Cafe Patio

Went here for my friend's birthday and the servers were fast and funny. The food was delicious and big portions. It was packed when we arrived and they had a lot of options for food! They also blasted everyone's ears with this hilarious birthday song.

Good service, checked on us multiple times, had soju cocktails - strawberry lemonade is very sweet so if you like that, then you knowGarlic fries were normal and what you'd expect from Korean bar food, it's a specific kind of thin stringy one that isn't too thin. Garlic dimension of it was soso unfortunately.the lights on the outside are quite nice, inside is spacious, unfortunately not as nice as the lighting outside but the windows allow the ambiance to come into the interior bar still.Only ~8 parking spots directly in front, which has a separate turn in from the street, best to turn into the OTHER lot entrance that is literally right next to it since there's like 7x more spots in that bigger lot. weird setup but whatever.Bathroom is outside and turn left in the alleyway.

Cafe Patio offers a creative menu with some hits and a few misses. I tried the omelette rice, crispy fried garlic chicken, volcano steamed egg, and bulgogi nachos. Most of the dishes were enjoyable, but one didn't quite meet my expectations.The omelette rice was comforting and well-executed. The fluffy eggs and flavorful sauce paired perfectly with the seasoned rice. The crispy fried garlic chicken was a standout--juicy, crispy, and packed with flavor, especially with the garlic adding a nice punch. The bulgogi nachos were another highlight, with tender bulgogi and a generous amount of toppings that balanced sweet and savory flavors.Unfortunately, the volcano steamed egg was underwhelming. It lacked the richness and fluffy texture I was hoping for, which felt like a missed opportunity given the concept.The service was friendly and attentive. The staff checked in regularly without being intrusive and made sure everything came out at a good pace.The ambience is casual and inviting, with a relaxed vibe that makes it a great spot for hanging out with friends or a casual meal. It feels cozy without being cramped, and the decor is modern but unpretentious.Overall, I enjoyed most of the dishes and would return to try more of the menu. While the volcano steamed egg wasn't my favorite, the other items more than made up for it.

Kelvin is the man! Give him a raise and also make sure to ask him to take a shot with you because he's down! As someone who used to be a server it was always an honor drinking with customers and it also builds connections with the crew. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday night around 8pm. Everyone was really nice and attentive. One Hispanic lady took our order but forgot to put it in but Kelvin came to save the day after. I'm sure she was busy and we were talking to her too so she got distracted haha. Food came out really fast though. - 1/2 and 1/2 noodles were great. 4/5- Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings were decent but not the best I've had. 3/5- Pork Belly Pork fried rice was pretty big but was standard. 4/5Overall, we had a good time with friends. I'd say it's a pretty typical pocha type vibe. Would get a better feel for all of the food but can't beat soju Saturdays! Definitely want to try the fried chicken gizzards next time! Great location with a lot of parking.

Hidden is a small strip mall of small ethnic restaurants, Cafe Patio was a nice find in Fullerton. This particular evening I was looking for a place to bring my laptop to do some work while enjoying a nice small meal lured in by the spicy won tons***** very delicious and only one more dish, the won ton soup****. Both were very satisfying and filling for a snack to work by. Easy parking, the staff were attentive and cordial. I stayed longer watching the end of a Lakers game as well as continuing the work from the day. Another plus was it is open late this Sunday evening till 11pm. Again the staff were very accommodating bringing me the to go containers and allowing me to stay well after completing my food and drink.

I want to start off with, they close the kitchen 2hrs earlier than what is stated on Yelp if it's not busy. It was a bummer when we showed up hungry as can be the first visit and were told they were closing the kitchen but that just grew our anticipation for the next time!The spot is really popular for their Soju cocktails. I ended up getting the berry flavor and was not disappointed! Definitely wasn't as strong as I thought it would be, but it was delicious and the popsicle in there was so refreshing and not too sweet halfway through my drink, I smashed up the popsicle into the cocktail and it tasted even better.My friends and I ordered a few items and shared, I think thats the best way to go about it. That way you can try a few different items at the same time! We shared the pork belly kimchi fried rice, we all got our own corn cheese, chili wontons, and the fried dumplings. We wanted the short ribs, but they're not on the menu anymore.10/10 kimchi fried rice and corn cheese is hands-down the best combo ever! Unfortunately, the chili wontons weren't the greatest and they came out kind of cold we couldn't finish them, the fried dumplings were huge! I've never seen dumplings that big before they were tasty, but had an interesting taste. We were so full at the end and glad we shared everything!Staff is super friendly, super helpful, they have a button at the table. If you need any assistance, they only come around if they see empty plates to clear them.They have inside and outside seating, we got there at around 6:30pm or so and wasn't too busy. They open at 5 PM so I wasn't too surprised but as time went on it started to fill-in. Didn't notice it getting too rowdy but a little now and then it would get loud. Nothing where it was a bother though. STAR OF THE SHOW WAS A PORK BELLY KIMCHI FRIED RICE I will be back soon!! I definitely recommend, such a great spot to catch up with friends! Also I didn't get everything pictured we were just so hungry hehe sorry.

Been here about 6-7 times now. I love the patio seating esp during summer nights. Just makes the ambiance be like a Korean pocha.The food here is good and love that they offer happy hour. The food here are in a reasonable price range and the waiters/waitresses are also so friendly here.I do think the gizzard I got was on the chewier side, seems like they used frozen and defrosted gizzard so the quality was okay but the flavor of the gizzard stir-fry was still good.Will continue to come back with friends!

Such a yummy place! The service was stellar and they were very kind. Came on a weekday early evening and no wait at all. Grilled pork belly was so so good. Generous portion (like 20 slices) with super flavorful chive salad and plenty of radish. Exactly what I was looking for. Bulgogi fries were very good, the mix of sauce with the bulgogi made for a delicious combo. Corn cheese was a generous portion and perfect temperature. It was VERY sweet, like sweeter than any corn cheese I've had. Like creamed corn with cheese. Their happy hour is from 5-7 pm on weekdays which was perfect! Had a $6 16 oz. beer to go with this delicious food. Everything came out quickly and we weren't rushed at all. Will be back!

This is my favorite Korean spot. Everything on the menu is good and they have happy hour. The roasted pork belly was delicious!

Love this place and would go again!! Food was amazing and the service was fantastic they were nice and made sure we like everything. If you go make sure you go hungry and have friends that like to eat, portion size is big. Thank you everyone at cafe patio!!
