15 Best Soup in Buena Park

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Tasty food, great atmosphere!“

“Tang in Buena Park is a gem for delicious Korean comfort food. Their soups and stews arrive piping hot with rich and authentic flavors. The portions are generous, and every dish feels like home-cooked (just a little more intense flavor). The signature soups are very good. They also wrap the large mandu in house and give very generous filling. Server can speak Korean, English and Chinese!“

“Very authentic Korean restaurant!!

We ordered the spicy braised short ribs, seafood onion pancake and beef soup. The spicy braised short ribs is so flavorful, it comes with radish and rice cake. The beef soup reminds you in Korea, no MSG! And the seafood onion pancake is huge, good to share. Their banchan also changes everyday!

The service is friendly and many old diners and family in the restaurant- that’s how you know it’s a legit place! There’s dinner rush so come early

Overall if you are looking for authentic Korean food this is the place!“

“Service was top notch tonight“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“We stopped by the Olive Garden in Buena Park for dinner and had a really great experience overall — definitely a 5 out of 5 for me.

The food was awesome. I didn’t really like the chicken gnocchi soup, though — something about the texture just didn’t sit right with me. Not sure what it was exactly, but it didn’t have the same appeal as everything else. That said, the never-ending salad was so good. Super fresh and crisp, and they brought out plenty of it.

Our server was really sweet, even though she accidentally forgot my Dr. Pepper at first. I mentioned it, and she apologized and comped the drink, which I thought was a really thoughtful gesture. Big points for how she handled that!

There was no wait at all when we arrived (just the two of us), and we got seated at a booth right away. It was clean, quiet inside, and honestly a really comfortable vibe. I’d say it’s not necessary to make a reservation, at least based on our visit, but it probably depends on the day since I’m not local.

The parking lot was a little sketchy, especially later in the evening — we heard a couple of people yelling at each other out there, which was kind of unsettling, but once inside, it was calm and welcoming.

We spent about $10 to $20 per person, which felt super fair for the amount of food and service we got.

Overall: great service, great food (minus that one soup), and I’d definitely come back again if I’m in the area.“

“Ig: socalhkfoodies

authentic but morden Korean food experience🇰🇷🍚❤️

The decor mixes old traditional style with modern touches — like a cool robot server that feels very futuristic.
The food is really authentic, especially the sizzling rice, tofu soup, and galbi. 😋
We ordered 3 combos, and people of all ages really enjoyed them!“

“Love this place.
It's hard to find quality food like this, even in Korean. This is real authentic soul food for Koeeans. The meats are very tender, and broth is savory. No wonder there always is a waiting line. It really worth to wait.
I really want them to expand this location.
Good luck to your business.“

“I really love Korean-style cold noodles (naengmyeon), and if a place makes their own noodles, I’m always willing to try it. The noodles here were excellent in texture, but the broth was lacking in depth and flavor. While this isn’t a naengmyeon specialty restaurant, if they’re going to keep it on the menu, it might be worth putting a bit more care into the broth. Honestly, the soy-marinated pork ribs and other dishes might be a better choice here than the naengmyeon.

I visited again after a long time and ate soft tofu, cold noodles, and grilled pork ribs in soy sauce. Sundubu is similar in every restaurant, but Korean-style naengmyeon gets high marks because the noodles are made directly . It is not easy to make noodles yourself using a noodle machine. In Korea, only famous cold noodle restaurants make noodles themselves.

The pork ribs were delicious as they had no smell, the meat was soft, and there was a lot of it. The staff were especially friendly, so I didn't regret giving them a tip.

These days, it's hard to eat in a world where tips are so expensive. It's been a while since I've been back, but I always want to visit this restaurant.“

“전반적으로 한국의 죠스떡볶이와 바르다 김선생과 같이 퀄리티와 위생에 신경쓰시는 노력이 너무 잘 보여지네요! 김밥과 떡볶이 분식들 모두 만족하고 먹고 갑니다. 더 대박나시길 바랄게요 :)“

“I stopped by this place during lunch hour, I was recommended th Gamja Tang Lunch special by the waitress how seem to primarily speak Korean (good sign the food is legit).The plate was huge and it came in with plenty of little side dishes, as you can see on the picture.Price was super affordable for all the food I was served.This is the first time I've tried this specific plate, but based on pure taste buds, the food was great and I would love to come back to try the rest of the menu.“

“Ordered the duck. The medium size should be fine for 3 to 4 adults. I only had one other person with me and the portion was quite large for just the two of us. It was cooked well and comes with rice plus the usual banchans or korean side dishes. I would definitely order it again.It's in a small plaza but parking wasn't too difficult.“

“First time visiting The Source and the menu of this fast food restaurant in the 3rd floor food court immediately caught my eye. I ordered the steak tartare and it was one of the best things I ate during my short visit here. It’s a large bowl of seasoned julienned beef that is eaten over rice and bean sprouts. It comes with a small container of Kimchee and a seasoning sauce. There’s also a bowl of soup (miso?) on the side. The soup is a little bland but the steak tartare is absolutely full of flavor and delicious. If I lived here and could come to The Source regularly, I’d order this all the time!Service was quick. I was given a pager when I ordered but my food was ready in less than 3 mins. Restaurant is in a food court so the atmosphere is casual and energetic. Just find a place to sit and enjoy the delicious food.“

“I stopped by on Friday for a quick pho fix and ordered the Pho Filet Mignon and the Vermicelli Noodle Bowl. As a Vietnamese person, this isn’t the best pho I’ve ever had, but it definitely hit the spot and satisfied my craving. What really stood out was the service. The sweet and attentive server made me feel so welcome, almost like a motherly figure who could tell it was my first time there.

As someone who used to work in the restaurant industry as a server, I really admire how she juggled all the tables on her own during a busy rush. It’s clear she genuinely cares about each diner, even under pressure. That’s why I encourage fellow customers to show empathy and patience. Great service like hers deserves appreciation. If you're in the Buena Park area and need a comforting bowl of pho, this spot is worth a visit!“
