One of the best Korean beef bone broth soup in town. Price is reasonable ($16.55) and all the side dishes tasted homemade. It gets very busy during lunch hour. Service was excellent.
Parking is free is the shared parking lot.
Highly recommend.

Went to K spa and then here for lunch. It was conveniently located in the same plaza. Food was decent and we had a great time eating and chatting away. The only complaint might be its value? For the price we paid (each dish was about $18 plus tax and tip) the portion wasn't that big.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience at this restaurant was deeply disappointing and needs to be addressed. While the food itself was average and service time reasonable, the issue began when it came time to pay.
When I asked for the check, the server initially brought over a handwritten slip on yellow paper with no itemized pricing, no taxes, and no transparency—just a vague summary of what we ordered. I requested a proper receipt showing detailed pricing, and when she returned with it, I noticed the listed price for a regular Sul Lung Tang was $16.55—despite the menu stating it was approximately $16.24.
I politely questioned the discrepancy, and the server’s response was completely unacceptable. She admitted they adjusted the prices in their system because they “didn’t want to deal with coins” and had “too many pennies.” In other words, they are rounding prices up on every customer without disclosing it—and pocketing the difference.
This is not only misleading and unprofessional, but it’s borderline unethical. Customers should never be charged more than what is listed on the menu, especially without notice. And to still ask for a tip after knowingly overcharging patrons? That’s a serious red flag.
I hope management sees this and reconsiders both its pricing practices and the training of its staff. Transparency and honesty are the bare minimum in customer service—and unfortunately, that was missing during my visit.

The worker was rude, so I paid and left without finishing the seolleongtang.

Food is OK but service is really bad. The ahjumma has no good manners… go to yong dong or I hope other seollongtang restaurants comes next door!

I'm sorry, the chicken gomtang is so, so, so tasteless. I just put the chicken in plain water.

일하는 아줌마가 짠돌이에요. We spent almost $80 and she refused to give extra onion. The service is garbage but the food is great and the only reason I support this place is because my parents like the taste.
Ordered bibimpabap, seollong tang and mandu guk. All the dishes were great. The dumplings were homemade and huge. It's clean inside and the lady was nice.

Although the food menu is not extensive, the restaurant is famous for its delicious food. Korean hangover soup is probably the best in the OC area. It may be a very simple food, but it has a rich taste and a good feel. In Korea, having soup and a glass of soju with friends is a small culture.

One of the best places to go and my go-to place for Korean soup! They have simple banchans but they really hit the spot!

I've lived in OC for a long time, but I think my mother-in-law's restaurant on Beach Road is the cleanest and has the best variety of soups.

Jang Mo Jib (장모집), which translates to "the house of the mother-in-law," has consistently exceeded my expectations. Their Kimchi and 깍두기 (radish kimchi) are consistently fresh and delicious. In Korea, there's a saying that the quality of Kimchi determines the overall quality of the food, and I've always enjoyed the consistently delicious taste of Kimchi prepared by Jang Mo Jib. On this visit, I opted for the ox knee and tendon soup (도가니탕) for health reasons, while my sister ordered the chicken noodle soup (닭칼국수) along with a dumpling plate (만두 접시). The portion of the chicken noodle soup was incredibly generous, and we couldn't finish it all, so we had leftovers to enjoy later. The meal was satisfyingly filling.
Very delicious, good quality
