I love this place. Every time I crave tteokbokki and Korean fried chicken, this is my go‑to spot. I…read morelove that they offer different spice levels for both the chicken and the tteokbokki, and they also have a great selection of Korean street food. The food usually takes about 15 minutes to come out, but it's worth it because everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and comes out hot. The chicken is juicy, well‑seasoned, and honestly pretty addicting. For the tteokbokki, you can add noodles and customize it however you like. The place is clean and has plenty of tables. They even have TVs, I've watched baseball games and the Winter Olympics here. The customer service is great, I've been here multiple times, and everyone I've interacted with has been super nice and polite. There's a parking structure nearby, but you do have to pay, so make sure to bring cash for parking.

The next day, I boiled some spaghetti and broccoli and added it to my leftovers for another hearty meal. Pretty worth it imo. Service was nice and friendly. It's located in a food court, so it is a casual setting. Will definitely be back.

Their loach soup (Chueotang), side dishes, and fried loach are all absolutely delicious. The fried loach is especially unique--crispy, flavorful, and something you can only experience at this restaurant. It's one of my favorite dishes here. The kimchi and tofu that come with the meal are also outstanding. The tofu is especially addictive because it's perfectly crispy on the outside and incredibly delicious. Even the seasoned bean sprouts are amazing. I love how all of the side dishes are always fresh, clean, beautifully prepared, and consistently delicious. I actually used to dislike Chueotang and could never eat it, but this restaurant completely changed my mind. Their Chueotang is so good that I started enjoying it after trying it here. Another reason I love this place is the excellent customer service. The staff are always incredibly thoughtful and attentive. Before you even have to ask, they come by to refill the side dishes, bring extra napkins, or check if you need more water. Their hospitality is truly exceptional. Yesterday, my mom, my brother, and I all ordered the Chueotang with abalone. During the hot summer, abalone is considered a nourishing food that helps restore your energy, and I honestly felt refreshed and energized after eating it. If you're looking for a healthy, nourishing meal or need an energy boost during the summer, I highly recommend the Abalone Chueotang at Gupojip. It's definitely worth trying!

I and my family are basically regular here. We go there for…read morelunch or dinner quite often a lot. They make an awesome, best fish bulgogi and the side dishes. We can tell that they put a lot of passion, love and effort into the dishes. The owners are always so friendly and nice and make us feels like we are eating the food at home, feels homey. Whenever I feel a bit under the weather or low energy I feel much better afterward. So, I can't say or exclaim enough of this place and they well deserved more business. If you would like to try Korean food other than K BBQ, this is the palace to go and must try whenever you can.

We ordered kimchi sujebi and kalguksu. Both hit the spot! I loved the chewiness of the sujebi noodles. The kalguksu broth was light but savory and the noodles were cooked well. I wasn't a fan of the side of kimchi since it's on the more sour side. I liked the white kimchi though. Both soups came out to be about $36 which is pretty good for a very filling meal!

The seafood soup had a delicious aroma from the variety of different seafood. The only reason I took 1 star away is because the crab they used was mainly for flavoring the soup. There was practically no meat inside the crab legs, or it's at least not worth the extra effort taking them apart. This isn't surprising, given this was only $16.99. The mussel shells were also chipped, which means they were brittle, and therefore had to be fished out of the soup.

Our orders: Seafood jjamppong ($19.97): my favorite and generous amount of seafood White jjamppong ($19.97): never seen this in a Korean Chinese restaurant and surprisingly good Black bean noodles ($15.97)

On January 20th, this Tuesday I had lunch with My Mom, and she ordered abalone porridge at Bonjuk…read more I was honestly shocked because the abalone porridge cost $27. It was surprisingly expensive. Some customers who were about to order in front of us saw the price and decided not to order--they just left and went somewhere else. When I ordered the abalone porridge, I asked why it was $27 when the menu board showed $22. The lady who took the order sighed deeply and said that everything has become so expensive these days. She also mentioned that they need to update the menu prices, but they don't have the money or time to change the menu board. Even though the porridge was very expensive, we still ordered it, and my mom enjoyed it very much. This porridge restaurant is a place I've loved for a very long time, even since it was located at a different location. It is still delicious.

There is a lot of parking in the structure and a lot of seating in the food court. We got two pasta dishes. First up was the bulgolgi tomato pasta. It comes with a side of pickles that helped to break up the fat of the bulgolgi and overall richness of the dish. The pasta is cooked perfectly. The bulgolgi is slightly sweet and blends so well with the tomato sauce. Second. We got the seafood rose pasta. The subtle brininess of the seafood with the rose sauce blends incredibly well together. Once again the pasta is perfect. You also get a side of pickles. To drink we got the mandarin slushy and a korean peak slushy. Both were we sweet and refreshing and work well with the pasta. A solid and filling meal in a food court. If you have no time or a long time to sit and eat then this will be the place for you.

The menu is…read morequite modern, which slightly deviated from the traditional and classic Korean food stands that are found in this OG food court. I ordered their Jangjorim rice bowl. My order was ready within 10 minutes and I appreciated their swiftness and somewhat of the presentation. The rice bowl was placed on golden metal bowl, which felt truly authentic. I am also fond of the egg yolk placed in the center. Upon mixing it, I truly wished they could add a little bit more beef. The ratio between the rice and beef was not balanced. I felt like I was eating more carbs than protein. I would've enjoyed it more and appreciated my $11 if they add more jangjorim on top of the rice.

When I learned that there's a location in K-Town, I couldn't have been more ecstatic. We ordered for to-go, but service is very efficient with their work and the ambiance inside is casual, inviting, and for the particular time I came, a little festive. Our order consisted of the keto kimbap, chicken galbi kimbap, and signature bareum kimbap. Unlike the previous times, we also got the rose tteokbokki. The three types of sauces you can have with the kimbap are Sriracha mayo, wasabi dip, and gochujang, but I'm sure people have tried it plain or with soy sauce, potsticker sauce, etc. Everything we had was incredibly flavorful and satisfying! The addition of shrimp tempura in the keto kimbap was a genius idea (though I don't know how "keto" it would be depending on how strict the person is) because it elevated the crunchiness and vibrancy of the roll! Not to mention, I wouldn't think chicken would taste amazing in kimbap, but it does. Granted, we likely would skip the signature kimbap since the "ham" meat inside isn't really our style--I'd opt for a beef or pork-based one instead!

I had the spicy beef soup and let me tell you. It was delicious! I love that it comes with sides as well including rice and it's all so filling. The portion sizes are enough to share so if you have a big appetite you are golden. The soup had a nice spice to it, the beef was flavorful and it also had glad noodles. I really enjoyed the soup and the sides. Service was great it is ran by older ladies and they are friendly. The ambience of it's the weekend is buzzing because so many come to eat but during the weekday it's nice and mellow. Love coming here to try all types of Asian food. If you are to full you can always walk the mall or Hmart to digest.

I would not call this place a good value for your money…read more It is probably around the same price range for sit down restaurants with service like BCD Tofu House. I've wanted to try samgyetang in Koreatown and thought this would be as authentic as it gets. There is another spot at a Korean food court in the Valley, but I wanted to try it in Koreatown first. As an indecisive person, I made several rounds trying to figure out which restaurant had the food I wanted to eat and decent amount of traffic eating their food. I decided on this place because of the samgyetang not knowing what to expect as I've never tried it before at a restaurant. I've purchased it in a ready made pack from a Korean grocery store and that's about it. The wait for this soup was around 40 minutes which I thought was excessive without warning you about the wait. There's a language barrier and the lady taking orders didn't seem to speak English fluently when I asked her about my order 30 minutes into my wait. Be warned that this is not a fast food restaurant despite the appearance of being located in a Korean food food court. For $25 including the tip they guilted me into giving for no service, I didn't feel it was worth money. This soup is a bland chicken soup. It's another Korean soup you would need to season yourself. It tasted very one dimensional. I felt I was better off making my own chicken soup at home for half the price. I barely tasted any hint or earthiness of ginseng or the sweetness of jujubes. Perhaps a Korean would be better able to detect the ginseng flavor. As I was eating it, I thought I would rather have Filipino arroz caldo, which is a similar style soup with more flavor. At least I could say that I've had it. Knowing that is normally a bland soup after researching online, I don't think I would order this soup again at that price unless someone were to recommend a spot known for it. If you search for reviews of this place, most people describe the service here as "rude." I didn't find the woman rude, but a bit cold in addition to a language barrier not being able to set expectations about the long wait. If I return to this Korean food court, it seems a lot of people like the tonkotsu place or maybe the dumpling spot recommended by Eater... Or maybe the Korean street food spot at the end near the restroom.
