    Had a great experience at Gob Chang! The food came out fresh and flavorful, and everything was cooked nicely. I really enjoyed the side dishes, especially the steamed egg and soup. The gobchang was tasty, chewy in a good way, and went well with the dipping sauces and vegetables. The portion was good for sharing, and the meal felt very satisfying.

    Are you into exotic foods that might require you to acquire the taste of something? Well, if you like crispy intestines cooked on a cast iron grill, Gob Chang is worth the try. We had a restaurant that we liked to frequent at closer to home, but they have recently closed down, so I've been in search of other places. The service was good, but language was a little bit of a barrier. We asked for the bean spouts to be separated and at first I didn't think he understood, but at the end all the vegetables were separated which was better than including the bean spouts. The intestines was good, but I would have preferred them to be crispier, but he put out the flames early. We ordered an a La carte order of the pork belly, which was very good. I loved the thickness of the cuts. Definitely worth a return trip.

    I'd been craving intestines, so I did a quick Yelp search and found this spot. It reminded me of a traditional Korean sidewalk pub: small, cozy, with about 6 to 7 tables. We ordered the Medium 3 Combo meal, which included small intestine, large intestine, and tripe, and it came with steamed egg and either soup/kimchi on the side. Ordered rice to go with it which was perfect but I do wish they had hot barley tea. The gentleman came out and torched the meat for a few mins, then left them to continue grilling on the cast iron plate with gel fuel. Everything was delicious! The meal came to about $100 with tip, but I'd say it was well worth it and will for sure come back here!

    Choose 3 Combination - delicious

    If you're a fan of daechang and gopchang then this place is definitely the rice place for you. They have a 3 combo meal that comes with a combo of small intestine, large intestine or tripe and all three are absolutely amazing. They also have steamed egg and a choice of either kimchi soup or soybean soup. The service was amazing as well. The owner was extremely kind and made sure that we were always taken care of and you can just tell that he has a passion for making the best Korean food in the area. The restaurant is nice and it's just a has a traditional Korean vibe to it. 10 out of 10 would recommend this place!

    Gob Chang is a hidden Korean restaurant gem in a small Buena Park plaza. With spacious parking (though it can get crowded, street parking might be necessary), this cozy pocha-style spot serves quality meat with fast service. The owner takes pride in their meat quality, delivering an authentic dining experience. This place is my #1 Gop Chang place!!! Great for Gop Chang lovers, though it closes early for soju drinkers :(

    Came here to celebrate my sister early birthday. Ordered a few things from the menu. Ordered a small intestine combo as well as the pork belly. The combo came with the soup as well as the egg. The egg was so good with the cheese on top. 10/10 The kimchi soup wasn't really our favorite, and it's kinda spicy. 4/10 The small intestine was really fire. Goes really well with their sauce. 10/10 We also ordered the pork belly ( no pic). Was pretty tasty and with some bomb kimchi with it. 10/10 The waiters who were working were very nice and joke around with us. Overall would recommend this place if you are looking for a place for some intestine. It is a little bit on the pricey side.

    Love coming here for their big intestines. Their medium is a good 2-3 people servings and there's alot of fresh Banchan. Service is always great. The owner is always attentive. I haven't been here in a year and Def hit the spot. The intestine always clean throughly which make it easier to enjoy. See you guys again soon :)

    Walked in on a Saturday night - it wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. We ordered the Choose 3 Combination (M), Kimchi Cold Noodle, and Beef Tartare. Service was fast and the staff were great! The Kimchi Cold Noodle was super refreshing and cuts the fattiness of the intestine. The beef tartare was also very fresh and a generous portion. There were only 2 of us so we had a lot of leftovers to take home haha. A solid gobchang spot!

The restaurant is pretty huge but it gets super loud! The screens are always playing kpop groups with music playing and its always fun to watch. For food, I've tried a lot of their menu and everything is so good and shareable. The korean fried chicken is crispy, not dry, and seasoned so well! A favorite amongst the group was the beef intestine, which I've never had before and was pretty impressed by. It was super juicy and paired well with the scallions and sauce. Another favorite of the group was the corn cheese. It was like a pizza but corn cheese. My absolute tried and true is the pork belly. It is soo good, especially with the kimchi, peppers, and roasted garlic cloves. It definitely is my personal favorite on their menu! I can definitely see why this place is so popular!

And their hands go inside everything. They grab the rinsed pitcher, scoop the tea water and serve it. Also mind you, the tea water is inside those huge trash cans. AND when they were transferring the ice (from again those trash bins) they would lift it to pour all the ice in to the tea water bin and you can see all the dirty drippings from the outside wheels drip inside the container.. @.@ No its not a one time thing with one employee...they all knew the drill and did it like routine. Me and my friends watched the whole thing while we were just trying to enjoy some drinks at the bar. It was so disgusting, my friends wanted to pay and leave quickly but NO theres no way im paying for the drink i only had a couple sips of and couldn't finish. So i told the manager, didnt pay and left. He was not shocked ... wonder why. And now im just telling all my close friends not to go here... digusting.

    This is hands down my favorite Korean restaurant. The quality of the food and the portion sizes are…read moreboth 10/10. The kimchi, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and gat kimchi are absolutely delicious. I heard that the owner makes everything in-house, and you can really tell how much care and skill go into the food. The staff are also incredibly kind and welcoming every time I visit. Galbitang (Beef Short Rib Soup) - This is honestly the best galbitang I've had in both OC and LA. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the beef is always fresh and tender. Whenever I'm craving galbitang in the OC/LA area, this is the only place I go. Yukgaejang (Spicy Beef Soup) - The amount of ingredients they give you is amazing. I've had it both dining in and as takeout, and it's consistently delicious every single time. It's perfectly seasoned, and has just the right level of spice. As much as I love the galbitang, I think I actually enjoy the yukgaejang even more. Pork Cutlet (Donkatsu) - This place is known for its galbitang and seolleongtang, so I wasn't expecting much from the donkatsu... but why is it this good? The cabbage salad dressing that comes on the side is seriously addictive. The portion size is huge, there's no way I could finish it by myself. It has the crispy texture of Japanese katsu, while still having a great pork flavor of its own. I honestly think this could be considered one of their signature dishes. If you're looking for authentic Korean comfort food with generous portions and warm service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely keep coming back!

The interior is clean, newly built, and has a modern Korean hanok-style look. The servers were also friendly both times, so I didn't have any issues with the service or atmosphere. Unfortunately, the main problem for me was the food. I've eaten at the LA location before and never really thought the food tasted bad there, but at this Buena Park location, both visits gave me the impression that the food didn't taste as fresh as it should. On my most recent visit, I ordered the soondae gukbap, and the soondae had an unpleasant off smell and didn't taste very fresh. It almost tasted like it had been sitting for a while. On my first visit, I tried the regular pork gukbap, and the pork flavor was also stronger than I personally prefer. I do tend to like cleaner-tasting gukbap, but this stood out to me because I don't remember having the same issue at the LA location. After the first visit, I thought maybe it was just an off day since the restaurant was still new. But after having a similar impression on my second visit, I'm not sure if this location is consistent yet. The space is nice and the service was good, but for a gukbap restaurant, the food has to be the main reason to come back. Based on my two visits, this location was disappointing for me.

But since I moved out of LA, it's so inconvenient to get to. Enter Kyung Bok Kung -- what a find. I can get a fine dining korean bbq experience conveniently. I've been here a number of times, and this review reflects the few times I've been there. It's become the goto spot to take people from out of town who are visiting and want a Kbbq experience. Things I immediately noticed - lots of white and grey teslas in the parking lot during lunch - you know what that means? Golf Koreans. Yup. Go inside and you'll see incredibly well dressed older retired people with their buddies chatting up in private cubicles. Beautiful decor. It's like the background setting of a korean drama where there's a close-up of the guy and the girl - they're about to say something really serious to each other. The camera does a wide angle shot of them - and this is the restaurant it's shot in. Price points - this place isn't cheap, but they have incredibly good deals on a weekday lunch (cold noodles and meat set). Their dinner set course meals are priced around what you would expect from a quality steak house. This place is not as pricey as AB steak or Cote, but you're getting just as quality. Food - I've had the lunch set meals, the bbq grilled course, and ordered à la carte. One thing is for sure - they don't miss. I never had a 9 budda plate until I came here, but apparently it's like a thing that royals ate during the monarchy days. It was like a korean vegetarian taco. Very intricate (and slightly annoying) to put together but delicious - and a great test of your chopstick skills. Their braised beef (galbijjim) from their lunch set intersects savory, sweet, and tenderness in a way that only Korean grandmas do. I'm not a huge fan of Wagyu beef (just too rich and can never feel after eating it), but I have never felt that way coming out of here. Go here at night if you want to impress someone or celebrate something. Go here during lunch if you want a fantastic meal and want to see what the best korean food can taste like but don't want to break the bank.

I have been hooked to King Chang's intestines combo ever since!! My go-to order at King aching is there intestines combo that comes with large intestines, small intestines, and abomasum. If our party is 2 people, the medium combo ($82) is sooooo much food since they give you so much side dishes!! I love that they give you a choice of instant noodles or kalguksu for free with the combo!! I love that their intestines come already cooked, so you don't have to wait for them. It's not fatty at all, since all the fat has been cooked down. Normally not a fan of small intestines since they can be grainy, but they taste really good at King Chang. The abomasum can get a little chewy if you leave them on the stone plate for too long, so make sure to eat them first or take them off the heat later on.

While some may not enjoy the idea of eating the lower digestive tract of a cow's guts, gopchang is a Korean staple BBQ dish that is beloved and enjoyed by Koreans all over the world. We ordered the large intestine combo which includes the small intestines (gopchang 곱창), large intestines (daechang 대창) (my personal favorite), small cylindrical rice cakes (tteok), cabbage kimchi, and grilled onions. It is served on a large, heated, tilted cast-iron grill which allows it to simmer and the juices to flow downward where the onions, kimchi and tteok absorb the flavors. While the gopchang is ready to eat once it's served, letting it cook a little longer allows the edges and fat to go from soft and chewy to a crispy texture with enhanced flavor. As an Angeleno born and raised, I grew up eating grilled intestines whether it's in Korean dishes or in my tacos (tacos de tripas). It's nice to find places in Orange County that serve gopchang as well and with Koreans being more prevalent in Buena Park, it's not hard to find a Korean gopchang establishment. "Chang" (-창) translates to "intestines" and King Chang has proven they really are the "King of intestines." Long live the King.
