    Kimchi Gamjatang (묵은지 감자탕)
    Ernest C.

    I can't believe I made it this far in life without trying 묵은지 감자탕. What an incredible combination! I've officially found a new craving. The portion was huge--loaded with tender, flavorful backbone meat--and the sour aged kimchi paired perfectly with it. We also tried the bossam, which came with thoughtful side dishes like cilantro, radish, and mungbean that complemented the pork belly beautifully. The belly had a subtle cinnamon note that really stood out and nicely cut through any potential gaminess. The service was excellent--our side dishes were refilled promptly, and the staff checked in regularly throughout the meal. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, with generous spacing between tables. No doubt I'll be back!

    Came here for some delicious tofu soup on a cold rainy night. The food took awhile to come out but it was definitely worth the wait. It was the right texture and had the right amount of spice. I will definitely be coming back!

    OMG this is literally the BEST bossam I've ever had in my life! What makes theirs special is the accompaniments. They include a bean sprout salad, chive salad, and radish salad. All the textures and different flavors make the bossam wrap a perfect bite. Don't sleep on their seafood pancake either - it was super crispy and filled with seafood. I love this place so much I'm already planning when to come back. 10/10, highly recommend!

    parking is abundant in a shared lot with the plaza! the restaurant is on the smaller end, but it has a cozy mom&pop shop feel. the food here was an instant 10/10. we ordered the cold noodles + galbi combo and of course the iconic pork belly (bossam). so flavorful & everything was cooked to perfection. the bonchon dishes were also so unique, yet cozy. we were served by on female server and she was so attentive and kind. id highly recommend jang ga nae to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful korean food! split between 3 people, we each paid around $30 after tip & tax.

    Marinated Raw Crab 4.5/5

    Located behind the small plaza in the back, parking is available but if during prime dinner time, you may need a little luck.. Restaurant is quiet (no loud music or people talking loudly) and has a few tables and seats. Menu is simple and there is one server for the whole restaurant. For my friend and I, we ordered the Marinated Raw Crab and a Pork Stew. Food was delicious and plenty. The marinated raw crab spicy version has a kick and goes great with some rice. It was savory and messy but we were provided gloves. The pork stew was flavorful with generous meat and ingredient. Price was very good considering how full we got for what we ate. Service was good even though there was only one server for the whole restaurant. She was attentive and did get a little busy closer to dinner time. Would recommend. This is like the place to have some comfort soul Seoul Food.

    Not sure why this place doesn't have booming business! The service and food was great! Truly a bang for the buck type of place! - marinated raw crab 5/5 - wish there was a little less veggies but the sauce is amazing! I normally can't handle very spicy food but the spice had a bit of sweetness to it. First time having marinated raw crab in a restaurant and it did not disappoint! - potato Pancake 5/5 - almost like a crispy veggie mochi. The texture is unbelievable if you are a texture person. Almost like the perfect cookie. Crispy around the outside and goes a little gushy towards the center - bulgogi 4/5 - I feel like they use better quality meat here. It's not as shredded and thin as most places I've been to. Could have used a bit more flavor - bonchon (korean side dishes) 5/5 - loved the few side dishes we got especially the seaweed noodle! Rarely get to see this anywhere else Plenty of parking in this lot, expect to spend about $30 a person and be plenty full

    Spicy raw marinated crab & kimchi cold noodles
    Katrina T.

    A cute little gem in Rowland Heights. I'm so happy I stumbled across this place. I told my friend that I was craving raw marinated crab - and let me tell you, this place did not disappoint. Between 2 people, we ordered the kimchi cold noodles, the spicy raw marinated crab, and the gamja kimchi tang. This was more than enough - the portions are generous & we had leftovers for the following day! The raw marinated crab was fresh and delicious - I love how they marinate it (almost felt as if I was eating a fusion between kimchi & raw crab). The kimchi cold noodles was one of the best I've ever had: delicious, flavorful, chewy! The kimchi gamja tang was amazing. The pork literally fell off the bone & I couldn't get enough! Highly recommend this place

    Jason S.

    Absolutely delicious gamjatang. Is a slightly spicy, very rich broth, vegetable and very tender pork soup. I highly highly recommend it. It's so rich in broth and savory. It's very much a comfort food. Service was really good and food came out relatively quick. Can't forget the side dishes, they were so good too.

    Our starter sides, which are complimentary and free refills.
    Jeremy H.

    The missus and I were looking for a new Korean place to try not too far from us and opted for this place. Easy to find and parking is pretty accessible. You could say it was pretty "desirable" (the street it's on is Desire Avenue lol). We were seated pretty quickly for a Saturday night and service was fast and efficient too. They kept consistent with refills and our orders. I ordered the bibimbap which was healthy and delicious, and offered a non spicy variant because I can't handle spicy and my missus ordered the short rib. Both came out pretty quick. It's not a huge place but there is decent seating and lighting. Will be back again.

    Jang Ga Nae came highly recommended by my friend Ji O. I always trust Ji when it comes to Korean food, as her recommendation always comes through for me. I took my mom here for lunch and we tried a variety of dishes. My mom is a direct, straight-forward person, and she genuinely enjoyed most of what we ordered. The interior is pretty small so I can see how you may have to wait coming with a larger group. We came right at open but it got busy quickly after we were seated. Free soda with yelp check in deal! Potato Pancake ($12.99) - Probably the one item I wouldn't order again. The crispy edges were good, but the center was really gummy-textured, and it doesn't reheat well as a leftover. This is the one item we agreed we would reorder. Gamja-Tang ($17.99) - Really delicious and good amount of meat in the pork neck. Not too difficult to eat. However they barely had any potatoes, and I really like potatoes. Nevertheless still delicious. Soup was on soup. Pork Belly Wraps with Garlic Sauce ($45.99) - Wow the most colorful selection of accompaniments with the pork belly. Yummmm. This was glorious and my mom loved it. Beef Galbi ($29.99) - BBQ Beef Short Ribs. My mom doesn't normally like beef, but she really enjoyed this galbi. Very flavorful. This dish took a lot longer to come out than the others so we were pretty full by the time it came out. The one thing we didn't love was their ban chans. At any other Korean restaurants my mom would eat so much and ask for so many refills I would feel borderline embarrassment. However she barely touched it here cause she didn't like it. We had zeroooo refills. What a record. Service was very nice, but the lady seemed busy being the only person who was front of house staff. Love the food, not the sides... which is fine since those are complimentary. Will come back to get the dishes we enjoy the most, but it does come at a premium price.

    yummy, with fast service on a random weekday for lunch, but not quite yoo's place in irvine. the side dish options were fewer/less varied.

    Pork neck and kimchi stew which
    Renee T.

    This little spot is an amazing place to get warm Korean goodness with your friends! Came here on a Wednesday night and it was pretty quiet, my friends and I were seated quickly and able to order quick. Service was great and food came fast! The food was soooo yum, I got the pork neck and kimchi stew which was so good, and we shared an order of garlic bossam. It was slightly sweet and so delicious. I would definitely recommend coming here.

    Jennifer C.

    First time here after my family raved about their traditional Korean food. I loved the freshness of the cold noodle soup, and it was my first time trying pork belly wrapped cabbage dish. Their appetizer side dishes that came with the pork belly dish and in the beginning were really devious. Flavor profiles had hints of salt, sweet, sour, spice all in the right places. I would definitely be back again!

The meat is not too sweet like a lot of other places. It's lightly caramelized, really tender and seasoned just right. My favorite way to eat it is with a spoon of rice, some tofu soup, a little bit of side dish and a piece of meat all in one bite. The flavor is just so good. You get the sweetness from the meat, umami from the soup and everything just goes really well together. I always refill the side dishes at least twice whenever I come here. They taste fresh and doesn't taste overly salty or too sweet like some places. Another thing I like is their combo actually comes with a regular size tofu soup. Most other tofu soup places only give you a much smaller bowl with the combo, so you definitely get more here. The ajummas are always super fast and really nice. I've been coming here for more than 5 years now and they never disappoint me.

But other than that, it's a regular restaurant. We came on a weekday night for a slightly later dinner and the restaurant was packed. We had to wait a couple minutes, but we were seated in around 10-ish minutes. Not bad. You can tell it's a community favorite since people were really friendly speaking with the servers in Korean. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Yumso Tang: -This is their hot and spicy goat soup. - I don't usually get this protein and soup base, but I wasn't the one that ordered. It is a hearty, very strongly goat flavored soup with lots of goat meat inside. -It's no spicier than a Shin Ramyun, so no worries about that, but quite flavorful and has a decent amount of leeks and other veggies inside. Definitely goes great with rice. 2) Soondae Jupsi: -Korean pork sausage plate. -This is a very generous amount of Korean blood pork sausage with some offal to the side too. I can sort of eat the blood sausage okay with the vinegar and salt combo, but need rice with it. And I'm not a fan of the offal pieces after. I was treated out, so I can't complain. Not the biggest fans of what was ordered, but I'm sure it's good for those who enjoy these dishes naturally. It also came with banchan and the purple Korean rice (my fav).

I can truly say with my heart that SoCal KBBQ really got the Bay Area beat. The waitlist showed 45m originally but we got in within 25ish. The meat quality was solid. I got Set B so I could try the LA galbi, which was made perfectly. I also liked the rib fingers. They were juicy and had good flavor. I'm simple though, so most of the time I just stuck with brisket. Overall, I'd probably give the food itself a 4/5. Nothing was bad by any means, it's solid and cant do wrong compared to other spots in the area. As for the service, our waitress, I think her name was Christine or Kristine? She was so attentive, friendly, professional, and just completely on top of everything. I was having a really crappy day after work and her enthusiasm really cheered me up. It's really the small attention to detail things that stood out. For example, I love rice paper and by the 2nd time I reordered and finished it, she was like, "more rice paper?" with a lil finger gun action. It's little things like this that make a difference and keep customers returning, so I hope the other staff members also have the same enthusiasm next time I'm back. I was constantly being checked on, my grill kept getting replaced, waters refilled, etc. You can tell this definitely isn't her first time working KBBQ. She just knew what she was doing and was always one step ahead. The service she provided was honestly better than what I've received at high end places like COTE in NYC or San Ho Won in SF, where I'm paying way more and you'd expect that level of service. They also have a couple things you don't see at every Korean BBQ place, like Korean chimichurri, mala seasoning, and cuts like flat iron (my fave) and pichana. I really liked the house samjang too. It had a lot of depth and worked well with the meat. Overall, I'd give the food a 4/5, but my waitress's service is what bumped the entire experience up to a 5/5 for me. I would definitely come back if I wanted AYCE, the food was solid. I really wish we had this level of service up in the Bay!! I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. I can't wait to have the rib fingers with that samjang and chimichurri again!
