Kimchi fried rice - 10/10. It's the spicy, garlicky love you never knew you needed.Chicken lollipops - 9/10. Perfect for pretending you're at a fancy gala, even though you're just sitting in a booth. A lil smidge sweet though. Teobokki - 9/10. The chewy texture will make you rethink every other rice cake you've ever had.BBQ short ribs - 10/10. If you're not ordering these, what are you even doing with your life?Cheese corn - 9/10. It's corn. It's cheese. You get it.So, Past Memories, I'll be back for the food, but maybe next time I'll just bring my friends instead of my teenagers. Also, here's to hoping my Soju gets a little less side-eyed.

Came here pretty late at night at around 11 ish o clock and there was no wait time on a Wednesday night. The ambience is very chill, playing kpop music on the speakers and have a very authentic look to the interiors as well. I have came here before and was happy with my food and experience so I had to introduce a friend of mine to this place again.Half and Half Chicken Wings 4/5:This would've been a 5/5 but the only thing about it was that the non sauced up chicken just needed an extra option for dipping sauce or something. It was a little dry without any sauce. Other than that I loved the sauced chicken and it was perfect the way they lollipopped the wings.We also ordered drinks on the side but they took forever to come and I had to mention to one of the servers to bring our drinks but I don't blame them for it. Other than that I would come back here again for a good late night eating and drinking option with friends!
