I really like their brisket salad with vegetables dish even though it's kind of expensive the dressing is super tasty and I love all the vegetables in it! I wish there was a smaller portion so I can get it as a side every time I come because if I order this, I can't eat anything else because you have to eat it right away. It won't be good at taking home.. But I digress... Everything I've tried her has been very good! I've also had their big pile of meat with cheese on it and I like that too. It's not as big as the other big chain SND but I like that this place is just a few older Korean aunties working. Their banchan are super tasty!! whoever is doing it is doing a great job. I also had the pork soup with glass noodles last time, and it came with rice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a good place to hang out with a group and you can get dessert after nearby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My partner and I stopped by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to be seated right away. We ordered the premium gomtang and the yukgaejang. I will say the service is pretty slow, I'd keep that in mind especially if you're looking for a quick meal. I will say there's about 1.5 people working the front with 12 tables, so it would probably have been better if they had 2 people dedicated to the front. Both soups were good! The menu was a little difficult to tell what the difference between the options were. I wasn't sure what really went into the premium gomtang aside from the fact that it was a combo of meats. I will say that mine was very tendon heavy, so if that's not your preference, I'd lean away from the premium gomtang. My partner liked his yukgaejang. The banchan was good, but I did feel like the kimchi was purposefully on the saltier side as to complement the gomtang. Overall, solid place and would return. read more

Loved our Sunday lunch here! Super tender and tasty sizzling braised beef with cheese ($67) and beef brisket noodle soup ($20) was just perfect! Banchans were delicious and fresh. We were craving Korean food, searched Yelp and this popped up. What a fantastic find. Servings are generous and we ate left-overs the next day and it still tasted great! We'll definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. Glad to discover another type of Korean cuisine. Happy to support this local mom & pop business! The lady owner was the only server/busser on a busy Sunday and she hustled back & forth. Highly recommended! read more

All their dishes are great. Loved their soups (but pork stinks a little) Very authentic and well flavored! Side dishes are good and cold noodle is favorful as well. but there is only 1 server and service could be bit slow. read more

Brothers Gom Tang - Soup Near Me - Buena Park, California

It was our first time here, and we got seated right away. I ordered the beef brisket flat noodle soup ($21.99). These were knife-cut noodles in a non-spicy, clear beef broth. There was the option to make the soup spicy, but I thought it would've been too much for me based on the pictures I saw. It was pretty pricy for a noodle soup dish, but there was complimentary banchan: pickled peppers, kimchi, radish, and fish cake. There was also salt and pepper on the side to add flavor to the broth. However, even without the condiments, I feel that the broth could've been more flavorful. Also, for the price charged, I feel like there could've been more pieces of beef brisket. The kimchi, fish cake, and pickled peppers were really good. The peppers came in a delicious sauce that was simultaneously savory, sweet, and spicy. It was a nice to dip the beef brisket in this sauce. The kimchi was not sour too. We also got additional fish cake upon request. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant got pretty loud, and it was a little hard to flag our server.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Amazing food and service, but please hire additional staff! My husband and I came to Brothers on a rainy morning for some hearty, soupy Korean food. I ordered the Galbi Tang, he ordered the Yukgaejang, and we shared a plate of steamed Kimchi dumplings. The food was excellent; clean, hearty, and very flavorful. We felt terrible there was only one server handling the entire restaurant all by herself! I'm sure the kitchen was short-staffed as well because the food was delayed (albeit, worth the wait if you have time to spare). The only server was busy not only seating new diners, but bringing food out, receiving and processing to-go orders, and pretty much running all over the place. I would highly recommend them hiring additional staff, at least during the lunch/dinner rush. The restaurant is located in a busy plaza sharing a parking lot with other restaurants off Beach. read more

Great korean soup that taste like how mom would make it especially if my mom was korean. I normally dont eat the radish kimchi but here, I eat all of it. read more

This is rather newish place in a very busy mall so parking here is hit or miss. This really didn't disappoint. Banchan was spectacular and you can tell right away the kimchi as well as the kimchi radish is homemade and was still crisp while tasted very freshly made The superstar was the galbi Jim which we order a large and added more glass noodles which I highly suggest that you do. 5/5 special dish as while it stews the noodles absorb more of the deep broth . It also comes with rice cake so that a bonus . We also had the classic beef ribs stew and it's as good and any I've had in Korea . My only gripe was they gave us extra rice which I didn't ask for but proceed to charge us for it when the check came. In the future I'll just make them take it back read more

This is my favorite soup spot in Buena Park. It beats out many of its competitors. The food is great and the side dishes (banchan) is solid! Meat portions are great and the customer service is seriously 100/10. The lady is so polite and respectful! My friend group goes there quite often and they love us! You can get rice refills for the hungrier eaters! Would highly recommend! Great prices, great service, great food! What more can you ask for? Oh yeah!

This casual and unassuming Korean restaurant has super delicious soups. You know the food is going to be good when the banchan is high quality. The kimchi has great texture and I loved the chunks of radish. I ordered the dumpling rice cake soup. Portion is huge and I was able to save it for a second meal at home. The soup is very comforting homey, and they don't skimp out. Each dumpling was full and stuffed and there so many delicious soft rice cakes. Food came out quickly and service was good too! read more

A really good Korean spot in the area! My mom approves. We liked the beef brisket soup-- bold and refreshing. The spicy cold noodle came second. Our orders: Beef brisket knife cut noodle soup 차돌칼국수 (21.99) Beef brisket soup 형제곰탕 (19.49) Spicy cold noodle 비빔냉면 (17.99) read more

I've been coming to this place for a couple years now and every time I go, the food, service and experience is always great! This place specializes in soups but honestly, everything on their menu is yummy! I usually go with the gom tang (곰탕) they also offer a spicy option! The kimchi dumplings (김치 만두) are tasty and I always get them as a side dish! I don't know if anyone mentioned but their kimchi (김치) and kimchi radish (깎두기) is soooo good! I love it and ALWAYS asks for seconds! Super fresh and just the right amount of flavoring! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant feels like a local soup spot in Korea with alcohol as an option to enjoy with your meal, if that's your thing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lot of people come here to get away from the noisy crowds and hyped up spots and come to enjoy a nice meal with warm, hearty food and catch up with friends with shots of soju and glasses of beer![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Brothers Gom Tang is sooo delicious. If you're craving authentic Korean food, this spot hits every time. The side dishes are so yummy and always fresh. The soups are incredible. The gom tang is rich and comforting and the buddae jiggae was sooo good. Perfect spice, perfect flavor. They also have great beer specials which makes it an easy go to for a chill night out. Overall this place is a winner and we keep coming back. Highly recommend if you want real Korean comfort food done right. read more

Galbijim for the win! If you want a home cooked, delicious meal with friendly service, this is the place to go. The service is wonderful, the lady made sure we had everything we need, refill our drinks often and made sure our banchan were always full. I had to let her know we didn't need anymore. This is our second time here and we will continue to keep coming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Best part, it's quiet and not busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Looking at their service, it seems they have a lot of to go food or we just came super early for dinner. read more

If you are ready to go slightly beyond the wonderful world of Korean BBQ, Tofu soup, and bibimbap, authentic Korean beef soup is something to try. Brothers Om Tang is the place that specializes 'Tang' which I think means soup in Korean. A couple of ways to enjoy this as a group, we ordered their signature Braised Beef Short Rib soup and Chive Pancake to share, and we ordered a few more noodles and soups. It was definitely too much food for the 4 adults and 2 kids (so we can bring some home to enjoy later) and we get to try out several things. Everything was excellent, including the complimentary appetizers. Service was friendly and prompt . The seating area was clean and comfortable, and there are plenty of parking spaces in this busy mall. read more

I came early to wait for X-Sushi to open, but my party was running late and I had about 40 minutes to kill, so I stopped by here thinking I was able to grab a drink. Yes.. it was only 10:40am on a Saturday morning and people would think that it's too early for soju, but that's how I develop patience for being punctual and putting our names down on the waitlist for the designated dining place. The hostess was very nice and approachable. She was blindsided by my request to just order soju and wait. I guess it was too early or it was weird to not eat anything so I wasn't allowed to order just soju. That was fine. I ordered a side of the pork Mandu (dumplings) and was presented with some banchan along with my Chamisul soju. I have to say that the banchan slapped so hard and good. The fishcakes were tender, flavorful, and not mushy. It had a slightly chewy texture. The radish kimchi was perfection! It was still crisp and wasn't over seasoned. The kimchi was pretty good, too, and not OVER fermented. The mandu was the best I've had in a while. It was full of pork filling and the thickness/ratio of the dumpling skin was just right. It came out hot and I loved that the pork wasn't overly cooked that it turned dry. Also, the pork flavor was just right. It wasn't overly porky. I will come back to try their soups. Honestly, their soju pricing is pretty darn good as well. I was glad to try their foods. I ate less at X-fish but it was our friend's bday lunch so it didn't matter. I'm honestly more interested about this place than X-fish, which was pretty good, too. read more

I've been here a couple times and would say that this is a great place for Gom Tang in general. I would recommend the regular Dweji Gom Tang over the spicy one, and would also try to come a less busy time. I would say that they are not exactly the quickest with their service, but the soup is definitely clean. Parking isn't bad (can go in the back lot if it's crowded). read more

The broth here was good. The 1st time here blew us away a Wednesday afternoon. We recently came back a wk later and the broth wasn't as fatty as the first time but still good.

If I could give this place six stars, I would. We ordered the spicy Galbi Jjim with flat glass noodles, and let me tell you.... this is hands down the best we've had in Orange County (sorry, Jin Cook in Cypress, you've been dethroned). Service deserves its own paragraph. The entire dining room was run by one older lady who was somehow taking orders, bussing tables, and refilling sides without breaking a sweat. She deserves a raise, a vacation, and probably her own K-drama series. Absolute legend. Onto the food.... The meat in the Galbi Jjim was tender and easy to enjoy without a fight, though we still found ourselves happily gnawing on the bones to get every last morsel. The sauce had just the right kick and the rice cakes were soft and chewy. The glass noodles were the stars in our opinion.... quietly stealing all the flavor for themselves. SO GOOD! Bottom line: We'll 100% be back. If you love Galbi Jjim, prepare to find your new favorite spot. read more

Brothers Gom Tang - Spicy gomtang. Even though the broth is super red, it wasn't even that spicy. However, the meal was still tasty! - Soup Near Me - Buena Park, California

Had dinner here with my husband and we ordered the medium spicy Galbi Jjim ($60). The meat was flavorful and tender, and we both enjoyed the overall dish. That said, my husband felt the sauce was a bit too thick for his taste. We're not Korean, so we're not sure if that's the traditional style, but we've had Galbi Jjim at a well-known spot in Ktown LA where the sauce was thinner and slightly more balanced. The banchan (side dishes) were excellent--fresh, tasty, and plentiful. Easily 5 stars on that alone! Each dish had a clean, homemade flavor and really complemented the main dish well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is very clean and modern, with a comfortable atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's located in the X-Fish restaurant parking lot, which can be a bit tight and competitive when it comes to parking, especially during peak hours--just something to keep in mind. Overall, it was a solid meal and we'd definitely come back to try more of the menu. We noticed the Galbitang seemed popular, so that's on our list for next time! read more

About one week left for their October special ~50% off the pork gomtang! Such a great deal making it only $8.99 instead of $15.99. Dined here on a weeknight and it was pretty empty inside though the parking lot was packed from the surrounding restaurants. The server was extremely attentive and quick to serve us water and banchan. Pork gomtang: the broth was very flavorful and perfect for a cold day. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of pork that was in the soup as well. My friend got the spicy one and it had a small kick to it. Pork belly and soup: Generous portion of pork belly and was a good balance of fat and meat on each slice. This was served on a butane burner so it kept it nice and hot the whole meal. read more

RIP to yuk dae jang that was here, but replaced with an equally great korean soup place. This place was good quality galbi tang. We also go chive pancakes which were good too. But the winner was the banchan! The kimchi was nice and pickled with hints of spice and sweetness to perfectly pair with the soup and everything else. Service was good, it wasn't a busy day and even with it was the previous location, this place didn't get too busy. Nothing much changed about the decor, more of a rebrand and recipe change up, but still worth a visit on a cold evening when I crave korean style soup. It's slightly above the cost of the previous prices so inflation is where it's at. read more

We came in on a weekday evening and there was only one table of customers...[[HIGHLIGHT]]it was a clean restaurant[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], decent side dishes, and a bit of a longer wait for the galbijjim.

Five stars for the great food and service. The restaurant is clean and the food came out quickly. The galbi jjim was so flavorful and tender. The dish arrived to our table boneless, which was a surprise, but it actually helped since we were in a rush with a very bored toddler and there was plenty of meat. The chives pancake was crispy. Green onion salad was also nice to have as a side. Plenty of seats and parking is available. Overall, highly recommend. read more

4.5! We arrived at 1p on a Saturday lunch, and there was no one else. We got seated immediately. Galbi tang: there was an abundance of meat with glass noodles. The soup was good Army stew: this was ginormous! And also ~$40, which was pricier than I'd imagine. I enjoyed all of the ingredients in the stew and it was a manageable spice level for someone who doesn't eat too spicy. The thick ramen was nice for soaking up the sauce. Pork belly: my favorite dish! each dish had the perfect amount of fat and each piece was very identically sliced. I loved how thin and tender the meat was, I'd get it again!! These three dishes were apparently four serving sizes, we received four complimentary bowls of rices. read more
