The Past Memories

I came here on a Saturday night. Parking was easy to find and we were seated almost immediately. They played kpop in the background. The booths are a bit outdated and the lighting is dark but it was a good atmosphere. I ordered the seafood pancake and spicy and sweet chicken. The seafood pancake is HUGE. I also ordered the lychee soju cocktail (both small and large). For the price, I would definitely order the large than the small.

Great place to hang out and eat with friends. The food is a lot better than other drinking places and great energy in the place. Would definitely come back here again!

Past memories is an all time classic and favorite for anyone in Garden Grove/Orange County, they open really late and the food and alcohol is always good. They cater to those who can drink bottles straight as well as cocktails with a side of a Korean home cooked meal. The price is on the cheaper side than if you want somewhere more mainstream in Buena Park or Irvine. The service here is very typical for a "hole in a wall" style Korean Pocha, use the ringer if you have to or wave them down if you want more food or drinks after the first 2 rounds of your order.

The space is very rowdy in the booths but out on the tables there are families eating with a quieter energy and ambiance, if you come in with a big group they can definitely accommodate that. Parking is very ample but make sure you don't park later than the closing time or there's a risk of towing!

this Korean food... was AMAZINGGG. Great place to hang with friends and eat delicious food. They have little munchie chips to start off your meal. Kimchi fried rice was amazing, crispy at some areas with a tangy bite of the kimchi! Wings were cooked fresh and the squid was good too. Not much of a fan myself bc of the chewiness but my friends loved it. 10/10 would go again when I'm in OC

Always great food and great service. My friends and I have been coming here for almost 20 years and it's been consistently delicious meals with generous portions, great for big groups and even good for families during early dinner hours. Try everything on the menu. You won't regret it. Just don't go expecting some crazy culinary experience.. it's a Korean pochang where you meet up for good food, a bottle of soju and no fussiness and if you go knowing that, you won't have unrealistic expectations and appreciate it for what it is.

Food and service was ok.  They changed a lot of their menu, was kinda disappointed that they didn't have a lot of the stuff we use to order.

Fun atmosphere for a company Farewell Party. Good food, varied menu, fast service... What more do you need? Linen table clothes? Not here, they don't need them...

I came here around 10PM for some drinks and food. There was no wait to get seated and the service was fast. I ordered the seafood pancake, spicy bbq pork with cheese, and the fried squid. The seafood pancake was super good, it was pretty filling and came with sauce. The spicy bbq pork was surprisingly good as well, and the fried squid was a bit chewy. It is definitely a nice spot to hang out and also for delicious korean food!

This used to be our go to drinking- snacking place since it opens until late. Everything is shareable size and you supposed to share while drinking soju. My favorites are the pancakes and lollipop chicken fried chicken. It's always a good time here when you walk out.
