Super fast service and great food. After trying cold noodle in Seoul I been looking for a legit place in California. Everyone pointed me to this spot. I couldn't decide which cold noodle to get so our waitress said she would give me both so I could try them. Spicy cold noodle: 5/5 delicious and lots of flavor. Not too spicy. Cold noodle soup: although it took a little getting used to dipping cold broth, it was tasty. The spicy version had a lot of flavor. Kalbi: meat flavor was ok. Bibimbap: group seemed to like the stone pot hot one over the cold version. Big portions! Seafood tofu soup: daughter enjoyed it. Galbitang: this was good too. Banchans: plentiful and yummy

It's nice that they cook everything for you so that it's perfect every time! The servers were always so attentive even when cooking at many different tables. The pork here was incredible. I really didn't expect much and was totally blown away! The quality was amazing and every bite was filled with so much flavor. I loved the many different ways the meat could be enjoyed! My favorites were the salt, garlic oil salt, and wasabi, but I truly loved them all. There many different options and so much variety that I never got sick of the meat. The kimchi tofu stew was also a great addition and had meat in it too, which made it so hearty and rich. I would definitely come here again!

Cozy, korean comfort food. Not necessarily a hole in the wall, but it's hidden away in the corner…read morebehind the Grams. The servers are aunties that won't check on you after every bite but will come over the second you raise your hand. I took my mom for lunch and we dug in a little too quick - photos were snapped after we've made a small dent on the food. We got the Seolleongtang and soondae platter which was plenty to share between two people. We ended up taking half of the soondae platter home and enjoying it for breakfast the day after. For those not familiar with Seolleongtang, the soup comes out very basic. You're given a bucket of scallions, a little pot of salt, and shaker of ground pepper to season the broth as you please. I recommend adding a few spoonfuls of the radish kimchi sauce. Speaking of the banchan, Jong Ro prepares some of the freshest and most flavorful banchans on the street. I wish they offered a menu option that was just a bowl of rice and bottomless banchan. The soondae was perfectly springy, paired with a salted shrimp sauce and flavored salt dip. The platter also came with boiled (or steamed?) pork belly, pig ear, and other pork innards that were nicely cooked. I love restaurants like this because they are simply good at what they do. Nothing is over-the-top. There is always a constant stream of customers. The times I've gone have been during your typical slow hours and the place was always 60% full. I imagine the house is full during dinner time or on weekends and rightfully so. Definitely stop by if you're looking for a heartwarming and belly filling comfort meal.

HUGE props to Ian for holding down the FOH fort solo on a slammed Friday night. He handled all the tables and the 8+ groups waiting with such grace and genuine care, showing just the right amount of urgency to indicate the patrons were the priority. He anticipated when the tables might need refills or extra napkins, never flinching when it seemed as though everyone wanted something broiled table side, all while juggling the scorching dishes the kitchen crew cranked out with ease. Ian very easily tipped this review into five star territory with his hard work! We ordered the chicken katsu and the bibimbap for the two of us, but really want to try the short ribs and cheese, and the bibimyun. The crowds were a diverse mix of Korean elders, young college kids, and neighborhood folks - all signs that the food speaks for itself. If you're looking for quality Korean comfort food, a simple menu, and an intimate atmosphere, this is the place for you. Oh, and the banchan choices were great for a kimchi, pickle, mac salad lover like me!

I went to Dawa Kitchen a few years ago with my younger sister and dad, and I'm glad this place is…read morestill in business and that their portion sizes are still incredibly massive! We ordered the chicken katsu curry, beef soup (galbi tang with glass noodles), and dawa chicken. All three dishes were shared family style and we had a good amount of chicken katsu curry to take home as leftovers for my friend's partner to eat for his dinner. Can you believe that a group of seven women only had to pay $71.86 total (including tax and the automatic gratuity for our party size that was 5+ people) for that much food? We each paid $10.27 for our portion and that's highway robbery in this economy. In terms of customer service, I'll say that our server was incredibly friendly when he was present, but he admittedly came by literally only three times during our visit: when we had to dramatically flag him down to order, when he dropped off our food when it was ready, and when we had to flag him down to pay for our check. I'm so glad they had a handheld terminal for us to use for checkout because we might have passed out from heat stroke if we waited any longer, lol. There are always trade-offs in this life, I suppose. We'll be back soon!

I got the combo A which included your choice of tteobeokki along with the tempura set and a drink. This was delicious, I got it with their signature giant tteobeokki. They were massive but super chewy, soft, and went so well with the sauce. The sauce was amazing, it was so decadent, rich and fatty. The tempura also went great with the sauce, both the dumpling and the roll tempura has vermicelli filling which I found interesting and delicious.

When I received my food 45 minutes later, it was the complete wrong order. I received a rose tteokbokki with ssal tteok. I mentioned this to the kind lady behind the counter and she remade my food. However, when I got the freshly made dish, it was still the wrong order. She remade the dish with garaetteok but it was still rose, and not the grandma style. As it was approaching a whole hour since ordering, I just accepted the food, even though I tried to explain to her that what I received was the wrong order. She told me that what I got was the grandma tteokbokki, which the dish was not since it was creamy and had sausage and bacon. I would have asked for another remake, but she had posted a sign that said the restaurant closes at 1:30pm, and it was shortly after that time. I was hoping to have a good time here since the reviews are great, but this experience makes me apprehensive to give the place a try again.

My friend and I picked from the lunch menu and $16.99 was a good price! More than enough food along with the banchan. The thing to remember is parking is located behind the restaurant.

We stumbled upon Gam Ja Tang house around 9pm since it was one of the only restaurants open late…read more We ordered the Gam Ja Tang, spicy stir fried squid, and seafood pancake. I'm not sure if it was because we arrived later in the night but our server seemed to rush us to order and was constantly calling someone on the phone. Regardless, he was still nice during our interactions. The Gam Ja Tang was great and the pork was so decadent. For $12 it's a great meal to share between two people. The spicy stir fried squid was also really great as well. The seafood pancake however wasn't as crispy as we wanted it to be and it actually fell apart every time we tried picking it up. Flavor wise it was good but the lack of crunch was disappointing. Overall, I'd say this place is a good option for a late night meal. It's not premium service but it's a cozy place for comfort K-food.

It's your typical mom and pop shop and I'm glad I came. Restroom is clean. It's handicap accessible with the space they provide. As I mentioned before I got the raw marinated crab and it comes in three sizes; small, medium, and large. My group chose a small because we were getting army stew and that's already filling. The raw marinated crab is spicy so it has that kick to it. It was juicy and tasty. The army stew if filled with spam, sausage, and a little bit of instant noodle so it's sodium filled meal. The stew was okay; nothing special except being served by a nice older lady. Soup was delicious though but have to stop myself because of the sodium. You'll be drinking lots of water but that's how it is with raw marinated crabs and army stew.
