    Combo
    Bella B.

    I love taking out from Gangnam Kimbap. Everything is good quality and delicious. I love their combos because you get a little bit of lots of yummy Korean food. Dipping their kimbap in their Tteokbokki is a must. Parking is tricky when it's dinner time because it's a small lot but if you get there early enough there's plenty of parking. Definitely recommend.

    Gangnam Kimbob has been my favorite spot as of late. It's been a while since one restaurant has been able to nail all three dishes at the same time. Kimbob, ddukbokee, and odeng soup... not a single dish performs less than the others and that's honestly truly difficult to do. Also service is excellent, always. I decided it was finally time to not gatekeep this place any longer hehe. I am also super excited to cater Kimbob from this place in the future because I already know it tastes good so seeing the platter makes me feel safe knowing the presentation AND taste will be perfect :)

    The bulgogi gimbaps were large and tasty, and I look forward to trying the rest of them! but what we really loved were the chicken skewers! Volcano skewers were too spicy for me but the flavor was good! I love the chili sweet ones.

    Stopped by for the house special roll and would definitely order it again. The combination of bulgogi, shrimp tempura, and vegetables worked really well together and made for a filling meal. The restaurant itself was clean and service was good. The only challenge is parking--the lot is shared with a nearby KBBQ spot, so it tends to get crowded pretty quickly. Still, the food was worth the hassle and I'd come back again.

    Takoyaki

    I love this place as an more unique specialized addition to the vast Cerritos restaurant landscape. Sure there were Korean restaurants with kimbob, but having a specialized kimbob restaurant for larger orders for family dinners or parties has been very convenient and delicious. The kimbobs are sizeable and every one of the flavors were good so I don't really have a favorite persay. And they do have other stuff like dumplings, takoyaki, deokbokki, etc. I found the price to be reasonable and the staff, which appeared to be mom and pop, to be friendly and accommodating. Interior is a little smaller and parking is in a smaller lot but shouldn't be an issue to find a spot. Would recommend!

    Keto, sesame leaf & tuna

    I had to grab a quick dinner because of a last-minute plan, so I looked for a kimbap spot around Cerritos and ended up here. The first thing I noticed was how big the menu is -- lots of variety, which I liked. I ended up ordering the keto kimbap, sesame leaf kimbap, and tuna kimbap. The price per roll wasn't exactly cheap, but each one was packed with ingredients, so it felt worth it. The portions were generous too -- I ordered thinking it would be enough for two people, but honestly it could've fed three. The flavors were very clean and well-balanced overall. They also gave me some fish cake soup on the side when I asked, which was a nice touch. The only downside was the wait. It felt like it took about 20 minutes, probably because they were backed up with orders. That said, it seemed like a small, family-run place with just a couple people working, so it wasn't a huge deal. Overall, a really solid experience.

    Ordered on the July 4 holiday for a get to geth and in typical Asian fashion they were open! Yay! I got the house special with bulgogi and shrimp, BIBIM, spicy pork, and tonkatsu rolls. Each one is 10 pieces. They were large pieces, rice is perfectly done and not too thick. I also ordered a few yubus and they were delicious! There's a lot of seats but not really great for a big group unless you wanna sit next to each other down the bar The waitress cashier was very nice and helpful and everything looked very clean! I would definitely recommend this place for Kimbap if you are looking to take it to a party or potluck, it's a great idea and well received by everyone.

    Amazing kimbap. You would think if you had one kimbap, you've had them all, but Gangnam just hits. We bought 3 today, Spicy Ssam, Tuna & Eel, all were delicious, but the Spicy Ssam was just a nice surprise for an uncommon flavor. They have other menu items including rameyon, tteobokki, dumpings, etc. Seating is limited, would not recommend for large groups (just order to go). Parking is limited. Service is quick and friendly. Can't wait to come again!

    Parking lot can feel tight sometimes . "Kimbap (or gimbap) is a popular Korean dish of cooked rice, vegetables, meat, or fish rolled in dried seaweed (gim) and sliced into bite-sized pieces, often served as a picnic food or snack, distinct from sushi by its sesame oil-seasoned rice and typically cooked fillings. Its name means "seaweed rice," and fillings commonly include carrots, spinach, pickled radish (danmuji), egg, fish cake, beef, or tuna, making it a versatile, hearty, and savory meal" The menu has a big variety, look for their lunch specials. I'm excited to come back to try other items. Customer service was friendly. Quaint place, a handful of seats, many people order togo. They also offer kimbap for catering, perfect for family parties :)

    Burdock Kimbob!
    Eunhae H.

    One of my favorite snacks/quick bite to eat for lunch is kimbap. When I saw that there was a new kimbap place in Cerritos, I had to go and try it! I ordered via DoorDash the Burdok, Spam, Bulgogi, and House Special kimbap (bulgogi, shrimp tempura with veggies), and Spicy Rice Cake (ddukbokki). My favorite kimbap was the House Special. The others were good but not as memorable. Next time I want to try the Jalapeño (deep fried jalapeño with veggies), Jay Special (unagi, cream cheese, crabmeat - all deep fried), and Carbo Buldak-Bokkeum (carbonara + buldak ramen noodles).

    MJ H.

    A small, family-run hidden gem with the nicest owners serving up seriously loaded kimbap! Everything is made fresh to order, with over 20 varieties such as bulgogi, unagi, tempura, tonkatsu, ssam, and plenty of vegetarian options. Their kimbap stands out with generous fillings-more ingredients than rice in every bite. And don't skip the rest of the menu. The spicy rice cakes, chicken skewers, sodduk, and yubu were all packed with flavor. We're already planning our next visit!

    Fish cake kimbap.
    Jeff Y.

    We have been watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix, and decided to come get some kimbap. Gangnam Kimbob is located in a small strip mall with some parking spots. There are a few seats for dining in but a lot of people get takeout or food delivery. There are many kimbap options as well as some non-kimbap dishes. Each roll is generous in portion and size, ranging from $8-12. I also added a small udon soup, which FYI has no actual udon noodle (it's just the broth). We ordered fish cake, eel, and spicy ssam kimbap. There is also a dispenser with cold/hot water and some tea bags near the door. Overall recommend for a casual meal of kimbap!

    Leeza D.

    We grabbed a variety of Kimbob for our holiday celebration. It included the house special bulgogi and shrimp tempura, eel tempura, fish cake, tuna, spicy Kim chi,and katsu. It was a nice variety and a great spread. There was a lot of filling and the rice layer is thin, which I like. Please come and create your own adventure.

The portion was comical, filling up maybe 1/3 of the giant white bowl. There were hardly any toppings on there. The cheese was literally a strip. I know this place isn't Yupddeok but they do a whole swirl on the bowl there. Yikes. And the chicken was... mediocre at best. Very anorexic chicken. And they wanted to charge an extra $2 for sauce. Yeah, we left hungry and unhappy. My sister talked about getting McDonald's on the way home. My husband said we should've gone to Chili's. Next time, we'll make the drive to Yukddeok for tteokbokki. Service was good though, our server was very sweet. I wish I got his name but he was working the evening shift and had black hair and a black t-shirt with Gengar on it.

    I love what the new ownership has done with this familiar Korean eatery. It has been transformed…read moreinto one of the area's premier destinations for authentic Korean comfort food, embracing the traditions of slow-cooked, homestyle recipes passed down through generations. Every dish reflects a dedication to Korean culinary heritage, arriving at the table bubbling, sizzling, and steaming with irresistible aromas. Step inside and you are welcomed by the comforting scent of toasted sesame, simmering garlic, and richly fermented broths that instantly make you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and unpretentious, capturing the feeling of gathering around a family dinner table. The menu celebrates soulful Korean classics with bold fermented flavors, slow-simmered stews, casseroles, salad wrap combinations, noodle dishes, and grilled fish, alongside shareable favorites like Korean chive pancakes, seafood pancakes, and abalone porridge. Every meal begins with one of the best complimentary spreads of banchan in town. The assortment is vibrant, tangy, spicy, and refreshingly diverse, featuring dishes that are increasingly difficult to find at many Korean restaurants. Our table included a variety of namul (seasoned vegetables), steamed eggplant, creamy Korean potato salad, japchae, and wonderfully fresh kimchi. Each side dish provided its own balance of flavor and texture while perfectly complementing both steamed rice and the main courses. **Dwaeji Bossam (Steamed Pork with Napa Cabbage) + Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew) Combo, plus banchan - $45.99** The bossam showcases beautifully prepared pork belly that is incredibly moist, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth rich without any unwanted pork odor. Thin slices of pork are elegantly arranged like ribbons and served alongside an impressive assortment of accompaniments: spicy julienned radish kimchi (musaengchae), sliced raw garlic, fresh jalapeños, ssamjang (sweet and savory fermented soybean chili paste), saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp), carrot and cucumber sticks, crisp green leaf lettuce, and blanched napa cabbage for wrapping. Every condiment serves a purpose. The crunchy radish kimchi cuts through the richness of the pork with bright acidity and spice. The saeujeot delivers an intensely savory burst of umami, while the ssamjang contributes a balanced combination of sweetness, heat, and fermented depth. Wrapped together inside fresh lettuce or tender napa cabbage, every bite becomes an explosion of contrasting textures and harmonious flavors. The accompanying doenjang jjigae is equally satisfying. The fermented soybean paste creates a deep, aged savoriness that is rich yet mellow, supported by anchovy stock, garlic, and just enough heat from sliced jalapeños. A slightly thickened broth envelopes silky tofu, tender zucchini, onions, and potatoes, creating one of Korean cuisine's most comforting stews. **Eun Daegu Jorim (Braised Black Cod) - $48.99** The braised black cod is another standout. Buttery, flaky pieces of fish are gently simmered in a glossy reduction that perfectly balances savory, sweet, spicy, and umami flavors. Thick chunks of radish slowly absorb the rich braising liquid until they become almost as satisfying as the fish itself. Just before serving, the dish is finished with freshly diced green onions that contribute brightness and a subtle bite to this deeply comforting classic. Service deserves special recognition. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. My family felt immediately at ease from the moment we walked through the door. The servers anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, quietly refilling water glasses and clearing finished plates with thoughtful timing. What impressed me most was the kindness they showed my mother, treating her with genuine warmth, sincere compliments, and the type of hospitality that made us feel less like customers and more like welcomed guests in someone's home. This restaurant beautifully showcases everything that makes Korean comfort food so beloved: slow-cooked recipes made entirely from scratch, deeply flavorful stews, generous portions, exceptional banchan, and heartfelt hospitality. Between the authentic homestyle cooking, robust flavors, and caring service, it has quickly become one of the finest places in the area to experience the warmth and comfort of traditional Korean cuisine.

This location has served cold noodle soup (mulnaengmyun) all the years we have come. The most recent owner is also female, and her kitchen and front end staff are all female. By far, this serves the best cold noodle soup and thin chewy buckwheat noodles. The hot summer days certainly bring in a crowd! The side dishes or banchan change frequently, my favorites are the tomato and apple, onion and parsley plus the house made kimchi. Occasionally they have the white or non spicy kimchi which is so delicious and refreshing. We often get the combo cold noodle with beef bulgogi (thin sliced marinated beef) or kalbi (LA style short rib sliced across and marinated then grilled). Love the bossam plate :boiled pork belly served with vegetables for wrapping. Also good is the marinated chicken & veggie wraps combo. The gamjeatang or pork spare rib spicy stew if full of tender pork and stewed vegetables, that I feel is a healthy alternative to the grilled meats. The boochoo neon (I hope I spelled that correctly) or chive pancake is done so well here: tender and crispy on the edges. Great for sharing as an appetizer. They also have a barley dish that is mostly vegetarian with spicy sauce. Very glad they are open daily and until 9 pm (last call is about 830). Many families and golf buddies or business partners frequent the place. Quiet, thankfully has A/C cranked to cold most year round, so you can enjoy your meal in comfort. The manager (Joy) and servers are unfailingly quiet and priced excellent service.

    Tried the #1 hot pot franchise in Korea. So happy they have a location in Cerritos because…read moreeverything we ordered was SO good ! The kimchi gamjatang was our favorite! The broth was rich, savory, and slightly spicy with that tangy kimchi flavor. The pork bone meat was sooo tender and literally fell apart! The dipping sauce made it even better too. It had a little mustardy kick that went perfectly with the pork. We also added the cheese fried rice and definitely recommend it! Crispy on the bottom, cheesy, and so flavorful from the leftover broth. The bossam was also really good! Loved the pork wrapped in napa cabbage which adds a fresh, crunchy texture to every bite. And of course, we had to get the kimbap! So delicious and the perfect bite to go with everything else. Definitely coming back when I'm craving Korean comfort food! What we ordered: -Kimchi Gamjatang (M, 2 servings) -Cheese Fried Rice (add on) -Bossam (S) -Kimbap -Sapporo

    I came here with a friend and we got their Pork Cutlet (Handmade Pork Cutlet) and Naeng Myun (Cold…read moreBuckwheat Noodles). The pork cutlet was large in portion but quality-wise, it wasn't as good. I really enjoyed their Naeng Myun though; it was very refreshing and the sweet radish that came with it was a great touch altogether. All the side dishes that came with were great although I only tasted a few of them. Everything tasted fresh and the food really felt authentic for me as a Korean. Their service was welcoming and laidback. After they brought out our food, they didn't really come to serve us unless we needed something. Water is provided at each table so it's more of a self-serve unless you order a drink. Ambiance was awesome; it gave off a family friendly atmosphere. There was a lot of space inside and very comforting overall. I'd definitely come back. (Sorry folks, I forgot to take a picture of the cold noodles!)

    Finally tried Cho Dang and honestly, this place surprised me in a good way. The food tasted really…read morehomey and flavorful, especially the BBQ. The meat was nicely cooked, and I kept going back for "just one more bite" The banchan were solid too, and everything felt fresh. It's definitely more of a casual, old-school Korean spot than a fancy restaurant, which I actually liked. Good food, relaxed atmosphere, and a place I'd happily come back to when I'm craving Korean food

    This place feels like it's been here a while and the reviews back it up. Dinner was on a Wednesday…read morenight and walking up to it, I was surprised it right next to a restaurant I hear of all the time but never tried. They had a line and I was tempted to go but I wanted traditional Korean food instead of pocha style food. It was kind of quiet around 5:30 but by the time I left most tables were filled up--some people eating solo. My honest take of the food is it's like someone's grandparents made it. I'm not Korean so I appreciate the food. It tasted decent but not made with love and that's the difference. You can kind of tell the workers felt rushed or a bit overwhelmed when people started rolling in. Not the friendliest which doesn't matter too much to me, but it's reflected in the food. Tofu soup with the bone in meat was okay. Meat was good (+$4) but the soup was not boiling hot like I saw other soups come out so overall I'd say it's okay. It had a hard time boiling my egg when I dropped it in. The combo I got came with galbi which was decent. Seafood pancake was decent, could have been crispier. The fish I got on the menu right under mackerel, forgot the name but I wouldn't order it again. Felt kind of dry to me. While I don't regret going I left feeling like I won't be back again.
