    A Jjajangmyeon Jjamppong restaurant that sells Chinese food, not Korean Jjajangmyeon restaurant. The taste is different from Jjajangmyeon Jjamppong made by Koreans. Jjajangmyeon Jjamppong sweet and sour pork is a Korean-style Chinese food. The taste is completely different. Jjamppong had a seasoning taste that didn't taste hot or spicy, and the sweet and sour pork was also too sweet and had a strong greasy taste. I think I'll get 5 stars if I eat another Chinese menu here. The two stars I gave are only for Jjamppong and sweet and sour pork.

    Old school Korean-style Chinese food. No frills, no fancy decor - just good Chinese food at decent prices. It was pretty full on a Thursday evening, but there were still a table or two open. I went and ordered the seafood jjangppong (spicy noodle soup) and the tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). The broth in the noodle soup was nice and spicy, definitely hit the spot. The pork in the tangsuyuk is sliced thinner than other places, but it made for nice bite sized morsels. The sweet and sour sauce was thick and heavy, definitely old school style. The dishes must've been freshly washed, as they had a strong bleach odor to them. That did take away from the aroma of the food, so I wish the bleach smell wasn't so strong. Overall, I'd definitely come back here if I were craving OG Korean-style Chinese food. I'll have to try the jjajjangmyun (black bean noodles) next time.

    3 gems dish was ok
    Ronny T.

    I think this place does mostly take out for regulars because the food is pretty good but it's not a big or fancy place. Parking is also an issue because there's a AYCE Korean bbq in the same strip mall so you might have to park on the street or around the corner. Still, came for the black bean noodles which were good. Also tried the 3 gems dish which was ok but a bit pricey. Service was basic as the ladies were busy getting takeout orders ready.

    Restaurant is small but clean. Service was not very friendly but they got it done. Strip mall parking. The food was delicious. Not too salty and served hot and fresh. My beef was tender and the veggies were still crisp. We'll be back.

    Fried shrimp with spicy garlic sauce
    Lucy H.

    The atmosphere leaves much to be desired but the place is clean and they serve classic Korean-Chinese food. The fried shrimp with spicy garlic sauce is perfection but ask for sauce on the side because it gets soggy quick.

    Might be my new favorite jjajangmyeon spot. The sauce was perfectly flavorful. I wish the noodles were hotter because it was lukewarm, I'm guessing they premade some for the lunch rush. The tangsuyook was crunchy and delicious. I prefer the sauce on the side, but no complaints as it was so yummy. Will definitely bring everyone I know.

    OK food, friendly staff in a no frills setting, very NYC Chinatown vibe. Not sure I need to go back. Not sure what Eater Ordered, but was not thrilled with the black bean noodles. We must have ordered the wrong items if Eater claims it's an essential OC must try for Korean food.

    Great please for spicy Korean style soup! Delicious seafood broth and amazing Szechuan chicken! They also provide free hot tea, kimchi, and pickled radishes (I think). The service was excellent as well. Ambience leaves more to be desired but I wasn't expecting much just by looking at the pictures. The food definitely makes up for it though!

    Spicy tomato shrimp

    Black bean noodle and spicy noodle are staple. Very yummy! But the spicy tomato shrimp was very good! Make sure to order a bowl of rice as well. Highly recommend that yall try different menu besides black bean noodle and jjamppong

    Before we walked in, we knew this spot would be great. We were on a quest to find delicious jjangmyeon and stumbled upon this hole-in-the-wall, authentic Korean spot. There was a lot of seating and the interior decoration made it feel homey. We ordered the jjangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, and spicy noodle soup. As we waited, we were served kimchi and radish as an appetizer. The kimchi tasted fresh and it was one of my favorite kimchis made because it wasn't too fermented. The food came out pretty quickly and the portions were pretty large. The jjangmyeon tasted fantastic and the sweet and sour pork was the perfect pair. The spicy noodle soup was so flavorful and the noodles were a great texture. It was such a great meal, I will be back for more. The people here are so friendly and very attentive. The food was fantastic and I really enjoyed my experience. Parking can be tight since there's only a few spots for a couple of businesses. We went at night, so it wasn't too much of a problem. Highly recommend!

    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.

    There are so many Korean food choices around Cerritos and La Palma adjacent areas…read more Nearly all have a specific type of food preparation different from each other. 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.

I'm hoping to share and bring more attention to this place since the food is so delicious.

My family always gets the seafood pancake which is stuffed with seafood like clams, squid, and oysters. And the soondubu is delicious and piping hot. Our favorite has to be the teokbokki (rice cake with squid). The sauce is nice and thick, spicy, and sweet. But the rice cakes are nice and chewy. The onions, carrots and green onions stewed in the sauce is perfection. Please come and support this hole in the wall spot. I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do!
