Reviews for issé in Fullerton, CA
Friendly atmosphere and clean. The food was pretty good. The service could have been better (too preoccupied with friends at the... bar). May re-visit again. Read more
This is a review for an event I had at Isse. It was for my daughter's first birthday party. The hosts couldn't have been nicer... and it was a pleasure doing the event here. More than anything, the food was fantastic - like really, really good. All theguests pointed out that the food was top-notch. The place itself can fit like 50-60 guests and they are highly accommodatingfor any special requests. We don't like to put up pictures of our baby on social media, so I am just sharing pictures of theplace. Anyways, I highly recommend doing your next event here - or just going here because the food is really good. Read more
A Koreanized fusion restaurant with a decent selection of food. We tried the boodae chigae (Korean army soup) and it was an ok... anju with a bottle of soup. Pretty good hole in the wall, tucked away feeling atmosphere. Parking can be a bit challengingsince it's neighbor is a popular ayce kbbq and it can take all parking spaces. Read more
Issé is my Sunday funday. The Asian American fusion is something you won't find anywhere else. The atmosphere is clean and... welcoming. Definitely must try food, and a must go bar. Read more
Food was great, hospitality off the charts, and cocktails were fantastic. Jane and Andrew really make you feel welcomed and like... you are being hosted at their home. Love the vibe and will be definitely back here soon! Read more
Great food and great vibes. We originally came here to wait for the Korea BBQ next door. With no intent on staying we came here... for a couple drinks. Best choice we ever did. We ended up staying and cancelled with KBBQ. Great soundtracks, great and kindservers and the food is as great as their drinks. Overall I would definitely be coming back and recommending to everyone.

Came here after work with my friend to grab some grub and ended up very pleasantly surprised. I've seen Isse for a while now, as... I frequent Mr. BBQ, but I always thought it was just a bar tacked onto the ever popular kbbq place next door. Oh how wrong Iwas. No, the two restaurants are not affiliated in any way, and yes, they definitely have good food. All in all, it's 100%worth a visit, and dare I say it, more enjoyable than the loud and rambunctious neighbor next door. According to our server,they add 1 menu item each week, so it's always exciting to see what new stuff the chef and owner will come up with. What we gotwas the karaage chicken, pork belly bowl, and the beef bowl. I have to say, the pork belly was the star of the dinner. Thekimchi slaw is made in house, hence the flavor of it is not too acrid nor too funky. It's a perfect balance to cut the fattypork belly (which still retains some crunch Btw). The karaage isn't your typical karaage, but more of a southern fried chickenstyle. However, it's still very good thanks to the well marinated chicken thigh meat used. The mayo dip was a good complimenttoo. Beef bowl was good, but airs on the sweeter side. If only it used the same kimchi as the pork dish, I'd say it wouldstrike a perfect balance. Either way, it's got a calm atmosphere, great portions, delicious food, and reasonable pricing. Nexttime instead of stuffing yourself with kbbq and waiting 2 hrs in queu, stop by here instead!
