    Large intestine combo (half mala and half spicy)
    Jasmine Z.

    I've been really craving large intestine bbq and this place really hit the spot without having to go all the way to Ktown. Their large intestines are incredibly fatty and juicy. When it gets charred on the grill the caramelization adds the perfect amount of sweetness and smokiness. Each bite feels like it's bursting with flavor and the inside of my mouth is coated with a layer of oil. Here the intestines are precooked, but they heat it up and cut it in front of you on a grill. It comes with mushrooms, onions, peppers and some rice cakes. We ordered the meat combo with 1 portion of spicy large intestines and 1 portion of mala large intestines. When they're mixed together it is kind of hard to tell the flavors apart, but the mala was slightly more sweet. The combo comes with a small steamed egg, spicy rice cakes, cheesy corn and a soy bean soup in addition to the normal banchans. I will say that the banchan and sides it comes with are just okay. The kimchi is pretty sour and fermented. The egg was a little bit over cooked. The soy bean soup was on the saltier side, but you know I'm willing to overlook all of that because of the intestines were just that good. It might be on the pricier side for the combo, but I think it can probably feed 3 ppl easily. There's some parking in the back of the restaurant and along the side streets but it did get filled pretty quickly on a Friday. Would recommend coming early. Service was good and the ambiance is pretty lively.

    Saw this restaurant online & had to check it out for myself! The mala large intestines were so delicious and all the sides were delicious - especially enjoyed how they offered lettuce and perilla leaves to make a ssam. The meat melted in your mouth and the sauce was sweet, savory, and had a touch of mala numbing spice. Cold noodles were great as well and helped to cut through the rich meat! It's a small and quaint and the music and vibes are good - not too loud & the service was awesome. Can't wait to come back!

    We usually go to King Chang whenever we're craving gopchang, but Seoul Belly might just be tied as my new favorite spot; especially for their large beef intestines. We stopped by for dinner on the Fourth of July after landing at LAX and gopchang was the only thing on our minds. Since it was just the two of us, the service was impeccable. Huge shoutout to Daniel and Suhyeon for their warm hospitality and attentiveness throughout the meal. The ambiance is cozy and homey, with that classic hole-in-the-wall charm and a lively late-night vibe, complete with K-pop playing on the big screen. We ordered the large beef intestines combo, split half regular and half spicy, which ended up being the perfect combination. We also added an order of brisket and the spicy cold noodles. The noodles were incredible; perfectly chewy with just the right amount of spice, and they paired so well with everything else. The banchan was also fresh, plentiful and thoughtfully prepared. We'll definitely be back the next time a gopchang craving hits!

    This was a great dinner! We got 2 combo plates - bulgogi and pork belly with 2 sides of rice. It was enough for 2 adults and 2 kids! We left full! We were the first ones in when they opened for dinner and service was quick. World cup was on in the background while we were eating. There's restaurant parking and also some street parking! Will definitely be back with friends to try other food on the menu!

    If you're a fan of gopchang, Seoul Belly is definitely worth checking out. The gopchang was some of the fattiest and juiciest I've had, with a great smoky flavor from the grill and the perfect chewy texture. The pork belly was also cooked beautifully and paired well with all the banchan. One of my favorite parts of the meal was the spicy bibim naengmyeon. The cold noodles were refreshing and balanced out all the rich grilled meats perfectly. Add a shot of soju, and it's a combination that's hard to beat. The portions were generous, the food came out fresh, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. If you're looking for a spot for Korean BBQ, gopchang, and Korean comfort food in Artesia, Seoul Belly is definitely worth a visit.

    Discovered this place through social media and am happy to report it is 100% worth the hype. Came on a Friday at opening and was seated right away. The parking lot is small so some of us parked on the street. The inside is cozy, cool (temperature wise), and was playing old school Korean music. Service was attentive too. Got 3 combo orders (large intestine (half mala and half regular), beef brisket, and pork belly). The combos also come with spicy rice cake, corn cheese, soybean stew, and steamed egg. What we loved is that everything that comes with the meal was delicious! The mala flavor of the intestine isn't that spicy but has a delicious flavor and slight numbing. Price is super reasonable as well. Everyone in the party all agree we would come back.

    I used to be a frequent visitor of Songhak, so when I found out that Seoul Belly was opening and also have intestines, I knew I have to check them out! We ordered a medium combo of large intestines half spicy and half regular. We also added an order of spicy pork belly. Everything was so good and you can tell they use high quality intestines/meat. Next time though, I will stick to the regular, as the spicy sauce makes the meat a bit too sweet and greasy. Their cold noodle was so good and refreshing! It paired super well with the intestines/meat. The staff were super attentive and kept checking up on us! Their set up is really cool, as they have the chairs with the compartment where you can put your belongings inside to prevent the smell.

    So I thought this place was definitely clean and thankfully we were the first ones there at opening on a Sunday so not too many people. I only see this place really with a line later in the night. We ordered half small and large with a side of pork belly. I was anticipating the side of pork belly to be more than one piece of Pork belly since the bill came and we were charged $21.99 and the waiter told us that it would be around $70 for the entire thing. Since I did ask him that I didn't want the $21.99 cause I figured that was definitely More than what we got usually right? I just told him k wanted a little bit and he said others do that too but the price for that is not on the menu u but they work it out with their customers. So I was confused about that. We got billed $90+ for half and half and a side of pork belly which I know was one piece only since I saw 6 one inch cut pieces. Nothing more. That annoyed me. But it's not bad food. I think it's good. The best? No.... The price? I mean where is it cheap nowadays. Just bummed that we got charged more than I was told. If that is the $21.99 that's on the menu for pork belly then don't order that since that's only 6 cut pieces of pork belly for $22. That's highway robbery already. You guys need to clarify this stuff better to your customers cause money doesn't come easy.

    Ordered the medium intestine platter with half spicy and half regular. Easy 5/5. It had been a while since having intestines, so this really hit the spot. Everything was cooked well and full of flavor. Service was also 5/5. Our server gave solid recommendations and kept things running smoothly. No complaints. Ambiance gets another 5/5. It felt authentic without trying too hard. Good vibes. Definitely coming back!

    The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous! The staff were super sweet, friendly, and welcoming. The prices were also very reasonable, especially for the quality and portion sizes. Definitely a great place to come back to--I'll for sure be visiting again

    Instestines
    Jerry K.

    Food- excellent. I normally am not a fan of intestines, but the sauce kept me coming back for more. I guess it's a love hate dish for me. The thinly slices porkbelly was like a roller coaster of fat and spicies taking me on a trip to flavor town. All of it went down the hatch with a crisp glass of cold Cass beer. Very nice meal on a cold night. Service- good and attentive to.our needs. Ambiance.- small and cozy. Great place to meet up with a small group Cleanliness- i would eat here. Bathroom- clean , one for men and one women. Parking - decent more than 10 spots, but tight. Cost- reasonable

    Mixed main entree with thick beef belly side!
    Brock H.

    First time going to Seoul Belly! Went there for dinner last night, it was better than I had thought. The vibe is great, perfect amount of people inside with no wait. Our server was kind, professional, and comfortable to interact with. He recommended the main a little bit of everything entree with one of the belly sides. KBBQ is in my top 3 all time meals along with Italian and Japanese, so very excited to see what this is all about. The best part of the experience is all of the items were home style. The sauces, salad, dips, and sides were uniquely flavorful compared to some of the other chain bbq establishments. My favorite was the large or small intestine, delicious! Definitely looking forward to coming back for the thin sliced spicy belly and one of the soups. Saw other people ordering them, it all looked worth it.

    Cold noodle soup

    This location previously had a similar menu but closed during the pandemic. It had an old school vibe, definitely quieter. This reopened spot is geared towards a younger crowd of barflies pocha eats spot. Music is quite loud but I hear that makes patrons eat more or faster. Our family came here for dinner, and it was quite busy and loud. Not the typical AYCE Korean bbq, but the kind where your server also cooks your food on the tabletop grill. Food menu features pre grilled meats that get a final sear on an iron grill heated by sterno packs. We got a mixture of snowflake pork belly (it's pre-scored to tenderize) , thin sliced beef and a side of small intestines. The server brought out the raw beef and the pork and intestine half done , to finish cooking on the grill. The dumplings with beef stew is brought out arranged very carefully on a round metal plate, then hot broth poured over all to keep cooking, also using sterno packs to heat. Delicious. The table shared a cabbage stew, and a cold noodle soup. The meal included steamed egg that had some fish roe and seaweed. Side dishes of white kimchi, sliced onions with bean sprouts & potato salad. Very satisfying meal. Parking is shared with apartments in the rear, so watch where you are parked - some spaces are designated tenant only. Be prepared for a smoky experience, recommend very casual wear (translation: check your hamper for cleanish clothing, lol).

    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.

    Dae Bak feels like a place you sit down and let the meal take its time…read more The menu is simple and comforting. Homey Korean staples, not giant menu chaos. The inside is clean and cozy: warm wood paneling, booth seating and an old-school Korean restaurant feel. Nothing flashy. It just feels comfortable. Service was good, but the pacing was slow. Banchan came out with the entrees instead of before, so the table sat empty for a bit. The entrees came out around 20 minutes in. The Korean pancake took closer to 30. The banchan spread was simple but fresh. Sesame broccoli. Marinated potato chunks. Kimchi. Pickled cucumbers. Lightly dressed mayo macaroni. Nothing wild, but everything tasted clean and did its job. The beef soondubu was solid. The jjigae was balanced and rich, with soft tofu and enough beef to make the bowl feel complete. It came out bubbling hot, ready for the raw egg to hit the broth and disappear into comfort. I got medium heat, but it ate pretty mild, so go higher if you want actual spice. The stone pot bibimbap was good, but I wanted more from it for the price. More vegetables, bigger bowl, more of that loaded bibimbap feeling. The sweet gochujang sauce had good flavor, but barely any heat. Good bowl. A little restrained. The Korean pancake was the all-kill of the meal. No lip sync. Fried beautifully. Crisp edges. Good chew. Green onion, onion and zucchini in every bite. The batter had a hint of caramelized fried egg flavor, which made it taste richer. Dip it in the sauce for that salty, savory lift. Bite it with kimchi and the whole thing wakes up: crisp, rich, tangy, gone. It showed up last and still became the reason to come back. They also have a seafood version, which is dangerous information to learn after the pancake already won the meal. Parking was easy during lunch, with plenty of spaces in the strip mall lot. But with an AYCE restaurant in the same plaza, weekends or busier dinner hours might be a different story. Great food quality, cozy space and the kind of meal that asks you to slow down whether you planned to or not. The pacing was slow, but the food had enough care behind it to keep the meal worth it. Come hungry, but not in a hurry. And get the pancake.

Their portion sizes are generous and the flavors always hit the spot. Here are my go-to orders: Pork Bone Soup ($19.99) Good amount of meaty pork bones and the meat was fall-of-the-bone tender!

Overall, this place is a mom and pop shop that delivers quality food at a reasonable price. The restaurant feels spacious with plenty of booth seating. The food took 20-30 minutes to come out and they were worth the wait! My only suggestion is for them to serve the banchan before the food came out.

One thing that gives me a lot of confidence: the place was full of Korean people having their meals. That tells you everything about how legit it is. The atmosphere is nice without being fancy. A good spot to bring the family and enjoy some Korean food with ice cold beer and soju, of course. Service was top notch. Really good lunch. I will be back.

    My first time at BCD, isn't that wild? That's been all my reactions from my friends and I do say it…read moredoes live up to the hype. We waited a bit to get seated as it was crowded on a Sunday night. They served up their normal bites before, kimchi, fish etc. I got their combo with bulgogi and tofu soup. Bulgogi came with a lot of onion and was pretty average. Tasted well with the soup and rice. Soup was also good. Nothing bad to say about this spot and if I'm in the mood for some good soup and Korean food, I would come back here in a heartbeat. Parking here is tough because it's a busy parking lot.

    I've been wanting to try this pocha spot and it did not disappoint! Here's what we got:…read more Pocha Bossam (large for $29.99) The pork belly was so tender and I loved that the meat was marinated so it was flavorful on its own. It paired perfectly with the spicy radish Kim chi and the sliced pickled radish and green onions. Royal Soba w/ Perilla Seed ($17.95) Most unique soba dish I've ever had. It came with an assortment of toppings that added a lot of texture and flavor when mixed all together. 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 would come back to try their other dishes!

    Pretty decent food. And in our current economic times, pretty reasonably priced. At here last…read morenight. Mind you, I have eaten here once before but that was a few months ago. Had the bibimbap. Tasty sauce and vegetables. Decent portion. My daughter ordered the bossam which we all shared. Mind you, this isnt top of the line, high end eatery. But the food is prepared well, and is tasty. And is reasonably priced. This is what they say they are, Street food. I should be coming back more often to try other dishes. I will mark this as a place to eat and relax after golf also. The bad is that it is in a dying mall. This was in the Kokio chicken location which closed. And a market that went thru a few iteration but is vacant. I hope the city of cerritos can entice another anchor tenant to help revitalize this mall. But I will try to do my part in patronizing local businesses. And will start with this one. For their good food

    I came here with a friend and we got their Pork Cutlet (Handmade Pork Cutlet) and Naeng Myun (Cold…read moreBuckwheat Noodles). The pork cutlet was large in portion but quality-wise, it wasn't as good. I really enjoyed their Naeng Myun though; it was very refreshing and the sweet radish that came with it was a great touch altogether. All the side dishes that came with were great although I only tasted a few of them. Everything tasted fresh and the food really felt authentic for me as a Korean. Their service was welcoming and laidback. After they brought out our food, they didn't really come to serve us unless we needed something. Water is provided at each table so it's more of a self-serve unless you order a drink. Ambiance was awesome; it gave off a family friendly atmosphere. There was a lot of space inside and very comforting overall. I'd definitely come back. (Sorry folks, I forgot to take a picture of the cold noodles!)

    Tried the #1 hot pot franchise in Korea. So happy they have a location in Cerritos because…read moreeverything we ordered was SO good ! The kimchi gamjatang was our favorite! 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! What we ordered: -Kimchi Gamjatang (M, 2 servings) -Cheese Fried Rice (add on) -Bossam (S) -Kimbap -Sapporo

    Came here mainly for the Giant Chicken Katsu, and the size definitely lives up to the name. It's…read morehuge, but not just because of the breading--the chicken itself has a good thickness and stays juicy inside. The outside was crispy, and it comes with curry and rice, so the portion is very filling. We also ordered the Rice Ball, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Spicy Chicken with Cheese. The rice ball was simple but good with the fried food, and the shrimp fried rice was a solid option for kids. The spicy chicken with cheese was richer and heavier, with plenty of melted cheese on top. Overall, the Giant Chicken Katsu was the standout for us and the dish I'd come back for. Good casual Korean comfort food spot in Cerritos.

    Food: 2/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 This place is going downhill, which is so unfortunate. I used to love coming here years ago. We got the $50 combo of tteokbokki and fried whole chicken. Is the tteokbokki in the combo supposed to be smaller than the normal one? 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.
