We have tried this place twice -- both times we had the bossam (steamed pork belly), and it's great. Most places serve bossam warm, but this is the only place we've been to that serves it over sterno heat to keep up the temperature. There's also a little bit of some broth and it gives the bossam a little extra flavor. Pro tip: after the bossam is heated you can turn down the heat by closing the lid over the sterno by 1/2 or more to avoid overcooking the pork. We also had the bibimbap, and it was also good-- but, really, you can't mess up bibimbap. There's also a good selection of banchan. Service was good and prices are reasonable. We're putting this on our list of places to go to.
Top tier Korean food. Does not disappoint! Their cold noodles are sooo refreshing and massive portions. Noodles are perfectly chewy and the broth is sweet savory perfection. My friend also loved her spicy bibimnaengmyeon! The bossam also hit the spot and I think $26 for the bossam + cold noodle combo is worth it bc it's definitely shareable. Service was super quick and all the banchan was spectacular and great variety. They were very attentive and food came out quickly. There's plenty of seating here and a nice space! Will be back for sure.
Sonamu has easily become one of my favorite spots for korean food. Good service, good food, and good vibes every time!!
Delicious food and the two waitresses working last night (1/6) couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. I can't wait to take my mom here.
Experience true Korean summer flavor with our Mul Naengmyeon--crafted with house-made noodles and a deep, savory broth. Hand-pulled. Cold-served. Authentically Korean. There are several restaurants specializing in cold noodles, but these are ranked 1st or 2nd in terms of taste. Kind smiles. Clean space. Real Korean flavor. Let our amazing female staff make your day.
Came here for dinner with my fiancé because I was craving bossam and cold noodles. We were seated immediately. They took a little bit to take our order but the food was served quickly soon after that. The restaurant was spacious and wasn't too busy when we came. They have 2 jinro frogs in the front which are super cute too. They have combos so we ordered the combo with bossam and cold noodles to share. They split the cold noodles in half for us which was very nice and unexpected. Their Banchan was also really good. I'm a little picky with my cold noodles, but these ones were still good. The bossam was really yummy. Definitely give this place a try if you're craving Korean food! :)
This restaurant is located on the corner of Lincoln and Beach, down the street from Knott's Berry Farm. It's in the corner of a strip mall, so there's plenty of free parking. Met family here for lunch. We ordered dish #1, which they are famous for, like a hot pot; the Korean seafood pancake that was the size of a large pizza; and jap-chae, not pictured here. The main dish came with two small bowls of purple colored rice that tasted better than it looked. Many unique side dishes, along with the traditional kimchi. Complimentary, as always. Service was good. They greeted everyone who walked through the door. Atmosphere, same as other Korean bbq restaurants. The place was clean. Bo-dee-cha and cold water at the table. Chopsticks and soup spoons in a container at the table as well. I would definitely come back again when in the area.
Came here with a friend on a wednesday for lunch and it was pretty empty. few tables with older korean uncles and aunties and felt like we went to the right place. There was one lady who was serving running the food and cleaning and she was doing amazing. super sweet! bossam was delish! it was cooked with a marinade which helped give it more flavor. but the banchan??!! there was so many and i love their kimchi! the cold noodles were good but i'd rather save more space for the bossam next time. overall would come again!
My friend and I came here on a weeknight and we got the grilled octopus bibimbap rice and galbi full size. Although staff and service were very nice and friendly, I thought the food was just okay. The galbi portion was very small when it came out and I was very surprised, because it was expensive, $35! But the size was more of a combo size when you order with tofu at a tofu place... it was only two ribs cut up... I know you can def get a lot more at other places. The octopus bibimbap was flavorful and very spicy, this was okay also. Their banchan was also just okay. Overall, it was okay.
Came here on a Saturday night, and it wasn't too busy surprisingly. No wait for a group of 8 people. First impression of this place was that it was authentically Korean, and the Korean aunties were very nice. Service was actually better than the service I would get in LA K town to be very honest. Prices seemed on average with the other traditional Korean places out there. Got the bibimbip and beef bulgolgi combo, and both items were delicious and top quality. The food was not heavily salted/greasy, and I didn't get that heavy feeling after a Korean meal. The group I went with really liked their dishes they got as well, and they really liked the portion size for their meals. Also they were very generous with their banchan dishes, and they were of good quality as well. I really like their fish cake banchan the most. In my opinion, this is one of the best Korean restaurants to try in So Cal, and if I'm ever back in the OC area, it would be worth to try their other items as well.
SO GOOD! My husband and I tried this place last night and wowed by the food. It's been awhile since we have been to Hangari but we thought this place was better!
Overall 3.5. Customer service: 3.5 stars Food Taste: 4 stars Very Pricey: 2 stars This was a very expensive late dinner meal for two. We walked in just a touch past 8:30pm (their last call). They first refused us, saying they were closed. They did however allow us to be seated and wanted us to order some kind of bulgogi casserole which we didn't want. We ordered spicy squid stir fry. It came with too many noodles and boiled bean sprouts. We just ate the stir fry. $32 My friend ordered LA Galbi. Just a normal portion. $32. The taste was deep and savory. The grilled onions were nice. Rice we got served was white. It wasn't really warm. It was kind of dried out. But when we wanted a refill they brought out a really nice multi-grain rice that was fresher, tastier. The ban chans were delish. We were able to get a few refilled. They gave us the check as soon as we ordered b/c she said she had to pay her workers, their tips. Maybe if I go back during normal hours, it will be better next time. It's a good sign when you see senior Korean golfers eating somewhere that means the food is legit.

Big portions available for sharing. Bossam came on a platter with lots of fire to stay hot during eating and served with onions and marinated scallions. Yuskoo was really good and must have 2 people minimum to order but is worth it. read more

Had the seasoned sliced beef, it sort of reminded me of shabu shabu but Korean style. I really enjoyed the quality of the broth/meat/veggies! All the sides (banchan) that came with the food were amazing! Parking is ample and service was awesome. Excited to come back and try other items on the menu :) read more

Super delicious food! After the recent change in management(October), the food quality went up and the menu changed but they kept some of the popular food items, such as the buckwheat noodles and yuk-soo bulgogi. As soon as my friend and I walked in, we were greeted and guided toward the table. We were then given hot barley tea, which was perfect since the weather outside was cold. I ordered my favorite: soft tofu soup and my friend ordered spicy noodles and LA beef short rib. We also got a side of the mung bean pancake. The food was extraordinary and it made me wanting more. The service was really good as all the waitresses checked up on us multiple times during our meal. I know this will be one of my go-to restaurants whenever I crave a home-cooked meal! read more

BEST NON BASIC KOREAN FOOD I'VE EVER HAD!!! TRUELY A HIDDEN GEM / HOLE IN THE WALL. Seasoned sliced beef (bulgogi) with sliced white onions and a lil bit of potato noodles (the one used in japchae) accompanied with beef broth to pour in the moat of the grill while the bulgogi is cooking in the middle IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. There is a deal for the bulgogi dish with 2 choices of 3- 1) cold noodles in cold broth 2) spicy cold noodle ( HIGHLY RECOMMEND ) 3) wheat cold noodle AND ITS ALL FOR $22.99!!! (A GREAT DEAL, def can feed two female young adults, probably 3) My friend and I left the restaurant defeated, with food on the table (we were too full to finish... maybe we both shouldn't have ordered rice), but every bite from my spoon that consisted of bulgogi, the juices if the meat in the broth with the rice was absolutely delicious. We went on June 19th. The restaurant is quite big & had dividers between most of their tables with a bottle of hand sanitizer on each divider. All employees had a mask and gloves on and were extremely friendly. Our table was two tables long so they would place our orders at the opposite end of the table where we were sitting, showing effort of maintaining the 6 feet rule. **Dining procedures might have changed due to the virus** I absolutely enjoyed eating here, and if you choose to try Sonamu, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. read more

Came here with a group of 14 people, and we had an amazing time! The owners are very sweet, and they were very attentive! We ordered a lot more dishes that are meant to be shared. We got the Braised Kimchi Soup, Sliced Beef with Beef Broth, Pork Rib Spicy, and Spicy Octupus Stir Fry. All the food is amazing and suuuper fresh! read more

Ordered through DoorDash and I'm not sure that the stew was worth the $23. The broth tasted very watery and the portion was small. The ban chan on the other hand was delicious. Not sure if I will order to-go again, but I may try dining in. read more

We got the Cold Noodle with the Napa Wrap! The cold noodles were so good and they give a really generous portion! The Napa wrap was more okay, I wasn't a huge fan of how the Napa was flavored. But the combo itself fed two people and the ban chan was so good! It's definitely been my go-to spot for cold noodles for the last two years! read more

My husband and I went there for lunch today. looks very quiet and there were less than 10 people inside restaurant. Anyway I don't like too many people around me. My husband got beef tofu w bulgogi combo and I got the spicy red pepper bean stew(kotchujang stew). We were waiting for the entrees and tasted their side dishes, small radish kimchi, reg Napa cabbage kimchi, salad, acorn jelly, spinach and soy seasoned black beans. To be honest, the first time was a lot better. I can say I regretted to come here for the 2nd time. Not fresh, not tasty, not attractions...any side dishes for me. For Entrees, Bulgogi was not tender at all, hard to chew it. My Kotchjang stew was just sweet w pork, tofu, squash. Dissapointed w quality and taste. I didn't take a food pic this time that is why... I told a male server to improve first at least side dishes, choose more tender beef for the popular dishes. This makes the new restaurant successful down the road. I suggested more affordable prices w good foods bring more people all the time. Should be consistent to maintain the taste and quality for the customers. Thank you for the great service thou. :) read more

DO Not go to this resturant. The service is so terrible. We went for dinner on Christmas day and waited 10 mins to be seated and the owner totally ignored us. Finally we got seated and waiting 10 mins to get the menu. The waitress was very rude taking our orderes and couldn't even get that right too. We ordered white rice and she gave us one barley rice and just throw it on our table. The resturant wasn't even busy. A few customers left before their food came out because they were fustrated and the owners were so rude about it. We decided to just for our food but the worst part was that the food was not all that. Whoever wrote these good comments on yelp was their family members or they were paid to this these reviews about this terrible resturant. read more

Food heaven!!!!! We ordered for pick up and they had to roll a cart out with all we ordered. And we are so glad we did! The #54 lettuce wraps with beef bulgogi (beef bbq) is amazing. I also had #59 soft tofu stew with beef and it's just amazing. Our crew also ordered #56 beef bulgogi bibimbap (rice bowl) and they just loved it. The sides dishes are so perfect and plentiful. All in all one of the best places we've eaten at in so long. Only negative is of course the styrofoam containers but I'm hoping post-covid i can just eat inside on the regular! So much more i plan to try from Sonamu! Just delicious and wonderfully made. read more

I was surprised that this restaurant didn't have many reviews. I've only been there once but I enjoyed there very much. The price was very reasonable especially if you go during the lunch time on weekdays. Service is great, we got very caring attitude from the owners. I would definitely go back again. read more

Hands down best Korean restaurant in Orange County area! They are doing take outs and also patio dine in! Nengmyun (Korean cold noodle) is only $4.99 and it is HUGE and delicious. I love cold noodle and tried many places but this place is the best. For its quality, this is a crazy promotion. Best dish for hot summer. They also have yooksu bulgogi and many other delicious dishes. I came here with my wife today (shes been fan of this place since they were in Garden Grove) and we left happy with full stomach. Owners and staffs are super friendly and generous. Really hope others can also support honest and great local business like Sonamu during the whole COVID pandemic. read more

This food is so amazing!!! I'm going to be craving it tomorrow. The servers were so kind and helped explain everything that was in Korean. The shared condiments were delicious! I ordered one of the hot pots. The best part was the carmelized crunchy rice on the bottom of the pot. We'll definitely be back!! read more

So gross. Cold noodles had a weird scent to them. Almost like noodles were washed with gross water. Noodles were super bland. I took two bites and couldn't eat anymore. Galbi also way too overpriced. Also had a weird smell tThree strips for 26.99. Never coming back. read more
