“I got the chicken and beef plate. I waited for about 5 minutes and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size when it came out. Everything was fresh and tasted great! Definitely one of the best budget friendly Asian fusion spots I’ve been to. Worth its money big time!”

“I was visiting the area and decided to check out the LBX Hangar. I was in the mood for something different and saw Marinate. I was told the bulgogi burrito is popular, so I tried it. And it was the best burrito I have ever had ... ever. The meat was so tender and flavorful. I love that it had vegetables so I could pretend it was healthy. I don't live in the area but every time I am in Long Beach, I plan to stop by.”

“I've been going to Maria'a since I was a kid. My parents, when they arrived to the US from Mexico would go there and so did my aunts and uncles and cousins. Now I take my kids to eat there. The restaurant has always been the same with great quality food and great service. Maria's restaurant is a gem in the community and will hopefully be there for many more generations. Don't sleep on this place, give it a try.”

“New restaurant with amazing ambiance and creativity in the Korean-Italian fusion. We had a Galbi meatball plate, Clam oil pasta, claypot carbonara pasta, and super-addicting plate of fries with galbi mayo and furikake To us it’s better than Korean food by itself or Italian food by itself. Selfishly hesitant to write a review to draw more people, but they deserve it - it’ll attract long lines over time anyway.”

“I am so surprised this place is not more popular. Almost happy this is the case, because there hasn’t been a line every time we have come in, but the food is THE best Korean food. Their Bossam is on point! Highly highly recommend . Super fresh and delicious and all their side dishes and sauces are made in house and absolutely delicious!”

“Used the app to order and it was ready by the time I drove over to pick it up. Parking was an issue and I had to park on the street and walk over to the restaurant. Glad to receive points as the closer location doesn’t provide points which is odd because you can order on the app from that location and the app even says “you’ll receive points for this order” and you don’t.”

“A clearly family run delicious soup restaurant that have been several times. The seollungtang rivals that of hanbat without having to go all the way to korea town and they serve other things which i always wanted from hanbat. Their bossam is great with raw nappa which i love and the haegaengguk which also has saved me post a hard night. Highly underrated korea restaurant”

“The kimchi pork bone soup (medium, $53) was the star here. The flavor is mild and not spicy at all, and the portion was big enough for two of us to be full. With a $3 noodle add-on, the total came to $61.74 with tax, which felt fair for the amount of food. The dining room is clean and roomy, and the menu goes beyond gamjatang, with things like pork cutlet and a $15 weekday lunch special. They bring out a lot of side dishes, more than we could finish, so I would happily trade a few for a free noodle add-on. Still, I would go back for that kimchi pork bone soup.”

“We ordered a set each and the seafood pancake to share. The seafood pancake is always a standout dish, very delicious and crispy, it's fried but not oily at all and packed with seafood! Definitely a good dish to share. I ordered the soybean paste stew with the boiled pork combo and the pork was so tender and soup was very flavorful! The side dishes are also so good, the kimchi is always the perfect amount of fermented and sides are the perfect amount of seasoned. We always come to this restaurant when we are in town, been coming for a couple years now and will happily continue to patronize this establishment. You should try it if you are looking for an authentic, homey, korea food restaurant and there is usually no wait, the aunties serving you are very kind and offer fast service!”

“Best place to get authentic cheonggukjang in Orange County. I've been coming for what feels like over a decade and the taste never changed. The restaurant does have a strong fermented bean paste smell but if you want authentic cheonggukjang, it has to smell like this. If a place that sells cheonggukjang does not have a smell, it you will get tasteless 'watered down' version of the soup. Plus is the smell is not as over powering as it used to be way back when but the taste is still the same.”

“Solid, reliable Korean eatery specializing in stews. This is nearly a trusty stop for lunch after an evening of drinks and staying out later than usual. I’m a fan of the spicy beef broth w noodles (pasta) - it looks volcanic spicy but it’s more on the savory side. Have been coming here for some time now and the food is consistent and the service always quick/efficient. Recommend giving it a try if you’re in the mood for a stew/soup. The dumplings are solid as an app.”

“Lately, I’ve been very into kimbap. However, I can be pretty picky about it in terms of what’s inside. There’s sooooo many options for what kind of kimbap you want. For me, I’m really into the beef kimbap. Kimbap Paradise has the best beef kimbap, in my opinion. The restaurant is located in Torrance, super close to my home. It’s in a busy shopping center so there’s plenty of parking. I easily just call in my order and pick it up. It’s usually ready within 10/15 mins depending on how busy they are. I never dined in, but there’s lost of seating inside to do so. If you’re not a kimbap fan, they have many other Korean dishes to choose from.”

“A hidden gem in Norwalk that truly feeds the soul. We arrived hungry right before the evening dinner rush and had the whole dining room to ourselves. The dining area was immaculate, quiet, and spacious. The food here is authentic, comforting, and deeply satisfying. Their soups are clearly the star of the menu: The Soups: The broth is rich, clean, and simmered to perfection, served in massive, hearty portions. The galbi-tang had huge, tender beef ribs practically falling off the bone, and the traditional seolleongtang was milky, comforting, and packed with tender meat. Suyuk / Pork Slices: The pork belly slices were tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented alongside pickled radish wraps, crisp cabbage, fresh garlic, and sliced jalapeños. Wrapping a bite with the spicy seasoned radish relish made for an incredible combination of textures and flavors. Banchan: Every side dish tasted fresh and homemade, especially the kkakdugi (radish kimchi) and fish cakes. What made the meal even more memorable was the host. The owner was exceptionally kind, warm, and attentive without ever hovering, letting us enjoy our dinner at our own pace. The restaurant is located inside the mall complex, we didn’t know they and it took us a while to find it. Follow the spa sign outside into the mall complex and it is just across the spa. If you are craving comforting, authentic Korean soups and dishes cooked with care, do not miss Palbang Seolleongtang. We’ll definitely be back!”

“My parents and I go to this restaurant whenever I visit them in Gardena. This is one of those restaurants that the local Koreans go to for good food. You know what I mean. We had sullungtang - I chose meat while my mom chose mixed. Excellent food and good banchan. The people around kept on asking for more radish kimchee - I didn’t think it was that good - we preferred their fresh cabbage kimchee.”

“Great intestines and love the ban chan that came with the meal! We also got beef brisket as a staple kbbq item. I personally prefer the daechong but it's nice to get the variety. The intestines also came with mushrooms, garlic, green onion, white onion, rice cakes, potato and probably more that I missed identifying. The stew was great and the kimchi pancake was nice as well. The glass noodles had great mushroom flavor to it, so pleasantly surprised. We probably ordered enough for 3-4 people but it actually was just two orders, one of the intestines and beef brisket so bring more people or take home the yumminess. Highly recommend!”

“You don’t see many restaurants with such realistic high marks unless the service is exceptional. It’s a one-woman show so there aren’t any part timers to ruin the score. It does feel like you got transported to a shop off the main thoroughfares of a smaller city in Korea or in an older neighborhood of Seoul. It’s self-service kimchi, salad, soup and drinks. Fried rice at the end is for tomorrow’s lunch or dinner.”

I’m not sure why she’s still employed there, but please be cautious about what you’re being charged. The food is delicious, but some of us have a hard time living on tips.
