At the Gardena location, I tried the banchan crafted directly by Kim Young‑sook, a certified Korean culinary master, along with the chadol + samgyeopsal + nakji stir‑fry combo, kimchi stew, steamed egg, and cheese pancake. Her banchan are known for being: Never excessive Focused on the natural flavor of each ingredient Clean, balanced, and beautifully composed Served with a banchan cover that keeps everything protected and perfectly neat. Each dish feels like a quiet supporter that enhances the meat without ever overpowering it. Chadolbagi : The richness is unbeatable -- pure, clean beefy flavor. Samgyeopsal : A perfect match with aged kimchi. Truly a dream pairing. Nakji-bokkeum : Sweet, salty, and spicy all at once -- the kind of flavor that makes you reach for a spoonful of rice immediately. Cheese Pancake : Crispy outside, soft inside, with melted cheese wrapping around the green onions. Great texture between bites of meat. Kimchi Stew : The depth of aged kimchi comes through clearly -- not harsh, just clean and comforting. Steamed Egg : Soft, fluffy, and cloud‑like. Simple but perfect.

The dakgalbi was fire and the soju (saero-another must for me) was nice and cold. Ambience was nice with kpop setting the vibe. Service is great also, very attentive and cordial.

Highly recommended! The Vibe: Soft lighting and very chill atmosphere. The Food/Drinks: Always spot on. Since it's korean food, expect spicy, but they're willing to adjust spicy level if you ask, which is really nice! The Service: Great service even when the place is packed. Parking Tip: Plenty of space. Definitely try the Grilled Pork Belly , Spicy Black Bean Noodles and Cheese Corn!

Everything was flavorful and the meats were high quality. The portions were also generous enough to make this a great place to share with a group or to take home for your next meal. The banchan were also a highlight. I really liked the kimchi. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed including water refills. It's a casual place and an awesome spot to spend time with friends and family. Definitely worth checking out if you're in gardena and want something beyond the usual kbbq! definitely coming back

We tried marinated chicken which my picky eater mom enjoyed because it was delicious and wasn't charred. They gave only four kinds of banchan, but they were so good. I particularly like the kimchi flavor--I think it's the best tasting one I've had in a restaurant. I still am not used to the beef soups being bland though. Maybe it's supposed to be that way. The staff was friendly and let gave the kids a pen to write on their wall. They remind me of the Korean moms/aunts who work tirelessly in the kitchen to make sure their guests have the best quality food. Will go back there for more when we are in the area again.

South Bay Jinmi is located in a small strip mall with Moon BBQ with a small shared parking lot…read more Since my husband and I were in the general area, we decided to grab lunch. My husband found this little hole in the wall on Yelp. Inside this little tiny place are a handful of tables. The space itself is a bit cramp and small. When we came in, we were greeted by an older gentleman. He was slowly making his way to help this other table. He also tried to clear a table when we saw us. We ended up deciding to sit at a small table on the wall in one of the corners. The table itself needed some cleaning (I actually carry disinfectant wipes in my purse and took one out to wipe down the table because there was red splashes of maybe soup that was on the table and napkin dispenser). The menu is on a large banner at the front of the restaurant, right above the kitchen and there is also another menu on the wall. After looking it over, we ended up ordering: Complementary Banchan- We had 6 different little dishes brought to our table. I did like the variety. Of the 6, I liked the potato the best, but it was a little soggy and oily though. Beef Rib Soup, $20.99 prior to tax- My husband ordered this dish and he enjoyed it. I didn't have any at all. This dish also came with a side of rice (you can choose between steam white rice or purple rice, my husband picked the purple rice). There wasn't that much meat in this dish. Clam Noodle Soup, $18.99 prior to tax- Honestly after looking over the menu, nothing really called me to order. So I just picked this dish, but there was definitely a lot of clams in this soup dish. I liked the flavor of the soup, as it was not too salty and had a nice clean taste. There were glass noodles in the soup which was nice to have some starch with my meal. ------------------------------ (Total= $44.18 after tax, prior to tip) Service was very slow, as the man helping with the table service has a limp and you can see has trouble getting around. This did not bother us as we understood the man was not able to move faster (and honestly we were not in a hurry). There is only one woman inside the kitchen, whom I am assuming is the wife of the man. She took our order. When the man brought over our water and banchan, I do no think he was able to get to the corner where we were sitting so he placed those items next to the table next to us and we just slid it over to our table. We were never really checked on if we needed water or any refill on the banchan, but again, I am just going to give the benefit of the doubt that because the man was not able to get over to us, he just wasn't really able to see if we needed anything. Overall, I think my experience was just okay. I do love hole in the wall restaurants and this place definitely delivers. But I am just not convinced with the food. But my husband did like his meal and would come back but I don't think I would (also we are not in this area in general and only really visit Gardena and the South Bay maybe a few times a year).

We shared: - bossam pork belly wraps- so good. The sauce and veg it came with were delicious. - pork neck stew- spicy and good. - Since they ran out of lots of the pork bones they supplemented with a bowl of galbi jjim and it was so good/ very beefy and clear broth. Well seasoned and salted. - bibim naengmyeon- we asked for the spicy sauce on the side, but ended up mixing it in. So good and chewy and spicy. They gave us a complimentary bowl of the mul naengmyeon which was also so delicious and refreshing. - seolleongtang- it was so beefy and delicious. The banchan were so tasty. Definitely would come back to try more dishes... and eat the same ones from before haha!!

So this is my honest experience of this restaurant from my visit today at dinner time…read more It's not good. It about 60% full. Our food was mediocre at best. We ordered the galbi combo with spicy tofu. Soup was under seasoned and inedible. The galbi was the cheapest flaken cut you can buy at the Korean market. Its was fatty and full of gristle and was not cooked and was raw in the middle. The staff in Korean were bad mouthing and so sour working there it was sad. If you under staffed and unhappy then go to the back and scream and cuss but Why are you so sour and make sure the customers can hear you while passing by with the food and complain it's too busy ? There was one elderly lady maybe in her 80s with possibly her two daughters. They were sitting there for at least 45 minutes when the waitress came up and said I just want to double check your order that's when they realized that the waitress didn't even put their order in they were saying in Korean that please don't leave. Granny is here and we will get the food out as soon as possible and yet as they were leaving the table, you can see them with a smirk on their face. It was disgusting. The worst part is isn't actually even over there must've been a table of 20 across from us celebrating a birthday and they were there before we were and they must have been served at least an hour after us and the waitresses were so rude to them. I felt so bad for that party, but they looked so laid-back. I don't know if they really even noticed or cared. We ended up trying to pay for 10 minutes to get out of there and finally just got our own containers from the weight station a plastic bag and as they saw that we were leaving they finally took our payment Maybe this was an off night maybe there was a different cook in the back maybe they were so busy that they just couldn't pay attention to flavor any of their food or cook it thoroughly. Maybe they were short and someone called in for staffing. All I know is everyone with the prior reviews seem to have great service and food, but this is definitely not what we experienced and definitely not what the table behind us or the table in front of experienced This was by far hands-down, the worst experience. Hopefully this never happens to you cause we'll never come back.
