They served a hot barley combined with corn tea and it was delicious. Side dishes were actually pretty decent and I loved their odeng dish they had some gochujang flavoring. The soft tofu soup came out piping hot and spicy was actually pretty spicy which I loved. Flavor wise, the soup was just okay and I wouldn't get it again. My mother's gamgytang was huge and tasted great but they do seem to use a lot of msg as the broth was pretty salty. Chicken was cooked super tender and tasted really good. This is something I would recommend but you could probably add in more rice into the soup to help with the saltiness

I was looking for Korean food & found this hidden gem. They have AMAZING food! The portions are…read moregreat & fairly inexpensive. Extensive menu, lots of options to choose from. The staff were super friendly & the service was unexpectedly QUICK. Chicken Katsu Curry: the chicken was crisped to perfection. the whole dish was extremely rich & flavorful. I was expecting more curry but it didn't ruin the dish. Bulgogi Gimbap: HUGE gimbap roll! the veggies tasted fresh & the bulgogi was seasoned well, a nice hint of spice. asked for a side of sriracha on the side & it really elevated the flavor (super spicy!). extremely filling & dangerously delicious. I wish more people knew about this place. It is truly a hidden gem. I will definitely be returning to try more menu items. If you're in the mood for good Korean food, COME HERE. Thank you Seoul 1979 Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Overall: 10/10

My friends and I finally got to try Seoul 1979…read more Heads up, they close on Tuesdays ): They have classic Korean street foods, Gimbap, katsu, curry, sushi, appetizers, and more! Here's what we tried and my rating of them: Seoul 1979 Gimbap (9/10) Fire Pork Gimbap (10/10) Teokkbokki (10/10) Sotteok-Sotteok (8/10) Chicken Katsu with curry (10/10) Pork Katsu with Curry (9/10) The Seoul 1979 Gimbap has fish ham, pickle radish, cucumber, carrot, burdock, and egg. The Fire Pork Gimbap has spicy pork, pickle radish, cucumber, carrot, burdock, and egg. The Teokbokki has rice cake, fish cake, cabbage, green onion, and a boiled egg. The Sotteok-Sotteok is a skewered treat with sausage and crispy rice cake alternating with a few sauces. The chicken katsu was perfectly fried, nicely crispy, with the chicken being tender and juicy. The pork katsu was also perfectly fried and crispy. The curries came with the katsu plates and was delicious. Everything was really good and service was friendly. It's a small shop with about 6 tables that can seat 4 people at each. Cozy vibes, simple and aesthetic decor, and really yummy food.

The place always looks busy on the weekends...it took around 15 minutes for us to be seated. But…read moreafter that, everything was just smooth sailing all the way. The staff were responsive and was always around to take our orders, refill drinks or simply answer questions you may have. Tables were promptly cleared and made available for the next set of guests. The food was great! The staff were always checking on you for your next order. And after you place your order, it also didn't take long for your order to arrive. The grill plates were always changed like in every 15 minutes or so. You always have a clean grill to cook on. The place was nice and really well lit. The place looked like industrial decoration, but mainly for the air extraction vents on every table. And these extraction vents were working very well. We left the place and we didn't smell of cooking fumes on our clothes! You should come out and try this place when you're in the area!

Gangnam Ave has been my absolute favorite KBBQ spot for years, and after trying several places…read morearound Sacramento, this one still tops them all. Honestly, it's so good that I haven't even felt the need to keep searching for another go-to. I've visited with small groups of 3-4 people and also larger groups of 6-10, and the experience has remained consistently great overall. One thing I like about Gangnam Ave is how their pricing works. Instead of the typical lunch vs. dinner menu, they offer Option A or Option B, where some premium meats are excluded from the cheaper option. It's basically the same concept as lunch/dinner pricing, but I appreciate that it isn't tied to the time of day. For reference, they open at 4pm on weekdays and 12pm on weekends, which feels pretty reasonable to me since KBBQ is usually more of a late lunch or dinner type of meal anyway. The variety of meats is one of the main reasons I love coming here. When I do AYCE, I'm going all in -- usually 4-5 rounds -- so I'm not trying to stick with just basic bulgogi. Gangnam Ave offers things you don't always see at other spots like small and large intestines, pork jowl, beef tongue, and spicy baby octopus, and the marinades here for some of the meats are flavorful. I've eaten at other KBBQ spots over the years for different reasons (my sister even worked at Oz for several years), but Gangnam Ave will always have a special place in my stomach. The appetizers are also solid. Their corn cheese is easily my favorite -- instead of a flat dish with watery corn and melted cheese tossed on top, they give you individual foil cups so you can throw it on the grill and melt it perfectly yourself. I'm lactose intolerant and still order it every single time. The steamed egg is always fluffy and never overcooked, and it pairs perfectly with the meats. I also usually order their soondubu; I'm not overly picky about tofu soup, but as long as it isn't watered down, I'm happy -- and theirs always hits the spot. Their drink menu is small but fun, especially if you like soju. They have some mixed soju drinks, and there's a strawberry + Sprite one with a strawberry-infused ice cube called Super Shy that has become my go-to whenever I visit. Sweet, bubbly, and dangerously easy to drink. Now for the meat itself: it comes out raw, of course, so the final result depends on how well your group can grill. If you've got someone in your group who knows what they're doing, you really can't go wrong. Portions are reasonable for the group size, orders usually come out pretty quickly, and they change the grills every round or two. Most tables have one grill for every four people, so larger groups will typically get two grills. Like most KBBQ places, the experience can depend on your server. I've had many different ones over the years -- most are great, a few are just okay -- which probably explains the mixed reviews you'll sometimes see. Personally, it's never been enough to ruin my experience. A quick tip: reservations are highly recommended for groups of four or more, and they'll usually ask ahead of time if there are kids in your party. If I had to nitpick anything, the dipping sauces are pretty simple and not particularly memorable, but nothing is perfect. The restaurant itself is small and dimly lit, but I think that's part of the charm. It feels cozy and homey -- the kind of place where you can sit around the grill with friends and family and just enjoy the moment. I've made a lot of great memories here over the years. Before moving out of state, I used to come here almost every other month with different groups of friends or family. I've included photos from several past visits with this review because they really show how often I've come here over the years. If anything, they're proof of how loyal of a returning customer I've been. ;) no bonuses or perks besides good food lol. After you're done pigging out, you can grab Melona bars or taiyaki ice cream fish sandwiches from the freezer near the front for cheap. Or if you want to extend the night, there's a Baskin-Robbins right next door for dessert. Parking is also pretty easy, and even though the lot gets a little dark at night, the bright lights from Gangnam Ave make it easy to spot. Maybe I'm a little biased because of all the good memories tied to this place, but there's a reason I've been returning for many years -- even before COVID. If you love AYCE KBBQ and want variety, good marinades, and a cozy vibe, Gangnam Ave is absolutely worth checking out.

So it's Valentines night around 630p and I had settled in on the couch thinking my evening was…read moreset,when my 24 year old daughter who was visiting for the weekend from out of town comes into the living room and was like "So where are we going for dinner tonight?"I literally did LOL and was like "Nowhere-not on Valentine's Day on a Saturday night with no reservations".She did not accept that as an acceptable answer and she jumped on her phone and after calling place after place she found a spot that had a wait under 30 minutes,though it was pretty far from Natomas and it's a place I have zero and I do mean zero experience with-but what are you going to do-When the wife and the daughter want to go to dinner on Valentines Day,I guess you get off the couch and head on out-we headed out to Modurang Korean Restaurant on Folsom Blvd. Parking at this location is kinda tricky in front of the restaurant as the spots seem very close and people seemed to be parking recklessly but luckily it's quite a large lot with many spaces in front of some of the other shops in this multi tenant shopping area. Once we got to the restaurant we noticed a few people waiting in the lobby ahead of us but considering what night it was,I was fine with it.We ended up waiting about 20 minutes before we got our table. I will admit fully I have zero expertise at Korean restaurant,outside of occasional visits to a BBQ spot but at traditional sit down Korean restaurant,I was out of my element.Luckily for me,the daughter has spent multiple weeks in Korea thru her military service,so I felt like I was in good hands-I let her have total control of what we were eating that night,that wasnt easy for me to do. We ended up going with Fried Chicken in spicy sauce($22.95)-Seafood Fried Rice($18.95)-Soft Tofu Stew($17.95)-Hot Stone Beef Bibimbab($19.95),which along with the courtesy banchan was so much food-but I'd never been to this restaurant-I wanted to try some things. To drink we ended up going with some Blackberry wine($14.95) and my daughter went with a Milkis($1.95) drink-I just went with water but I did have my eye on some Soju,but decided against it since I wasn't sure what I was up against "food-wise". Once the food arrived which was lightning quick-I was in heaven,the 11 small dish banchan along with our dishes,I can't tell you which was best because everything I tasted was on point and kept getting better and better.My bibimbap was so fun to eat-I enjoyed the act of mixing it all up before trying it-was so tasty.The tofu stew came out piping hot and the flavor profile was like nothing I've had before-it was super enjoyable.If I had to say though,the star of the meal was that fried chicken in spicy sauce-holy smokes-large pieces of chicken drowning in the spicy sauce,it was a flavor overload that I couldnt get enough of-I loved them-I think I ate 80% of them-sorry wife and daughter-I couldnt help myself,they were awesome,I'd always heard how good Korean chicken was but now I can vouch for it-it's really really great-do yourself a favor and get this dish-it's awesome. In closing,if you ever find yourself in the mood to try a traditional Korean restaurant in the Sacramento area,I would without a doubt recommend Modurang Korean restaurant-it was a pretty amazing place and I'm glad I tried it-hope you feel the same way if u try it one day. PS-forgot to mention that Blackberry wine was delicious-another surprise of the night-very enjoyable.

We got the seafood tofu soup, white meaning no spice. It was packed with seafood and we like it a lot. I wanted the fried flounder but they came out and said they were out of it. crap. they suggested the mackerel but that is the salty one but the wife said to try it but it was salty , She didn't like it much. The bones are big so easy to get rid of them. It was just ok. I think we won't order this again. Not as good as the flounder. We got the Galbi but it was really fatty tonight. Good flavor but less meat. Also got the fried chicken which is always yummy. Comes out really hot. It's funny that the server thought we ordered a lot but ate most of it . She don't know me hahaha. The food came out really quick since we were the only ones there. Felt like I booked the places just for us.

But there's so many flavors happening. You could just order it without any meat and it would still be delicious. The Korean egg drop sandwich was mouthwatering as well. Totally different from the Seoul sandwich. We got it with sausage. Scrumptious. The eggs were fluffy and the sandwich was made to perfection. To be honest. I think these could be some of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city. Just incredible. The service was good. They were very busy other orders. Staff is extremely friendly and gave me a tip for a burger I should try next time. If the burgers taste as good as the breakfast then I'm in for a treat. They also have wings and tenders.

I was pleasantly surprised this time around with how much they've improved. The jjangmyeon and jjampong are huge portions and could easily be shared between two people. I could only eat half of the combo dish and took the rest to go. I love how the noodles come out piping hot and sauce was just right in the jajangmyeon and jjampong had a good amount of seafood in it and not that spicy. The tangsuyuk was just okay for me as the meat is very thin and it had a lot of breading. The sauce though is perfectly sweet and savory like any other tangsuyuk place. Come here if you are craving some jajangmyeon but service can be a bit slower as it seems there is only one waiter and they also sell a few goods as a mini market with chips/frozen/refrigerated Korean prepackaged items for sale.
