    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!!

    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!

    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.

    Galbi jim. So good! The ttuk and mushroom soaked up the soup and was delicious
    Tiff W.

    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.

    Grilled Large and Small Intestines (medium), Soodae Soup
    Yena W.

    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.

    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!

    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! Sharing my experience in video form soon! Ig/tiktok/youtube: @rachiesayang

    Galbi jjim + ban chans  + seafood pancakes
    Victoria C.

    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.

    Spilled all over.

    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.

    Hinoki - brisket and veggies
    Millena P.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    I love what the new ownership has done with this familiar Korean eatery. It has been transformed…read moreinto one of the area's premier destinations for authentic Korean comfort food, embracing the traditions of slow-cooked, homestyle recipes passed down through generations. Every dish reflects a dedication to Korean culinary heritage, arriving at the table bubbling, sizzling, and steaming with irresistible aromas. Step inside and you are welcomed by the comforting scent of toasted sesame, simmering garlic, and richly fermented broths that instantly make you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and unpretentious, capturing the feeling of gathering around a family dinner table. The menu celebrates soulful Korean classics with bold fermented flavors, slow-simmered stews, casseroles, salad wrap combinations, noodle dishes, and grilled fish, alongside shareable favorites like Korean chive pancakes, seafood pancakes, and abalone porridge. Every meal begins with one of the best complimentary spreads of banchan in town. The assortment is vibrant, tangy, spicy, and refreshingly diverse, featuring dishes that are increasingly difficult to find at many Korean restaurants. Our table included a variety of namul (seasoned vegetables), steamed eggplant, creamy Korean potato salad, japchae, and wonderfully fresh kimchi. Each side dish provided its own balance of flavor and texture while perfectly complementing both steamed rice and the main courses. **Dwaeji Bossam (Steamed Pork with Napa Cabbage) + Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew) Combo, plus banchan - $45.99** The bossam showcases beautifully prepared pork belly that is incredibly moist, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth rich without any unwanted pork odor. Thin slices of pork are elegantly arranged like ribbons and served alongside an impressive assortment of accompaniments: spicy julienned radish kimchi (musaengchae), sliced raw garlic, fresh jalapeños, ssamjang (sweet and savory fermented soybean chili paste), saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp), carrot and cucumber sticks, crisp green leaf lettuce, and blanched napa cabbage for wrapping. Every condiment serves a purpose. The crunchy radish kimchi cuts through the richness of the pork with bright acidity and spice. The saeujeot delivers an intensely savory burst of umami, while the ssamjang contributes a balanced combination of sweetness, heat, and fermented depth. Wrapped together inside fresh lettuce or tender napa cabbage, every bite becomes an explosion of contrasting textures and harmonious flavors. The accompanying doenjang jjigae is equally satisfying. The fermented soybean paste creates a deep, aged savoriness that is rich yet mellow, supported by anchovy stock, garlic, and just enough heat from sliced jalapeños. A slightly thickened broth envelopes silky tofu, tender zucchini, onions, and potatoes, creating one of Korean cuisine's most comforting stews. **Eun Daegu Jorim (Braised Black Cod) - $48.99** The braised black cod is another standout. Buttery, flaky pieces of fish are gently simmered in a glossy reduction that perfectly balances savory, sweet, spicy, and umami flavors. Thick chunks of radish slowly absorb the rich braising liquid until they become almost as satisfying as the fish itself. Just before serving, the dish is finished with freshly diced green onions that contribute brightness and a subtle bite to this deeply comforting classic. Service deserves special recognition. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. My family felt immediately at ease from the moment we walked through the door. The servers anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, quietly refilling water glasses and clearing finished plates with thoughtful timing. What impressed me most was the kindness they showed my mother, treating her with genuine warmth, sincere compliments, and the type of hospitality that made us feel less like customers and more like welcomed guests in someone's home. This restaurant beautifully showcases everything that makes Korean comfort food so beloved: slow-cooked recipes made entirely from scratch, deeply flavorful stews, generous portions, exceptional banchan, and heartfelt hospitality. Between the authentic homestyle cooking, robust flavors, and caring service, it has quickly become one of the finest places in the area to experience the warmth and comfort of traditional Korean cuisine.

This location has served cold noodle soup (mulnaengmyun) all the years we have come. The most recent owner is also female, and her kitchen and front end staff are all female. By far, this serves the best cold noodle soup and thin chewy buckwheat noodles. The hot summer days certainly bring in a crowd! The side dishes or banchan change frequently, my favorites are the tomato and apple, onion and parsley plus the house made kimchi. Occasionally they have the white or non spicy kimchi which is so delicious and refreshing. We often get the combo cold noodle with beef bulgogi (thin sliced marinated beef) or kalbi (LA style short rib sliced across and marinated then grilled). Love the bossam plate :boiled pork belly served with vegetables for wrapping. Also good is the marinated chicken & veggie wraps combo. The gamjeatang or pork spare rib spicy stew if full of tender pork and stewed vegetables, that I feel is a healthy alternative to the grilled meats. The boochoo neon (I hope I spelled that correctly) or chive pancake is done so well here: tender and crispy on the edges. Great for sharing as an appetizer. They also have a barley dish that is mostly vegetarian with spicy sauce. Very glad they are open daily and until 9 pm (last call is about 830). Many families and golf buddies or business partners frequent the place. Quiet, thankfully has A/C cranked to cold most year round, so you can enjoy your meal in comfort. The manager (Joy) and servers are unfailingly quiet and priced excellent service.

I'm hoping to share and bring more attention to this place since the food is so delicious. This humble restaurant is located in a pretty empty plaza in an area of Lakewood that doesn't get a lot of traffic. Inside you'll find the sweetest couple who runs the entire operation. The husband is taking orders at the front and the wife in the back hard at work cooking delicious food. My family always gets the seafood pancake which is stuffed with seafood like clams, squid, and oysters. And the soondubu is delicious and piping hot. Our favorite has to be the teokbokki (rice cake with squid). The sauce is nice and thick, spicy, and sweet. But the rice cakes are nice and chewy. The onions, carrots and green onions stewed in the sauce is perfection. Please come and support this hole in the wall spot. I hope you enjoy this place as much as I do!

    Just had a 15-people party celebrating my birthday, everyone had a great time and enjoyed the food…read moreand service. It was nice having a party where we can share a little with others and get a chance to try some things we normally don't. The big find for me was the mackerel, it actually looked like a huge flounder, perfectly pan fried. We also ordered 2 of the seafood pancakes, they came with 8 slices each, just a perfect appetizer for 15 (and 1 left for the one who missed the party). We ordered slightly extra crispy and everyone loved it. The background music was upbeat and contemporary, I loved every song.

    We visited Jomaru thinking it's a type of one-person hotpot because of its name, but it's more like…read morea smaller-scaled BCD with $45 hot pots. Food: The soups were quite bland for our taste so we did a bit of customization with salt and pepper. Although they provided a decent amount of banchan, the proteins in their soups were pretty scarce, not worthing the $19 price tags. Their Hae Jang Guk was the only soup with the bone filled up the bowl. However, because there's no space in the small bowl, even a little nudge made its soup spilled all over my sister's body. The waitress just then gave her a bib but the damage had already been done. The Bulgogi and Katsu took the longest to come out but they were the highlights of our meal. Service: We were the only table at the time and our waitress only gave us 2 menus for a table of 6 so we had to go grab our own from other tables. She's not the friendliest and kept tossing things on our table. She also tried taking away a dipping sauce jar after I had already requested to keep it. Our water was never refilled and napkins were very skimmed out. Though she did check up on our tables, her attitude was what made us refrain from asking for help. We love to give smaller businesses a chance, but we're sad to say Jomaru is not one of them.
