    2. 감자전골 / Gamja Jeon Gol
    Sandy L.

    The best pork neck bone soup in Buena Park! The original location is in Koreatown Los Angeles. We ordered the small gamja soup and it was enough to feed 3 adults. The broth is very hearty and rich in flavor and the neck bone does not smell. After you eat everything they stir fry rice for you with the leftover broth. They are very generous with their banchan and service was superb!

    over 30 years famous gamjatang 감자탕, surprisingly many non spicy options for my toddler, amazing lunch price less than $20 with great banchan (including sausage!) Tried their gamjatang lunch deal -- only $18: 6 big pork bones + potatoes A full spread of banchan, including a unique sausage Came with my little one, so we went non-spicy. They recommended the dumpling soup and bossam, plus a super unique potato pancake -- everything was so hearty and satisfying. IG: socalhkfoodies

    I had been disappointed that there weren't many good gamjatang (pork bone soup) spots in Buena Park, so I'm really glad we tried this place a few days ago. We ordered the medium size. We have to choose between perilla leaves or napa greens, and if you want to add the other one, it's about $6 extra. We started with napa greens and later added the perilla leaves. The soup and the pork bones were both flavorful and satisfying, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. They told us they could fry rice at the end, so we didn't order rice separately. The restaurant was completely full and there was only one server working, which honestly made us feel a little bad for them. Even so, the overall service was still good, and the food tasted great. The interior was also clean and neat. One downside was the seating layout. There were too many tables, and we actually had to get up in the middle of eating so another guest could get to a center table, which was pretty uncomfortable and put a bit of a damper on the experience. Overall, the food and service were good, but the tight seating and portion size for the price were a little disappointing.

    This place is in a little strip mall, parking lot is on the smaller side, and there is a dance school, so just be a little patient, but trust me, it's worth it. Inside it was one of those comfortable small restaurants, ya know, the kind where you know you're going to get that good comfort food? Service was great, they were friendly, and even made sure that all our banchan and tea was filled. Oh, tea, that was such a great complement to the meal. It's earthy, and just bursting with flavor, no mods needed. First we ordered the Gam Ja Tang, which is the spicy pork bone soup with potatoes. This had that perfect amount of kick. The meat was so tender and amazing, then I had a potato which was just amazing together with the pork and the broth. Add a little of the sauce it comes with, *chef's kiss* Next thing up was the Maeun Sam Gyub Bulgogi, spicy pan-fried pork belly, oh my goodness, that was just so good. Getting that with a little bit of rice and maybe some of the banchan, bursting with flavor. I could go back just for this. Last thing was the Yi Meon Soo, pan fried atka mackerel. I love me some good mackerel, it was that perfect pan fry, and the butterfly on it was so great. I love me a good mackerel, and this was no exception. Overall this place is wonderful and if you love a good place for Korean Comfort food, I do highly recommend this spot.

    We had dinner here last week. There is a small parking lot available. We didn't have any trouble finding a spot. The restaurant is small and quaint. We ordered several dishes. Starting with the pan fried mackerel. Perfectly butterflied and so tasty. Next, we ordered the spicy pan-fried pork belly bulgolgi. Not super spicy but just the right amount of kick. The pork belly was so flavorful and fatty. Each piece felt like it was melting in my mouth. Last, but not least, the gam ja tang. Spicy pork bone soup with large pork bones. The broth is so spicy and comforting. The meat literally fell off the bones. A must have in any weather. The bachan is unlimited and the kimchi offerings were so good. The cucumber and daikon kimchi was so crisp and crunchy. The friendly service and wonderful comfort food will make this a place to come back to time and time again.

    Gamjagol in Buena Park is my new favorite spot for authentic Korean comfort food! Came for the weekday lunch specials (such a steal) and everything we ordered was perfection: - #9 Yi-meon Soo (pan-fried galchi) - golden, crispy, and super flaky - #18 Cheonggukjang - bold, funky, soul-warming fermented soybean stew - #21 Mug-sa-bal - chilled acorn jelly with kimchi in tangy cold broth, insanely refreshing - #23 Yachaejeon - massive veggie pancake with the crispiest edges and soft center Huge portions, endless banchan, and flavors that taste just like Korea. Service was incredibly attentive - our server was sweet, quick to refill water and sides, and always checked in with a smile. The dining room is spacious, bright, clean, and super comfortable... feels like you can actually relax and enjoy your meal. Pro tip: plenty of free parking in the back lot, so no circling the plaza stress! If you want real-deal Korean home cooking in OC, this place is a must.

    Very unsanitary. The left they Togo food on top of the trash can.

    I was highly disappointed with my visit. The overall cleanliness and food handling practices were extremely unsanitary. I watched the cashier handle money and then immediately prepare food without washing their hands. At one point, they even set the to-go order on top of a trash can. Staff were also bussing tables and then preparing food without any handwashing in between. Even if they were short staffed, safe food handling should never be compromised. It's unfortunate because their potato soup was good.

    Excellent service, friendly and courteous! Clean tables and bathroom. Excellent Gamjatang! You could choose Ugeoji or seasame leaf topping which I appreciate because I love Ugeoji. Shared with my bf, but he also wanted to get bossam and potato pancake. Which were both solid choices. Would definitely come again! I wish they had one closer to my home.

    I was seriously craving gamjatang, and this place instantly became my new favorite! We ordered the small Gamjagol, and it was more than enough to leave my husband and me completely stuffed. The amount of meat they had was surprising too! Even though we were already full, we had to order the fried rice they make afterward--and wow, it was SO good. Absolutely worth it. On top of that, the server was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot, you won't regret it!

    Great little restaurant with parking in the back. Great little side dishes and even has Korean TV playing. The worker was very nice. The Aircon is pretty strong to counteract the heat from the heat of their famous pork and potato stew.

    There's a small parking lot in the back so parking isn't too hard. We were seated pretty quickly. There's quite a few tables in the restaurant and they're very close together. Came for the gamjatang and it was soooo good. I ordered the small and it was more than enough food for me, my mom and my brother. At the end of your meal they will make fried rice for you if you ask. I also ordered the kongguksu and the portion was huge. The flavor is very bland though so you'll have to add salt. Service can be a little slow. Also most of the waitresses don't actually speak English only Korean so it can be a little bit difficult.

    fall off the bone pork!
    Rebecca C.

    If you're craving authentic Korean comfort food, Gamjagol is the place to be! We indulged in their signature Gamjatang--​a hearty pork bone soup with tender meat that falls off the bone, rich broth, and perfectly cooked potatoes. We also enjoyed the Bossam, which are pork slices boiled in a flavorful brine to perfection and served with cabbage. The combination of the tenderness of the meat and strong flavors was delightful! The generous portions and authentic flavors combined with the amazing service truly made our dining experience memorable. If you're in the Buena Park area, don't miss out on this cozy hidden gem!​

The meal starts off with lighter dishes like porridge, salad, and water kimchi to warm up your stomach. After that, a variety of starters come out including spicy beef tartare, pan-fried sliced beef, glass noodles, and a beautiful platter of nine delicacies. Everything was thoughtfully presented and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was definitely the assorted premium wagyu cuts, which are grilled to perfection over charcoal. The meat was incredibly tender, rich, and packed with flavor. Pairing it with naengmyun and soybean paste soup made the whole experience even better. What surprised me most was how many courses kept coming out throughout the meal. Even after the wagyu, they brought fried dishes, seasonal items, tricolor pancake, and dessert to finish everything off. Overall, the course felt very complete and satisfying, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. If you're looking for a more elevated Korean BBQ experience in OC, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

I had tried their weekday lunch special before on November 11th, 2025 and remembered it was really delicious. This time, my brother was curious about the lunch special and wanted to try it, so we decided to visit again. The weekday lunch special is $39 per person + tax + tip and includes braised short ribs (galbijjim), gujeolpan, bibimbap, and doenjang jjigae. The galbijjim was so tender and flavorful, and both the bibimbap and doenjang jjigae were also very delicious. However, the gujeolpan portion was noticeably smaller compared to our visit last November. Back then, there was enough for each person to have about two servings, but yesterday it was only enough for one small serving per person. The staff are usually very friendly, which I really appreciate, but yesterday it seemed very busy. They didn't check on our table and even when we asked for water, it took a while to arrive. However, the food is consistently good, and the staff are generally kind, so this is still one of my favorite Korean traditional (hanjeongsik) restaurants. cf 1) After the meal, they serve sujeonggwa as dessert, which I also enjoyed. cf 2) However, there was one issue. Before the food was served, one of the waiters (I'm not sure who) apparently placed My Mom's cell phone on top of the small plate used for sharing side dishes. I didn't see it myself because I had stepped out to use the restroom, but my Mom told me about it when I came back. Placing a cellphone on a plate meant for food is unsanitary and inappropriate. My Mom asked for the plate to be replaced, and it was changed very quickly.

We came the last hour of closing and there was still a couple of tables eating inside still.

We ended up ordering the premium gyu katsu set along with the curry pork cutlet set that comes with rice and sides along with some beer. The drinks and food came out fairly quick and were steaming hot. I like that the curry came on the side so the pork cutlet wouldn't get soggy and you could pour over as much as you want over the cutlets. The veggie sides were a nice touch and complemented the meal well. The gyu katsu didn't taste like Japan to us, but it was still good especially with the wasabi and sweet soy sauce that came with it. If I came back here, I would give the beef tongue a try along with the creamy udon because those also seemed like a favorite for customers. Service here was friendly and we were checked up on multiple times without having to flag someone down.
