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.

Korean/Chinese restaurant. Friends and I checked this place out on a random Saturday night. Food was amazing. Definitely get the nachos (super underrated IMO)! We also got wings, omurice and a few other things to share. We didn't have a bad bite of food at all. Relaxed ambiance. Seating inside and out (covered patio area). Inside was kind of a chill bar vibe. They LOVE the Dodgers there haha. The service was great as well. They were all attentive and super friendly. Will definitely visit again!

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!

Really delicious Korean bar food!!!! The food was very affordable, we ordered corn cheese, steamed egg, popcorn chicken, Korean fried rice, and honey soy wings. Everything was delicious and portions were good, we had food left over. The vibe was nice to come with a group of friends. Outdoor seating in evening wasn't too cold since there were heat lamps and very cutely lit up on the patio. Would come here again!! Service was really nice too, they threw in a free beer for us for moving to a smaller table which we were happy to do so as we had a small group.

Great place to come here for late-night snacks and drinks with your friends. This place has such a great variety of snacks and drinks. Peach Cocktail and Mango Cocktail: The wine glass rim is coated with sugar. There are plenty of chopped fruit in the drink either mango or peach. There's a cute heart-shaped ice that has a slight bit of juice. The drink itself is on the sweet side so you won't notice the alcoholic taste that much. This drink is one of my favorites for anyone who loves their alcoholic drinks to be sweet.

cafe patio is SO YUMMY! It feels like a little piece of Korea in DTF. The ambiance is very intimate and I feel so at ease when coming here. I especially enjoy their happy hour. you get a variety for a fraction of the cost. Service is super friendly and pretty quick considering the food is all made to order. kimchi fried rice and the jajangmyeon noodles are out of this world. A must try!! Parking is very limited but it's worth checking out.

I used to come here all the time with my sister and we absolutely loved it. We don't live particularly close so we eventually just stopped going but my boyfriend and I were in the area, on our way to another restaurant and I saw Cafe Patio and honestly freaked. I was so excited, I completely forgot how delicious this place is and I knew right there our other dinner plans were going out the window and I'm so glad my boyfriend got to experience the deliciousness that is Cafe Patio! The service is amazing, extremely attentive and really quick, they also have service buttons at the table and once it's pressed you wait seconds before someone shows up, the ambiance is really chill so it makes for the perfect little date night spot but also a great place to watch a game and converse with friends. The food is beyond delicious, I don't think I've ever had something from here that I didn't absolutely love. The vegetable egg rolls were cooked to perfection and I actually really liked that they cut them in half, the sweet and sour sauce was a really good paring. The bulgogi fries were always a must so my boyfriend ordered those and they were good but we definitely wished there was more bulgogi and when we asked for an extra side of it, the waiter said because of pricing and their system, they couldn't do that but all in all, still delicious. My absolute favorite thing used to be the soy garlic wings, I could eat so many of those and still want more but I wasn't feeling wings so I ordered the fried spicy garlic entree with chicken (comes with rice) hoping it would essentially be the same thing and it was! It was everything I used to love and more! I love this place and I can't wait to come back here.

Cafe Patio mixes Asian food & fun pub. They have delicious Chinese & Korean dishes, including famous Korean bar food. Food is so yummy and lots of tasty drinks. Friendly vibes here! This place has the super tasty roasted pork with good sides. Spicy Chicken Cheese is cheesy and goes with rice. The traditional Korean soup and Military Stew with ramen, meat, rice, and Kimchi, all tasty and hot. Many TVs for sports. Great for hanging out and watching games. Service is super friendly, gave us great recommendations! Will definitely come back!

We came across this gem after a Costco run! We wanted something away from busy downtown... They have a parking lot, so we did not struggle trying to find a spot. We walked in and were greeted right away. The ambiance was perfect, there a couple tables with young people and a few with families, the music was 90's and low enough to hear but be able to enjoy a conversation. The food was very tasty and enough for 2-3! We took advantage of the happy hour and tried a few things, it was perfect! Will definitely come back and try more dishes
