I wanted to take a moment to share with you a special discovery my family and I have cherished for over a decade--Tang 88, arguably the most delicious Korean family-owned restaurant in Los Angeles. We stumbled upon Tang 88 about 13 years ago, and ever since, it has been a treasured part of our lives. The culinary experience there is simply amazing. Their galbi tang and a variety of bibimbap selections never fail to impress. But what truly makes it special for my son are the handmade seaweed rolls, his absolute favorite. It's remarkable to think that when we first started coming, my son was just three years old, and now, ten years later, he still finds delight in their food. What sets Tang 88 apart is not only the exceptional quality of their dishes but also the reasonable pricing, making it accessible without compromising taste. However, what truly stands out for us is the excellent service provided by the husband-and-wife team that runs the place. Their passion for authentic, homemade Korean cuisine shines through in every aspect of the dining experience. Today, we had the pleasure of dining in again following their recent renovation and reopening. The updated ambiance complements the warm and welcoming atmosphere we've always appreciated. In my opinion, Tang 88 ranks among the very best Korean homemade restaurants in the Los Angeles area. For my family and me, it's an 11 out of 19 stars kind of place--unique, memorable, and consistently satisfying. I urge you to give Tang 88 a try; I am confident that you will be hooked. read more

The return of a good experience. K-Food shifted back to its original restaurant, Tang 88. Same owners, revamped menu with some shift in the menu. Single items that were in the K-Food style are in the single portions while other home style recipes are added. The price range of the singles are slightly increased, which makes sense because the prices previously stayed the same for a while. With the restaurant style, banchan (sides) have been added. I am ready to explore the entire menu. read more

Definitely one of the best sit down korean spots you can eat. Theres a simple menu but all cooked fresh with a lot of love. Theres 4 sets of tables (not for big parties) and a bathroom. Plenty of parking as its in a shopping plaza but i recommend calling in your order whether you are sitting or togo. It's a small mom and pop so you will need to be patient to be rewarded with great taste. There are definitely other korean places to consider but considering the price, location, and authenticity you can't beat it. I highly recommend taking a cupbap to Don Knabe for scenic lunch. read more

Stopped by K Food Express for takeout and tried their bibimbap along with an order of mandu. The bibimbap was definitely the highlight--great portion size for the price, and the meat was juicy, flavorful, and more generous than I expected. The mandu was decent --pretty average in terms of flavor and the filling-to-shell ratio. Still enjoyable, but I've had better from other restaurants. The staff member who helped me was friendly, and the interior looked clean with plenty of seating if you decide to dine in. The restaurant is in a small plaza, and parking wasn't an issue when I went at night. Overall, a solid spot for a quick Korean meal, especially for takeout. I'd come back again if I am in the area. read more

Tang 88 - Beef Bulgogi Cup-Bop - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

After getting some coffee, I needed some food. This small restaurant is located in a large plaza. There's lots of parking. I was walking around the plaza, and popped in this shop just to see what they're selling. It seems like it's a mom and pop shop. Yay to supporting small businesses! When I first entered the shop with friends, I noticed how intimate it seemed. The dining area was clean, with catchy kpop music in the background. Also, the woman was pretty patient, while we took awhile to look over the menu. The food does take awhile, since it's only the couple working. She bought out a large water bottle for the 4 of us. When the food came out, I was a bit taken back by how much food there was. I ended up taking home half of my food. I ordered the bulgogi cup-pop. I took one bite, and I could taste how fresh and authentic the food was. The food was also delicious. The lady was nice enough to bring us an extra soup, even though we only ordered 3 meals. I definitely recommend this place. Even though it's in a dead plaza, don't let that deter you from going. The service was friendly and excellent. The food is authentic and tasty, with reasonable prices. read more

Tang 88 - Bulgogi cup-bop - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

This place needs to be more popular!! It's located in a shopping center all the way in the back corner of a parking lot; a hidden gem. You get a lot of food for a great price and the best part? It's delicious! We always pick up a cup bop whenever we go! I love the donkatsu but the spicy pork and bulgogi are both great picks as well. We ordered the fish cake soup and the portion was HUGE. We got a big bowl of fish cake soup with tons of fish cake and yummy broth, WITH the soup that already came with our meals. It's a great place to come check out, support your local restaurants! Tip: order ahead! When we order in person, it takes about 10-15 minutes for them to make the food, so order ahead if you're in a hurry (: read more

Haven't been in the area for a while, and surprised to find this new restaurant (to us at least) "K Food Express" having replaced the old Tang 88. A pleasant surprise, indeed. Ordered a "Cup-Bap" with pork belly. Very fresh, and tasty. We'll be back. read more

Second time coming here with the hope that I can order Kim-bap! Unfortunately, it seems that it has been taken off the menu so I'm not sure when I'll get the chance to try it. They do have the cup-bop options and their bibimbop (which I ordered to-go) which are tasty. Portions are fairly large as well, I couldn't finish my bulgogi bibimbop in one sitting, and it's nice how the dish comes with everything separated (sauce, bulgogi, rice, veggies, with a fish cake soup on the side). The interior of the restaurant is also peaceful with a few tables. Staff is very friendly. read more

I was in the area and wanted Korean food and this place popped up on Yelp. There was plenty of parking in the lot on a weekend. Inside, the ambiance was nice and clean. I ordered the bulgogi cup bop and it came with japchae, kimchi, soup and rice. The bulgogi was really good and the toppings were fresh. I'm especially impressed by the big portion size, I was only able to finish half of my meal so you really get a bang for your buck.

a super clean, tasty, fresh, local, mom and pop shop. this is everything i ever wanted AND they close late at 11pm! the man who took our order was exceptionally kind and generous, he gave us two small bowls of delicious soup with our order and water to share. the fish cake soup was light and the bulgogi cup bop was one of our all time favorites. the meat was so tender and flavorful, and we loved hearing the kitchen sound so lively as they laid down our food. it was so hot and fresh. kimchi was tangy and broccoli was just boiled, but slightly cold. japchae didnt have a lot of toppings but it was sweet and chewy! i actually loved the texture of these since normally they can get soggy. the dumplings were just standard chicken dumplings, nothing too crazy. i would definitely come here again and support this small business!! thank you for making our food with love read more

Always love supporting a small family business. Very nice staff and seating area. Their food is really good and affordable. Also open late if youre craving korean food late night. I came with a few of my friends and we all got different menu items. All of them did not disappoint. read more

Cute mom and pop shop. Service was great. Owner/cashier SUPER friendly. Relaxed, clean area. I LOVE Japchae, their japchae was flavorful. I had the pork belly cup. Portions were filling and it comes with a soup. Pork belly had a char flavor, which I like. Kimchi was more on the sweeter side for me, but still very flavorful. The fried seaweed japchae was a game changer. Not sure if the sauce that came with my order was meant for the fried seaweed, but it gives it a boost of flavor. Overall it felt like a home cooked meal. read more

Tang 88 - Pork Belly Cup-Bop KK - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

This place is very nice and calm, very open with lots of sitting available as well. The food is delicious with great portions if you ask me, I personally am a fan of their noodles- very flavorful and the texture is just perfect. They don't have a huge menu or options but all their signature bowls are very good. They also have soju and sake available along with Fresh lemonades. Their strawberry lemonade was honestly so good it caught me by surprise, it has fresh fruit and tasted like heaven. I would say they are a bit understaffed but there's this lady that works there who never fails to make us feel welcomed, she's an angel. I do wish she had a little more help though as sometimes large groups of people come in and it's just her but overall great food and staff. Also their prices are affordable and reasonable as the portions are amazing. read more

The food was very delicious! I ordered the spicy pork bowl and the portions were generous and flavorful. Staff was incredibly nice and made some good suggestions on what to try since it was my first time there. The highlight was their home made kimchi. I have not had kimchi like theirs before! It was so good I definitely have to come back for more. The inside super cozy and chill. Definitely a good spot to bring some friends for lunch and relax. Overall, I had a very positive experience and I recommend this restaurant if you're in the city and looking for a quick bite to eat with some leftovers for est at home later. read more

Tang 88 - Donkatsu Cup-Bop - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

I am utterly surprised at how good the food was, even after microwaving it. This was a to-go order that my coworker got for me. I got the Donkatsu cup bop in which it sat in the fridge for a few hours before I was able to get to it and eat for lunch. After microwaving the entire bowl, the Katsu was still crunchy and good. The kimchi was super fresh, the curry wasnt too overpowering, and the noodles were the perfect texture. The portion I received, especially in the to go container was a lot! Looking forward to dining in one of these days. read more

Went in person to order and the service was fast! Inside was well kept and felt clean. The food is good quality and quantity for the amount. I got the Katsu and it was so flaky and tender! I would definitely recommend. My husband got the spicy bowl and he really liked his. read more

I saw the high reviews for this place on Yelp so I decided to stop by for a quick meal. I ordered a beef bulgogi kim-bap. Let me start off with saying that the rolls here are HUGE while still maintaining a great meat to veggies to rice ratio. The flavor of the beef bulgogi was really good and the veggies in the roll complemented it really well. This seems like it's a mom and pop store and it's only the two of them working there. Service here is friendly but my only complaint is that there was a decent wait for my food even though I was the only one in the store. I assume they make the food fresh to order and that's why it took a while, so I didn't mind it as much. The store itself is nicer than I expected; it looks unassuming on the outside but the inside is really bright and modern. It is located in a small plaza and there was plenty of parking when I went. Overall, I'm happy that I tried this place and will definitely return on the future to reorder the kim-bap and to try other items on the menu! read more

K Food Express saved the day for us. We were figuring out where to eat before hitting the road back to San Francisco. However, during the holidays, everywhere was so packed and we needed something yummy, filling, and no wait time. K Food Express helped with all that. Summary: Food: 8/10 rating Service: 10/10 rating Parking: 10/10 rating What we ordered: Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap: 9/10 rating Kimchi Fried Rice: 9/10 rating Garlic Butter Shrimp: 7-8/10 rating Gimmari (fried seaweed rolls): 10/10 rating **Food came with Eomuk/Oden (fish cake soup) - so good Considering this mom and pop shop is an express establishment, the food was so so yummy and filling. The food was made fresh to order and I LOVED how they were served in to-go containers already. It lived up to the name of the restaurant. The owners were so kind, sweet, and always smiling. It was so adorable. I loved that there was complimentary barley tea and you can get as much as you want. I wish they had soap in their bathrooms. read more

Tang 88 - Spicy pork and beef bulgogi kimbap - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

This place is so good! It has become one of our main go-to takeout places for some good high quality food. It's a nice little mom & pop shop, but their food is always on point. Their donkatsu is always light and crispy, and the presentation in their cup bops is always really nice. They're both super friendly and at this point recognize me when I come in for pickups. They used to close super early, around 6, and now they're open until 11, which is great when I crave their food for a late dinner. The only thing is they no longer sell their kim bap rolls, which were also really good. Maybe and hopefully they bring those back one day, but this spot is a must-try for the locals either way. read more

Tang 88 - Tonkatsu Cup Bop - Korean Near Me - Cerritos, California

I was in the area and stopped by for some authentic Korean food. Service was slow, but not a problem since this is a small mom n pop shop. The worker was really friendly. Donkatsu cup-bap: Delicious. It comes with japchae, kimchi, broccoli, and rice. The donkatsu was very crispy and I loved the sauce on it. Tteokbokki: Very simple with just rice cakes, fish cakes, and one egg. There was no green onions like shown in the picture on the menu. Spicy level was lightly mild. The sauce was too watery. I would skip this next time. Original Kim-Bap: Big portion and exactly what I wanted. The ingredients tasted fresh. It had just the right amount of everything. I was also given a small bowl of fish cake soup with my meal. The soup was hot and enjoyable. It was great to have on the side. read more

This is my spot for Korean comfort food Mom and pop shop that you do NOT want to miss. Everything is made fresh and to order, expect 15 minutes for pick up, but you can also eat inside. The owners so so insanely sweet, they take such care in prepping your food and you can absolutely taste it. Their chicken is never dry, their beef is always well seasoned, and their katsu is perfectly crispy and flakey. I love the chicken japchae, and katsu cup bap; both proteins are so tender, moist and flavorful. The katsu sauce is deadly addicting and I always try to get some in my rice. Not to mention the consistent presentation! It always looks delicious and I never take pictures because I end up eating it before I remember lol read more

This place is located in a deserted plaza so there's plenty of parking here lol. Walking in, I love how simple it is to order and eat here. Very casual just like ordering at a food court tbh. I was also debating eating either at the food court at The Source or trying this place out and THIS IS THE BETTER OPTION. The pricing is very reasonable here and just as well worth for what you order! The food court at the Source seems a bit pricier, but it's definitely more affordable here and they basically serve what you can order there. I came about almost to closing time (6pm) and I felt bad for eating there that late but the cashier was so sweet. It feels like this may be a family owned restaurant? The lady who was helping was also very kind and sweet. It feels like I was being cared for like family. Onto the entree, I ordered the Bulgogi cup bop which comes with rice, kimchi, broccoli, and japchae. The taste also feels VERY HOMEY. Everything about it was so nice. I really liked the japchae in this dish too. I would say that the bulgogi meat that they use feels like it's a bit on the fattier side? But the overall taste was really good. You also get a side of fish cake soup! All the staff here made this experience really wonderful and the food here was just as great. Let's support this business!! read more

Haiku: K Food Express Made fresh to order Come for kimbap and katsu Leave happy and full. --- I ordered take-out from this casual spot and was pleased to learn the food is made fresh to order. - Original Kimbap: The largest rolls I've ever seen. Stuffed with carrot, spinach, pickled radish, egg, burdock, and imitation crab meat. - Donkatsu Sandwich: A croissant sandwich with strips of fried pork and topped with cabbage slaw. The crispy croissant made the sandwich more elegant. - Fried Seaweed Roll: Utterly crispy outer shell stuffed with glass noodles. It'd be a more appealing dish if the glass noodles were also cooked with carrots and spinach for some color. Tip: Call to order ahead as food is made fresh to order and takes some time. read more
