    Best place to grab quality Korean food that's open 24/7! I really enjoyed the food here. Everything was really good and I thought the quality of the meat was great. We ordered #21 Won Gi Soo Yook (Vitality Plate with Soup) and it was so much food. It came with beef short rib, oxtail, cheek meat, knee, tripe, honeycomb, and vegetables (INCLUDING MUSHROOMS). I liked that the food came on a little portable gas stove so everything stayed hot while we ate. The purple rice was really good too. This dish is easily big enough for 4 people to share. We had it with the Korean beers (Cass and Terra--one beer is lighter while the other is darker), and it went really well with the food. The side dishes were also really good, especially the kimchi; it's one of the best kimchis I've had so far actually. The restaurant is pretty spacious, but it was packed when we went. I also really liked the music they were playing. They had Korean music mixed with relaxing English songs, which made the atmosphere really nice. Our server Judy was also amazing. She was super attentive and kept checking on us to make sure everything was good. Really appreciated the service. Their restrooms are clean. There's a big, free parking lot shared with many other businesses. Overall, I was really happy with everything we ordered. Good food, good portions, great quality, and great service. This place reminded me of my Korea trip. Definitely coming back again!

    First time trying Sun Nong Dan that wasn't in K-town. Went in a Saturday night around 7:30pm and waited for about 10-15 min and sat right away. They were able to keep the consistency of their sulung tang and galbi jjim! This was the first time we also ordered the mul mandu and will have to start adding this to the rotation. So flavorful and different texture and elements from the soup and stew. Good job SGV! And shout out to Roy and Alex for taking care of us for the night! Also playing BlackPink all night for the blinks Anniversary !

    Want Korean at 4 in the morning? You bet! Stopped here for breakfast before catching our flight, and I'm really glad we did. They have breakfast specials for only $12.99, which is a tremendous deal. The service was awesome. Our food came out fast, and they kept checking on us to make sure we had plenty of banchan and hot tea without us having to ask. Tables were clean and welcoming dining area. Our group ordered the Three Meat Deluxe Monster Platter, and wow... the meat was ridiculously tender. The beef back ribs practically fell off the bone, the oxtail was packed with flavor, and the short ribs were some of the best I've had. Everything was cooked perfectly. As a bonus, we had rice cakes added in too! This place is definitely bookmarked for future trips to the LA area. I also found out they have multiple locations, which makes it even better. Looking forward to coming back!

    This place was BUSY but it was worth the wait!! We were a group of 5 and we had enough time (during a Friday night dinner rush) to head to the cafe next door for drinks before we were called in. Service was surprisingly speedy given how busy it was, and we got refills on everything we asked for. The banchan were delicious so I was eager for the main dish (we got the medium galbi jjim special to share). It was GOOD, and I enjoyed the flavorful meat. I'm not sure what it was about it but something felt a little lacking - perhaps not as much cheese as I expected, especially since you have to pay extra for it. Otherwise, we left very satisfied! And it's always fun seeing blowtorches!

    We ordered one Beef Bone Broth with Brisket and one large Galbi Tang for a family of five, and we were all completely stuffed with plenty left over for at least two more meals. The portion sizes here are massive and definitely worth sharing. The bone broth was lightly seasoned, which I actually appreciated since it allowed us to customize the flavor. Adding a little salt and black pepper gave the soup more depth and really brought everything together. This is one of my absolute favorite Korean comfort foods, and I think this location does it perfectly. They also offer one complimentary soup refill, with additional refills available for $4. Parking was easy with plenty of spaces in the structure. Overall, a great spot for a hearty, satisfying meal with generous portions and delicious, comforting flavors.

    The galbi jim is really good! The cheese is must add and the sauce is not too spicy for mild. Our server Jenny was really nice and attentive! She even did a cool trick with the soju when we ordered!!

    Went in for dinner and it was very busy inside on a Friday night. Servers were busy handling other customers so it took a while for them to get our order but they were quick with giving us banchan to start off. It was well lit inside and overall clean with staff who were quick with cleanliness and service. I ordered the Ox Tail Soup and I love how it's not too salty to begin with. Adjusted the salt and pepper to my liking. The oxtail meat came in a variety of sizes and they fell right off the bone. The kimchi and pickled radish was fresh and wasn't too spicy maybe with a little kick but well made overall. Overall refreshing, delicious, and fun to eat too. 10/10

    Came here solo at almost 12am and it was still popping on a Saturday. I had to wait for 20-30 mins and it seems that there were not enough staff to handle the crowd. I ordered the beef soup with dried cabbage and I never had this back in the Bay Area. I think the dried cabbage taste was a bit overpowering(100%my personal preference) so if I come next time I'll try their other dishes. This place is very spacious and staff tried their best. I noticed there was water dripping from the pipe on the ceiling and somehow no one (or seem not to)give a damn about it haha!

    Came by again for a weekday night dinner with the family! When we entered our party was already seated in the back, but there was some people hanging around the entrance. We were a big crowd so had to split our large orders to one per table, it was a bit unusual in terms of timing as half our table ordered first and got rice first but we got our orders at the same time except rice was late (after the fire show). It didn't look super busy, they have plenty of tables available despite people waiting in the front, we came for a 5:30pm dinner so only a couple tables were full, however, we had to continuously flag someone to help us. At 6:30pm when the crowd really picked up, service was harder to get. The food was just as delicious, our side ordered nonspicy but somehow my kid found a few beef pieces spit as there was red pepper flakes, I don't remember it being on the nonspicy version. The banchan and rice were great with the meat, I think the nonspicy is much sweeter but I can taste the beef and sauce more since with the spicy version all I feel is pain. Overall, it was a nice dinner, we did have to ask a few times for more drinks and our other tables rice which not sure if they forgot or they took that long.

    Mini company event brought me here on a lunch on a Friday and this place continues to not disappoint. We ordered the galbi jim with extra rice cakes and cheese and 7 individual soup orders along with some dumplings. Personally a regular, now the co-workers were all new and never been here before are already talking about coming back lol. Galbi Jim - still amazing, ordered at level one spice, groundbreaking portion as usual and everything was fresh, tender, and bursting with flavor. I personally ordered the Teuk Galbi something soup and with a bit of sesame sauce and salt was a meal in itself. Soup broth is just right hiding the rice noodles, an assortment of onions and tender mouthwatering slabs of rib. The ambiance in here is lively and moderately loud when it's a full house. Ample seating - never have to wait too long and tons of parking. Our server that greeted and took care of us was Alex this run. Alex treated our group like VIPs and just earn this place 5 new regulars as my group was expressing regret not coming here sooner. Alex made the entire experience smooth like a mini vacation rather than just any old restaurant. Will be coming back for lunch also from now on. Other mentions of insane service include Vic ultra friendly and knows exactly what I'm going to order now - my favorite insomnia visits, Ted, Senna(sp?), and Wang. All of them remember us, give us the VIP treatment turning this restaurant into something I look forward to. What's crazy is I see them taking care of everyone around us with equal passion. Benchmark breaking service. Continue to highly recommend this place and yes it's really 24 hours!

Additionally, the corn cheese didn't stay hot when it got to the table, and so we just ate clumps of cheese and corn. It would've been better if there was an option to keep the corn cheese on the grill so it could stay hot and cheesy. It was nice to have a self-serve area for extra side dishes like veggies and even pineapple! The restaurant itself isn't well ventilated and a bit dirty, however, I appreciated the fast service.

    For every sunrise, there is a sunset. Unfortunately, I think that Ookook is in a sunset right now…read more We haven't visited Ookook for approximately a year or so now, and the previous time we visited we were pleasantly surprised that the food was still so good and tasted great. So since we were finally back in town, we decided to stop in to one of our old favorite haunts. There were definitely some highlights, but there were other issues that made our visit come up extremely short. We were surprised that the Yelp Waitlist indicated that there was only a 5 minute wait time on the Friday before a holiday 3-day weekend. When we arrived, there definitely was no wait and a table was drawn up immediately. After we were sat, we visited the typical sides/veggies/galbi jjim bar. When fishing out the galbi jjim, I noticed that the ribs appeared to be in a very, very oily sauce. The good thing was that at least the meat it still tasted the same. I remember in times past, I used to love their fish cake banchan and would order it several times. This time, however, the fish cake was pretty bland and cut in smaller pieces, which felt very strange to me. Furthermore, the cucumber kimchi tasted sour as opposed to the slight sweetness that I've come to expect after eating at other Korean places. The mash potato was not seasoned either and some of the other banchan from the buffet bar was also just mediocre. This was the first time that we realized that the food had definitely changed at Ookook. Our first round of meat was spicy beef brisket, beef belly, and LA Galbi. The spicy beef brisket was lacking a bit in the spicy sauce and was dry due to not being fatty enough. One of the pieces of the LA galbi was fine, but the other was very fatty. Whoever cut the LA galbi did a mediocre job because small pieces of the rib bone were still stuck in the meat causing an unpleasant eating experience. Even in spite of this, the LA galbi was the best meat of the night. Our second round of meat was the marinated beef chuck, bulgogi, and more LA Galbi. Just like the first round, one of the galbi ribs was much fattier than the other and also had small bones embedded in pieces of the meat. The bulgogi was a little light, but tasted mostly like it did before, so no major complaints here. The marinated beef chuck was an interesting cut since I've never seen it served like that before, but it felt like I was eating an imitation marinated boneless short rib with a much more gamey taste. This was pretty bad. Our third round, was more LA galbi, and spicy beef belly. The ribs were both finally meaty and seemed to be cut well and to give credit the spicy beef belly actually tasted like the marinade of old. The problem is that the food here used to be extraordinary. The banchan was something we kept wanting to eat despite it being a filler. IMO, fillers being bad is indicative of a huge issue with the quality and taste of a buffet as those types of dishes are what you want your customers to focus on eating. Furthermore, the quality of the cuts of meat were some of the best and made it very easy to choose Ookook in SG rather than going all the way to K-town. It is evidently clear that something changed between either the quality of the meat, the management of the restaurant, or something else internally that is affecting the overall quality of the food at the restaurant. As for service, it was nothing short of excellent. Literally 5 stars. The front of the house does great. The wait staff was very attentive, accommodating, and very nice. It was great to see some old faces and it was definitely the best part of the experience. To my favorite waiter/waitress (unnamed in case there's blowback on this review), service has never been an issue and it's always a pleasure for the both of us to see you! Anyway, even though it might be a sunset so far, it doesn't mean that the sun doesn't eventually rise. I sincerely hope that Ookook is able to improve their food so that the quality and attention to taste comes back very soon.

Every soup I've tried has been incredibly bland and lacks the deep, rich beef or pork flavor that you would expect. There's just no depth or boldness to the broth, which is especially disappointing for a restaurant where the soup is supposed to be the main focus. I came here again today with a group of coworkers, all of whom are Korean, with the majority of us having grown up in Korea. Unfortunately, we all had the exact same reaction. None of us enjoyed the soup, and the overwhelming complaint was that everything tasted bland. Even the kimchi was disappointing. The radish kimchi lacked the crisp, crunchy texture it should have, and the regular kimchi was missing the strong, punchy flavor you would expect. The interior is also very bare-bones and feels like the restaurant was opened with the bare minimum needed to operate. That alone wouldn't bother me if the food made up for it, but unfortunately, it doesn't. It's honestly disappointing because I feel like so many Korean restaurants that open in the SGV end up falling short, and unfortunately, this place is another one that falls into that category. After multiple visits, I can't say I've had a meal here that made me want to come back.

Another thing I thought was fun - they let you play a little game to try to win a free meal. You press a button that starts a timer and then you press it again to stop it when you think it's at 92. I did not win sadly. I'll come back to try it again though! Service was great. They kept asking if we were ready to order more meat. The sauces were good. The side dishes were good. I think the salad could be less sweet. It is only a 90 minute time limit, compared to other places that let you eat for 2 hours. When I was here around 7 pm on a weekday, I was surprised to see more than half of the place empty. But then it filled up around 8-8:30pm. It seems to me that you can avoid a wait by coming early. It's also a good idea to come early because the parking lot gets full.

    We visited Bonchon San Gabriel with the kids and had a great experience! We came for their August…read moreWing Special -- 20 wings for $25 with up to 4 sauces -- which was a great deal. We also tried the Sotteok Sotteok, Seasoned Fries, Chicken Katsu, Korean Street Corn, Tteokbokki made less spicy, and Gold Dust Cheese Balls. The cheese balls were a little plain on their own, but tasted much better with the Gold Dust seasoning. I was surprised by how many Korean dishes they have beyond fried chicken, including Bibimbap, Japchae, Bulgogi, and more. The kids especially enjoyed the chicken, and they even played a little pool while we waited for our food. Another big plus is the location -- it's in a shopping center with a large parking lot and plenty of free parking, which made visiting with the kids really convenient. A fun, casual spot for a family meal with plenty of options beyond just fried chicken.

    A global K‑chicken brand that doesn't even exist in Korea -- yet has captured the world. Bonchon is…read morethe brand that introduced Korean-style seasoned fried chicken to the world before Koreans themselves could enjoy it locally. With over 400 locations across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, Bonchon has become a true global icon of the K‑Food wave. Their ultra‑crispy double‑fried chicken paired with Yangnyeom, Soy Garlic, and Korean Spicy sauces has set the worldwide standard for what K‑chicken should taste like. At the Bonchon San Gabriel location in Los Angeles, they're currently running a $1 Wing Promotion -- up to 15 wings per person for just $1 each. So I tried all three sauces: Yangnyeom, Soy Garlic, and Korean Spicy -- 15 pieces each, total 45 wings, plus three Korean-style sides: Sotteok Sotteok, Kkwabaegi, and Sweet Potato Honey Chips. Yangnyeom Wings -- perfect sweet-savory balance with impressive crispiness Soy Garlic Wings -- the classic nutty, savory flavor you can't stop eating Korean Spicy Wings -- bold, peppery heat with deep umami; a must for spice lovers Three Korean Sides ; Sotteok Sotteok -- chewy rice cakes + snappy sausage, the perfect bite between wings Kkwabaegi -- crispy outside, soft inside; a nostalgic Korean-style donut Sweet Potato Honey Chips -- sweet, crunchy, and the perfect palate reset for spicy wings Bonchon Announcement (San Gabriel + Nationwide) San Gabriel $1 Wing Promotion : Up to 15 wings per person, $1 each Nationwide Korean Crunch Seasonal Menu (~7/14) ; Pork Cheese Katsu Sandwich / Katsu Bowl K‑Chicken Sandwich Korean Cucumber Salad Seasonal menu available at participating locations nationwide
