The taste is way beyond great! I also want to THANK "JOY" Catering for delivering all the way out to City of Industry and our staff are looking forward to LUNCH everyday! We are very fortunate to find "JOY" Catering!!!“

“Amazing food love Korean fusion especially the bulgogi burrito 🌯🌯🌯the burrito is so packed it will likely fall apart as the tortilla cannot contain all the incredible food and delectable ingredients. I got the bulgogi and it was perfect. Juicy, just the perfect amount of sweetness. A generous proportion and well balanced with the egg, veggies etc.. a perfect medley and entirely satisfying.“

“Delighted with their service and food. Serving is perfectly good for 2 and with reasonable price.“

“This has been a regular spot of mine even after I moved out of the immediate area. The chicken box is a great little meal & my favorite but the grilled bowl is also delicious. Actually everything I've had here is delicious and the evening vibes are fantastic. Low lights & music that doesn't distract from conversation. Did I mention the disco ball?“

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“

“The food here is Top Notch! My favorite is the #13 Gamjatang and #16 Wooguji Galbitang. Soups are flavorful and loaded with lots of meat! They don't skimp on the ingredients here! Love their kimchi!

Restaurant is clean and spacious with bright lighting.“

📩 Craving Korean street food in OC? Look no further! Try @laon I had the chance to try their items this past week, and it did not disappoint!

We ordered:
1. Hangang Ramen (Buldalk Quattro Cheese) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2. Tuna Kimbob ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
3. Pork Cutlet ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*Note: ⏰ Happy Hour (Tue-Fri)
1PM–3PM & 4PM–6PM

They have a variety of different ramen that you’re able to cook and customized! You can choose what toppings you want, and basically control the flavor, softness of the noodles, etc. It was such a fun experience!

The Tuna Kimbob was also super delicious and incredibly filling. I love Kimbob, and I used to take some of my best friend’s all the time when she brought them for lunch at school. So this was soooo nostalgic ✨

The pork cutlet was also HUGE, for one, but it was also sooooo good and crispy. It’s definitely an item that I think is for sharing because I could not finish that myself.

Overall, if you’re craving authentic Korean style street food, this is the place to go!

“Hidden gem, great for lunch and they do catering. I ordered multiple items for catering for a party, and my guest kept telling me how amazing the food was. Three of my guests went to eat at the restaurant the next week and again told me how amazing it was.“

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

“Excellent and authentic food. Very friendly and informative service. Casual atmosphere. The restaurant was empty at lunchtime on a Saturday, but service was quick and attentive. Meat came out sizzling on cast iron platters. Banchan were very tasty. Refreshing cold chewy buckwheat noodles.“

“Place is amazing with great food and wonderful food! The bowls they have here are outstanding and give you so much food for the price you pay per entree. Highly recommend this to anyone in the area and/or visiting the plaza and want to get a glorious meal.“

“I came in at 3pm when the dining room was empty and the lights had been dimmed. The owner warmly welcomed me in, lit the dining room again, and offered water. I ordered the dried pollack soup and it was served with several small saucers that included cabbage, pickled cucumber, rice, beansprouts, peppers, and 2 other dishes I couldn't name but were very tasty. I liked that the soup broth was flavourful but not oily and had several thick tofu pieces in addition to the fish. The meal in total was $20. I will definitely return to try more dishes. I also appreciated that they have their own parking lot, which is not a given in the area. The shop was clean and peaceful and the photos of the food help with ordering if you aren't familiar with the menu.“

“All the side dishes and main menus here are hands-down the best among all Korean restaurants in Orange County.
The neat and heartfelt side dishes,
and the main dishes made without skimping on any ingredients, are all truly delicious.
Our family is sincerely a loyal regular at Hanmi Restaurant.“

“Man , what can I say, ! The food so far is great, i have tried two of their menus and completely satisfied me! I can wait to try their other menus!! The service is good , i always go for “MANY” option ! The atmosphere and the vibe is nice! I can not even tell I am in Long Beach, which i live two blocks away from this place by the way!! Suuuper good!“

“Finally we came to this Korean restaurant tonight and knew that we had made the right decision. We tried their Bossum and Seafood pancake and it turned out they were really delicious. Our server was very friendly and professional. Their pricing is very reasonable. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Went in today !! Gotta say the food was great .. had spicy beef soup and my wife had bulgogi and dumplings … was completely satisfied with this place !! Also we were the only 2 customers there .. which was shocking after having tasted the food … very delicious… how is this not a popular place ???“

“Me and the family came here during the week to try something new. Saw the food and menu and thought let’s do it.

Came in and got seated right away. Inside looks great with a lot of room and the staff was very friendly.

After looking over the menu, we picked more items than we thought we could handle. But all of it was amazing.

We ordered TTEOK BOKKI with ramen and cheese. Tasted great. Great texture and taste

Come with the Korean Style Spicy chicken. Perfectly cooked and seasoned and a hint of spice that gives it a great flavor.

Lastly we ordered the Spicy Pork Bulgogi. Just as the chicken, amazing. Spicer than the chicken by a tad but amazing taste

We ordered rice with it which probably why we didn’t finish half of the portions of each dish. The employees felt we didn’t like it but we took it home to eat again the following day!

Must try in the Gardena area. :) thank you!“

“I really love this place. From the banchan to the tofu soup, everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The fishcake banchan was the best I've had from a restaurant, smoky and savory. I got the intenstine tofu soup and the intestine was cooked just right, cleaned and so tender. Spouse got the seafood hand cut noodles and the broth was wonderful. Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“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.“

“I was going back to the yard to part my semi and I thought I’d get something quick to snack on at the corner store but it wasn’t open. The next thing open beside it was LUCKILY Tokyo Grill! I was hungry and I was going to wait til I got home but I decided to get the chicken bowl because I saw it was 9 bucks. I didn’t expect much as I took it to my truck and man was I blown away. The flavor of the chicken was so delicious and the amount of ingredients they put into the bowl is unbelievable. It had green beans pineapple carrot slices cabbage and some other vegetables. I was amazed for how much food they gave me for the plate only being 9 bucks and they put a lot of chicken in there which was a big plus. I didn’t have to dig around for any chicken.That’s why I’m writing this review, hopefully it helps anyone thinking coming to eat here. Oh and I also had really dirty hands and the lady at the cash register which I believe was part owner, gave me some wipes and was really nice. I’m pretty sure their other dishes are great too. I didn’t take a picture of my food because I was really hungry but it’s worth each penny I wasted.“

“Nice spot in Cerritos. Great selection on the menu. The food taste original and comes with larger than regular sized bowl or plate. We tried jajang myeon, donkatsu, spicy squid over rice, fried dumplings and teriyaki bowl. This place is worth coming back.“

“It's a simple but very satisfying restaurant! As the name suggests, the main dish is a combination of rice and soup, and the gentle seasoning that brings out the flavors of the ingredients is appealing. We especially recommend the soup rice, which has plenty of ingredients and is perfectly balanced and nutritious. It's filling, but not heavy, and it leaves you feeling warm and warm even after you've finished eating. The inside of the restaurant is clean and has a calm atmosphere, so it's perfect for when you want to have a quick meal by yourself. This is a restaurant that can be recommended for those who are health conscious! Please try it!“

“I can honestly say this barbecue chicken was perfection from the first bite to the last. The meat was tender, juicy, and cooked all the way through without losing any of its natural flavor. The smoky aroma hit me before I even took a bite, and the sweet-tangy BBQ sauce clung to every piece like a delicious glaze. It had just the right balance of char on the outside for that satisfying grill taste, without being overdone.

Every bite was a mix of savory, smoky, and slightly sweet, making it clear that whoever prepared it knows their way around a grill. Paired with a side of fresh cornbread and coleslaw, it was the kind of meal that makes you want to come back for seconds… and thirds.

If you’re looking for barbecue chicken that’s flavorful, tender, and cooked to absolute perfection, this is it.“

“If you want the kind of Korean comfort food that wraps you in a big cozy blanket and whispers, “You’re home now,” Jang Mo Jip is the place.

Nothing flashy, no Instagram gimmicks — just steaming bowls of hearty soup, beautifully chewy dumplings (I LOVE their dumplings, they’re my ride-or-die here), piles of fresh kimchi, and honest, satisfying flavors.

The atmosphere is no-frills but exactly what you want when you’re craving soul-warming sul lung tang or a healing haejang guk.

The banchan? Solid, classic, and plentiful. You leave full, happy, and with the kind of quiet joy only a truly good meal can give.

Not trying to impress, just trying to feed you well — and that’s what keeps me coming back.

Comfort food at its finest.“

“Delicious food, fast service, friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere…all in all definitely a great place to eat at. I’ve been there twice and have left both times fully satisfied by the food and planning to return.“

“This place is my go-to spot for Korean food, especially 아구찜, 은대구조림, and 닭갈비. The prices are very reasonable, and the food is consistently delicious. Every time our family eats here, we leave happy with both the quality of the food and the value for what we paid.

FYI, the owner sometimes closes the restaurant due to personal reasons, so it’s a good idea to check that they’re open before heading out.“

“I love the family-feel atmosphere. The ladies waiting tables are very efficient. Love the affordable prices and the food!“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Taste goodThis is one of the delicious Korean food restaurants. My favorite dish in this restaurant is the young radish kimchi. The young radish kimchi and soybean paste stew that are served as side dishes and complimentary throughout the year bring me here.Personally, I find various items on their menu tasty, including kalguksu (knife-cut noodles), grilled hairtail fish, and braised hairtail fish. Today, I enjoyed the pork bossam, and I would rate it three stars. It was rich and satisfying.One thing that disappointed me was that the jjanchi guksu (banquet noodles) I ordered for takeout two weeks ago, which I thought was on the menu, turned out to be a different dish. It was more like somyeon (thin wheat noodles) in kalguksu broth, not what I expected. It started with my misunderstanding, and I appreciate them trying to accommodate my request, but I was completely disappointed as it was a different dish. In my opinion, it would be better if they informed customers that what they requested isn't on the menu.This has been my favorite kalguksu place for a long time. Despite the name changing several times over 23 years, a five-star rating is more than enough.

Parking: The packing lot is always available.If, full paking lot. Use the back side parking lot.“

“I travel far ... just to have my pre birthday lunch.. thank you so much for such courteous attention and most delicious food 😋“

“I’m giving this place more like a 3.5. Luckily for them the food is excellent. The service was awful. The wait wasn’t that bad at around 40 min. The moment we sat down a rushing waitress showed up asking what we’d order and they dropped off 2 place settings. We were missing 1 napkin for 2 people. Not a big deal and was dealt with quickly. Then someone drops off 1 water and 2 teas so we are short 1 water. They never corrected the issue but it wasn’t an issue as my mother didn’t want ice water anyways, but it’s a bit much to assume. We hadn’t even gotten to look at the menu yet. Then a waitress comes around again before we are ready and we had to send her away again. Then finally we ordered. About 2 minutes later our rice arrives. After that it was a full 30 minutes before we received our food. People around us got their ban Chan and food before us despite ordering after us. All the food and ban Chan arrive at the same time and they are apologizing to us. The waitress (different person this time) asks us if we want tea. I say yes. No tea arrives until I ask. Then need the check. Have to ask again. I understand they are busy but everyone else seemed to be receiving what they ordered in a timely manner. You can probably get away with the delay with a larger table, but not a 2 person table. Our table was the only one that seemed to be waiting that long.“

“I just had the best experience eating here. I was recommend this place because I love Pho and my fiance loves ramen. This place delivered exceedingly delicious plates for the both of us! We loved both so much and we know that this is out new spot. The most memorable experience was the kindness of the staff. I felt welcomed like I was being treated at a family members home and I was constantly attended to despite the restaurant being busy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and this is my new favorite spot!“

“Come on Now! I hurt my mouth so the only thing I can eat was porridge. But where can I find porridge? I found it here after googling porridge… And it was fantastic. Not “the best” in terms of the fancy restaurant style of rice porridge (juk) but definitely more homey vibes version. Like how your mom or granny would make it.

The banchan (side dishes) were really fresh and a lot of variety. I’m going to try more menu items once my mouth heals.

This place has great comfort foods and classic korean foods most other places don’t have! More authentic. Not your basic trendy Korean spot.

Also, the lady who runs the register and serves is so kind. She is like the best Korean auntie. Just a kind soul.

I will bring my wife and our families (Lord willing)!

9/10“

“The kimbap 10/10
Teokbokki was really watery so if you like urs thicker prolly not from here. But the rice cakes were really nice and soft.
Chicken very good and crispy
We got fries w our idk if it was on purpose but very gratefull“

“This place is insane value. The sandwich ingredients are fresh and the chicken is very crispy. My second time going and it’s just as good as the first time.
If you like spicy the sauce is perfect numbing flavor. I already want to go back and can’t wait to try the other menu items.
Also if you like purple yam the Goguma latte is very creamy/rich and refreshing.
The owners are so nice and friendly- I’m surprised this place isn’t packed. Look forward to trying again soon.“

“Last week, 19 people had a swimming pool manager's meeting at Cerritos Seoul Sundae. I've seen many restaurants in passing, but today was my first time going in, so I was curious about what the food would be like. The food was unexpectedly good and the service was good. I think it will be okay for my group to come next time.“

“Inside Hmart is everything !Order the bibimbab & the price was everything ! ? 6 bucks special! Really delicious!My brother ordered the beef ramen and that was also really good!10 bucks for the ramen ! Coming back for sure if I have to run to hmart ♡“

“I just want to say that not only the food is good here, but also their customer service. There was only one gentleman working today. He was the cashier and the cook. He had so many customers, yet as busy as he was, he was efficient, friendly, and acknowledged each person as they walked in. This guy needs a raise for all his hard work. Thank you“

“Gangnam Kimbob has 20 different kinds of kimbob to choose from! They have tuna, pork cutlet, shrimp tempura kimbob and more

?? We ordered
- bimbim kimbob ( spicy mix with bulgogi & veggies )
- pork belly with veggies kimbob
- cheese rice cake
- fish cake soup

It’s a fast - grab & go spot for some delicious kimbob take out :) price range is reasonable - around $10 for a pack of kimbob

Parking: It’s free parking lot but busy weekend- can street park“

“First, I notice it's not flame brolier.
The portions are bigger. However, you can get your own sauce. They gave 2 small tiny teriyaki for a works bowl. Then, I was charged for extra sauce. The 2 she gives is not enough. You usually can put the sauce on yourself. Not here they give 2 per bowl.“

“Some of the best chicken I’ve ever had, some of the best chicken the people at my dinner have ever had. You know when you’re hanging out with people conversation is incredibly important. Food is as important. B.bq made my party outstanding. Some of the people that were here had never tried this restaurant. Now that has changed, many more plans to re-order. I am a repeat customer when I see people with subpar chicken, it breaks my heart. I have never felt that way with this restaurant. I have friends and family coming over in a week I’ve already Menu over to each and every one of them. I can’t wait for our feast.“

“Order:
🍚 Hot Stone Bibimbap
🍲 Beef Short Rib Soondubu
🐙 Seafood Pancake
🥟 Fried Dumpling
🐷 Pork Cutlet

Ever since I discovered Cho Dang last year, it’s become a staple in my local restaurant rotation. Chodang in Cerritos hits the spot when you’re craving comforting, cozy Korean eats. Their popular soondubu is rich, flavorful, and served boiling hot, just the way it should be. The sizzling stone pot bibimbap has the most perfect crispy rice layer on the bottom. Other dishes we tried included the donkatsu/pork cutlet and the seafood pancake.

Each and every item was delicious! There was nothing I would change about any of the food I had. It was and is always the perfect cozy meal. Service is great as well, and the portions are extremely generous. Hope you can try Cho Dang soon if you haven’t already!“

“So happy to find this Korean restaurant in Long Beach! The fried chicken is truly amazing! My favorite is the original, but the sweet and spicy is also really good! And the bulgogi had a totally authentic flavor; goes great in the burrito, bowl, and on fries. The workers are also always very friendly. Will definitely be back many times!“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“Good food. Get your veggies 😋 great place to get your delicious daily quoata on veggies. I love the tofu with chicken, ask for the tofu well done mixed with the chicken and extra veggies, it's definitely delicious. Happy eating friends. Kindness counts and turns a frown upside down. 🙏🤗“

“The food was very delicious and fresh . They are a lot more accommodating than the previous owner . They recently changed management and their customer service is amazing now and I'm her to stay for it ! Jennifer and her crew were extremely helpful in helping me choose an item off the menu and I ended up choosing an amazing hot Cheeto corn dog that came out amazing and hot . THE CHEESE PULL GOT MEEE! 100% Recommended coming. The spot is also very clean as well as the bathroom they keep it real clean .“

“(Translated by Google) It is the best place for a group of guests. The food is especially delicious. There are large rooms and small rooms, so they are perfect for groups. Parking is also not inconvenient. Of course, there is a large hall, so it is good not only for singles but also for couples.(Original)단체손님인 경우에는 최적의 장소이다. 특히 음식이 맛있다. 큰룸과 작은룸이 있어서 그룹으로 가기에 안성맞춤이다. 파킹 또한 불편함이 없다. 물론 넓은 홀이 있어서 혼자서 뿐만 아니라 커플이 가기에도 좋다.“
