It has quite a few seating spots in the front of the shop but there's also seating areas throughout Rodeo 39. We ordered the katsu chicken and shrimp mix plate and the spam brûlée musubi. The flavors were so delicious with their kimchi butter really making the dish! And I loved the brûlée on the spam musubi. I'd say this wouldn't be the place for veggies but would definitely come here again!

Came last Sunday to introduce a couple of friends to Rodeo 39 right at 11 am opening. I ended up…read morewith Shootz and ordered the Kimchi Butter Shrimp plate. It was delicious and portion size was great, but the service and promo were frustrating. They had a huge sign advertising FREE Ube Beignets for downloading their app. The cashier told me to download it and redeem it in-app. I tried, but the app didn't have clear instructions on how to redeem. When I went back to ask for help, the original cashier brushed me off saying she was on break, and a male server told me they didn't even have any Ube Beignets available??? Umm, wait it's less than an hour past opening time. Being "out" of a front-and-center promo item 30 minutes after opening feels like a bait-and-switch. Take the sign down if you can't honor it. Food is good, but the experience left a bad taste.

First time here upon the high recommendation from my brother and sister-in-law. There were four of…read moreus so we ordered 4 items to share family style so that we could try more dishes. Clean, bright atmosphere inside. No wait at 12:15 p.m. today. A group of 4 middle school boys sat behind our booth and did a similar thing, sharing their entrees and bantering in a lively hilarious manner. The staff was friendly and helped us choose a fourth item. Weekday lunch special is buy two and get a third item half off! We prdered the giant chicken katsu on curry rice, the Dawa chicken, the dduk bokki, and bibimpap with bulgogi. All of the dishes came out piping hot and perfectly made--so many sweet, salty, spicy flavors and plenty of textures to enjoy. I appreciated the plentiful cold water at the table to accompany this flavor-packed dining experience. We asked for seconds of the cucumber kimchi because it was also so good. My favorite was the bibimpap with bulgogi--sooo scrumptious. The giant flattened chicken katsu was impressed as promised. And we even had leftovers to take home! If you get a chance, highly recommend!!

Incredible. First time here and it did not disappoint! Will be back!!…read more We got the army Ramen and the Dawa chicken. The sauce on the chicken is nothing short of amazing, it satisfies the palette in an incredible way, and the Bonchon that accompanied it was extra good. That was my first time having pickled radish and I will now seek it out at other Korean establishments. The army Ramen was also good though they were a little stingy with the cheese. There was like half a slice on it. I want that thing nasty and oozing. We got seated right away and the hosts were very friendly. It's a pretty small place with roughly 10 tables. The noise level was a little loud. 10/10 would recommend

Cozy, korean comfort food. Not necessarily a hole in the wall, but it's hidden away in the corner…read morebehind the Grams. The servers are aunties that won't check on you after every bite but will come over the second you raise your hand. I took my mom for lunch and we dug in a little too quick - photos were snapped after we've made a small dent on the food. We got the Seolleongtang and soondae platter which was plenty to share between two people. We ended up taking half of the soondae platter home and enjoying it for breakfast the day after. For those not familiar with Seolleongtang, the soup comes out very basic. You're given a bucket of scallions, a little pot of salt, and shaker of ground pepper to season the broth as you please. I recommend adding a few spoonfuls of the radish kimchi sauce. Speaking of the banchan, Jong Ro prepares some of the freshest and most flavorful banchans on the street. I wish they offered a menu option that was just a bowl of rice and bottomless banchan. The soondae was perfectly springy, paired with a salted shrimp sauce and flavored salt dip. The platter also came with boiled (or steamed?) pork belly, pig ear, and other pork innards that were nicely cooked. I love restaurants like this because they are simply good at what they do. Nothing is over-the-top. There is always a constant stream of customers. The times I've gone have been during your typical slow hours and the place was always 60% full. I imagine the house is full during dinner time or on weekends and rightfully so. Definitely stop by if you're looking for a heartwarming and belly filling comfort meal.

Really solid gyu katsu!…read more This was my first time trying gyukatsu and I was really wowed by the whole experience. I love how you can control how you want the steak cooked with the hot slab! I expected the meat to be slightly chewy but it was actually really tender despite how long you cook it! It goes so well with the wasabi and salt! I got the udon combo but found it to be A LOT of udon, so I would probably just get the gyu katsu separately next time! The service was on top of it, they were quick to switch out the hot slabs when it got cooler or reignite the flame! The restaurant is pretty small and a nice place to enjoy their happy hour! I do wish they invested in better cups as the paper cups got soggy quite fast~

Dreams really do come true! And whatever you do, don't skip the elote. It's so fragrant and tasty. Then save room for dessert because the warm brownie banana bread, fresh from the oven, is the perfect finale. What really makes this place special isn't just the food - it's the vibe. It feels less like a restaurant and more like a neighborhood backyard party where everyone knows each other. The owner greets regulars by name, welcomes first-timers like old friends, and before you know it, you're chatting with the table next to you while burgers sizzle on the grill. Some places serve great burgers. This place serves great burgers AND makes you feel like you belong.

This slow cooked broth is one of my favorites and I have tried many places in Orange County and Los Angeles County. You will discover a rich, milky broth that hits all the right notes.

This is my recommendation From the friendly staff who helped with my order to the cook who made the excellent broth and the comfortable, clean, modern dining area ... everything came together nicely.

I ordered the beef bibimbap in the hot stone pot and 1 bottle of Chamisul Fresh. The bibimbap was good and they used a good cut of beef for it. What blew me away was their Salgogi Sullung Tang that came with the entree. It was super rich, flavorful, and hearty. The bottle of soju was highly affordable at $10. Another close friend of mine was heading over to attend the latter part of the service, so she met up with me for lunch. She ordered the beef rib soup and she loved it. The broth was strained well, but had a lot of depth and flavor. The banchans were good, too. I would come back to this place if I'm in the area or if another celebration of life happens. The venue was clean, bright, quaint, and the waitress was SUPER nice. She managed the front of the house by herself on a Saturday morning/afternoon. A lot of locals come here and I'm glad because their food is legit good.
