    dried radish bibimbap
    Joanne L.

    Amazing hole in the wall restaurant for great Korean food with super kind and attentive owners. There's ample seating inside and the side dishes were all soooo good and not ones you find as often anymore (like japchae!). Everything seems sharing portion sized and was so good. We ordered the dried radish bibimbap and the braised cod... sooo good.... I wish I could have it for the first time again. Will definitely be back again. And again. And again.

    Please come here. Its some of the best korean food in OC. Theres a grandma who does all the cooking and everything she makes has changed my life. I truly didnt know certain korean dishes could taste this good. My whole life i thought i didnt like kalguksu, until I came here and tried her clam kalguksu. I would vouch for everything on their menu.

    Acorn noodles and bulgogi

    Kang Euni is an authentic, hole-in-a-wall kind of place. If you are in the mood for unique Korean comfort food, this place is worth checking out! Located in a small plaza in Buena Park, there's parking. Service: 7.5/10 This is a family-owned restaurant. When we arrived, only one person was working at the front. The service is a bit slow but understandable. Drinks/Food: 8/10 What really stood out to me was not the food but the unique banchan (side dishes). Most of the banchan here I have not seen at other Korean places, and they are good quality, too. We ordered the acorn noodles and the bulgogi combo , and they were good but did not impress me. I noticed that they have more unique, homey dishes that might be more worth trying. Price: 7/10 This place is a tiny bit on the pricier side for the portions.

    Korean thistle pancake. 10/10

    Kang Euni is a true hidden gem. It's a tiny spot run by a Korean ajumma who cooks like your grandma would. The side dishes were all so thoughtful, well-seasoned, and not too salty--just pure comfort. We had the cold bean noodle soup, kalguksu, and the rare Korean thistle pancake, which was incredible. Left feeling full, happy, and cared for.

    I came here for a late lunch because it was relatively close. This place is tucked away in the plaza shared with the Walmart neighborhood market. Lots of parking- no issues. This place is very traditional Korean mom and pop place. I've only seen older ajhummas and ahjusshis here lol. Food is good here, just wish they put more proteins for the price tag haha. I got the bulgogi bibimbap dolpan and it could easily serve two people. Or soup order was the galbitang with radish leaves which is very earthy if you like that. Plenty of seats, but will get noisy with the amount of old people drinking lol.

    Acorn noodles
    Grace S.

    Visited this new gem today, and honestly loved everything about it. Side dishes were delicious, not salty, not rushed, very home made. The beefs fell off the bone nicely, with no chewiness. The acorn noodle was the star of the meal today. Reminded me of the noodles I would get in Korea from local mom and pop's restaurant. Place was clean, service was nice and simple. Y'all go check it out :)

    So good side dishes are good. Everything is good

    Best in town. Homemade authentic Korean food. Highly recommend And also the owner is very kind

    Kang soybean paste (12. Strong Miso)
    Olivia Y.

    Pricy than other korean restaurants but food was good overall. Side dishes were delicious. Mung bean pancakes were crispy on the outside and soft inside. Strong miso was very salty. I understand miso is salty but like this was really salty. Strong miso had small pieces of tofu but other than that no other protein. Spicy acorn noodles were good but also pretty salty.

    Braised Mackerel with Kimchi
    Soo L.

    One of the most authentic Korean restaurants I've been to in the U.S. To start, the side dishes were super delicious and things that aren't usually served in other places. They are very hearty and delicious. I was already impressed and excited about the food! We ordered braised mackerel with kimchi and it really hit the spot like my grandma made it. The flavor was deep and rich and everything you could ask for, salty, sweet, umami, spicy, tangy, deep. It's not too overpowering either. My coworker and I did not say a single word while eating. We got another round of rice because it was that good. Also, items on the menu are priced right and pretty comparable to other Korean spots. It was hard to choose what to get because everything seemed amazing. The items offered here include what you can expect at other Korean spots, like kalbi and bulgogi. But they also have other dishes that seem more traditional, like braised or grilled fish, strong soybean stew, dried radish bibimbap... It's a bit difficult to even translate (but I just know it's gonna be legit). We see a lot of older Korean moms, grandmas, and dads at this spot so you know it's good. The owner seemed really passionate about the food too, and he was happy to see we enjoyed the meal. I am coming back here to try everything else on the menu!

    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.

Food: The soups were quite bland for our taste so we did a bit of customization with salt and pepper. Although they provided a decent amount of banchan, the proteins in their soups were pretty scarce, not worthing the $19 price tags. Their Hae Jang Guk was the only soup with the bone filled up the bowl. However, because there's no space in the small bowl, even a little nudge made its soup spilled all over my sister's body. The waitress just then gave her a bib but the damage had already been done. The Bulgogi and Katsu took the longest to come out but they were the highlights of our meal. Service: We were the only table at the time and our waitress only gave us 2 menus for a table of 6 so we had to go grab our own from other tables. She's not the friendliest and kept tossing things on our table. She also tried taking away a dipping sauce jar after I had already requested to keep it. Our water was never refilled and napkins were very skimmed out. Though she did check up on our tables, her attitude was what made us refrain from asking for help. We love to give smaller businesses a chance, but we're sad to say Jomaru is not one of them.
