    Galbi
    Canary H.

    It was our first time dining at Top Sot today, and we were pleasantly surprised with numerous things. Parking is quite simple and plentiful, as this place shares its lot with other dining options and shops. We came around 1 pm on a Tuesday afternoon, and the restaurant was bustling with business. Top Sot's tables are arranged just as it would be in Korea; tablets for ordering are placed on every table and they have a drawer under the table for utensils and napkins. We checked their menu on their tablet and they had pancakes, tofu soups, bibimbap, and more. They also had a tofu soup special and a lunch special! We ordered their brisket tofu soup special which came with side dishes, rice, and protein for an extra price. We had chosen their galbi ribs. Our friends had ordered their seafood pancake and their vegetarian tofu soup. I enjoyed their galbi ribs very much! It was soft and tender. Their side dishes were wonderful! I enjoyed their deep fried eggplant and their fish cakes. I think I wasn't a fan of their tofu soup. There was a lot of soup, but not much substance in it. We la med meat, tofu, but saw a few pieces of cucumber? We just drank spicy water it felt like. I also liked that they handed a basket of blanched vegetables to go with our meal. I think this place has great potential!! It was definitely delicious and hit the spot. I'd love to come back again.

    Tofu soup and cheesy chicken
    Winny T.

    Gave this place a try as we were wanting to explore more Korean restaurants. The tables each come with tablets for ordering but a server can also come serve you. We ordered a beef tofu soup and cheesy chicken combo along with an extra bowl of rice. The food is slightly more pricier than other places we have seen but they come with different side dishes and cabbage and perilla leaves that you can use to wrap your meat and eat. Their tofu soup also tastes different when you choose their non-seafood stock. After trying it though, I prefer the seafood stock. Aside from that, the service was also very attentive and they flame the cheesy chicken in front of you too. The chicken was all around delicious. I would come back especially if you want something different than your typical Korean tofu house.

    I was in the area for a yelp event nearby and saw that this was close on my bookmarks. They have a sister branch in Buena Park. They opened recently near Pan Dumping House with a good parking lot size. I was seated quickly, they have a kiosk on each table along with a pot of hot barley tea and water bottle served quickly. I order their bbq ssam ($28.99) which is bulgogi and soondubu with banchan. I chose the seafood soondubu which has baby shrimp, mussel, and clam. Egg is $1 extra. For banchan, they had fried eggplants, sliced radish with wasabi, ssamjang, radish kimchi, stir-fried tofu, and a cilantro, onion, and tomato salad. The pork bulgogi was served on a hot cast iron plate and the rice was in a hot pot. The bulgogi was tender and not too spicy. The ssamjang has sunflower seeds and walnuts (?) in it; it's not as salty as other restaurants, goes well with the bulgogi. A little cup of sikhye (sweet rice) was served with the receipt. 10% service charge is added automatically. The staff is nice and the place is clean.

    Ordered the beef rib soup and ox bone soup to go because its one of my favorite comfort soups. It tastes very similar to Da Rae (the restaurant that was here before) good clean and authentic flavor. I will say that I feel a little cheated with the portion of meat in it. I remember getting close to 10 thin strips of brisket before and now it is more like 5 or 6 strips. We got more ribs previously as well but noticed a smaller portion as well. The banchan was really good but I wish I asked for extra because it was a pretty small portion for 2 entrees. Customer service was great, they were friendly and extremely fast. The restaurant got a face lift and there are now booths and modern lighting, calming music and baseball was on the tv. I will be back to try out the ssam bap because it seems like that is the specialty. I also noticed they have octopus and crab, yum!

    Chicken & Cheese

    Tried this new Korean spot and it did not disappoint! We ordered the Tofu Soup all day special and the chicken and cheese combination meal. The cheese on top of the chicken was torched right at the table! Both were flavorful! The banchan was also great and we were offered refills of any of the ones we wanted throughout the meal. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the meal even better. Not pictured was a sweet rice dessert drink we hadn't tried before, and it was a pleasant surprise to end the meal. Overall, great food and a great experience we'll definitely be back!

    The staff at this restaurant are absolutely lovely. I was feeling unwell, so my friend stopped by to pick up some tofu soup for me; when they heard I was sick, they prepared a truly delicious bowl of soup just for me. Thank you for everything!

    Pan chan
    Sheila M.

    The fried eggplant was definitely my favorite of the pan chan. Love that the rice had a lid. It stayed warm. The service was friendly.

    Love the side dish with nice organized
    Kitty L.

    I have eaten here a few times, it's my favorite Korean restaurant. The foods are always delicious and customer service is very friendly.

    Try this bite: take some cabbage, add bean paste, tomato, cilantro and onion mix, bulgogi and cucumber
    Melody Y.

    Every time I go to a Korean restaurant, I usually order the bulgogi and soondubu combination. When the food came out, I immediately knew it would taste different from other Korean restaurants I've been to because some of the banchan didn't look familiar, and they even served a vegetable medley, which was new to me. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it! One of the banchan was a tomato, onion, and cilantro mix that I think had yuzu, which really brightened each bite I made with cabbage, bulgogi, bean paste, and cucumbers. It was so fresh and delicious! I loved it!

    Katsu cutlet, seafood pancake, banchan, cold noodles.
    Bea M.

    Always happy to find a new local Korean restaurant to support. We ordered the katsu plate, seafood pancake, and cold noodles. The banchan tasted really fresh. Food came out fast and was tasty. We did stop in around 3ish so will have to see how the service and food is during busier times. Overall, an enjoyable meal and experience for our first time. Looking forward to trying other menu items!

Located in a plaza with plenty…read moreof parking and other food options, the restaurant is spacious, clean, and even has outdoor seating. One of the coolest touches is the large window where you can watch the staff making dumplings by hand. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. We tried the cucumber salad, Xiao Long Bao, shrimp and pork Shao Mai, beef and onion dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, and the house special fried rice. The fresh fruit teas were also delicious and incredibly refreshing. A great place to satisfy your dumpling cravings, and we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

    I was surprised by how big the portions are, like you could buy a plate of rice or noodles and…read moreeasily share it with 4 people, which justifies the price since it is a little expensive. I spent around $77 including tip which was 2 drinks, an appetizer, and 3 main plates. Actually, they don't have just a side of fried rice, so we were forced to buy it as a main plate. Everything tastes good. I just finished my leftovers and I'm already craving the noodles since they were so soft. The restaurant is clean and modern with big windows and an outdoor patio. If it weren't so hot (We came on a 100F day) it looked like a nice place to eat under the umbrellas. I accidentally spilled a jar of hot sauce which for some reason had a loose removable lid and one of the waitresses was quick to clean it up for us. She was nice about it, too, like she could've easily copped an attitude with us about it, but didn't. A man next to us said he accidentally did the same thing which makes me think they need to find a different container for that sauce. There's a huge parking lot, so that wasn't a problem. However, the area directly in front of the restaurant and the other shops near it were sectioned off with yellow caution tape for some reason and my sister said it looked like a murder scene, which made me laugh. I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case, but I don't know why they did it. The only reason I knew the restaurant was open for business was because I saw people eating inside through the windows.

The banchan was delicious and had a nice variety, including radish stem kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fish cakes, soybean paste with nuts, fried eggplant, and more. Everything tasted fresh and well made. We started with the fried dumplings, which were crispy on the outside and filled with really tasty filling. The soybean stew was packed with flavor and had potatoes, onions, and zucchini--super comforting. The short ribs were juicy and flavorful, especially with a side of rice. The pork cutlet was perfectly crispy, and the dipping sauce added just the right touch of sweetness. Even the salad was good, with a dressing that wasn't too overpowering. They serve hot barley tea and water, and you can buy canned soft drinks if you want something else. Everything we had was delicious--honestly, there wasn't anything I didn't like. Prices were fair, and the customer service was great. Our waitress checked on us several times to make sure we were good and even showed us how to make rice porridge using the hot barley tea and the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot, which ended up being really good too. The inside of the restaurant is very clean, well-lit, and has lots of natural color (tans, brown). It appears to have been recently remodeled. There is plenty of seating and open space. This restaurant is great for groups of all sizes. We'll definitely be back to try more items.

I am used to soon tofu soup having multiple levels of spiciness. Also no raw egg is offered without the soup, this I also found odd. Also, banchan was very disappointing. This is what makes the meal for me. Kimchi was not fermented enough and was a pale orange color, fishcake was not offered without you asking, there were no cucumbers, scallion pancake,seasoned bean sprouts, potatoes, or noodles. The flounder offered was very tasty but again, offered at the end of the meal when we were wrapping up. I'm used to this being offered at the beginning or during meal. I think I would only go back if they ramped up their banchan but I did ask, and they said they won't really rotate their banchan :( staff was very attentive but the food will make or break it for me. Hoping I can retry in the future once they're more established.

I didn't even bother to write a review at that time, but had submitted five photos, some good, others not, that told the tale. So this time, with some trepidation, we gave them a second chance. Glad we did. This time was different. Two dishes, the black bean ribs and the salt & pepper pork chops, turned out great. Not only did they have good flavor, both dishes were quite generous and meaty. And if we had stopped ordering right there, I wouldn't have had any reason to drop a star. It was the dim sum that almost ruined it. The siu mai (8 pcs) were small and oddly fishy tasting, lacking the traditional aromatics. One bite and I knew there was no way I would continue eating them. No reason to bring them home either. Was I willing to just throw away my $13? No. Disappointed, I bravely told the server, and then, the manager. I got a "deer in the headlights" response, followed with a "what's wrong with it" query. Awkward moment. But, minutes later, the server returned from the back kitchen, and the most miraculous, unexpected thing happened. She said they would take it off my bill! Honestly, I was not expecting any resolution. But in wisely doing this, they frankly rescued the situation and my attitude. I respected that one gracious gesture. So, while the siu mai will still never be anything I order here, there is a vast menu to explore, and a few dishes I already know will not let me down. Two of these were from our first time, the char siu baos and the shrimp with scrambled egg. These were good. That said, this is a decent business that proved they wanted my business. We will come back.

It is a good place to get take out Chinese food as you can order online and pick up. I've also dined here before and their portions are quite large. Sometimes the wait staff will take a long time to refill your water or tea but overall it has been fairly good dining experiences. They do have lunch specials during the weekdays. Tonight we got their mixed meat and shrimp over fried noodle. Absolute love this dish. Packed with flavor and not too salty. Also got their eggplant with tofu. Surprising this dish was quite delicious. Not too salty and quite savory. Totally get this again. Usually we get their eggplant with garlic sauce and it's quite filling. Too bad it doesn't come with a side of rice for to go orders. Will be back again soon!
