Somunnan Korean Restaurant

Ordered a gam ja tang and after the first scoop, I found a strand of long hair on the meat. I called the guy at the check out counter and he was not genuinely apologetic. The dish was replaced eventually but the customer service was not there. Before I left, I asked him for some small containers to take the side dishes home that were already on my table, he was giving me the displeased look. Will definitely not go back to this place and urge others to do the same.

Incredible flavors and food and the service is so stellar. They were the kindest people I've met.

The women at the counter was extremely rude for no reason, I would not come back here

The cashier lady is rude. If she's someone that was hired, I'm not sure why not hire someone more better at customer service and keep the rude lady in the back or not working there at all
I wish there were potatoes in gamjatang because that seems like a main part of it when you have the dish in Korea

There’s a weekday lunch special for 12.99 with different item each day. Today was beef soup with clear noodles. Rice was just how I like it, firm and not soggy or mushy. Self service banchan/side dishes and water station. You also pick up your food when the food is ready and they’ll call your number. Felt like a station at a food court inside a mall, which is fine, especially if it keeps prices reasonable.

I love visiting restaurants where every dish tells the story of its culture authentic, flavorful, and absolutely delicious

hands down the best naengmyeon (cold noodles) I've had. I prefer to add a lot of vinegar and a touch of mustard inside which they have on the table.

You order and pay at the front and sit anywhere you like.

They also offer unlimited banchan (side dishes) that you get yourself. Usually have potato salad, kimchi, bean sprouts, fish cake strips, pickled cucumbers, tanmuji (yellow pickled radish).

The tteok-galbi is also very good if available as they do sell out later in the day. Their gamjatang isn't very good (even though it's part of their name lol). I wouldn't recommend ordering it - overall flavor wasn't that good, the meat had freezer burn and the portion was pretty small.

I'll always come back for the cold noodle though!!

What a great hidden gem. Delicious tasting Korean BBQ. Usually the side dishes are secondary to the meat but here the side dishes are wonderfully fresh and tasty. The staff is attentive and the owner was really friendly going so far as to share her cucumber recipenwith me. Also, I doubt you will find a better priced Korean BBQ anywhere in Southern California.

If you haven’t had Somunnan’s Army Stew yet, you’re missing out—it’s cozy, spicy, and so satisfying. Honestly, everything here is tasty. This place is one of my go-to Korean comfort food spots in Cerritos!

Have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now and finally got the chance to. First off staff were quick and friendly as soon as I arrived to pick up my order. I ordered the gam ja tang, it came with banchan and rice. The soup itself was really fulfilling and well portioned, the meat had at least four big bones of meat. Not to mention it was flavorful and the spice was perfect for me. Will be coming back for sure and definitely recommend it to anyone..

Somunnan Korean Restaurant was ok. The soup was ok. I should have asked for additional seasoning as it was too bland for my taste. The AYCE banchan was pretty good.

Good Korean food. Ordered sundae (blood sausage) and gom tang. Nothing extraordinary but exactly what I expected and wanted. The broth was very flavorful.
