Good taste on the foods and nice service. Nice parking lot! Ordered 2 JJa jang myun (black noodle) and the noodle is with good quality tention! read more

Stopped by with some friends to try out this spot that came highly recommended by a local. Overall pretty good meal! Solid jjampong, okay jjajangmyeon, and good tangsuyuk. Service was okay - a bit hard to flag down at times. Parking is available in the plaza lot and in the garage as well. The jjampong had good seafood flavor and a generous portion of seafood mix. The special jjajangmyeon sauce had a decent depth and toasty flavor but was nothing to write home about. The noodles for both jjampong and jjajangmyeon were fantastic. Two things that were not as savory- the special jjajangmyeon came with almost pure onions and then some pork chunks that ended up mostly being full pieces of fat... after my fourth chunk it was overwhelming. They also charge 50 cents to a dollar for every take out container which is a bummer. read more

Black noodles were amazing and so was the sweet and sour pork. We did the combo which was the perfect amount of food. We added the seafood medley thinking we might need another dish to share between 2 of us but it was too much food. You might want to think twice before ordering too much food as they charge for their to go containers. Who does that? That was the weirdest thing. Minus a star for that. read more

PARKING: Plenty of parking but all very tight. Just be wary of other drivers and the one way of the lot. Be careful as a lot of spots are 20 minutes only. SEATING: A bit small. There is about 7 or 8 tables, all 4 tops if I remember correctly. Got there right at opening so my friend and I were able to pick any table. We got the corner table and it was empty for awhile until noon then it filled up completely with people. SERVICE: We were greeted upon arrival. From what I gathered, it is a mom and pop shop and those were the two running FOH. My friend and I didn't need much but they only came once to take our order and give us water/utensils. All other times, we had to go to the counter to ask for stuff because they were busy with to go orders. FOOD: It came out fast!! We came here specifically for the jjajangmyeon and the tangsuyuk. The way my soul left my body with each bite, I don't think I ever had anywhere better for these noodles. Great portion size too! The tangsuyuk blew my MIND! It was nicely fried and not soggy at all. Flavorful and juicy all by itself and the sweet and sour sauce elevated it. Just wow. Wish the portion for that was bigger. Definitely would come back for those two dishes. The jjamppong was okay. Not bad but not great. Wasn't as flavorful but the seafood was plentiful. It evened out. OVERALL: Loved the food so much! If I was in the area, I would come back. Wish the lot was a bit better though. It was also strange to me that they charged for the to go boxes. A bit funny. read more

Came here because it was recommended and have to say I am disappointed. First off, there is a sign saying if you check in and give a 5 star review you get a free soda. So take the reviews with a grain of salt I guess. Jajang was okay, it lacked the smoky flavor I was looking for. The noodles were good though, they claim it's fresh and house made. They use fresh ingredients you can see the onions, cabbage, zucchini, pork belly. They didn't cut the ingredients too small so there's still a good bite. It was seasoned pretty well, but it also tasted similar to Paldo's jajangmyun if you know what I mean. 3.5/5 Tangsuyuk was underwhelming and honestly I didn't like it at all. It was dry and overdone. It was hard to chew even after you dip the sauce. There wasn't a lot of meat too, felt like eating fried dried pork jerky. I gave 1 point because the sauce was pretty good. 1/5 Also got chicken fried rice. This was good. Good smoky flavor and seasoned very well. Wish portions were bigger. Forgot to take a photo of it. 5/5 Service was friendly, and there weren't a lot of people when we were there. Maybe 3 parties total including us. Probably won't come back again even if the fried rice was really good. read more

We ordered a black bean noodle with sweet & sour pork along with chicken fried rice. The Jajang mein had great tasting home made noodles; however, the sauce was not more special than the paldo instant Jajang mein, I was expecting some grilled taste in the onions but it did not have anything unique about it. The sweet and sour pork was a bit dry and over fried, my gums were crying at the end of it and I was sharing it! The cut gum feeling lingered for several hours afterwards. The chicken fried rice, it was really good. It had the wok grilled taste and the ingredients didn't clump or fall apart easy. Much tastier and less oily than Chinese fried rices, I just wish they gave you more for the price you pay.. it's rice after all. I wouldn't make a trip out here again on purpose, but if I was in the area I would not mind getting the noodles with something else. read more

Order came fast and I daughter and I loved eating the jajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce). Will come back again when we're in town!

The Best restaurant I've been to so far! One of Gardena's hidden delicious Asian food! Their jajangmyeon is one of the top black bean noodles I've ever had. I highly recommend ordering their combo of jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) with their sweat and sour pork. 10/10 service and ambiance. Food is a guaranteed 100/10! Will be coming back:) also our server was so sweet she's amazing. read more

This small cozy restaurant has a friendly feel. Their jjampong or seafood noodle actually has crab in it which gives it the true flavor. They are a Korean Chinese restaurant and has most of the typical dishes. They also have size choices on entrees which not every place does. For example you usually have to order a family sized tangsuyuk but here they allow for a smaller portion. They are in a shopping center and at some hours parking might be tight but there's also an underground parking conveniently right below. The owner seems nice so help a small business. read more

Jin Jja Roo - Champpong (Spicy Seafood Noodle) - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

Came here because this restaurant had good reviews and I was craving black bean noodles, and it did not disappoint! We were seated immediately and the service was super quick. We got the Sweet and Sour Pork and the Black Bean Noodles. Sweet and Sour Pork - HUGE portion!!! We got the large and it was so much food. As people who eat a LOT, we could not finish it. There was a lot of breading on the pork, but also a good amount of pork too. The sauce was delicious. The hint of sour cut the fat from the fried pork. Special Black Bean Noodle - My husband loved the texture of these noodles. They were very light and delicious. I just wish there was more seafood since there wasn't a lot at all. Overall, definitely would come back here!! So delicious and BIG portions! read more

Such a humble, simple, brightly lit little spot with the best janjangmyeon I've ever had. It wasn't crowded at 6pm on a Thursday, we were greeted immediately, the friendly lady answered all questions we had. The special janjangmyeon was amazing! I can't stop thinking about it. Noodles are chewy, sauce, veggies, pork are so flavorful, fresh and overall plentiful. The regular janjangmyeon was a bit too sweet for me. Crispy sweet and sour pork was so good and paired so well with the janjangmyeon. I liked how the sauce was on the side because I really didn't need the sauce, but was good to have with every so many bites. Steamed Dumplings were also great, as well as the pickled radish and fresh onions. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back! read more

Delicious, unassuming gem, with wonderfully warm and hospitable service. The noodles were fresh and soft in both the spicy seafood soup and jiang jiang noodles. Flavors were fantastic, and portion sizes were very large and hearty. The dishes are certainly more carb heavy with a smaller amount of protein. Very reasonable and fair prices. Overall there is a somewhat more limited menu without too many standalone protein dishes (I believe there is a fried chicken dish that seems popular that is often paired with the noodles). Service was fantastic with the kindest servers and workers. Very clean restaurant interior, though it seemed that there were many more take out orders during the evening that we dined in. read more

Jin Jja Roo - Spicy seafood noodle soup (Jjambbong) and sweet and sour pork (Tangsuyuk) combo - Korean Near Me - Gardena, California

It was my first time here and was very happy with my visit! My mom and I shared the black bean noodle, sweet and sour pork, and chicken fried rice. Our favorite was the sweet and sour pork. It was lightly fried and the sauce was separate so it could stay crispy! The fried rice was also delicious, but the portion was a little small. The lady working was super sweet and came to check in on us often. Parking was easy as it's located in a plaza with both above ground and underground parking. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the mood for some yummy Korean/Chinese food! read more

I can't believe I haven't left a review for this restaurant yet! I've been going here for so long because their Korean/Chinese food is the BEST! I like to order the jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) , jjajamyeon (black bean noodle), and tang suyuk (sweet and sour pork) - it's SO hard to pick only 1 to order because they're equally delicious. You can order to go or dine-in to enjoy the comfy, authentic vibes. The ladies that work here are so friendly and welcoming , it feels like eating at home . I would highly recommend because it is my favorite Korean/Chinese food for the best taste and great value! read more

I really enjoyed their black bean noodles! The noodles in particular were perfectly cooked. They were the highlight of the meal for me. The sauce is not overpowering (i.e. too salty), but has good flavor. I also ordered the beef chow mein, which again has a more subtle and less greasy taste than other places. Finally, the dumplings were crispy, hot, and delicious. It was a great lunch. read more

What a nice service! Foods are crispy, delicious and fresh. I will definitely come back again

This place I absolutely adore. They serve, without a doubt, some of the best ganbbunggi, tangsuyuk, and black bean noodles in town. What really stands out is how thoughtfully the food is prepared, starting with the freshness of the ingredients. I was genuinely impressed by how fresh the shrimp and other seafood tasted. The jjampong even came with a crab leg, which was such a nice and unexpected touch that elevated the entire dish. The fried items were executed perfectly, not soggy at all. Crispy on the outside with that ideal chewy texture inside that you hope for but rarely get. Overall, every dish felt intentional and well-crafted. I highly recommend this spot to anyone craving high-quality Korean-Chinese cuisine. read more

Always the best jjajangmyeon and a free soda if you check in with yelp. Very kind staff

This is a great hole-in-the-wall spot with authentic food, not too busy, and decent parking. We ordered the black bean noodles, spicy seafood noodle soup, and fried pork. The noodles in both dishes had a great texture, just the right elasticity, and a good mouthful. The black bean noodles weren't too salty, with a meaty, savory sauce that had nice umami. The spicy seafood noodle soup was flavorful with a good kick of spice. Some seafood bits were a little chewy, but the broth was solid. The fried pork was lightly fried, sweet, and paired well with the sauce. The sides (pickled daikon and onion) were fine and worked with the meal. Service was good, nothing to complain about. You pay at the counter. Value-wise, we'd give it a 4/5. Portions were big, but it was a bit much for two people, and we couldn't finish everything. Total was around $50, tax and tip included. read more

Black bean noodles are so delicious! They packed them perfectly for the car ride home. Extra plus was they came with directions on how to prepare them should they get cold- I had several stops before I got them home so this extra plug was highly appreciated! I tossed some broccolini and shrimp in them- I Probably could've ordered them like that but I didn't think about it till I got home. read more
