I have never experienced anything like this in my 24 years of life. I ordered takeout through Uber Eats on June 30, and this is what I received: Jokbal with a horrifying twist. When I opened the foil wrapping, I found a fly with its eggs inside, right next to the meat. This is absolutely disgusting and a serious food safety concern. I couldn't eat any of the food after seeing this. No customer should ever have to experience something like this. I will be reporting this incident to the health department so it can be properly investigated. read more

I arrived for dinner around 5pm on a Friday and while the parking was getting full, the restaurant was empty which was great! The ajummas are really nice here and made sure we had everything we needed to dine in. The restaurant got more crowded and busy as we got closer to 6-7pm for dinner rush. Bossam - 5/5, really nice texture and thick cuts! Lots of umami and savory flavors. The pork belly was tender and they had all the sides for the wrap including the lightly picked Napa cabbage, garlic, jalapeños, kimchi radish, fermented shrimp, and ssamjang. Also more veggies including carrots and cucumber. read more

Came here craving a comforting bowl of galbi tang, and this place absolutely hit that spot! Even though I think they're mainly known for their pork broth soups, we went with the classic beef short rib soup, and we left very satisfied! The short ribs were huge and incredibly tender. I barely had to touch them before the meat was basically falling off the bone. The broth had a deep, comforting flavor without being overly salty (which is a blessing to enjoy the flavor). We also ordered the pork cutlet on the side, and honestly, the portion was massive for like a quick lunch. Crispy, filling, and definitely enough to take leftovers home! The banchan was simple but solid too, especially the big slices of cucumber and daikon, along with pieces of pancake on the side. The atmosphere is very down-to-earth with Korean signage and an artsy wall, no fancy décor or over-the-top presentation. Service is straightforward and efficient. You're not here to be pampered. You're here for hot, delicious comfort food done right. read more

Drove all the way from New Port to Garden Grove to eat here. Actually, flew from Colorado to OC. Early Sunday morning, only one server but had 3 tables already occupied. Must be good. Ambiance? Just mom and pop restaurant fell. Service was good. We got the Dried Pollack Soup (북어국) and Dumpling & Rice Cake Soup (떡만두국). Pollock soup was hearty, clean tasting and exceeded the expectation. Dumpling soup was very rich and filled with lot of dumplings. Side dishes were delicious too. We were so full, we didn't even bother ordering anything else. Will definitely come back to this location. read more

I recommend their beef bone broth soup and grilled atka mackerel, grilled squid, and seafood pancake. We will come back for their giant galbi stew and steamed dumplings to share with friends. Most portions are huge, best to dine family style to try everything. Service is fast and friendly. The shop is spacious and clean. They don't salt their soup but there is table salt for you to adjust. read more

Not a new review, just a more recent review to confirm that the food still hits and the ajoonmas are still friendly Ordered the OGs, gamjatang and bossam. Both slapped, left full as always. Feels like having a meal at your relatives house with a honey ambiance. If you haven't gone, go. It's also right next to the viral cream puff spot so two birds with one stone! read more

No frills, great tasting food kinda place. Was sat immediately and placed my order in 30 seconds. Top-notch lunch service. The waitress steered me to a soju that would better accompany my meal. Listen to the experienced waitresses; their pairings are like that of a trained sommelier. The pork belly and intestine soup was sumptuous and rich. It warmed my belly and soul. They provide you condiments to add so you can alter to your taste. Plenty of protein in the soup and nice banchan. Would def come back to explore more of the menu. read more

Jong Ro Shul Lung Tang in Garden Grove is the superhero of Korean soups that my taste buds didn't know they needed. I wandered in on a whim, expecting a quick slurp, but ended up in a full-on flavor fiesta that had me questioning all my life choices up to that point--like why haven't I been bathing in this bone broth daily? First off, their jongro bap (that's ox bone soup for the uninitiated with tripe and tendon) is like if a cow decided to retire in a spa and simmer for eternity. Milky, rich, and so deep in flavor it could solve world peace if politicians just took a sip. You get to play mad scientist at the table, dumping in salt, scallions, and kimchi like you're customizing your own potion. Mine turned out so epic, I swear it gave me superpowers--I floated out of there feeling invincible (or maybe that was just the food coma). We also demolished their seafood pancake, which was basically a crispy UFO packed with shrimp and squid that were probably line-dancing in the ocean hours before. It was huge, like it could feed a small village or one very hangry me. And the galbi tang? Those beef ribs were so tender, they fell off the bone faster than my dignity after one too many K-dramas. The banchan sides were on point-- that kimchi had more kick than a taekwondo master, and I loved every spicy second. The staff? Friendlier than a golden retriever at a fetch convention. They hooked us up with menu tips without making us feel like noobs, and the place is cozy like your grandma's kitchen--if grandma blasted subtle K-pop and served soup that could cure hangovers, heartbreak, and maybe even taxes. All this magic for under $25? It's a steal! If you're not racing to Jong Ro right now, you're souping wrong. Five stars? Make it ten--I'm officially a convert, and my next tattoo might just be a bowl of this stuff. Slurp responsibly, folks! read more

I waited to review this restaurant because one of the first times I came, we had found a piece of plastic packaging on the meat that was cooked in the dish. The employees didn't charge us for that dish but also were not very apologetic. Also I didn't like that you have to pay for the coffee at the machine by the front entrance. I avoided eating here for awhile, but eventually ended up going back multiple times because my husband liked taking my son here for soup. All the other times we've been back, there's never been an issue again, and I even found a dish here that I love. Their samgyetang (chicken and ginseng soup) is perfect in the winter when I'm feeling under the weather. The first time I had it, they put a lot of whole garlic inside the chicken stuffing, which made me love this soup so much. In subsequent visits, it hasn't been quite as garlicky, but it's still good and always hits the spot. It's truly a comfort food type of soup - very healthy but not heavy. Other dishes we regularly get here are bossam and oxtail soup. read more

Came in here looking for something to battle my body's aches and pains and I found just the thing -- Cornish Hen soup... mm was it good and did it hit the spot! The soup comes out piping hot and will burn your insides (just what I was looking for that day) and the bonchon will keep you busy and satisfied while the staff judges you for coming alone :) Ambiance is casual and staff is friendly and warm. Can't wait to return here again soon! read more

locating in the same plaza at grams, jong ro shul lung tang is a cozy "mom and pop" vibe restaurant! parking was not a hassle and there was plenty of seating. the menu has pictures for every dish and the service was very friendly. one of my favorite side dishes was the spicy rice cakes! their radish had a nice kick and was crunchy. for my entree, i got the beef bone soup with brisket. there were two options for noodles, but i opted for the glass noodles which had the perfect texture. the meat had a good amount of fat on it too. the broth wasn't the riches broth i've had, but the dish was still delicious. everything was priced well and the service was amazing. i would definitely come here again to get my sul lung tang fix :) read more

I was craving soup during the storm. We decided to come here a weekday night, there was no wait and last call is 9pm. We ordered the sul lung tang and rib bone soup. There was two noodle options for sul lung tang. Each of our soups included one rice bowl. The banchans are kimchi, japchae, pickled radish, radish kimchi. The sul lung tang fell short of my expectations. Despite it being a beautiful milky broth, it lacked some flavor. But the meat was tender. The rib bone soup had a clear and light broth and served temperature hot that had more flavor. read more

One of my absolute favorite Korean soup places. Everything taste home made, the banchan (sides) and also all the soups! Parking is very easy it's in the corner and shared with Gras, never had any issues. Food: remember to add salt and onion to taste!! It's done like that on purpose!! Beef Bone Soup with Brisket (5/5): It's super flavorful with a lot of meat. It's very clean but rich at the same time, Beef Rib Soup (5/5): must get! Lots of meat, a lot of flavor, and glass noodles inside! I'm craving it already just writing this review. The portions are huge! Service is great it's usually a Korean mom or two working and they are so sweet! read more

When the weather turns cold, I always find myself coming back here. It's like a cozier, more homey version of Sun Nong Dan. This place serves up all the comforting Korean classics you'd want on a chilly day. For soup lovers, I highly recommend the sulungtang or galbitang! Both are rich, hearty, and perfect for warming you up from the inside out. If you're coming with friends, the galbi jjim is good and they have a non spicy and spicy version. It's tender, flavorful, and great for sharing (comes with rice included!). It's just the right portion for three people. The banchan selection is on the smaller side, but what they lack in variety they make up for in quality. You'll get radish kimchi, regular kimchi, marinated onions and mushrooms, and fish cake. It taste like your imo made it. Parking shouldn't be too bad as it's in a plaza and if you want dessert head over to the best creampuff deal in all of OC at manmi!! read more

On a visit to see family I finally stepped into this place in person to have a delicious lunch. Ban Chan were on point, and the seoullong tang was solid.

After reading the reviews, I wanted to give this place a try. I've been wanting to have Korean food in SoCal and I saw this place when I drove by the last time we were in the area last year. We came here after a day in the parks and were immediately seated after arriving. The restaurant is medium in size, with posters of food decorating the windows and a large poster depicting the Jong Ro Special for Alcohol Pairing dangling from the ceiling. A spinning ceiling fan oversees the restaurant and a small line of beige-cushioned booths sits along the wall, which has a mural of a village on it. We ordered the following: Pork backbone soup - This is Hubs' usual go to when we go to Korean restaurants, so he must be getting bored with it. But, we thought this was pretty good. Leek vegetable pancake - We love this pancake. This was nice and crispy and has loads of scallions. Hubs said that this could be one of the better ones that he's ever had. Stir fried squid - Daughter liked this a lot. This is the tried and true dish and she said that this was delicious. Hubs didn't expect much with this dish and he was pleasantly surprised and said this entree was outstanding. This was sweet and spicy. Overall, service was quick and friendly. Their water tasted a little bit weird, so I stuck with the soda. I wish they closed their doors because there were flies throughout our meal. But, that's au natural! Glad we got to try this place! read more

The food here was ok. It wasn't busy when we went so the wait wasn't long for the food. I wanted to write a review as it felt weird they gave us a strange and loud reaction of "ANOTHER ONE?!" when we asked for to-go containers. Mind you I initially asked for like 4 and they still kept it to 3 but one of this dishes we needed to separated was a soup dish. Idk it's not like we're wasting food...we're bringing it home Weird response to a customer asking for to-go boxes. read more

This place never disappoints! The shul lung tang is simply so fresh and comforting. Our go-to food when we don't want anything greasy that will still stuff us. They serve the typical Korean side dishes -- cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, pickled radish, and fish cake. Their cabbage kimchi is our favorite but it was a bit disappointing during our recent visit. We barely taste the shrimp paste flavor that we love and we think that sets their kimchi apart from other places. Aside from that, we also love their green onion pancake but it's kind of expensive for $16. The service is great. The ahjummas are nice and you can ask for refills for the side dishes. The ambiance fits their food -- warm and comforting. read more

Had such a cozy family meal here! We ordered the bossam, soft tofu soup, beef short rib, and pork backbone soup--everything was delicious and shareable. The bossam was fresh and flavorful, and the meat in the soups was tender and moist. All the banchan (side dishes) were tasty and really rounded out the meal. The service was friendly and welcoming. There was a bit of a language barrier, but it wasn't an issue at all--the staff was very kind and attentive. The place was full of Korean locals, which is always a good sign, and the atmosphere felt homey and comforting. If you're looking for hearty, authentic Korean comfort food, this is definitely the spot. We'll definitely be back! read more

My husband and I love coming here whenever we are craving Korean comfort food. Our go-to's are the sulleongtang and galbitang whenever we are sick or hungover. My husband also loves their gamjatang and their banchan. The auntie's here are nice and give great service! read more

The food here is amazing as always. Service is good, not like other places where the lower service if you're non-Korean. I love their Galbitang, dogaenitang, and seollantang. We also always get the tofu soup and its one of the best here in OC, better than chain restaurants like bcd and kaju. Their banchan is also super good and I love the radish kimchi. Only downside is they do not provide containers for the side dishes to-go. I hope they do in the future, even if its for an additional charge. read more
