    The food and service was the best I've ever experienced. I went with friends and they served us well. 10/10 would go again.

    Narnar ..

    가게에 들어갔을때 미소로 반겨주시는 이곳. 닭갈비와 돈까스를 시켰는데 양도 정말 푸짐하고 반찬은 하나하나 다 깔끔하고 맛이있었다. 김치는 한입 먹을때부터 칼국수가 생각이 났고 돈까스는 내 개인적인 입맛으로 요즘 먹었던 돈까스 중에 제일 맛있었다 돼지냄세 하나도 없는 꽤 두툼하지만 담백하고 정말 바삭한. 닭갈비는 양이 푸짐하고 기존에 닭갈비맛이 아닌 카레맛이 살짝나면서 엄청 부드러운 맛이고 닭냄세도 나지 않고 버섯 고구마 양배추까지 재료가 너무 신선하고 맛있었다. 전체적으로 가게도 너무 깔끔하고 음식 재료 모두 깔끔하다. 우리집이랑은 거리가 좀 있지만 또 또 오겠다! 잘 먹었습니다!

    Absolutely delicious & worth a visit! We were craving Korean food and found this spot located in a very unassuming plaza. We ordered the pork belly and galbitang, everything was flavorful & tasty. The waitress was also super friendly and helpful, really made us feel very welcomed. Really glad we decided to stop by & looking forward to trying their other dishes soon!

    Food is very fresh and tasty. The pork kimchi stew was amazing. Very hot and fresh. The banchan were also yummy. The pork cutlet was very big and the sauce it came with was also great. The service was also very nice. The grandma behind the register that helped was very very sweet. She did a phenomenal job. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also very calm and chill. I would definitely recommend this place to eat with family and friends.

    15. Marinated Beef Hot Stone Bibimbap

    I came here after looking at the yelp reviews. This place is great, I ordered a beef bibimbap and it was delicious. It had a good amount of meat, vegetables, rice, and was served with gochujang sauce too. The banchan (kimchi, potato salad, cucumber kimchi) were excellent.

    Breaking news yall! For anyone who remembers the original Tang 88...they transitioned to KFoods a few years ago and they have transitioned back to Tang 88 and brought back my much loved Galbitang! The owners have remained the same during each transitions. When we saw this pop up back on yelp, we had to come try. The food tastes just as I remembered. They probably have the best tasting Galbitang in the area. The portion is very generous too. I love their kimchi and sukju-namul. So happy to be adding this to my rotation again.

    Very good Korean food. Plenty of healthy vegetables and savory soups. Friendly customer service

    Definitely one of the best sit down korean spots you can eat. Theres a simple menu but all cooked fresh with a lot of love. Theres 4 sets of tables (not for big parties) and a bathroom. Plenty of parking as its in a shopping plaza but i recommend calling in your order whether you are sitting or togo. It's a small mom and pop so you will need to be patient to be rewarded with great taste. There are definitely other korean places to consider but considering the price, location, and authenticity you can't beat it. I highly recommend taking a cupbap to Don Knabe for scenic lunch.

    Stopped by K Food Express for takeout and tried their bibimbap along with an order of mandu. The bibimbap was definitely the highlight--great portion size for the price, and the meat was juicy, flavorful, and more generous than I expected. The mandu was decent --pretty average in terms of flavor and the filling-to-shell ratio. Still enjoyable, but I've had better from other restaurants. The staff member who helped me was friendly, and the interior looked clean with plenty of seating if you decide to dine in. The restaurant is in a small plaza, and parking wasn't an issue when I went at night. Overall, a solid spot for a quick Korean meal, especially for takeout. I'd come back again if I am in the area.

    The return of a good experience. K-Food shifted back to its original restaurant, Tang 88. Same owners, revamped menu with some shift in the menu. Single items that were in the K-Food style are in the single portions while other home style recipes are added. The price range of the singles are slightly increased, which makes sense because the prices previously stayed the same for a while. With the restaurant style, banchan (sides) have been added. I am ready to explore the entire menu.

    After getting some coffee, I needed some food. This small restaurant is located in a large plaza. There's lots of parking. I was walking around the plaza, and popped in this shop just to see what they're selling. It seems like it's a mom and pop shop. Yay to supporting small businesses! When I first entered the shop with friends, I noticed how intimate it seemed. The dining area was clean, with catchy kpop music in the background. Also, the woman was pretty patient, while we took awhile to look over the menu. The food does take awhile, since it's only the couple working. She bought out a large water bottle for the 4 of us. When the food came out, I was a bit taken back by how much food there was. I ended up taking home half of my food. I ordered the bulgogi cup-pop. I took one bite, and I could taste how fresh and authentic the food was. The food was also delicious. The lady was nice enough to bring us an extra soup, even though we only ordered 3 meals. I definitely recommend this place. Even though it's in a dead plaza, don't let that deter you from going. The service was friendly and excellent. The food is authentic and tasty, with reasonable prices.

    Tang 88 never disappoints. The foods are officially my favorite dish here. Crisp, flavorful, and perfect every time. 10/10 recommend!

    Donkatsu Cup-Bop
    Tia T.

    This place needs to be more popular!! It's located in a shopping center all the way in the back corner of a parking lot; a hidden gem. You get a lot of food for a great price and the best part? It's delicious! We always pick up a cup bop whenever we go! I love the donkatsu but the spicy pork and bulgogi are both great picks as well. We ordered the fish cake soup and the portion was HUGE. We got a big bowl of fish cake soup with tons of fish cake and yummy broth, WITH the soup that already came with our meals. It's a great place to come check out, support your local restaurants! Tip: order ahead! When we order in person, it takes about 10-15 minutes for them to make the food, so order ahead if you're in a hurry (:

It paired perfectly with the spicy radish Kim chi and the sliced pickled radish and green onions. Royal Soba w/ Perilla Seed ($17.95) Most unique soba dish I've ever had. It came with an assortment of toppings that added a lot of texture and flavor when mixed all together. The soba sauce was light, but it was packed with umami and super refreshing - perfect for a hot summer day. Overall, everything was delicious and I love the vibe of the restaurant with the BlackPink posters and KPop playing in the background. The owner and staff were friendly and attentive as well. I would come back to try their other dishes!

    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.

    There are so many Korean food choices around Cerritos and La Palma adjacent areas…read more Nearly all have a specific type of food preparation different from each other. 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.

The broth was rich, savory, and slightly spicy with that tangy kimchi flavor. The pork bone meat was sooo tender and literally fell apart! The dipping sauce made it even better too. It had a little mustardy kick that went perfectly with the pork. We also added the cheese fried rice and definitely recommend it! Crispy on the bottom, cheesy, and so flavorful from the leftover broth. The bossam was also really good! Loved the pork wrapped in napa cabbage which adds a fresh, crunchy texture to every bite. And of course, we had to get the kimbap! So delicious and the perfect bite to go with everything else. Definitely coming back when I'm craving Korean comfort food!
