A really comforting Korean spot in LA. We ordered the Spicy Braised Beef Short Rib, Beef Rib Soup with Glass Noodles, and Chive Pancake--everything tasted rich, warm, and very homemade. The beef rib was HUGE (literally bigger than my arm) and incredibly tender. I also loved the sweet kabocha pumpkin inside the stew. Even the takeout packaging is thoughtfully designed and well-sealed, which shows great attention to detail. I've heard their handmade blood sausage is amazing too--saving that for next time. Great flavor, clean space, and excellent value. Will definitely return! read more

If you want food that tastes like it was made by a Korean auntie in her own kitchen--with patience, care, and generations of tradition--then you've found your place. The heart of this restaurant is in its soups. Let me be clear: each bowl is slow-cooked for hours. You can taste it in every spoonful--the broth is rich, deep, and incredibly hearty. It doesn't just warm your stomach; it feels like a hug from the inside. We ordered the , and it was a revelation. The (blood sausage) is perfectly chewy, comforting flavor that pairs beautifully with the robust broth. This isn't an intimidating dish--it's homey, satisfying, and truly authentic. The overall feeling here is traditional and warm. No loud music, no distracting décor--just simple tables and the incredible aroma of slow-simmered soups. You really feel like the food was cooked with heart. If you've been wanting to try real Korean blood sausage soup, this is the spot. It's the kind of meal that stays with you, the kind you crave on a rainy day. I left feeling nourished, happy, and already planning my next visit. read more

I am so happy I found this place!! It's at the corner of a small plaza but plenty of parking if you go before dinner time. The service is super fast and kind,, with the servers very attentive and ready to take your orders. The tables are usually a 4 seater and huge. They start off by giving you the essential side dishes which are delish!! every single one of them hit!!! We got the original soondae soup which is pretty equivalent to something you would have in Korea. It reminded me of home, which is awesome. The Hinoki Steam Set comes with SO MUCH MEAT and mushroom/veggies it's a great deal. That set is probably good for 2-3 people. If you're looking to take your parents out for lunch or dinner, or just a friend catch up with drinks, this is the perfect spot for you. Casual and traditional Korean food at its finest!! read more

Whenever I go to a soondae restaurant, I always order the soondae soup and make sure to ask for "soondae only." For those who aren't familiar, soondae (or sundae) is a type of Korean sausage made mainly with pork blood, cellophane noodles, and glutinous rice. If you don't ask for "only soondae," the soup usually comes with other pork offal/organs (heart, liver, intestines, etc.). Some people love that variety, but not my preference. What I really enjoy is the broth -- rich, flavorful, and loaded with protein. It reminds me of sulungtang broth but, depending on the restaurant, even better. Alongside the broth, the soondae itself is solid and satisfying. The side dishes here were also fresh and good quality (see pics). This restaurant is fairly new (maybe about a year old?) and tucked into a small plaza on a corner, so it's easy to miss. Parking can be a hassle since the lot is cramped with multiple businesses, but I've never had to wait more than 3-5 minutes for a spot. Inside, the restaurant is clean and comfortable, making it a good choice whether you're eating solo, with family, or in a small group. Soondae soup is also one of those go-to dishes if you're hungover or feel like you're coming down with something -- it's hearty, comforting, and restorative. The only drawback is the price: after tax and tip, it comes out to a little over $20 per bowl. Not cheap, but with food costs rising everywhere, it's still worth it for a hearty, authentic Korean meal. I recommend! read more

They changed ownership awhile ago w/ a couple menu updates. I really enjoyed this new edition as it comes w/ big dumplings and the soup base of galbi tang. Clean, simple and comforting. Give this a try if you've tried a lot of their other soups. We love Daniel as our server along w/ the owner James. read more

Moobongri Soondae - Mandu duk guk - Soup Near Me - Artesia, California

Wow everything was outstanding. Food was amazing! Service was awesome! And entering the resturant the atmosphere was like being transported back to Korea! The soondae was soft and tasted good. The star of the meal was definitely the galbi jim. It did take a while to prepare and comes to the table with a table top burner to keep the dish warm. We had some young children at the Table so we didn't keep if on for very long but the flavor was definitely already there. The meat was tender and came off the bone. Another favorite part of the meal was the rice cake and mushroom. They absorbed all the flavor of the soup. The restaurant was empty to whole time we were there. With how good everything was here i would have expected the place be much more busier. So go check it out next time you're craving so good delicous soup. read more

I got the soondae gook and plate of soondae set. I had high expectations since this place is called moobongri soondae and it just seemed like a hole in the wall w good food. Unfortunately these expectations were not met and i was underwhelmed by the food. The soondae gook just tasted like sullungtang w few pieces of soondae. Thats it. Not much flav. I dont know if this set was worth $30 for. read more

It feels like walking into a nondescript Korean restaurant in Korea, and not necessarily in Seoul but maybe in the suburbs. Every diner was an old Korean man which you know means it's legit, perfect for the uncle's palate. This isn't clean nice urban Korean food that you'll find delicate young ladies taking neat bites of; this is soul food, food that you eat chewing with your mouth open to savor every last drop of your soup that's made out of blood and intestines, as you feel beads of sweat rolling down from the piping hot heat and bold flavors. I love it. The kimchis taste different here too, more unctuous like it's got some fish sauce in it. The grilled gobchang is definitely not something I order on the regular, much to my cardiologist's relief, as it is quite a heavy greasy meal with TONS of whole garlic cloves and onions. Every table has its own ipad for ordering, with English on it, but there are also hustling aunties busying around taking care of everyone. Come for a hearty meal with good people. read more

Moobongri Soondae - Grilled Large and Small Intestines (medium), Soodae Soup - Soup Near Me - Artesia, California

Moobongri in Cerritos/Artesia is a hidden gem for hearty Korean comfort food. The vibes are casual and homey--perfect for when you're craving something warm and satisfying. Their daily specials are seriously underrated: you can score their seafood pancake (haemul pajeon) for nearly half off, and it's crispy, packed with seafood, and not too greasy. But the dishes that keep us coming back? The GALBIJIM--braised short ribs that are melt-in-your-mouth tender, with that perfect sweet-savory glaze. I am so obsessed with the veggies and rice cakes that come with the meat too!! And the beef brisket soup (seollongtang) is rich, milky, and deeply comforting--especially when you add a little salt and green onion to taste. Portion sizes are generous, and you'll leave full, happy, and planning your next visit! read more

I loved my experience here. It was so spacious and clean! No wait at all which is crazy because as soon as I tried their kimchi I already knew it was going to be good because it tasted like spicy braised short rib and their sweet braised beef short rib was amazing! So rich and so much meat and I loved that it came with Korean sweet potato and pumpkin and rice cakes! The seasoning was perfectly sweet and savory. The beef rib soup with glass noodle was so clean and comforting perfectly how I like it and I like that it had a lot of geeen onion and jujube dates very nourishing! The seafood pancake was nice and crispy and gad a great seafood flavor to it! The workers were also nice! Great experience overall! Would definitely go again!

I've been here a few times, and I always order a (spicy) galbi jjim. It is one of my parents' favorite dishes to get at a Korean restaurant. If you don't want to wait in the super long lines for Jin Cook, Moobongri is a good alternative! I've never had to waitlist/wait for seating whenever I've gone. The only tough thing about it is that the parking can be a little tight, as the plaza is quite small and there are a few other restaurants in the same small lot. The service is super quick, you are also able to order via the tablet on the table. The table has an assortment of condiments for extra dipping needs, and all the utensils and napkins are located on the side of the table, so you don't need to call anyone if you need those things. The waiter/waitress does come to check up on you pretty often if you need anything, like more water or additional banchan. The ban chan here is also very fresh and super tasty. My favorite was the salted chives. The spicy galbi jjim was absolutely delicious. The meat was super tender, basically fall-off-the-bone tender! I also loved the veggies it was served with, especially the kabocha and the shitake mushroom. Normally, I don't really like shitake mushrooms, but the one here was absolutely delicious, and I was shocked. I ended up eating almost all of them, oops. Personally, I don't think it was too spicy, but my parents thought it had a nice kick to it. I've also had the seafood pancake, and would say it is pretty delicious too. It is crispy, and you get bits and pieces of different seafood bites. Overall would come again and try other foods, until next time, Moobongri. read more

Service is going downhill. After NUMEROUS disappointments, today was my last straw. I try to be understanding, especially when I can tell that the staff is new. I ordered white soups at around 12 PM, in-person because they weren't answering the phone. Restaurant wasn't packed, at least 3-4 empty tables. And for personal reasons (brother had wisdom teeth removed, mom is a cancer patient), and after waiting over 30 minutes, the soups came out red. When I pointed out the mistake, she tried to gaslight me and said I had ordered spicy soups. She told me "it's not even that spicy", "I should just try it" or I'd have to wait another 30 minutes for the correct order... I was shocked and left with the wrong soups because no... I wasn't waiting any longer. Never coming here again, parking is horrible anyways. read more

Wow, this is the spot for authentic Korean dishes and environment. Parking: They're located in a small plaza. Finding a spot is difficult. Highly recommend backing into a spot if you can. Ambiance/Environment: It's located in the corner. It doesn't look like much outside, but once you walk in, it's really nice and clean. They have a medium sized space with a good amount of indoor seating. I love their tables bc there's a hidden drawer filled with utensils & napkins. Service: One female server assisted us. She didn't mention her name, but she was courteous, quick, & efficient! There was a language barrier, but she knows enough to get by. You'd order via the tablet and pay at the end. Food: 1) Hinoki - This was larger than I thought! The brisket and veggies came in a Hinoki wood cooked on top of a portable butane stove. Everything inside was cooked well done. Make sure to dip this in their sauce! I paired this with white rice. It was sooo delicious! 2) Grilled large intestines and abomasum - Aka daechang and makchang in Korean. This was one of their new dishes. It was also cooked on top of a portable butane stove with a generous amount of bell peppers, onions, & garlic. The intestines were not too chewy and had lots of flavor. 3) Spicy Soondae Soup - Soondae is Korean blood sausage. It was cooked well but could use a bit more Soondae. It also contained other veggies. The soup was sooo good! It actually wasn't too spicy. Pricing: It is on the pricier end, but trust me when I say it's worth it. We enjoyed our dining experience! read more

This is Korean comfort food at its finest! If you're looking for authentic comfort food in Cerritos, then this is the spot to go to! They're known for their soondae, hearty Korean soups, and steamed meats like their brisket and pork belly. I love Korean blood sausage, and the ones they make here are homemade and super tasty. If you're not a fan, then I would recommend getting their steamed brisket which comes with some chives, beansprouts, and enoki mushrooms, where the meat is so tender. We also got one of their specials, which was a combo that included a choice of gopchang, daechang, or makchang, with a bottle of soju or beer which was such a great deal! All the meats are grilled right in front of you, and the meat soaks up so much flavor. All their banchan is fresh and made from scratch, pairing perfectly with all the meats you get here as well. I highly recommend coming here if you want delicious and authentic Korean comfort food! read more

I normally do not leave reviews, but I felt compelled to write one because it is disappointing to see the recent decline of this restaurant. While I am not a frequent customer, I used to stop by whenever I was in the area. Unfortunately, my most recent visit will likely be my last. Over the past several months, I have noticed a steady decline in both the service and the overall value relative to the price. During the promotional period around the end of last year, the restaurant offered excellent quality and great value. However, after the promotion ended and prices returned to the normal range ($17.99-$18.99), the value no longer seemed to match the cost. Even the items on the newer promotional menu appeared to contain noticeably smaller portions of meat and ingredients compared to the amount of broth provided. On my most recent visit, I ordered the pork soup (Dwaeji Gukbap). As soon as the bowl arrived, I noticed a much stronger pork odor than I had experienced on previous visits. While pork soup naturally has its own distinct aroma, this particular bowl stood out in a way that I found unpleasant and disappointing. Another issue was the tablet ordering system. One of its biggest advantages used to be the convenience of customizing orders directly through the tablet. Recently, however, many options have been marked as "sold out," forcing customers to flag down staff for simple requests. This significantly reduces the usefulness of the system and creates unnecessary inconvenience. The service during my last visit was also disappointing. During my visit, the restaurant did not appear busy, yet there was very little attentiveness from the staff. No water was brought to the table, and no one checked on the table throughout the meal to see whether anything was needed. Ironically, the quickest interaction occurred when it was time to collect payment. There was not even a simple acknowledgment or thank-you when I left the restaurant. I enjoy visiting other Moobongri locations, which makes the decline of this Cerritos location even more disappointing. There is still a lot of potential here, but improvements in customer service, food quality consistency, and overall dining room management are clearly needed. I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements, because this was once a restaurant I genuinely enjoyed visiting. read more

Moobongri Soondae is such an underrated spot! This gem is one of my favorite traditional authentic Korean restaurants I've been to. Known for their soondae, grilled intestines, braised beef short ribs and Hinoki steamed meat, I can see this place being really popular! The Hinoki steamed brisket and pork belly is prepared in the kitchen and then brought out in a cypress wood steamer to be cooked a bit more at the table. The braised beef short ribs was tender and rich in flavor, making the overall dish so good! I love the cleanliness of the restaurant, new and modern. The location shares a small parking lot with other restaurants but there are close parking spots on the street as well. Service here was amazing, super friendly and attentive. While enjoying my dinner, the staff kept checking up to make sure the brisket was getting cooked properly in the Hinoki steamer. I'll have to come back for the grilled intestines and soondae! read more

This place has lovely comfort Korean food. My server recommended the pan fried soondae, which I ordered and was very happy with it. The pan was $39.99 but it's very large and feed 3-4 people, which is a great price. I think large hot pot and dry pot are signatures here. The 1-person soup was delicious and comforting. I think seafood pancake was a bit small for $24.99 in this area, but it's also delicious. Clean restaurant and cozy vibe! read more

Free parking lot. Friendly staff. Self serve barley tea, but we were served regardless. Order with tablet in the menu.Utensils in the drawer of the table. Super attentive staff..we forgot to check the steamer box and he came to flip the meat to make sure it was cooked. Shikye for dessert! On the house. Order: seafood pancake, oxbone soup with brisket, beef bone soup, and steamed brisket with leeks, enoki mushrooms and bean sprouts. Plenty of food for 3 People. Even had left overs. I wish the steamed box cam with a variety of veggies. Like cabbage, carrots, broccoli to name a few. read more

Disclaimer: I'm only reviewing their Soondae Bokkeum. Ordered their Soondae Bokkeum for takeout and it was the worst soondae bokkeum I've ever had in my life. This dish was definitely made by someone who doesn't know what soondae bokkeum is. Why would you put Odeng (fish cake) in soondae bokkeum? Like A LOT of it. And charge $60? I'm not sure what the other menu items are like but if you want to try soondae bokkeum (it's good, you should try it. Just not here), go somewhere else. And to the owner, I sincerely suggest you take the dish out of the menu because the dish is a total disgrace to Korean cuisine. read more

Very clean and well lit Korean restaurant. The waitress was very attentive and kind. The food was a little bit of a let down. The spicy pork belly soup had a strange aftertaste. The hinoki brisket was tough and without the dipping sauce the meat and veggies were overall bland and left more to be desired. The dipping sauce was a delicious wasabi soy sauce mix that saved the brisket. The side dishes were the star of the show. Crunchy radish, nicely fermented kimchi, and super flavorful sesame oil chives. The complimentary homemade sweet rice drink was not too sweet and very delicious. read more

Terrible service and total dishonesty. We came in around 2 PM today, the restaurant was empty, and the staff ignored us from the start. We ordered through the kiosk, accidentally tapped the regular drink price instead of the clearly advertised ALL DAY soju and beer promotion at $6.99. When we got the bill we were charged regular price. So I questioned the bill. The server first said the promo was "over," then changed her story to "after 3 PM," and finally blamed us for pressing the wrong button by saying "Well, You pressed it yourself" Excuse me? Instead of taking responsibility or showing any kind of customer service, she lied, contradicted herself, and then tried to make it seem like she was doing us a favor by adjusting it "just this time." On top of that, her attitude was rude and dismissive. Walking out, the huge ALL DAY PROMOTION sign was still there. Worst experience ever--rude, dishonest, and not worth your time or money read more

My new favorite Korean restaurant! I visited for the first time last week for dinner and loved it so much that I came back again for lunch with friends this week. Highly recommend the Spicy Braised Beef Short Rib, and the Hinoki - Brisket with Veggies. Last time I visited, I tried the Sweet Braised Beef Short Rib. Both the spicy and sweet ones are incredible, but because I'm a fan of spice, my favorite is the spicy one! I really loved the flavor of the Braised Beef Short Rib. The meat was nice and tender, and the flavors of the meat, rice cakes, and mushrooms were unbeatable. Also love all the side dishes here. It's not your everyday Korean restaurant. They have unique dishes and the presentation of the food here is stunning. In addition, the service is amazing. The server checked in on the meat (for the Hinoki - Brisket with Veggies) and let us know when it was ready to eat. He was also great about checking in and making sure we had everything we needed the whole time, including water. Such an amazing Korean restaurant! I'll definitely be back again soon. read more

I recently visited Moobongri Soondae with my dad for dinner and was happy to see there's a new Korean restaurant nearby! Located on South Street and in the same plaza as Ziggle BBQ, they have a small parking lot available but it does get pretty crowded during peak hours. When you walk in the restaurant you'll notice that it's a simple but very clean interior. They give traditional Korean restaurant vibes and even have the self service utensils and napkins available on the table. They have an iPad at each table for you to place your order and the server only comes by to drop off your food. The food came out pretty quickly and also a good amount of banchan was available. My dad and I both got the spicy soondae soup and it was soo good. I loved how rich the broth was and they give you generous amounts of soondae. It tasted very fresh and filling without giving off a strong pork smell as well. Even though we got the spicy level, it wasn't too spicy, more like a mild. They also offer other menu options so I'm excited to try the rest of their dishes too! If you're in the mood for authentic Korean food, then I'd definitely recommend checking out Moobongri Soondae! read more
