Ireh Restaurant

Ireh Korean Restaurant offers an authentic taste of Seoul with the convenience of free parking. I ordered the Yukgaejang, a shredded beef and vegetable soup with a deep red broth that looked intensely spicy but was surprisingly well-balanced, rich, and satisfying. The beef was tender, and the vegetables added great texture. I also tried the mushroom and hand-cut noodles, which had a perfect chew and a deep umami flavor from the fresh mushrooms. From the comforting dishes to the authentic atmosphere, Ireh is definitely a go-to spot for traditional Korean flavors.Plenty of free parking. Also don't worry about ordering something you are not familiar with. The staff is so helpful.

Overall this restaurant is good, but I must say each item is a hit or complete miss.I have been here twice, and things I enjoy...Meat Jun, tteokbboki, la kalbi, seafood pancake, and pan fried mandu.Their soups can be a bit disappointing as they really skimp on the protein. The heavily do not recommend the kimchi jigae. It is such an easy dish to make so it is actually upsetting how bad it is here.. it was all stew and a few pieces of kimchi Restaurant is clean, but it does get a bit busy for dinner so expect a wait, even if you are calling in your order for pickup, it takes at least 30 minutes. I would still come back when I need my korean food fix, but I would only get the items mentioned earlier as the prices are very high so pick and choose wisely!

Ireh is one of my favorite places to satisfy my Korean food cravings! I usually order the cold noodles, but this time I got the fried mandoo and meat jun.This restaurant gets busy quickly, but the service is always great, and the food comes out fast--not to mention, it's BYOB! The meat jun was so tender and delicious, and the generous portion fed both my friend and me, with leftovers to spare! The fried mandoo was incredibly flavorful and juicy. You can really taste the love in this food!The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Good fresh home cooking Korean. Great kimchi in the banchan. Bulgogi Bibimbap was tasty with an interesting assortment of fresh veggies - leafier than what I'm used to. Mando were light crispy and plump - really delicious. The handcut perilla noodles were unusual, probably not our fave - a bit bland, both the noodles and the broth. Easy free parking in the same building. We'll definitely be back to try other menu items

My friends from high school plan an annual get together each year when one of us that now lives in California comes back home to visit. This year, we decided to try Ireh as many of us had been to their previous locations, but not the newer one in the condominium complex, Azure.I must give a huge high five to Azure for allowing free parking for the businesses that are in their building. My friends and I all agreed that we would be much more willing to frequent these businesses due to this reason. So many places charge for parking these days, so it's nice to see a condominium allowing patrons to park for free to visit the businesses.My friends and I ordered the spicy pork tteokbokki, kimchi pancake and Al Bap (rice, vegetables, kimchi, clover sprouts, nori and tobiko in a stone pot). While we enjoyed all of our food options, I think we all agreed that the spicy pork tteokbokki was the winner. I honestly was looking forward to the kimchi pancake the most as I hadn't had it in a while, but it lacked the crunchiness that I would want from a kimchi pancake. Being that it was served to us fresh, it should have been crunchy and not soft (as you would find if it had been sitting out for some time). The banchan options are minimal here as they only give you kimchi and pickled onions. I usually expect to see more options at Korean restaurants.Service was attentive and friendly. We had to ask for water a few times as they give you a smaller size carafe that we needed to share amongst the four of us. I would come back here, though. Their menu has many options that I would like to try. It's a nice atmosphere and like I said, FREE parking! I hope that doesn't change over time as I think that's attracts business.

I went here for lunch the other day with a friend. We ordered their cheesy tteokboki, fried mandoo and stir fried bulgogi. Everything was delish! Wish they have Kalbi order without rice. They give you complimentary barley tea here. They have a variety of yummy dishes here. Service was good too!

Near Ala Moana, Ireh is a clean and reasonable Korean restaurant. There is parking in the Azure building with the restaurant on the bottom floor facing Ala Moana. There was a bit of a wait but the staff was efficient and friendly. We got little banchan, which was nice, and ordered the kimchi fried rice and tteokbokki. Neither was super spicy to us and both were filling. We ended up taking leftovers home and it was all pretty tasty. This is a great Korean spot to stop by and try!

I've been going to Ireh since before it was at this location this the Walmart I love the little ladies in the back always cooking up a storm it's like home cooked food and you can really tell the people that put the love into the cooking every time we go we're greeting with such love and they love my son I love this restaurant just it's a gem in this big city

Gathered with the fam tonight and on the recommendation of Amanda & Felix, finally got to sit down for a meal at Ireh. Parking lot was easy with plenty of spots available (free). The service was attentive and friendly.In the menu tonight were the classics. LA Kalbi, Yangnyeom Chicken, Fried Mandoo, and Meat Jun. Kalbi was tender and sweet, Mandoo was crunchy and filled to the brim with a soft filling that tastes so good with a dash of soy sauce. The Meat Jun was so soft & flavorful and the Yangnyeom was spicy! I like it with a bit of heat and these wings had me reaching for the agua. The Kim Chee and pickled onion ban chan were so good that we asked for like 5 refills. Overall an awesome family style experience. Highly recommend and my fam and I cannot wait to go back to try more tasty items that they have to offer. Jeyuk tteokbokki? Yes please. Bulgogi hotpot? Stop it. Handcut noodles? Take my money!

I have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years, starting from its old location. Unfortunately, the food tastes worse than it did before, and I can't understand why this place is still busy during lunch. I will never go back. It's disappointing when a business relocates and the quality changes.
