Best Korean food in town. Owner is nice too. Cold noodle is best in town. Enjoy it ~~ read more

Really great Korean comfort food spot. The beef bone soup was rich and comforting without being too heavy, and the cold noodles were super refreshing--perfect balance of chewy and light. The pork belly wraps and grilled beef ribs were also really flavorful, especially with the side dishes that came out fresh and well seasoned. Portions are generous, service is quick, and everything feels very homey and satisfying. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving something warm and hearty. read more

I was extremely busy today, so I ordered through DoorDash. I was really looking forward to the Seolleongtang. Most of the food was good, but the bossam had a very strong pork smell. It was so unpleasant that it honestly made me feel sick. When I dine in, the service is always excellent. The staff are friendly, and the owner is always kind and welcoming. That's why this experience was so disappointing. I hope this was just a one-time issue. If the food quality improves, I'll gladly update my review. read more

Been coming back for more. High addicted to the yuchae namul here. I have to get the galbi every time or I will regret it as well Came w a friend and we tried the blood sausage and trotters- recommended by the super nice waitress and it's super good! Friend's baby niece even vouched for it. The trotters are so good w steaming hot fresh white rice. We also ordered the ox tail soup and their broth is honestly just amazing and clean tasting. All that collagen....I'm thankful I have a foodie friend to come try new dishes here with, next we will get the duck stew. read more

I seriously love eating here. Met up with my muslim friend for dinner with her 2 kids and mom. She was scared the menu was all pork. But we got galbi, seafood pancake and spicy stir fry of squid! The galbi meat quality is really good. It's the high quality kind where the meat sticks to the bone, it is not detached. Wonderfully marinated, there is joy in every bite! The spicy squid was so flavorful, seriously addicting. Their banchans were amazing (as usual). They are so kind about the refills. We loved it all. The kimchi is homemade, you can taste it! I also got a sullung tang (beef bone broth soup). I didn't get to eat much at the table, so I packed it to go. Their both broths are so legit. When I refrigerated it, it was packed with collagen, all turned jello like! Other restaurants cut corners using milk or creamer to make it milky, but this place does it right! I seriously respect all the hard work that goes into make such delish food and banchan. LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

This was my first time visiting after a golf club gathering. Unfortunately, my overall impression wasn't very positive. After we ordered our food, it took quite a long time to come out, and the taste was pretty average and predictable. The staff seemed to be moving quickly, but it wasn't particularly busy at the time, so the slow service was a bit surprising. I also tried the seolleongtang hoping it would be good, but it didn't really stand out. Overall, it was a bit disappointing compared to what I expected. read more

Blood sausage soup is amazing here. This is such a hidden gem. They use apple juice instead of extra sugar for their side dishes. It's one of the most authentic Korean soup you can buy in town. read more

Gung Jung Restaurant - Side dishes - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

The most delicious dinner ! Atmosphere is cozy yet spacious, lots of space to chatter with your friends on a busy Monday evening. Service was so quick and incredibly warm. We ordered the Combo (really great deal) with Tofu Stew and Bulgogi. Omg that bulgogi was to die for. Legit most delicious I've ever had. Tofu stew was also epicness--it was my first time having it and it will most definitely not be the last. We also order spicy cold noodles to share. It never gets old, sooo yum. I was practically making plans to come back as I was grubbing, def recommend! read more

The Ox Bone Soup here is super satisfying! I had the mixed soup that came with tender brisket and beef stomach. Their soup is amazingly rich and takes on a creamy consistency. It's an amazing and comforting experience dipping rice into the hot broth. Each bite was better than the last! The restaurant was a bit empty on a Wednesday night, so there was plenty of seating. Staff is super welcoming and even refilled our side dishes consisting of peppers, radish, and cabbage. All complemented the dish well and adds a different dimension to the meal if you are looking for something more sour or spicy! If you're ever in the neighborhood and in need of breakfast, they also have a selection of 3 soups for a discounted price for the early birds! read more

I'm not as familiar with Korean food, so this was a nice experience. Restaurant itself gives a feel of authentic Korean food. Many pictures of dishes in the wall and the servers here, though somewhat limited in English, are very friendly and polite. I got the morning soup which was hot and satisfying. The broth was flavorful and it's probably a good dish to start the day or after a long night of partying. lol Note that the parking lot isn't very big out front, but there is additional parking on the side of the building. read more

Good food at Gungjung! We got the soullangtang and it was very good! My only complaints about the establishment would be the price for what you get. It's good food and great atmosphere, its just a little pricey for what you get. The service is good and friendly, and the atmosphere is like you are walking into a restaraunt in Seoul. The Banchan was also really good, with some picks you don't normally see. They also served barley tea, which is a huge plus! read more

I went to this place specifically for their Sul Leong Tang soup. They have a morning special for this particular soup for $12.99 from 8am-11am. I seeked out a new place because the other places that I've been going to for this soup has been skimping out on the side dishes. The soup was pretty good. It had quite a bit of ox flavor to it without having to add any additional salt. The service was good. If I needed something, it was a simple holler to the waitress. Although this place is a bit small, it is how I like it as it isn't pretentious. read more

Ordered Seolleongtang on UberEats which they were doing 20% off which is a great deal for Sul Lung Tung in the area. I was feeling under the weather and this was a very comforting meal and easy on the stomach. I wished there was more brisket in the soup but, it came with radish and kimchi, side of noodles, and rice. The meal was ready within 5 minutes! The place is a small plaza with surround businesses that there's not too much parking available. read more

One of the worst Korean food deliveries I've had. The noodles were strangely sweet, and the bulgogi combo was misleading--the beef was boiled, bland, and nothing like real bulgogi. Total waste of money. read more

Everything was super delicious, we have the Beef Suyuk hot pot, the meat was melt in your mouth, the Tendons, beef tounge and other organ meat are so tender. Their dipping sauce was amazing. The broth was really silky, taste amazing. They even refilled our broth for free because we love it so much. The Banchan was really good as well, you know a good restaurant from their banchan. Seafood pancake was also so good, too bad we were so full from the hot pot so we have to pack it for to go. We will come back for sure!!! read more

I always do take-out for their soups. Very hearty, I always have a 2nd serving from 1 bowl !

Stopped by for a late lunch and ordered the ox bone soup. It came out piping hot, milky and rich, exactly what I was hoping for. The broth had a deep, comforting flavor without being too salty, and the beef was tender with just the right amount of fat. The bowl was generous, and the included rice and banchan made it a full, satisfying meal. The service was warm and attentive. Our server was polite, checked in multiple times without hovering, and was quick to offer more kimchi and radish when we were running low. It felt like they genuinely cared that we were enjoying our meal. The restaurant has a relaxed, clean atmosphere. It's not overly loud or crowded, with soft Korean music playing in the background and a calm feel overall. Great spot to settle in for something hearty and traditional. I'll definitely be back when I need a solid bowl of sulrungtang. read more

The food was delicious, ambiance is very traditional for Korean food (which I enjoy). Banchan is so delicious, I got the Ox Bone Soup and Duck Bone Soup, both stunning! Service is amazing from everyone. Sam really made our experience fantastic, he's a very kind and engaging person! So professional and fun to talk to. I look forward to come here more often for his amazing service and the delicious Korean food! read more

Great spot for Korean Comfort food. They have all my favorites, especially the HaeJang Guk also known as Morning Soup.

My family of 4 went at lunchtime and ordered the Korean seafood pancake, Grilled angus short ribs bbq, and Kong guksu. The seafood pancake was chock full of filling of veggies and delicious octopus. The short ribs were tender and wonderfully seasoned. The Kong guksu was chewy and delicious. The waitresses were friendly and service was quick. The banchans were delicious as well. All in all, will go back again. Price was medium range for Korean food. The store was relatively clean and well lit. read more

Gung Jung Restaurant - Best Korean Local Restaurant!!!!! - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

This place is a solid korean comfort food in Rowland Heights. We used to come here after golfing with company people and just to eat Sul lung tang for breakfast when in the area. Most of the food is pretty good but some items I'd stay away from. Just stick to the soups and you'll be good. read more

I went to Gungjung Seolleongtang today because Sunnongdan was closed. I decided to order oxtail soup to-go. Unfortunately, it was not the best oxtail soup I've had. The meat was quite stuck to the bones and difficult to separate, and the texture was tough and chewy, making it challenging to eat. It seemed as though low-quality oxtails were added to the seolleongtang broth. Additionally, the kimchi did not meet my expectations either. Since it was my first time trying this place, I had hoped for a better experience, but it didn't quite live up to what I was looking for. read more

Great service, amazing Galbi and seollongtang (ox bone broth beef soup) and good service! We just left this cute family run restaurant. It was a Saturday evening and the restaurant was not too busy so we got seated promptly by the sweet older lady that was working there. The Galbi is thick cut with an amazing flavor and comes with short grain Korean rice and delicious banchan dishes. The beef noodle soup comes with noodles and sliced green onions and salt which you add yourself. The lady serving us was cute and instructed us how to season the soup, and so we followed her instructions and it was pretty good. We would definitely recommend this restaurant for the food. The ambiance is kinda older and not updated, but it doesn't affect the flavor of the food at all. Bathrooms were clean in the back too. I highly recommend! read more

The low star reviews are dead on. The place smells like an old basement. Some of the dishes were a bit funky. The service is absent minded. But this place opens early. You don't have to cut fancy. And their menu is pretty large with cool selections. Come in the morning if you want better service. The food is nice. read more

The food was okay, ordered the short rib soup. Got a good portion of the short rib but barely any meat. The soup was flavorful and good. The kimchi side dish was sad, kinda old. read more

Authentic Korean food joint. Typical cold dishes before your main order arrive. The spinach was delicious. I ordered the Sulrungtang cuz well... it's in their name? It contains beef and small amount of noodle. It does also come with rice. The Sulrungtang comes with a pack of salt and hot sauce. You'd want to add them because the soup itself taste like water. I added the whole thing and it still didn't have enough taste. Should've ordered tofu soup like my friend did lol. read more

Omg everything was so good! Ox bone soup was amazing. I'll definitely will be coming back again when I am in town

I think this place is extremely discriminatory and I would not recommend it. I came here and was told the kitchen was closed although I watched the lady serve 2 tables, 4 people, keep their doors open and continue to operate to those persons who were Korean. Although I am not Korean I am definitely a part of the local community and am Asian Pacific Islander. I think any type of blatant discrimination is awful! I guess I was saved though because they have 6 VIOLATIONS from the food department! I would suggest trying somewhere else. ! read more

I've been coming here since 2015, and it was good then, but under the recent new ownership omg it's next level. This is hands down one of the most slept on Korean restaurants in the area that surpasses much of what you can find in KTown. The ox bone soup is gloriously rich, and you can't forget about the short rib soup either where meat just falls right off the bone. Their bosam is a must order as well, and it comes with their special house kimchi that'll knock your socks off. Hell, even their cold noodles are a 10/10. Service has improved dramatically as of late. Servers are very friendly and attentive, and they'll refill banchan (your side dishes) as you finish them or upon request. You'll mostly see boomers and 40+ here, but that's because they know traditional gems when they see one. Younger generations are totally missing out on an incredible experience. I wish these guys the very best and I'm thankful for their being here. read more

Gungjung Sulrungtang is a little hidden gem at the edge of Rowland Heights where I've eaten one of the best Galbitang I've ever had before. They're located in the same plaza as Boba Time (now Cafe BT I think?) and have plenty of parking. The bf and I ordered the Morning Soup as well as Galbitang and started our meal off with their banchan. This time they gave us radish kimchi, cabbage kimchi, some sort of greens, and boiled cabbage with their house soybean paste. I believe that refills for banchan are free, so if there's anything you want more of you should definitely asked for more! They occasionally switch up the side dishes so you're in for a mini surprise every time you visit. The Galbitang was beautifully seasoned and tasted like home cooking, which made it perfect for a cold day. They serve it with a little container of sauce with horseradish (I think) to dip the horseradish in. Apparently their kitchen closes at 8:00pm so if you're looking to dine in, I recommend coming in before 7:30pm! Their service is fine, nothing to write home to your mama about, which I think is totally normal for authentic spots with good food lol. read more
