선지 해장국 Beef Blood Hangover Soup
Cathy N.

A cozy Korean restaurant serving your stews and hot dishes perfect for a rainy or cold day. Majority of the items are in Korean but you can use photos or google translate if needed. There were two ladies working: one to take your order or refill your banchan and one in the kitchen cooking. Although there was a language barrier, both ladies were very nice. One refilled our fish cake and kimchi when we asked. This meal was perfect for two people who wanted a light dinner! There's also extra salt and pepper at the tables if you would like more seasoning to your dishes. We will be back to try the spicy pork neck bone stew. You also have the option to order take out if dining in isn't your preference.

$15 weekday lunch special - soondae guk
Karen C.

I love my Korean soups so I'm always on the lookout to try new Korean soup spots. As soon as a Korean colleague recommended this spot for its authentic dishes, I knew a visit was overdue! Also, they have a $15 weekday lunch special for certain soups and if I had a big appetite, I would have ordered one of each HAHAHA. This is located in the Amerige Heights plaza and is on the same side of the plaza as 88 Katsu and Dookki. Around 11:30ish on a weekday, it was relatively easy to find parking. There's plenty of seating inside. We were able to be seated immediately. I like that they give you barley tea instead of just the typical water. The servers may not speak perfect English but at least their menu has photos and english translation, so don't be hesitant in trying them out. I was craving something comforting and I was feeling adventurous, so I went for the Soondae Guk, which consists of Korean blood sausage, intestines, stomach, etc. I personally love eating those so this was not a challenge for me. You can choose between non-spicy or spicy, just make sure to let them know when you order if they forget to ask. I was super delighted when it came out because they packed so much stuff in my soup!! Don't forget to flavor your soup with some salt that they have set aside. If you use the shrimp paste, just be aware that it's extremely salty. You can add it to the broth or put some on your rice. My other coworkers got the Yukgae Jang as she was craving something more flavorful and spicy, and the portions were very generous! The Pork Belly soup looked quite comforting as well. The server was constantly on the lookout and made sure to refill any side dishes that we wanted. Our group loved the fish cakes and pickled radish. I definitely need to be back before the $15 lunch special is over, gotta try them all!

Excellent!! Must try. Highly recommend ..... this is authentic Korean soup. You must absolutely try this.

Food

I love it here. Very friendly place and good food. Came here with my friends and they all love it. Come here for good food and service.

Came here for the lunch special, and it's a steal for these days. $15 for a big bowl of noodle soup with sides. You can't go wrong with that these days. It's a cute restaurant on the inside, and I nerded out for the tables. There is a drawer at each table with all your utensils you need in there. Very carefully placed, and it just made my experience much better just seeing that. The food was delicious. The Yukgae Jung was packed and very hearty. It is definitely the bang for your buck in terms of quantity. The Seolleong Tang was a light broth that makes you feel very warm. My wife enjoyed it a lot. Overall, I loved it here. I would love to come back and try other dishes or even their dinner menu.

Banchan
Eileen L.

I wanted to give this place 5 stars but I'm not really sure if I'd really be coming back too often. The food was really good! A very home-y mom n pop type of shop! My friend ordered the special pork belly soup and I ordered the ox knee soup! The banchan was really good as well! my friend loved the fish cake and my fave was the kimchi that's was perfectly fresh and spicy! Portions for the pork belly soup was good but the ox knee soup was lacking a little bit of meat in my opinion. When we asked for a container to pack some of the banchan home they didn't let us. We thought that was such a waste of food and we only asked for a refill on some banchan once so we weren't really being greedy with the banchan :c

It just taste so good that our family visit here at least once a month. My daughter calls this place the tasty kimchi place.

Doganitang
Sandy L.

Solid Korean restaurant that sells a variety of soups and stews! They are very generous with the banchan and have great service as well. The soups were hearty and very filling. The blood sausage was good as well. Tons of parking space!

Jan L.

Coming here reminds me of the good old days when the food was real, the menu is all in Korean and the nice waitresses speak mostly only Korean... then the panchan and food arrive in efficient manner and my soul as well as my tummy is satisfied. So happy to have discovered this place... my galbi tang was excellent - savory, meaty with plenty of rice and bone broth goodness! Also ordered the mandu which were the huge round-shaped ones... tasty, plump and juicy! We will definitely be back!

육개장 Spicy Beef and Vegetable Soup (Yukgaejang)
Joyce P.

Really great korean comfort food, I went in during lunch to grab a bite. They have a lunch special $14.99 with a set menu includes mostly hot soups and cold noodles (Naenmyeon). I got the Yukgaejang and my friend got the Naenmyeon. Yukgaejang was slightly spicy with shredded brisket, egg and bracken fern (Gosari). It also came with glass noodles and a bowl of rice. The portions are big, I saved half for leftovers. The Barley Tea is refreshing and light perfect to the meal. The Banchan was pleasant, the kimchi is a good tell and it didn't disappoint. Not too fermented but not super fresh where the marinade didn't seep through. The radish, fish cakes, bean sprouts were average. Staff and service were really quick on taking orders and delivering the food within a couple of minutes.

So Good~~~~~ The food is so delicious. This is a place I definitely want to visit again. The sundae-guk (blood sausage soup) tastes amazing, and the galbi-tang (short rib soup) is also really good!

돼지국밥 Pork Belly Soup
Earl G.

I enjoyed the pork belly soup here since it was so clean in the beginning, but can be more umami as the meal goes on using salted fermented shrimp. There was a good amount of pork belly, heart, and intestine that made the dish very filling. Their Banchan was fresh as well and I really enjoyed their fish cake and tofu. Great spot for soup on a cold day!

Spicy Galbi Jim
Connor L.

This place was great! I got the spicy galbi-jim, which was rich with flavor. As someone who has had many korean foods before, this place had a wide diversity of korean foods compared to other places. The service was also very kind and swift with the making of the food. The ambiance here was nice too!

Baro Gimbap - Seriously THE BEST KIMBAP IN SOCAL!!! A great value at $9. Amazing!!!!

Baro Gimbap

I think I may have finally found my favorite banchan place! I needed to find fresh, tasty, quality…read morebanchans for an upcoming Korean celebration. I've tried many other places and was dissatisfied BUT the banchans at Baro Gimbap were all excellent! They were fresh, very flavorful and well balanced, not overpowering. I bought the seasoned dried radish, potato salad, edible green (Sigeumchi-namul) this was earthy and different than the usual way it's made, but so good, and Maneul-jong (green garlic stems). The containers were packed so I think it's worth the price. I also got gobo (burdock) gimbap and also very good, loaded and flavorful. I hope the owners will continue making quality food and not begin to cut corners when they get too popular. I will gladly pay more $ for good food

Yelp reviewers, prove me right or wrong. You can be free to call me to the carpet in your own…read morereviews. I've been here twice during the last 3 weeks. The food is truly outstanding. I tried the following over the two visits, both to go and shared with family. We were all excited about it at the time: Gobo Kimbap Bulgogi Kimbap Spicy Pork Kimbap Spicy Chewy Cold Noodle Perilla Oil Mixed Noodle Original Tteokbokki Pork Cutlet My personal favorites were the kimbaps along with the Cold Spicy Chewy Noodles. The spice level was great, the sauce was high quality, and the noodles were cooked so perfectly. So why the low 2-stars on this review? On one hand, I feel bad about giving the rating. However, the truth is the service and attitude are THAT bad. Short of being cussed-out-bad. The food is so damn good. But my 2 stars should actually be 1 star... That's how horrid the attitude is. On my first visit, I was taking time to read the menu and see everything they had... The dining area was full, but no one was in line behind me. After 1 minute of me reading the menu, older lady sitting at the order table was really impatient. She wanted me to hurry up and order. I asked her if the spicy chewy cold noodle came in a combo. She gruffly said no, was irritated and sighed and pointed up at the wall menu. No joke or overdramatic description here. She spoke and pointed as if I was an idiot and couldn't read. So I just ordered, waited 25 minutes for my food. She gruffly handed my food to me and said a disingenuous gruff "thank you" in Korean with a scowl. Since the food was so good and my family wanted to try again, I went back the following week. My wife told me to take the high road and get over the lady. So I returned to order other items. Same lady was there, and same freaking attitude. I hate to not support what looks like an independent family business, especially in California where I know firsthand how difficult it is to operate a business which is further exacerbated by inflation and poor attitudes of consumers in general. Everyone's road raging, got a hot temper, ready to start a confrontation, complain about high prices and then give a 1 star review. Sorry everyone, but I'm really telling the truth here. You should definitely come try the food, but I'll never return again to try their admittedly delicious food. The interior decor is well-done. It has style, is nice and bright. The owners decided to maximize the small space. I don't blame them for doing that, but you should know it's definitely cramped. If you're claustrophobic, on a crowded day this place might get to you. This eatery is in a small strip mall. The parking lot got maxed out both times I visited. The immediate street in the area that allows parking had no space because it's high density, and the other parts of the streets near it are red zoned. Since there was no immediate parking available, I parked about two blocks away in a residential area, just past a church. I walked the roughly two blocks to get the food, and walked back to my car. It beat the stress of trying to maneuver inside the crowded parking lot. Again, I'm never going to return even as a Korean American myself. If you're willing to get through all the above, the food is DELICIOUS. I've already done the foodie miniature version of Lord of the Rings. I've traveled to Mount Doom and made it out twice with kimbaps, noodles and a cutlet. It's now all a memory that I've memorialized for you in this Yelp review. "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." -- Gandalf

The service wasn't that good. We weren't given physical menus, so used the QR code menu on the table, which turned out to be outdated and had incorrect pricing. We also received our bean sprouts and pho toppings quite late. A table that had just been seated received theirs before we did, which was a bit frustrating. There's limited seating inside, so expect a wait during busy times. Inside is loud and lively. Overall, the broth was good, but the service, outdated menu, and delayed toppings made the experience less enjoyable.
