Found this hole in the wall tucked inside a small plaza of its own. The interior is clean with traditional Korean themed wallpaper decor. Server is super friendly and quick to service! Wrote this review after giving it 3 tries, trying almost 50% of the menu. And I have to say, each visit does NOT disappoint! The portion is HUGE and flavorful! some dishes are nostalgic and make you feel like you're eating at home with meals cooked by a Korean grandma homey vibe Hands down my favorite is their royal Galbijjim it's not spicy so even kids can enjoy it! The meat is so tender it literally is already off the bone, the pumpkin adds a nice touch of sweetness, the rice cake covered in the sauce is epic! You HAVE to come try for yourself! There's so many variety of food that you'll sure to find one that you love read more

Hangang - Royal Galbijjim - Korean Near Me - Temple City, California

Located in an obscure little plaza with plenty of parking, the restaurant was neat and clean with great service. It filled up quickly on a Saturday evening, but the relatively small number of tables and the seating arrangement was intuitive to attentive service! However, we unfortunately found the food a bit lacking. I made a reservation to try this place with my whole family for Mother's Day. We ordered the signature large pork galbi jjim, pancake platter, army stew, and dumpling rice cake soup. It was the perfect amount of food for five adults and one child. They also gave us five bowls of rice, even though we didn't really need/eat it (kind of a waste). To my surprise, the pancakes and the dumpling rice cake soup that we ordered for the child ended up being my favorites out of these dishes. The flavor of the galbi jjim was great, but it was such a shame that the marinade didn't fully get into the pork. Within that dish, the rice cakes and the outside of the meat were delicious while the inside of the meat was dry and flavorless. This might have been because the meat was too thick. The army stew flavor I found lacking, possibly because I also found their kimchi to be not salted enough. The sausages in there were flavorless. I was disappointed, since army stew is a classic that I always thought was hard to get wrong. We technically did also order a fifth dish, the bulgogi, but since they forgot the order until we asked when we were already almost done with the meal, we asked them to cancel it. Overall, it was a decent enough experience, but I probably wouldn't come back :( The price point is too expensive for the quality, and there is no shortage of good Korean food in the area. read more

Food was decent--- but price, can't be justified. Then again this is the norm these days at Korean Restaurants. I just feel... For maybe two pounds of Bones in Short Ribs in a Pot Roast Style...it dont make sense....100 a pop? You could mix your own sauce...pears, ginger, scallions, mirin, soy sauce, sugars. Gochujang...mind you I didn't even bother looking up the recipe but based on the flavor profile, I'd assume those were the core ingredients before you kind of sauteed all the beef until blood starts leaking out of the bones.... Anyways, I left the place bittersweet. On one end, I'm really full... Potato Cheese Pancake that was a cross between a hash brown, mochi, and pancake drenched in Honeycomb syrup,...and a large plate of pot roast, which felt more like a Rice Cake, Potato Carrots Medley and some bits of Beef Ribs...sauce was minimal, potatoes were on the drier side, I just don't know what to say about the Galbi dish....it felt lacking, and at that price point unless you topped it off with gold flakes white truffles, I feel if I just made an entire pot at home, my friends would be more impressed. Overall everything taste wise was a solid 7.5/10. Ban Chans were well sourced. But factor in the price, book value to product ratio, id rate the score a 6/10. Service was solid. My final thoughts, I don't know who came up with the idea such a dish should be valued at 3x...maybe Sun Nong Dan....but if you ran a central kitchen, braised your own Beef Chucks and Beef Shanks in High Pressure Pot, I think you can easily reach the same results at 1/3 the cost, more people would be able to experience it, it can be served individually rather than in a group and you reach a vast bigger audience. I don't know. Food for thought! read more

We were excited to find a place that serves a wide variety of Korean dishes. However it was a little disappointed when my dolsot bibimbop (hot plate rice) came on a cold plate. They forgot to heat up the hot plate! Other than that, the other dishes that we ordered were good. The side dishes were pretty yummy. We especially enjoyed the potato dish. Seating was a bit tight with tables next to each other. And the 4 top table is kind of small for 4 people. read more

Tried this place with the family for dinner on Tuesday night. They are pretty hidden in a small plaza. There was plenty of parking, probably because it's a weekday. It was empty when we went in. There was one employee who was very attentive and friendly. Seating is spacious and ambiance is clean and quiet. We ordered four dishes to try: -Galbi Tang ($25.99): comes with one big bone with a good amount of tender beef, savory broth, and some glass noodles at the bottom. Wish they gave a bowl of rice. 4/5 -Yangji Seolleongtang ($17.99): after adding some salt and pepper, it was perfect. Comes with some slices of brisket and glass noodles. Also wish they gave a bowl of rice. 4/5 -Bulgogi bibimbap ($21.99): comes with bulgogi, fried egg, carrots, bean sprouts, spinach, and zucchini and sesame oil and gochujang on the side. Could use some more rice and beef. 4/5 -Tonkatsu ($19.99): two cuts of chicken that could've been more crispy but their sauce was very good in a tangy way. Comes with rice, salad, and pickled radish. 4/5 Overall decent portions with yummy side dishes. They also serve iced water and hot barley tea. I would come back again! read more

While in town for a short work trip, a friend invited my wife and I for dinner at Hangang. We were able to get seated right away and it started to fill out shortly after. They have a variety of Korean dishes (soups, noodles, stews, stuff cooked a cast iron pans). The food was really good (particularly the kimchi tofu stew, the spicy squid and the soup with chicken and ginseng and herbs). We enjoyed our meal and our friend packed up leftovers. The food was pretty good, my main concern was while we were eating there was an unreasonable among of small flies/fruit flies that were flying around and flying toward and in our food. We were dining inside in an open dining area, the staff also seemed to have bug light/zappers by the front counter. It was also an exceptionally hot day that (90 degrees in the afternoon on a Friday afternoon in February), and they weren't like bigger bugs/pests so we kept on eating and completed our meal. While fruit flies aren't a big deal, I hope they improve that part and I would go again. read more

Came here to celebrate my brother's birthday with the family and we had a great experience overall. We ordered the royal galbijim, mix seolleongtang with added octopus, spicy cold noodle, and the seafood pancake. The food was honestly amazing. The flavors were rich and comforting, and the meat quality really stood out. I would even say the meat and seasoning were better than Sun Nong Dan. The royal galbijim was tender and packed with flavor. The only issue was that they forgot to include the octopus in the dish at first. When we let them know, they brought the octopus out separately, but it was just boiled. We had expected it to come back simmered together with the galbijim. It was still good, just not what we thought it would be. The mix seolleongtang had a nice, clean broth, but the meat portion was a bit sparse. We also had to ask for spring onions instead of them being provided from the start. Not a huge deal, but something to note. The spicy cold noodle was refreshing with a good kick, and the seafood pancake was crispy on the outside and soft inside, loaded with seafood. Service was amazing. The staff was attentive, friendly, and generous with the banchan refills. The ambiance is modern with nice decor, and it is quiet enough to have an easy conversation without feeling rushed or crowded. Parking is easy with a large free lot, which is always a plus in this area. Overall, despite a couple small hiccups, we had a great time and really enjoyed the food. We will definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

Normally I'll have to drive all the way to ktown for soy sauce marinated crab. I was browsing on Yelp and came across this one nearby. I made a reservation for dinner, but they weren't busy at all on a Friday night. Well lit place, plenty of tables, and parking was easy to find. It was just two people and we ordered Soy Sauce Marinated Crab and Abalone Porridge. There were noodles that came with Soy Sauce Marinated Crab. Never had it like that before but I am not complaining! Salty and meaty crabs over rice...yum! Abalone Porridge was huge. Mellow, you can taste the sesame oil. Good on a cold day. Side dishes were different and I appreciate the variety. They taste better than most common side dishes you get at other Korean restaurant in the area. I love gold utensils instead of your typical silver ones. Utensils and napkins can be found at the side of the table, just pull out the drawer. Complimentary dessert was ice cream but we were given red bean mochi? The staff said it was ice cream. Staffs are friendly and one of them helped me pack my food for to go. I would stop by again and try other dishes! read more

We got a variety of dishes. Overall everything was good. We got the Teok Mandoo Guk, Haemulpajun, royal japchae, and cold noodle soup. The dumpling for cake soup though was good but it got salty once it cooled down. The sides were wonderful. The service was excellent, the real MVP of this place. However, it dawned on me later: the food came out really fast. Not sure if it's fresh or pre-made. Up to your discretion. read more

Hangang - Tonkatsu and bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Temple City, California

Absolutely amazing Korean restaurant! The service was fast. The side dishes were mostly tasty. The kimchi was my favorite, not soggy and too bland. The pickles were a mediocre, not much flavor, compared to the kimchi. The fish cake was good, not hard, and fishy. The mashed potatoes had apples in them just like how my mom made them when I was little. The other potato was saturated with a sweet and savory sauce and was cooked through. The purple rice was a little dry. The pork came with crunchy spicy pickled radish, that was such a great combo! The meat was very tender and I could feel the collagen on my lips. The beef was also very tender and flavorful, not too sweet and had just the right amount of fat. Didn't have a chance to try the ginseng chicken broth but my nephew finished most of it so I'm assuming it was good The cold noodles had a bunch of pickled radish and some sliced meat in there, more ingredients than other Korean restaurants. Overall fairly priced and clean restaurant with friendly staff. Parking was an ease also, don't have to drive all the way to K-town anymore. Yay! read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant and servers were really nice. i would say it's a little too bright. The menu have your average common Korean comfort food that is very suitable for winter times. We had a small party so we can only try a few things. The Korean ginseng soup with rice and the bossam (boiled pork belly). However, there's definitely in need of some flavor in the food. The bossam was flavorless unless you use the miso sauce. The side dishes are also very mediocre, but I can feel they are very home-made and healthy. They will need to up their game in order to stay in the competition in this area. read more

I was craving Bossam and decided to try a new Korean spot, but we ended up loving everything except the Bossam! Don't get me wrong, it was still good, just a bit too fatty for our taste and only available in a large portion size. The real standouts were the flavorful banchan (especially the potato), the comforting galbi tang, the crispy potato cheese pancake, and the generous size bibimbap. We came early on a Wednesday evening and were the only customers, so the service was excellent. We ended up taking the leftover Bossam home, and after a quick run in the air fryer, it tasted better! Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs, we ordered four entrées to share between the two of us, but the leftovers made for two delicious extra meals. If you're looking for a place with great food, friendly service, and no crowds, Hangang is definitely worth a visit! read more

Got the seaweed soup, bogo offer from doordash. There are like literally 1 or 2 thin strands of beef in the soup. Is this a joke? The soup itself taste good. It comes with 4 banchan and rice. Packed nicely. I wonder if the lack of beef is normal or is it because of the bogo offer? I understand the soup shouldn't come with a lot of beef, but I've had seaweed soup from other place before and it's not 1 or 2 strands... read more

My sister had been raving about getting bossam for weeks now so we finally went to Hangang today for lunch. Given that it was lunchtime on a weekend, I was a bit surprised it wasn't busy. They were able to accommodate our large party easily and service was great throughout the meal. This was my first time trying bossam so I didn't know what to expect. I liked the different items the dish came with but one of the sauces was extremely salty so I ended up eating the boiled pork, cabbage, and radish on their own without the sauce. We also got the royal tteokbokki which is essentially bulgogi, rice cakes, and stir fried veggies. I feel like there wasn't a lot of meat in it compared to the amount of veggies. For the kimchi fried rice, the portion was fairly large and it also came with shrimp. As for the banchan, there were 6 different dishes. My favorites were the kimchi, bean sprouts and potato. read more

Very hidden Korean restaurant located on Rosemead, across the street from the Plaza. Its tucked in a pretty deserted lot. Lots of parking available. Ordered their yangji seolleongtang. I felt that their brisket was a bit tough and their soup was not as rich as other places. Still decent. Lots of pretty good banchans! Utensils and napkins are located in a drawer under the table. A quick and easy meal if you're in a rush and craving something hot and cozy. Spacious interior - the wall art was really nice. read more

first time here and would be coming back! we were a party a 4 and came on a saturday night (maybe around 7pm) and there were empty tables so we got seated right away. the service was great, the workers are always smiling and checking up on us. also making sure the water jug was not empty from time to time. all of our food came out at once. we ordered the dakgalbi, kimchi fried rice, seafood pancake, and spicy beef and veggie soup (yukdaejang). dakgalbi - did not expected the thin rice noodle on top and it was a bit more saucy/soupy than i had it before. flavor is delicious and the stone pot keeps it HOT. the chicken was good and it wasn't too spicy. kimchi fried rice - this was delicious! so simple and easy to eat, it had spam in there and the kimchi is really chopped up to taste big chunks of kimchi. to me, it is about medium spicy but it kicks in fast then goes away, really enjoyable. seafood pancake - probably my favorite. so crispy and a lot of seafood. the soy sauce for dipping is really delicious and great shareable appetizer for everyone. yukdaejang - the soup is rich and spicy. it hits your throat but again not too spicy where it the heat stays there. very generous with the veggies and they had some clear noodles in there as well. banchan - really yummy! i liked the potatoes the best. everyhting was enjoyable and clean atmosphere. the portions are big which explains the expensive price. read more

Bossam-4/5 This was pretty good with the salted shrimp Assorted Pancakes- 4/5 the jeons were crispy and there were diff variety to eat from. Overall this was a decent place for korean food.

Visited some friends in SGV and came over here on a Saturday for lunch. There were plenty of tables open so you most likely don't need to make a reservation ahead of time. Ordered the bibimbap which was flavorful and came with good portion of protein. My favorite though were the cold noodles. Definitely recommend ordering them over the other dishes. The sides were pretty basic. Nothing too notable but the staff were generous with refills which is always a plus. read more

Came here a couple weeks ago to celebrate my MIL bday. If you want a place that can accommodate big groups and has big portions, this is your place. First off be careful driving too quickly down Rosemead as this driveway is easily missed. Also the people who come out of this parking lot don't understand that you can't drive in the middle of the driveway when exiting. We nearly hit another car trying to turn in because they were trying to speed their way out. We had made reservations for 11 on a Friday night and hardly anyone was there. The restaurant started filling up more after we got there. The servers spoke Mandarin to some of the guests that walked in after us. The menu is a mixture of common Korean foods, Bibimap, Galbi jjim, bulgolgi, and cold noodle soups. After ordering they bring out the banchan, be careful, most of it is spicy. They definitely had some unique ones that you don't see often at other places. Like an apple/pear one that we thought was potato. Most of the food came out quite quickly after ordering. Portions are really big but doesn't mean it's tasty. We ordered the Large Galbi Jjim, Cold noodles, tonkatsu, assorted and seafood pancakes, royal tteokbokki, grilled mackeral, galbi seolleongtang. Everything was mostly bland, needed salt, or flavor. The tteokbokki was hard and tough. There was no clear description of what each assorted pancake was. The service was good. At the end of the table there is a drawer that has napkins and soup spoons. read more

Hangang - Tonkatsu - Korean Near Me - Temple City, California

Tried Hangang for the first time and really liked everything we ate, however, it still doesn't compare to our favorite Korean restaurant, Sun Nong Dan. We tried the cold noodles, the bossam, and the Bulgogi bimbimbap. Everything was really good and the portions are pretty large, however, I did feel like everything was lacking a little bit in flavor. They do give you, what I think, are the best side dish options (I love fish cake and sweet marinated potatoes). However, again, it feels like it's lacking a little in flavor. They're also really fairly priced as well and service is fantastic! read more

Hangang - Cold noodles, bossam, bulgogi bimbimbap - Korean Near Me - Temple City, California

Came here on a Tuesday night for some dinner with family since we've been wanting to try this place for a while. Its located in a small plaza that is a bit hard to see unless you look carefully when driving by. But this is the only restaurant here so there's plenty of parking. It was pretty empty when we came so we got seated right away. They have a good amount of tables and the interior is nice. Their menu is not that big so it's wasn't too hard to decide what to order. We got the Galbi Seolleongtang (25.99), Bulgogi Bibimbap (21.99), Tonkatsu (19.99), and Yangji Seolleongtang (17.99). They were served pretty quick and they also gave side dishes. The side dishes were actually pretty good and has free refills. The bibimbap was alright, tasted like other bibimbap places. The Galbi seolleongtang has two large galbi in it and the soup and meat are nicely seasoned. As for the regular seolleongtang, it is on the bland side since you need to add your own salt and pepper. It also has some vermicelli with it. But the seolleongtang was pretty mid. The tonkatsu had some good sauce on it and was crispy and not too dry or hard to chew. But I have had better tonkatsu before. The portions are all reasonable for this price and economy though and we enjoyed it. I just thought the seolleongtang would have come with rice but I guess this place doesn't do that. I think this is an authentic Korean place to try since they do have a good assortment of soups and other entres to order. The only thing was I did notice some small gnats flying around while we were eating. It wasn't a lot but it did bother me a bit. This isn't a spectacular place I would crave but it is a decent spot. read more

Their sides and banchan was amazing, love their potatoe salad and their fish cakes were nice and thick. The problem is their main food. I ordered the Galbijim with the seafood pancake and steamed egg. The steamed egg was burnt and the entire egg was smokey, not good. The seafood pancake wasn't crispy. Their galbijim, short rib was not seasoned and their sauce is super thick and dry because the potatoes were so mashed that it was a paste. I want to give it another chance, but what I ordered is so disappointing. The service and ambiance was great. It felt clean and new/pretty. read more

The mixed seolleongtang came with brisket, tongue, intestine, and tripe. It tasted clean. Service was great and the place had pretty walls! The bossam was seasoned and cooked to perfection! The banchan was great! My only complaint is how thick the pork was cut. The tiny-shrimps-sauce (saeu-jeot?) was the most peppery I've had and it was delish!! It complimented the pork and tartness of the kimchi and radish. read more

Stopped by here for some Korean food on our way back from Joshua Tree. We got some galbi tang and some mackerel. There was so much food - we could have just split the galbi tang and been totally fine, and the mackerel lasted us the entire next week. Service was great, and my partner really enjoyed the braised potato (she said it tasted like adobo, but with potato). Delicious. We came during Super Bowl Sunday, so the place was completely empty, although it filled up throughout our meal. read more

Not sure who said it, but meals are magnifiers and hosting 15 people at Hangang proved it! The food was great, but the space is built for smaller groups. We spread out over two tables and made it work. Service was a little slow -- then again, we were 15 people laughing like it was a wedding banquet. Can't blame them for hesitating. Also, I had a conscientious Accountant as a co-host who was running back and forth, making sure everyone had their fair share. Should I check this place out? Yeah, if you're down for Korean comfort food that shows up sizzling and begging for a crowd to tear into it. Seafood pancake, crispy edges, loaded with squid. Basically the definition of "why share when I could eat the whole thing myself." Then again I'm not a huge squid fan. But my guests seemed to like it! Then galbi-jjim: tender beef sliding off the bone, potatoes drinking up all the sauce, the kind of dish that makes you wish for a mountain of rice. We doubled down with the spicy version, bubbling hot, packed with chewy tteokbokki, sweat-inducing but worth it. Banchan (kimchi, macaroni salad, glass noodles) made it feel like a proper feast. My guests tore into it. Deal sealed. Parking? That's the side quest. The lot is small and fills fast, so some of my guests ended up a little further down and hoofed it over. Date spot? Nah. Unless your idea of romance is fighting over the last rib. Better for a tight crew of friends or family who don't mind elbow room. Bottom line: Hangang serves comfort food you can feel in your bones. The galbi-jjim alone could bring me back. And like I said, meals are magnifiers. The food sets the vibe, but the people (and your own energy) make the night. read more

Comprehensive menu with a little bit of everything for everyone. Different soups, cold noodles, bibimbaps, galbijjims, and pancakes. Galbitang which was as expected (slightly more peppery than expected, came pre-seasoned). Cheesy Gamja Jun was one of the pancake options. Basically a giant cheese hashbrown. It came piping hot and crispy af. But after the initial first triangle and it gets a chance to cool down and lose that crisp, it gets realllly reallllly oily, to the point I had to dab it on a napkin and the napkin was translucent. Prob will come back to try more soups and pancakes and galbi jjims. Cold noodle, there were a couple varieties, I just got the plain one. It was fine but kinda disappointed it was with generic pickled radish slices rather than pears. The egg was also super overdone and borderline sulphurous. Parking is ok, it can easily fill up but also easy to miss the entrance of the parking lot if you don't know where the restaurant is located. read more
