Came across this spot while in search for soju. This is an amazing spot to come in, hang out, eat well and have a few drinks. The service was great but the food was incredible! Ordered the steak tatare and cheese pork, both well seasoned, full of flavor, and fresh. The tatare decadent, served with fresh cucumber, garlic and Asian pear. The pork was sweet and spicy grilled with onion and topped with the perfect amount of cheese that melted wonderfully. The portions are big and those 2 ordered were shared among 4 people easily

Great atmosphere and delicious Korean food, what more can you ask. The prices may seem intimidating but you will get what you pay for since the portions are large. I thoroughly enjoyed the BBQ spare ribs and sweet and spicy chicken wings. I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

I come here all the time and all the food is absolutely amazing! It’s quite pricey but the portions are really big for most items so it is definitely worth it. The only consistent issue is that the service here is very cold. No matter how many times I come, the servers are pretty fast-paced and not super gracious. The other night, the staff turned on the bright overhead lights and turned off the music 30-40 minutes prior to closing. They are not usually rude, but this specific instance of being rushed out of the restaurant so far from closing was very disappointing. The staff’s demeanor was also very clear that they wanted everyone out; another group was also confused as to why it seemed the restaurant was closing. We always are very respectful and tip above 20% as the food is great and we want to have a good relationship coming back, but it doesn’t seem to matter. If it wasn’t for the service, it would be 5 stars!

Great spot for a late night hang with the homies. Korean bar food and very large portions. Got the tteokbokki with ramen noodles and seafood pajeon. My favorite was the seafood pajeon cuz its crispy with loads of seafood and green onions! The waitress was a little dismissive but overall, solid spot to hang at. Kid-friendliness: Not as kid friendly as there may be lots of drunk people at night.

Fun place to hang out. Food is good with huge portion. Though some dishes (seafood soup and snail salad with noodles) are not outstanding. I like the grilled chicken gizzards and kimchi fried rice.

Delicious, affordable, and authentic Korean dishes at large, sharable sizes. This restaurant also has a good number of traditional dishes that other Korean restaurants often don't have.

Past Memories is an amazing spot for Korean foods and drinks! The thing that stood out to me the most about this restaurant was the atmosphere. I loved the little Korean street signs and telephone poles that transported you out of the drab plazas of California and into the intimacy of Korean culture. In addition, the cozy seats and the layout of the restaurant really put together an atmosphere that welcomed a long night of drinking and laughing with friends. Onto the food. Amazing and a lot. My mouth was watering just smelling all the food around me and I wasn't disappointed when we received ours! You really only need 2 dishes for 3-5 people, they give a lot! We ordered the military stew and sea snail spicy salad, and I loved both of them. Our party of 3 couldn't finish either and the leftover military stew was still good for two more meals. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant. Past Memories should be your next stop for authentic Korean cuisine!
