My favorite spot to get Korean comfort foods and soups. They've been around for a while. I've been coming with my grandparents for years and the quality stayed consistent. They servers and quick and friendly. They give a good amount of banchan but the spicy radish 깍두기 is my favorite! Theres a good amount of tables and there's a lot of tables inside. They give you sugar rice water at the end of the meal. read more

Jang Mo Gip Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I took some friends from New York and Southern California who had never tried Korean food before to this place! We ordered Nokdu jeon, spicy beef soup, hot stone bibimbap, hot stone spicy octopus, and fish. Everything was delicious and authentic. My friends cleaned their plates and even said they want to come back. I felt so proud of Korean food haha. The server was very attentive and helpful, introducing Korean dishes to my friends! It felt like real Korean mom's home cooking, and honestly, it made me feel like I was back in my home country. If you want to try authentic Korean food and enjoy a genuine Korean ambiance, this is the right place.:) read more

When we walked it, it was all Korean seniors eating at this place and we knew we came to the right spot. We came for the bossam and it was alright. Our fave was the spicy squid with udon noodles, that dish is 10/10. The bossam was a 6/10 and the seolleongtang was 7/10. The squid and noodles were absolutely delicious and it stayed hot the whole time on the sizzling place. The bossam was a tiny bit dry and lacked some flavor and the soup came out barely luke warm. All the banchan was good and the lady was pretty quick given that she was by herself. read more

Jang Mo Gip, which translates to Mother in Law's house and so the offerings are that cozy cooked meal vibes. I've been coming here for years with my grandparents, even before they moved to this location. It's the perfectly comfy cozy meal you need during soup season or when you're feeling under the weather. Love the beef seolleong tang which I request with the glass noodles. They have salt and green onions on the table so you can add and adjust the flavor based on your preference. It's perfect with the Kkakdugi which is radish kimchi. The service is quick and the ladies are friendly.They always end your meal by giving you a little cup of Shikae which is a sweet Korean rice drink. (Non alcoholic) There's plenty of parking in front of the store and within the larger plaza. read more

Hey Foodies, Opposite of American culture, in Korean culture, your mother in law not only treats you like a king, but also FEEDS you like a KING! Jang Mo Gip is a direct translation to Mother In Law's House and trust me, you and your party will FEAST like KINGS. Tucked away from a busy plaza, this restaurant is a hidden jewel. The interior will take you back to OG Korean immigration days, but similar to those days, the taste is unchanged. The owner continues to serve authentic Korean food that not only nourishes your soul after drinking, but also creates a great drinking environment. They have two party rooms which can fit read more

We came here at 10:30 AM on a Sunday because it was early and one of the 3 Korean restaurants open early in the area. We ordered the bossam and kimchi stew. The bossam included the end pieces which was dry. The stew was salty and too spicy. We were disappointed. We also had a horse fly flying around our table. Needless to say we won't be back. So many more options that you would think they would try to keep new customers. read more

Jang Mo Gip Restaurant - Bossam and kimchi stew - Korean Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I decided to give this place a try in GG. I have been to the Jang Mo Gip in Buena Park many times for years and now that I'm closer to this location I thought let's give it a try. The selection here isn't just soup variations but a whole menu full of Korean dishes and entrees. Spacious interior with ample sitting. Hubby and I ordered a sullung tang and yukgajang. The yukgajang was very flavorful and it came in a big bowl....i think next time hubby and I can split that together. His sullung tang was good as well. This feels like a spacious Korean comfort food place with no fluff with yummy taste. For the food I can give it a 4 star. The service however, acknowledgement of a person waiting to be seated around 10am in the morning on a Monday when it isn't full wasn't friendly. The wait staff had no acknowledgement of a customer being present. No smile and service ...was very lacking. It may have been the owner who spotted me and asked how many in the party eventually. Tossing down side dishes on the table when there isn't even a rush...I'm not sure how to take that. I think a smile and friendly tone would be a plus next time! 2 stars at most? ‍ I would like to come back again to try couple of other dishes, hoping the service is much more friendly next time. read more

We came for lunch and split the bossam. They gave us the sides and ice tea which were solid. I thought the food was bomb and came in a good portion size. They also gave us rice. I definitely ate too much but I don't regret it. Service was on point, they refilled the sides when we finished em without us asking. Would definitely come back. read more

Don't come here if you aren't Korean. First, we were given lukewarm tea while the other tables had steam coming out of their cups. Second, everyone had their side dishes given to them automatically after they ordered but ours was left on the counter and given to us 10-15 mins later. The woman serving us was also curt with her responses when we were asking her questions about the portion size. We spent $68.40 on only two dishes. The yukgaejung was decent but the bossam was disgusting. The pork belly was super thin and dry with black around the edges. The kimchi and pickled radish that it came with were extremely bitter and we had to spit it out. I actually googled it because I thought we were going to get food poisoning. Turns out its because its old. read more

Jang Mo Gip Restaurant - Bossam, do not get. Dry, thin, and the pickled radish and kimchi were extremely bitter. - Korean Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This is by far my favorite, authentic, unassuming Korean restaurants I've been frequenting with my parents for the past 6 months. Food here is so good. As always I get the ttaro gookbap and while the veggies weren't aggressively boiled, the way I usually like it, the spiced soup didn't fail to fill my tummy & satisfy my need for something warm and spicy. We also ordered the spicy pork bulgogi that came with a side of lettuce. Every side dish was soso good. I'm not a fan of bean sprouts but something about their quality and freshness of all ingredients just feels like I'm coming home to my grandma's kitchen! read more

Ordered the hangover soup and lived everything about it even the blood block was super yummy. The service was amazing super kind too and the inside was spacious and welcoming to sit at. read more

This is a great spot for some really good Korean food with an old school traditional vibe. If you're not Korean you'll feel more Korean! There is a whole range of classical Korean dishes that you can choose from that are all really good, they have pretty much everything! We had their ossam bulgogi and their Maeun YangNyum Dwaeji Galbi (spicy marinated beef rib), and it really hit the spot! We managed to meet the owner here and he was super nice and friendly, and their servers were really helpful as well! This is your one stop shop for a range of Korean food! Great for all occasions! It's not directly inside the plaza but you have to walk a little extra to spot it! Plenty of parking at the plaza! Highly recommended! read more

This score is only for the dish we had. Kimchi Dwaeji Galbi Jeongol. I've been coming here since I was a kid when the old place had a blue roof. I use to love it and I know my parents did because we would come here a lot. The broth lacked flavor, using water as a base instead of a bone broth. The kimchi wasn't sour enough which is desperately needed for this dish to pop. Overall, disappointed in this dish. There steamed mandu was delicious and there banchan always good. Although the service was shorthanded, there always nice and try there best. I will come back, but will definitely eat something else. read more

This place is the bomb! Omg soooo good and would definitely come back. We're not Korean and aren't too familiar with what some of the banchan even were but they were great. Hubby had the ossam lunch special (squid +pork in spicy chili paste). The flavor on this is just unmatched, truly amazing. I kept dipping my beef in his sauce. The beef bulgogi was good too and spicy tofu soup was also very flavorful. Ladies were very nice too! read more

Great cozy hole-in-the-wall-vibes that is all focused on comfort korean food with no frills. The food came in generous portions with some tasty banchans! Especially that cold tofu dish - I would come here just for that alone because it's just THAT good. Both the stews were pretty good! - Kimchi Jiggae: lots of kimchi and pork pieces that just fall apart. Honestly, this is like 3 portions for me so I knew I could take it to-go and add more ingredients as well :) - Ttukbaegi Bulgogi: wow this one was even better! Sweet and umami. Plus the glass noodles! Service was quick and friendly - plus they were even able to seat us within 30 min of closing. We were in and out in less than an hour! Gotta love the efficiency. read more

NOPE! Highly do not recommend. Came here for the bossam. They served us regular lettuce instead of the steamed salted cabbage (said they were sold out) with the bossam. Perhaps tell the customers prior to them ordering? I'm Korean; bossam needs to be eaten with the salted cabbage! It's a completely different flavor bite. The place was empty aside from us and two others. She also skimped us on the ratio of radish and we had to ask for more. All the bowls for our makguli smelled like bleach, as well as, the other cups. Ended up drinking it out of paper cups. She let us know they have a "chemical" in the machine. It's bleach. She also rushed us out 10 min before closing. Never offered anything for wasting our makguli in the previously served bleached bowls. No warmth in this place. Makes Koreans look bad. Won't be coming back. read more

I rarely leave reviews but felt the need to. A mom and pop restaurant with the owners frequently in house. The owners were super friendly and frequently check in with us. Service was A+! Amazing and authentic Korean food. Would consider driving from LA to eat Korean food here. I got their seafood pancake with soondubu. Other items that I saw that looked amazing from other tables were the osam bulgogi if you're looking for meat. Army stew if you want some soup. Ooooh and their bossam. Portion size is big so I would recommend to order a couple items and share amongst friends! Essentially any variety of Korean food they have it! Especially seafood variety! Highly recommend! read more

Certainly is a "gip"! I'm not sure how this place has been opened for decades but it sure lives up to the slang of being a "gip." They couldn't bother to serve us the correct sides that go with our dish. When asked, they said that they were out of stock. Must have been a busy day considering nobody was in the restaurant. Would have been understandable considering it was a Sunday if it wasn't for the fact that they were eagerly waiting to kick us out of our table when we weren't finished. Tons of other better Korean restaurants on this street. Go somewhere else. read more

One of my go-to Korean restaurants. My favorite dish is Maeun Dwaeji. Beef tendon is excellent. Banchan are very good.

A real home spot with ahjumas and the whole bit. Just sitting around watching dramas and talking smack. Love it. Really tasty home style dishes, in a good way. The banchan is a bit sloppy and haphazard but it's good/standard. I like how they serve really early so u can come for breakfast if u want. Not fancy but I love that. And I love things served on a sizzle plate. read more

A must try is the spicy pork ribs with cheese and seafood noodles. The ribs are tender, spicy, and perfectly balanced by gooey cheese. The seafood noodles are flavorful with fresh spicy squid and chewy udon noodles. Cozy vibe, great food. You'll leave happy and full! read more

Delicious Korean restaurant with no frills. We ate here while waiting for our reservation at Queen Spa. I loved the ban chan and dolsot bibimbap. My friend got a sundubu with seafood. Everyone in here was Korean. They have lunch specials and bathroom was clean. You get a tea with your meal. There was k drama playing and lots of older Korean folks eating. I would come back! read more

JangMoJip Korean Restaurant is a gem that everyone should experience. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by super friendly servers who make you feel right at home. The food is incredibly tasty and authentically Korean--it's easy to see why so many elders come here regularly. You know it's the real deal when the locals love it! The prices are very reasonable for the generous portions you receive, and there's plenty of parking, which is always a plus. If you're looking for recommendations, you absolutely must try the GamJaTang. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water--it's that good! This place has it all: great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Don't miss out on this wonderful dining experience! read more

I got the spicy tofu soup combo it was little bit spicier than I like but it was really good.

What happened to this place? Sullungtang soup had no flavor and the thin slices of meats were all dry! We threw them away. This was a major disappointment from the restaurant that I've been going to for decades. read more

We love the soups here. They make the best sul lung tang. We also love the seafood sundubu, which contains plenty of seafood, including oysters. Those are our top 2 favorite soups. Both have such a rich and deep broth. The doenjang jjigae (soybean stew) is also good but a bit spicy for my taste. The tteok mandu guk is also a delicious soup that is super filling because of the rice cakes and dumplings. We ordered the haejangguk (hangover soup) to try today and were asked when placing the order if we wanted cow blood added to it. We said we did not, but when we opened our to-go order at home, there was a huge chunk of blood in it. Small pieces of blood were throughout the soup as well, so we had to toss the whole soup. The seafood pancake is huge and thick. It is a little bready for my taste though, so not worth ordering. Overall, their prices are very reasonable. To-go orders come with 2 huge containers of radish kimchi and kimchi! read more

It pains me greatly to write this as this place has been a favorite of mine for decades. It was a trust worthy place to go for deep flavor sullungtang. I recently drove to this area to pick up a couple hoping to satisfy a craving. I walked in to find the place absolutely empty of customers, but figured it is a bit early for lunch crowd and I know it doesn't ever get super busy so I wrote it off. I brought it home, eager and hungry only to taste the worst watered down soup I have ever had. It literally tasted like they added water to the broth. No amount of salt could bring out the flavor. It was horrible and I felt bad for serving it to my family. I know it's very possible that I got unlucky and was served the broth before it cooked long enough to deepen any flavor, but this was absolutely unacceptable. Very disappointed. read more

Honestly I was a little disappointed by the service.. or lack there of. After me and my friends were done eating we sat there for about twenty minutes and nobody brought us a check or anything. I had to go get to go containers and bags myself. The food was okay, I've had better. I honestly wouldn't come back. read more

If you are looking for healthy home cooking, they don't call this place mother in law's kitchen for nothing! If you are ever in doubt, soups are always welcome so we were glad we found this place. The seolang tang is light yet full of beef bone flavor while the deojeong soup is pungent and powerful. We loved both of them for their differences and uniqueness. Comes with rice and banchan of kimchi, bean sprouts, and two other spicy fermented vegetables. Then you get a sweet little bowl of rice water to wash it down. Love the refreshing barley tea you are served at the beginning. read more

This particular Korean restaurant has a very homey vibe, and the workers are extremely well manners and kind. This type of place brings me back to my home country, as Sul lung Tang, is a soup that I crave every now and then. The first thing I noticed when I took my first sip of the soup was how comforting it tasted. The warm and soothing broth instantly made me feel at ease, and the tender beef added a nice texture to each spoonful. The noodles were perfectly cooked, providing a chewy and satisfying bite. But what really impressed me about this dish was its depth of flavor. The broth was incredibly rich and savory, with a subtle hint of sweetness from the bones. The garnishes added a nice contrast to the savory flavors, and the overall combination was nothing short of delicious. Overall, I highly recommend trying sul lung tang at this restaurant. It's the perfect dish for a chilly day, and is sure to warm you up from the inside out. The parking is also pretty nice and the price is really good for what you get. read more
