    Chicken and Beef Teriyaki Plate
    Jennifer R.

    This place is located in a quiet plaza in Cerritos. It's almost like a hidden gem. Once inside it feels very homey and quite familiar. Upon entering, my brother and I were greeted by the staff. We shared two dishes together and it was sufficient for us both. The food was very tasty and filling. I would definitely come back and try out other items on their menu.

    Chicken Teriyaki Bowl
    Katelyn S.

    My husband and I were checking out a local card shop and wanted to grab dinner afterwards so we ended up here. We went for the buy 1, get 1 50% chicken bowls. The chicken bowls were made to serve over rice and was simple yet delicious. It also paired well with hot sauce and the teriyaki sauce they provided. If you're looking for something quick and a bang for your buck, I would recommend trying this place out.

    King Short-rib Soup
    Traci L.

    Passed by this place so many times and finally decided to stop by one night for takeout. Ordered the king short rib soup and jjajangmyeon (not pictured). My oh my was this delicious and so comforting. There were decent amount pieces of short rib inside and even though I had takeout, the soup was still piping hot. The jjajangmyeon also had pieces of pork which added some great flavor. Parking is very easy in this plaza and I definitely will be back to try other food.

    Have tried the jajangmyeon, spicy cold noodles, and kimchi fried rice. Give it a try!

    So glad it was my turn to choose where we get to have dinner for gal pal night, we all tried a new place and really enjoyed it! Great service, tasty offerings. We ordered the kimchi fried rice, steamed dumplings, black bean noodles, and Donkatsu. Everything was shareable and we had leftovers. The kimchi fried rice was my favorite, full of flavor not too greasy and loved the pieces of beef throughout the dish. I loved their kimchi and radish on the side. The steamed dumplings were lovely with the dipping sauce. The Donkatsu was a little overcooked but it was still a tasty dish with crunchy outside, the sauce was great. Black bean noodles were great but the fans were on full blast in the restaurant, our food got cold pretty fast. The women working behind the counter were hospitable and kind. The 2 of them seem to run the restaurant together. They have a bathroom available, but not in the greatest condition. This place has a lot of charm, overall a good time and would gladly return.

    Amazing food for lunch. I've had their different lunch bowls and it so fresh. The price point for all of their meals is so affordable. A++ The ladies working here are so nice it was 95° today and she gave me this free drink. So kind-hearted

    My go to place for bibim naengmyun - mix of noodles with spicy sauce in a refreshing cold broth. The service is friendly and prompt. They sometimes have a buy 1 get 50% off on certain menu items. The dumplings are good either fried or steamed. I usually dip in the tteokbokki sauce but they give you a soy sauce mix on the side. The tteokbokki is sweet and spicy and you can opt to add ramen or other toppings. The spicy squid is also a favorite! The various soups are also good (udon, tofu soup, etc).

    Super yummy food! Got to try the cold noodle! Exceptionally good! Teriyaki chicken special is my fam bam all time favorite! Come support this join!

    The services are so nice in Korean, explanation was kind and understandable. The food looks nice and salivated as well:)

    음식 비주얼도 말 안되게 이쁘고, 맛도 말 안되게 이쁩니다. 꼭 오세요. 매너도 좋고 한국 분식집 답게 한국분식 느낌이 엄청납니다. 꼭오세요 추천합니다.

    Tangsuyuk - sweet and sour pork

    I was really craving sweet and sour pork (tangsooyuk), so I gave this place a shot. Big mistake. The meat had zero flavor and absolutely no crispiness--even though I picked it up fresh, it was already soggy. I should've just gone to Panda Express. Definitely not coming back for this dish.

    Jungjungmyeon - delicious and good portion
    Ronny T.

    Love this place. Came here for lunch and was greeted with very friendly staff. The food was great. We had the black bean noodles, dongkatsu, teriyaki and beef bowl, and other dishes. Everything was delicious. Portions were generous and they even brought out extra salad and soup for us. Very upbeat place with nice decor. Nice place, great food, but what stood out for me was the friendly and helpful service!

    Are you guys planning to sell kimbap through Ubereats?

    We no longer sell kimbap anymore, sorry about that.

    Do they cook with MSG?

    Not that I've seen them add it, but it could be in their sauces or marinades. I've been coming here since it was E-teliyaki and am sensitive to high doses of MSG. I have never felt odd after eating here, except when I eat a load of chili / spicy… 

    Can they make the jjangmyeon without pork?

    No, they make their sauce in a large batch

    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.

The broth was rich, savory, and slightly spicy with that tangy kimchi flavor. The pork bone meat was sooo tender and literally fell apart! The dipping sauce made it even better too. It had a little mustardy kick that went perfectly with the pork. We also added the cheese fried rice and definitely recommend it! Crispy on the bottom, cheesy, and so flavorful from the leftover broth. The bossam was also really good! Loved the pork wrapped in napa cabbage which adds a fresh, crunchy texture to every bite. And of course, we had to get the kimbap! So delicious and the perfect bite to go with everything else. Definitely coming back when I'm craving Korean comfort food!
