Annies Table - Irvine (CA)

5 /5 Ashley W: We had such a great lunch at Annie’s Table in Irvine! It’s one of those hidden local spots that feels warm and welcoming the minute you walk in. The atmosphere is clean and relaxed — a perfect place to grab a delicious meal without any fuss. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home, which made the whole experience even better. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. From the comforting bowls to the tasty sides and drinks, it all hit the spot. It’s also cool that they have fun drinks like boba, and smoothies if you want something extra with your meal. Annie’s Table is definitely worth checking out — we’ll be back!

5 /5 Yoshi B.: Annies Table is a cute little restaurant tucked away in this plaza next to Blizzard. With pre-made Korean sides and packed foods you can take to go or heat up, they offer fast lunch options in a clean, cafe-styled place. While the place is tailored to the business lunch crowd (theyre closed by 6pm and grab and go oriented), but they do serve fresh, made by the order meals and drinks. I didnt get to try a drink this time, but they looked colorful and delicious. For lunch, I tried a classic - bibimbap. And every vegetable was cooked and seasoned perfectly and the meat was pleasantly sweet and savory but not too sweet like some bulgogi in bibimbap. Um... I accidentally ate the whole bowl by myself so I think that speaks for itself! The staff was so friendly and looked so happy to see me devour my bowl. I also ordered a few items to go and ate them heated up at home the next day. There are SO many options! Between items like pickled lotus root and even chicken congee, I was tempted to get so many things but landed on mapo tofu, spicy eggplant, and kimchi pajeon. The mapo tofu was on the sweeter side but very flavorful and a nice change of pace from the numbing spice versions Ive had lately. The eggplant was so tender, delicate and bursting with bold flavor. And the pajeon was a nice tasty treat when air fried. I would definitely be back to try more of Annies food. For those stopping in for lunch during their work day, I recommend ordering ahead and enjoying their freshly made Korean comfort foods. Enjoy the cozy vibes!

5 /5 Jan Birkelbach: Delicious freshly made food, reasonable prices, friendly service, very clean and welcoming.

3 /5 Chris P: My husband and I went there due the first time today. The place was very clean and comfortable. The service was fast, friendly and polite. I ordered clam soup noodles and it was only on in that the soup was all right and the clams were small and they were not cleaned as I chewed on since grains of sand. The noodles were very overcooked and otherwise nothing to write about. My husband ordered the beef bulgogi bowl. According to him, the vegetable were very overcooked and otherwise the taste was a little off compared to other traditional Korean restaurants. Sorry for this harsh review, we were hoping to rave about their food. However, everything is very clean especially the refrigerator.
