Not sure how this mom and pop restaurant got an overall 3.8 (as of August 2026), but this place is a hidden gem with great Korean soup dishes, like their sullungtang. The sullungtang is tasted clean and flavorful, and you get to choose glass or wheat noodles in it. It also comes with a side of white rice. There wasn't much banchan selection, but they give you a generous portion of kimchi as well as radish kimchi. Service was prompt and the Korean aunties were nice. read more

If you are looking for a great bowl of Seolleong Tang in OC you should definitely visit! The broth here is so clean and rich, served alongside some solid banchan! Definitely one of my comfort meals that I crave often. The service here is normally really quick and the ahjummas really just get it done. The restaurant itself has pretty limited seating but I never find myself waiting long:) read more

Jang Mo Jip - Seolleong Tang - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

One of my best friends took me here to try an authentic Korean breakfast soup. The bone broth soup here is LEGIT savory, complex in its clean umami broth. I ordered one that had beef; blood cubes, seaweed. I could eat this soup everyday, but don't want to end up lookin' like SHAQ. However, the stars are truly the 3 banchan dishes served right before your stone pot soup arrives. The kimchi here is full bodied, crisp, and perfectly seasoned. Wow! Ambience is traditional with lots of natural light, perfect to see how someone looks up close lol, in real life. And even crazier, I was far from home and still ran into a Korean person I know! read more

Delicious authentic Korean soups, stews, and side dishes. It doesn't get better than this. This is THE authentic Korean soup spot. They are very famous for their haejangguk with blood pudding. I know sounds gross but it's soooo delicious lol and it'll heal your soul I swear. read more

Jang Mo Jip - Seolleong Tang with white noodles - Korean Near Me - Buena Park, California

I've walked by Jang Mo Jip so many times and haven't gone in because the lack of english in the store was just a little intimidating. However, my friend and I chose to stop by one chilly day, and the seollongtang really hit the spot. My friend's number 1 order had only beef slices why my number 2 had lots of tripe. So yummy. I love that they let you season the soup with salt and green onions, and choose whether you want clear noodles or wheat noodles in the soup. Price wise, this place is super reasonable, and I'll probably be back before long. read more

The Seolleongtang was rich without being too heavy, and the meat was tender. The kimchi and radish kimchi were just as good as the soup. Simple, satisfying, and worth coming back for. read more

Hang Mo Jip has authentic Korean specialty soups and dishes. These specialties are not just delicious but they are very healthy. I just had total knee replacement surgery. So, my daughter picked up 도가니탕 ( beef tendon & bones) to help with the recovery after the surgery. read more

What a place. Their Sul lung tang very delicious, banchan is home made, and just love the cozy ambiance. Just order Sul lung tang w/ beef only + glass noodles and thank me later. Lastly, love the prompt customer service~!! Highly recommend it. read more

Homey, super down to earth, but everything you'd want in a bowl of 설렁탕. I will say that when I went, it got busy, but due to the lack of workers, I had difficulty getting water refilled. I will say, though, the food was really good and was nostalgic! read more

Good ambiance, price is fair, and overall is placed in a great city in downtown Vancouver

All the soups here are OP. Tried about everything here. Their Mandu is delicious here maybe the best around. Tha Ryu guy bap is really good and meaty. Overall a great place for quick korean soup meal. read more

I can tell Jang Mo Jip has been feeding the community for decades. Interior is typical of a homey Korean restaurant with a small menu. I came with my wife since she had fond memories of coming here. Service was great, the waitresses made sure to keep our banchan full. As for the stews, they were average to me but it does the job. Nothing spectacular but also nothing wrong. It's not as good as Han Yang but I don't mind coming back. 3.5 stars for me rounded to 4 to help small businesses. read more

Perfect place to go early in the morning for seollungtang! I have been going here for many years and love their side dishes of kelp and radish kimchi. I've only ordered in Korean but I'm sure they can accommodate. That's how you know it's authentic Korean food haha I order the seollungtang with jirah and clear noodles. read more

Although the food menu is not extensive, the restaurant is famous for its delicious food. Korean hangover soup is probably the best in the OC area. It may be a very simple food, but it has a rich taste and a good feel. In Korea, having soup and a glass of soju with friends is a small culture. read more

Lemme put these stars into context: this is legit, old school, homemade taste Korean food before the frills and sugar and excessive spices came in because everyone became obsessed with kpop and kdramas and Korean food started transforming to suit other palates. This is the closest thing you can get in this area to a legit traditional Korean hangover soup spot from old school Seoul. That means some things might be a little plainer and require you to know how to stir in the right amount of salt / spices / green onion from the table. Everyone in this area talks about Han Yang being "better" - Han Yang's cool and all and probably where you'd go to take your non-Korean friends for Korean food, when they need that Americanized burst of extra salt and sugar. And that's what THAT place is for - THIS place is not for that. It's for when you are sick or feeling down and need soup and you want it clean and hot and simple, and when half your fam wants seollungtang and the other half wants yukgaejang and you're all too tired to cook it yourself. The service is probably not amazing. That's how you know you're in a legit old school spot. Could they do better with the service? Sure. Will they ever read these reviews and switch up their game? Don't count on it. Know what you're going in for and get that gukbab or seollungtang and be glad there are still establishments making this for when ya feelin under the weather. Stay blessed, Jang Mo Jip. I've been lucky to grow up always having you close by. read more

I was at the coffee shop next door but the restroom was broken. I asked if I could use the restroom and offered to buy something in return. They were so nice and just let me use the restroom without buying anything. They said I could come back to eat their food next time which I will definitely do! Very hardworking and nice staff :) read more

Haven't been here in over 15+ years but the taste is still the same. I've always had gookbap and this time was no exception. This is one place you can always come to and forward to the same taste that you remember. Servers are always friendly and always busy. Very grandma house kinda feel. Love this place. read more

Jang Mo Jib (장모집), which translates to "the house of the mother-in-law," has consistently exceeded my expectations. Their Kimchi and 깍두기 (radish kimchi) are consistently fresh and delicious. In Korea, there's a saying that the quality of Kimchi determines the overall quality of the food, and I've always enjoyed the consistently delicious taste of Kimchi prepared by Jang Mo Jib. On this visit, I opted for the ox knee and tendon soup (도가니탕) for health reasons, while my sister ordered the chicken noodle soup (닭칼국수) along with a dumpling plate (만두 접시). The portion of the chicken noodle soup was incredibly generous, and we couldn't finish it all, so we had leftovers to enjoy later. The meal was satisfyingly filling. read more

Great spot when you are craving Korean soups. Their sulungtang and tarogukbap are legit and their mandoo is good too

I have been going to this place since I was a child, and it's still so good. The food is comfort food for sure and the kimchi is fresh and delishes. The service was friendly and attentive. read more

It is a go-to place for anyone craving a boiling hot Korean beef soup. This place has been in the business over 20 years. We had enjoyed almost all in their menu. My personal favorite is the dumpling soup; very huge homemade ones. But they are known for Sul lung Tang. Beef broth is very rich with thinly sliced briskets. Also, beef and vegetable soup has full of meats and bean sprouts. Inside is cozy a few tables so many local neighbors order takeouts. read more

This classic flavor is the epitome of Seolleongtang ( or sul lung tang, however you want to spell it). It obviously is not 100% like the OG original in Garden Grove but it so similar you could easily mistake it for the original. I always regret ordering it at any other restaurant. And come on now, how can you deny that the restaurant also has a hilarious name. read more

Some friends, my husband, and I visited Jang Mo Jip on Sun, 4/10 at around 7:00 PM. The restaurant seemed like a store straight out of Korea lol. Nothing frilly. The updated menus were primarily in Korean, but they had one photo that was translated into English so I was able to base my food choice on that (coming from someone who doesn't read or speak KR lol). The worker(s) also primarily speak Korean with very limited English as well but fortunately, one of our friends is Korean so she helped us all order! Jang Mo Jip is known for their sul rung tang - sliced beef, in boiled ox bone marrow soup, served with scallions, rice and kimchi so we decided to order 4 of those. The bone broth was rich and of course, not salty (you are supposed to add your own salt). I actually added some of the kimchi juices (lol don't come at me people) and it was overall so delicious. The banchan is mainly radish and kimchi and it was unlimited. I've always appreciated a banchan refill hehe. I enjoy radish kimchi and it wasn't too sour and had just enough flavor. Menu - Prices increased from the previous menu (prob due to inflation). New prices range from $14(+) -$30, which I feel are still reasonable given the quality of the item. Parking - Plenty of parking available in the lot! Not sure if it was because we came later on a Sunday, but we had no trouble at all. All in all, I'd come back. The dishes tasted authentic to me and it was comforting on a semi-cold night. :) read more

I've been going to this place for over ten years. They are consistently great and it's one of the best beef bone soups around this area (not counting ktown of course). If you're new to this place, try their Seolleongtang (ox bone soup). The soup comes unseasoned so you can add the salt and spring onions to your taste. I love this because I don't like to see too salty. The chicken ginseng soup is great when you're feeling like you're under the weather or hungover. And the Bosam platter is SO good but you definitely need a few people to share with. I read some reviews that this is not great for English speakers. I would argue the case, they have an English menu be the waitress speaks good enough English to recommend what to eat. read more

We've been coming here for years. Food is always consistent and so good on colder days. Service has always been quick and ladies are nice.

Don't come to dine, just order take out! This place used to have exceptional service but i don't know what happened. Came in to eat with my mom for dinner. I get that they get busy but why did it take 30min for my mom's 콩국수 to come out even after the multiple times we waved down the servers. All that the server lady said was, "it takes a long time to make the noodle dish". Mind you, I finished my beef soup even before my mom received her noodles. Highly wouldn't recommend dining in! read more

Togoed Daro kook Bob (following their menu spelling; the spicy beef and veggie stew) was flavorful and beef was tender. They gave a lot of beef in the soup. Much better than la palma location. read more

Service is very quick and not overbearing. The food is just top notch. The kimchi and the radish is just whole new level. The premises is very clean. read more

PROS: - Plenty of parking in the plaza where this place is located at. - Inside, the establishment reminds me of actually being in Korea. - The sulungtang is delicious, and load it up with a ton of meat. - The radish and cabbage kimchee is on point! - They provide hot or cold "boh-ree-chah" (barley tea). - The steamed dumplings were awesome! Do try them. The skin was so chewy and delicious. CONS: - Could be a bit of a wait during peak hours or during colder weather. - No menus in English. So non-Korean speakers beware. Just pull up yelp and point to what you want. FINAL THOUGHTS: - This place was great, but for non english speakers, it could be a bit challenging to communicate with the workers there or navigate the menu. Also, it was weird that even though there was a line of people, there was no waiting list to write your name down. You just have to trust that the person working inside remembers you. read more

We got there for the first time today. Good choice to have a hot bone soup after heavy raining. We liked their napa kimch and radish kimch but the bon soup broth itself, was like a water color, not rich as close as Yigah bone soup. Overall, rice, two kimches were 5 stars. The bone soup is 3 stars for the quality. read more

Excellent Korean restaurant serving about a dozen dishes. I ordered the dogani tang (ox knee bone soup) and added the green onion myself. You will get three sides and soups come with rice. I don't think they have menus with photos and the service is basic so I advise looking at pictures on Yelp before you arrive. read more

BUGS IN FOOD!!! DO NOT EAT HERE. We picked up two soups to go and as soon as we scooped some into our bowl, we found this maggot looking bug in our soup. Seriously concerned that their kitchen is unclean. We called and told them and they told us to bring it back and they'll give us a new soup. No, thank you. Had to throw them both away. Such a waste of money. We've been regulars here for a while but we're so concerned about the cleanliness of their kitchen and ingredients that we won't be going back. read more

This place has been in the same place as long as I can remember. Good bone broth always. When you have a hangover, or you are just under the weather, you gotta try their SullungTang (beef bone broth with sliced meats and clear noodles) and kakdoogi (sliced radish kimchi). You have to add in some salt and green onions to your liking before eating. Dayum! It is so good! Service is 'eh' but that's all like that in mom and pop place like this. You just judge on their food. read more

Had Summer special menu - cold bean noodle and yeolmu bibimbap. Noodle was good and the yeolmu bibibap was excellent. I would come again and again for them. Kimchi we're great as they should be for a restaurant known for beef soups. One disappointment was the mandu. It was not very flavorful. I will skip the mandu next time. read more

Still one of the reliable restaurants. Kimchi & radishes are one of the best, it's fresh. They give you scissor to cut the fresh kimchi to your liking. You can always ask for more which they are happy to provide. Although the there is a little price hike, it's understandable because so is everywhere. Services is very good. They greet you as you enter and as you leave. read more
