We have always come as big party here! Whenever someone's birthday or something to celebrate! This is a small store with the best braised beef short ribs and soups. Very friendly service and unlimited side dishes, definitely recommend read more

We stopped by for their morning special. You can choose from 4 soups for $12.99. An incredible deal for such a filling breakfast. The deal is from 9-11am. We got the seollongtang and the pork gukbap. Both were hearty and delicious. The pork belly in the gukbap was SO tender the fat dissolves in your mouth. The bachan selection was standard, but their kimchi really stood out. It's much more flavorful than your standard restaurant or grocery store kimchi (not watery or one dimensional tasting). The inside is modest and cozy. Not tiny but not quite comfortable enough for large groups. Service was warm and welcoming. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back again. We were also pleased to learn that you can purchase a big container of their kimchi! The staff filled up a 32oz container of kimchi for us to take home, which was $8. read more

Came here with a friend and were blown away by this hole in the wall spot. The staff was incredibly kind and the service overall was phenomenal from start to finish. We got the medium spicy galbijjim to share. The meat was super tender and the dish was flavorful all around. Portions ended up being way bigger than we expected, so much that we had to take leftovers home. The owner ended up helping us repack everything since our attempt was pretty rough. He laughed at us but made sure nothing would leak in the bag before we left. It really has that mom and pop shop feel. Its pretty small and the tables are close together, but it doesnt feel cramped in a bad way, it just adds to the charm. Would definitely come back here again. read more

Wooga Sullungtang - Spicy Galbi-Jjim - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

Met a friend at the plaza and this was not the restaurant we originally picked out for lunch. But we peeked inside and looked at the menu, noted the Korean customers and decided to switch from our original meeting place, that was actually adjacent to Wooga. Good switch! We dug in so fast and I forgot to take pics. Flavorful soups, purple rice and plentiful side dishes from an attentive staff! Can't wait to go back and try more items off the menu! read more

Our favorite neighborhood sullungtang spot! It's in the corner of the Tokyo central plaza and service is always so friendly (family run). Inside is really homey with good seating. We always get the Galbitang and it always hits the spot!! Their banchan compliments really nicely and they also provide complimentary barley tea with your meal. I don't need to add any salt or pepper to the Galbitang since it's already so flavorful and naturally sweet. Comes with the choice of purple or white rice. Have yet to try oth or dishes! read more

I'm a huge fan of Korean cuisine and this place kept popping up on my homepage. It's been on my list of places to try for some time and I'm so glad I could finally make the trip out. Wooga Sullungtang is officially one of my top places to grab some ox bone soup without having to deal with a longer, traffic-ridden drive to K-Town. The broth is silky smooth, rich, soothing, and honestly tastes wonderful on its own. But of course the salt, pepper, and plate of chopped green onions really amplify and improve the overall dish. Purple rice and banchan were delicious as well. I love how thick and crunchy their radish is and I loved pouring some of those juices into my broth about halfway through finishing. Kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and fish cake were so so addicting. Service was impressively quick. I came in while the Mexico vs. South Korea World Cup was broadcasted so the energy in the restaurant and servers was ELECTRIC. I loved how the vibe of this place oozed with support and a sense of community. read more

Passed by for breakfast with the fam. Their morning specials - $12.99 for sullungtang or yukaejang and some other options is a steal. Kimchi is fresh. Portions generous with clean broth. I wish we had something like this in San Francisco. The ajumeoni running the entire restaurant was very friendly and efficient. read more

Fresh and authentic Korean food! My favorite was forsure the seafood pancake! It was full of seafood and extremely crispy. I wished it was a bigger portion though! The Sullungtang was clean tasting and warm. A great way to start the meal. We also got the cold noodles which were perfectly spicy and chewy! I really love the Banchan the most! Their japchae was really good! read more

Just so comforting, so delicious. I'm so glad that the weather is getting a little cooler because it gives me a chance to visit Wooga! The restaurant is tucked away in a corner of Pacific Square, brightly lit and super welcoming atmosphere. Paper menu/placemats are already on the table along with your cutlery. A pitcher of cold tea (I think it's buckwheat though I never asked) is brought to you. It's so refreshing! I got the #13 Pork Guk-bap with purple rice and my friend got the #20 (?) Bibimbap also with purple rice. And just look at all the beautiful banchan. I love them all. You'll experience great service when you come to Wooga. This is the kind of restaurant where you can have a favorite to order all the time or try something new. Support local, support Gardena businesses and visit Wooga Sullungtang! read more

I was sick and searching for ginseng chicken soup. Yelp brought me to Wooga! We got the #9 ginseng chicken soup, beef galbi-jjim, and oxtail soup. It came out to $157 for the 3 items, so def a bit pricey but it was a lot of food. The soup was delicious and warming. Definitely what I needed! The galbi-jjim was big enough for 3-4ppl and very flavorful. The only disappointing thing was the banchan! I don't know if it was a packaging error, but we only got kimchi, radish, and jalapeño/onions in soy sauce. They gave us a lot of each, but where was the fish cake? Potatoes? Pickled cucumbers?? I'm seeing them in the dine in photos, I hope they give them for takeout too..I'll have to ask for next time. There def will be a next time though, a solid place for warm soup and yummy meat! read more

Home-y mom and pop w/ tasty food. I like the ban chan and barley tea tooo - Galbi jjim $80.99 - perfect for 3-4 people. So yummy and perfectly seasoned and tender. The tteok was plump and oh so chewy. Carrots, onions, and potatoes were cooked through as well. would def get again - Yanji Sul lang tang $17.99 - ox bone broth could be a hit or miss because it's quite light in flavor. for me, adding just a touch of salt and lots of pepper made the broth just perfect for a rainy Friday. I didn't expect the chewy noodles but it was great along with the decent amount of meat. would get again - Bibim Naemyeon $17.99: not bad but prob wouldn't get again The auntie and uncle that clapped when I handed the check to my SO (lol) was so cute. Service was a bit slower but we didn't mind. Parking is plentiful in the plaza. SO and I would def come back!! read more

The best place for sullungtang in the south bay! This is my go to place when I want a homey, comforting meal out. Food: I always order the lean brisket sullungtang when I'm here. I love coming here, as the food is consistently great. The brisket is really tasty and they give you a good portion of it. Soup is always hot, not lukewarm which I appreciate. I genuinely think their sullungtang is the best I've had! I was really happy that this time, they had purple rice. The past few times, they only had white rice, so this was such a great change! Not sure why they were out of the purple rice for so long, but glad that it's back! Banchans are great with unlimited refills! Service: the couple that runs this restaurant are welcoming with good customer service. Parking: This place is located in a plaza, so there are a lot of parking spots available right out front which makes it convenient. Overall, if you like Korean food and sullungtang, I would definitely recommend you come here! read more

Wooga Sullungtang - Lean brisket sullungtang with purple rice - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

Wooga Sullungtang is a little mom and pop shop tucked away in the corner of a large plaza, next to a dim sum place. It's known for its ox bone soup, so I ordered it with fatty beef brisket. I appreciated also getting complementary banchan and barley tea while I waited for the soup. The ox bone soup came piping hot; the broth was comforting and clean, with plenty of beef brisket and noodles inside. However, the beef brisket was tough and dry, which wasn't very pleasant. Overall, food was decent, service a bit slow (despite few people when I went), and I recommend supporting a local business! read more

Wooga Sullungtang - Ox bone soup with fatty beef brisket and banchan - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

Amazing restaurant for Korean comfort food. Their kimchi are made in the house and super yummy! I had: 1. Ox bone soup with mixed meats (yangji, chadol, ox knee) 2. Spocy galbi-jjim - thinly sliced braised spicy beef short ribs read more

See all

TL;DR - Their galbi-jjim is amazing I always come here for their galbi-jjim. It is so FREAKING delicious! It comes out sizzling on it's own stone? plate. The meat is really tender and falls off the bone. It's savory, slightly salty, and fatty! The one they have here is meant for 2 people but if it came to it, I could eat all of it myself... without hesitation. In fact, we had to order some appetizers to ensure everyone at the table was full lol. The service is quick and friendly. The owner (older Asian guy with a lot of energy..I THINK it's the owner at least) is always there and he's very entertaining. If you add cheese to your bowl, he'll bust out his hand torch and melt it in front of you. Ambiance is on the slightly noisier end. Theres enough space in there for 10 parties or so, and they have Kpop music videos playing on their TV (so be sure to position yourself strategically at the table for optimal entertainment :D) read more

Wooga Sullungtang - Galbi-jjim - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

Typical Korean restaurant. We ordered the sullungtang as it's their signature dish. Taste wise, it wasn't bad. It wasn't great but wasn't bad. My only gripe on the soup itself was it came salted. 1 swirl of salt from the table is usually not enough salt.. but at this place, half a scoop will more be plenty. The kimchee side dishes.. kimchee and radish. Overly sweet. The sweetness from the radish should suffice but this was a tad too sweet for my taste. Service was decent. I would go back.. but def would not be my first choice read more

The restaurant feels a little run down, but that may be part of its charm. The food was clean and simple in a comforting way, like grandma's homemade cooking. If I have to say anything. The deep fried pork cutlet was a slightly overcooked and the sauce was not my favorite, but all the soups were good! What definitely stood out was the service! Our server... maybe the owner? He had such a bright, kind energy, really made it hard to criticize anything. We might stop by again if we are in the area. read more

The restaurant interior was very vibrant. It puts you at a pleasant mood while enjoying your meal. The background noise was moderate, which you could carry a conversation with your friends or family. The restaurant utilizes individual table tablet to place orders. This system is ok but lacking some features. It would be helpful that you can check to see what you have already ordered, to prevent repetitive orders. Right now, you can only check by confirming with a waitress. The service was good, they would check a d refill the side dishes and tea. The side dishes were served before the meal, there were 8 in total, which it was very proper. The main course was served within timely manner. I seafood pancake was delicious. The buck wheat cold noodle was light and perfect for a hot summer evening. The portion was just about right. The price may be slightly higher but well worth it. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. 4.8 out of 5 read more

The service here is so wonderful, the staff is super funny, attentive, and kind! 5/5 - Sullungtang, so flavorful even without seasoning! I was so impressed by the meaty flavor. It goes super well with their kimchi and radish kimchi banchan. 4/5 - Galbi Jjim, our mistake for ordering the medium spice level. It was too spicy for us, but the meat, rice cakes, and potatoes were cooked to perfection and very delicious! 5/5 - Seafood pancake, on the thicker side but full of mini seafood, crispy all on outside, and kind of crunchy like bindaetteok? 3/5 - Corn cheese, too sweet for my liking. It tasted like a lot of sugar was added. read more

My first time having stone pot Korean soup in 20 years. I definitely like it better now that I'm older and appreciate higher quality ingredients. Ox Bone Soup with brisket, and ox knee. Broth 4/5 Really light and refreshing. Was hoping the broth to be a little more on the fatty side. Definitely need to add the MSG and pepper at table side. Proteins - Plethora of lean brisket and flank. Ox knee pretty much a firmer tendon. Kind of hard to grasp with chopsticks. Glass noodles - very soft and reminded me of japchae texture. Ban Chan - Very good kimchi, daikon were crunchy, fish cake lightly coated in sesame oil. Definitely fill up on these first and you're able to take some left overs home! Output time - less than 5 minutes Would definitely be back to try out their short rib variation. read more

Wooga Sullungtang is such a fun experience and the staff is so upbeat and nice. They will for sure make you laugh and have a good time when they come to melt the cheese on your galbijjim.

First time here, great soup place. They have plenty of other Korean dishes as well. The service is great it is run by a wife and husband couple. The flavors are true to Korean traditional. The kimchi probably is imported from Korea. From the banchons to the soups to the space to the service we were highly satisfied. We ordered sullungtang and gamja-tang. Great food! Enjoy... read more

It's really sad that it has taken me so long to review this restaurant. I've enjoyed countless amazing meals at this place over the past few years. The family that owns the place is super nice and really treat you like family. The food here is the real star of the show. My go to favorites here are the banchan, I said it, it's always really good. The Galbi Jim is hands down the best I've ever had. Whether you get the spicy or soy sauce you just can't miss! Always a cool little show when they bring it out and if you get cheese then they'll melt it in front of you, cool little show... Korean Benihana! Definitely have to get corn cheese! They also have some really good beef soups I either get the dolpan or the short rib soup. read more

My fave Korean food spot in the South Bay. Owner is kind and happy and is committed to serving good Korean food. Our family has been dining year since they opened years ago. Always hits the spot and is super satisfying. Place is clean and small but not cramped. They use the space well and you will always have a comfortable dinging experience. They are known for their beef bone broth but anything they have on the menu is worth trying. read more

Good not great but hits the spot when wanting some comforting soup. Service is efficient and friendly. My mom thought the wooguhji galbi tang was a little salty. The do ga ni tang was good but a little skimpy on the protein. read more

Lunch in Gardena today. Parking: This gem is located inside Pacific Square plaza. There's a large parking lot. Finding a spot is easier on weekdays than weekends. Ambiance/Environment: They have a medium sized space with a decent amount of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. It's a very casual spot. Good for medium and small groups. Service: I didn't catch anyone's name but the male worker was courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. The female workers were quick & efficient. They do have a heavy accent, but they speak and understand enough English to get by. Foods: 1) Yangi Sullungtung - ox bone soup made with beef brisket w/ less fat. This is their specialty. The broth itself was very clean. I forgot the exact name of the oil (lol oops) that I added to give it more flavor. The noodles and beef brisket were cooked well. 2) Spicy Jjimdak - braised spicy chicken drumsticks. This was HUGE! Get your cameras ready because they torch the cheese in front of you! There was a generous amount of drumsticks! The drumsticks were coated with their special spicy sauce. Definitely flavorful. It also came with lots of chopped potatoes and carrots. 3) Korean corn cheese - Again, get your cameras ready because they also torch the cheese in front of you! The portion size was big. Can't mess up a simple dish. Pricing: Definitely worth its price. The flavors, portion sizes, and experience made it worth it. read more

I'm very glad that there's a place in Southbay to eat Galbi Jjim! It's a perfect choice for cold weather. The serving size was good for three adults and one kid. There is a variety of ban chan. It's not too loud, and the place is clean. The service was a bit slow, but maybe because they did not have enough people that day. At least the food was freshly prepared, so it came out fine! Plan to try the soups next time. read more

Not sure if we got an off night but updating my review to reflect my most recent experience. When we arrived the majority of their tables were open but they decided to seat us in the corner where we were surrounded by the few occupied tables...not too sure why that was a good idea. We did get to order quickly and food did come out hot for one of ours and lukewarm for the other. We asked for a refill on 2 of our side dishes but they forgot one then didn't return until we were basically done with our food. Not too sure if I would come again after the latest visit. read more

The hot ox bone soup was deeply comforting and came with tender brisket. I love coming here on cold evenings for a warm and simple meal.

Hole in the wall mom n pop, cozy, clean, bright, perfect for conversations. Super polite, friendly, quick. They were out of most items that i wanted to try, just went with the galbijjim. Super tender and nicely cooked but genetic americanized sauce(sweet). Rice cake and dumpling soup is fragrent, rice cake isn't soggy, dumplings taste good. Lacking broth soup though, ordered to share but only enough broth for one person. Overall not my first choice for korean food in gardena but not my last choice either. Perhaps my expectations were too high prior to visiting. read more

Came to pick up Korean food for my mom's birthday because she was craving Korean. I had the best spicy galbijim I've ever had. Like legit for a hot sec, I was thinking how are they charing $80 for this dish... I figure splurge for momma's birthday even though she wasn't even the one who ordered the signature dish. This dish was so good, I nearly forgot my troubles in life during the meal. I was so happy with money well spent. My mom was really happy with the seafood pancake and even my toddler ate baby bites off the crust. Most definitely need to come back to try their ginseng chicken soup and galbitang. Hard to not order the spicy galbijim though. read more

Value for money: 5 Cleanliness: 3 (sticky tables and floor) Food Quality: 5 Customer Service: 5 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 4 Thank you, Come Again?: 4 When you think of home-cooked Korean meals, Wooga Sullungtang truly has it all. From the delicious banchan to the comforting Kkori Gomtang (oxtail soup) and the show-stopping fire-kissed corn cheese flambé, every dish I tried was packed with flavor and authenticity. This time, I ordered the Mul Mil-Myeon a cold dish featuring thin, chewy noodles in a spicy, sour beef broth. Even though it's considered a summer dish, I love it year-round. The balance of spice and tang in the broth, paired with the perfectly chewy noodles, makes for a delicious meal. I'll be chasing for this flavor all the time now. The table and floors were a little sticky and could use a deep clean but overall, I can't wait to return for my next meal. I wish we had places like these restaurants back in my hometown. Delicious home cooked Korean food. I'm already daydreaming about what I'll order on my next visit. The Galbi-Jim looks incredible, and I can't wait to come back and try it. read more
