I thought this place was delicious! Not busy on a Sunday and plenty of parking available. Service was quick and nice. Food was DELICIOUS. I was a little concerned coming in and not seeing many customers but don't let that turn you away! Food came out quickly and it was so good. Opted for the soondaeguk and it was loaded with soondae and the other innards. Banchan was really good as well. They did raise their prices by $1 but I would come back read more

Came in for dinner around 8:20; they close at 9 and we were told last call was in a few minutes. We placed our orders right away; I ordered the ox tail soup. Side dishes came out a few minutes after ordering - fish cake, kim chi, radishes, bean sprouts, and tofu. Our food came out very quickly as well, a few minutes after the side dishes. We were asked to pay the check when the food came, since they were closing in half an hour. We ended up speed-eating our food and finished in about 15-20 minutes; they started cleaning up all the tables so we felt quite rushed. The meal itself was a smaller portion. Some meat and a small handful of noodles. Not sure if it's always that small, or if it was because we came before closing. We made it out right before closing time, and there were still other customers sitting when we left. Overall, food was decent and service was quick. Maybe just allot an hour or so before closing to visit! read more

I had a very disappointing experience here today. I came in to pick up a takeout order, and everything seemed fine at first. I checked my food, paid, and signed the receipt. Since this was a takeout order, I did not leave a tip, which should not affect the level of basic customer service. However, after noticing that I did not add a tip, the staff member's attitude visibly changed. When handing me the food, they placed it down abruptly without saying a word and walked away with an obvious negative expression. The difference in behavior before and after seeing the receipt was very noticeable and unprofessional. Tipping for takeout is optional, not mandatory. Customers should not be treated poorly or made to feel uncomfortable simply because they chose not to tip on a takeout order. Professionalism and basic courtesy should be consistent regardless of tipping. This experience left a very bad impression, and I hope management takes this seriously and addresses how customers are treated. read more

Tang is an OG Korean soup spot with a no-frills 90's vibe, and by 90's I mean the decor and food hasn't changed much since then! Tang is known for their spicy pork soup and soondae soup offerings. Note: you can order the pork soup without the offal aka funk parts so it's just sliced pork belly. Heavy on the flavor and seasonings here and to be honest, a little heavy on the pork funk as well. Nothing a little soju won't solve! They also have a weekday special on soju bottles (buy 2 get one) for the not so faint of heart. Tang is reliable and relatively unchanged, so jump in your 90's Hyundai Excel Time Machine and head on over here for some authentic and tasty Korean eats.. read more

I was craving something soupy so we ordered lunch here for takeout. I ordered the galbitang (beef short rib soup) which comes with glass noodle. The beef ribs were decent, though kind of wish they were easy melt off the bone. Flavor was decent, broth was pretty good. My hubby ordered the yukgae jang (spicy beef broth soup) which comes with glass noodle. The broth was flavorful, and there were plenty of veggies. My hubby liked that it wasn't too salty like other places. Overall, prices are decent. I was pleased to see that everything was packaged and boxed nicely, so you won't need to worry about soup "spilling." I only wish they had more variety of side dishes/ban chan besides just the daikon and kimchi. They accept credit cards and there's plenty of parking read more

Highly Recommended: Spicy Pork Belly Soup (Maeun Dwaeji Gukbap) If you love bold, comforting food, you have to try the Spicy Pork Belly Soup. It's incredibly flavorful, rich, and deeply satisfying. The spicy pork bone broth is slow-simmered to perfection, giving it a deep, savory taste that warms you up from the inside out. The tender pork belly melts in your mouth, and when paired with rice, every bite feels hearty and comforting. Beyond the taste, this dish is also known for its nutritional benefits. Pork bone broth is rich in collagen and minerals, which can support joint health and gut digestion. It's also a great energy booster--Koreans often eat this kind of soup to recover from fatigue, cold weather, or long days. For American food lovers who enjoy ramen, pho, or other hearty soups, this is a must-try Korean comfort food. Spicy, nourishing, and incredibly addictive--I highly recommend it! read more

Despite giving both red and white kimchi while dining in person, the white kimchi will always be my favorite. The white kimchi is not spicy, but still has the hallmark vinegar taste with the crunch I've come to expect. This place is very generous with the kimchi- don't be afraid to ask for another small plate of kimchi! This place has a modern vibe, with the beige and white tones. The tables themselves are equipped with a pull-out drawer than includes spoons, chopsticks, and napkins. This allows for quick efficiency when getting seated!

We order so much stuff that it doesn't all fit in this little table. Last time we were there we asked to be seated in a slightly bigger table and they said no because that was for a party of 3-4 people so.

My recent dinner at Tang Fullerton was an absolute delight, a standout experience that showcased the best of Korean cuisine complemented by unparalleled service. The moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with genuine smiles and an attentive team ready to make our evening special. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for a cozy dinner or a festive gathering. The Boosam was a highlight of our meal - succulent pork belly that was tender and flavorful, served with an array of fresh, perfectly seasoned sides. It was a dish that celebrated the simplicity and richness of Korean flavors, executed with precision. However, the Soondae Tang stole the show for me. This traditional soup was a comforting embrace in a bowl, with its rich broth, tender soondae, and depth of flavor that spoke to the skill of the chefs at Tang Fullerton. Every bite at Tang Fullerton was a testament to the care and passion that goes into their food. Alongside the exceptional dishes, the service was attentive without being intrusive, making us feel well-cared-for throughout our meal. Tang Fullerton is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary destination that offers an authentic Korean dining experience paired with service that makes you feel like family. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in beautifully crafted Korean cuisine. read more

Visiting Tang Fullerton was an experience that truly stood out, thanks to their exceptional service and culinary delights. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like VIPs, with their attentive and friendly service that catered to our every need. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and comfortable, setting the perfect stage for a memorable meal. The Bosam at Tang Fullerton was a culinary masterpiece, with tender, flavorful pork belly that was expertly prepared and melted in your mouth. It was complemented by fresh, crisp sides that added a delightful crunch and freshness to each bite. However, the dish that left a lasting impression was the Soondae Tang. This soup was a comforting bowl of goodness, with rich, deep flavors that warmed the soul. The blood sausage was cooked to perfection, adding a unique and delicious twist that made the dish stand out. Tang Fullerton has certainly set a high bar for Korean cuisine, balancing traditional flavors with impeccable service. It's a place where food and hospitality create a perfect harmony, making every visit a fantastic dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic taste of Korea with a side of warm hospitality. read more

Visited Tang today with my son and had such a comforting meal. I ordered the spicy Sundaeguk, my son had the Ddukbaegi Bulgogi, and we also shared a plate of dumplings. Everything was delicious and satisfying. For me, Sundaeguk is one of those true soul foods that gives comfort and energy, especially on a long day. The broth here was rich, deep, and hearty with a really nice savory flavor, and the spicy version had just the right kick without overpowering the soup itself. You can tell they took time developing the broth. The Ddukbaegi Bulgogi came out sizzling hot and flavorful, and the dumplings paired perfectly with the meal. The side dishes were fresh and the Korean ladies working there were very kind and attentive, always checking in and happily refilling the banchan. That warm, homestyle service made the experience even better. Parking was easy with no issues at all, which is always a plus. Prices are somewhere in the middle -- not especially cheap, but not overpriced either -- and the quality and portions made it feel worth it. If you're looking for a comforting Korean meal with friendly service and satisfying traditional flavors, Tang is definitely worth visiting. read more

The disappointment extended beyond the taste of the food; the service left much to be desired as well. I ordered a soup-based dish, only to discover a fly within the broth. Initially, I requested a refund politely over the phone, but they were uncooperative, and they refrained from apologizing until I pressed them to do so. Ultimately, I found myself visiting the restaurant in person with the food in hand to secure a refund. However, their response was unexpected, as they shifted blame onto me for potentially losing another customer due to my complaint. They returned the money without offering an apology. Their attitude of withholding an apology until prompted was truly dissatisfying and left me with a feeling of discomfort. I strongly advise against considering this restaurant as an option. Furthermore, the taste of the food was also negatively affected by an off-putting smell of pork. read more

II recently dined at Tang Fullerton and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and attentive service, making me feel welcomed and valued. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Soondae Tang - a flavorful and comforting Korean blood sausage soup that was both rich and savory, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Every spoonful was a delightful journey through authentic Korean cuisine, and it made me appreciate the culinary expertise behind Tang Fullerton's menu. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the charm, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and would highly recommend Tang Fullerton to anyone in search of exquisite Korean dishes and top-notch service. read more

Tang served some of the most legit Korean food I've had in Orange County. The flavors tasted authentic and balanced, and honestly felt close to eating in Korea. Every dish came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. You can tell they care more about the food quality than trying to make things flashy. Their pork rice soup was honestly better than most Korean restaurants. And as a Korean, I approve! The side dishes were legit too. The service was okay, which honestly felt pretty standard for a busy Korean restaurant. Nothing over the top, but the food easily made up for it. If you want authentic Korean comfort food in Fullerton, this spot is absolutely worth trying. read more

My experience at this restaurant was infuriating. The staff were rude, dismissive, and uninterested in providing any customer service. They repeatedly pressured us to order more while we were still eating, gave us dirty looks, and made loud, rude comments. The food was also terrible, and I've had severe diarrhea since eating there. This was the worst dining experience I've ever had. Avoid this place at all costs. The management needs to rethink their approach and retrain their staff. read more

Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. The food was mediocre overall. I ordered the cold noodles, which didn't hit the mark for me--maybe it was a poor choice on my part, but they lacked flavor and depth. The soondae gook was okay, but nothing special. On a positive note, the server was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. Despite the mediocre meal, I might come back to try other dishes, hoping for a better experience next time. read more

The Gamjatang here was fantastic!…read more The broth was rich, deeply flavorful, and perfectly seasoned without being overly salty--a sign of the time and care that goes into preparing it. The pork neck bones were tender, meaty, and practically falling off the bone, while the potatoes were cooked just right and soaked up all that delicious broth. What stood out most was the balance of flavors. The perilla leaves, green onions, and other ingredients added wonderful aroma and depth without overpowering the hearty pork broth. It had the comforting, authentic Korean flavor that makes Gamjatang such a satisfying dish. The Garden Grove location is the original, longtime location, though it seems the Buena Park location may soon become the primary one. Either way, if you enjoy Korean food, I highly recommend giving the Gamjatang a try. It's the kind of dish that leaves you already looking forward to your next visit.

When I walked in, the staff was hard at work making and packaging a huge order for an event, so it took a little while before I could place my order. Luckily, I saw the Spam Kimbap and Family Kimbap already packaged and ready to go, so I was quick to grab those! I also love that they wrap their kimbap in foil--it feels so nostalgic and reminds me of the way kimbap is traditionally packed for picnics and outings. Once the staff finished up the large order, I was also able to order the Spicy Squid Kimbap and Tuna Kimbap. My favorites were definitely the Family Kimbap and Spicy Squid Kimbap. The Family Kimbap is your classic kimbap filled with egg, carrots, spinach, yellow radish, and imitation crab. Simple, but so good! The Spicy Squid Kimbap definitely had a kick to it, and I especially loved the chewy texture and flavor of the seasoned dried squid. The Spam and Tuna Kimbap were good as well, but the Family and Spicy Squid were the standouts for me. Each kimbap also comes with a complimentary cup of fish cake broth (sans the actual fish cake), which is such a nice addition. And I really loved their tteokbokki! The sauce wasn't overly sweet or too spicy--and the rice cakes had that perfect chewy, bouncy texture. They were also very generous with the fish cakes, which I appreciated. I'm definitely coming back whenever my kimbap and tteokbokki cravings hit!

You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I'd start. The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything. That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you're hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you're convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter. The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want. Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That's preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down. The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing. The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job. Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you're seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef's table at the restroom, but here we are. Somehow I don't particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn't polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines. Absolutely coming back. And next time, I'm getting that bibimbap again.

Anyhow, the food is REALLY (and I mean REALLY) delcious, all made in a classic traditional way. Some items are even best in class! I had the following: - Pickled cucumbers in red sauce (vinegared, sweet n savory) - Stir fried mini anchovies with walnuts - Pickled aged cucumber that is seasoned (oyee muchim) All three items were so delish. So if you are craving mom's cooking, definitely stop by to get your fix. The pricing though is kind of high about 30% - 40% higher than what you would expect to pay, b/c the portions are also kinda small. You just have to think of it as gourmet pricing. When I brought it up, she said there are customers who come that don't have a problem or don't mind the pricing. For example a tofu miso soup (small single portion) was about $13 - If you were to goto a Korean restaurant for about $3 more, you get rice, unlimited side dishes, etc. She explained the quality ingredients, it has meat, etc. There was a beautifully grilled fish (Yellow Corvina) that I wanted to get but it was priced $13/each. - Similarly, if you goto a Korean restaurant, you get 6 banchans, rice, side soup, etc. and 3 pcs of fish for about $30.00 - So might not be the best value but due to quality ingredients, may be worth it to pay The lady knew I was kind of price sensitive so she allowed me to get a refund on squid dup bap (saying it does not have many squid pieces, but cooked mixed with veggies). - I was grateful to her, it was very considerate Their are not too friendly, kind of aloof, no welcome / greeting when I walked in and was looking around for awhile. - Left me feeling sad because they warmly greeted other people (non-Koreans).

I've been here a couple of times now, and overall, I'd say it's just okay. The atmosphere is pretty much an older Korean-style bar. Nothing too special, but it has that familiar late-night Korean spot feel. The service was a bright spot though. The server was very friendly both times, which I appreciated. For me, the main issue is the food. I've been here twice, and I honestly can't think of anything I tried that I would call really good. The second time, I came after playing tennis with friends, and we ordered fried oysters, garlic chicken wings, and golbaengi muchim. I didn't touch the fried oysters because before we even ordered, someone mentioned that the oysters here can sometimes taste too fishy. I'm not a huge oyster person to begin with, so that was enough for me to pass. The garlic chicken wings were also just okay. The chicken itself was pretty basic, but the garlic sauce didn't really blend well with it. It felt like I was eating chicken and garlic separately, rather than one balanced dish. The golbaengi muchim was probably the most unusual one for me. They add dried pollack inside, which I normally like, but it didn't work well in this dish. Every time I bit into the dried pollack, it felt more like chewing paper than eating something that belonged with the spicy sea snail salad. I can see why some Korean friends might come here for nostalgia or because it's one of the few late-night Korean bar options in the area, but personally, the food just hasn't worked for me. The service was friendly, and the place itself was fine for a casual Korean bar, but the food didn't stand out on either visit. The price also felt pretty high for what we got. On my second visit, three dishes and a few sodas came out to around $120, which made it harder for me to understand why people specifically choose this spot.
