    Traditional Sulungtang place. They open at 7am which is a great place to come before starting your day. Food is good, along with side dishes, and pricing is fair.

    Located in the hannam chain marketplace so there's plenty of parking. I got the seolleongtang and I have to say that this place checks all the boxes for seolleongtang for me. Glass noodles, beef, good kimchi. Great for a cold day so I will be back now that it's getting colder

    After our adventure to SoFi in support of a USWNT win against Brazil, we were hungry. We didn't have a destination, so we considered all our options. Thanks to my future son in law, we found Jangmo Jip. When we walked in we noticed the place was empty. Definitely not a posh setting but clean and hospitable. We where greeted with a very big smile. I didn't get her name but I think she was the owner. We sat down and we tried to understand the menu as best we could. Ultimately I ordered based on the pictures. Damn I was not disappointed, soup was so flavorful. The pickled radish was crisp and the kimchi was great. This was a total immersive feel, we couldn't communicate fluently but one thing that for sure came across was warmth and hospitality. Definitely cant wait to bring wifey to this local find.

    I truly love finding hole in the wall places like this. My wife and I come when we're looking for some warm soup but we've tried almost everything on the menu and we are never disappointed! Seolleongtang (ox bone broth) is definitely the safe bet if you're craving some hot soup on a cold day.

    장모 집 is definitely a hidden gem to anyone who isn't korean, prolly cause the menu is all in korean lol. restaurant has cozy + homey vibes, especially cause of the comforting broth cooking in the kitchen. the ladies that work there so so kind and treat you like they're your own :) - sul lung tang (5/5): rich & creamy HOT broth. love throwing in hella green onions + some salt. such a simple dish but it's delicious & filling. pair a spoonful with some banchan (side dishes) and it'll be FIRE. only 3 banchans but that's all you need. they also serve a complimentary sweet rice drink that's refreshing after your meal! sweet treat after a savory meal hehe jangmo jip is the place to visit if you're looking for authentic korean comfort food (that's also affordable) or if your need a cure for a hangover lol.

    Very well-rounded experience here! It was a cold and foggy morning and I happened to have the day off so I decided to venture out for breakfast. I really wanted some soup but the only appealing variety was Korean. Wasn't feeling optimistic til I went on yelp and saw there was a Korean restaurant open early! Parking is ample but there is construction going on so at first glance it may seem closed. The woman who was there this morning was very kind and helpful. I'm half Korean but don't speak it so it's very helpful (and appreciated!) when someone can speak good English like she did. I got the straight forward beef soup and there are two noodle selections (flour or sweet potato). The food came out so fast! The interior of the place is no frills but everything seemed very clean. The soup was still hot by the time I got home and I was happy to see I had my soup, noodles, rice, seasonings, green onion and two generous portions of kimchi (radish and cabbage). I am not sure if they serve banchan when you dine in but this was plenty. The soup was fantastic and quite soothing and the kimchi (like another yelper mentioned) is fire! I'm picky with kimchi because I hate tasting the shrimp or seafood flavor and neither of these had that going on. The soup was about $16 or so and I only ate half so $8 per home cooked meal isn't bad at all! I may have to dine in one of these days but great experience ordering out (and they take Apple Pay!) All in all great experience all around

    Delicious even if you order the food for takeout. I do love me some offal or internal organ meats in the beef broth: seokeo sulrungtang is my go to dish. The lady serving me is always very efficient, quick and friendly . Remember to add your salt and green onions to taste. The milky broth is purposely bland but so very satisfying especially on a cold night. Banchan always delicious but there is a sign that says they cannot be taken home! I think that's if you are packing up leftovers because they always send it in small containers. Quiet and usual customers are family members eating together.

    Nice service from the Korean ajumma. We ordered the #1 sullungtang on the menu on the wall, and it was $14.99. I got the #2 haejangguk which was $15.99. We also ordered the rice cake and dumpling soup that was $16.99 (?). If you're in the La Palma area, I recommend. There's a Korean market in the same plaza and a bakery, so you can get groceries afterwards. The soups taste like home. The kimchi and radish kimchi are so good, too. Fresh. Cute Korean decor inside as well.

    Korean beef spicy soup

    I've been coming here with my parents for over 30 years, and it's still one of the best spots for Korean comfort food in OC. The broth, meat, and rice are always fresh--never once disappointed in terms of consistency, service, or cleanliness. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

    Menu as of November 2025

    This place has been around for at least 20 years. They serve authentic Korean bone broth soup which always hits the spot, the server ladies are always prompt and sweet, and great for takeouts as well.

The entrees we tried were - tteokgalbi: it was okay, could've been grilled a little longer - gamja tang (regular spicy): the taste lacked a bit of a kick, but it came with plenty of meat and vegetables - galbi tang : the soup was very savory and there was plenty of beef! :)

The portion was comical, filling up maybe 1/3 of the giant white bowl. There were hardly any toppings on there. The cheese was literally a strip. I know this place isn't Yupddeok but they do a whole swirl on the bowl there. Yikes. And the chicken was... mediocre at best. Very anorexic chicken. And they wanted to charge an extra $2 for sauce. Yeah, we left hungry and unhappy. My sister talked about getting McDonald's on the way home. My husband said we should've gone to Chili's. Next time, we'll make the drive to Yukddeok for tteokbokki. Service was good though, our server was very sweet. I wish I got his name but he was working the evening shift and had black hair and a black t-shirt with Gengar on it. He's the only reason the review got two stars instead of one.

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 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.

They had a line and I was tempted to go but I wanted traditional Korean food instead of pocha style food. It was kind of quiet around 5:30 but by the time I left most tables were filled up--some people eating solo. My honest take of the food is it's like someone's grandparents made it. I'm not Korean so I appreciate the food. It tasted decent but not made with love and that's the difference. You can kind of tell the workers felt rushed or a bit overwhelmed when people started rolling in. Not the friendliest which doesn't matter too much to me, but it's reflected in the food. Tofu soup with the bone in meat was okay. Meat was good (+$4) but the soup was not boiling hot like I saw other soups come out so overall I'd say it's okay. It had a hard time boiling my egg when I dropped it in. The combo I got came with galbi which was decent. Seafood pancake was decent, could have been crispier. The fish I got on the menu right under mackerel, forgot the name but I wouldn't order it again. Felt kind of dry to me. While I don't regret going I left feeling like I won't be back again.
